✨ Navigating Energy Shapers – and Healing – in Spiritual Communities with TIPA

(Part 3 of 3)

“Healing from narcissistic abuse is a journey of rediscovering your strength and reclaiming your light.” — Melanie Tonia Evans

Note: This post builds on Post 2’s (Understanding Energy Shapers and Their Impact) exploration of Energy Shapers’ impact, offering strategies and TIPA’s trauma-informed support for targets and Energy Shapers. If you’re healing from narcissistic abuse, TIPA is a safe space for your recovery.

Post 2 illuminated the profound trauma inflicted by Energy Shapers—narcissists whose manipulative tactics, like gaslighting and devaluation, disrupt lives and spiritual communities, leaving targets with shattered beliefs and eroded trust (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This trauma, intensified in spiritual settings, often targets empaths and healers, whose radiant energy fuels Shapers’ validation cycles, sometimes linked to addictive behaviors (web:13). Yet, healing transforms this pain into empowerment and spiritual growth. The Integrated Path to Awakening (TIPA), a year-long, trauma-informed course through Rowan Wellness, empowers targets to heal and thrive, while guiding Shapers toward accountability to create safer spaces. This post provides strategies to navigate Energy Shapers, prompts self-reflection on whether you might be a Shaper, highlights the transformative potential of shadow work, and details TIPA’s support, prioritizing targets’ safety and resilience.

Navigating Energy Shapers in Spiritual Communities; Strategies

Navigating Energy Shapers requires practical, universal practices to protect your energy and maintain healthy boundaries, empowering targets—especially empaths and healers—to thrive. These strategies, rooted in mindfulness, are applicable in any setting:

  1. Observe in Group Settings First: Before one-on-one engagement, observe individuals in multiple group settings — if possible — such as community events or workshops. This safe distance reveals patterns—domination, praise-seeking, dismissal—helping you avoid harmful connections (Brown, 2016).
  2. Trust Your Intuition: Tune into cues like fatigue, anxiety, or unease, signaling energy siphoning. Mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or body awareness, sharpen instincts (van der Kolk, 2014).
  3. Set Clear Boundaries: State needs calmly, e.g., “I’m not available now.” Consistency protects energy, countering manipulation (Neff, 2011).
  4. Protect Your Energy: Use energy-clearing techniques, like visualizing a protective shield or grounding in nature, to release negativity and maintain vitality (Kabat-Zinn, 1990).
  5. Address Behavior Calmly: If safe, use “I” statements, e.g., “I feel unheard when interrupted,” to encourage accountability without conflict (Brown, 2016).
  6. Limit Engagement: Avoid over-investing or “fixing” Shapers, redirecting focus to your well-being (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  7. Seek Supportive Allies: Connect with trusted community members to validate experiences, countering isolation (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2014).
  8. Implement No-Contact When Necessary: If harm persists, sever all connections—blocking communication, avoiding social media, and refraining from discussions—to break energetic cords and reclaim autonomy (Martin, 2020).

These practices empower you to navigate Energy Shapers confidently, prioritizing your safety and emotional well-being.

Could I Be an Energy Shaper?

Wondering, “Could I be an Energy Shaper?” is an important step toward accountability and growth. Energy Shapers often perceive themselves differently than targets, cloaking behavior in a “nice guy,” “empath,” or “spiritual leader” mask to avoid their Shamed Ego (Pentad 9). They may believe they’re supportive, unaware of the harm they’re perpetuating (Durvasula, 2019). These seven questions, rooted in Pentad 9 and archetypal patterns, encourage introspection without shame:

  1. Do I rely on praise to feel secure, feeling unsettled without it? Craving validation suggests external energy-seeking (Vampire, Shamed Ego).
  2. Do I deflect criticism with excuses or rhetoric? Blaming others (“they’re not evolved/healed”) avoids accountability (Trickster, Grandiose Ego).
  3. Do I prioritize appearing wise over others’ needs? Image-focused actions (e.g., grandiose stories) feed ego (Magician, Grandiose Ego).
  4. Do I push boundaries, believing it’s for others’ benefit? Rushing intimacy (e.g., love-bombing) manipulates control (Shape Shifter, Grandiose Ego).
  5. Do others seem drained or distant after interacting with me? Withdrawal indicates unintentional energy siphoning (Vampire, Shamed Ego).
  6. Am I more focused on perception than reciprocal relationships? Tailoring behavior for admiration prioritizes ego (Magician, Grandiose Ego).
  7. Do I feel unworthy despite projecting confidence? Masking insecurities drives Energy Shaper patterns (Vampire, Shape Shifter).

Answering “yes” suggests a need for accountability, not condemnation, as these behaviors often stem from trauma (60% of survivors, van der Kolk, 2014). Transformation is possible, as explored next.

The Light Beyond the Shadow: Transforming the Energy Shaper

Energy Shapers may resist shadow work, as external validation provides an “energetic payday” (Durvasula, 2019). Yet, confronting the Shamed Ego’s wounds, as outlined in Pentad 9, unlocks authentic connection, inner peace, and radiant presence, creating safer communities for targets. These benefits fulfill a soul-level longing for truth, not egoic admiration, making the journey worthwhile:

  • Authentic Connection: Facing insecurities releases manipulation, fostering reciprocal relationships valued for your true self, reducing harm to targets (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2014).
  • Inner Peace: Shadow work quiets the “not enough” narrative, freeing you from validation-seeking and creating trust for others (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  • Radiant Presence: Embracing shadows transforms you into an authentic beacon, inspiring through vulnerability, not control, benefiting community safety (Martin, 2020).
  • Self-Mastery: Turning pain into wisdom fosters purpose, rooted in accountability, minimizing harm (van der Kolk, 2014).
  • Breaking the Cycle: Healing severs energetic cords, preventing harm and modeling accountability, protecting targets (Martin, 2020).

The fleeting payoff of validation pales against lasting fulfillment. TIPA’s practices support this transformation, prioritizing target safety through accountability.

The Spectrum of Self-Centeredness in Awakening

Narcissistic traits exist on a spectrum, with few individuals embodying full-fledged narcissism or complete freedom from self-centered tendencies; most of us fall somewhere in the middle, exhibiting behaviors like attention-seeking or control in specific environments, with certain people, or under stress (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Spiritual teacher Caroline Myss teaches that a phase of self-centeredness is a natural part of the awakening journey, where we turn inward to explore our identity and heal repressed emotions and trauma, or energetic knots, that bind our psyche (Myss, 2001). Myss views this phase as essential for individuation—integrating shadow and light to align with our Authentic Self—requiring a potent influx of energy to unravel these knots. Without learning to cultivate this energy internally, we may instinctively draw it from others, manifesting as Energy Shaper behaviors, such as compulsive validation-seeking, akin to addiction, which 50% of narcissists exhibit (web:13). These behaviors, while part of growth, can cause harm if unchecked. TIPA empowers individuals to harness this energy from within through trauma-informed practices like breathwork and somatic exercises, ensuring this transformative phase minimizes collateral damage and fosters healing with compassion and accountability for all.

How TIPA Supports Targets and Energy Shapers

TIPA creates a nurturing environment where targets heal and Energy Shapers grow, addressing trauma and addiction (50% of narcissists, web:13) through a three-phase curriculum—Build Your Roots, Ignite Your Light, and Rise as a Veyrin. Facilitators, trained in trauma-informed care, ensure safety, enforcing accountability and honoring vulnerability (van der Kolk, 2014).

Supporting Both Groups Safely

TIPA balances support with rigorous safety measures to protect targets:

  • Facilitator Oversight: Trained facilitators monitor dynamics, addressing manipulative behaviors swiftly to safeguard targets (April 13, 2025).
  • Group Agreements: Veyrin circles enforce respect, confidentiality, and mutual support, creating a safe haven (April 8, 2025).
  • Tailored Support: Targets focus on healing, Shapers on accountability, with separate coaching for sensitive issues (web:7).
  • Addiction Integration: TIPA addresses Shapers’ addictive behaviors (e.g., substance use, social media) through shadow work and polyvagal interventions, reducing harm (web:15).

For Targets

  • Safe Space: Veyrin circles validate empaths/healers’ experiences, reducing isolation (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2014).
  • Empowerment: Body scans and “Pulse and Drift” breathwork (20-30% stress reduction) sharpen intuition (Zaccaro et al., 2018).
  • Boundaries: Assertiveness training resists manipulation (Neff, 2011).
  • Healing: Shadow work reduces trauma symptoms by 70%, rebuilding self-worth (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  • Cord-Cutting: Visualizations sever cords, reclaiming autonomy (Martin, 2020).

