These days, with unusual chaos and uncertainty, it is becoming obvious that keeping a high vibration is requirement for thriving at spiritual, mental and physical level.
High vibration is a natural state when you are connected to your core and essence (knowing self). This usually requires regularly sitting in silence and observing your thoughts.
Imagine you are watching a movie. It maybe a scary and upsetting. Maybe there are some events portrayed that are not fair.
You are watching the movie, but it does not need to become your reality and allowing the movie to zap your life force.
The movie will end sooner or later. The residual impact on you is very crucial.
It is like type of food you choose to eat. It may have a lasting impact on you.
Does spending your energy and attention on that movie serve you?
Some people get a bag of popcorn and watch the movie. Some people watch the movie and complain how disgusting it is.
Some people walk away from watching the movie in the middle or do not get engaged in watching it at all.
That ‘right’ choice (in the moment) comes from levels of self-awareness.
Every day we engage in many movies with different actors at home or outside home. These movies will have different outcomes depending on our quality of interactions and our state of being.
Imagine you observe somebody drops a trash on the floor of a nature trail.
Definitely, it is something irresponsible to do. You also do not know state of mind of that person.
You, as nature lover, are correct if you want to fix the situation.
Your choices may be:
- You may go and confront the person; lecture them on how irresponsible they are (how good you are indirectly).
- You may decide to ignore the situation, walk away, hope someone else will deal with it.
- You may decide to pick up the trash and move on.
All the above three options maybe the correct thing to do depending on level of your awareness.
What are the key question to ask in such a situation?
- What is my state of being? Loving? Agitated?
- What is my end goal?
- What action(s) keep my vibration high?
- What does my heart say?
Lately, I have observed that I have given options of being right or keeping my vibration high.
At first, it is very difficult to allow someone keep doing something ‘unfair’, ‘wrong’ or ‘intentional’ and do not engage them.
Usually many of such things are trivial with lots of unresolved charges within us (toilet seat, lane change, gossip, blame …).
The ultimate question is to ask: if I engage in a certain way, how will my vibration be impacted?

I remember one time waiting for the ferry at Aransas Pass after a day on the beach. The fellow in the car ahead of me, emptied his ashtray onto the roadway along with paper and other trash in his car. I got out of our car and confronted him. Told him that was the wrong thing to do. There were slogans on TV, "Don't Mess with Texas."
I remember his lame reply, "This is my beach! I come here all the time!" As if that justified his action.
When I got back to the car my ex-wife and stepdaughter were hysterical. They were so afraid that I would get hurt or they would get hurt by my confrontation. That wasn't the only time that I intervened. But I never had a violent response in return. Usually just a lot of hot air of being caught doing the wrong thing.
When my vibration gets high it is usually because of automatic dysreflexia, high blood pressure, spasming limbs and profuse sweating. Try to avoid it if I can. ;-)
