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.

5 Insights for Smoother Transitions

More and more people are going through transitions or life changes at an accelerated rate.  It may be the prospect of a geographic move, a job change, relationship endning or transformation, acquiring of a new pet or some other shift that is playing on your mind.  Should you or not? Consider 5 insights for smoother transitions:

1. Take advantage of a change of scenery

If you contemplate change in some area of your life yet still hesitate taking action, stepping out of your comfort zone temporarily can give you new perspective. A short trip away, house sit or farm stay may offer what you require to clear your head and see things from a more neutral or objective point of view.

2. Consider body issues.

Where your body is not functioning at optimum level, this invites exploring new approaches to sleep, hydration, regular exercise, possible fitness programs and nutrition. If ingestion, digestion or elimination raise issues, exploring possible intolerances could be beneficial. Changing diet, exploring the nature of body consumption could alos lead to positive effects. 

3.  Address mindset.

When change is in the air, its important to have a mindset that is encouraging, supportive and reassuring. Change does not always happen as fast as part of you might like.  Patience is a virtue that comes through experiience. Every moment, your thoughts and feelings are directing every moment of your life.  

4.  Meditate on it.

Meditation is about savouring joy in your life, finding blessings wherever you are.  Its about allowing yourself to remember what it is to be in this moment, to find peace and tranquility or feel centred amidst external change. 

5. Engage in spiritual practices.

Many spiritual practices exist that promote clairity in other areas of life.  Dreamwork, soulwork, sound baths and alternative healing approaches can enable you to purify congested energy fields and truly see the light.

Journey of an Alchemist

Notice in hidden underground caves of dreams, most precious gems and insights emerge crystal clear. And in waking life, its only by descending into the abyss that we recall what it is to trust and surrender, rewire the brain, activate dormant systems, shift from fear to love. The sheer magnitude of what must be faced is reminds us anything dark or negative is a call to rise. Our innate capacity to reframe challenges builds character, resilience, births the alchemist or opens the golden flower within. As we forge a unique path through darkness, create lines of wisdom in our skin to mirror life's eroded walls, others also find their inner light

See Life in a Nutshell

Notice none of us is a stranger to the darkness, to challenges or adversity. We exist to make the unconscious, conscious, to face our version of dark, to bring it to light and see things as they are. This is the cultural metaphor of the Hero's Journey, quest for the Holy Grail, the blossoming of the thousand-petalled lotus.

Admittedly, experience is not always wonderful. We might find ourselves engaged in conflict, feeling rejected, abandonned, humilated, betrayed, experiencing injustice or other suffering. Yet, we thrive in unlikely conditions. We are like the phoenix, rising from the ashes as we grow conscious of wisdom of true nature.

Everyone of us is special. None of us is like anyone else. Solving our own mysteries, unveiling, materializing our gifts, translating those into service, is the point of this human experience. We move through layers of energy fields at our own pace, detect and perceive is based on expanding levels of consciousness.

Sense of Love is Changing

Notice we cannot simply show up half-heartedly and expect the world to show up, and reveal itself completely in all dimensions. The universe always has our back, yet what appears in our scope of awareness mirrors how truthful we are with ourselves.  That is, we cannot see what is vibrationally out-of-sync with us. When we do not fully accept all of self, we do not accept parts of reality, keep them from entering our perception and experience, postpone wholeness.

The depth of insight we have into self (why we do the things we do or not) shapes soul's evolution. If we only share glimpses of truth, do not validate all parts of ourself, stay ignorant of our dishonesty, we simply catch glimpses of wider realities. All feelings are essential to growth and any we avoid, suppress as shadows, limit our reality. We only experience wider realities to the degree we are willing to face and explore deeper parts of ourselves. This takes courage.

When unconscious, we do not change because we do not recognize anything needs to change. Until we bring light to our unconscious wounds and patterns, grow in our discernment, develop discipline and patience, we are not ready to accept responsibility for our own joy, happiness, peace and serenity. Thus, this cannot emerge in our direct experience. "Ah-ha" moments change everything.

To connect with something beyond ourselves allows everything to be as is, suddenly know nothing interferes with our happiness. It is everywhere, whether we experience it or not. By letting go of control, learning to trust and surrender, we recall what it is to love all parts of self, transmute energies other than love and integrate aspects of self we resist. Our sense of what love is, calls for love and messages about love, change as a reflection of expanding consciousness. It dawns as we change, the world around us changes. Wider realities emerge.
