I still remember a session I had with a practitioner many moons ago. I was speaking about the shame I felt in my body after something painful had happened, and she said “oh, we’re going to need to let that go… we don’t want to feel shame, that’s a really low frequency emotion.”
And suddenly, I felt shame… for feeling my shame. 🫠
It stayed with me for years. I didn’t realise how quietly damaging that moment actually was.
David Hawkins created a chart which shows that certain emotions are “low vibration” while others are “high”
Shame at the bottom
Anger somewhere in the middle
Joy and love at the top
But honestly… I think that model is outdated.
Emotions aren’t hierarchical - they’re human.
You’re not “lowering your consciousness” because anger or grief arises. The lowering happens when you resist it, suppress it, or shame yourself for feeling it.
From a somatic and nervous system perspective:
When anger is expressed (in a healthy way), it can actually raise your frequency. It pulls you out of the freeze response, restores your boundaries and reconnects you to your power.
That’s not “low vibe” - that’s healing.
If consciousness is the ocean, then emotions are like waves. If you try and block the waves from reaching the shore, you’ll be left with backwash, turbulence and a s**t time. But allow then move through, you will ride them, and everything returns to rhythm.
Feeling the full spectrum is not regression.
It’s spiritual maturity.
Modern consciousness work makes this so clear:
Your relationship to the emotion matters more than the emotion itself.
Can you stay present with it?
Can you let it move through your body?
Can you express it without abandoning yourself?
That is high frequency.
Not bypassing. Not pretending. Not repressing.
The most evolved nervous system isn’t the one that never feels “negative” emotions -
it’s the one with the capacity to feel everything and let it pass through.
So feel the anger.
Feel the grief.
Feel the joy.
Your frequency isn’t measured by emotional avoidance but by your ability to remain open through the full spectrum of being human.
That’s consciousness.
That’s embodiment.
That’s healing
