Navigating the Hawkins Scale in Your Energy Work: A Guide to Vibrational Alignment
The Hawkins Scale has become my trusted go-to, offering consistent insights to support my energy work—something I can’t always say for the Bovis Scale, which can shift unpredictably under different energies. In the world of energy healing and dowsing, our vibrational state naturally rises and falls, influenced by our surroundings, thoughts, and activities. By tuning into where you are on the Hawkins Scale, you gain a powerful tool for deepening your practice and enhancing your well-being. This scale serves as a reliable compass, guiding you to align with your highest potential in each moment.
What is the Hawkins Scale?
The Hawkins Scale, also known as the Map of Consciousness, categorizes emotional and spiritual states on a numerical scale from 0 to 1,000, each associated with different levels of awareness and enlightenment. Here’s a brief overview:
Below 200: These states—shame, guilt, apathy, fear, and anger—tend to feel disempowering and align with lower consciousness.
200 - 499: This range, from Courage (200) to Reason (400), is where self-empowerment, confidence, and logical clarity begin to emerge.
500 - 599: The realm of Love (500), Joy (540), and Peace (600), where states of spiritual compassion, joy, and inner peace reside.
700 - 1,000: Enlightenment, the ultimate pinnacle, where pure consciousness and a sense of unity with all things exist.
While it’s natural to experience shifts within these levels, finding a range that feels both achievable and supportive can help you make the most of your energy work.
Why Our Vibrations Fluctuate
Our energy is dynamic and influenced by relationships, environment, beliefs, and practices. This range isn’t meant to stay at its peak indefinitely; rather, the goal is to maintain a vibrational state that feels natural and easy to hold. Activities like meditation or time in nature can help raise it, while stress or challenging tasks may temporarily lower it.
Why Aim for a State Above 200
At Courage (200), the journey toward self-empowerment begins. Operating from this level or higher establishes a solid foundation for effective energy work, enhancing clarity and reducing susceptibility to lower-vibrational influences. If you find yourself feeling low, it’s best to center yourself first—try grounding exercises or a short meditation to elevate your state. Setting a clear intention to work within your highest comfortable range can further align you with beneficial energies.
I do not recommend doing any energy or spiritual work when you’re in a state below 200, as you’re unlikely to receive high-vibrational results. Attempting to work from a lower state can risk bringing in information that might further lower your vibration. Instead, take the time to elevate your state to Courage or higher to ensure a clear, empowered foundation for your practice.
Setting an Intention and Using the Hawkins Scale to Elevate Your Sacred Space
When you dowse, your vibrational level directly impacts the clarity and integrity of your work. Setting a clear intention at the outset helps you align with higher frequencies, enhancing the quality of your dowsing. Start with a focused intention, such as:
“I set the intention to be in the highest vibrational state that I can comfortably hold while dowsing. May this work come from a place of clarity, love, and integrity.”
This intention serves as the foundation for high-vibrational work, ensuring that your dowsing aligns with the most supportive energies. You can also combine this intention with the Hawkins Scale to set and maintain a high-vibrational sacred space.
Using the Hawkins Scale with a Pendulum to Set Your Sacred Space
The Hawkins Scale is an invaluable tool for establishing and maintaining a high-vibrational space. By setting a higher vibration for both yourself and your environment, you minimize the chances of lower-vibrational energies entering.
Step 1: Setting the Vibration of Your Sacred Space
Check the Current Vibration of Your Space: Hold your pendulum over the Hawkins Scale and command, “For my highest good, show me the current state of consciousness of my sacred space.” The pendulum will indicate your space’s current vibrational level.
Raise the Vibration of the Space: Once you know the current vibration, command, “For the highest good, raise the vibration of this space as high as it can comfortably go for me.” After a moment, check again with your pendulum to confirm the shift.
Set Your Space: By elevating the space’s vibration, you create a protective, harmonious environment that supports your work and deters lower-vibrational influences.
Step 2: Checking and Setting Your Vibrational Level
Check Your Vibration: With your sacred space set, ask your pendulum, “For my highest good, show me my current vibration on the Hawkins Scale.” This reading provides insight into your current vibrational state.
Raise Your Vibration: To ensure you’re operating at your highest potential, command, “For the highest good, raise my vibration as high as it can comfortably go for me.” Re-check your vibration to confirm the shift. This alignment enhances your energy work by harmonizing your vibration with that of your sacred space.
Benefit of a Higher Vibration: By setting a higher vibration for both yourself and your space, you create a secure energetic field that significantly reduces the chance of lower-vibrational energies intruding.
Applying the Process to Other Areas of Life
This approach can be applied beyond your immediate sacred space—to any room, object, or situation. For example, if you’re facing a challenging situation, you can use your pendulum to check the consciousness level of the situation itself. Hold the pendulum over the Hawkins Scale and ask, “For my highest good, show me the current consciousness level of this situation.” If it reads low on the scale, command, “For the highest good, raise the consciousness of this situation as high as it can comfortably go.” After a moment, check again to see where the vibration has shifted. Raising the consciousness level of a situation can help to shift it toward a more harmonious and favorable outcome.
This practice is a powerful way to elevate not only your environment but also various areas of your life—from relationships to projects, interactions, and other spaces you engage with. By setting intentions and aligning with the Hawkins Scale, you establish an empowered, harmonious field around you, fostering clarity and integrity in every aspect of your spiritual and energetic practice.
Embracing Your Natural Range
Our vibrational state naturally moves up and down. Rather than striving for a constant high, aim to set and maintain a vibration that feels right for you. By tuning in to where you are on the Hawkins Scale, setting intentional goals, and creating an elevated space, you empower your energy work with clarity, confidence, and alignment. Embrace your journey with patience, allowing your vibration to rise and settle in harmony with your true self.
