Clothes that Heal
In the modern world we are living in today, people become more and more aware of not only what they eat, what they drink, what they breathe, but also what they wear. From having to switch fast fashion to more sustainable wardrobe, most of us are willing to invest in staple pieces that will last way longer than one season, will not harm the planet while in the making process, and will be gentle on our skin.
Everything in the universe is composed of atoms that vibrate at different speeds. This vibration is referred to as frequency. Although it is definitely not something one thinks of upon waking every morning, frequencies can me measurable and have impact on us. Most studies indicate that the frequency of a healthy human body rests at 100, while lowering that number can lead to various physical and psychological symptoms implying a disruption in the body’s natural balance.
What does that have to do with fashion? Well, it is proven that fabrics such as polyester, acrylic, nylon, and spandex have a poor environmental impact, hold the lowest vibrational frequency, and might even be energetically draining. From skin irritations and allergies to the impact on temperature regulation to the accumulation of static electricity with chemical exposure and toxicity in between, those petrochemical-derived materials offer no more than just a cute look with minimum benefit to humans and planet Earth as a whole.
But things are not all that bad. Thanks to designers like Stella McCartney, Eileen Fisher, Mara Hoffman, and Christy Dawn pioneering sustainable and ethical fashion by using organic cotton, linen, and wool allowing consumers to have better options by producing eco and human-friendly clothing. Those fabrics have the highest frequency of 5,000, notably higher than the human body frequency. That suggests an impact of energy to its wearer with a potential boost of vitality and overall well-being.
To practice mindfulness, to make better choices that have more positive effects, and to preserve nature and our health by seeking better alternatives for our fashion wardrobes, I encourage you to seek that silver lining, that balance between looking good AND feeling good. So next time you find yourself shopping for new apparel put its agenda on your agenda and notice how your life will improve immediately!
