Your Unique Energy Signature or Vibration

“Healing” refers to the awakening of natural self-organizing processes embedded in our DNA.
One facet of healing relates to our energy body, our unique vibration, and resonance and dissonance.

Your Energy Signature

Our energy bodies vibrate at a frequency that is reflective of our own unique being. This frequency is called our energy signature or our unique vibration. Within that signature or vibration, we vibrate higher or lower in frequency based upon our inner and outer environment.

When you consider unconditional love being at a very high frequency and fear at a very low frequency, you can see how your mental and emotional selves impact your overall vibration.

How We Read Energy

We read the energy of others all of the time. You may not notice that you are reading energy because the qualities of energy are generally subtle and our reading is typically undertaken at a subconscious level.

You are bringing awareness to the quality of another’s energy when you feel drawn to another person or feel in sync with them. Similarly, you are bringing awareness to the quality of another’s energy when you feel discordant with them or you feel the clashing of another's presence with yours.

Pets are more obvious in their energy assessments. If you have a pet, surely you have had visible evidence of their reading energy.  They may be drawn to another human or they may put out a warning to one whose energy does not vibe with theirs. When you see your pet reading or responding to energy, allow their behavior to remind you to tune in more consciously to the way you read energy.

Resonance

We may think of resonance as a quality of music. The finest musical instruments are said to have a high degree of resonance because they produce additional vibrations and echoes of the original sound.  The additional vibrations enrich and amplify the original vibration. For example, violins made by the Italian masters Stradivari have such a unique and high quality of resonance that it can not be precisely duplicated by other violin makers. The quality of the resonance itself starts the energy in the room buzzing.  

The Principal of Resonance

The Principal of Resonance holds that like vibrations increase the amplitude of each other and unlike vibrations decrease the amplitude of each other. When one thing vibrates in harmony with another the vibrations become amplified. 

This principal of resonance applies far beyond the sound that emanates from musical instruments. The principal of resonance is a rule of physics that applies to all things. That is because all things, from rocks, to trees, to humans are made of energy and are vibrating.

Dissonance is the polarity to resonance.  Vibrations that don’t resonate with each other lower the frequency of both vibrations.

Physics & Energy Medicine

When physicists use the word “vibration” they are referring to the movement of particles and the way that movement creates sound waves. Energy medicine practitioners use the word “vibration” to describe pranic energy or chi moving through the body. Vibrations may contribute to the removal of blockages in our energy channels and increase the free flow of energy in areas where energy is lacking. The movement of energy awakens the natural self-organizing processes embedded in our DNA, a process known as healing.

When surrounded by like higher vibrations we are energized.

Mariann, a history professor,  attended a long academic conference. On the last day she was beyond ready to head out the door and go home.  She considered sliding out the back exit and missing the last presentation. Something inside Mariann urged her to stay. “It’s just another hour,” she thought while wishing she hadn’t turned down the opportunity to grab a cappuccino after lunch. What came next was unexpected. The last speaker seemed to be speaking directly to her. Mariann felt the speaker sounded like herself in her own mind.  Mariann later said that the speaker resonated strongly with her.  She had described experiences and feelings that Mariann could relate to. Listening to the presentation, Mariann felt her own energy amplifying. Before she knew it the presentation ended. Mariann purchased the speaker’s book on the way out wanting the good vibrations she experienced during the presentation to continue.

When surrounded by lower vibrations we feel drained.

After an afternoon with her mother-in-law, Stacy always feels drained. Her mother-in-law has a habit of sharing her feelings that she is being taken for granted and is unappreciated. The mother-in-law openly shares her fear that she gives so much to everyone else in the family that she is going to end up having a nervous break-down.  Stacy volunteers to do some of the tasks her mother-in-law undertakes, but her offers are never accepted.  When Stacy encourages her mother-in-law to take care of herself, her mother-in-law claims that she could not possibly do that and that everything would fall apart if she were not there to fix it. Lately, Stacy has been avoiding her mother-in-law because regardless of how great Stacy’s day had been prior to the meeting, after the get-together with her mother-in-law, Stacy felt drained.

In both resonance and dissonance, the cumulative effect of the energies is greater than the sum of the individual energies. This principle of ‘energetic resonance’ is magnetic in its effect. The emitted energies, whether emotional or otherwise, draw to themselves corresponding forces in the environment, The joining of energies creates a synergy that amplifies the energy of the two individuals.  This joining of energies and the resulting amplification or lowering may be at play when we are speaking of a partnership, a group of individuals, a family, a community, or a larger collective of people.

The Principal of Resonance in Relationship

To raise our vibration we may seek to meet others with whom we most deeply resonate in a positive way. The principle of resonance enables us to draw to ourselves that which has a common vibrational frequency.  To meet these others, we must first activate and send forth in ourselves the soul qualities that we wish to share and amplify. Once we activate and send forth the energies we are seeking, we draw these like others into our energetic orbit.

What about the idea that opposites attract in romantic relationships?

The tenet that opposites attract is a facet of the Principal of Resonance.  In relationships in which certain qualities are polarized, one has chosen to amplify a particular quality within the self that has gone into dormancy or recession, and for this reason chooses a partner who will draw that quality out of oneself. This choice also takes place according to the principle of resonance, but under these circumstances, it is resonance in relation to a quality that is in need of engagement or enlargement that the person has chosen to work toward incorporating into their living.

Energetic Boundaries

We may put physical boundaries in place to protect ourselves, as Stacy did by choosing to spend less time with her mother-in-law. Energetic boundaries are also critical. When we set energetic boundaries we add the conscious intention to maintain our own vibration and not be affected by another’s.

How do we perceive energy in others?

Our brain processes energy frequency through our five senses and we tend to read energy with those senses that are most open to us. 

Have you noticed how you perceive energy in others? 

Some people see color, feel texture, or may sense an odor.

I have a client who I call my sunflower client because I experience her aura as golden in color.

What is your energy signature? What color is it?  Does it have a fragrance? What texture is it?  

In subsequent articles, we will learn the vibrations carried by individual emotions, how we can increase our vibration and learn how our inner alignment with our life purpose creates a unique high vibration and a source of light
