Can you FEEL a higher vibration?

[Matt P]

This might be a rookie question but here goes...I've never asked this to anyone.
What does it feel like / How can you tell if you're raising your vibration?
I'm wondering if I have had a taste.
You know that feeling when you have an ah ha moment with something significant or a feeling or doing of pure love and you get all tingly all over? For me, my entire body feels like goose bumps even though there are no bumps. I feel like my body is buzzing and I am in a state of pure joy. I'm wondering if I'm experiencing a higher vibration or if this is just a natural physical response to an intense emotion. I've also noticed that when this happens and I really focus on the thought that created the feeling, I can prolong the full body tingly sensation for a minute or so. But I can't maintain it. It goes off and on until the moment has passed. I'm wondering if the tingly buzz is what enlightenment is supposed to feel like?
On two very specific occasions years ago, while I was experiencing this sensation I happened to focus on the question of if I was source and I got blasted with such an intense feeling that I got scared and everything stopped immediately. Words are so limiting here but for just a split second I felt an immense pressure or responsibility of the weight of everything I was a part of and then it vanished. Like I wasn't ready to ask such questions or experience the answer. It was too big.
As amazing as this feeling has been, I'm wondering if this is the goal....to try to maintain this "buzz" for as long as possible. Is this even possible? I feel a little silly. Am I on to something?
Thoughts? Experiences? Craziness?

it all hinges on your thinking ...

This is a good question to ask of your higher self. Do you have a good relationship with your body? Do you talk to your body? Do you meditate regularly? Have you learned how to listen to and hear your higher self? Your feeling tingly and a buzzing sensation could be different things including kundalini.

Interesting Question! Sounds as if an outside source, which is at a higher vibration, allowed/wanted you to experience it. As it is not your energy that is producing it, you will not maintain it because your normal function is not yet grounded in the higher vibration.

But, you’re getting there. You might say this is a preview.

You can increase your vibration consciously up to a point but most people don’t believe it or even try it.

Years ago, while I was in the work force, I tried an experiment. One morning as I went to work I decided as I walked through the door that I would increase my vibration to the point that no one would see me. Only one person saw me walk though the door from outside the office. It just happened that I had been reading on increasing my vibration the night before.

I went to my desk, sat down and started work. Several people walked by me during the next hour, including the boss. About an hour after I arrived he called me on the carpet wanting to know why I was an hour late and where I’d been. He said I wasn’t at my desk. I told him I was and had been working on a project which I showed him.

Several co-workers asked me later that day where I was since I wasn’t at my desk. So… what actually happened I don’t know. The only thing I’m sure of is that a had a conscious thought to do this as I entered the building. Did it work? Why didn’t anyone see me for an hour???

I’ve also had the feelings of pure love that were overwhelming for a brief period and then disappeared. What this is all about I don’t know. I didn’t have any buzzing or tingling sensation. I only felt that I went far beyond what I would normally feel emotionally for a brief period.

I do believe that we are all on a journey to a higher dimension and what I’ve experienced were just snippets of what is coming.

Hope this makes sense.

I think I have a pretty good relationship with my body. I don't feel that I talk to it but I listen. I do not meditate regularly, unfortunately. I feel like I do a form of meditation while I work because I get really focused in on the moment and what I'm doing and don't talk or do anything else while I'm doing it. This is related to my question. I am a carpenter and so many times during a project things come together so unexpectedly well that it's obvious it's meant to be and when I experience those moments and have those realizations, I get the feeling I mentioned. This is just one example.
I do frequently try to listen to my higher self and feel I have molded my life experience towards this but I still feel like an amateur when it comes to spirituality. Just wondering if this tingly buzz is a clue to what I should be feeling more of.
Perhaps it's asking too much but I would love to hear more of how this may have been kundalini.
I appreciate the input.

That's a great story JimM. Thanks so much. Nice to see another Kentuckian, too!

You are slowly becoming aware of your sensory abilities. As you pay attention to them they will open up to you more. Accept them and they will become your self knowledge or intuition.

Peace!

I ran across this a while back, and is certainly food for though. I have no idea how on track this information is, but I can say, I have many of the symptoms listed.

