Adam fell that men might be; men are that they might have joy. 2 Nephi 2:25
Heavenly Father created us with the intention that we would create joy... so how many of us have joy? What does it mean to have joy? What does it mean to sustain joy?
There is a chart, Human Emotions Vibrations Analysis Frequency Ranges which ranks emotions from low to high. Joy is near the top, while shame and guilt are near the bottom.
Many people with addictions often find their vibrations are very low. Shame, guilt, apathy, grief and fear are all feelings addicts have. Those feelings vibrate at 100 or lower. Other emotions are: desire at 125, anger is 150 and pride is 175.
When a person vibrates in lower frequencies, it can be very difficult to hear God or feel the Holy Spirit. And consequently it feels like things are cyclical... a viscous circle. Bad things keep happening. When the truth is that's all we can create at those lower frequencies. That is how most problems are created.
Are you familiar with the phrase, "Rise Above"? That statement really means to raise the vibration. Albert Einstein said something like this... "We can not solve problems at the same level that we created them." If we are constantly hanging out in those lower emotions, it can be difficult to get out of them and we can end up in that vicious circle again.
So when we get tired of feeling bad most or all of the time, we do have options. We can raise our vibration. Okay, so do how does one raise their vibration? Great question! The answer is really almost so simple that it might even be dismissed. Positive affirmations and gratitude.
What is a positive affirmation? More or less, they are positive phrases which you repeat to yourself that describe how you want to be. (even if they are not true right now they will come true)
Carol Tuttle has stated in many of her cds and books that she would go through her day saying 50-100 times a day... I am happy! Life is easy!! It is familiar!!! These (and others like them) are great affirmations to say... even if they don't feel true... yet. Carol's CD is called Powerful Affirmations to Change Your Life.
Louise L. Hay has lots of affirmations in a great book called Heal Your Body (and other materials.) Follow me on Twitter for daily affirmations.
At what level do we want to be vibrating at?
Raising our vibration is like climbing a ladder. We take a step up, and raise our vibration a little bit... but it feels good, so we keep climbing.
Then suddenly, it seems to high, so we may go back to the lower emotions, where it feels a little more comfortable, hopefully not going all the way back down to the bottom.
Sooner or later, we feel ready to climb another rung or two or three... Don't be surprised if it's not sustainable... yet. Give yourself some time to Rise Up. Because it will become familiar, the more we live in the higher vibrations.
Remember, we have been vibrating in the lower energies longer than in the higher vibrations. It may feel strange and awkward for a while. Stick with it. You can write affirmations, you sing affirmations, you can dance the affirmations.
Being grateful is another way to raise your vibration. Express sincere gratitude often, in prayer, in your journal, to family members... and watch what happens.
Courage is 200, Neutrality is 250, Willingness is 310, Acceptance is 350, Reason is 400, Love is 500, Joy is 540, Peace is 600 and Enlightenment is 700.
It's time to raise the earth's vibration... one person at a time.
