What does it really mean to be in high vibration?

Resisting the urge to indulge unhelpful, stress-fueled thinking is not the same as resisting the emotions you are being invited to feel. Often, refusing to indulge in lower-vibration mind patterns gets confused with pushing away uncomfortable or painful feelings. The “high vibes only” mentality that brushes aside any heavy feelings because they aren’t pleasant is a sign of spiritual whitewashing, which is the misuse of spirituality to minimize the parts of life that are more difficult but are crucial to growth. When you’re being triggered in feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, confusion, guilt, or anything else that feels bad, it’s important to go into and underneath the emotion instead of trying to go above or around it. Avoiding emotions will only invite them into your life in a bigger way down the road, so face them head on (in a calm, quiet, reflective space if possible), and explore what the feeling is showing you that needs to be seen for your expansion and healing.
