Do You Have a “Low” or “High Vibration”? Read These 61 Signs

Low or High Vibration Signs image

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration.

– B. Hicks

We’ve heard the phrases many times before … “Man, he has a really negative vibe,” “That place had AMAZING energy,” “She’s so energetic.” Yet few of us ever really stop to fathom the depths of these common expressions and remarks. The truth is that instinctively, on both a primal and intuitive level, we can sense that not only is everything composed of energy, but this energy varies in its quantity and quality drastically in our everyday lives.

Have you ever been in a busy and bustling train station and felt a sense of “heaviness”? Or have you ever gone to a concert and felt a sense of inner “lightness” or elation? These are simple and fairly common examples of our ability to “tune into” different frequencies of energy in our lives.

So what does having a “low” or “high vibration” mean, and where does it fit into this equation? If you’ve heard these phrases used before, and if you are curious to learn more about what having a high or low vibration means, keep reading!

Everything You Need to Know About Low and High Vibrations – Simplified

High vibrations are generally associated with positive qualities and feelings, such as love, forgiveness, compassion and peace. On the other hand, low vibrations are associated with darker qualities such as hatred, fear, greed and depression. We’ll explore low and high vibrations more in depth below.

But what does all of this really mean? Essentially, the higher your vibration is, the more in touch you are with your higher self, inner “God/Goddess,” Divinity, Consciousness, Holiness, Soul, or the many other words out there to describe your true nature. This also means that the lower your vibration is, the more out of sync you are with your higher nature, and therefore the more conflict you experience in life.

61 Signs That You Have a Low or High Vibration

Before you read the lists below, it’s important to remember 2 things. Firstly, you are rarely ever 100% “either/or” anything in life. Therefore, you’ll most likely fall along a spectrum of 25% high and 75% low, 55% high and 45% low – and so forth. So refrain from boxing yourself up into black or white labels. Secondly, discovering whether you have a primarily low or high vibration is really helpful . . . for you. However, be wary of using these labels against others (e.g. “He/she has a low vibration, keep away!”) – ironically, this perpetuates the low vibrations linked to segregation and discrimination. That is why this is best used as a self-discovery tool.

So with this in mind, what kind of vibration do you have, and how does this impact your life?

If you have a low vibration …
  • You feel “stuck” or stranded in life, not knowing what to do next.
  • You struggle with apathy or an uncaring attitude towards yourself and others.
  • You are emotionally distant.
  • You are emotionally reactive.
  • You struggle with constant fatigue and lethargy.
  • You have a primarily self-centric view of the world.
  • You often struggle with despair and desperation.
  • You find it almost impossible to get “unstuck” from old habits.
  • You have a prominent Shadow Self.
  • You feel physically unfit and unhealthy.
  • You bottle up feelings such as resentment and jealousy.
  • You find it hard to forgive yourself and other people.
  • You suffer from a guilt complex (i.e. you constantly feel guilty about something/or seek things out to feel guilty about).
  • You don’t really know what you want in life.
  • You continue to make poor choices.
  • You find it hard to see the beauty in life.
  • You feel unfulfilled.
  • Your connections with others constantly bring you pain.
  • You are overly cynical and skeptical.
  • You are argumentative.
  • You complain a lot.
  • You easily fall into victim-based mindsets.
  • You self-sabotage.
  • You focus primarily on the negative in life.
  • You struggle to feel gratitude.
  • You eat a lot of fatty or processed foods (e.g. meat, fast food, lollies).
  • You are needy or demanding of others.
  • You watch a lot of violent multimedia and/or listen to intense music with violent lyrics.
  • You find it hard to make any real progress in life.
If you have a high vibration … 
  • You are self-aware (i.e. you are conscious of what you are saying, doing, thinking and feeling, as well as the effect this has on others).
  • You are empathetic towards others needs and you make a habit of seeing through the eyes of other people.
  • You are highly creative and are often bursting with ideas and inspiration.
  • You are emotionally balanced.
  • You feel connected to that which is “beyond” you (e.g. life, divinity, love).
  • You have a great sense of humor towards life.
  • You don’t take yourself too seriously.
  • You regularly feel gratitude for what you have in life.
  • Smiling and laughing comes easily to you.
  • You don’t experience much disappointment because you don’t cling to passing things (e.g. material comforts, friendships, indulgences).
  • You are self-disciplined.
  • You can delay pleasure if it does not serve you.
  • You do not “need” anything to feel happy.
  • You are in-tune with your body and its needs.
  • You nurture yourself often.
  • You nurture others often.
  • You often experience synchronicity.
  • You live in the present more than the past or future.
  • Your body feels strong and healthy.
  • You eat raw, unprocessed food.
  • You try to keep your life clutter-free.
  • You forgive yourself and other people easily.
  • You feel as though you have found your calling in life.
  • Opportunities and new doors spontaneously appear to you in life.
  • Patience comes easily to you.
  • You don’t feel the need to argue or compete with others – let them win and feel right, it’s OK!
  • You are open to many different types of people, ideas, beliefs and experiences in life.
  • You feel confident in yourself and your abilities.
  • You are attracted to profound, calming and inspirational music/movies/TV shows.
  • You are highly intuitive.
  • Other people easily open up to you.
  • You often find yourself in the role of the counselor, peacemaker or teacher in friendships and relationships.

