You are a living energy field. Your body is made up of energy-producing particles, each of which is in constant motion. So, like everything and everyone in the universe, you vibrate and create energy.
The field of vibrational medicine, sometimes called energy medicine, seeks to use the vibrational energy generated by and around your body to optimize your health.
For many people, the concept of energy fields in the body may seem more spiritual than medicinal.
More research needs to be done to understand how electrical and magnetic energy in the body stimulates chemical processes. But there is growing evidence that these energies can be used to influence your health.
Here's what we know so far.
What do we know about vibrations?
Vibrations are a kind of rhythm. Rhythms occur on large scales, like seasonal changes and tidal patterns. They also occur in your body.
Heartbeats, breathing rhythms, and circadian rhythms are examples of physiological rhythms that we can see, feel, and measure.
But much smaller vibrations also occur in your body. Inside each of your cells, molecules vibrate at characteristic rhythms.
Using atomic force microscopes, researchers detected vibrations at the nanoscale – much smaller than 1/1000th the diameter of a single human hair.
These vibrations generate waves of electromagnetic energy. Researchers have found that vibrations and the electromagnetic energy associated with them cause changes in your cells, which can then affect how your body functions.
Molecules vibrate at different speeds, and these speeds can speed up or slow down if conditions around the molecules change.
Temperature, for example, can change the vibration speed of a molecule.
What is the connection between thoughts, behaviors and vibrations?
Researchers have long known that thoughts and behaviors affect your body's rhythms.
For example, anxious thoughts trigger the release of stress hormones that stimulate your heart rate to speed up or slow down. Likewise, sound vibrations from music affect thoughts, emotions, and body systems.
Vibrational energy experts believe that our behaviors and thoughts can also change much smaller rhythms.
Proponents of this theory believe that it is possible to speed up or slow down the vibrations that occur at the cellular and atomic levels by changing our thoughts, our behaviors - and even our environment.
It is believed that modifying these nanovibrations could impact our mental state and physical health.
What are the benefits of vibrational energy?
More and more research suggests that there is a strong connection between your mind and your body.
It is not yet clear how vibrational energy fits into this relationship. Proponents of this theory believe that it is possible to modify the vibrations of your body in order to
- change your mood
- improve your physical health
- help you achieve your goals and realize your intentions
Vibrational energy experts say that certain emotions and thought patterns, such as joy, peace, and acceptance, create high-frequency vibrations, while other feelings and thought patterns (such as anger, despair and fear) vibrate at a slower pace.
There isn't much scientific evidence to support this correlation. But there is plenty of evidence linking positive emotions and thought patterns to better health and greater goal achievement.
Researchers have found that vibrations of all kinds – electromagnetic, sound and light – can be used to promote healing and stimulate growth in the body.
How can I change my vibrational energy?
Vibrational energy experts recommend several strategies for raising the vibrations of your body and your life.
Although further research is needed to understand if and how these practices impact vibrational energy, many of the recommended practices are known to provide significant health benefits.
Respiratory work
Proponents of this practice say that deep, rhythmic breathing is a good way to realign your vibrational energy.
Research suggests that slow, controlled breathing can calm your heart rate and stimulate areas of your brain that influence:
- comfort
- relaxation
- emotional control
- The well-being
Meditation
Meditation generally involves sitting or lying comfortably in a quiet area, focusing your attention on bodily sensations or a specific word or object, and allowing your reactions to evolve as you meditate. .
Studies have suggested that the vibrations produced when rhythmically singing the syllable "om" temporarily deactivate the amygdala and other brain structures involved in processing emotions.
Research also suggests that meditation can:
- change your blood pressure
- reduce your sensitivity to pain
- affect your mood
It is also believed that vibrational energy can help relieve symptoms of:
- irritable bowel syndrome
- insomnia
- anxiety
- depression
Gratitude
Taking the time to notice and appreciate what is good in your life is often recommended as a way to raise your vibration.
According to health experts , expressing gratitude intentionally and regularly can:
- improve your psychological well-being
- reduce stress
- make you more inclined to participate in activities that promote your physical health.
