Picking Up Higher Frequency Thought Patterns
“My brain is only a receiver. In the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge and strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” –Nikola Tesla
I have good news and bad news. The good news is, your thoughts are not YOUR thoughts. The bad news is, your thoughts are not YOUR thoughts. Now this is good news because we’ve all been the recipient of one of those really strange demented thoughts that kind of scares us for a second because we’re like, “Did I REALLY just think that??” Well, yes, the thought happened, but lucky for you it was not actually your mind coming up with it. The reason this is bad news is because while our ego would like to claim and take ownership of all those really cool aha moments as if we came up with them completely on our own, most likely you didn’t. It’s probable that someone else somewhere has had that exact same thought or idea at some point. Now I say “probable” because there are rare occasions of “original” thought, as in the case of someone like Albert Einstein or someone that finds the theory behind a really complicated math equation, or physics discovery. So unless these are the types of things you are generating in your mind, it’s safe to say that your thoughts are not completely original. Carl Jung used the term “collective unconscious” to describe this vast collection of every single thought, idea, belief, etc… that any human being on the planet has ever had. And it is because there is this database, so to speak, that houses all thought forms that are and ever have been, that we are able to call upon knowledge and wisdom that may be floating around in this encyclopedia of thought forms. If we think of our brains like a receiver and transmitter, we can see that we can receive thoughts from the collective unconscious, and also we can transmit thoughts as well. You’ve probably picked up millions of “thoughts” from the people around you and they from you without ever even realizing it. Once we realize that we can “tune in” to thought patterns, just like a radio, we come to the question, “how do I pick up higher frequency, more productive, and positive thought patterns?” Well, that all depends on what station you’re on…
“You are the creator of your own experience. You live in a vibrational universe. You have control of the signal you emit.”-Abraham-Hicks
You may have heard by now that all matter (including our physical bodies) is just energy vibrating at a certain frequency. The higher our vibration is, the more we are in alignment with things like health, happiness and inner peace. When our vibration is lower we may experience more bouts of depression, anger, fearful thoughts and illness. Every thought form that comes into our minds is based purely in energy as well. Everything, is just energy at its lowest form. Energy always attracts like energy. Which means when we stay focused on negative, low-vibratory thought patterns, we attract more of the same. And vice versa with higher, more loving thought patterns. If we can think of our level of vibration as the “station” that we are tuned into, we see that the more we sit in stressful, negative, or dark thoughts and actually give them our attention, the more we will draw these types of thoughts to us. Which means, the one thing you probably try to do when you get a negative thought, which is try to get rid of it by either condemning the thought as “bad”, or forcing it out of your head by replacing it with another thought, is the one thing that actually keeps it coming back. If you’ve ever tried to NOT think about something, you realize… that is all you will think about! The point is not to ONLY have positive thoughts, because as we all know that is not always going to be possible. But the point is, to only give your conscious attention and beliefs to those thoughts that seem productive and pleasurable. The more we give THOSE thoughts our attention and belief, those are exactly the ones that will amplify. The more we sit in higher vibration more loving thoughts, we start listening to that “happy, loving radio station” which means we start picking up all thoughts that are aligned with that vibration station. If we come across a thought or thought pattern that seems fearful in nature or detrimental to our well-being… let it go. Have the thought. Accept it. Surrender to it and observe it without judging it (it wasn’t YOUR thought anyways, so what’s to judge?) The energy of acceptance keeps us in high vibration, while resisting, criticizing and judging ourselves or the thought lowers our vibration. We notice that when we stop BELEIVING the fearful thought patterns, they stop coming around so much.
When we become rooted in our true self, which is the awareness behind our thoughts rather than the thoughts themselves, we are more able to put space between us and our thoughts. Meditation is key in doing this, because it gives us a chance to not only be in solitude, away from distraction, but also gives us a chance to observe our predominant thought patterns from this place of pure awareness. We can only change our “station” when we are aware of what station we are even on to begin with. The act of raising our vibration proves to be a fruitful endeavor. Not only do we realize we become happier, and more rooted in our most authentic selves, but also that we naturally train our minds to see the good in situations. The mind will automatically start to extract what’s going “right” for us and what we can be grateful for, rather than immediately picking out the flaws in any given circumstance. High vibrations attract more high vibrations. Happiness attracts more happiness. Love attracts more love. Which sounds exactly like the station I want to be on… how about you?