Hello Matt. :)

In my experience; these symptoms you describe can be a bodily reflection and translation of an increase in vibration. Increasing vibration and applying a higher vibrational pattern kan feel many ways though. During the process of letting go of lower vibrations, of solidity, can feel very stale while you integrate a higher energy. After the process is done there can be a sensation of relief, peace, joy, love and so on.
From my perspective there really isn't a goal in the sense you mean it; life is meaningless. What you experience right here and now is the reason, the motivation and were your pure being has brought you. Enlightenment is about realizing your nature as Spirit and consciousness and to let go of the ideas of smallness and the experience of being a victim of the reality. In an enlightened state you will not experience something outside of you, but rather you will know that everything happens within your own consciousness rather than outside of it. This is were humanity in my reality is heading; to a enlightened experience of life.
To summarize; the goal is the process and the experience you have right now. The goal is always found here and now, not in some distant future. :)

Hope this make sense. Much love to yah. :)

In the beginning there were flashes of ultimate joy, peace and love. I felt like I had arrived to gates of my spiritual home. Accompanied with telepathy, remote viewing and ability to see predictive dreams. Crazy amounts of numbers like 1111 and 2222. All this lasted maybe few months, except numbers that are still shown for reason or another.

Then, during 2013, the immense sensations started to fade away, occuring more and nore rarely. Last time I felt like it last October. I still can feel the connection to the Source, but it is more Sun light these days: Feels good always but some days it is milder thru the clouds. I can still tap into the divine force via meditation, but the power can be so strong that I have had sessions where it felt almost too strong and I had to step back. It feels like sweet electricity and power would run from my Crown Chakra to lower chakras.

[wnlight]

Matt, my dowsing tells me that you feel the growing conscious connection between your body and your higher self via your crown chakra. Let me ask you some questions to better understand your situation. Have you ever had a sudden thought to meditate soon? Have you ever had a very strong thought to stop doing something? Have you learned to cure any ailments of your own body by thought? That might be to remove a wart, clear a pain, or stop a cold. When you listen to your body, what do you hear? Maybe a change in diet or exercise? If you are not hearing anything, then I suggest you meditate more regularly. Until you get more familiar with meditation, do it away from work, and preferably always at the same quiet place and time.

For me, kundalini is many sparks of fire rising upward and outward from my spine but spreading over large parts of my body that are difficult to withstand. Sometimes is is quite unbearable. There is heat that lasts after the sparks are gone. Some describe it as an electrical current, but in years past I have had true electrical currents of various voltages pass though my body. This is different. (My guardian angel has stubbornly kept me alive from the age of five on.) The kundalini experience is at different times. I might be in bed, or out shopping, visiting or quietly reading. It has gotten stronger and more frequent over the last month. My dowsing tells me that it is kundalini reworking my body, and not to worry.

There was a time when I was first learning how to meditate, and how to process the clearing of the negative energies from within, and something rather sudden, and shocking happened. I was sitting on a small plastic step stool in the lotus, as I was working my hands over, and around my extremities just before taking the energy like an absorbtion, and mashing it into a small ball, and in doing so my hands and arms began to shake involuntarily almost quake like. Before sending it off back to Gaia to do something positive with it to recycle it, at the moment of release when I had pushed the energy outwards in a thrusting motion, the step stool had snapped in half beneath me. I fell to the floor below me in a state of what the F just happened? I looked at the step stool, and noticed it was perfectly broken into two equal parts. What had happened was rather extraordinary as I sat on the ground in disbelief, all I could do was laugh and say "Wow, now that was a trip!"

There was another time, when I had experienced what one would call telekinesis, that had happened with a set of dice I was messing around with. I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be something if I could roll these dice and make them land on whatever I wanted them to?" So, I gave it a shot... I pictured the dot arrangement of each die in my mind of random numbers, 2 and 5, rolled them and each one had landed in the order from the first die then the next, a 2 and 5. Then I tried 6 and 5, again the same thing happened, then 1 and 4, and again it happened. As this was going on the excitement kept growing like "No way, is this happening?" Over, and over, with more random sets of numbers, with the dot configurations passing rapidly through my mind, this continued to happen from what I recall 11 times before I just sat there and said, "Holy crap, this is unf*cking believeable!"
So, I guess you can say that I have been feeling that sort of energy for quite some time now since around 1993.

I do not have the answer but the level of your dreams (when you sleep) might be a good indication of your current vibration level.
I have noticed an increase on dreaming-awareness as well as better stories plot this year comparing to others in the past.

