David R. Hawkins, in his books and teachings, describes emotions as energy levels that vibrate at various frequencies. While he does not explicitly mention the specific type of energy, it is often understood within the context of his work that he is referring to subtle or metaphysical energy rather than electromagnetic energy.
In Hawkins' model, emotions are associated with different levels of consciousness, and these levels are measured on a scale called the "Map of Consciousness." The Map of Consciousness ranks emotions and states of being on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 1,000, with higher levels representing more positive and empowering emotions.
The concept of energy in this context is often understood as a metaphysical or spiritual concept rather than being directly related to electromagnetic energy. It is a way to describe the vibrational qualities and qualities of consciousness associated with different emotional states.
It's worth noting that Hawkins' work is based on his own research and perspectives, and it may not align with the scientific understanding of energy and consciousness. The scientific understanding of emotions and energy primarily relates to physiological and biochemical processes rather than metaphysical or spiritual concepts.
