There is so much going on in the world right now that seems to need changing. On the world stage, there is war, famine, terrorism, political parties clashing. It’s scary to even turn on the news. Locally, there is still more to deal with—perhaps supplies needed at the town school, rising crime, failing infrastructure, questionable water quality and so much else.
So where do we start?
Raise the Water
Several years ago, I went to Arizona to see an enlightened American, David Hawkins speak. He said that we needed only to raise the level of the water and all ships would rise. I only recently learned that he borrowed the metaphor from a speech by John F. Kennedy where he said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” Kennedy was using it to explain an economic concept.
Hawkins explained that we did not need to tackle all of the things in the world. In fact, the context was startling for me. He said it in response to a woman asking what she could do about the starving in Africa. He said, “Nothing.” This was shocking. He went on to explain that the best thing we could do about anything amiss that we saw in the world was work on ourselves. We did not need to put lots of effort into going to each individual ship and trying to raise it. If we raised the level of the water, all of the ships would rise effortlessly.
You raise the level of the water by raising your own vibration. We are powerful creators when our vibration is high. Our power of attraction is highest when we are most aligned with the field, with Source. This is why positive affirmations work and why we are told to speak prayers with a grateful heart and an assumption that the request is already fulfilled. Our emotion is high, so our vibration is high.
Over time, things of a lower vibration cannot exist in a field of higher vibration. Truth is revealed, right ultimately prevails.
It’s also often difficult to know what is needed in a situation. In healing work, we recognize that despite our most intense desires for someone to heal, we don’t really know what is in their highest good. Sometimes someone’s pain or illness is the biggest catalyst toward good in their life. To take that away prematurely would actually threaten or delay their highest good. It might thwart the very thing their soul reincarnated to do. As healers, we are at our most powerful when we ask to align with the intention of our client, then, with compassion (a very high vibration), allow the energy to flow.
Change Your Vibration, Change the World
Here are some tips for changing the world through your vibration:
- Take responsibility for your vibration. Make a decision to be responsible for what you are creating in each moment. Understand that the law of attraction says you are creating all the time, even when you are angry, in a bad mood or don’t feel like creating. You are. Own it.
- Be vigilant about your vibration. If you don’t like or understand the word vibration in this context, change it to emotion. Be vigilant about how you are feeling. Your job is to be happy. Be in love—with everyone and everything. Find the thing to like, love or appreciate in all people and all As I was applying this concept years ago in my own life, I was stumped by a person I really did not like at all. I searched and searched for something I could find that was even tolerable for me. I finally realized that he truly loved his family. I hung onto this and affirmed it every time I was in his company. I therefore interacted with him from this higher perspective. I was amazed as our interactions became more positive and I found more things to respect about him.
- Question all that you think and believe. Re-evaluate everything. How does it make you feel when you think that thought or think about a belief? Does it still feel in alignment with your core? Why do you think and believe the way you do? Many of us respond and think the way we do because we have been taught to be that way. But what do you really feel? If it is in alignment with your spirit, it will feel good. You can think about something that on its face is negative, but you can still feel good and send out a positive vibration. For instance, if I see a story on the news about a car bombing, I go to that place of love in my heart that I can easily tap into now because I have worked to cultivate it and spent time there, and I will send that energy out, through me to all involved.
- Especially watch out for topics that are intentionally divisive. Politics is one of these. The two party political system in the United States puts us at odds. The country is pretty much split 50/50 on most hot-button political issues. This stops us from uniting to find a solution. Instead, we hunker down across party lines and fight. We would probably get more done if we were to focus on the middle ground and the values that we all believe in. Watch how your vibration changes during elections, discussions of race relations, and even while watching football games. How are you feeling? Is there a way to improve upon that? Be especially careful watching the news. The media’s job is to get us riled up so that we will go into fear, worry or anger, so we will keep watching. For that matter, be careful watching the weather, too, because the motivation is often the same. It’s not wrong to be informed, just manage your vibration while doing so.
- Know that the more sensitive you become, the more vigilance and work on your vibration may be required. Most of us are becoming more sensitive because the ascension energies we are dealing with continue to increase. We continue to get bombarded with coronal mass ejections from the sun and energy from the Earth herself and these are impacting us. We may wake up and find that we are jittery or sad for no reason at all. These are often the incoming energies impacting us. Just relax and let them flow and don’t put too much importance on them by attributing them to circumstances in your life. As you become more sensitive, you may find it is harder to be around certain people and their emotions. Be aware of this. It may be temporary. But, again, be responsible for your vibration and do what is needed to raise it.
- Meditate to raise your vibration. What would an Ascension Tips article be without me extolling the virtues of meditation? Meditation helps you to clear lower energies within you and also helps you to move into higher vibrational states. The more you meditate, the more you will maintain these states even when you are not meditating. Meditate even when you think it’s not working. The changes are slow and subtle and there really is no wrong way to meditate. Even when your mind is wandering or your body is fidgeting, you are still producing positive changes. The key is persistence. Continue any other spiritual practices you may have that help to calm you and put you in a place of love.
- Recognize that you do not always understand the reason behind what you are seeing. Sometimes things are worse before they get better. Things may need to get worse before those who are involved or those who need to get involved stand up and take their places. Things may not actually be bad. Don’t use what you are seeing to decide that this approach of raising your vibration is not working. Trust that Spirit and the powerful energies you are sending out are producing positive results. Things just need time to align. It is like a locker combination. You can be putting in all the right numbers, but the lock still will not open until the final number is in place.
- Get involved on other levels as you are called to do so. Get quiet and ask to be guided to where you can best assist. If you are acting out of fear, anger or hatred, you are bringing these energies to your cause and they will actually detract in the long run. Instead, be guided to where your gifts can best be used and act from the emotion of love. If you feel like you know where to go and what to do, but you check in and you are coming from anger (or another lower vibration emotion), see if you can shift to the higher principal involved and act from there. For instance, do not fight against the other side, “fight” for
Change your vibration; change the world.
