Operating From A Higher Frequency
What exactly does operating from a higher frequency entail? In simple terms, it means taking the high road.
As we all know, there are many different roads and avenues we can take in life. It is always a conscious decision on our part. Despite the freedom to choose, the more mindful and aware we become, the more we practice elevating our consciousness and frequency, and just like anything in life, the easier it becomes to operate from a higher frequency.
Taking the High Road as a Conscious Choice
Part of operating from a higher frequency means becoming mindful of the connectivity of us all.
We are all connected to this earth, this life, and to everyone. We are all really one. We are all in this together. We all have problems and challenges, and we should never take our problems out on others.
I am always disheartened when I cross paths with an angry or sad person and see how they may misdirect their pain and sadness. Grimacing at the world because you have problems only attracts more negativity and sadness.
Compassion and Vulnerability
The most disheartening thing is that when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, truly vulnerable with others, we actually empower ourselves.
It takes willpower and a depth of consciousness to give people the benefit of the doubt. It is okay, and most of the time safe, to assume the universe really is a loving universe. Most people really are compassionate.
And it is this compassion that truly allows us to operate from a higher frequency.
Why We Are Here to Evolve
When we start to live and act from a place of compassion, we begin to see others as our fellow brethren, friends, and earth family.
It has been through many years of practicing mindfulness that I have come to fully understand the beauty of this. It is powerful to be able to not live inside your own sorrow and pain, while still understanding on a profound level that we are all suffering.
Life is essentially set up this way so that we can evolve. If everything were happy-go-lucky, we would never have any reason to seek deeper truth or growth.
And while I am not insinuating that everyone is interested in evolving, maybe not in this lifetime but perhaps the next, eventually we will be left with no option but to evolve.
Living With Awareness and Peace
We then begin to see life for what it is. We begin to live from a place of compassion. We begin to enjoy a smile with a complete stranger because we are connected to everyone and everything around us.
We begin to feel safe enough to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to put our vulnerabilities on display. We begin to enjoy the connectivity among everyone and everything.
We smile even though deep down inside we may be struggling. I struggle daily, but I take comfort in knowing it is okay to smile.
I understand now that life is a school that will continue presenting challenges for me to overcome. And everyone else is in the same school.
It is perfectly okay and safe to smile and find some sense of peace with the unknowing and with what is to come.
