Beyond ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ Vibes: The Real Wisdom of Frequency

We often hear about “raising our frequency” as the key to intuition, higher consciousness, and divine connection. But what if the wisdom we seek isn’t only found in the high vibrations? Energy moves across a vast spectrum, and while the higher frequencies feel expansive and illuminating, the lower ones carry their own truths, lessons, and opportunities for healing. 

The higher the frequency, the more dynamic and untethered the energy becomes. At times, this can feel chaotic, unpredictable, or even overwhelming. Yet this energy has a purpose—it’s often how we connect with the divine, transcending the physical and tapping into realms of intuition, insight, and universal wisdom. However, before reaching upward to commune with the divine, it is essential to first ground yourself in the Earth. Imagine roots extending from the soles of your feet, burrowing deep into the soil, anchoring you in stability and presence. Grounding like this  creates a balance, a foundation from which your exploration of higher frequencies can safely begin.

We often seek to raise our frequency to access intuition and awaken the third eye, and while this pursuit is meaningful, it’s important to address a common misconception about “low frequency.” Low frequency doesn’t equate to failure, wrongdoing, or negativity. In truth, it’s simply a different vibration: a slower rhythm in the spectrum of existence that holds its own lessons and insights. Our lower frequencies hold the key to knowing our shadow side, what drives our behaviors, and uncovering our deepest seated insecurities. Revealing these frequencies that are already part of our energetic makeup serve as a necessary reset in the cycle of growth. 

This brings us to the distinction between “low frequency” and “low vibes.” Low vibes are not the same as low frequency. Low vibes occur when we disconnect from the truth of our experience and act on the lower frequencies without awareness.. It’s when we resist life’s lessons or fail to see the beauty and meaning in the challenges we face. Low vibes manifest when we forget that the universe and the world around us are reflections of our inner state. An awareness arising from within as a projection of our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.

Low vibes aren’t inherently bad, even though they’re often seen that way. They are messengers, signaling areas in need of attention, compassion, or healing. They remind us to step back, recalibrate, and observe our inner landscape. In this sense, low vibes are not obstacles but invitations—to reconnect, to realign, and to embrace the wisdom that every frequency, whether high or low, brings to our journey.

Perhaps, being “high frequency” isn’t about abandoning the lower states altogether but instead expanding on our capacity to experience the full spectrum of vibration. It’s about learning to navigate and integrate both the higher and lower frequencies, seeing them as complementary rather than oppositional.

The goal is not to dismiss or avoid low vibes but to see them for what they truly are: moments of awareness, opportunities for growth, and integral parts of the human experience. In recognizing this, we can move through all frequencies with grace, understanding that every vibration serves its purpose in the grand symphony of life.
