The other day I got an  email from one of my awesome clients.  We have been working on really being intentional and utilizing the Law of Attraction on a daily basis and she had a great question.

What are some of the best ways to raise your vibration and what do you do when you are dealing with a life challenge or grief.

Now, the easy answer to that is anything that makes you feel good, but to be more specific, I’ve put together a list of 10 things you can do to raise your vibration right now.

1.  Meditate– This is one that Abraham Hicks talks about all the time because when we are in meditation we generally let our monkey mind have a break and we settle into the current moment.  When we focus on our breath and are dealing with the here and now, we are at peace and our vibration rises.  It’s also during that time we can connect with our higher selves and the Universe in order to raise our vibration even more.  A quick 5-minute meditation can do wonders.

2. Visualize– Visualization is one of my favorite tools for manifesting and raising your vibration!  When you think about that thing you are trying to manifest and it makes you feel good and as if it’s happening for your right now, your vibration increases and it even brings your manifestation to you faster. For some people, visualization is simply a reminder of what they don’t have which creates the opposite effect, so if this makes you feel bad-don’t do it.

3. Intend to increase your vibration– This one is tricky, but it’s another one of my favorites.  Say you want to attract a certain amount of money into your life and you know you need to raise your vibration to match that of the money you are attracting.  You can totally do that without knowing exactly how to raise your vibration by simply setting the intention to do so.  Close your eyes and imagine something you want to manifest right now.  When you have it in your mind’s eye say to your self- “I intentionally raise my vibration to match that of _____.” When you do that, you may feel a bit of tingling or energy moving around your body indicating your vibration is raising.  Give it a try and see what happens for you.

4.  Take a nap– Another one of my favorites when things feel really difficult and I’m resisting like crazy is to let go and take a nap.  When you sleep your mind has a chance to reset and your vibration naturally raises.  Even a short 20-30 minute nap can significantly raise your vibration and you can hop back into action in no time!

5.  Write a Love List– When I’m having a low moment and I need to infuse my life with positivity I will often write a love list.  This is simply a list of all the things you love.  As you write each item, thing, person or place you can visualize it and feel the love radiating through your body.  Love is the highest vibration of all so if you did this everyday, you could easily raise your vibration and manifest much faster.

Now, what do you do when you are going through a legitimately tough time in life or are dealing with grief?

It can be difficult (or darn right impossible) to jump on the happy wagon to feel better right away.  My personal suggestion for when you are feeling down in the dumps or are struggling with a major life upheaval is this.

Feel the feels that come with it.  Resisting how you feel only lowers your vibration, but crying actually releases it and raises your vibes.  I’m a crier…about everything.  Happy, sad, angry, frustrated etc. I cry.  But when I’m done, I almost always feel 100% better (though with puffy eyes I certainly don’t look it.)

If you are going through a tough time, be kind to yourself.  Don’t think you have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and just shove all your feelings down.  Feel the feels, breathe, drink water, and listen to what your body is asking for and do that.  And when you can as often as you can, choose a better feeling thought.

Watch a funny movie.  Connect with friends.  Read a good book.  Listen to music.  Do something that will raise your vibes even for a little while because it will definitely help and know that you won’t be there forever.
