How to Tell What Your Vibration Is (and Why Your Nervous System Holds the Key)
How to Tell What Your Vibration Is
...and why your nervous system holds the key.
You’ve heard it before:
“Raise your vibration.”
“Manifest from a higher frequency.”
“You attract what you are.”
But how do you actually know what vibration you’re operating from?
It’s not just about being in a good mood or thinking positive thoughts.
Your vibration is not a feeling—it’s a frequency.
And one of the clearest ways to tune into it is through your nervous system.
💫 What Is Your Vibration, Really?
Your vibration is the energetic signature you carry.
It’s the felt sense of your presence—the signal you emit without saying a word.
It’s how your body, breath, thoughts, and emotions harmonize… or don’t.
And here’s the truth: you can’t fake it.
You can say affirmations. Light the candles. Envision your dream life.
But if your nervous system is locked in stress—tight, frozen, spinning—your energy will reflect that.
And the universe will respond to that signal, not the one you’re trying to send.
🧠 Your Nervous System: The Regulator of Frequency
Your nervous system is the bridge between your physical body and your energetic field.
It’s constantly scanning your environment for one thing:
Am I safe?
Your state of safety or stress becomes the quality of your vibration.
🔥 Fight or flight? Expect energy that feels sharp, rushed, urgent.
❄️ Freeze? Expect a numb, foggy, withdrawn frequency.
🌿 Regulated? You’ll radiate openness, ease, magnetism.
So if you’re unsure where you’re vibrating… start by asking:
What state is my nervous system in right now?
🌀 How to Feel Your Vibration in Real Time
You don’t need a crystal or a reading. Your body is already telling you.
Here’s how to listen:
1. Scan Your Body
Where is there tension? Numbness? Openness?
Is your heart clenched or relaxed? Your belly tight or soft?
Your body is a tuning fork for truth.
2. Notice Your Breath
Your breath mirrors your internal state.
Is it shallow, held, or uneven?
Or is it full, rhythmic, and flowing?
A regulated breath = a regulated energy field.
3. Observe Your Thoughts
Your thoughts influence your frequency—not by what you think, but by how you feel while thinking them.
Are you cycling through scarcity?
Are you trying to prove your worth?
Or is your inner dialogue rooted in trust, compassion, and curiosity?
4. Feel the Emotional Tone
Go deeper than the surface emotion.
Does your excitement feel anxious or grounded?
Does your sadness want to move or stay stuck?
Feelings aren’t good or bad—but the way they move holds clues.
🧘♀️ It’s Not About “High Vibes Only”
This isn’t about bypassing your pain or pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about being honest about where you are.
Because when you meet yourself there—with presence instead of pressure—your vibration naturally begins to shift.
✨ How to Tend to Your Vibration (By Regulating Your Nervous System)
To change your frequency, support your nervous system.
Here are some ways to begin:
Breathwork and nervous system-based yoga
Intuitive movement, dance, tai chi
Bodywork to release stored energy
Barefoot walks in nature
Crying. Laughing. Shaking. Feeling.
Sacred rest—yes, naps count
Chanting, singing, sound healing
Safe connection—or restorative solitude
Putting a hand on your heart and simply being
Your body knows what it needs. Your energy will follow.
💛 Final Whisper
You are not too late.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are energy in motion.
And the more gently and honestly you tend to that energy, the more clearly life responds to the truth of who you are.
So if you’re wondering where your vibration is—
Come back to your body.
Come back to your breath.
Come back home.
Your vibration is already speaking.

How Changing Your Self-Talk Transforms Your Reality & Awakens You
The Way We Talk to Ourselves Shapes Our Reality
Have you ever caught yourself saying something like, “I’m such an idiot,” or “I’ll never get this right”? It’s easy to brush off those little inner jabs, but they are far more powerful than we realize. The way we talk to ourselves—our inner dialogue—is the foundation upon which we build our self-worth, our perception of reality, and ultimately, the life we create.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re on a path of awakening. You’re beginning to see that there is more—more to yourself, more to life, more to the way things work beneath the surface. And one of the most transformative keys on this journey is learning how to change the way you talk to yourself.
The Power of Words
Words are not just sounds or thoughts. They carry energy. Every time we tell ourselves something, we are reinforcing a belief. And over time, those beliefs become the lens through which we see the world.
Imagine watering two different plants. One plant gets loving words: You are growing beautifully. You are strong and resilient. The other plant is told: You’re weak. You’re never going to bloom. Which plant thrives?
Now, replace the plants with yourself.
When we shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, something incredible happens: we start to see ourselves differently. We stop shrinking, stop doubting, stop closing off. Instead, we open. We expand. We begin to love ourselves in a way we never imagined possible. And that self-love? It changes everything.
How Inner Dialogue Creates Your Reality
The way you talk to yourself impacts:
Your emotions – Negative self-talk triggers stress and anxiety, while positive self-talk fosters peace and confidence.
Your actions – When you believe in yourself, you show up differently. You take risks, you trust yourself, you follow through.
Your relationships – The love and kindness you give to yourself set the tone for what you accept from others.
Your perception – If you tell yourself life is against you, you’ll only see obstacles. If you tell yourself life is happening for you, you’ll start noticing opportunities.
Reality bends to meet the beliefs we hold. If you want to create a more beautiful, abundant life, start with the words you use inside your mind.
The Smallest Shifts Make the Biggest Impact
The good news? You don’t need a complete personality overhaul to start seeing change. Even the tiniest shifts in the way you speak to yourself can create ripples that expand into every part of your life.
Here are a few small yet powerful changes you can start making today:
🔹 Instead of “I’m not good at this,” try “I’m still learning, and I’m getting better every day.”
🔹 Instead of “I always mess things up,” try “I learn from every experience, and I grow stronger because of it.”
🔹 Instead of “I don’t deserve love,” try “I am worthy of love exactly as I am.”
It’s not about lying to yourself—it’s about rewiring your mind to see the truth: you are capable, you are evolving, and you are worthy of love and greatness.
Seeing More: A Natural Part of Awakening
When you change the way you talk to yourself, your mind naturally begins to see more. You start to notice things you never noticed before—the beauty in the ordinary, the synchronicities in your life, the way everything is connected.
This is part of awakening.
Awakening isn’t just about spiritual knowledge—it’s about perception. It’s about shifting from a limited, self-critical mind to one that is open, curious, and deeply loving. The more you soften the way you speak to yourself, the more you see.
And when you see more, you realize something profound:
You are creating this.
Your thoughts, your words, your energy—all of it is shaping your reality.
A Simple Practice to Begin
Tonight, before you go to bed, place your hand on your heart. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and whisper to yourself:
"I am learning. I am growing. I am enough."
Feel the truth of those words. Let them sink in.
Because once you change the way you talk to yourself, you unlock a love for yourself deeper than you ever imagined. And from that love, you create a reality more beautiful than you ever thought possible.
If you’ve read this far, you are already on this path. Keep going. Keep shifting. Keep opening.
A whole new way of seeing—and being—is waiting for you.
