The media and what we consume might have led some of us to believe that getting to a higher vibration requires only hard work.
While commitment and practice are essential, what we sometimes are unaware off is that just as our physical bodies ache after a workout, our spiritual selves will do the same thing. When that happens, it manifests itself in the physical.
If you just got into an intense spiritual practice and started feeling unwell, it could be that you are displaying the physical symptoms of a higher vibration.
Don’t run to the doctor just yet if you have the following symptoms. What is happening is that whatever had your chakra blocked is being cleaned out of your system.
