Using Abraham’s Emotional Scale in my energy work
Abraham- Hicks emotional scale is an exercise to improve the emotional state you are currently in. We look for thoughts that allow us to feel better incrementally. The idea behind it is to move up the scale, what’s called Up-leveling your emotions. For example; feeling revenge is better than feeling depressed and powerless. At least with revenge you have awakened from in action to some action. Please know I am not condoning the behavior of revenge. As we all know there have been people who have been in a state of depression for years stuck and immobile in this state. It is better to be frustrated than discouraged, as there is more action in frustration than in being discouraged.
The great news is with EFT, instead of slowly moving up the scale, you can make leaps toward Joy and emotional freedom. This scale is a complimentary tool to use with EFT. It is a great guide to help you feel where you are and see some better options. I use it in my practice when some one has several aspects around the issue they want to make peace with.
Many times in tapping with a client they will come in with a particular issue they would like emotional freedom around. While we tap other aspects come into play. Aspects are issues within the issues. They can also be two separate events that within the clients mind, amplified the problem, and both need addressing. In looking at the scale the client can sometimes feel one or more emotions they are feeling within the issue.
The we can take a suds (subjective units of distress). This is a simple measurement allowing us to determine the distress around the different aspects within the issue we are tapping on. Blessings Karen
