Excerpts From The HOW TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATIONAL LEVEL

“....matter and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. That substance is a primal energy of vibration of which we are all composed.”

Albert Einstein

“...all strength, all healing of every nature is the changing of the vibrations from within, the attuning of the divine within ... to Creative Energies.”

Edgar Cayse

“The energy of violence is a slower, more dense vibrational frequency than the energy of love.”

Shirley Maclaine

The word “vibrational” refers to a condition of continual movement. When something vibrates, it moves back and forth between two or more states. This is the essential process that generates all energy or force. 

Your vibrational level is your level of personal energy. Your vibrational level determines your success in every aspect of life. When you are at your highest vibrational level, prosperity comes easily, relationships are happier, psychic powers are more accessible, and spiritual practices are more meaningful.

Consider the difference between ice, water, and steam.  All three are made up of the same basic elements of H²O. But as you add energy in the form of heat, ice becomes water and then water becomes steam.  The differences between these three forms of H²O are defined by the changes in their basic vibrational rates. 

Just as the vibrational nature of ice can change, the vibrational level of your life can change. As you learn to access your latent energies, your life will be transformed.

You live in a universe of energy.  Your body is made up of energy. So, too, are your thoughts and emotions. Your thoughts are not intangible, they have form and potency. Like everything else, your thoughts are essentially energy. By changing the energy level of your thoughts, you change the nature of your life.

How you think about life influences your emotions and behavior. A new outlook on life can help you to make a better use of your emotional energy.

Your direct awareness of your vibrational level comes through your emotions. Those times in your life when you’ve felt exuberant or blissful are the times when you’ve experienced your highest vibrational level.

Applied psychology combined with spiritual principles can help you to improve your life.  You can experience greater joy. You can tap into your hidden reserves of personal energy. This book presents lessons and drills designed to help you to reach and sustain your highest level of emotive energy.

This book is a useful fusion of the science of psychology with the art of spirituality. Although you may already be familiar with some of the drills and ideas presented in this book, you’ll probably be surprised at what you’ll discover here.

We’re confident of the effectiveness of these materials because other people have used them with success. A few years ago, we published an earlier version of this book called The Crown of Achievement. Li MacColl, who has degrees in psychology and sociology, briefly taught some classes based on that book. This book, How to Raise Your Vibrational Level, was inspired by feedback from the readers of our earlier book.

These drills and lessons do work. Other people have already used them to their benefit. They’ll work for you also.

This book will be most useful if you do the drills at the end of each section. Imagine how silly it would be to read a book on carpentry if you never tried to build something with wood. This isn’t some academic book of philosophy. This is a tool for personal transformation.

 Section 1:

THE EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM CHART: 

Section 2:

LIFE FORCE:

The idea of the life force has existed since antiquity. Pre-Christian religions in Northern Europe believed in the life force. Many other religions and philosophies throughout the world have described the life force in a variety of ways. In the past the life force was thought of as a mystical power. However, the “life force” (as it’s defined for the purposes of this book) isn’t mystical.  We have redefined a supernatural belief by explaining it with science. 

When we talk about the life force, we are referring to the collective activity of bioenergy. The prefix “bio” means biological. All living things contain bioenergy. This is what animates life forms. To understand bioenergy, you must understand something of the nature of all energy.

Energy isn’t created or destroyed, it merely changes form.  Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight is utilized by plants to create starch. Solar energy is transferred to plants by this process. When you eat a plant, the energy of that plant is transferred into your body through the process of digestion. You use that energy whenever you perform any physical activity. When you think a thought, your brain uses that energy.  Whether you realize it or not, you are operating on solar energy. What begins as sunlight ends up as the very consciousness in your brain that allows you to read these words.  

You are experiencing the life force whenever you feel your own energy. Your emotions arise from the movement of energy throughout your brain, nervous system, and body. Every emotional state has its own feeling of energy to it. Affection draws you to another person; fear pushes you away.

