Follow Your Heart

Chapter 12 Raise Your Vibration Every word spoken, every action or inaction must be done with truth. Speaking the truth, living your truth and being your absolute truth is probably the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to others. When you follow the path that lights your soul, the path that matches your words, your actions, your thoughts – you begin to vibrate on the highest frequency and energy vibration. With this vibration you become clear, you open up, and see the truth of everything. You gain clarity and deeper meaning and understanding of thought and of life itself. When we are able to observe ourselves and others without judgement, with love and not fear, we let go of control. Our physical, emotional, spiritual and mental beings crave clarity, crave balance, crave love, which in turn helps us move forward with our intuition and our life’s true purpose. So let go of the ego, the illusions the belief of who we think we are supposed to be. The ego does not live in a high frequency vibrational being. We are all on a test to see if we can break away from the external world and move closer to our internal world, our divinity. The more we ignore this or stray away from our path of purpose, of love, of divinity – the more we get distracted and attached to the physical world and things – this is where more unhappiness, suffering and discontentment settles in or appears. When we are trapped in ego and we worship the material path, we become lost, we lose our way. I for one have and still do at times get challenged by my ego. When I detract from it and practice my affirmations, mantras and mindfulness, get creative, go into nature or simply be at peace within myself, I am able to go back to love, to my heart space, and take time to rest, heal and grow. Growth does not happen from an ego mind. Dogan – Follow Your Heart – 109 If we can navigate through our waking lives with less or no ego, with ease, then I truly believe that with practice we can flow and embrace a new and more peaceful, blissful way of being. Remember that you are magic – believe in you. You can achieve, have, be, do anything you deserve as long as it is within your truth and higher purpose. Continue to grow and rise your vibration, work on yourself, you are worth it – reclaim your power, your energy – that is all – that is enough. Take your time, growth will happen. Whatever is in your path will be. We are so caught up in chasing things, deadlines, projects, timelines, people, money, that we lose sense of our own self. When we chase, rush, race around, keep busy, we allow the outside world to guide our behaviour, our being, our existence. We are not living from a high vibration, but a low vibration. We are merely living, existing for others and become disconnected from our true selves. Seeking constant approval or validation is tiresome, wasteful energy and not loving or respecting of one’s self or trusting one’s path, soul or heart. Every ounce of validation will take you further away from your truth and will give you many ounces of grief or unhappiness. If you do something, do it for you, because it lights your soul, raises your vibration. When I first started my social media accounts I was doing it all for me, I didn’t understand why it was so important to make “others” accept me. It was all about journaling my wellness and healing journey. But then it happened – I started to be enthralled in the egotistical woes of pleasing others and seeking validation as my Instagram account grew and I became more “noticeable”. It felt exciting and fun at times, but then I had many highs and lows which made me question who I was and why I started – this was not my true purpose. It was merely a stepping stone to get me out of my comfort zone and follow my own path, my own truth. When I began to stop posting so frequently and worrying about getting an applause, I began to do it for me. Remember approval seeking is tiresome, it’s draining you of life, it’s sending you on the wrong path and it’s giving out the wrong Dogan – Follow Your Heart – 110 vibration to the universe. My advice to you is this – give it up! Let go of the comparison and striving to be “better” whatever that means, it’s a LIE, you already ARE ENOUGH, do you for you. Just be yourself, you have, we all have unique gifts to offer the world. Follow your heart and allow these gifts to pour out, they are in there just bursting to flow out. Turn off that part of you – the EGO – that criticises everything that you do, be at home with your “SELF” – that is, your soul space. Come home to that, that is where the real vibrational energy lies. As I grow, expand and awaken a little more I feel a great connection to something larger than life. It is pure consciousness energy – peace from within – peace from my inner knowing, my heart, my ‘self’. When we change our consciousness, we are flowing with life. We are learning to honour our natural rhythm, that is, the rhythm of the universe. Everything comes in waves, energy, frequency, vibrations, emotions, thoughts, nothing is constant, nothing is an accident, it is always changing, from positive to negative and then negative to positive, up or down, dark to light. We must learn to observe the energy, the thoughts and let them come and go. Just sit with them, have awareness and allow your heart, your higher self to guide you. Changing our vibration, our consciousness through belief systems, awakening, expanding, letting go can influence and change our biological expression of our being.
