Here’s an animated music video for today.
All objects of matter have natural frequencies at which they vibrate.
These frequencies are typically determined by the physical properties of the object. When said object is triggered to vibrate strongly, its size, shape, and material combine to emit its unique sound.
For example, tuning forks are simple U-shaped bars of metal that produce a very pure tone when struck. As the prongs oscillate from said impact, you will hear a very consistent note. The same note is replicated each time you smack the fork and let it ring.
However, you don’t always have to physically whack the tuning fork yourself for it to vibrate. It can also be found to do so automatically when a nearby object is emanating the fork’s very tone. It’s possible for one tuning fork to activate another with its own vibration as long as they share the same natural frequency.
Ever notice how your room shakes when a specific bass note is blasted through your premium speakers?
How your wine glass rattles when certain higher tones are sustained?
That’s because all things have a tendency to become excited in the presence of its natural frequency due to resonance.
Your Soul’s Natural Frequency
Let’s expand on this a little more.
Ever see a movie, hear a song, recite a poem, or read a book and get sucked into it as if it was narrating your own life?
Or relate to a particular character so much that you pointed at the TV saying “That’s me!” as if you found the perfect way to describe yourself?
Or have a specific moment that sent chills down your spine, moving you down to your core, eliciting the most powerful emotions as if you finally felt understood, like you belonged, and accurately represented?
Resonance affects us beyond just sound.
Everything in our world, from ideas, objects, experiences, actions, animals, to people, is an amalgamation of energy, which, like sound, carry vibrations at a particular frequency.
In a sense, we are all our own fancy tuning fork.
If you dig deep down, there are core values, interests, and life paths that innately resonate with you.
Concepts like your life purpose, your soulmate, your found family, and your true home start to make sense when you faithfully listen to your own natural frequency.
Because energy, once again like sound, also vibrates automatically when exposed to similar counterparts, you find yourself feeling an instant draw, an instant connection, to particular phenomena.
You can’t help but feel attracted to them as they seamlessly liven up your mood.
There are aspects of life that simply speak the language of your soul.
Cacophony is a Warning
As it pertains to the world of musicians, complementary frequencies produce pleasant sounds called harmonies. On the flip side, frequencies that don’t quite match typically create harsh sounds called dissonance.
If you think back on your life experiences, there must have been a job, ideology, activity, or relationship that just didn’t sit right in your gut.
Rather than amplifying your mood or making each day seem beautiful, those situations instilled negative thoughts of tension, disgust, and anxiety. You probably felt a natural repulsion from them as you knew instinctively that they brought much discomfort to your well-being.
Just as musicians steer away from unintentionally producing dissonance as much as possible, our soul doesn’t like it when we introduce energies that don’t blend well with its own natural vibration.
Another way to view this is to treat your soul like a radio.
On a long joy ride, we tune into our favorite stations by calibrating the radio to receive the proper transmission frequency. If we calibrate to the wrong frequency, the radio plays back a channel we didn’t intend to listen to or just plain noise.
In the same vein, if we pretend to embody a different energy than our own, we’re effectively tuning ourselves to transmit and receive that fake energy, bringing in people, responsibilities, and events that don’t fit who we are deep down.
Our minds are typically cluttered from social programming, peer pressure, and fear, but our authentic selves know what’s right and wrong for us by recognizing the harmonious and dissonant relationships of the various frequency combinations in our lives.
Our souls need to be tuned into accurately for the right signals to come in.
But how does one go about doing so?
Amplifying Your Output
Sitting here at the cusp of 30, I wonder if the past 3 decades have taught me enough so that I may live a good life, a fulfilling life, moving forward.
To recap, I’ve had permanently memorable nights, drank till I forgot countless others, chased validation, been chased by validation seekers, loved deeply, tried shallow non-commitments, broke a handful of hearts along with mine, and thought I had life and happiness figured out only to lose myself in what seemed to be an inescapable pit of despair.
Throughout all of those experiences, because of those experiences, I did and do my best to be honest. I hold doing so to be of utmost importance because forging my parents’ signature to hide a teacher’s note and lying about it got me the scariest of punishments during my childhood. Relationships where I presented an inauthentic character turned extremely sour. So, I have vowed to never again stray from the truth.
That doesn’t necessarily mean being the good guy. In fact, it has made me the bad guy more often than not.
Honesty has brought a lot of growing pains,
but only momentarily,
for it always pointed me in the direction I really needed in the end.
I have realized the only way to find 100% harmony in the place, community, and profession you belong in is to be 100% honest with yourself. Find the things that boost your being. Stay away from those that muddy your sound. Clear the space for your radio to transmit and receive its proper frequency.
Doing so, you eventually find that perfect opportunities seem to land right on your lap. You don’t really have to force yourself to fit in with a group. Your close relationships are naturally compatible, like you’ve known each other for a thousand lifetimes. Life becomes easy as the flow of a wide river.
Once you’re synced to your soul’s natural frequency, your reality becomes exactly what’s right for you.