[Wind]

I have occasionally had those moments of bliss and ecstasy, often they are induced by melodical music... But coming back from that higher state of flow and awarness feels a bit sad because then I am back on the mud again here. I have not experienced those states that many times during this year, they mostly happened last year and in the year 2012. I think that they are indeed glimpses of enlightenment and higher vibration, which is unconditional love. Here are good quotes from Paul Brunton (http://paulbruntondailynote.se/page3.php?setLang=en) regarding the matter:

"There is hope for the seeker who wishes to recapture the joys of a past mystical experience. But the experience may be regained in a different form. The emotional excitement that accompanied its earlier phases is more likely to be balanced--as it should be--by greater intellectual understanding of what is happening and how to control it.

If the glimpse is not to remain an isolated event, he must try to put less of his mind on himself and more on the Overself, less into emotional reactions to it and more into pure contemplation of it.

The inexperienced and the unbalanced may measure spiritual progress in terms of emotional ecstasy or meditational vision, but the mature and wise will measure it in terms of character--its nobility, its rounded development, and its purity."

[The Truth Is In There]

when you raise your vibration you create more coherence in your various bodies. this increased order improves the connection between these bodies and eventually leads to having certain abilities that most humans don't have yet. they're the natural abilities of the higher bodies - astral, mental, causal. bliss increases the higher you get from the mental upwards. it takes many lifetimes of work to get there, some of it has to be repeated with every new set of physical, astral and mental bodies but it gets easier every time. positive thoughts and feelings will increase the vibration naturally because they create coherence. negative ones will do the opposite. you can go with the feeling aspect - high vibration always feels good, low vibration just feels off or bad although the actual sensations in the physical body or chakras differ from person to person and from instance to instance.

[Matt P]

You are all fantastic. I can't express enough how thankful I am for your thoughts and experiences.

Matt,

I believe that focusing on the task at hand and staying in the moment is a really effective form of meditation. You say that you feel like a amateur when it come to spirituality, well sir, I disagree with you. You have always exuded a wonderful spirituality in your posts. You feel fresh and honest to me. In my experience the more I intellectualize spirituality the farther I get from it. Anyway Matt, you are a real pleasure...

Or not thinking at all :)

In my experience, vibratory frequency is like a pendulum. One can experience a great shift (increasing and decreasing) in the vibration, just as one can cause great swings in the pendulum. In both cases, the shifts/swings are both followed by inversely momentous shifts/swings, and are ultimately temporary and non-lasting; the pendulum and the vibration do not tend to maintain severe or drastic changes, despite the intentions and practices of the individual.

A true and lasting shift will be gradual, minimally incremental, and almost imperceptible. One may consciously 'know' that they are making progress, and there might be some form of minute indication of such, but the magnitude of the change will be of a ratio to the exisiting vibration/swing. Hypothetically speaking, if one is maintaining an angle of 30 degrees of swing on a pendulum, the addition of 1 degree will be 1/31-1/30 of an increase (roughly speaking); to maintain a 30 degree swing requires exertion, and to increase that swing to 31 degrees requires an increase of exertion, but the increase will be negligible compared to the existing load.

Compare simple weights; a 31 lb dumbell is only slightly more difficult than a 30 lb dumbell, but relatively easy to manage in transition. A person trying to go from 30 lbs to 60 lbs however may have some difficulty in either doing so or maintaining the same level of intensity; I am not saying exceptions don't exist, nor am I saying it is impossible to do, just that (in a metaphorical and physiological sense) it is somewhat ill advised.

In a roundabout way - and in response to your OP question - my advise is that the vibrational shift that one 'feels' is less lasting than the vibrational shift that one 'doesn't' feel. Two steps forward followed by one step back is the same net gain as one step forward, but requires much more effort, time, and resources (whether literal or technical) for the former than with the latter.

Moreover - and again referencing the pendulum metaphor - if one were to increase the swing significantly, there is the reactive back-swing to contend with; when one pushes or pulls a pendulum there is a consequential motion directly proportionate to the initial change in momentum. Stability necessitates counter-active force proportionate to the force applied to cause the change, which could result in anywhere from a slight expenditure of force (in case of slight change) to an exponential expenditure of force (in case of an exponential change); the slighter the change, the slighter the force required to maintain it.

So ultimately, yes one can feel a higher vibration, but these are not the ones that one should concern themselves with IMO. One is better suited to finding and maintaining a discipline that will result in imperceptible and gradual increases in vibration over time, assuming one wishes to maintain those increases.

Individual results may vary.
