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.

Drop into Kundalini meditation

The Kundalini Meditation is a dynamic form of meditation created by the famous Indian spiritual master Osho. He developed a series of meditations that involve music and movement, especially for the modern world in which we live where many people have difficulties to sit still and reach the depths of meditation. The Kundalini meditation is a 60 minutes practice with four different stages of 15 minutes each, accompanied by music which was originally composed for this meditation. The stages are shaking, dancing, standing or sitting in stillness and relaxing.  You can adjust it based on your body and individual situation.

The four stages of the Kundalini Meditation

First Stage – Shaking

In this first stage you stand and shake your body for 15 minutes. Why is shaking so beneficial? Animals shake their bodies as a natural response to release any stress from their bodies. Have you ever seen ducks fighting on a lake? They fight and quack loudly, but after a while they swim in opposite directions, shake their feathers and move on. We as humans tend to hold on to stress and this can cause physical, energetic or emotional blocks. When we learn again to shake, this can free up stuck energy and feel like a big relief! You let your body shake and become loose again. In Osho’s words anything that has become frozen or hard can be fluid again. Shaking for an extended time can really feel exhilarating as soon as you allow the shaking to happen naturally and feel energy moving within your body. It trains you to be more in your body and less up in your head.

Stage 2 – Dancing

The second stage is to dance just the way you like to move. Let yourself be inspired by the upbeat music and allow self-expression through movement. You don’t have to worry what other people may think. It is your own journey of feeling the body, the energy and celebrating it with a dance. You can keep your eyes open or closed during this stage.

Stage 3 – Standing or Sitting

In this stage you have the choice to either stand or sit down. From movement you come back to stillness. Your eyes will be closed and you are simply listening and observing – listening to the music and observing whatever is present on the outside and the inside. Practice being your own witness without getting too involved in your sensations, thoughts or emotions.

Stage 4 – Relaxation

In this last stage you lie down on the floor like with eyes closed and the body in stillness. The fourth stage is without music and is an integration phase where you rest and relax.

The benefits of active meditations

Usually we thing that meditation is sitting down in stillness only, but you can also come to a meditative state with movement practices. Osho emphasized that it is not enough to work with our minds only, but we need to include the body in our practices, to come back to our hearts and feel the energy at our very core. In our modern world we are so used to think, plan, structure, rationalize and accumulate knowledge, so most people find it difficult to meditate in the traditional manner, which is to experience inner silence by sitting in stillness on a meditation cushion. When you start a traditional meditation practice, you probably feel that your mind is getting noisier and the chatter in the head gets even louder when you try to find inner calmness and peace. The body might feel restless and you might experience some sort of discomfort when you sit for an extended time.

The Osho active meditations start with at least one phase of activity. This allows you to loosen up your body and free the mind. Afterwards, it will be much easier to move naturally from tension or stress into a deep state of stillness and relaxation. The Kundalini meditation allows you to reconnect to yourself and to come back to the here and now.

Any activity can become a meditation when we allow to be fully present in the moment. When you ask dedicated surfers or runners, they will tell you that their sport feels like meditation and they find a deep sense of fulfillment from it.

What is the Kundalini?

Kundalini is a primordial, creative energy that is mostly dormant within us. In ancient texts this energy is depicted as a coiled-up snake and upon awakening, the energy can move up along the spine. There is no one-size-fits-all method for awakening the Kundalini and its unfolding is very individual in divine timing. With certain practices like this Kundalini meditation or Kundalini Yoga we can awaken this creative energy within us. For some it might happen gradually, for others it can be a transformational, life changing experience. For sure, practices to awaken the Kundalini should not be taken lightly and they are recommended to do with the guidance of an experienced teacher.

After the Kundalini meditation you feel may more alive, get tingling sensations in your limbs or feel that more energy is moving inside your body. Universal energy can flow uninhibited when we free ourselves from blocks and conditioning that limit the access and flow of life force. When energy is flowing, we will then be able to fulfill our true potential and live a more authentic and meaningful life.

