How do you send someone positive vibes?
Meditation coach and intuitive reader Misia Welters says that sending positive vibes is a way to send your good intentions to someone. It’s a way to show you care about someone and hope good things come their way, especially when they're going through difficult times. Here are other ways to share good vibes:
- Bloom where you are planted.
- Own your power and know your worth.
- You're powerful, beautiful, brilliant, and majestic.
- Be fearless, be resilient.
- "Choose to be optimistic, it feels better." –Dali Lama
Steps
What does it mean to send someone positive vibes?
-
1For some people, sending positive vibes simply means you're thinking about them. Welters says she sees this as “sending someone good intentions or having good intentions for that person.”[7] Many people use "sending positive vibes" in the same way they might say "You're in my prayers"—as a way to say that someone’s in your thoughts and you're hoping good things come their way (but with less of a religious intent).
-
2For others, sending positive vibes is a literal action. In metaphysics, vibes—short for vibrations—are real measurements of our energy. People who follow metaphysics believe all of our energies are connected, and that "sending positive vibes" involves directing positive energy towards others to help raise their vibration level through manifestation.
- "We're manifesting and creating our lives every moment of every day," says manifestation expert Jennifer McVey, Cht, "with everything that we do and everything that we think, that we say, and whatever. So, everything that's happening in our world right now is happening because we create it."[8]
- It's no wonder that "sending positive vibes" is such a common way to express care for others: as Welters observes, "High-vibration people tend to be more empathetic, open, and vulnerable."[9]
- Welters adds that if you want to raise someone else’s intention, “keep your own mood and state of mind elevated when you are with [that] person—energy is contagious.”[10]
FAQs

1Are positive vibes real? It depends on who you ask! For some people, "sending good vibes" just means "wishing the best," but for others, like astrologer and intuitive healer Tracey McKee, vibrations are a literal thing: "We're all vibration, we're all energy," she explains.[11]EXPERT TIPJennifer McVey is a Spiritualist, Seer, and the Spiritual Director of Spiritual Answers and Solutions. With more than 22 years of experience, she specializes in manifesting, ghosts and spirit attachments, hypnotherapy, channeling, and spiritually based life coaching.

2Are "positive vibes" the same as "thoughts and prayers"? For many people, "Sending positive vibes your way!" is essentially another way to say "You're in my thoughts and prayers." Many people use these phrases in an encouraging and sincere way when someone they know is going through a difficult time. It's a way to acknowledge another person's pain, even if you're not totally sure what to say—and it's often so hard to know what to say in moments like that!
- However, for many people, "thoughts and prayers" has become a hollow phrase due to overuse, especially during times of unspeakable tragedy, such as after a mass shooting.
- Some people may prefer to use "sending positive vibes" in its place, but for others, "sending positive vibes" may also come across as dismissive or as empty words.
- "There is a real danger in this field of metaphysics of…toxic positivity," McKee muses, "where we just focus on the positive…. If you want a higher vibration, look at yourself and do the work."[12] In other words, sharing positive vibes is about more than just saying empty words, but making sure your beliefs and actions line up.
-
3What's the difference between "positive vibes" and "praying"? For some people, "praying" and "sending good vibes" mean essentially the same thing: that they're thinking of you and wishing you the best. But for others, "sending positive vibes" is a spiritual, but not religious, way of expressing love and concern.
- "Sending positive vibes" can be a more inclusive way of offering support to people who may not be religious, as well as a more authentic way of expressing care if you yourself aren't religious.
