The Difference Between High And Low Vibrational People
spirituality and science. two things that spend most of their time arguing with each other when they’re actually trying to explain the same stuff from different angles. i’m deep into psychology and neuroscience as you all know by now. that’s obvious from everything i write. what usually catches people off guard is when i tell them i’m equally deep into spirituality. i’m not religious in the traditional sense. but i find it genuinely fascinating and i take practical wisdom from every holy text i’ve read. the bible, the quran, the bhagavad gita, the tao te ching. those books are loaded with psychological and philosophical insight that holds up regardless of whether you share the theology. the wisdom is real. you’d be a fool to dismiss it just because of the packaging. but the thing people really don’t expect from me is this. i fully believe in energies. chakras. auras. life force. qi. prana. the breath of life. the idea that the human body carries and projects something beyond what’s visible. and i know how that sounds coming from someone who talks about prefrontal cortex function and dopamine receptor sensitivity for fun. here’s the thing though. when you actually look at the science, the gap between what spirituality calls energy and what physics calls energy is a lot smaller than most people think. your body produces and uses energy constantly through adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the cellular currency that drives every biological process you have. your heart generates an electromagnetic field measurable several feet outside your body. your nervous system operates through electrical signals and neurons create measurable electromagnetic fields. you radiate approximately 145 watts of heat and infrared radiation continuously. the human body is an electrical system operating within a wider electromagnetic environment. short-lived electrical events called action potentials occur in neurons. these action potentials facilitate intercellular communication and activate intracellular processes. you are literally emitting energy. measurably and provably. when spirituality talks about the aura (the subtle luminous field surrounding the body that reflects emotional and mental states) and science talks about the body’s electromagnetic signature, they’re describing overlapping phenomena using different vocabulary. when traditional chinese medicine talks about qi flowing through meridians, and modern research shows that the nervous system creates bioelectromagnetic pathways through the body that influence organ function and emotional states, they’re pointing at the same territory. same thing just different maps. the spiritual traditions were working with limited observational tools but extraordinary intuition. science is working with instruments but sometimes limited imagination. somewhere between them is the truth. somewhere between them is the idea that you are an energy system that happens to have a body as its physical expression… black coffee as usual. something ambient and slow playing. candle lit. let’s actually get into it. "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." — Nikola Tesla everything vibrates. this is simple physics. matter at the quantum level is not solid. it’s vibrational. particles are in constant motion. molecules oscillate. the frequency at which things vibrate determines their state, their properties, their interaction with other matter. your body is no different. people like to write it off as mystical bullshit but it’s true. your cells oscillate. your neurons fire in rhythmic electrical patterns. your heart beats in measurable cycles. your brain produces waves, delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma, each at different frequencies corresponding to different states of consciousness, attention, and emotion. the idea that some people carry a different energetic frequency is extrapolation of real physics into the domain of human psychology and biology. and the practical reality of it is something everyone has experienced even if they never had the language for it. you’ve walked into a room and felt something shift. you’ve been around certain people and felt lighter, more alive, more energized than when you arrived. you’ve been around others and felt something drain from you that you couldn’t quite name. that’s not just imagination. your nervous system is a detection instrument. it picks up patterns in other people’s behaviour, micro-expressions, vocal tone, posture, cortisol levels being expressed through their body, all of it below the level of conscious processing. and it integrates all of that input into a felt sense. what spirituality calls energy, psychology calls social and emotional contagion. the mechanism is real either way. the perspective is the only thing that differs. chakras are described in ayurvedic and yogic traditions as spinning vortices of energy along the spine, each one associated with different emotional, physical, and spiritual states. most people dismiss this immediately because it sounds like folklore. but i want you to look at what the chakras actually correspond to and then look at what anatomy says about the same locations. the root chakra at the base of the spine corresponds in the scientific model to the sacral nerve plexus, the network of nerves governing the legs, pelvic floor, and the fight or flight survival response. same location and same function in both systems. one says it governs safety and survival. the other says it governs the autonomic stress response. the solar plexus chakra corresponds to the celiac plexus, the largest autonomic nerve plexus in the body. this is literally where the gut-brain connection is most dense. the region most associated with gut feeling, intuition, the visceral emotional responses we describe as coming from the stomach. the heart chakra corresponds to the cardiac plexus and the region where the vagus nerve, the primary regulator of the parasympathetic nervous system, is most active. the vagus nerve governs social connection, emotional regulation, and the felt sense of safety with others. the throat chakra corresponds to the pharyngeal plexus governing speech and communication. i’m not saying chakras are literal spinning wheels of light that we have in our bodies. i’m saying the ancient traditions mapped the body’s major energetic and emotional centres with remarkable accuracy using observation rather than instruments. and modern anatomy, when you lay them side by side, describes the same territory in different language. "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it." — Albert Einstein this is where it gets practical and was what i really wanted to talk about in this post. vibration in the human sense is essentially the quality of energy a person carries and projects into their environment. and it’s not complicated to identify once you know what you’re looking at. high vibrational people are not perfect people. they’re not endlessly positive or perpetually happy. they’re people who are in genuine alignment with themselves. their words, actions, and inner state are pointed in the same direction. there’s no chronic leak between what they feel and what they express, between what they say and what they do. they’ve done enough internal work that they’re not constantly at war with themselves below the surface. and that internal coherence radiates. you feel settled around them and clear. simply at peace. neurologically what you’re experiencing is nervous system co-regulation. the social nervous system, through the vagus nerve and mirror neuron systems, is constantly reading the state of other nervous systems. when you’re around someone who is genuinely regulated, your own nervous system tends toward regulation. when you’re around someone chronically dysregulated, anxious, reactive, your own nervous system picks that up too. this is why certain people energize you and certain people exhaust you. your nervous system is worki…