Equanimity is what you are

Notice the resistance that arises at the prospect of facing adversity. Sitting meditation in silence offers ideal conditions for preliminary practice, to develop tools to face what evokes discomfort, and yet, sitting as such is not the real thing. True meditation happens when you are amidst the action, the chaos, when you face impossible people, intense emotions, unavoidable situations. During such conditions, can you keep the mind in silence, solitude and peace? To do so, we must first raise awareness and stop attacking ourselves. Many of us have a mind split into a victim, rescuer and/or attacker for ourselves or "others". We may even change roles. Still, when we are fiercely equanimous, we do not perpetrate or yield to threats, do not cave at emotional manipulation or implications, remain unaffected from attacks and guilt-trips that come from our superego, our own unconscious. We dissolve it by refusing to ratify it. By calmly abiding, we see through the unreal. The ego mind attacks, would like us feel bad about ourselves, stuck in a spiral. The only way out of it is to stop being an ego self, be unaffected by desire or fear, pain or enjoyment. Our true practice is to come to view suffering as a mental exercise. Most of us are taught to fear death, pain and other challenges. Yet, to a Zen master, all are great blessings. The view is our enemies are our greatest gifts to evoke love, passion, forgiveness, self-empowerment in the realisation of the unity of all that is. They guide us to let go of the ego mind, that which would like to be in pain, to be in a state of inadequacy, guilt, shame, attacking or peaceless self -justification or self-reproach. These are all false relationships with the real. The Supreme Being is within us. Only through awareness and alignment with Soul can we claim this power. A guru cannot give it. Mantras or other spiritual practices do not give it. One must claim it and with the power of will, integrate it into our life. It happens when we are in a state of deep honesty and truthfulness with ourselves. If we allow it, our inner voice can sting us worse than a sword. Let us focus on remaining in unwavering stillness. Let us not react, but move instead into that state that dissolves into the pureness of our Being which is love. Let us follow our breath. Get into the mind of silent presence. This vital life force, or equanimity is what you are and it cannot be lost.

Access mind-blowing Realities

Notice the point of stillness of the mind is the origin of all space & time, the centre of the "forbidden fruit" (aka "apple" in Eden) is a simple 'physical' example of a torsion- field. Everything in the entire cosmoverse behaves like a torsion-field: a self-sustained, self-contained energy system the living aerodynamics of which always stems from its "zero-point". In Sanskrit, [“perfectly (sam)-composed/engineered (krit)”] this is called "nirvāna" and it means "coming to a stop", or "the point of stillness" or «cessation» (of the movement, turbulence or "spinning around" in this movement →∞ indicated by the infinity sign "8" on the side: which is simply the half-section of an apple; which is called "samsāra”: ="spinning around"). In mechanics and engineering this is called "rotor & stator" and it is the basics of an "engine" or "motor"—Which is by the way called "Pyramid" in Greek: pyros=raging fire (PIE paewr→"power"), mid=middle, so "fire or power in the middle"...(what our cars have!=a motor). No movement exists without a point of stillness, which IS its point of origin, or Source. This is basic quantum mechanics: that both the equation of the zero-point AND of its spinning (maths inside of which are all based on π, Phi,...) are superposed and entangled, or- simultaneous and non-exclusive. In this view, a gold mine of new openings and insights exists into this most fascinating zero-point porthole. It is key to parallel dimensions, time travel, hyperspace and accessing mind-blowing new realities.

Breathing exercise

Take a few moments to relax and focus on your breathing. Tune into the path of the breath (does it reach the lower, middle or upper chest or diaphragm-tummy area before the exhale?)

If possible sit crossed-legged on the floor.  If this is difficult, then imagine you are sitting cross-legged on the floor. Imagine energy flowing through the top of your head, down through the  limbs and torso of the body into the floor and back up and out your head.  Imagine the energy simultaneously flowing up from the floor through to the top of your head and back down. These are two simulataneous pathways of energy flow.

Imagine you are gently sitting cross-legged then floating up and up into the air until you are looking down on yourself and all that is happening around you.  It is an exercise in levitation that enables stepping back from what is happening inyoru life and the world around you. breath deeply into this refreshing new perspective.

Take a moment to focus on what is happening within.   Look down on your body and feel at peace as you float in the air.  This is more than a simple breathign exercise. It is a remidner you are not the body, not the mind, not the emotions, but far more. 

Now lift your right hand up in front of you and imagine you pause all the activity below. In that stillness, allow your mind to clear. Watch the energy flow out in front and beyond you. Feel it flow out of you in all directions.

Simply allow your mind to flow and tell you exactly what you need to know right now.

When ready,float back down. Be aware of the new perspective you gain.