***

The reality is that most of us share some forms of “low vibration” and other forms of “high vibration,” but the goal is to become aware of what you are excelling at and what you could improve on within your journey of inner transformation.

One of the easiest ways to determine whether you are vibrating at a “high frequency” or a “low frequency” is by paying attention to how you physically feel. Do you feel light, energized, clear and healthy? Chances are you have a high vibration. On the other hand, if you feel weighed down, repressed, oppressed, stuffy or heavy, you are most likely operating on a low vibration.

    I truly believe that there are high vibrations and low vibrations in each of us and the problem we have is thinking that one is better than the other. In reality, they are not. They are whole. They create one. Once everyone sees life through this lens we will start to realize that the fear of choosing one or the other is really what hinders our purpose of truly living a balanced and beautiful life.

    What do you think of: My consistent positive thinking builds attitudes that keep me expectant of good.?
    author unknown. I like all your articles very much. I consider myself to be a high energy person in every way (of course I’m still evolving). Nature is my family. But, I really like Banshee,some dark comedies, and really good horror movies. Is that just my “dark” side, or what? Thank you.

    So because I enjoy metal, I’m at a low vibration? Cough*bullshit*cough. I guess I’ve been at a low vibration since I was 6 years old (I’m now 24)… I just love the intricacies of metal music and the energy it produces in myself. No other music makes me feel as good as metal can. So should I listen to music that makes me bored orrrr listen to the music that makes me feel good? Feeling good would raise my vibrations…. right?!

      Hi Kyle,

      I just wanted to tell you that there are a few prolific ambient musicians out there who claim that those who love Metal understand their (ambient/spiritual) music the most. I had a professor who loved metal (still does), and he is one of the most shining, energetic, high vibratory people I have ever met. I played a music clip of Steve Roach in the classroom, and he and my friend (also lover of metal) were the most visibly moved out of everyone in the room.

      Do what makes you happy and your heart/soul sing, and that will keep you at high vibes.

    I’m a fan of this site, I love your articles and my vibes tend to be rather high according to this list.
    It’s good to stand for yourself too but could you please educate yourself a bit (not in a spiritual or metaphysical way) before you say things like “mental issues = low vibes”? What about physical issues?
    Reading this, I feel really sorry for some of my friends who’s fighting for a long time including myself.
    Plus, heavy metal doesn’t associated with hates or worshipping unholy figures most of the time. They even praise lives just like other music genres.
    Please stop stigmatising. Have a good day, from Japan. :)

    For what I read I fit in the High Vibration wagon except in the part of the food thingy there, oh boy let me tell you I always say,” I work out to pig out”.

    When very bad times come or about to come I feel I bit low and cry like a little girl for a while then I go back to my normal self.

    The quality that matches the most with the high vibration is that I am highly intuitive.

      We all tend to fluctuate between “low” and “high” which is normal.
      Thanks for sharing.

    I feel like my energies fluctuate occasionally between high and low vibrations. Could this be because I’m an empath? I can relate to some of the signs for both high and low vibration some of the time. Excellent read as usual.

      Thank you Lupe. :) That is hard to say … most people fluctuate between both types of vibrations, so it is a common thing. The rate at which you fluctuate, however, might reveal whether you’re an empath, or deal with other problems such as BPD or bipolar.

      Hey, I feel the same way and I was also told I’m an empath and I’m still trying to understand it..
