good vibrations

Upbeat felt atmosphere

Good vibrations are positive feelings or energy sensed from a person, place, or situation.

The phrase comes from the idea that moods and atmospheres have an almost physical quality you can pick up on: I'm getting good vibrations from this interview.

Popularized by the 1966 Beach Boys song, it shortened to good vibes in casual speech.
