11 Tips To Boost Your Vibration

Ready to boost your vibration, increase your energy, raise your levels of consciousness, and manifesting power?

These simple yet powerful ways help boost your vibration and your mood, and help support you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on your journey of awakening and ascension.

We know the more we can increase our vibration, the easier it is to manifest and attract a different reality in our life and on our planet.

11 Ways To Boost Your Vibration

Be More In The Moment: It is much easier to manage your energy and boost your vibration when you are fully in the present moment. Our stressors and our triggers are more likely to be engaged when we are in our head rather than in a state of being. It is much easier to be in a state of energetic flow in the moment.

Eat Clean High Vibrational Foods: What we eat and drink and even medically put in our body has a huge impact on our physical body, the physical vessel and energetic body that is here to help hold the spiritual vessel. So many foods lower our vibration and interfere with our spiritual channel, especially alcohol, artificial sweeteners, and caffeine which can block the 3rd eye. So eat high-vibe food, especially food that is organic, fresh, and from all the colours of the rainbow.

Get More Soul Connected: The stronger our soul connection is, the easier it is to be a strong channel for love, light, and divine truth. This will help raise your soul power, and boost your vibration and spiritual connection to god, to the divine. So practice deep meditation with your soul, and create time for spiritual prayer to build that richer deeper connection with your heart and soul. Also, it is important to note that affirmations are best done when we are deeply and spiritually connected.

Inner Work: Doing the inner work, the shadow work, soul work, and inner child work helps us heal old trauma, old ancestral, karmic, and energetic patterns in ourselves, our family line, and the collective. That is why I LOVE working with archetypal therapy as archetypes are a powerful and fast way to identify our shadow traits and deep inner child wounding.

Be Authentic: Work on being authentic, being honest with yourself first and foremost and others. It helps free the soul and detach from the deep hold the ego has on the identity we think we need to present to the world. A very natural way to boost your vibration, your soul.

Know You Are Enough: When you know you are enough it is much easier to show up as you, show up in a healthy, confident way. So many lightworkers and spiritual business owners sabotage their success by trying to be something they are not. Trying to be more of something they are never meant to be. You are here to be you, this helps us let go and let god.

Stay On Your Path: Staying in our lane, focusing on our spiritual journey, and our life purpose helps accelerate our vibration tenfold. The more you get distracted by others’ roles, knowledge tools, and techniques than what you are here to do. The more you scatter and lower the energy of your own soul path and soul connection.

Get Grounded: Get grounded as much as possible, we are so used to living in such unnatural environments, we don’t realize how unhealthy and ungrounded we are. So get out in mother nature, and bring more nature to you. Essential oils, house plants, and certain crystals can help support us with grounding. So can energy tools that help protect our energy.

Use Natural Medicine: We are so lucky to be surrounded by nature’s medicine in our gardens and nature, but also today have such easy access to so many forms of natural medicine, and nutritional healing from nature. There are so many things in nature that can help support our wellbeing, for example, I have some fresh mint in my garden that I use as an infusion, and lavender is extremely soothing and healing. Many essential oils can raise our vibration energy, like lemon oil and orange oil are great for boosting our mood, rose is gently uplifting, and great for grief, loneliness, and heartache.

Expand Your Heart: Heart expansion helps us raise our vibration, and increase our capacity for more compassion, love, and generosity of spirit. Our heart intelligence has a higher wisdom, and higher vibration than our egoic mind. That is why it is so important for us to work on expanding our spiritual heart such as in this heart meditation.

Tackling Textures And Smells – Healthier Eating For The Sensitive Child

Tackling textures and smells – Healthier Eating For The Sensitive Child

Guest Post by Neil Welsh Nutrition.

Tackling Textures And Smells In The Sensitive Child

Feeding kids is difficult at the best of times and can have implications for the physical and mental health of everyone involved. It is stressful for kids who have sensitivities to food and can limit the range of food that are readily available to them from which they can meet their nutritional needs.

As for parents and carers, it impacts us too. The greatest impact on adults tends to be psychological in the form stress and anxiety in feeding a sensitive child. But the impact can also be physical. Kids who have difficulties when it comes to feeding can have a huge impact on the adults in their lives.

Why You Shouldn’t Narrow Down Different Textures And Smells

The narrowing down of a child’s food choices will often narrow down an adult’s food options too with many foods not being served as they are on the “do not like” list, and many of those foods being the healthier options which may be less palatable to a child. In addition to food options being narrowed time is a huge issue.

Sensitive kids will often require more time to eat, or try to eat. Many parents find themselves cooking twice, one meal for their sensitive child and then another for the rest of the family. This additional time in the kitchen adds up to hundreds of hours that could be put to use in other ways.

So what can parents do to help a child who is sensitive to textures and smells and improve everyone’s lives?

Don’t ignore it. The head in the sand approach is not your best option here but many parents do this hoping that it will be a phase which a child will grow out of. It may well be a phase but kids have lots of phases; tantrums, hitting, getting out of bed in the middle of the night and we would not just let them carry on these phases without some intervention. Food aversion is no different. Even if it were just a phase, it may unnecessarily carry on for years. There are ways to approach the problem which can be stress free for all involved and drastically improve the situation.

Talk about it. Many parents are concerned that talking about it with their kids may make it worse and reinforce it. It wont. As long as you are compassionate and empathetic then it should be fine. Let your child know that you understand and that you want to try and help. Tell them that you are on the same team and that you understand that things have been hard but you are going to try some new approaches. Now, let’s not be naïve here. There is a good chance that a child may be less than enthusiastic about this and that is fine. But warning them about a change and letting them feel part of the decision can be empowering and help improve the situation. This conversation is important.

This sounds easy but in reality it is quite difficult. Feeding professionals state that it can take up to 20 exposures for new tastes and textures to be accepted. If you were to serve a child the same problem food once a week that would mean that you would need more than 4 months of serving a food that your child does not like to see a progression from resistance to just licking. It’s a long time but the speed of acceptance does increase over time. Start with tricky foods just on the plate. Encourage a child to taste, they don’t have to eat it. There is a huge difference between eating and tasting to a child. Start with a sniff, go on to a lick, then a chew (followed by a spit) and hope for a swallow.

Get the environment right. Little details can add up to have big impacts. Getting a child ready to eat in plenty of time makes a big difference. Coming straight from playing to sitting down to eat can quickly result in “I don’t like it”, when what they really mean is “I want to go back and play”. Get kids in the kitchen. Get them helping to cook and lay the table… and clearing up afterwards. If they are old enough to operate an ipad then they are old enough to put plates in a dishwasher! Serve food in portions that are age appropriate, cut up tricky foods into bite size pieces, serve food family style so kids can help themselves and don’t always leave it until dinner to try to expose kids to difficult food (kids will be tired at the end of the day and it can make the job more difficult).

Keep calm and carry on. Know that this is a slow process and accept this. Do not stress if you don’t see results this week, or next week but keep going. Keep exposing and keep talking.

Be Patient Challenges Around Textures And Smells Usually Improve

Over time the situation and difficulties around different textures and smells should begin to improve. If there is no improvement then professional assessment may be required but at least you will know that you have taken steps to address the issue before moving on to this step.
