12 Tips to Rise up and Get Real

Many people ask to “raise their frequency”, like it’s as simple as creating Spotify playlist or Youtube DIY video. Perhaps you wear crystals, draw mandelas, practice yoga or martial arts, utter mantras like “I release what no longer serves me,”  utter protection charms, take psychedelics or plant medicine and wonder why you’re not regulaly vibrating with flowers coming out your ears.

The thing is, stabilizing a higher or expanded vibration, raising your frequency isn’t all roses and uplifting cacao ceremonies. It includes getting teary or sobbing for no apparent reason when you least expect it. Its about feeling achy, restless, dissatisfied, angry, hormonal, fesity or wanting to strangle that over-active mind.

At a piviotal moment, it dawns that to vibe higher requires you get comfortable with being uncomfortable to the surface. You’ve gotta dive deep into emotional waters where you fear to tread.  This means feeling into the anger, the grief, and the gamut of forgotten emotions the total honesty you’ve been avoiding since childhood.So, if you keep up appearances, pretend all is well when you feel dead or empty inside, consider these tips rise up and get real.

1. Breathwork

Do you want to feel divine or just hyperventilate like a child having a fainting spell?  Breathwork can enable both.  A short period (10min) of deep, conscious breathing can elicit feeling high, humbled, and halfway to a mystical experience, assuming you don’t give up or  fall asleep early.  It’s free. It’s primal. It’s available right now.  Or you can also pay for a personal or group guide you to “activate” what is hidden. Whichever path you choose, let the soul be your pilot.

2. Meditation

Simply sit down, preferably outside, cross your legs (or not), and watch the thoughts come and go like the tide. Play  432Hz or 528Hz as binaural beats, the whole solfeggio frequency range  or Hangpan if you need a soundtrack.But the quickest way to raise your energy through meditation is not to try or think about it. Immerse in nature.Watch the mind dance and marvel at the genius.  Eventually, something quiet arises. That consciousness is you.

3. Fasting (or change that diet)

If you want to feel closer to heaven, choose to skip a meal or go gently- have a vegetarian meal once a week, change your meal menus.   If it suits, skip eating for a day, do a detox, guided water or juice fast. At some point, you may feel so lightheaded, you’ll either meet the Divine or see food very differently. Caution though. Fasting isn’t magic, it can sharpen clarity through temporary self-deprivation. If you get moody or aggressive without food, trial fast on a weekend.

4. Heart-Mind Coherence

Close both physical eyes. See with the third eye. Reflect on what you really love: your dog, baby, kids, getting your hands in the garden soil, the butterfly feeling eliited by a timeless kiss, the moment your lover gazes deeply in your eyes and you feel truly connected. Reflect on what enables you to feel alive.The heart isn’t just a pump. It’s a tuning fork for your core humanity. To stabilize a higher frequency, feel into everything. Live intensely. Allow all emotion to build up and let it melt in your chest.

5. Ecstatic Movement

You change you life from the moment you ecstatic dance at crazy hours with a face shaking back and forth like you are shapeshifting.  Dance like nobody is watching, love your body like it owes you nothing and you’ll find your trauma as tightness hiding in joints and hips.  It may stike you as off the wall.  Do it anyway.  You’ll come out lighter, looser, alive.  Shake what you outgrow out of your cells.

6. Face Your Shadows

This one tends to evoke discomfort. It’s about you, a journal, and the part of you that never healed from way back in this lifetime or other timlines. Journal the stuff you don’t want anyone to read.  Write letters you never send and burn them if you like. This is about calling yourself out on the lies you tell in relationships,  what your anger really wants to express, in silence.  This is frequency work. Do it with a pen. Read it back to yourself. Get to know the hidden voices that speak though you and ask to be heard, validated and loved.

