Dr Hawkin’s Scale and Christie-Marie Sheldon’s Energy Awareness gifted me a tool to monitor my emotional vibrations
One is a million
I have heard this said by many of my teachers.
The first time I heard it was like…what the is this woo-woo stuff I am listening too?! One is a million..pfff. I stayed amused though and like anything, the more I learnt, the more I understood.
How I turn up in my day directly affects everyone else I encounter.
The good ole ripple effect.
“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects” — Dalai Lama
The contagious smile….or if we are thinking about the current situation, the Coronavirus. I like the smile version a shit tonne better.
If my headspace is cluttered with feelings of guilt or fear my filters of awareness are blurred.
I show up with less energy.
My capacity to handle the slightest drama will trigger an unconscious reaction vs a conscious response.
Dr David Hawkins chart of consciousness mixed with muscle testing I learnt from Christie-Marie Sheldon help me track what vibration I am at.
Usually, it is obvious, how I feel. BUT my physical body and the intellectual side of my brain doesn’t always align with my energy and subconscious side of my brain.
For years I was telling myself I had things under control…until BAM! I became an emotional leaking mess of a human.
So how do I know if what I am thinking and feeling is what I am giving off into the world?
If you haven’t come across it before — here is what Dr David Hawkin’s scale of consciousness looks like.

The muscle testing I do is the linking of fingers as demonstrated by Christie-Marie herself.
The test demo starts at the 3:30 timestamp.
If you have time, do yourself a favour and watch the whole thing-it shows you pretty much exactly what I do. Heads up — Christie-Marie has an addictive giggle when she speaks — I remember hearing it is from the source energy connection she has.
The steps I take are —
- Ask a question to muscle test a true response (unbroken finger link)
- Ask a question to muscle test a false response (broken finger link)
- Physically look at the scale and pick the emotion I think I am operating at
- I ask “Am I vibrating from a place of Desire?”
- If I test strong, I ask “Am I vibrating above Desire?”
- I keep asking for each level or skip a few until I break.
- I retest the level under the break to confirm if it is strong
- I know where I am “in” that moment.
Every time I do this, I have to remind myself there is no right or wrong level — it just is what it is….doesn’t mean I don’t ever judge myself though.
The days I do judge tend to be the days I am operating on the lower end of the scale — energy expended elsewhere, lack of sleep, an unexpected confrontation, feeling like I am not enough.
Then I remember…this is a tool. A guide to help me know I need to look within and clear the source of the energy block. Assign a new meaning. Work at a new habit. Re-balance so I can show up better in the next moment.
Whenever my daughter does it she is usually operating from the level of Enlightenment — I know why she is my biggest teacher!
I understand it isn’t for everyone, but it is a tool that helps me immensely. And since one is a million, it helps the world more than you will ever truly know.
It’s free to try so why not give it a go? Even if it is just to prove me wrong.
Thanks for reading.
