Love or Above
To deliberately raise one’s emotional/‘vibrational’ state from lower frequencies (fear, anger, shame) toward ‘Love or Above’, using guided meditations, visualizations, and short clearing exercises — claimed to dissolve inner blocks and increase one’s magnetism for desired outcomes.
Love or Above in 5 lines: (1) Notice your current low-frequency feeling.
(2) Run a short clearing — attention, breath, intention to release.
(3) Raise state via a love/gratitude meditation and picturing what you want as present.
(4) Anchor the “Love or Above” feeling as your set-point.
(5) Repeat to build the baseline. It’s mood/state regulation; the “vibration attracts abundance” claim is unsupported — and watch for toxic positivity and self-blame.
What it is
“Love or Above” is Christie Marie Sheldon’s program for deliberately lifting your inner state toward love and above on her vibrational scale. The premise: everything — including thoughts and emotions — “vibrates” at a frequency; lower states (fear, anger, guilt) keep you stuck, while reaching “Love or Above” (she pegs this around 500 on a Hawkins-style scale) clears inner blocks and makes you “magnetic” to the outcomes, people, and synchronicities you want.
The practical product is a toolkit of short experiences — guided meditations, visualizations, and “clearing” exercises — meant to raise your vibration quickly and on demand.
The Method
The program is a set of exercises rather than one fixed drill; the common moves:
- Locate your current state. Notice where you are emotionally/“vibrationally” right now — name the lower-frequency feeling (fear, frustration, lack).
- Run a clearing. Use a short guided clearing exercise to “release” the block — typically a combination of intention, focused attention on the feeling, breathing, and a statement of release. Sheldon notes people may feel sleepy, energized, tearful, yawn, or feel nothing — all framed as “processing.”
- Raise the vibration. Use a guided meditation or visualization to shift up the scale — generating the felt sense of love, gratitude, and appreciation, picturing desired outcomes already present, and amplifying the positive feeling.
- Anchor “Love or Above.” Hold the elevated state, intending to make it your baseline / set-point rather than a one-off.
- Repeat to build the set-point. The toolkit is meant to be used regularly so the higher state becomes more habitual and you “operate” from there.

Source & Lineage
Christie Marie Sheldon is an intuitive life-coach and author whose Love or Above became one of Mindvalley’s best-known programs.
Its lineage is explicit: David Hawkins’ “Map of Consciousness” (the numbered scale of emotional “calibrations,” with courage at 200 and love at 500), the law of attraction / New Thought idea that inner state magnetizes outer results, and the broad energy-clearing tradition of releasing “blocks.” Within this library it sits with other state-priming and raise-your-state practices (see cross-links), distinguished by its vibrational-scale framing.
Common refinements
Toxic positivity. “Stay high-vibe” can become suppression or shaming of normal, useful negative emotions. Feel them first; don’t bypass.
- Self-blame. “You attract your reality” curdles into blaming yourself (or others) for misfortune, illness, or abuse. Reject that move.
- Chasing a number. Don’t fixate on “calibrating” at 500; use the practice to shift state, not to score yourself.
- Crediting the vibration. If things improve, that’s plausibly your changed behaviour and openness — not a magnetic frequency.
- Replacing action/treatment. Raising your state is not a substitute for practical steps or medical care.