For Energy Shapers

  • Accountability: Group feedback fosters responsibility (Brown, 2016).
  • Self-Anchoring: Breathwork reduces validation-seeking, addressing addictions (Porges, 2011).
  • Transformation: Journaling uncovers Shamed Ego wounds, aligning with Radiant Presence (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  • Reciprocity: Veyrin training fosters authentic support (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2014).
  • Addiction Recovery: Somatic exercises target compulsive behaviors, breaking cycles (web:9).

💡 Understanding Energy Shapers and Their Impact in Spiritual Communities

(Part 2 of 3)

“In the mirror of narcissism, we find not only their wounds but our own strength to heal and rise.” — Shahida Arabi

Understanding Energy Shapers and Their Impact

Note: This post discusses narcissistic behaviors and their traumatic impact on targets. If you’re recovering from narcissistic abuse, know that your experience is valid, and healing is possible. Take care as you read.



Post 1 – From Narcissists to Energy Shapers: The Hungry Ghosts in Spiritual Communities – introduced Energy Shapers—narcissists and energy vampires who infiltrate spiritual communities, wielding manipulative tactics like love-bombing and spiritual jargon to drain energy, affecting 6.2% of adults with narcissistic traits (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Their presence, often cloaked in charisma, exploits the trust and vulnerability of open-hearted individuals, leaving deep wounds that challenge core beliefs and identity. This post builds on that foundation, exploring how to identify Energy Shapers, the profound trauma they inflict across all contexts, and the dynamic between Shapers and empaths/healers, whose compassionate energy makes them frequent targets (Arabi, 2017). By understanding their impact, we lay the groundwork for healing, which Post 3 will address through practical strategies and TIPA’s trauma-informed support.

Narcissists, reframed as Energy Shapers, wield manipulative tactics like gaslighting, love-bombing, and devaluation to drain energy and sow discord, affecting 6.2% of adults with narcissistic traits (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Their impact is profoundly traumatic, striking at the core of a target’s beliefs, identity, and trust, often leaving wounds that linger long after the relationship ends. While anyone can be targeted, spiritual communities—where trust and vulnerability are paramount—amplify this harm, exploiting the openness of individuals like empaths and healers (Arabi, 2017). This post explores how to identify Energy Shapers, the deep trauma they inflict across all contexts, and the dynamic between Shapers and empaths/healers, setting the stage for healing strategies in Post 3.

Identifying Energy Shapers: A Target’s Perspective

From a target’s perspective, an Energy Shaper’s presence can initially feel magnetic, even transformative. They may appear as charismatic leaders, empathetic allies, or vulnerable seekers, drawing you in with warmth and wisdom. However, their patterns soon betray a different reality. Grounded in the framework of Pentad 9: Ego’s Illusion, here are key signs to recognize, tied to their archetypal shadows (Myss, 2001; Jung, 1964):

  1. Inauthentic Persona: Energy Shapers craft a polished facade—often the “nice guy,” “empath,” or deploying archetypes like child, lover, or victim—to capture attention. They wield buzzwords like “authenticity” or “connection” to charm, but their actions lack depth or consistency (Grandiose Ego, Shape Shifter). You might feel an initial bond, only to notice misalignment over time (Durvasula, 2019).
  2. Excessive Attention-Seeking: Whether extroverted or introverted, they crave the spotlight. Extroverted Shapers dominate with grandiose tales, demanding praise (Grandiose Ego, Magician). Introverted ones play the victim, pleading, “you’re the only one who understands,” pressuring affirmation. You may feel overshadowed or obligated (Durvasula, 2019).
  3. Superficial Empathy: Their support feels performative, with platitudes like “I’m here for you” vanishing when you need help, leaving you depleted (Shamed Ego, Vampire).
  4. Boundary Violations: They push intimacy through love-bombing or dismiss limits, framing it as closeness, making you feel unsafe (Grandiose Ego, Shape Shifter) (Brown, 2016).
  5. Lack of Accountability: When confronted, they deflect with excuses or rhetoric like “you’re too sensitive” or “I don’t understand where this is coming from.” Alternatively, they may superficially accept responsibility without change (Shamed Ego, Trickster) (Brown, 2016).
  6. Energy Drain: Interactions leave you exhausted, anxious, or doubting yourself, a hallmark of their Vampire archetype (Martin, 2020).

As a target, you might question your perceptions, especially when others are charmed by the Shaper’s facade. Their skill at isolating targets amplifies this doubt. Trusting your intuition—feelings of unease or depletion—is essential for spotting patterns early (van der Kolk, 2014). Your instincts are a powerful guide, even if the Shaper appears widely liked and admired.

The Lasting Impact of Energy Shapers in Spiritual Communities

The trauma inflicted by Energy Shapers cuts to the core, often surpassing life’s most profound losses due to its relentless assault on beliefs, identity, and trust. This betrayal dismantles foundational convictions and fosters a pervasive sense of vulnerability that lingers long after the relationship ends (web:5, web:22).

  • Core Belief Disruption: Energy Shapers’ tactics—gaslighting, love-bombing, devaluation—shatter beliefs about self-worth, trust, and reality. Even those generally skilled at spotting narcissists can be blindsided, leading to deep self-doubt and a fractured sense of identity. The question “How could I have been so wrong?” becomes a haunting refrain, eroding confidence in one’s judgment (web:6, web:21).
  • Emotional and Psychological Toll: Targets endure anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, and symptoms akin to post-traumatic stress disorder, such as flashbacks, panic, or emotional numbness, sometimes termed Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS). The trauma’s intensity stems from the Shaper’s exploitation of vulnerability, creating a cycle of self-blame and diminished self-esteem (web:5, web:10).
  • Relational and Social Damage: Through triangulation or smear campaigns, Shapers isolate targets, sowing distrust in relationships and communities. This can lead to social withdrawal, fear of betrayal, and difficulty forming new connections, as the trauma infiltrates interpersonal dynamics (web:1, web:24).
  • Long-Term Consequences: Without healing, targets may face chronic low self-esteem, self-destructive habits, or challenges in professional and personal spheres, as internalized shame takes hold. The trauma’s longevity lies in its ability to reshape how targets view themselves and the world (web:5, web:10).

In spiritual communities, the impact is amplified by the inherent framework of safety, trust, and vulnerability. The belief that such spaces are free from manipulation leads targets to lower their guard, making the Shaper’s betrayal particularly shattering. The openness encouraged in these circles, especially for empaths and healers, becomes a prime target for exploitation, intensifying feelings of violation and eroding faith in connection (web:6). 

Yet, with healing, this trauma can become a catalyst for profound growth. From a higher perspective, healing targets self-awareness, empowering us to rediscover our authentic self and shed limiting beliefs (often already present at a deep unconscious level, but highlighted by the Shaper.) It fosters resilience, strengthening our ability to set boundaries and trust our intuition. Spiritually, it deepens connection to our soul’s purpose, often awakening a calling to hold space for others, as a Veyrin or healer, aligning with universal compassion through the high heart chakra. Healing rebuilds trust in relationships, enabling authentic connections, and integrates shadow and light, guiding us toward transcendence and unity (Arabi, 2017; web:10). This trauma is not your fault, and these positive outcomes are within reach.

Post 3 explores strategies to protect your energy and details how TIPA empowers targets to rebuild strength and trust, while guiding Shapers toward accountability to prevent further harm.

The Empath/Healer Dynamic with Energy Shapers

Energy Shapers are often drawn to empaths and healers, whose high energy derivation—compassion, emotional availability, and vibrant energy fields—makes them ideal sources for validation and control (Arabi, 2017; Myss, 2001). From the Shaper’s perspective, empaths and healers provide a renewable supply of attention, feeding their Shamed Ego’s need to mask insecurity, often through addictive behaviors like substance use or social media compulsion, which 50% of narcissists exhibit (web:13, web:15). Their charisma or vulnerability exploits empaths’ openness, creating dependency (Durvasula, 2019).

Empaths and healers, embodying the “wounded healer” archetype, may be drawn to Shapers, mistaking their intensity for depth or seeking to heal their wounds, driven by heart or high heart chakra energy (Brown, 2016; Martin, 2020). This mutual attraction creates a draining dynamic, where the empath/healer’s generosity fuels the Shaper’s validation cycle, often exacerbating their addictive tendencies (web:9).

Not all targets are empaths or healers. Anyone—drawn by trust, curiosity, or trauma (60% of survivors, van der Kolk, 2014)—can be affected. Empaths and healers are more vulnerable due to their radiant energy, which Shapers exploit (Grandiose Ego). TIPA prioritizes all targets’ healing, offering tools to reclaim energy and set boundaries, ensuring a safe space for recovery.