Generosity
Generosity is believed to raise your vibrational energy because it is considered a prosocial behavior.
In addition to its potential effects on your vibrational energy, there is evidence that generosity could help you live longer.
A 2013 study found that generosity could extend your life by protecting you from the harmful effects of stress.
Diet _
Proponents of vibrational energy claim that it is important to eat foods that contain higher levels of energy.
It should be kept in mind that no research has been done to quantify the vibrations in food groups and many of these foods are simply valued for the health benefits they provide.
Vibrational energy advocates propose that a diet rich in the following foods, which are linked to many health benefits, can increase vibrational energy:
- leafy green vegetables
- fresh fruits
- legumes
- minimally processed cereals
- Honey
- spring water
- herbal teas
Vibrational energy advocates also suggest that the following foods are not considered to have valid vibrational energy and may also have negative effects on your health:
- meat
- fish
- poultry
- alcohol
- dairy products
- fried foods
- ultra-processed foods

Immersion in nature
To raise or reset your vibrational energy, get out into nature as often as possible.
Exposure to natural sound waves, light waves, negative ions, and green spaces are believed to benefit you.
Multiple studies have found that interacting with nature:
- reduces stress
- lowers blood pressure
- reduces fatigue
- reduces cortisol levels
- can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
A walk in the woods or a picnic next to a high-energy waterfall are also likely to increase your cognitive functions and sense of well-being.
Therapeutic touch, healing touch and Reiki
These three modalities are considered energy therapies . This means that a qualified therapist can use a hands-on approach to moving energy throughout your body (called your biofields) to improve your health.
Typically used alongside other conventional medical treatments, these therapies have been part of cancer treatment for decades.
Vibrational energy specialists recommend them to correct the flow of energy in and around your body.
Yoga
Yoga combines the benefits of breathing, meditation and rhythmic movements on the body and mind.
Little research has measured the effects of yoga on your vibrational energy.
But numerous studies show that regularly practicing rhythmic yoga poses increases the size, function, and connectivity of brain structures devoted to your cognitive abilities.
Yoga has also been shown to:
- improve blood sugar levels
- helps recover from muscle and bone problems
- improve cardiovascular health
- alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Healthy relationships
Energy experts agree that healthy relationships raise your vibration, while conflict has the opposite effect.
According to the National Institutes of Health, your relationships have a "powerful effect" on your health.
If you want to raise your vibration, reduce your stress levels, and live a longer, healthier life, it's important to develop a network of relationships.
You need friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and other social connections to:
- share your interests
- have brain-stimulating conversations
- give your life a sense of belonging and self-esteem.
Are there alternatives to vibrational energy?
In addition to the activities recommended above, you may want to learn about other integrative and complementary alternative medical therapies.
Each of these therapies is based in part on improving the flow of energy in your body and mind:
- acupuncture
- ayurvedic medicine
- chakra therapy
- qigong
- polarity therapy
- pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
- earthing
When should I see a doctor?
Raising your vibrational energy can have positive health effects, but it should not be used alone to treat mental or physical health issues.
If you have physical, mental or emotional symptoms that are affecting your quality of life, it is important to resort to conventional treatments and integrative or complementary therapies.
Ask a healthcare professional how to combine vibrational energy therapies with targeted medical treatment to relieve your symptoms and treat any underlying health conditions.
To remember
The vibrations that occur at the molecular level in your body may be tiny, but they could have a seismic effect on your health.
The field of energy medicine is booming. If you would like to deepen your understanding of how energy and vibration influence your health, speak to an integrative medicine specialist in your area.
While there isn't much research to explain the benefits and harms of vibrational energy, many techniques associated with vibrational energy therapy have well-documented health benefits.
Deep breathing, meditation, yoga and meditation can boost your vibrational energy. Interacting with nature, eating a good diet, developing healthy relationships, and practicing gratitude and generosity can also help.
If you would like to work with a healthcare professional to raise your vibration, a Reiki or Therapeutic Touch practitioner may be good options.
