Meet People at Their Frequency and the Universe Meets You at Yours
The core misunderstanding: Support is not correction
For a long time, I thought being helpful meant solving problems. If someone vented to me, Iâd immediately try to solve for xâoffer logic, alternative perspectives, or point out what they were missing.
But most people arenât asking to be corrected. Theyâre asking to be met. Theyâre asking for acknowledgment, agreement, validation, or emotional alignment. When you skip that step and jump straight to solutions, youâre operating at a different frequency than they are.
And hereâs the key insight: the universe responds to frequency, not intention. If you consistently meet people where they are instead of dragging them where you think they should be, you train reality to do the same for you.
Rule #1: Meet people at their frequency â not where you think they should be
Every interaction has a frequency. When someone is venting, their frequency is emotional, not logical. If you respond with logic, you create mismatch. If you respond with validation, you create resonance.
This doesnât mean youâre lying, agreeing with falsehoods, or abandoning your values. It means youâre responding to whatâs actually being requested in the moment.
How to practice it
- Listen for the request: Are they asking for advice, or are they asking to be heard?
- Match before leading: Acknowledge their emotion before offering perspective.
- Drop the upgrade impulse: You donât need to elevate them mid-conversation.
- Stay present: Respond to whatâs happening now, not what you think should happen later.
Rule #2: Give people what they want â the universe mirrors that behavior
Once I stopped trying to change how people saw situations and instead gave them what they wantedâagreement, empathy, understandingâI noticed something immediately: interactions became smoother, lighter, and more positive.
People felt safe. Conversations flowed. And without trying, I started receiving the same energy back from life. Less resistance. More cooperation. More ease.
The universe works the same way. It doesnât respond to what you say you wantâit responds to how you treat reality. If you meet others with acceptance instead of resistance, reality meets you the same way.
How to practice it
- Lead with validation: âThat makes sense.â âI get why youâd feel that way.â
- Name the emotion: Put words to what theyâre feeling.
- Delay problem-solving: If advice isnât requested, donât offer it.
- Notice the return: Pay attention to how often life meets you with less friction.
Rule #3: Stop trying to save people â thatâs an identity trap
Trying to save people often comes from identity, not love. Itâs the unconscious belief that your value comes from being needed, being right, or being the one with answers.
But saving creates hierarchy. It puts you above them. And hierarchy kills frequency alignment.
When you let go of the savior role, something powerful happens: you stay regulated, grounded, and clear. You stop absorbing other peopleâs emotional chaos. And your energy becomes magnetic instead of depleted.
How to practice it
- Notice urgency: The need to fix is often discomfort with uncertainty.
- Hold your center: You can be present without being responsible.
- Let people process: Growth happens when someone feels safe, not pressured.
- Choose neutrality: Calm presence is more powerful than clever advice.
Rule #4: Validation is not agreement â itâs alignment
A lot of people resist validation because they think it means saying someone is âright.â It doesnât. Validation simply means acknowledging their internal experience.
You can validate someoneâs feelings without adopting their beliefs. You can meet them emotionally without living in their worldview. That distinction keeps your frequency clean.
How to practice it
- Reflect feelings: âThat sounds frustrating.â
- Normalize experience: âAnyone would feel that way.â
- Ask before advising: âDo you want my thoughts, or just someone to listen?â
- Stay unattached: Donât need them to change for you to be okay.
Closing Reflection
You donât influence reality by forcing changeâyou influence it by how you show up. Meet people at their frequency. Give them what theyâre asking for emotionally. Release the need to fix, save, or correct. When you do, you teach the universe exactly how you want to be treated: with understanding, ease, and alignment.