7. Immerse in Nature

Go barefoot. Hug a tree. Jump in a puddle or roll in the mud.  Do those things that evoke the spontaneous, inner child.  Walk more regularly on the ground without shoes. This will strengthen and uplift your nervous system than another mindfulness app asking you to breathe like a seahorse.  Nature doesn’t care how spiritual you are. It already vibrates high. Tune into the plants, flowers, and insects. Ly on the beach. Listen to waves.

8. Speak Your Truth

Caution: speaking your truth , saying how you feel in the moment to someone's face may result in endings.  But nothing lowers your frequency like being liked for someone you’re not.  Express your feeings. Be real. Ask the awkward question or request forgiveness. Admit what you want.  Authenticity may be scary.  Yet it also frees you like nothing else.  It helps you rememeber you wings and suddenly you fly.

9. Treat Everything as Sacred

To be spiritual, you don’t need to move to Bali or be a solitary ascetic in a remote mountain in Nepal. Wash your dishes like they are holy. Take a poop with reverence. Be grateful for the air you breathe. Light a candle and mean it.  Sacredness isn’t a ceremony, it’s attention.

10. Rediscover Stillness

Give your kids, your partnerm your dog, your life and what matters most your full attention. Enlightenment is love. No need to seek it outside yourself. >It’s in the stillness between your distractions. Stop. Listen. Breathe. Eureka!

11. Scream therapy

It may shock you, but sometimes the fastest way to raise your frequency is to scream into a pillow or the wind on an forest path, consciously.  Roar into the void. Howl like a lion who finds its voice. Be like the werewolf wolfing out. It’s not drama. It’s detox. Years of swallowed pain have been living in your throat chakra. Trime to unleash it. Cry. Wail. Break plates (safely). Do whatever it takes to stop being a well-behaved zombie waiting for enlightenment. Your voice is a weapon. Use it to reclaim your life. Create pottery, sculpt, skinny dip under the Moon and scream with delight. Do what it takes to let loose and be free. 

12.Laught wholeheartedly

There is good reason laughter yoga a laughter therapy are growing in popularity. We are guided to move beyond the polite chuckle used to survive awkward moments. Snort, fart, allow tears run down your face, drool. Laugh until you gasp for air. Laughter heals the soul.  Trauma release ceremonies have their place but getting real implies going beyond them and recalling what it is to surrender to spontaneity.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Shower of Change

Dream:

I ws in the shower.  I did not physically ressembe my current appearance. I had short black hair and I was a cartoon character. As the water came down on my body, the colour was washed off and there was nothing left. 

 

Insight:

This may be viewed as a shapeshifting dream.  It is a reminder of what Shakespeare reminds us: "All the world's a stage and men and women are only players."

Water dreams or falling water echo we are healing from the past, and optimistic about things. It also refers to purifying ourselves physically and spiritually to preparing for new realities where we realize a different state of mind and being.  If showering or bathing evokes unsettled thoughts or feeling "dirty", something deeper may need to be addressed. These generally include emotionally distressing or stressful situations that arise for acceptance and healing.

To dream that our life or body is a cartoon implies we don't take life too seriously or would be better off if we found ways to lighten up.. This could mean we would benefit from growing aware of a stressful habits or thinking patterns.  Consider it a possible wake up call to reframe our life, to remind us we can always shift perspective.  We can always erase a version of ourselves through integrating lessons and/or letting go of what we outgrow.

When rewriting (or rescripting) our dreams, we are growing more conscious of who we are and our true power.  This is a way to actively approach the storyboard of our soul journey. That is, we close our eyes and run through the images in our mind, and then rewind the image and rewrite it – rewrite the story, in whatever way we choose. In essence, we are taking charge of the image on our own terms.  At any given moment, we realize we decide how we wish to feel and where we will allow energy to flow.  When focused, every thought and feeling can be harsessed and redirected consciously. 

Dream Analysis of the Week- Cancer & Relief

Dream:

In the dream, my mother had cancer in her lower body and doctors said it was spreading. She was mostly confined to bed and accepted medication. I wanted to know how to heal her disease.  She was disinterested.

