Given that everything has a vibrational frequency, including ourselves, it makes sense that healing modalities have frequencies that can impact how we feel. But we all have a different energetic vibrational field, so this type of healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. The spiritual vibration test below can help you determine which method is right for you.
Vibrational energy healing—also known as vibrational medicine, spiritual vibration, harmonic healing, and harmonic resonance healing—influences the body and energy field by changing its frequency. Whether you utilize tapping, color, light, sound, chanting, flower essences, or essential oils, you’ll want to find a technique that vibrates with your own energetic field.

Your vibrational healing style is Aromatherapy.
Whether you’re looking for peace of mind, mental clarity, stress relief, or to balance your mood and body, you love breathing in the aromas of life and they can be very healing for you. You can benefit from aromatherapy, using the natural or essential oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots, or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical wellbeing.
When it comes to vibrational healing, the essential oils in aromatherapy activate the smell receptors in your nose, which send messages directly to your brain’s limbic system. Inhaling essential oils triggers a pleasant “natural relaxation response” that helps you sleep better, reduces stress and joint pain, and even improves blood circulation. Aromatherapy can be used in the following ways: direct inhalation, through a vaporizer or humidifier, in a perfume, and with aromatherapy diffusers.
Your vibrational healing style involves Emotional Energy Release Techniques.
If you want to balance your emotions, free yourself from pain and limiting beliefs, and bring your body into harmony, you might thrive with Emotional Release Techniques, including acupuncture, energy medicine, tapping, and massage. These methods focus on the energetic vibrations of your body and aim to harmonize them, creating a powerful holistic healing technique that effectively resolves a range of issues, including stress, anxiety, phobias, emotional disorders, chronic pain, weight control, and limiting beliefs.
You might enjoy tapping, which is based on the combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. The practice consists of tapping with your fingertips on specific meridian points while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations. Doing this helps calm the nervous system, rewire the brain to respond in healthier ways, and restore the body’s balance of energy. You may also enjoy network spinal analysis (NSA), where a network practitioner provides specific, gentle touch on the spine to update and cue the nervous system and improve quality of life. NSA can help to release tension and trauma stored in the spine and nervous system. All of the emotional energetic release vibrational healing modalities focus on bringing you into balance by using the energetic meridians on your body to initiate innate self-healing abilities.
Your vibrational healing style is Sound Healing.
Have you ever been in a funky mood and put on a favorite song and noticed that you started to feel better? That’s the effect of sound healing. But it’s more than just listening to good music—it’s an ancient healing technique that uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into a state of vibrational balance and harmony. It balances and clears the mind, and leads to a renewed sense of purpose, wellbeing, calm, and focus.
Sound healing therapies, also known as sound baths, utilize singing bowls, gongs, Tibetan bowls, vocal chanting, tuning forks, and drums. These work because the frequencies slow down your brain waves to a deeply restorative state, which activates the body’s system of self-healing.
You’ll find great harmony with sound healing, as you “bathe” in the soothing sounds and vibrations.
Your vibrational healing style is Earth Energy.
The earth, Gaia, has profound wisdom, natural grounding vibrations, and healing capacities. When we align with elements from the earth, we bring our bodies into ultimate harmony and alignment.
Crystals are one earth energy option, which healers, shamans, and priests have long used for their unique and special properties. Crystals are set on and around the body, which aids in drawing out any negative energy. You can also use crystals in your daily life by working with their energetic vibration. Because they come from the earth, they inspire a grounded healing process that helps balance your body, mind and soul. It is widely believed crystals vibrate at the same pitch as humans—such that the resonance between the stone and the human either combats the vibration of the illness or amplifies that of health. You can work with crystal energy to amplify and balance the energy in the room and to assist in channeling universal life energy.
Flower essences provide another earth energy option. Botanical herbs and flowering plants have been used since the time of ancient Egypt and in many indigenous communities for healing emotional imbalances. Flower essences, also known as flower remedies, are bioenergetic remedies containing the unique energetic vibration of plants, which have healing effects on mental-emotional wellbeing. Not only can they help you heal negative emotional patterns, move through energetic blockages, and better manage everyday life stressors, but restoring inner calm and balance on the mental, emotional, and energetic levels frees up resources and energy for the physical body to heal.
Finally, grounding is a good healing practice for this style of spiritual vibration healing. The earth has an infinite supply of free electrons, so when a person is connected to it and grounded, walking barefoot outside or sitting in the grass, those electrons naturally flow between the earth and the human body, reducing free radicals and eliminating any static electrical charge. Just like the sun constantly provides us with important energy, nutrients, and vitamins, the earth is a source of subtle energy that provides important elements that contribute to optimum health.
The spiritual vibration test reveals for everyone that everything is energy. When energy is uneven or blocked in the body and aura field, it can show up as illness, dis-ease and troubling emotions. With this concept as a driving force, vibrational healing aims to activate the body’s energies toward equilibrium and balance.
