The Energy of the 16 Primary Emotions


What transformations can occur as you begin to clearly “hear” your 16 emotions?

  • Shifting away from the confining reflex patterns of the Lower Octave → to the Freedom and Power of the Upper Octave Emotions

  • Recognizing more quickly what you and others are feeling

  • Identifying the conditions that trigger feelings from both the Lower and Higher Octaves so as to build resilience for stressful events

  • Communicating your desires and feelings with more clarity in your relationships

  • Feeling calmer grounded, and more steady day to day
