Vibrate Higher Daily: Live Your Power

Product Information

This is not a rallying cry for real hip hop, or a guidebook on how to be more conscious in the way you live. This is not a manifesto handed down from the tops of mountains. This is simply me, in all my glory, pain, splendor, and shame. This is about the people and the events that shaped me. The stories about the places that raised me in equal measure with my parents. This is the revelation I have been running towards since I first put a 16 bar verse together. Writing this book has shown me what I've always known but was either too scared or too proud to share anywhere outside of the box that is a hip hop song.

Everything in the universe is connected. This means that what we focus on energetically is what we will attract into our lives. If we focus on positive things, we will attract positive experiences. If we focus on negative things, we will attract negative experiences. We can change the sounds we hear by changing the way we make vibrations. If the guitar player keeps the string long, the vibration is slow. This means the sound wave is long and spread out. We can say the sound has a low pitch.

How can I help you the most?

You may crave a deeper relationship with your blood family. You may desire to resolve unresolved issues from the past with peace and love. You may also find that your furry animals become your best friends. You may even crave spending more and more time with them. On many visits to Prospect Park with my father and brother, we would stop to watch Little League baseball games. My father enjoyed watching all sports and was a fan of every New York team, but baseball was his game, and the New York Yankees were his favorite. Each year from spring to fall we would watch every game together. Knowing how much my father loved the sport made my brother and me want to play it, and soon we were members of St. Francis Xavier’s Little League program. Everything you consume is prana, or life force energy. If you eat a lot of “dead” energy (in the form of meat, fried, or processed food), you will lower your vibration. By eating nutrient-dense, prana-rich foods, like local and organic fruits and vegetables, your body literally absorbs these things, making you more light, vibrant, and alive. High-vibration food makes a person’s vibration higher. In our experiment, the bongo drum makes a noise by vibrating the skin that is stretched over the drum. That causes vibrations in the air that travel as a wave. It reaches our ears, then our brains make sense of it as a sound. You fill yourself with love by surrounding yourself with the people, places, and things you love You know that ultimately love is the cure for anything that seems to be distracting you from the now.

How are you vibrating right now? How about the world? The following are 12 ways you can help raise your vibration frequency.My father and mother also had many friends, mostly other teachers, and they would come over often. My parents’ apartment seemed like the place to be, and they were always hosting. As a college-radio DJ, my father had amassed an impressive vinyl collection spanning many decades and genres. He would play these records at these get-togethers. When it got late and the kids were sent to bed, the song selection would switch up. I remember hearing party records like Dillinger’s “Cocaine” or Shorty Long’s “Function at the Junction” seep up thru the ceiling into my bedroom while I was pretending to be asleep. Straining my ears to make out the rhythms of the songs that my parents played after I went to bed was what took me down the music rabbit hole. I was fascinated that different songs created very different moods. At this young age, my primary interests were still baseball and nature, but music was beginning to flirt with me and would soon become my truest love. Talib Kweli is one of the most important voices and minds of our generation.