To navigate this dynamic:

  • For Empaths/Healers: Recognize your compassion attracts Shapers, but their interest often serves their needs. Ground yourself (e.g., deep breathing) and set boundaries to limit over-giving (Neff, 2011).
  • For Energy Shapers: Reflect on seeking high-energy individuals for validation, often tied to addictive patterns (web:14). Pause to assess intentions, fostering reciprocal connections (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  • For All Targets: Trust your intuition and observe behaviors to ensure alignment (Kabat-Zinn, 1990).

Conclusion: Facing the Impact, Embracing Healing

Energy Shapers leave deep wounds, challenging our core beliefs and trust, with amplified harm in spiritual communities where safety and vulnerability are exploited. Yet, this trauma does not define us—it invites profound growth, from self-awareness to spiritual connection. By understanding their patterns and impact, we reclaim our power to heal. Post 3 – Navigating and Healing with TIPA – offers practical strategies to protect your energy, prompts self-reflection for accountability, and details how TIPA empowers targets to rebuild strength while guiding Shapers toward transformation, fostering safer spiritual communities.

🌀 The Hungry Ghosts in Spiritual Communities

From Narcissists to Energy Shapers (Part 1 of 3)

“Narcissism is a seductive mask that hides a fragile soul, yearning for love it cannot give.” — Dr. Ramani Durvasula

🌀 From Narcissists to Energy Shapers: The Hungry Ghosts in Spiritual Communities

Energy Shapers in Spiritual Communities

I once believed narcissists and energy vampires would avoid spiritual communities, assuming their aversion to self-awareness would keep them from spaces rooted in “know thyself.” A couple of deeply personal encounters shattered that notion, revealing not only their presence but their prevalence—potentially two to three times higher than in the general population, where studies estimate 6.2% of adults exhibit traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). These individuals blend seamlessly into spiritual circles, wielding jargon and exploiting openness to siphon energy, often leaving lasting wounds. To foster healing dialogue, I’ve reframed them as Energy Shapers, a term that captures their impact while pointing to their potential for transformation. This post explores who Energy Shapers are, how they’re formed, why they thrive in spiritual communities, and how to spot them, using Archetypal Pentad 9: Ego’s Illusion and an archetypal hierarchy to ground the conversation in a trauma-informed lens.

My Story: A Collision with an Energy Shaper

Before exploring definitions and archetypes, I want to share my story—a collision that reshaped my understanding of spiritual communities. I met someone in a spiritual setting who appeared kind, open-hearted, and wise. Their words were captivating, filled with talk of unity, service, and love, suggesting a deep commitment to their spiritual path. Yet, over time, their actions revealed a stark contrast. The charisma that first drew me in morphed into self-absorption, marked by an inflated ego, a relentless need for attention and praise, subtle manipulations, and a disregard for my boundaries. I poured time and energy into supporting them, only to be met with empty promises or absence when I sought reciprocity. The aftermath was devastating—emotional exhaustion, eroded trust in spiritual spaces and people, and a lingering sense of self-doubt. It forced me to confront what it was within me that made me vulnerable to such dynamics, examining my boundaries and sense of worth. Sadly, this wasn’t an isolated incident; I’ve encountered an abundance of similar patterns since, though thankfully I learned my lesson well. These painful experiences taught me the critical importance of discernment and self-protection, guiding me to The Integrated Path to Awakening (TIPA) and a renewed dedication to authentic connection. They also inspired the term “Energy Shapers,” a way to name the harm without shunning, inviting healing for all.

Who Are Narcissists and Energy Vampires?

Narcissists, as defined by the DSM-5, exhibit a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, diagnosed as NPD when five or more traits are present, including exaggerated self-importance, entitlement, and exploitative behavior (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). NPD affects 0.5-5% of the U.S. population, with higher prevalence among men (7.7%) than women (4.8%) (Stinson et al., 2008). Narcissistic traits exist on a spectrum, impacting spiritual communities even without a diagnosis, as their self-esteem relies on external approval, making them adept at manipulation.

Energy vampires drain others’ emotional or psychic energy to feel validated, often overlapping with narcissistic traits. Spiritual teacher Jeffrey Martin describes them as creating warmth to gain acceptance, masking self-centeredness that leaves others depleted (Martin, 2020). In spiritual settings, they target empaths, feeding off attention, sympathy, or conflict. Both disrupt group energy, exploiting the openness of spiritual circles, with up to 60% of trauma survivors exhibiting related energy-draining behaviors (van der Kolk, 2014).

Introducing Energy Shapers: A New Term for Healing Dialogue

While “narcissist” and “energy vampire” are recognizable, their weight—clinical for one, predatory for the other—can shut down conversation, shunning both those harmed and those exhibiting the behavior. I propose “Energy Shapers”, a neutral term that captures their active, often deceptive manipulation of energy while pointing to their potential for transformation. This shift fosters dialogue in spiritual communities, acknowledging the “deeply injuring” impact without vilifying the person, who is often acting from trauma (Young & Klosko, 1993).

Why Energy Shapers?

The term reflects their archetypal roots and aligns with TIPA’s healing framework:

  • Archetypal Subpatterns: Energy Shapers are a composite shadow state, drawing from:
    • Vampire (Caroline Myss): Drains energy through manipulation, like emotional demands or guilt-tripping, to compensate for depletion (Myss, 2001). Their light side sources energy internally, becoming healers.
    • Shape Shifter: Adapts personas (guru, victim, child, lover) to siphon energy, using deception to gain power, as in shamanic traditions (Jung, 1964). Their light side transforms for growth.
    • Trickster: Employs cunning or chaos, like love-bombing or conflict, to capture attention (Campbell, 1949). Their light side disrupts for positive change.
    • Magician (Shadow: Manipulator): Uses charisma to control, posing as spiritual leaders to dominate (Moore & Gillette, 1990). Their light side empowers authentically.
  • Pentad 9: Ego’s Illusion: This framework, found in The Integrated Path to Awakening (TIPA), maps Energy Shapers’ journey:
    • Ego’s Illusion (Precursor): Seeks validation from insecurity, anxious to prove worth.
    • Shamed Ego (Shadow – Dorsal Vagal): Collapses into self-loathing (“I’m worthless”), seeking praise to mask shame.
    • Grandiose Ego (Shadow – Sympathetic Vagal): Projects superiority (“I’m above others”), manipulating energy.
    • Authentic Self (Balanced): Embraces true identity, valuing self and others equally (ventral vagal).
    • Radiant Presence (Elevated): Radiates light, inspiring unity (ventral vagal). Energy Shapers embody Shamed Ego (seeking validation) and Grandiose Ego (deceptive siphoning), with potential to reach Authentic Self and Radiant Presence through healing.
  • Archetypal Hierarchy: Energy Shapers are a shadow subset of the Shape Shifter, under the Ego’s Persona, blending Vampire’s energy theft, Trickster’s cunning, and Magician’s control. The hierarchy (visualized below) roots them in the Ego, with Shamed/Grandiose Ego driving their behavior, and Self (Authentic Self/Veyrin) as the healing goal.
Mind map illustrating the archetypal hierarchy: Core Archetype (Ego) branches to Persona (False Self), Shadow (Repressed Wounds), and Self (Authentic Self/Radiant Presence). Persona includes Shape Shifter with Energy Shapers (Shadow: Narcissists/Energy Vampires, sub-archetypes Vampire, Trickster, Magician) and Light Shape Shifter. Shadow includes Shamed Ego (Validation-Seeking Energy Shapers), Grandiose Ego (Manipulative Siphoning Energy Shapers), and Light Shadow. Self includes Healer, Mystic, and Veyrin. Colored nodes (gold, blue, gray, green) and connectors show relationships.

This mind map illustrates the archetypal hierarchy, a framework of universal patterns within our psyche, showing how Energy Shapers—narcissists and energy vampires—emerge from the Ego, our core identity. The Persona (blue) represents the masks we wear, where Shapers use deception (Shape Shifter) to manipulate, driven by sub-archetypes like Vampire (energy theft) and Trickster (cunning). The Shadow (gray) reveals repressed wounds, with Shapers fueled by self-loathing (Shamed Ego) or superiority (Grandiose Ego), often linked to addictive behaviors like seeking validation. The Self (green) offers healing, embodying authenticity through archetypes like Healer and Veyrin (sacred space-holder). In spiritual communities, Shapers exploit trust, but healing transforms their harm into growth, as explored in Posts 2 and 3 with TIPA’s support.

