Daily Awareness Leads to Career Success

The work of Dr. David Hawkins assists us to more deeply understand how daily awareness of where our feelings are is a springboard to success. I have used this awareness to discern what my predominant feeling or feelings are on a certain day and then set an intention to reach for a higher vibrational state if I am stuck in some negativity.

It turns out that as I get to a better feeling place my performance in my career is improved and my success becomes more of a flow.

Just yesterday I noticed I was blaming and shaming myself for a particular outcome in my business I was not happy about and when I reached for some forgiveness for myself (knowing I am always doing the best I can and my best is really good), I was able to move forward with my day and take some powerful actions.

Using muscle testing and kinesiology on thousands of people Dr. Hawkins determined a person’s energetic frequency can be measured on a specific Vibrations Scale. In Hawkins’ framework 1,000 is the highest state a human being can attain. People at this level are enlightened masters. Heavy emotions like sadness, guilt or humiliation vibrate at low frequencies, while feelings like love, bliss, and peace vibrate at high, uplifting frequencies. At the lowest end of the spectrum of vibrations is someone who is struggling, suffering, and not thriving. 

Right now, the average level of energy on Earth is around 207—and this is because throughout our lives, we accumulate hidden energy blockages and negative conditioning that holds us back from higher vibrations. As we learn how to dwell more and more in the higher levels, especially 400 and above, we will experience more flow and fulfillment and will be a beneficial presence on the planet.

We sense that we are connected to all living things at a deep level and studies have shown that your energy doesn’t just affect you. Higher vibrational states such as joy, peace, and love do in fact affect the entire energy field in which humans live their lives.

Hawkins says in Power vs. Force (p. 283-4): “Although only 15% of the world’s population is above the critical consciousness level [200] ... the collective power of that 15% has the weight to counterbalance the negativity of the remaining 85% of the world’s people…Were it not for these counterbalances, mankind would self-destruct out of the sheer mass of its unopposed negativity.”

This is a reminder that as we raise our awareness and vibration, we make the world better for everyone.

How to use this Levels of Consciousness formulation:

1. Notice what level you are at in a given moment (a moment of self-awareness).
2. Realize that emotions are just part of the human experience, and it is ok when we experience these lower levels – but they may not be serving our life or the realization of our dreams.
3. Lok at the diagram of the scale and see if you can set an intention to go to a higher level right then, or today or this week and practice showing up that way. Or when you have some quiet time, reflect on a where you interacted with yourself or others in one of the lower vibration states and set an intention to show up differently next time.
4. Understand that the spinning thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions that are activated at those lower levels are based on old patterns and if we choose to expand into a new level, we have the power to do that as we set a conscious intention to do so.
