Feeling Good
It is a choice, you know. Some time back, when some of my outward circumstances seemed to be spiraling downward, I was hearing things in my head. Actually, it was just one thing: a low-pitched vibration – a frequency – that sounded like a distant fog horn. I heard it at home. I heard it at work. I heard it wherever I was. It went on month after month for over a year. I even asked a couple of friends. “Do you hear that?” And that is how I found out it was in my head.
I knew intuitively that I was accessing this low frequency with my core attitude, which I had come to understand, is created with my dominant thoughts. I did not, however, know the frequency’s meaning.
“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear,” (attributed to Buddha, I think). The quote seems to articulate the educational principle that an unprepared student is no student at all. A teacher’s effort is wasted on such a one. But I was ready for a breakthrough.
After living with my constant vibrational companion for so long, the teacher appeared in the form of a book, Frequency, by Penny Pierce. Before reading it, my mind was already open to learn something about the inner life that was producing my awareness of the fog horn.
I learned from Penny Pierce that the fog horn was connected to my feeling habits. Feeling low and lonely and disenfranchised were habitual for me, despite my efforts to put up a brave front. My soul was simply tuning in, like a radio, to the feeling station that I had preset. Long story short, when I worked on changing the feeling station my soul was tuned to, the fog horn faded.
A couple of weeks ago, I heard the fog horn again one morning. Instead of wondering about it and worrying, I knew what was going on. The tuner had slipped. But now I have the tools to tune into a higher frequency and live my best life, so far.
Here’s to tuning our souls to feeling good.
