Emotions… energy in motion
The motion is either Separating or Connecting
Low Octave Emotions are the separating swirling undercurrents of the Ego Personality
High Octave Emotions are theconnecting steady undercurrent of One’s Highest Self
Mapping the 16 Major Emotions
**Each major emotion has its own distinctive Energy Field
**This Energy Field profoundly influences one’s thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors
**These emotional energy fields are arranged according to their respective levels of Energetic Power
**The greater their Power, the More Expansive (Higher) the Level of Consciousness
Modern Psychology has not yet produced any standard Map of Emotions for use by the schools, hospitals, health clinics or the general public. Mental Health practitioners must choose among competing models of emotion which are generally pretty simplistic. Apart from the classic 5 primary emotions (Happy/Sad, Angry, Scared, Disgusted) the lists of secondary and tertiaryfeelings can easily range from twenty, thirty, or forty emotions. (for fun do some Google, internet, Ai searches with the prompt “standard list of emotions” used by different entities and and institutions).
Not an ideal situation for anyone trying to understand the landscape and dynamics of emotional energy.
Fortunately, to address this shortcoming, a most excellent Map for understanding and navigating emotional energy is gaining momentum worldwide. It is David Hawkins MD PhD’s Map of Consciousness ( or MOC for short ). My hope is that this website will be interesting enough, clear enough, and useful enough to glimpse the essentials of the MOC. Learning the MOC is like having an everyday multitool… for understanding one’s own and others’ feelings.
Initial rewards of Recognizing The Energy of each Emotion
Shifting away from the confining reflex patterns of the Lower Octave → to the Freedom and Power of the Upper Octave Emotions
Recognizing more quickly what others are feeling
Identifying the conditions that can trigger feelings from both the Lower and Higher Octave
Communicating your desires and feelings with more clarity in your relationships
Feeling calmer grounded, and more steady day to day in being in a High Octave state
The Energy of Brute Force vs. True Power Emotions
Low Octave vs. High Octave Energy Fields
Lower-octave states drain energy and narrow awareness.
Upper-octave states generate energy and expand awareness.
Letting go of the Lower Octave to naturally rise into the Upper Octave

Pride (polarizing judgements)

Joy (Gratitude)
Love (Compassionate Kindness)*
*in all conditions
Reason(Logic Objectivity)
Acceptance (Forgiveness)
Willingness(Letting Go & Surrender)

Having a map for guidance and direction
2 Octave Mindfulness
1. Differentiate when you’re in low-octave reactivity vs upper-octave clarity
2. Practice recognizing — the energy signatures of any Low Octave emotions arising and mixing together in the present moment
3. Practice letting go — of the thoughts, attitudes, and subtle cravings that serve as anchors in each of the Low Octave Energy Fields
4. Practice drawing energy from all of the Upper Octave Energy Fields ( Kindness Gratitude and Humbleness are 3 favorites)
Brad Heinz is a clinical Psychologist and long time student of David Hawkin’s teachings. He has been working to distill the 16 Fundamental Emotions from Dr. Hawkin’s Map of Consciousness (MOC) into two contrasting octaves of emotional energy . In this 2 Octave ecosystem, the domain of our clever ego self/personality ‘s 8 hollow Emotions remain separate from the empowering domain of our Authentic Self’s Unifying 8 Emotions of True Power.
In studying the Octaves you can learn to:
Identify the energy/vibe/emotional fields you default to under stress
Learn how to the shift out of lower octave emotional patterns to a High Octave state
Practice letting go of Low Octave triggers to naturally move into the High Octave states of Consciousness
Apply these this knowledge to complex situations, hard conversations, conflicts and major decisions