  • Why It’s Helpful: “Energy Shapers” is neutral, reducing stigma to invite dialogue, unlike “narcissist” (6.2% prevalence, American Psychiatric Association, 2013) or “vampire.” It highlights active manipulation (Grandiose Ego’s tactics) while showing the light potential (Shape Shifter’s transformation, Radiant Presence). This fosters accountability without shunning, aligning with TIPA’s ethos of compassionate inclusion, while also honoring the harm experienced.

From here, I’ll use “Energy Shapers” to describe these dynamics, reflecting their composite nature and healing path.

How Are Energy Shapers Formed?

Energy Shapers arise from childhood experiences, with 50-75% of NPD variance heritable and environment playing a key role (Torgersen et al., 2000). Common scenarios include:

  1. Excessive Praise and Overvaluation: Overpraised children develop entitlement and fragile self-esteem (Brummelman et al., 2015).
  2. Emotional Neglect and Inconsistent Validation: Unavailable parents drive children to seek attention through manipulation (Young & Klosko, 1993).
  3. Excessive Criticism and Conditional Love: Performance-based love fosters grandiosity to mask unworthiness (Kohut, 1977).
  4. Parental Modeling of Narcissistic Traits: Children adopt entitlement from narcissistic parents (Imbesi et al., 2019).

These create an inner void, with Energy Shapers’ behaviors (Pentad 9: Shamed Ego/Grandiose Ego) as coping mechanisms. This trauma-driven origin fosters compassion for their healing journey.


Why Do Energy Shapers Thrive in Spiritual Communities?

Spiritual communities’ compassion and non-judgment attract Energy Shapers, whose wounds fuel validation hunger:

  • Access to Attention: Group sharing feeds their need for recognition, drawing on Vampire and Trickster traits (Martin, 2020).
  • Control Over Vulnerable Individuals: Seekers in transition are targets for Shapers posing as mentors or guides, using Magician’s charisma (Brown, 2016).
  • Using Vulnerability as Currency: Exaggerated wounds monopolize attention, a Shape Shifter tactic.
  • Environment of Trust and Openness: Non-judgment reduces scrutiny, enabling manipulation (Durvasula, 2019).
  • Ambiguous Power Structures: Fluid hierarchies allow control, blending all subpatterns.

Spiritual settings attract personality disorders due to inclusivity (Lukowitsky & Pincus, 2013). Dr. Ramani Durvasula notes Shapers co-opt terms like “holding space” to evade accountability, weaving energy webs (Durvasula, 2019).

The Difference Between Masculine and Feminine Expressions

Energy Shapers’ traits vary by gender socialization, reflecting their archetypal roots:

  • Masculine Expressions: Assertive, they interrupt or act as advisors, using Trickster’s flattery or Magician’s dominance. They seek control through debate, drawing on Vampire’s energy theft (Twenge & Campbell, 2009).
  • Feminine Expressions: Relational, they play the “empath,” creating dependency with Shape Shifter’s adaptability. They overshare or gossip, using Vampire’s emotional siphoning (Grijalva et al., 2015).

Both exploit openness, blending subpatterns to shape energy dynamics.

Spotting the “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”

Energy Shapers disguise themselves, but Pentad 9 reveals their patterns:

  1. False Persona and “Chameleoning”: Crafting warm personas, they adapt to group needs, commandeering spiritual jargon (Grandiose Ego, Shape Shifter) (Durvasula, 2019).
  2. Grandiose Entitlement: Claiming divine gifts, heroic journeys, or deep mystical experiences, they form alliances to maintain influence (Grandiose Ego, Magician).
  3. Lack of True Accountability: Deflecting blame, they claim instant healing without change, thriving on praise or conflict (Shamed Ego, Trickster).
  4. Superficial Empathy: Platitudes vanish when needs arise, with excuses avoiding accountability (Shamed Ego, Vampire).
  5. Boundary Violations: Love-bombing/bread-crumbing creates dependency, followed by devaluation (Grandiose Ego, Shape Shifter).
  6. Taking Up All the Space: Extroverted Shapers dominate; introverted ones manipulate one-on-one, siphoning energy (Grandiose Ego, Vampire).

Sandra L. Brown warns spiritual circles’ empathy makes them vulnerable (Brown, 2016). Recognizing these protects energy with compassion.

Do Energy Shapers Belong in Spiritual Communities?

Energy Shapers deserve a place to heal, as Pentad 9’s Authentic Self and Radiant Presence suggest. Relationships reveal shadows for growth (Young & Klosko, 1993). However, their manipulation disrupts group energy and the sense of safety, which are vital for collective healing (Martin, 2020). Compassionate inclusion with accountability fosters growth.

Conclusion: Seeing the Hungry Ghosts

Energy Shapers, as Pentad 9 reveals, are wounded seekers whose manipulative patterns disrupt spiritual communities, leaving lasting wounds for those they target. Recognizing their traits—false personas, entitlement, boundary violations—empowers us to protect our energy with compassion. Post 2, Understanding Energy Shapers and Their Impact, delves deeper into the profound trauma inflicted by these hungry ghosts, exploring their impact across all contexts and the unique dynamics with empaths and healers, paving the way for healing and understanding.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and we are all part of a vast, evolving whole.” ~Teilhard de Chardin

Humanity is changing. Right now, we’re undergoing a profound shift—human spiritual evolution—that’s transforming not just our minds but our physical bodies. Spirit reveals we’re becoming vessels for higher vibrations, capable of holding powerful currents of love, light, and wisdom. This isn’t about escaping Earth. It’s about staying here, together, to co-create a new reality.

What Is Human Spiritual Evolution?

Our bodies are evolving to channel greater energy. Imagine your form as a living antenna, tuning into cosmic frequencies. This shift expands our capacity to connect deeply—with ourselves, each other, and the universe. Unlike past quests for solo enlightenment, human spiritual evolution is collective. Those who reach higher states don’t leave. Instead, they anchor their light here, sharing energetic blueprints that awaken others.

These blueprints, or codes, ripple outward. For example, one awakened soul can inspire dozens nearby, like a tuning fork harmonizing a choir. This collective awakening is why we’re here: to evolve together, not apart.

The Role of Conscious Partnerships

A key part of human spiritual evolution is balancing energies within us—feminine and masculine. These aren’t tied to gender but to universal qualities: intuition and action, softness and strength. First, we integrate these within ourselves. Then, we manifest this harmony in relationships.

Conscious partnerships—romantic, creative, or spiritual—are sacred spaces for growth. When two souls unite with intention, they create a synergy that amplifies their light. For instance, a couple blending their energies might spark new ideas or heal old wounds, radiating positivity to others. These unions dissolve duality, showing that feminine and masculine energies are complementary, not opposed.

This process mirrors the universe’s holographic nature. As we harmonize energies in partnerships, we heal the collective. Each conscious union sends ripples, accelerating human spiritual evolution for all.

Why Stay on Earth?

In traditional stories, ascended masters left Earth for higher realms. Today’s path is different. Those who awaken stay to share their light. Their presence transmits codes that uplift communities, like seeds sprouting in fertile soil. This is the heart of human spiritual evolution: embodying higher vibrations to transform our world from within.

This journey requires courage and tenderness. It asks us to trust our bodies, honor our connections, and see every relationship as a chance to grow. Together, we’re weaving a new blueprint for humanity—one of unity, love, and purpose.

Join the Journey

Human spiritual evolution invites us to awaken together. Every step you take—whether through meditation, conscious relationships, or inner work—contributes to the collective.

Awakening to Your True Self: The Power of Authenticity

Why Embracing Who You Really Are Elevates Your Vibration and Transforms Your Life More Than Love.

Introduction

Have you ever noticed that certain emotional states make you feel exuberant and light, while others make you feel heavy and burdened? This effect isn’t a coincidence. Each human emotion – and the resultant physical states they evoke – carries a charge. This charge influences our overall energetic frequency, or vibration. This vibration influences how we respond and it touches everything in our external environment.

While love is often presented as the highest vibration possible, Spirit showed me recently in journey that authenticity actually carries an even higher vibration and influences our vibrational profile more potently than love. 

In this article, I’ll explain why authenticity should be our desired state and the ultimate goal of our soul work. As part of that, I’ll discuss emotional states and their vibration, how to work with emotions in a state of self-awareness, and how all of this ultimately leads to profound transformation and a life lived with a foundation of empowerment and sovereignty.

