What’s Your Vibe?

Mar 17

You Have a Frequency

Some call it a vibe. Essentially, it’s the energy you put out into the world and the people around you. Everything in the universe is made up of matter, and all matter vibrates at a frequency. Just like certain flowers emit a frequency to attract bees for pollination, we also attract experiences, people, and circumstances based on our frequency—our vibe.

If you find yourself surrounded by negativity, it may be worth asking: What energy am I putting out? If there’s one takeaway from chemistry class, it’s that positive and negative forces either attract or repel. Emotions work the same way—they are energy in motion. They travel through our bodies via neural pathways, constantly sending data between the brain and nervous system. This is why we physically feel emotions. They are signals, much like a warning light on your car’s dashboard, letting you know something needs attention.

When we ignore our emotions, that energy doesn’t just disappear—it gets stuck. Suppressed emotions can create tension, anxiety, and even physical symptoms. Think of it like emotional constipation. If you’ve ever been constipated, you know how uncomfortable it is. Emotionally, that same "stuckness" can lower your frequency and leave you feeling drained.

The Frequency of Emotions

Emotions have measurable vibrations. Shame and guilt, for example, are at the lowest end of the spectrum, around 20-30 Hz. To put that into perspective, death is 0 Hz. Chronic shame keeps a person living in deep emotional darkness. At this frequency, it’s easy to attract situations and relationships that reinforce these painful states.

On the other hand, higher-frequency emotions, like love and joy, feel lighter and more expansive. But to reach them, we have to move through the full range of emotions. This is where anger comes in. Anger, often avoided because of societal or religious conditioning, actually plays a crucial role in healing. It vibrates around 150 Hz—much higher than shame. Healthy anger is a sign of self-worth. It tells us when a boundary has been crossed. If we don’t allow ourselves to feel anger, we stay stuck in shame and despair. It’s only by moving through anger that we reach courage (200 Hz)—the turning point where real emotional shifts begin.

Shifting Your Vibe

Just like sound waves can move water or sand, frequencies shape our internal and external experiences. This is why music can stir such deep emotions. Words, thoughts, and even the way we speak to ourselves hold power. Watch this video.

The good news is—you can shift your frequency. Awareness is the first step. By recognizing where you are on the emotional scale, you gain the ability to move upward. Therapy is a powerful place to explore this, to process stuck emotions, and to reclaim your energy.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind." — 2 Timothy 1:7
