&lt;br /&gt;
As we evolve, there is a lot of talk about increasing our vibration, or frequency. So what is that all about?&lt;br /&gt;
From what I understand, the theory is that everything has a certain frequency. All things that we perceive, including ourselves, are energy vibrating at a certain frequency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the interesting things I came across when searching for info on the subject was a simple experiment showing how as the&amp;nbsp;frequency increases, the more complex the structure. In this experiment, they are simply spreading sand on a board which is sitting&amp;nbsp;on a speaker, and they&amp;nbsp;keep increasing the frequency. As the&amp;nbsp;frequency increases, the sand totally rearranges itself, into&amp;nbsp;different symetrical patterns &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtiSCBXbHAg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So how does one increase their own frequency? From what I understand, it is a natural progression, but we can do things to either enhance or restrict this progression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supposedly the frequency of love is higher than the frequency of fear. And all negative emotions are a spin off from fear, such as anger, arrogance, violence etc... and all positive emotions are a spin off from love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So negative influences such as negative media, news, gossip etc... are keeping you in a low vibration state. &lt;br /&gt;
If you get into a positive state of love and appreciation, you will increase your vibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have an appreciation of nature, it is a positive, frequency-increasing state of mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The word &#39;appreciate&#39; such as in the investment sense, means to increase.....and it has the same effect&amp;nbsp;with vibration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One theory, which I have repeatedly heard, is to follow your excitement. In other words, do what excites you in&amp;nbsp;life, rather than what you feel you have to do. Your excitement, is your guiding vibration, that will lead you down your path of least resistance, giving you the best life you can have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all have restrictive beliefs to deal with in regard to following our excitement. It&#39;s part of the challenge of working all this stuff out, by discovering how our beliefs restrict us from just doing what we want. &lt;br /&gt;
Discovering your beliefs is a whole other topic, but for now following your excitement is a good start. This doesn&#39;t mean to throw your job in tomorrow, for we have to honour our current beliefs, until we can uncover them further. &lt;br /&gt;
You can start following your excitement in a small way by simply deciding in your spare time, what do you feel like doing; going for a walk, calling a friend and going out for dinner....and take it from there. Follow that path of excitement, without expectation, as far as you can take it and then go on to the next exciting options available to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it really possible, that your frequency can actually change how you percieve your reality? I have heard James Gilliland (on youtube)&amp;nbsp;explaining how he was meditating in a group scenario, with some fairly experienced meditators, when suddenly their surroundings changed from being inside a building, to being out in a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However all this vibration stuff works, I think the good news is that if there are other realities, that we are heading towards, if a prerequisite of perceiving them, is to have a higher frequency, then that must mean that you would have to have a more loving disposition, and I suppose, that the current beings residing there, must also have a more loving disposition.....so that&#39;s got to be a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

From my observations, for some reason, it&#39;s not as widely&amp;nbsp;discussed as freely as it seems to be&amp;nbsp;in women&#39;s circles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is this because less men are actually open to the subject? Or is it merely because we&#39;re so concerned about our &#39;blokey&#39; images that we keep our mouths shut?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I once travelled to India, where I met an Aussie guy who was big, tough and used to be an excavator driver. We met at an Ashram&amp;nbsp;at a place called Puttaparthi where he&amp;nbsp;was into meditation and&amp;nbsp;was happy to discuss the topic of spirituality. Although while in India it&#39;s an easier setting for the whole subject, he proceeded to explain that&amp;nbsp;he didn&#39;t care what people thought. Apparantly back in Australia at times he would meditate during his lunch break while sitting on his excavator. I&#39;m pretty sure this is not the norm, and slightly easier if you look like Clint Eastwood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supposedly&amp;nbsp;spiritual awareness is growing and it&#39;s a fascinating subject, yet I haven&#39;t come across too many other men open to the subject.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s interesting to observe how people react when the topic is dropped into a coversation. Obviously you have to pick your audience, but I have seen a relaxed conversation get a little uncomfortable, and then suddenly you&#39;re being looked at as though you have your fly undone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if less men are actually spiritually aware, or are we just not prepared to jeopardise our friendships by introducing a left field topic into our usual conversations?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women seem to have the advantage here as they seemingly are open to talk about anything.....I&amp;nbsp;sometimes used to&amp;nbsp;wonder what level of details were discussed when my ex-wife met with her friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For me anyway, the subject is not so much like many other interests that seem to have come and gone, it&#39;s more like a missing piece of this puzzle called &#39;life&#39;, that has finally been found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would be interested to hear anyone else&#39;s experience on the topic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a great day.&lt;br /&gt;
