Hey everybody,
I have a question that might occur a bit strange, I hope someone recognizes it...
This is about my higher level of sensitivity, especially in times when I used a lot of QT (f.e. when one of my animals is ill).
I already sleep in this house (an 2-room apartment surrounded by other apartments) with earplugs in because there is this - to me - loud noise of low frequency that keeps me awake. (Before I moved here I never had a problem falling asleep)
Also, this same noise makes my bed 'buzz' slightly, or vibrate. It's so subtile that I find it really hard to make it all clear to other people. Usually I just listen to my own breath and I will fall asleep soon enough.
But every time I get into this higher sensitivity level through using QT, the buzzing gets too strong to get to sleep... I feel myself vibrating with the low sound going through the bed into my body, and it's annoying and stressfull and does not feel good at all.

Does anyone recognize this growing sensitivity to vibrations that are really disturbing? And, especially: does anyone have tips or clues for me how to handle this?

Hi, Leia -- Could it be tinnitus? It can present in a wide variety of perceived sounds, from low to high, trembling, swishing, whistling, and humming. Mine is something between a swish and a whistle, very annoying at times, and when you hear it is at night when other room noise is gone. I don't hear it during the day because there is ambient sound, for the most part, & it is masked. But oy! when I go to bed, THEN I hear it, you betcha. Tinnitus can show up at any age, but the older you get, the worse it gets, & there isn't much that can be done for it medically. Energy work can be effective.

Pinched nerves in the neck or shoulder can cause strange sounds to be heard, as well as headache disorders such as migraine, and some seizure disorders & brain tumors can be associated with sounds. A medical checkup is a good idea to rule things out if any of those are of concern.

Could you "ask" the sound what it is, and why it appears? If the sound appeared after you moved to a new place, is there something in the environment that vibrates? Fridge, generator, heating or AC equipment, water pump, hot-water heat? If it comes thru the bed, it could be something in the basement or neighborhood that vibrates & telegraphs thru the building.

Do you live in a a vortex area, where energy is concentrated, such as Sedona? There are various places on Earth where low-frequency humming sounds are heard by many, people who are sensitive like you. Is there a major street or highway nearby? Traffic sets up vibrations that can be felt in odd ways in nearby areas. Traffic vibration can easily be felt in buildings.

Different structures & buildings transmit vibration in different ways. Are you in an earthquake area? Do you live under or very near a high-voltage electricity transmission line? (They hum.) Radio, TV or microwave tower? Cell tower? On or near a rail line? Are you near a military base or airport? Is there a subway under your building? Light rail line nearby?

I personally have not heard of a person having higher sensitivity that resulted in annoying sound or vibration, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Send the sound some QT life-force energy. Do some Core work on it, if you know it. Try a "white noise" machine...that works for millions at night.

Do a visualization, where you see the volume knob on your radio in your mind's eye, and very slowly, turn the volume down. Do it slowly, without willing or forcing the volume to go down---just turn the knob and observe what happens, with no expectations. Allow the sound to be turned down, don't force it. If the dial becomes sticky or gets stuck, try something else & go back to the dial at a later time...you will probably be able to turn it further with later attempts.

Give the sound or vibration a color. See if one of the chakra colors makes it better, worse, or has no effect. Play, experiment. If one of the colors makes it worse, then consider that you may have a chakra issue or block that needs to be addressed.

Give the sound/vibration some motion. (Convert sound to another form of energy & try to work with that--change it to light, or motion, or heat, or pressure, or flow.) Use your mind's eye to see it as a ball of energy that gradually moves away from you. Send it to the sky, or ground it in the Earth. Put it in a strongbox or a box of cotton fluff & slowly close the lid. Visualization is so powerful! Give it to the ocean with the intention of sending some healing energy to the creatures there. It's all imagination, and it's powerful and fun. Bless it, thank it, and tell it that you are releasing it to give energy to another person or creature for their benefit, & wish it Godspeed.

OK, I've given you some homework, lol.

Well, those are some suggestions & personal thoughts...I hope something will ring a bell, (pun intended,) to resolve this for you.

