Learn to Vibrate Correctly: The Difference Between Frequency and Vibration
During a spiritual awakening, we become aware of our vibration. We recognize that our vibration affects our overall state, aids in our spiritual maturity, and has the power to attract like vibrations. Frequency, on the other hand, is misunderstood. We can even mistake frequency for vibration. Distinctly different, the two serve separate and complimentary purposes. They work together to aid us in manifestation and psychic protection. Understanding the difference empowers us in our spiritual growth, provides stability, and amplifies our power for manifestation.
The Spiritual Meaning of Frequency and Vibration
From a physics standpoint, frequency is the number of times an event or wave occurs in a specific amount of time. The oscillation of these waves is what we call vibration. So it’s the measurement of intervals from a waves oscillation. And a waves oscillation is what we call our vibration. This is why everyone thinks our frequency and our vibration are one and the same.
But in the metaphysical context frequency is no longer measuring the number of times a wave oscillates. Instead our frequency contains the totality of our awareness otherwise known as the totality of information stored inside the entire bandwidth of our energy field. Vibration is the physical manifestation of our resonant frequency, but it is not the totality of information inside our energy field.
Vibration will always be in flux with the ebbs and flow of life, in fact it is meant to oscillate, or ebb and flow for that very reason. Our vibration is designed to gain the information contained within the peaks and lows of life.
But what becomes integrated into our consciousness is ours to keep, it now becomes apart of our frequency.
To state it more clearly, vibration is moment-to-moment energetic feedback. When we tune into our energy to notice how we feel, we are checking in with our vibration. Vibration can be measured by our emotions, how we feel about ourselves and our reality. Vibration can also be determined by the level of thoughts we are able to access. Depending on your vibration, you may find yourself thinking disempowering or empowering thoughts. “I am stupid” vs “I am talented.”
Our vibration, by nature, is volatile. It can swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. It can also get stuck depending on our circumstances. This may feel concerning, as we want to manifest from a high vibratory state or keep our vibes high to attract similar vibes and maintain a state of energetic protection. Luckily, vibration is not the only factor.
Our frequency, unlike vibration, is not dependent on moment-to-moment feelings or the level of thoughts we are able to access. You can look at the difference between frequency and vibration in terms of finances where frequency acts more as a savings account of hard-earned awareness that is ours to keep, sustaining us in the long run and vibration as liquid funds that can be played with on day to day basis.
In its essence, frequency is how conscious we are and therefore how aware we are. The currency of frequency is awareness. The more aware we are of our reality, the more we understand the nature of our existence, and the higher we raise our awareness the higher our frequency becomes, adding to our spiritual savings.
Frequency Protects Us While We Grow
This is vital because another concern that arises during spiritual awakening is psychic protection. We can become distraught or distracted concerning ourselves with raising our vibration when, if we raise our frequency, we will ultimately feel more secure and protected, just like how a full savings account can help us feel more secure playing with our liquid funds.
Our frequency comes from spirit whereas vibration comes from our personality. Because of this, frequency is more consistent, regardless of our vibration. Frequency maintains the higher perspective, so even if you are feeling “low vibe” one day, a higher frequency perspective is still guiding your journey and soul’s purpose even when things feel misaligned. Another way to look at this is that, with vibration, some days we get to treat ourselves to a steak dinner, and some days you’ve gotta make your own sandwich. With the higher awareness of spirit, our frequency, that sandwich could be protecting us from lower frequencies we would expose ourselves to at the stake house or it could be giving us experience to start our own sandwich shop down the road that will increase our wealth.
This is because higher frequency brings with it finer, more intuitive manifestations. These manifestations make less sense to our ego which seeks tangible manifestations driven by emotional and materialistic desires. Manifestation that comes from raising our frequency has more to do with our purpose and the eternal view of our spiritual evolution.
This is great news! Because as we raise our frequency, we can still experience challenges, hardships, and struggles that may leave us wondering where we went wrong. However, if we can tune into our spiritual savings, we can be reassured through times of depression, anxiety, or misfortune that the alignment of our spirit is still working in our favor and bringing about these more intuitive manifestations.
Vibration, yes, is vital for manifestation, as our thoughts and emotions are key to bringing about what we want in the material world. Vibrational manifestation comes from our personality and what we are able to access in our moment-to-moment reality. Raising how we feel about ourselves and our reality will help us draw things into our lives faster and more powerfully. The problem is this can get us hyper-focused on raising our vibration at all costs without being willing to look at aspects of ourselves or our reality that make us feel uncomfortable or afraid. The fear of facing these shadows and the anxiety of getting caught up in maintaining high vibes then leads to strangling our vibration, lowering it in our desperation to raise it.
Additionally, when we become more sensitive to the energies within and around us, it is natural to desire protection, to want to fortify ourselves from lower energies and lower frequencies that exist. It may feel like raising our vibration is the way to do this, but it’s actually through raising our frequency that we create a buffer, one that will continue to protect us when we are asleep or distracted or, honestly, just too busy living our lives to be paranoid about constantly protecting ourselves.
The truth is that vibration is far too volatile to protect us. Vibration ebbs and flows and is meant to ebb and flow. Through the volatility of vibration, consciousness gains information contained within the highs and lows of life. What we integrate from those experiences of highs and lows informs our awareness, raises our consciousness, and becomes ours to keep. This integrated, informed awareness fortifies our spiritual reserves, raising our frequency.
This means that, even during a dark night of the soul, when our vibration does not feel good, we can still, not only be protected but raise our frequency through the experience of these lows that inform our awareness. In fact, it is often during these times of instability and darkness that our frequency is rising the most.
The awareness of our fluctuating experiences leads to psychic and spiritual discernment. Once that experience is transferred into our spiritual savings account, it becomes a force that works without the need to be consciously aware, like muscle memory.
As we raise our frequency we not only raise our automatic protection, we increase our ability to manifest regardless of how we feel from moment to moment. It’s important to allow vibration and frequency to work for us in their separate roles as liquid and saved energetic funds. When we focus only our liquid funds and forget to deepen our spiritual currency through awareness of ourselves and awareness of this world, we miss the mark, putting ourselves in a disadvantaged state for aligned manifestation.
Allowing the ebbs and flows of vibration to inform and raise our frequency empowers our spiritual evolution. The stability of frequency aids in the ability to relax into the fluxuations of vibration. When these two states of our being work together, we benefit from automated psychic protection as well as manifest from a more aligned place.