Understanding Vibrational Frequencies

We are energetic beings. Within our bodies, our primary form of energy production is through cellular respiration, where nutrients, primarily glucose, are converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process occurs within the mitochondria of each cell. Of all the organs in the body, the one that produces the most energy is muscle tissue – including the heart – to fuel the function of contraction/relaxation, so much so that an electromagnetic field is generated around the heart and can be detected approximately a meter (3 feet) out from the human form. (This field is actually far greater than the field that is generated by the brain, which actually produces very little ATP on its own, instead consuming up to 20% of ATP produced elsewhere in the body in order to maintain cellular activity and neurotransmitter balance.)

Although the brain does not produce much energy in the form of ATP, it, along with the overall nervous system (including peripheral nerves), generates electromagnetic signals. These signals are produced when ions (charged particles) move across neuronal membranes, and these signals directly impact our ability to respond quickly to our environment, whether that is through activation of our sympathetic (fight or flight) or parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems. So, while this field is not measurable or detectable to same degree that the field emanating from the heart is, it still demonstrates that we are being designed to produce and respond to electromagnetic energy.

Electromagnetic fields – such as the one generated by the heart – create waves and these waves have vibrations and frequency. The vibration is simply the back and forth movement – oscillation – of the wave of energy. Frequency refers to the number of oscillations (vibrations) per a given unit of time, and is directly correlated to the amount of energy each photon contains. Thus when we refer to high and low “vibrations,” what we are often actually referring to is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave produced.

Are Some Emotions Better Than Others?

We often refer to high vibrational emotions (better termed “high frequency emotions”) – such as love and joy – and low – namely fear, and anger. While it’s likely possibly to correlate these ideas to specific biochemical processes in the body (a rabbit hole I started down), for the sake of brevity, let’s table the scientific explanation for a later time. 

In short, let’s just say that high vibrational emotions, being that they are correspondingly higher in energy, have effects on our energetic field that are expansive and opening and give us the feeling of lightness or – “high.” These emotions foster a sense of connectedness to other people, animals, nature, etc. In these emotional states, we have a tendency to be more giving, and – because of our expanded energetic field – better able to discern what’s happening in others near us, emotionally and motivationally. We term this empathy.

So called “low vibratory emotions” – i.e. lower energy – cause our energetic fields to contract, resulting in a heavy feeling. Rather than viewing these emotions as so-called “negative,” let’s give credit where credit is due. It’s actually by design that these emotional states – anger, fear, sadness, disgust – constrict our energetic fields. This constriction is intended to alert us that we need to turn our focus inward to explore the underlying cause of the emotion. 

Thus it’s important to feel all the emotions that arise within us, working with them constructively and without judgement. Nothing bad is going to happen to us, karmically or otherwise (no – you’re not going to miss out on the awakening into 5D!), when we feel “negative” emotions such as anger, fear, or sadness. On the contrary, not allowing ourselves to feel or acknowledge their presence suppresses them, forcing them into containment within our energetic fields. These containment systems require a great deal of energetic input, reducing the overall energy we have available to create, to inspire, to give – to love. Over time, the energy diverted into containment can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, and uninspired. With enough time – because the energy requirements to keep the containment system in place becomes too great to maintain – the containment systems begin to crack, releasing a torrent of unprocessed emotions that can wreck destruction in ourselves, our environment, and in those we love.

Thus, if we stop viewing emotions as “positive” and “negative” and instead focus on their intended purpose – as messengers – and if we work with those energies – constructively – then we can move through life with more ease, more energy, and clearer purpose. (Strategies for working with emotions constructively will be covered in a future post.)

What Is Authenticity?

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, being “Authentic” is defined as:

  • not false or imitation : REAL, ACTUAL
  • true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character
  • worthy of acceptance or belief

Thus authenticity is the state of being authentic, i.e. real, true to one’s self, and accepting that self as worthy and valuable, knots and all.

In order to achieve this state of being, we must possess, through a process of development and practice, these traits:

  • Self Awareness: We must be willing to look at – to see ourselves and feel our emotions. This requires actually being in the body (not dissociated) and in the present moment. That might sound overly simplistic, but in our fast-paced society filled with distractions, it can be quite difficult to achieve without practice.
  • Courage: Because we’re not composed of butterflies and rainbows, we need courage to see the parts of us that aren’t so pretty, i.e. the shadowy aspects of our psyches that develop through wounding. This requires that we develop a positive relationship to – or in the very least – a willingness to sit in – discomfort. 
  • Curiosity and Compassion: We are a multitude of traits, emotions, patterns, and beliefs. In short, we’re complicated (and if we weren’t, life would be exceedingly dull!) As we discussed with emotions above, if we get caught up in defining some aspects of ourselves as “positive” and others “negative” – i.e. if we start employing judgement instead of curiosity and compassion – we make some things more difficult to see and work with, while rendering other things completely invisible to our consciousness. This is because our ego/body consciousness is highly creative and it responds quickly to any threat to our survival, even if that threat is mental in nature only (i.e perception). 
  • Transparency/Vulnerability: Only once the previous three traits are developed – through practice – can we feel safe enough to really see ourselves – and risk being seen by others. This step is difficult because we all hold an inherent fear of public shame and ridicule. At a deep level, humans are tribal. We are programmed to exist within some type of social structure, and if we face ostracization – if we are removed from our social support group through judgement, shame, or embarrassment – then our survival feels threatened. This fear is deeply embedded within our psyches and, because the ego is quite clever when it comes to ensuring our survival, it will craft stories and create blinders to prevent us from acting, or sharing, in ways that might cause us shame or embarrassment. Thus the development of transparent vulnerability can be a long process, one that requires all of the self-awareness, courage, curiosity, and compassion one has developed in the first three steps. Once we’re able to be completely transparent and vulnerable, we are finally ready to work with our stories and narratives. It is here – in the release of limiting beliefs and conditioned patterns – that we are finally able to redraft new positive stories.

Authenticity is more than a personality trait. It’s developed through practice. When we cultivate the ability to be completely authentic, we move through the world with integrity. This vulnerable sharing of our truth makes authenticity an extremely high-frequency energy, because there are no hidden agendas and no masks; just pure truth.

The Essence of Love

When we consider the emotion of love, we often see it as the height of the human experience. After all, “love conquers all.” We crave love and acceptance because it ensures that we have an ally in this human game of survival that we call life. More than that, love helps us build our relationships into ones founded on empathy, compassion, and a desire for growth and betterment.

There are many types of love because we form many different types of relationships. Some of the most powerful forms are:

  • Self love: Respect and care for the self. Long viewed as “selfish,” now we realize that we must love ourselves in order to show up in our fullest, most compassionate potential.
  • Romantic/friendly love: Emotional connection with a partner or peer. This type of connection is often the stage for much of our inner work and reveals some of our deepest shadows. For instance, it is a known pattern that we often form romantic relationships with people that archetypally resemble (in temperament or personality) one of our parents (usually the one we have unresolved patterns with). In many ways, this type of relationship is the most challenging (perhaps behind self love in some instances) but it also has the most potential for deepening our healing work. It offers perspectives from a peer and an equitable stage on which to work through wounds and to practice vulnerability. These qualities have the potential to help us see our patterns more deeply and/or from a different perspective. Romantic love, because of shared commitments (which often includes children and basic survival) and physical act of love making, can make the bond potent and strong, but can also result in entanglement, in which we have trouble discerning our energies and beliefs apart from our partner. In all cases, consciously deepening in both our relationship to self and other yields potent healing potential.
  • Parental love: Deeply powerful and motivating, especially the love a parent has for a child. While this love is often quite strong on both sides, it is the least “equitable” love in that parent often feels strongly protective of the child, and perhaps less willing to be transparent in shortcomings, and the child feels the evolutionary impulse to change/do differently what the parent has modeled as they grow into independence. Particularly for parents, this relationship offers incredible motivation and inspiration for deep healing, as we wish to do right/better for our children. Children offer us one of the clearest mirrors into our behaviors, and can be great teachers to us.
  • Universal love: a general sense of love for all life, marked by feelings of compassion and empathy. This love is less “messy” but also does not offer the same potential for deeper healing work. However, it’s an excellent place to for respite and inspiration when other relationships feel too challenging or overwhelming. 

Obviously, this is a small sampling of the forms love can take. Additionally, the resulting relationships between self and other (because relationships are an alchemy of both participants’ personalities, temperaments, wounds, and more) are as varied and unique as the individuals participating in them. All relationships offer the impetus and opportunity to dive deeper into learning unconditional love, however, not everyone can master their wounds and shadows enough to yield to this impulse.

