What Does It Really Mean to Raise Your Frequency?

Shadow + Spirit Entry #2

You’ve probably heard the phrase “raise your frequency” in spiritual or wellness circles—but what does it actually mean? Is it just another trend, or is there something deeper behind the idea?

Let’s break it down.


1. Everything is Energy—Including You

At a basic level, everything in the universe is made of energy, including your thoughts, emotions, and physical body. Science tells us that atoms are in constant motion, vibrating at different frequencies. When people say "raise your frequency," they’re usually referring to shifting your energetic vibration to a higher, lighter, or more harmonious state.

Think of it like tuning into a radio station. If you want to hear calm music, you don’t tune into static or heavy metal. You align your dial to the right frequency.


2. High vs. Low Frequency States

Low-frequency states are often associated with:

-Fear

-Shame

-Guilt

-Anger

-Hopelessness

High-frequency states align with:

-Love

-Joy

-Gratitude

-Peace

-Compassion

This isn’t about "toxic positivity" or avoiding hard emotions—it’s about cultivating awareness and learning how to move energy rather than staying stuck in it.


3. How Do You Raise Your Frequency?

It’s not about forcing yourself to be happy 24/7. Raising your frequency is about energetic hygiene, emotional truth, and self-connection. Here are a few ways to support a higher frequency:

-Shadow Work: Face and integrate your suppressed emotions rather than bypassing them.

-Sound + Frequency Healing: Use tools like Solfeggio frequencies, tuning forks, or singing bowls.

-Movement: Dance, yoga, or even a walk in nature moves stagnant energy.

-Reiki or Energy Work: Clears blocks and helps realign your energetic field.

-Meditation + Breathwork: Slows your brainwaves and reconnects you to your essence.

-Environment + Relationships: Surround yourself with people and spaces that nourish your spirit.


4. Raising Frequency Isn’t About Perfection

You don’t have to be “high vibe only” to be spiritual. In fact, true frequency healing begins when you acknowledge your lower frequencies and bring them into the light.

Shadow work is frequency work. Because when you stop suppressing, judging, or abandoning parts of yourself—you naturally rise.


5. Why It Matters

Your frequency influences:

-How you feel

-What you attract

-How you connect with others

-How you experience the world

Raising your frequency isn’t about escaping reality—it’s about tuning your energy to create more alignment, more clarity, and more possibility.

So, the next time you hear someone talk about raising their frequency, they’re really talking about coming home to themselves—clearing the static so their soul can shine through.
