Emotional Frequency
Your thoughts and emotions carry a frequency, vibration, and wave.
Thoughts are electric.
Emotions are magnetic.
They can vibrate high in the energy of peace, bliss, and love; and they can vibrate low in the energy of guilt, shame, and anger.
Measuring Emotions: The Hawkins Scale
Dr. David Hawkins has popularized this fact in his extensive research, and has even developed his own scale of measurement called the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness. He developed the measurement for this scale as 1 – 1000, representing the level of reality we are operating in our human consciousness.
As a scientist, Hawkins claims the actual numbers themselves are not as significant as the relationship between the consciousness levels. He also notes that one level of consciousness is not “good” or “bad”, but that they can help you navigate your emotions with greater awareness.
Reclaiming Your Emotions and Your Energy
To me, knowledge of the Hawkins Scale can create an experience of allowing you to reclaim your power and sovereignty of choice when it comes to the emotional experience, because all levels of consciousness are frequencies available to you at all times.
With inner self study, you can observe your behavior patterns and notice what level you're operating from. It can also help you understand your relationships better, and discern why others may not feel the same way as you do. How people act and react to situations depends highly on their perspectives and conditioning, and, perhaps, whether they are vibrating in the frequency of ‘anger’ or ‘love’.
As you progress through the emotional scale, you will naturally resonate at higher emotional frequencies. This will attract people and experiences of the same frequency, transforming your life into one of delicious abundance!

Potential Impacts on the MindBodyHeart
As someone who worked in the bodywork and wellness industry for over a decade, I have noticed that what impacts our energetic frequency and physical body most is emotion: energy in motion.
Emotions can dramatically effect how our energy moves and flows. How we carry emotions in our mindbodyhearts can cause us to experience contraction and fear, or expansion and nourishment, all of which is experienced on a cellular level.
Emotions are stored at the cellular level of the body and can be released and/or cleared during an energy healing treatment, restoring our energy flow and bringing health back to the body’s tissues.
According to Joseph Hoffman, author of The Life and Death of the Cell, “If one took the trouble, it would be possible to measure the degree of love, hate, or anxiety in a person’s life by the rate of their cellular destruction.”
If we are in fear, worry, or anger we experience contraction and even cellular destruction. When experiencing these emotions our growth is challenged, our body is impacted, and our energetic flow is restricted. Anger can often be one of the most damaging to our bodies because it shuts down the power of the heart, and our heart energy is a powerhouse source of energy.
We are the most powerful when our heart is open.
Dive Deeper
One of the best ways to transmute emotion is through medicinal movement, meditation, sound, and the alchemy of forgiveness. These three practices I recommend as daily ritual, and the alchemy of forgiveness is a worksheet made available to my private clients and course members.
In the Free Resources section of the Online Sanctuary, I share several practices to make big or small energy shifts in the moments you need them most. These are gifts from my heart to yours.
As always, be gentle with yourself.
