A short motivational YouTube talk by Betsy Guerra describing emotions as having measurable "energies" or frequencies, with shame at the lowest end and joy/love/peace at the highest. Guerra emphasizes that middle emotions (notably anger, courage, and pride) can act as accessible stepping-stones for people stuck in low-frequency states (shame, guilt, grief) to elevate toward higher states like joy and love.

Today we're going to talk about the energy in emotions and how to use it to your advantage. Did you know that emotions have energy? Can you tell when you walk into a room where a couple just had an argument and you can sense the tension? That's the energy and emotions and that vibration. That frequency of emotions can be measured, and it has been measured. And science shows that the lowest vibrating frequency is that of shame. And then guilt and grief and apathy and hatred. And all these emotions that we know are unpleasant. And then the highest vibrating emotions, the ones that feel good and are just as contagious as those, but in a good way, are joy and enlightenment and peace and love. And those are the ones that feel really good. But there's some emotions in the middle. They're like neutral. And one of them I was surprised to see is anger. You would think, oh, anger is a very low frequency emotion. But the truth is that anger can help you rise up to the positive emotions. So let's say you've been hanging out a lot around grief or guilt and shame, and you've been like, oh, yeah, I saw. Well, feeling anger is a little more doable than feeling joyful when you've been hanging out in guilt and shame for a long time. So anger is accessible to those experiencing shame and guilt. And when you can elevate to anger, you're at a vibration that allows you to be like, enough, I'm done with this. I'm done feeling like a loser. I'm done. I'm done, I'm done. And that is what's going to help you rise up to where joy, love, enlightenment and peace live. So if you understand the energy of emotions, you can leverage what you know about anger. Courage is also in the middle with anger. When you can elevate to, like, gaining the courage to do something that you would feel guilty about or you would feel shameful about. And when you can rise up just a little bit, just enough to be neutral, then what can a minute of courage do for you? What can a courageous conversation lead to when you're hanging out there? We're humans. It happens. Just know that you don't have to go from shame to enlightenment, peace, joy and love. You can access anger, you can access courage, you can access pride, which is another one there in the middle. And have that minute and moment of feeling proud for yourself, which may elevate you to the next level. So know that this is accessible to you, this is possible for you, and you get to decide, where do you want to hang out most. Do you want to be in the high frequency emotions or do you want to stay where you're at? Good luck with that.
