Story Time
I want to use a story to illustrate what I’m talking about for the concepts in today’s article. Stories have more of a tendency to stick with you long term. So sit back and pretend you’re reading a children’s book for the next 48 seconds.
Samuel
Let’s use a story of two ducks to look at how vibration can disrupt from seemingly mundane choices over time. Samuel is our first duck. He left the pond of his youth believing life to be an adventure. Having been kicked out of Kensington Gardens for somewhat disreputable behavior, he now resides in a verdant park in Central London where Maseratis litter the streets.
With only a few duck friends remaining after the Kensington incidents we shan’t mention, he mostly circulates with a motley crew of pigeons. While not ideal, he finds their company generally agreeable, if lacking a classic English dry humor. Together they squabble and gulp scraps of fries, bits of old English breakfast, and even the occasional red-canned gutter pour of Camden Hells Lager.
Life is stimulating, if not often startling for Samuel. He’s constantly fluttering into the air for safety from traffic sounds. Garbage collection is the worst, banging waking him up before the horizon even has a chance to take on a mauve blush. He then waddles the park for hours, unable to sleep.
However, it’s all worth it when he can alight on a railing in rusty bricked Mayfair, a church spire with the hourly bells reverberating pleasantly through his feathers, or his personal favorite, the Harrods holiday lights off Brompton Street in SW1. Investigating a ketchup covered blob on the sidewalk with his bill he feels sorry for his cousins back in the pond who do not live with such abundance.
Victoria
Meet Victoria, our second duck. A traditionalist, she still glides the pond of her youth. Tracing circuitous routes through the rustling cattails, and dipping her bill to scoop up unsuspecting diving beetles. Backing up next to a grassy shore for a rest she is soothed to sleep by the lapping of the lukewarm pond against her tummy, and the hum of insects tucked in the grass behind her.
When she wakes the moon is casting a luminous glow over the lake. In the silence Victoria glides forward, smoothly joining her fellow kind in their morning dawn flight. An unobscured horizon before her Victoria dips with the wind and trades places with her dear friend Emilie.
Diving from formation, Victoria and Emilie splash in to the water below, tiny wakes rippling behind them. Victoria’s mate Albert nuzzles up to her. They paddle to the side and turn their necks around to nestle in for a nap next to each other.

Vibrational Frequency Effects of the Mundane
Both Samuel and Victoria experience elements that make for a rich life. We can probably all find elements of Samuel and Victoria in each of us. Our vibration is affected by mundane daily choices that appear to do nothing in the immediate, but have cumulative effects on our vibrational frequency over time.
What are the environmental sounds around us? Are they soothing or aggravating? How often are we scared or startled? Is our life moving at a speed where we can savor a meal, or take a nap? Can we do things that inspire the senses and give us a sense of awe? How’s our air quality?
Vibratory health is about how well our environments suit us, and our nervous system. Have we become enamored by an environment that’s unnatural for us, so much so that we don’t have a sense of what we are missing?
If I asked you which duck has a higher vibration I think many of us would choose Victoria. The sounds, the food, the camaraderie- it’s all suitable for her. While she may be missing some of the Knightsbridge awe in Samuel’s life, I think many of us can see Samuel is paying too high a price for his awe.
Samuel has blessings, but the tradeoff is steep. The food he’s eating will slowly kill him. Over time he may develop nervous habits from being repeatedly startled. He’s hanging out with friends that don’t sound resonant, or like deeply fulfilling relationships.
Across various articles I’ve touched on how more obvious culprits like unresolved trauma, how we handle conflict, and other low vibration behaviors eat away at our frequency, but the mundane is equally significant.
The Slow Erosion of Vibrational Frequency
Now that we’ve had a glimpse of how vibration we can slowly distort from environmental factors, let’s explore what can happen when our overall vibrational frequency (the combination of all high and low vibrations in our body) slowly erodes over time.
When I was 17 I had my appendix removed. After surgery I was concerned about the loss of an organ. The doctor waved off my concerns telling me the appendix didn’t serve a purpose. Even to someone who, under the blur of anesthesia had recently thought a blue scrubbed nurse was a Smurf, that sounded off. “Oh crap.” I thought. “That thing probably does serve a purpose, we just don’t know it yet.”
It felt like a stretch to me that we’d either evolved past needing an organ as humans, or that nature made worthless organs. In recent years it’s believed the appendix may be a storehouse of good bacteria for the microbiome.
This story reminds me our knowledge of what influences health is constantly evolving. I’ve been expanding my mind lately considering what impacts a low vibration may have on health.
I suspect a distorted vibrational frequency influences if we experience health or illness. Delicate processes like hormones may be easily disrupted initially, and larger frequency distortions could be contributing factors for more serious illnesses like organ failure.
If we consider our organs are vibrating masses of atoms, wouldn’t it make sense that if this vibrational pattern is off we would experience illness, or the organ wouldn’t work well?
If we consider a fluctuating frequency, something true at one moment in time is not true forever. Could frequency help provide answers for people in unexplainable medical situations, or help explain illness deemed to be “in the patient’s head”?
Chinese Medicine has long declared vibrations can promote healing of organs, and recommends vibrational sounds to balance each organ. For example, if the vibrational frequency (collective vibration) of the liver is off, does it become more likely to break down if we are drinking heavily? Consuming pesticides that make it work harder?
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~Nikola Tesla
Exploring Connections Between Health & Vibration
When our body’s capacity to repair itself is outstripped by a lifestyle that constantly demands just a bit more juice than we have in our tank each day we introduce problems. In situations like these our vibration begins to look like a stock chart taking a nose dive. Giving more than we have every day gradually diminishes vibration.
We just don’t typically associate common maladies like migraines, sleep difficulty, cold/flu, period cramps, candida overgrowth, low testosterone etc. as signs our vibration is diminishing. Much less, start to explore the connection between vibration and health.
This is an emerging frontier and one where I’m sharing a perspective based on observations of my own body. I could be totally wrong- but I think it’s so interesting to think about the associations we can make between items we haven’t previously connected.
I’m also not the only one speculating. I was just reading an article in the National Library of Medicine on trials using vibration to induce apoptosis (death) in cancer cells. The study acknowledges vibration influences cell health.
If we could learn to recognize the signs of a diminishing vibrational frequency early on we could attempt to intervene… before we need to manually shift the vibration of cells as a treatment methodology.
I’ve always found it intriguing to grope blindly in the unknown for what can be uncovered, versus just memorizing what other people have uncovered. For those who read my article on why caring about an invisible vibrational frequency can be beneficial, you’ll remember the men who discovered germs and oxygen were both initially ridiculed.
This is not to discount all the brilliant medical discoveries already made that explain so much for us, but to add to the growing base of knowledge. Avoiding the temptation to simplify our world by imagining we know all there is to know about human health.