The energy state of your body changes as your emotions change. Your blood pressure is higher when you are angry than when you are calm. The electrical activity of your brain has different patterns depending upon your emotional state. When your enthusiasm dwindles into boredom, you can feel your energy level subside. Your heart rate and breathing speed up when you’re afraid. Your energy level is higher when you are in love. Your emotions tell you the state of the life force throughout your body. 

Section 4:

DRILL: Observe your feeling of empathy.

All feelings of love for other people arise from your experience of empathy. This drill has two parts: 1. you create the circumstances that will cause you to feel empathy  2. You then pay direct attention to that feeling.

To do this drill, you must find someone who you already know well. This can be a good friend or family member. This must be a cooperative person who you are comfortable with.

The drill is very simple. The two of you sit in chairs across from one another and silently make eye contact. Don’t talk or try to communicate with facial expressions or body language. Just sit in silence and make direct eye contact. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Work through any feelings of discomfort until you feel connected in good will with the other person. At first you may feel a little embarrassed, but just relax and become comfortable sitting there. Once you overcome your initial discomfort, you will notice that you have a feeling about this other person. That feeling, of course, is empathy. Merely pay attention to that feeling.

Don’t rush through this drill; savor the feeling. Be sure to spend at least five or ten minutes doing it. Completely center yourself in this feeling of empathy.

The reason that this is important is that once you center yourself in your feelings of empathy, you can more easily extend those feelings to other people, including strangers. There is real power in this.

Section 9:

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE:

All things are connected. Life is an ever-revolving circle.  Death is simply a new phase of life.  Death provides nutrients essential to the creation of new life.  Death is not the end, but just another beginning. 

As a young girl, I learned all this from my father.  He was an entomologist (someone who studies insects) and a lover of nature.  One day we were walking in the woods and we came upon a tree that had fallen over and was beginning to decompose.  Fungi and tiny seedlings emerged from the rotting flesh of the tree.  There were even a few flowers growing right at the spot where the trunk was sinking into the ground. 

At first when I saw this I was sad because the tree was dying.  But my dad told me not to be sad because life was just changing.  He explained to me that as the big tree was dying, many other things were being born.  He pointed to the fungi that had pushed through the soft flesh of the decaying tree.  “These mushrooms are feeding off the dying tree,” he explained.

I dug my pudgy fingers into the moist spongy tissue and pulled away a bit of bark.  Underneath was a multitude of bugs of various kinds.  “Is that what happens when people die?” I asked my father. 

“Pretty much,” my dad answered.  “When a person dies he is buried in the ground.  After a long time his body rots and becomes part of the soil, like this tree here.”  Dad ran his fingers through the rich moist soil next to the tree.  “Eventually the trees around where he is buried will use the vitamins in the soil to grow.  Bugs will eat some of the body and other animals will eat those bugs.  So the body of the person who died will come to be inside the trees, animals, and plants that are nearby. That is how life keeps moving on.  It’s all connected.  It all works together.”

We too are connected to all other life on this planet and to all matter in our universe.  We are connected to the stars and the meteorites in space.  We are a part of the life force that moves our planet in seasons and cycles.  We are all connected to one another.

Sectiion 10:

VISUALIZATION:

Imagine that you are at an open field where there are dozens of hot air balloons.  Every person that you have ever known in your life, for better or worse, is with you in the field.  You walk through the field looking at their faces and remembering as many of their names as you can.

In small groups, they climb into the balloons and fly off.  You watch the balloons float up into the sky and disappear into the distance as the wind carries them off.

When all of the people are gone, you get into the last balloon and float off by yourself.  At first you feel very lonely.  But as you look down from the heights, you become fascinated at all the beauty of the world below you.  You see fields, forests and towns from above.

In front of you there is a field where some of the balloons have already landed.  You let out just enough hot air to allow the balloon to land safely on that field. 

As luck would have it, only your most beloved friends and family members are there at that landing field. 

You all get together and put colorful blankets on the ground.  Then everyone sits down and has a picnic.  You savor every bite, as you eat your favorite foods.
