An interesting question for me is regarding the best way to raise your vibration.
Inelia Benz says that the best way she has found to raise a person's vibration is to get them to notice and then process their fears. Her fear processing exercise tells you to feel the fear, let it exist, let it expand, let it speak to you, bless it, thank it, accept it, until it dissolves away into the creator basically.
This is interesting because psychodynamic psychologists suggest the same thing. A psychologist might tell you to improve your emotional state ("vibration") by facing your shame, sitting with it, accepting it, being mindful of it, exploring it, talking about it, talking TO it, and so on. Psychodynamic psychotherapists see this as processing the emotion. Exposure therapy and related therapies like EMDR do the same thing essentially -- feel the emotion, pay attention to it, let it exist, accept it.
When people do these procedures, if they are processing shame for instance, they will feel ashamed. The feeling of shame grows and grows and they feel very very ashamed, theoretically lowering their vibration.
After feeling enough shame, and properly letting it exist (using effective therapy) then the shame dissipates and the person is happier, less neurotic, less compulsive.
So the raising of the emotional state ("vibration") actually requires going more deeply into the negative emotional states and processing them. This can be seen as temporary suffering for the longer term benefit.
I wonder if we could nail down vibration to something more concrete?
How would you measure someone's vibration through observation of their emotions, thoughts, or behaviour? As opposed to trying to figure out where the metaphorical serpent's head is in the metaphorical energy body.

Emotions relate to how we respond to the unconscious, which does change based on one's vibration. Vibration, in the sense of the individual, is basically where the 'serpent' rests - and is more fundamentally about awareness in general. It is essentially indicative of what is capable of being accepted and processed, because the higher always transcends yet also includes the lower.
