You’re standing at a threshold... You know deep down that you want more: a richer quality of life, more light, more ease, to trust in all of this. You see it in others, you feel the pull of their energy, and you’re drawn in.
This is a beautiful place to start. And the secret? You are already tuning in, because your field, your energy, is always communicating. What you surround yourself with, who you allow into your radius, and how you respond to them matters more than you think.
Let’s walk through this invitation: to be around those who lift you, to choose your field with greater awareness, to raise your own vibration on purpose.
Understand the fundamentals: frequency, vibration & social fields
In the yogic/Ayurvedic worldview, everything is vibration. The body, mind, subtle energy, spirit - all are different densities of the same.
“The human being consists of three bodies: the physical body, the subtle or astral body, and the causal or karmic body. Each body is an energetic field of different densities that vibrate at different frequencies...”
- Dr. Marc Halpern author of Principles of Ayurvedic Medicine
In a more modern way of saying: you are a vibrational being. Your thoughts, emotions, and associations carry a frequency. The concept of “raising vibration” essentially means lifting the quality of that subtle energy and the field you carry.
And who you bring into your field matters, because we unconsciously sync. The phenomenon of emotional contagion (where you pick up moods, tensions, expressions from those around you) is well documented.
One review explains: “Emotional contagion can be triggered… by observing other people’s behavior in direct and indirect interactions.”
In other words: even when you’re not fully aware, the energy of others around you is influencing your internal state.
Therefore: being in frequency with others you’re drawn to (those whose energy you admire) is a potent pathway upward.
Why it’s easier to get pulled down than lifted up
Here’s the delicate truth: reaching upward (into lighter vibration) requires intentionality. Staying in the default, comfortable place often means staying in lower-density vibration: the familiar thoughts, the reactivity, the habitual comforts. Those are easier because they don’t demand change.
By contrast: high vibration demands more capacity. More willingness to feel the edges. More willingness to stretch beyond what you already know to be true. More attention.
The same mechanisms that allow you to be pulled down apply to being lifted - except lifting requires you to choose. Because your mirror, your group, your field are always influencing you. In fact, neuroscientific studies show a process of synchrony in brain activity between people in emotional states together.
If you’re simply surrounded by folks who carry dense vibration (heavy fear, small-thinking, stuck patterns, blame-game), the path downward is nearly effortless. But upward is an act of aligning - matching your field consciously to those higher-frequency energies.
Awareness & choice: from reaction to response
If you’re ready to shift your frequency, one of the first steps is noticing: what is your automatic response. In that moment when someone invites you into conversation, challenge, idea, when a thought arises - what is your knee-jerk? Do you contract, react, shut down, shrink? Or do you pause and ask: If I were my highest self right now, how would I respond?
That pause makes all the difference. The yogic path teaches us to become the watcher. You observe sensations, thoughts, emotions - and then you choose. This is how you begin to open and orient yourself toward the “being you are being called to.”
In Ayurvedic/Yoga traditions you might frame this as maintaining sattva (clarity, lightness) rather than being dominated by tamas (heaviness, inertia) or rajas (restlessness, agitation). The field you carry becomes more refined. You become more present to your vibration, less reactive to the field around you.
When you are with people who hold a higher frequency, these actions become easier because you have a model. You’re absorbing not just their words, but their ease, their rhythm, their way of being.
Everything is available — but it requires capacity
Here is the kind, loving truth I'd like to share: everything you desire is already available. The abundant life, the energy, the ease, the joy, the clarity - it’s there. It’s always been there. Here. But to receive it you need the capacity. And that sometimes means: being comfortable being uncomfortable.
Because you will come face-to-face with parts of yourself you’d rather ignore: the shadow qualities, the beliefs you carry that you’re “less than”, the patterns of staying "safe", small, hidden. Being human means carrying both the light and the shadow. Being divinely human means you honor both. You honor the density of earth-life (householder, mother, creator) and you remember your soul’s call to shine.
This is why being in frequency with people who already know their own frequency matters so much. You need companions (not perfect ones, but conscious ones) who can hold space for you, who can walk with you through both comfort and edge.
Ask yourself: Who draws me in? Are they drawing me down (into contraction, heaviness, old stories) or uplifting me (into possibility, expansion, grace)? Because this choice affects not only the quality of your days, but the very frequency you carry.
Practical practices: elevating your field
Here are some grounded practices (yogic/Ayurvedic + neuroscience-inspired) to begin shifting your field upward:
- Breathwork & meditation: According to vibrational-energy teachings, deep rhythmic breathing supports calming of the nervous system and shifting of your energy. Start your day with 5 minutes of slow inhalation/exhalation, watching the quality of your mind and body.
- Mindful association: Choose 2–3 people whose energy you admire. Observe how they move in the world, whom they surround themselves with, how they respond to challenge. Notice what you absorb.
- Pause before response: The next time you feel triggered or comfortable and stuck, pause. Notice your body, notice your immediate urge. Then ask: If I were operating from my highest self right now, what would I say, what would I do?
- Sound + Yoga + Ayurvedic vibration practices: In Ayurveda and yoga, sound (mantra) and subtle energy alignment (chakras) are alive with meaning. Practices such as chanting the mantra “OM,” using sound-bowls, or simply moving your body in slow yoga asana flow support aligning your energetic field.
- Nature + grounding: Immersion in nature, walking barefoot, being in green space - all amplify higher vibration and reconnect you to rhythm beyond busy mind.
- Shadow work with support: Create a space (journal, therapist, circle) to meet and honor your shadow. This builds the capacity to stretch into new vibration without collapsing.
You are exactly in the right place and right on time. Feeling the pull toward more: more light, more freedom, more expansive connection. And yes, it will require courage. It will require you to lean into the uncomfortable for a moment before you emerge into ease.
Here’s your invitation: find your frequency-holders. Let their light call yours. Then lean into practices that support you to match them - not by imitation, but by true resonance. You are not copying; you are remembering. You are stepping into who you are being called to be.
When you commit to being in frequency with those who uplift you, you honor your soul's calling, you shift your vibration, and you carry not just an energy, but a field that invites more of life’s richness.
So ask yourself today:
- Who around me lifts me?
- Where am I unconsciously absorbing heaviness?
- What one small practice can I engage in today to raise my vibration and align with those I’m drawn to?
Your field is alive. Your energy matters. You are worthy of the quality of life you see and desire. And the frequency you walk in will reveal the quality of life you live.
