In today's video, I want to talk to you about why I've stopped raising my positive vibration,
and I fully acknowledge that my experience might be completely different to yours.
And so that's why I am just with this video sharing my view and what I am doing instead.
My name is Tertia and on this channel, I talk about self worth and self-love,
feminine energy and femininity, manifesting, mindset, and all of the things that you can do
to access and stand in your personal power. If that's something that sounds interesting to you,
then I invite you to join us and subscribe, and also make sure that you hit the little bell,

So I've made many videos about raising your positive vibration on this channel,
and I'm not going to take them off. They're still going to stay there because many of you might
be on a different path or in a different aspect of your journey. But I really wanted to talk to
my experience with why I'm no longer going for raise your positive vibes.
So the reason I'm not doing it is because I believe that there is an inherent danger
in doing this. So if I just take you back a couple of years to
when I first started learning about the power that we have of creating our own reality
through our thoughts and through our mind, I was in my early 20s, and for some reason,
I interpreted this as very literal, as in positive thoughts create positive experiences
and attract positive things into your life. So my interpretation was, you can't really have
negative thoughts because negative thinking brings bad things your way. So you have to do everything
that you can to make sure that you stay positive and that you only think positive things and
don't allow any negative feelings or any negative thoughts in.
So you can see where this is going. The solution that I had was to take all of the negative things
and turn them around and make them positive. The problem was though, whenever I said affirmations,
and don't get me wrong, affirmations have a place. You can still use affirmations very effectively.
But the way that I used to use affirmations back then is whenever I said them, and I expressed this
affirmation, in the back of my mind, I could still hear the thing that I was actually believing and
the thing that I tried to avoid thinking about. And also whenever bad things happen to me,
bad things, I would always blame myself. And I would always say, it's probably because
I wasn't positive enough or I was thinking negative thoughts. So that's why I'm saying
that there's an inherent danger in thinking that the only or the best way is to raise your
positive vibration, because I know that I'm not the only one who has interpreted this concept
in this way. Okay, so this is the problem. When we don't allow ourselves to feel certain negative
feelings, or when we don't allow ourselves to have negative thoughts, when we go into a spiral of
feeling down, which is a normal reaction, because we are human, so we are going to feel done at
times. But when we are in this place of being down and we judge and we criticize ourselves
for not being more positive and for not being more upbeat, what you end up doing is you end
up suppressing and denying your feelings. And the thing with feelings and emotions and
our life experience is you can think of it as a scale. So you've got,
let's call it, extreme darkness and heartache on the one end and extreme joy and bliss on the
other end. Now, because we don't want to feel what is on this side, on the darker side, we suppress
that and we shut down our feelings. So our feelings, our ability to feel, the scale and the
bandwidth of our feeling this, becomes shorter. But what we don't realize is that it also becomes
shorter on the other side, because things are balanced, the scale is balanced. So as much
as you, and I hope this makes sense, as much as you suppress and deny these feelings, as much of
the joy and the bliss and the pleasure you prevent yourself from feeling. So you end up playing
and having a bandwidth of only this much. So you only allow yourself to experience
this much of sadness and this much of joy instead of this entire bandwidth that is
available to you. So if we look then at vibration through a feminine lens, what does this look like?
Now, I think collectively, we have this idea that higher is better, right? High vibrations,
positive vibrations, we always want to ascend. And we also want to work with
the upper chakras and the higher chakras, but from a feminine embodiment perspective,
we say instead of going high, we want to go deeper instead. So what does this look like practically?
Going deep means that you face those tender parts of yourself and you are vulnerable to them. Going
deep means that you speak your truth, even if it is something that makes you really uncomfortable.
Going deep means understanding where your boundaries are and being able to enforce them
with compassion. And these are the things that's going to change
your vibration. By virtue of you going deeper, by virtue of you exploring those tender parts of
yourself and releasing the shame and the tension that you unconsciously carry inside of you, you
are changing your vibration. And this change in vibration is going to cause you to resonate with
others, other people, and other experiences that is more harmony with where you are vibrationally
right now. So my invitation to you is instead of going for the high positive vibration,
what would it look like if you could go for the deeper,
more heartfelt tender change in your vibration? I'd love to know your thoughts about this,
so let me know in the comments. And also, I have some ideas of future videos that I'm going to be
making for you, and I'd also love to know from you what videos would serve you.
