Lian Malinao: If There Is Energy, There Is Vibration

If There Is Energy, There Is Vibration
by Lian Malinao

It’s one of those buzz words we hear all the time: vibe. “Create your vibe,” “This isn’t the vibe,” “That’s a vibe,” “We’re vibing!” But what are we REALLY saying when we invoke the concept of vibe? As a yoga therapist, vibrational healer, and shamanic practitioner, it’s really telling that even in our modern vernacular we are seeking a way to explore how vibration effects us.

I get asked all the time during vibrational sessions: “But does it really work? Isn’t this a bunch of woowoo?” And from the standpoint of both science and eastern philosophies of both yoga and Korean shamanism, vibration is a concept that has profound meaning.

Vibration is something which functions even at the subatomic level. From the energetic potential and bonds of electrons to create molecules and matter, to the synaptic impulses of neural connections, to electrical currents, to the sound of our voices, to earthquakes and typhoons we are experiencing vibration at every level of our existence. If there is energy, there is vibration, there is sound. And energy is vibrating at any given moment to sustain this physical and three dimensional existence. It’s what holds us together.

In eastern philosophies, and in actually most mythologies of human societies, the world began in silence or stillness, until a vibration created matter. In eastern Samkhya philosophy or even from Korean shamanic philosophy, From a deep general conscious darkness (purusha), Light or energy came into existence (prakriti). And from the first primordial energy / life / matter all things were created. So from a vast energy, differentiation occurred to create mind, self awareness, and our existence as we know it.

But! From all mythologies we explore that our current existence and access to self realization is veiled by illusion and suffering. And so there are many ways we are invited into pulling these veils of illusion away so that we can better see and recognize who we truly are so that we can get closer to returning to that purer energetic state. We are created by energy, connected by energy, and we are trying to return to that energy.

But again, how can be use this in our modern lives? Well, we are being invited to become AWARE of what causes us suffering / ignorance / fear / etc. and and to move away from it. If vibration is what we are created by, then surely we can use it as a tool to clarify and heal and find our truths? Absolutely. Turns out vibration and sound are some of the main tools to effect the energetic body, and that effect directly correlates with our physiological well being.

What you eat, who you keep in your circles, what kinds of media you’re consuming, what modalities of healing and medicine you partake in. All of it has a profound effect. And we are seeing trend where we are all subconsciously or consciously recognizing that. We are trying to understand our spirituality and bring it into fruition. We’re seeing more people exploring alternative medicines, healthy eating, exercise. These are all different energies and vibrations that will effect our own energy and vibrations. Acupuncture, energy work, yoga, meditation, vibrational work, breathwork, somatics come into play here too.

But remember too. Energy and vibration has an amplitude which effects how far it will travel. So nothing is constant. We’re going to have good moments and bad moments. Vibration is just as cyclical as life itself. So when you find yourself on the low curve of amplitude, just remember it will eventually flow back up. We don’t have control over that. But what we do have control of is our we prepare ourselves to navigate that. Mind set, health, community.

So what do I want you to walk away with? I want to you realize that we are all truly seeking to shift our vibe. And that because all things are here through vibration, we have an infinite amount of tools available to use to regain agency back into our own wellbeing and healing. It’s about being AWARE and MINDFUL. It’s about the journey of DISCOVERING who we are and TRUSTING who we are.

We are each a symphony of beliefs, experiences, and form. What we do does create a vibe. Who we are is a vibe. And thusly each of us have the access to be the healing body not only for ourselves but for others. That’s our impact.

So take a deep breath in, here the vibration of your breath and lifeforce and ask yourself: “What is my vibe?”
