Have you ever walked into a room and felt a shift in the air before a single word was spoken? Maybe you entered a space where something just felt off. A taut tension hangs like dark clouds over the room, invisible but undeniable. Alternatively, have you ever stepped into a home or a café or joined a conversation that felt undeniably warm, peaceful, and uplifting?
We often underestimate the unseen forces that shape our experiences. But the truth is, energy is real—not just in the physical world where atoms vibrate and sound waves travel but also in the way we exist, interact, and influence each other.
We are a walking-talking frequency.
When I started managing people many years ago, I learned that my mood and actions had as much effect on my employees as my words. Each day before anyone else came in, I had to take a few moments to focus on myself to figure out how to project a positive vibe because our thoughts, emotions, and presence don’t just affect us; they ripple outward, shaping the spaces we enter and the people we meet.
You don’t have to say a word to change a room’s energy—you just have to show up.
The Science of Energy and Emotion
While some might call this feeling intuition, science offers another explanation. Studies in neuroscience and psychology confirm that humans are susceptible to emotional and energetic cues. We mirror the moods of those around us—sometimes unconsciously. This is why:
- Stress is contagious. When someone is anxious, their energy can raise the cortisol levels of those nearby, even without direct interaction.
- Calm is grounding. A centered, peaceful presence can slow breathing rates in others, naturally lowering tension.
- Joy spreads effortlessly. Have you ever noticed how one person’s laughter can spark a wave of laughter in a group? That’s emotional resonance in action.
This concept is supported by research into heart coherence—a state in which our heart rate, emotions, and thoughts are in harmony. When a person is calm and present, their nervous system influences those around them, creating an environment where others feel at ease.
It’s not magic.
It’s biology. It’s consciousness. It’s connection.
You Are a Tuning Fork for the World Around You
Mira stepped onto the crowded subway, clutching her bag as the stress of the morning pressed against her. The air around her was thick. People with furrowed brows, tense shoulders, and narrowed eyes tried not to notice her. As the train jolted forward, a man in a suit muttered a curse after his coffee sloshed onto his sleeve. Besides him, a woman groaned audibly, rolling her eyes at the scene.
Mira felt the pull of the collective exhaustion, each person’s irritation humming in the air like an electric field, ready to zap the next person who moved. She knew she had a choice.
Absorb it, become it… or shift it.
Instead of allowing the tension to consume her, she relaxed her shoulders and eased her tight grip on her bag. She exhaled deep and slow, imagining herself a tuning fork standing amid a field of vibrating flowers. Allowing a small smile to play at the edges of her lips, she focused on calmness and harmony instead of chaos.
The shift was slight. Almost imperceptible. But then— the man with the coffee sighed, shaking his head with a half-smile instead of another curse. The woman who had groaned so loudly caught Mira’s eye and returned her subtle grin.
Further down the car, an older gentleman settled deeper into his seat, loosening his hands from the tight fold in his lap. Beside him, a child who had been fussing burbled with laughter. One person by one person, the effect of the tuning fork rippled outward.
The air was lighter when the train pulled into the next station, and Mira stepped off, knowing that no one would remember her. But the energy she left behind would remain and travel with those who remained on the train. As a result, someone would walk into their office with a smile instead of a mutter, and another would greet passersby with a bit more patience.
She was just one person, yet she had shifted the frequency of a space full of strangers.
That was enough.
The Power of Presence
In every interaction—whether with family, friends, or strangers, in person, on the phone, in a meeting, or on social media—we have a choice:
🔹 Do we add to the noise and chaos?
🔹 Or do we become an example of stillness, a moment of peace in someone’s day?
Our presence is our impact.
The most influential people in history weren’t just those with loud voices but those with a commanding presence—a quiet inner stillness that made others lean in. It wasn’t only their words that brought change. It was their presence.
And that power is within all of us.
Simple Ways to Raise Your Frequency & Uplift Others
Raising your vibration isn’t about forced positivity or pretending life is perfect. It’s about choosing your presence—moment by moment, day by day.
Here are a few simple ways to consciously shift your energy and improve the world around you. (Remember, a single drop of water makes rings that can turn into waves!)
🌱 Breathe before you enter a space. Pause for one deep breath before entering a room, a meeting, or a conversation. Set an intention: How do I want to show up?
🌱 Be the calm in the storm. Hold onto the peace in your center when others are stressed or reactive. Instead of absorbing their energy, be the grounding force that affects change.
🌱 Speak with presence. Before responding, pause. Let your words be intentional and genuine rather than rushed or reactive.
🌱 Practice gratitude in real time. Instead of listing things you’re grateful for hours or days later, express gratitude at the moment. Give a coworker a ‘well-done’ when they least expect it. Thank a service provider for the job they’re doing. Step back and smile instead of jumping in.
🌱 Protect your own energy. Walk away from toxicity and negativity.
🌱 Choose kindness, even when it’s hard. The easiest way to shift the energy around you is through small acts of love—listening, offering a kind word, or simply being fully present with someone.
These may seem small, but the ripples are real.
The Collective Impact of Individual Energy
You might be thinking, What difference does my energy make in a world this chaotic?
More than you realize.
Imagine this:
☀️ A teacher walks into a classroom with patience instead of exhaustion—suddenly, the students feel safe and open to learning.
☀️ A doctor enters a patient’s room with warmth instead of detachment—and the person in the hospital bed feels more hopeful, more seen.
☀️ A stranger on the street offers a smile instead of indifference, breaking someone’s cycle of loneliness.
Now, imagine this happening on a global scale.
What if more people became aware of their frequency and that collective peace starts with individual peace?
What if enough people made the choice to show up differently?
The world wouldn’t need to change first—we would be the change.
This is why your energy matters.
This is why The Power of One isn’t just a concept—it’s a call to action.
What Frequency Will You Carry Today?
As you move through your day, take a moment to check-in:
💫 What energy am I carrying?
💫 What do I want to bring into the spaces I enter?
💫 How can I be a ripple of peace, even in small ways?
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have all the answers.
You only have to be mindful. Because your presence—your frequency—is felt more than you know. And in a world full of noise, one clear, calm presence can change everything.
