Find Your Own Tribe, There is to Thrive!

The Science of Energy Matching and Mismatch

Have you ever heard the phrases “find your own tribe”, “your tribe is the source of energy and breakthrough”? What exactly is a tribe, how do we find one, and how does it relate to energy matching?

Since the Stone Age, people have lived in groups for safety. These groups then grew into power empires, leading to wars and conflicts. Then, more shifts happened in human evolutionary history. At first, their tribe was a group of people who lived in the same cave. Now, our communities don't mean people nearby, and the term could have a thousand meanings. They are energetically related to you in terms of life experience, conceptualization of the events around us, and who can open and share the heart comfortably. This aligns with what social psychology calls “Ingroup Favouritism” and “Outgroup Derogation.”

Furthermore, the link between Cognitive Dissonance and Tribal Conceptualization suggests that ingroups maintain harmony of external events such as political opinions, life encounters, struggles and overcomings, and ingroups (your tribe) help you reduce cognitive dissonance. The tribe also supports emotional contagion; therefore, it helps to reduce stress hormones (cortisol) and which consequently recharges your energy.

Thus, to find your tribe in this modern, energetic sense, you either actively search for people who came across similar events, struggles, and external outlooks, or the universe will facilitate meeting them through vibrational synchronicity. This is the reason why you stay in one vibration at one point and you move to the next at another point.

Simply because they are the ones who will recharge you when you need it, meaning you feel energized and fulfilled in your tribe, whereas you will feel depleted in another vibration. Consider the difference between feminine energy and masculine energy. Neither is inherently better, but if your energy is predominantly receptive and intuitive (feminine) and you are exposed for a sustained period to action-oriented, logical discussions (masculine), you are likely to feel depleted. The exhaustion occurs because these energies are vibrating differently, not because one is superior or inferior to another.