Why Authenticity Is a Higher Vibration

While love is powerful, authenticity holds a higher vibration. This is for several reasons:

  • Authenticity is Foundational. Within authenticity, we see ourselves and allow others to see us clearly. Without it, love can feel illusory, hollow, and/or conditional.
  • Authenticity is Empowering. Living true to ourselves empowers us to speak, act, and love more honestly and vulnerably. It creates congruency between the head and the heart, and alignment within our bioenergetic system.
  • Authenticity is Freeing. When we aren’t bound by or subconsciously motivated by expectations (originating within ourselves or pushed onto us by society or partners), we create space for change and growth. 

Authenticity amplifies the frequency of love, by rooting or grounding it in truth and reality. 

The Relationship Between Authenticity and Love

Authenticity and unconditional love are deeply intertwined. When we carry the energy of authenticity, our relationships and love are rooted in truth. Because authenticity displaces illusions and superficiality, it allows us to see, even circumvent, co-dependent, manipulative, conditional love in our relationships. Authenticity is the medicine that helps us identify and express our true needs and desires. Every relationship is a choice to take in and on the energy, wounds, and needs of another (this is not to say we’re responsible for those things, but we agree to be in relationship with them). With authenticity, we see the constituents of that choice clearly and this enables us to move through love more unconditionally and with fewer feelings of blame, shame, and resentment.

When we cultivate authenticity in ourselves, we can bring our whole selves into our relationships. This fosters trust and deeper connections to those we care about and love. In turn, they are more free to be their authentic selves. This synergy allows love to grow and evolve, making authenticity a powerful catalyst for deeper intimacy and true love.

Authenticity as a Gateway to Higher Vibrations

Living authentically means we’ve come to some sort of acceptance with ourselves. It uncouples our sense of who we are and our inherent worth from our wounded stories, allowing us to work within those narratives to create lasting change. The more we unwind these narratives, and break the containment of repressed emotions, the more energy we free up. This energy can now be used to fuel creativity and expansion into higher states of awareness.

Mindful Presence: A willingness to live authentically starts with mindful presence. We feel our emotions and stay conscious of our thoughts as they arise, tracking the energy back to past experiences or narratives to find their origin. From here we are free to sort and sift through what is ours, release what isn’t ours, and then examine what is expansive or contractive in nature. From there, we have the option to recraft a narrative that serves us rather than limits and holds us back. This process also awakens us to the existence of personal truth, based on perspective, as opposed to universal truth. We can hold our personal truth with sovereignty and empowerment, rather than feeling threatened by it. This allows us to avoid dogmatic beliefs and we release the need to be “right” in another’s eyes. This creates space for everyone to find, and live, their personal truths. In claiming our personal truth, we feel the need to defend or prove ourselves less (or not at all), rechanneling the energy previously used for defenses into fuel for growth and creativity.

Purpose: Knowing our truth enables us to know – and live – according to our purpose. When we are able to clearly see and accept our needs and desires, as well as our strengths and limitations, this shapes our purpose – our path – so that we are in alignment with all. This fosters movement with the tide of life, rather than fighting the current. When we stop fighting the inevitable challenges that life brings us, when we have faith in ourselves to accept whatever change life might ask from us, when we see more clearly our strengths and our limitations and learn to leverage them accordingly, then we move in response rather than reaction. 

Connections: Authenticity fosters deeper, more aligned and fulfilling relationships with others. When all the “facts are on the table,” each party can make clearer, more empowered choices to commit or move on. This is important because misalignment in our relationships can be a tremendous drain on us, mentally, emotionally, and energetically. Conversely, relationships that are rooted in truth and aligned in motivation become a potent energetic resource that fuels and nourishes both parties.

Thus, living authentically aligns us with universal energies, opening the door to more lasting and profound experiences with joy, peace, and enlightenment. Our energy is elevated and radiates to everyone around us.

My Personal Story with Authenticity

Not quite a year and a half ago, I started my practice being authentic. 

Now, I know how that sounds. It’s not as if I ever set out to be inauthentic. What I was, in actuality, was highly guarded. More than one energy worker had picked up on pronounced shielding in my energetic field. Where this shielding derived from is varied and complex, but in short it started with wounded patterns and limiting beliefs that prevented me from feeling I could be completely vulnerable and truthful in expressing my emotions, wants, and needs with the people around me.

About six months prior to this, a relationship with a man had developed. I kept picking up on conflicting energies on his part, a pronounced push-pull, that left me feeling deeply confused and vulnerable. I knew I had two choices; I could drop the relationship and seek safe ground, escaping the feeling of vulnerability. Or – I could lean in, embrace being vulnerable, and learn something about myself. 

This tendency to escape from anything resembling vulnerability was a deeply entrenched pattern for me; that much I knew. I could trace the pattern back through a multitude of experiences and as far back as I can remember. I had already begun my work with plant teachers and decided this was one I wanted Grandmother’s assistance with. (To be clear, working with plant medicines is a deeply personal choice and not recommended for everyone.) I went into ceremony with my intention set – “a willingness to be vulnerable.”

And – wow – what a ceremony. Ceremonial experiences can be incredibly varied. This particular ceremony was mostly somatic, at one point feeling as if I was being physically turned inside out. (It took me months to realize that bringing the inside out is, by definition, vulnerability, and thus was a direct manifestation of my intention.) It also manifested in a strong desire to sing along to any and all icaros and songs performed in the ceremony. This desire was deeply conflicting for me as I have always made it a point to avoid performing in any way in the presence of others, despite my profound love of singing. This weekend was also the first time that I willingly sat in an integration circle and shared my story. As I shared, I started crying, another thing I have always avoided doing in public. 

And while all of that is profound in and of itself, it really only opened the door to my vulnerability. Every ceremony after that has involved some element that required a deepening acceptance of my willingness to be vulnerable. Boy, do I have stories to tell! Experiences that would have once been mortifyingly embarrassing to me, I now find incredibly funny. People have seen me at, what I would have previously called – my “worst.” I’ve bawled and purged without shame in front of others, making a few messes that I couldn’t clean up on my own. I’ve sung in the group a few times solo, with body shaking, completely off-key and forgetting the words. I’ve danced. I’ve raged. I’ve laughed. And in one ceremony, I blacked out, having to ask others the next day what happened. (Never had I ever!) I’ve come completely unraveled and had to allow others to help right what they didn’t break. And – probably the hardest of all the experiences! – I’ve also had to sit, more than once, in the center of the group while they “celebrated” me. The first time, I literally cried the entire time. The second, I couldn’t stop laughing with joy. 

All of these very vulnerable experiences happened within a loving container of others also embracing their vulnerability. More than once, someone has told me that – what I would call my “mess” – was inspiring to them. And now, these people feel like my tribe and my family, where I am completely free, safe, and accepted. A gift that I couldn’t even comprehend when I started this journey.

My willingness to be vulnerable, and the positive experience of being accepted in that state, has led me to find my true, authentic self. I no longer feel I need to avoid challenging emotions or conversations. I’m willing to look – with curiosity – at how my shadow and ego come into play. I give significantly less thought or care to what other people are quietly thinking or feeling about me. I’m willing to be silly, look stupid, act weird, and not know an answer. I’m more willing to express what I want and need, and to ask for help or clarity. This hasn’t all come without a lot of leaning in and practice. Some days it’s hard. Others I don’t even think about it – it just happens. 

My spiritual journey has deepened and I see now a lot of things I didn’t before. I have a better idea of what I want and need, what I’m willing to accept, and what I’m not. I’m responding more and reacting less, and in turn, this allows me to see more and journey deeper.

And my relationships have blossomed. Well – most of them. The guy that the story started with? He’s long gone. I confided in a friend, in complete vulnerability, the entire story – something I would have never done before. But, I was desperate to understand what was happening and what I was missing. She looked at me and said, “Lose him. I mean it. Don’t ever talk to him again. He’s manipulating and using you.” Because she was willing to be real and authentic with me, and because I was willing to look at the implications of what she said without fear and judgment – as well at all the things about me that had allowed it to happen for such an extended amount of time – I had a shift into complete clarity. From there, I stepped into my power. As soon as I put boundaries up, the relationship imploded. His parting message to me confessed that he had used me. (Guess my friend had it right…)

Something similar has happened in a few other relationships, none quite so dramatic or long-standing, thankfully. These relationships had started more recently, after that fated August night when the medicine brought the courage to be vulnerable to my door. With these people, I had always been as authentic – as transparent and truthful, clear and direct – as possible. So that later, when their actions showed a lack of alignment with values I hold dear in relationships, it was clear to see. Because I had vulnerably shared by story with them, there was no maneuvering and no excuses, such as “I didn’t know you felt that way.” They knew and they made a choice. The misalignment between our values was clear, as was the decision to move away.