Love to all.

Dear Alice!
Thank you so much for your wonderful reply! Especially the last part really gave me the new and positive look that I hoped to get by placing my question on the forum!

I live in - always intense - Amsterdam, and yes, I live in a house that is not only directly surrounded by other houses, but also by main streets all around the block (all 50 metres away from me) and there is a lot of automatic ventilation used. After shutting down my own to try, I know it is not the one in my house that gives the vibration. It can be any kind of machinery that causes the noise, lower tones carry so far that it's very hard to localize it.
The ear plugs help, they stop the sound a just enough, and when I still hear it coming through, I can more easily focus on the sound of my own breath, and I usually fall asleep easily when I go to bed in time before 'it' starts.
Because it is not only hearing hearing the vibration, but also lying in bed with this vibrating body that makes me a bit desperate, and that is where the energy work comes in!
The night I wrote the question I had a wonderful QTsession with somebody, and I was still in a very high vibrationary level, dozing away peacefully after watching someone heal so beautifully. Then I suddenly felt how the noise volume was rising (like every night, that is why I am pretty sure it is not tinnitus, its volume raises suddenly between 1.30 and 2 AM, and I hear a small painting softly trembling against the wall) The fysical trembling of the bed immediately affected the feeling in my belly, in my heart, in my head... I knew that my level of sensitivity made the whole experience stronger.

So thank you so much for you visualization 'homework'!!! I will try it out and see what will help me stay stay asleep.
This noise/vibration will be very hard to deal with and therefore the best practice I could get!

Love,
Nathalie

You're so welcome, Nathalie. Let us know how it goes!

Just had a thought: Ask your neighbors and nearby merchants if they know about anything that is turned on at the hours you feel the vibe--1 am to 2 am. Is there any city work such as street cleaning, for instance? Any water-pumping functions? Does your building or street have a sump pump that operates at night? It is very telling that a picture on the wall is vibrating.

Love to you.

Leia, I sent you a PM

Thanks grrlls

(I spent last night at my parents house - in a still standing bed... hmmmm )
I will ask the bar on the corner how they use their machinery, it might indeed be coming from them. I've been thinking back and since they reopened as new owners the trembling was indeed getting stronger!

Thank you both for your support, I really needed it in the last few days to have someone to tell it to without feeling just complaining and powerless, if you know what I mean!

I wish you all the best, I'll let you know what I find out in the process!

Hi Leia,
My sensorium is also much more sensitive to vibration and sound when my energy system is amped up, either on purpose or incidentally. It is generally very pleasant to experience life this way, although folks like us also tend to pick up on all sorts of vibes, both energetic (including emotional/psychological/spiritual) and physical. Makes for great intuition, but BOY does slightly out of tune music get to me!

Regardless of the source of the vibration, I think what is really going to help you is for your bedframe to be insulated from it. If the head of your bed is against the wall, move it a couple of inches away. And some kind of vibration isolation/insulation material between the floor and the legs of the bed where the bed contacts the floor should stop or reduce the vibration and hum conducting through the bedframe.

Here is one such material:

Good luck!

Hi Alfred!
Thanks so much for your reply, I was starting to get a bit concerned if I would be the only one experiencing more sensitivity after amping up, especially because for me it's an important tool I use while usong QT!
So, what you say, real fun and exciting but also sometimes such a bother...!

Since my post things are going fast. Tomorrow the landlord is coming over to watch! And tonight I asked in the cafe downstairs if they had a machine they turn on after closing and... he told me that he turns everything OFF when he closes but... earlier tonight one of my neighbours had come over there and asked him the same question, (so much for coincidence) and she, like me, had been bothered by it till even 3AM!!! I'm not alone in this!

By the way, it feels good to finally be one of 'folks like us', it's hard to talk about these things without sounding crazy or 'problematic' to people who don't share that kind of sensitivity.

Oh and a friend is getting me some thick rubber isolation material to put under the legs of the bed. He just lost a painfully bended backbone, I might lose a vibrating bed... hmm... sounds like a good deal to me .


For all the GOOD vibes!
Nathalie
