Each of us are unique. We are all creating and manifesting in ways that are specific to our particular perceptions and vibrational resonances.

I have taken the Emotional Guidance Scale from Abraham along with the Hawkins Map of Consciousness and, using muscle testing, created what I am dubbing “The Frank Butterfield Scale of Vibrational Resonance.”

By the way, I wrote about how such a scale could be used in my post on January 13: Using the Hawkins Scale and EFT to intentionally raise vibration. For a refresher, take a look and then hurry back so you can see how I created my own personal scale (and how you can too!).

Characteristics of this scale

• It is personal to me. It might work for other people, but I’ve only tested it for me. More about this below.
• The scale is progressive (like the EGS) and not logarithmic (like Hawkins’)
• It starts at zero and ends at 1000. Zero is the most contracted vibrational resonance state. 1000 is the most expanded vibrational resonance state.

The scale

How I created it

1. I took all the words I found in the EGS and the Hawkins scale and sorted them alphabetically, creating a source list (see below).
2. I reviewed the list to see if anything was missing (there was one word I use — panic — which I added).
3. Then I went through each word on the list and muscle tested for the following statement, inserting the word where the blank is:
   
   
   

   On the Frank Butterfield scale of vibrational resonance, _____________ is used.

   
   
   

4. I removed all the words from the list that tested weak (negative) to the statement above.
5. Next, I went through the remaining words and muscle tested for the following statement, inserting the word where the first blank is and then testing for the number (see more here about how to muscle test from a range of numbers):
   
   
   

   On the Frank Butterfield scale of vibrational resonance of zero to 1000, ___________ scores at _____________.

   
   
   

6. Throughout this process, I tried to just focus on each step without giving much thought to the big picture of where everything goes on the scale. So, when I sorted the list by number descending (using a spreadsheet helped a great deal), I was happy to see the results. The scores and order may not resonate with you, but each of these make sense, which I talk about in more detail below.

A few notes about the results

There were a few things that immediately jumped out at me when I created this list:

1. Some qualities test at the same score. Remember that I tested the list in alphabetical order, so I didn’t realize this until the process was done. But none of them come as a surprise to me. Here is a list of those qualities and their scores with some notes:
   • 45: Apathy, Depression — No surprise here. I’ve never been able to distinguish these two.
   • 250: Rage, Grief — This did surprise me a bit. Then I started thinking about how when I am grieving, it is every bit as physical an experience as rage.
   • 155: Jealousy, Impatience — Like two snakes interwined with each other, these qualities seem to feed off each other for me.
   • 875: Eagerness, Happiness — I had to laugh when I saw this. Anyone who has ever been around me when I am happy won’t be a bit surprised.
   • 1000: Peace, Joy, Freedom, Love — I want to say, “well obviously,” but the fact that Freedom vibrates at the same level as Peace, Joy, and Love is an awareness that only recently became obvious.
2. Appreciation is not at the top. Abraham and the Communion of Light tell us again and again that Appreciation is the best word they know to describe how Source sees us. So, I was surprised to see Appreciation just below Empowerment, which is just below Peace, Joy, Freedom, and Love. I asked my Higher Self about that and the response was this: Appreciation (for me, at least) is like opening a door. Behind that door is Empowerment which then leads to alignment with Source. Source IS Joy, Peace, Freedom, and Love. Your results may vary…
3. Notwithstanding what I wrote above, try not to get to much into the meaning of the results. Otherwise you might find yourself asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. This is just a scale. And its purpose is to help you focus on where you want to be vibrationally. All tools have limitations as they are just a way to where you want to go but they are not the destination.

Creating your own scale

I am writing about this for one simple reason: I believe that we all use these wonderful tools in unique ways. And I hope that I inspire you to take this tool (or any other one you like) and customize it for yourself.

Using your own intuition and muscle testing, you can create a similar scale to use for shifting your vibration. As Abraham reminds us all the time, “Nothing is more important than feeling good.”

I’ve included the source list below so you have a place to begin. Be sure to look and see if there is any word missing from the list that you commonly use in your emotional vocabulary. If you speak English, but think in another language, it might be a good idea to include both words in your list. It might be surprising to see that the translation of one word tests at a different vibration than the other.

Use any scale you want to use. I like the zero to 1000 scale for a variety of reasons, but yours could be 1 to 10.

Or you could just test to find out what order each word goes in. In that case, you might have a list of 46 words, so your scale would be 1 to 46.

A final reminder: the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe lives within you, so you have access to all the wisdom needed to breathe life into anything and create a wonderful tool that liberates and empowers you (and plain feels good) in just the perfect way.