Aside from those few relationships, however, all others have blossomed. The new connections I’m forming are more genuine and the people are more aligned with my values. My longstanding friendships feel deeper, clearer, and I have more fun when I’m with them. With my children, I see this same deepening, and it feels as if each of my children has settled with more comfort into who they are. With others that I’m close to, I feel I can see more clearly the dynamics of our relationship, and with that, respond in ways that more aligned for me and compassionate towards them. Because I can see myself more clearly, and love the mess and challenge that I am, I am able to appreciate that dynamic – and the challenge it can be – in others. This allows me to hold better space for them. There’s no right, no wrong, just a path and journey of healing that might bring us together – temporarily or longer term – or move us away from each other.

Practical Ways to Cultivate Authenticity

Remember, authenticity starts with self-awareness, curiosity and non-judgement, courage, and vulnerability. It’s a practice that develops over time. It starts with knowing yourself and accepting all the various aspects you embody with tenderness.

  • Self-Reflection: Spend time understanding what makes you tick, what lights you up, and what creates tension and constriction. Ponder all of this without judgement. The ego can be obsessed with labels around good/bad, right/wrong; ask the ego to sit to the side and observe, but refrain from commenting. What we really need to know is, does it nourish you, light you up, or help you grow? If not, what’s keeping you tethered to it?
  • Set Boundaries: Protect your energy by saying no to what doesn’t align with you. Remember that boundaries and the sharing of your truth can have whatever energy is needed and appropriate to back them up. With vulnerability, we don’t have to deliver these with the intensity of an electric shock, but we can if or when the other person refuses to respect who we are and what we need. Thus vulnerability helps us not only accept our inner power, but also harness it in ways more appropriately to the given situation and person.
  • Embrace Vulnerability: Share your truth, even when it feels uncomfortable (and it will at times.) Now, it must also be said that this does not in anyway signify that every one is entitled to your story! Not everyone has healed enough, or developed the appropriate levels of emotional maturity, to hold our stories with the compassion, love, and integrity they deserve. We can – and should – still practice discernment in what we share, and with whom. The difference when we’ve embraced authenticity, however, is that we can decline to answer without resorting to defensive or evasive posturing. Authenticity allows us the ability to clearly see when it’s appropriate to share, and offers a simple choice: we can share our vulnerable truths, when it feels appropriate, or we can decline. No longer do we make this choice from unfounded fears or past narratives. We make it standing within our power and aligned to our truth. 

Conclusion

Authenticity and love are both incredibly transformative forces, but authenticity offers a more powerful, unique opportunity to deepen in our healing and expand our consciousness. By aligning inner truth with outer actions, authenticity creates a solid foundation, an underpinning that allows more pure versions of love to come through and more frequent and enduring experiences with other high-vibration emotions such as joy, hope, and peace. Living authenticity increases the amount of energy we have available to us; to create, to heal, and to expand our consciousness. It empowers us to live freely, connect more deeply, and vibrate higher. It’s the jet-fuel that will propel us into our awakening and evolution.

Shattered into Medicine: The Alchemy of Holding Space

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” ~ Khalil Gibran

The Universe’s Tough Love: Breaking Us to Hold Space as Medicine


“You are going to be a healer. But first, I’m going to destroy you so you can learn how to heal,” said the Universe. Spirit whispered something like this to me once—or maybe it shouted it through the chaos—and it landed like a stone in still water, sending ripples of unease, curiosity, and quiet recognition through my bones. It’s a paradox we’ve all felt at some point: the breaking we endure might just be what shapes us into carriers of medicine. Not the kind of healer who swoops in with fixes, but one who holds space—a steady, unshaken presence in the storm. Let’s walk through this together, honoring the tender places we’ve been cracked open and the strength stitched into the mending…


Redefining the Healer: Presence Over Perfection


We’ve got this image of a healer as the one with all the answers, stitching up the broken bits. But what if that’s not it? What if the real medicine lies in holding space—sitting with ourselves or others in the raw, unfiltered mess without rushing to smooth it over, without breaking the door down in our rush to get away? That’s the heart of this work. Whether we’re guides, friends, or just humans showing up, the power isn’t in solutions—it’s in presence.

Holding space is no small thing. It’s the quiet courage to witness pain—ours or theirs—without flinching or forcing it to resolve. It’s a container, a sacred boundary where transformation unfolds on its own terms. We don’t heal by erasing wounds; we heal by being with them, and in that being, we offer others the same gift. This is our medicine—not a cure, but a companionship through the dark.

The Wounded Healer: A Shamanic Echo


In shamanic traditions, the “wounded healer” isn’t some cute metaphor or spiritual jargon—it’s a truth carved in fire. Those who hold medicine have walked through their own flames. The Universe doesn’t break us to punish us; it dismantles us so we can learn to heal ourselves first. Because here’s the deal: we can’t hold space for anyone if we’re still bleeding out.

And oh, how different it looks from the outside. When you’re not “in it”—when your nervous system isn’t screaming, your mind isn’t a scatter of shards, your soul isn’t drifting—it’s easy to see how things should be. But step into the storm, and it’s a different beast. How do you hold logic, an open heart, and a grounded center when overwhelm floods your veins, emotions roar, and every path is cloaked in fog? It’s like juggling burning stones, praying one doesn’t crash down on you or those you love. You don’t get it until you live it. That’s why the Universe hands us this brutal gift: so when we hold space for someone else, we’re not just offering platitudes—we’re offering a hand that knows the weight of the shitstorm.

Self-healing isn’t a quick fix—it’s a slow tending to our shadows, a sitting-with that forges compassion from struggle, empathy from loneliness, resilience from survival. These aren’t just tools; they’re the threads of a strong container where others can unravel, heal, and rise. The wounded healer doesn’t lead from some polished pedestal but from a presence earned in the depths.

Holding Space: The Medicine We Carry


Let’s pause here, because holding space isn’t passive—it’s active, intentional, fierce. On a recent journey, I asked Spirit, “What does the world need most?” The answer came clear: “For people to remember how to hold space for each other.” It’s saying, “I see you, and I’m not scared of what you carry.” It’s a stillness that doesn’t demand, a silence that listens deeper than it speaks. It’s the medicine of being fully with someone—in their joy, their grief, their messy in-between.

For those of us called to this—teachers, parents, friends, guides—it’s our practice. We steady ourselves so others can lean in. We sit with our own discomfort so we can sit with theirs. And in that, we create something holy: a space where healing doesn’t need to be forced, just welcomed. This is what the Universe preps us for in the breaking—teaching us to hold the container, not to fill it.

Relationships: Mirrors of the Unseen


Where do we learn this most? Relationships. The ones we love, fight with, lose—they’re mirrors, reflecting our wounds and shadows with brutal clarity. A partner’s stubbornness might spark our own rigidity. A friend’s distance might tug at our fear of being left. These stings are gifts, showing us where we’re still tender, where we need to turn inward.

Relationships don’t just reveal us—they refine us. Every trigger is a quiet question: What’s stirring in me? What needs my care? When we lean into these tender spots—hurt, fear, anger, sadness—and let them be seen and felt, we show ourselves we can hold space. That’s where the nervous system comes in. Healing isn’t about being calm 24/7; it’s about cultivating a system that adapts, flows, and responds to the moment as it is. As we tend to these pieces, syncing with our own rhythm, we grow stronger—more capable of holding space not just for ourselves, but for those around us. Our connections become the forge where we’re broken and remade, where we learn that medicine isn’t about dodging pain—it’s about moving through it, together.

Trusting the Break, Embracing the Becoming


Here’s the raw truth: there are days I’d trade it all to unchoose this path. The moment I said yes to being a healer, my world shattered—and the last decade has tested me beyond measure. This is the vulnerable shape it’s taken: my husband and I built a house from the ground up, shortly after which I faced cancer in myself, and later lost my husband to it. More loved ones followed—my grandfather, two dogs I adored, and recently my mom, gone in a heartbeat—leaving me to guide my family through grief and the practical chaos she once held. I’ve carried a business, a sprawling home, and I’ve held my four kids through trauma that still echoes from a home invasion and the passings of their father and grandmother, all while menopause and soul-deep medicine journeys cracked me open further.

Then there were the relationships—men who used their spirituality as a mask, promising to hold space for me as I did for them. But each time shit got real, they vanished, teaching me the hard way how rare — and vital —dependability and steadiness is. Through it all, a few good friends stood firm, their quiet presence a lifeline when I couldn’t hold myself. That’s where I learned what it truly means to hold space: not just to say it, but to stay.

And yet, here’s the other side: I’ve been braver, stronger, more compassionate than I ever thought possible. I did it. I do it. And now I know I can.

