What determines our frequency?

[0:00]Hey friends, it's me Erin and I want to talk to you about one of the most common questions I get from clients. So the idea is they come in and they say, well if everything is frequency and I have my own frequency, what is it that determines my actual frequency? And how do I raise that frequency so that I can attract something better for myself? Because remember, manifestation is about alignment, not magic, so you're just trying to align your frequency with the frequency of the thing that you think you want. And that's a great question. What makes up your frequency? Everything. All of the emotions that you feel make up your frequency. So when you feel an emotion that you don't allow yourself to process like grief, anger, frustration and you push it down, that vibration becomes part of your frequency. So now law of attraction has no choice but to show you things that reflect that frequency back to you or align with the frequency in your energy. So how do I raise my frequency? That's another good question. Raising your frequency is not all love and light, right? That's a common misconception and it's a form of spiritual bypassing. In order to raise your frequency on a permanent basis, you have to work through the things that are causing the lower vibrations to be stuck in your energy. So for example, if you have unprocessed grief, hanging out around your heart chakra, before you can over raise the overall vibration of your energy, you have to let go of that lower frequency that's kind of weighing you down. The imagery I like to use is like a hot air balloon with sandbags on it. You have to cut the sandbags in order to allow the balloon to rise, otherwise no matter how much good air you put in there, it's not going anywhere. Now we can temporarily raise our frequency really easily by doing anything that helps us to feel great in the moment. That feeling of joy and excitement, that is temporarily raising your frequency to be more in aligned with the better version of yourself, or the higher version, or whatever you want to call it. Sustaining that frequency is harder because that's where you have to deal with the stuff that you've been holding on to. That's where shadow work and inner child nourishment comes in handy, professional therapy, intuitive therapy, however you choose to identify it and work with it. It's important that you notice those things and deal with them, otherwise they're going to keep determining your frequency. And something that you'll notice is as you let go of those things that have been weighing down your frequency, the things that have been aligned with that lower vibrational version will start to sort of fall out or see itself out of your energy. And that comes in the form of habits, behaviors, and people. So if you have a friend that all they want to do is complain and you start working on yourself and giving up the idea of comparing yourself to other people, you may notice that that person just isn't coming around as much anymore. Not because you've done anything different, but because they're no longer resonant with where you are. And that is the natural byproduct of working on your vibration. Everything is energy. Everything has a frequency. It just depends on how fast the molecules are moving as to whether you perceive it as solid or not. So no, spirituality is not all love and light and good vibes only. It's about healing and recognizing, accepting and acknowledging those feelings that have been holding us down. And when you do that, you release them from your system, allowing your own natural frequency to sort of bump up to the surface like a cork on a fishing pole or fishing line. But it's up to you to do that inner work to sustain that higher frequency. By refilling that space with things that feel better rather than things that match the vibration you literally just let go of. And that's the long and short of it, friends.
