What is a Low Vibrating State?
And what you can do about it.
Many subtleties contribute to low emotional and vibratory states. You know you're in a low vibrating state by how you feel.
Here are some indicators that you are caught in a loop or are
entering a low vibratory state:
It feels difficult for you to get out of bed; if you feel lonely, unmotivated, stuck, stagnant, or inert, you have a desire to "zone out," escape or find yourself having obsessive, compulsive, repetitive thoughts. Think of a loop as a glitch in an operating system. You can work out some glitches more quickly while others keep spinning until the system is completely reset. A low vibrational state means you can't operate at your optimal capacity or your highest potential. The longer you remain in these lower states, the harder it is to get out of them.
These states can lead to apathy, depression, and on the extreme end, murder and suicide.
Some other signs of low vibrational states or being caught in a loop may show up as:
Binge-watching tv-shows
Scrolling endlessly through social media
Drinking alcohol, using substances, or partaking in any other activity to distract or numb
Uncomfortable emotions (like grief, fear, and anger (as rage) can cause you to move into a lower vibration if you don't move the emotions or stay with them only long enough to learn from them.
Remember,
feelings are messengers trying to communicate something to you.
Grief, fear, and anger are not low vibrating in and of themselves. However, when you stay too long in your emotions and become overwhelmed or consumed by them, it leads to a low vibratory state.
Confusing yourself with being the emotion may sound like,
"I am sad," "I am depressed."
"I am" statements are some of the most powerful statements you can make because you are affirming something to be true about yourself. You create your reality with every thought and word, spoken out loud or expressed within, so be selective about the words you choose.
On the flip side, those same uncomfortable emotions can be catalysts for significant change - grief into compassion, fear into bravery, and anger into courage. It all depends on one's vibrational state. So if you notice that you're getting pulled into a lower energetic vibration and displaying the stagnation I referred to - you have to take action to pull your vibration back up.
You can do things like:
Take a cold shower
Do Breath of Fire for 3-9 minutes (3 rounds at 3 minutes each 1-minute rest in between each set)
Dance to evocative music. Allow your emotions to flow. You are not trying to feel one feeling over another. You are trying to feel all of your feelings and are creating space for them to move through your dance and vocal expression.
Remember that what doesn't get expressed gets depressed.
Go for a run or do some dynamic, vigorous exercise that increases your heart rate and causes you to sweat.
Positive affirmations and visualization
Meditation (this is an advanced practice and can take longer to shift your state, so a guided meditation may be more beneficial initially)
