Could it be possible that the Beach Boys of 1966 had a deeper understanding of Universal laws than most of us do in 2018? I mean, clearly their hit song Good Vibrations was about a girl–but that girl definitely knew how to put out some good vibes and attract the guys.

I have no idea how well versed the Beach Boys were in subjects like quantum physics or magnetic frequency, however, it’s clear that they knew a little something about the effects that good vibrations have on attraction and (in their words) “excitations”. In fact, whether they knew it or not–the Universal Law of Vibration is one of the most powerful laws impacting our lives in every single moment of our existence.

In simple terms, the Universal Law of Vibration states that every particle in the universe is in constant motion and carries energy within it. This law applies to everything from giant planets, stars and moons to the pencil on your desk and the chair under your butt. This isn’t just a bunch of new age woo-woo, this is actual science as there are high-powered microscopes that are able to see the vibrational energy of even solid objects. What’s more–not only do all objects vibrate, they vibrate at different frequencies and, thanks to the Law of Attraction (for an overview of all 12 Universal Laws, click here), objects with a high vibrational frequency are attracted to other items with high frequencies (the same is true for objects with low vibrational frequencies–they attract other low vibe objects/experiences). High vibe objects, experiences and emotions are those that elevate our lives to higher levels of joy, contentment, love and compassion, while low vibes will make us feel tired, stuck, lethargic and unenthused. If you’re curious as to how you’re vibing, here is a checklist to guide you…

You’re stuck in a low-vibe state if…

• You feel physically unwell/unfit
• You continually seem to make poor life choices
• You feel stuck in an unfulfilling existence
• Your relationships are dysfunctional
• You experience chronic pain
• You have no energy and feel a constant sense of lethargy
• Your finances are a wreck
• You have a difficult time trusting yourself or others
• You often experience feelings of resentment or jealousy
• You seek out unhealthy means of self-soothing (drugs, alcohol, sex, cigarettes, food, etc.)
• Your life lacks direction or purpose
• You watch a lot of violent multimedia
• You are needy or high maintenance–expecting others to take care of you because you are incapable of taking care of yourself
• You feel cooped up with little exposure to nature
• You struggle to feel or express gratitude

You’re enjoying a high-vibe state if…

• Smiling and laughing come easily to you
• Your relationships with others are joy-filled, meaningful and mutually beneficial
• You experience high levels of energy and physical vitality
• New opportunities often find their way to you–whether you consciously seek them out, or not
• You are able to delay gratification if doing so will lead to a better result in the long-run
• Other people are drawn to you
• You are highly creative and have lots of ideas that you’d like to pursue
• You feel that life is full of endless opportunity
• You feel divinely connected to your higher power
• You don’t take yourself too seriously
• You regularly exhibit a high level of self-discipline that serves you well
• Synchronicities and “happy accidents” happen for you on a regular basis
• You are filled with gratitude on a daily basis
• You can see the good in people and situations (even when others can’t)
• You have strong personal boundaries
• You feel as though your life has purpose and that you are following that purpose
• You regularly nurture yourself and others
• You enjoy regular time out in nature
• You are tuned in to your intuition

While these lists aren’t exhaustive, they should give you a pretty good idea as to how you are currently vibing in your life.  If your life isn’t what you long for it to be, changing your vibration is one of the quickest and most effective ways to turn things around.

If you are serious about living a life of purpose, contentment and joy, try these vibration raising techniques today and start noticing the (almost immediate) effect that they they have on your life experience. Then, once you start living your life in a more consistently high-vibe state, you’ll be able to build on that initial momentum and continue to expand your experience of good vibrations–just like the Beach Boys.

If some of this talk of vibrational energy sounds a little woo-woo for you, I get it. I was skeptical of the Law of Vibration too when I first heard of it, but then I experimented and the more I experimented, the more I became a believer.
