Brad teaches David Hawkins’ 16 emotional states as two competing octaves—8 lower, 8 upper—so you can catch what you’re feeling early, release what’s driving you, and move into clarity, courage, and unshakeable calmness.
Master your Emotions Like Music
Shift from reactive → responsive in real situations
Name what you’re feeling instead of spinning in it
Reduce the charge behind triggers so they lose control
Communicate with less defensiveness and more clarity
Make better decisions under pressure
Feel more grounded, calm, and steady day to day
What changes when you can “hear” your emotional state on purpose?
The Two Octaves & Their 16 Notes
Lower-octave states drain energy and narrow awareness. Upper-octave states generate energy and expand awareness.
The skill is learning the notes—and learning how to move upward.
Lower Octave - Ego Driven
“Draining”
Pride
Anger
Desire
Fear
Grief
Apathy
Guilt
Shame
Upper Octave - Authentic Self
“Life Giving”
Peace
Joy
Love
Reason
Acceptance
Willingness
Neutrality
Courage
How it Works
Most people aren’t feeling one emotion—they’re playing a chord.
This gives you a simple map and a repeatable practice.
Learn the Two Octaves — recognize when you’re in lower-octave reactivity vs upper-octave clarity
Hear the 16 Notes — identify what’s actually playing in real time (and what it’s costing you)
Practice letting go — release the lower notes and move upward in the moments that matter