Insight:

On a basic level, we cannot control or change others, only how we respond to them.The point of view (beliefs) of the experiencer strongly influences the outcome.   

The scientist would describe an ailment based on his language, conditioning and understanding.  A shaman might tune into deep hurt, longstanding resentment, a deep secret or grief eating away at the self of the client. Those who tune into energy sense cancer emits a vibration that reflects the experiencer holds hatreds or grudges. If disheartened, the experiencer may say, “What’s the use?”

Many people limit sense of things to the physical bosy, that which appears to be born and assumes it will die. This view alone underestimates the power of the mind.  Humans are always affected by the energy of their attitudes.  Someone who has a superiority complex or who is aggressive and violent, is on a downward spiral.  They are weakened in their heart, mind and solar plexus where emotional attitudes are held.  In the Andes, people often attribute an aching stomach to have been caused by sorrow.

People who harbour hatred inevitably experience conflicts with relationships, and imbalances in material world.  All this reflects degeneration on a cellular level.  Evaluating energy centres of the dreamer is often advisable.

The dreamer would be wise to reflect on energy levels, whether there exists a craving for affection or a fear of certain kinds of treatment or environments. What makes you feel excluded or ignored?

We offer Dream Consultations on single or multiple dreams as part of individual sessions or psychotherapy.  We also offer an Astral, Lucid and Dream Yoga Course.

Get to root of dis-ease

Notice we must each get to the root of our dis-ease (discomfort) if we truly want freedom to be our reality. How deeply can we heal our bodies or the bodies of loved ones when it comes to healing? How can energies outside the body be harnessed to heal? The energy that made the body can heal the body.

The what always comes before the how. The feeling or sense of direction presents itself in conscious awareness before the path that allows it to happen, before even clarity of exactly what is blossomin through us or in our midst. We get cues from body signs and signals, the environment. Opportunities show up. We may act in the moment before mind attempts to talk us out of it.

Trusting our gut is just as important as listening and allowing ourselves to tune into subtle senses. It helps to make deliberate choices, about relationships and situations we engage in. We can empower ourselves by deciding to stay engaged for a period, create boundaries, or an exit plan rather than allow others to create our limits, decide for us, take the upper hand. The ball is always in our court.

Consider dreams are the brain’s way of processing information that’s left over from each day. They are rich with valuable data – experiences, memories, learnings. Theya re valuable tools to work with if we allow this. Paying attention to dreams can provide information that we may not have access to when awake. Before falling asleep, we can turn our thoughts to any unresolved issues or situation. Focus energy on exploring options or resolutions as we fall asleep. This is an exercise in both self-directedness and surrender

Play to stretch body-mind

Notice new experiences stretch mind- body. Some question the difference between spontaneous and impulsive. This journey challenges self-created limits, nudges us out of comfort zones. Everything unfolding invites us to deepen connection to the heart. Where to from here? Options are as unique as snowflakes.

As we immerse into spontaneous movement, twiddle our fingers, move our shoulders and hips and rest of the body, sing, we rediscover the power of free spirit enables us to feel more alive. Exchanges with like-minded souls spark more curiousity, elicit humor, nurture growth, even unforeseen healing. When we feel stuck, indecisive, lack confidence, allowing our playful spirit expression is like giving ourselves permission to shake up and let go of our illusions. Things can fall into place without control. Where the mind is too serious and constricted, then life feels too confining.

The key to remembering who we are and being that arises from free-flowing, heartfelt actions; jump into puddles, dance, twirl in bare feet, skip in the sand, fly in an aerial hammock, on skates, in a hangglider or some other way that enables you to be one with nature, wind and energy flow of existence. Let the body move. Let Soul be your pilot. See what happens, what shakes itself out.

A widely forgotten truth is that the genius of play naturally guides us to pay attention and focus on what matters. Play is not only about ourselves. Its about how are we relate to environments, energy flow, others and the world around us. We can pay attention to the body-mind and sacred heart in a whole new way. Discover the joy spontaneity evokes and rekindles any moment.
