According to hermetic philosophy everything constantly moves and vibrates. After hundreds of years passed science caught up with the idea and confirmed. Now we now our world is composed of vibrating atoms. Depending on how fast something vibrates it could be visible or it could be on a level humans eyes cannot see. Just like our Wi-Fi connections. There they are yet we can't see them or nature spirits...Oh yeah those two examples matched so much...aha...sure...:) Welcome to my brain once again :) Speed of changing from one subject to another is less than half a second! :p

 Ok, now, I'm going back to our subject that everything moves nothing rests; slowest vibration rates are found in matter of course. Even ‘'immovable'' objects do vibrate. So what limits us from perceiving higher dimensions is the fact that the frequency rate of vibration is outside the range of human perception. Even colors can be used as an example; Red is the lowest vibrating color the human eye can see and violet is the highest color we can see. Same goes for musical notes and energies.

 The reason why I'm reminding this information because we tend to forget that also our thoughts, emotions, desires and mental states have their own vibrations. If you choose to raise your vibrations to higher by holding on to positive thoughts and emotions then you would also attract matching situations and experiences into your lives. You can even raise other people's vibrations by creating positive environments for them where they'll feel inspired and uplifted or just by smiling to them :)

 Once you start working vibrations you are automatically above the physical limitations. As witches we do actually play with vibrations a lot. Especially once we are in a ritual or performing a spell. We leave our daily selfs behind and focus on higher emotions like connecting with gods and nature. So you can actually control your moods and mental state by practice.

 Another advantage of raising is being able to receive clearer guidance from your higher self because, spirit guides, angels and other beings of light because they vibrate at a higher rate. For example the reason why we hold our rituals so we can meet our gods on a common ground by raising up while they are coming down to meet us.  By elevating your vibrational level you could have divine guidance around you on daily basis. I noticed there's no way I can hear my guides while I'm angry, feeling negative or fearful. First I have to calm down and switch my state to positive ones. I simply focus on ‘'happy thoughts''. They can be different for everybody. You could imagine kittens playing, your child's laughter or your most romantic memory. Anything which would makes you feel happy.

 One of the reasons why I wanted to talk about vibration is that it's on the base of manifesting. So if I'm gonna run around tell people you can manifest anything I better explain the details around it. In order to manifest something into your life your vibrations must match the vibrations of the thing you want. Like attracts like. So when you are full of hate and frustration you ain't gonna attract love into your lives. Same goes for hating money then expecting it to come to you. It's actually there already right in front of the door but it can't get into your life because you are vibrating on somewhere lower, busy hating your lives...

 Now the 64.000$ question; how the heck we can raise our vibrations? Since science doesn't talk about that part much (or I haven't heard it yet) we'll go with spiritual techniques. I'll only pass on the ones I'm using personally and benefiting the rest...Well, I haven't try them yet so I can't advice.

 First of all, purify your physical bodies. Now you know why I stop smoking, alcohol and all that jazz. Eat lots of veggies and buy your stuff organic if it's possible. Toxins would lower your vibration and your energy. Though I heard the same thing for meat but I just love it way too much don't think I can turn vegetarian yet. Well, I don't crave it anymore and I started thinking more of those poor animals who died for my food. So I might turn vegetarian actually... I'll keep thinking about it.

Speaking of physical bodies, I hate to accept but regular excerise helps, too. Try to find a fun way of exercising, something you'll like and want more of it. I know Whitewytch likes cycling and tennis, Alysia and her walks :) For Heather and me it's time to go back to Yoga. I always feel like I accomplish much more in Yoga like sports, breathing excercises and meditation :)

 Second tip; Stay positive. Be aware of your feelings and avoid feelings like envy, hate, anger and pessimism. It would also help avoiding people who are always ready to pick a fight, gossiping or lying...I believe more your vibrations goes higher less of those people will stay around you and you will attract people like yourselves. Also spot the sources of negative feelings in your life and distance yourselves from them. For example I don't watch news anymore and most of political talk shows. When I need to catch up I just go to an online news site and read what's going on. Nowadays only thing TV gives us fear and doom scenarios. I think it's time to step out of fear culture and see the world as it is; beautiful and full of potential. We spent so much time thinking of going to a better place while we are missing the value of the place we are in.

 Third option: Meditating! Please take this tip in its most general form since meditation can be practiced on many different ways. Don't beat yourself up to silence your mind and stress because you can't. Simply let your mind roam free and see what comes, if there's so much noise then listen to them see if they have anything to tell you because they'll notice you are listening this time :) Or vibrate on a candle flame. Go to your back yard and do some gardening...So many things can be used as meditative actions where you focus on raising your vibrations. That will happen automatically when you focus on certain subjects like reaching out to divine, thinking of heaven or divine love. You pick your favorite uplifting subject.

 And my favorite; Compassion! Help somebody. Do something good for another. Stop pitying and remind yourself that person has as power as anybody. Go remind them their power. Make them feel strong and able for it's the best way of helping somebody. Or just be the clown and give them joy. You don't even have to leave your house to help others nowadays. You have internet! :) You can do something different every week as much as possible. It can be donating money, baking cookies for somebody or anything you feel like giving to the world. You can also feel compassionate towards our nature and believe me, helping the environment is a good way to be friends with nature spirits, too :)

 Oh wow! This has been a longer blog than I indented, I better keep writing in smaller parts in the future. Basically I already told what I wanted to say at the first place. Be aware of yourself and what's around you. We are living in a dynamic universe full of surprises! You were lucky enough to incarnate as humans on Earth so why not make the best of your experience.

 So to help you uplift your spirit I decided to add some ''happy pictures'' for you guys :) :