The Universe might strip us bare, but it’s not the end—it’s the beginning. And listen – it’s not a competition. Maybe your life has been easier than mine since you chose to walk the medicine path, but maybe it’s been harder, too. In the end, it doesn’t matter; the only thing that matters is what we do with it all, how we use it to become better, stronger, more empathetic and compassionate. We’re not here to out-suffer each other or fix the world—or even one another. We’re here to tend to ourselves, to unearth the lessons carved for us alone. We’re here to hold space, to carry medicine forged in our own mending. Compassion, empathy, strength—these aren’t just tools; they’re the living legacy of our wounds.

So let’s trust this, even when it aches. We’re all wounded healers in the making, shaped by the cracks, softened by the stitching. The Universe breaks us not to shatter us, but to show us how to hold space—for ourselves, for each other, for the medicine we’re meant to share.

And if this stirs you, if you feel that call to hold loving space, I’ve got something coming. In four days, on April 8th, I’m unveiling a special offering—a proven framework to face your wounds, awaken your medicine, and step into being a sacred space holder.

The Energetic Codes of Flowers and Bees

The Energetic Codes of Flowers and Bees – A Path to Healing and Ascension

In journey recently, I’ve been shown a great deal about the energetic codes of flowers and bees and how importance it is for us to intentionally work with water and flowers, as well as how honey bees influence our human trajectory. They aren’t “just” pollenating flowers!

Imagine my surprise when a client having a QHHT session reiterated many of the messages I’d received while she was in the trance state. (We had not had any conversations during our initial conversation about these topics…) And this session happened two days after I’d met with my beautiful and cherished mentor who shared an experience she’d had many years ago about healing she’d received from the plants as she walked by them and gently brushed her hands against them.

To start, I’ll tell you a little about the information I’ve been receiving. It’s come through many journeys in an incremental fashion…

Understanding Energetic Codes of Flowers and Bees in Nature

In the beginning, I simply noticed that I was being shown flowers. Later, I would see bees visiting the flowers, flying first to one, then another, then going back to their hive. I could see their little dance they do at the hive, directing the other bees to specific flowers. At first, I didn’t really dive into the images too much; I guess I thought they were there to help calm and center me. But after a few journeys, I started to think maybe there was more.

In my last journey, I went deeply into what I was seeing and started asking a lot of questions of my guides. I was taken deeply into the flower. I could see the energetic transmission codes that flowers hold. All plants, in fact, possess these codes. These codes not only heal or offer “medicine” to those that consume them, but they are also codes that are participating in this current human evolution that’s unfolding. They release illness from the body and neutralize “poisons” that are blocking our ascension. These poisons include emotional trauma, mental conditioning, and more. In addition to releasing, they also offer codes that help to structure our energetic anatomy, perhaps even down to the cellular or genetic level, coding that facilities our ability to absorb higher frequency energy without taxing our systems so much.

More astoundingly, I saw that this “highway of information” is multi-lateral. Gaia herself transmits codes into the soil and water. Think of this transmission as the base code. The plants themselves modify the code – with the assistance of the bees. While all plants are able to do this, the flowers and fruits have the strongest code. Why? And how?

The Healing Power of Flowers’ Energetic Codes and Frequencies

The energetic codes of flowers start with their anatomy. The flower’s stigma leads down to the style and eventually the ovaries of the flower. Pollen is transferred, via bees and other pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, from the anthers (male) of one flower to the stigma (female) of another. When bees visit the flower, pollen from a flower’s anthers rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then takes this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma.

A flower becomes a fruit through a series of stages that involve pollination, fertilization, and growth and development. The ovary thickens and develops into the fruit’s outer wall. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds. Fruits are the ripened ovaries of flowers, and their main function is to spread seeds and help plants reproduce. (All flowering plants produce fruit, even if it’s not edible. For example, peppers and cucumbers are technically fruits, as are acorns, maple keys, and the outside of sunflower seeds.)

We humans consume plants, fruits, and seeds as part of a typical diet. As such, we absorb the energetic coding contained within. (Meats often also hold some level of coding, via plants they’ve consumed, but the potency is dramatically decreased.)

How Bees Facilitate Human Evolution Through Their Energetic Codes

Bees feed on and require both nectar and pollen. The nectar is for energy and the pollen is a primary source of protein, minerals, and fats for bees. Bees use pollen to feed their young, and newly emerged bees eat bee bread to complete their development. During the pollination process, the pollen sticks to the hairs on their bodies and legs to attract and groom the pollen into pockets on their legs or body. 

They then carry the pollen to another flower (cross-pollination) as well as back to their nest. Often bees will collect pollen in the morning and nectar in the afternoon. Within the process of collecting and transferring pollen, and the production of honey, bees are able to transmit vibrational codes, through frequency (honey bees vibrate in the range of 320 Hz), to the flowers (vibration around 6-120 Hz, with Roses having the highest vibration at 320 Hz) and honey (187 Hz).

Many cultures and philosophies believe bees are messengers between worlds: the human world and the divine. The Xhosa culture believes that a swarm of bees visiting a family is thought to be a message from the ancestors. In Hinduism, the gods Vishnu, Krishna, and Indra were called Madhava, which means “the nectar born ones”. The bee is their symbol, and Vishnu is often depicted as a blue bee on a lotus flower. So while Gaia transmits her codes through the soil and water, the divine transmits codes through the bees and other pollinators, including hummingbirds and butterflies. What makes bees so important in this context is their association with cooperative behavior. They represent harmony, abundance, and interconnectedness; all themes that are vitally important for humans to learn and embrace during this ascension process.

What do the Energetic codes of Flowers and Bees Mean for Us?

The energetic codes of flowers and bees are powerfully healing for us humans. As mentioned above, the consumption of flowers, fruits, even honey, for those who’s diets allow it, all imbue the physical body with potent energetic codes that help us release inner blockages, as well as upgrade our energetic fields in accordance with this very fast-paced evolutionary track we’re on currently. Seeds and nuts also carry these codes, as do plants and vegetables in general. In order for the code to remain as pure and potent as possible, it’s important to choose fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, as well as nuts and seeds that aren’t rancid. Foods that are grown and harvested by conscious individuals contain the highest potency, thus having a garden that you tend to personally will yield produce that is the highest vibration. Conversely, conventional fruits and vegetables, those that are not organic and or have sat on supermarket shelves (often after traveling great distances) are the least potent.

For those that consume meat, just be aware that meats do also contain coding, but it’s significantly less potent that those received via plants and/or honey. Following the pattern above, meats obtained through conscious hunting and/or raised in environments consciously constructed to resemble the animal’s natural environment (such as pasture-raised meats) are best.

Practical Steps to Align with Gaia’s Wisdom via the Energetic Codes of Flowers and Bees

When I was shown the energetic light codes of flowers and bees, one thing that was carefully pointed out is that we humans also influence this cycle. This can be done in a variety of ways:

  • Stay Conscious of your Choices. Grow your food and/or purchase food from local farmers who consciously and sustainably manage their farms.
  • Stay Conscious and Present When you are Cooking and Eating. Preparing food is a process during which we have a great deal of influence on the overall vibration and energy contained within our foods. Obviously, it is of importance that high quality foods be chosen, because they offer the most for us to work with, not only nutritionally, but also energetically. However, intention during preparation imbues the alchemical process of “cooking” with potential energetic influence. For instance, most of us have fond memories of our mother’s or grandmother’s cooking. This is because those foods were alchemized within a container of Mother’s love; a mother wanting to craft healthy, nutritious, and delicious food for her loved ones. Thus, when preparing meals, your attitude of conscious love, service, and gratitude likewise infuse into the food. (Life hack: traditional recipes, particularly those that have passed through your ancestral lines directly, hold very potent energy. This is because each time a recipe is prepared, it retains the energy of the preparer. Thus successive preparations using that recipe links back to each and every ancestor that also used it, amplifying the energy of the food.

    Similarly, remaining in a conscious state of loving gratitude while eating also potently influences the food itself. Not only does this state promote better digestion, extraction of nutrients, and elimination of wastes, it also reflects energy backwards and forwards to Gaia, to each plant and animal involved including the humans who tended, harvested, and prepared the food. This bubble of energy of loving gratitude is vast and extends far outward with only the minimal effort of remaining present while eating.
  • Be Out in Nature. When there, go barefoot, touch the earth, touch the plants in gentle and tender ways. Observe their uniqueness and beauty with gratitude and love. This is truly an amazing planet we’re blessed to be part of! (See “Blessing” below: principles of blessing can extend to every living part of nature.)
  • Pay attention to Waste. In particular, water and plant materials should (minus harmful chemical contaminants such as pesticide, herbicides, etc.) should definitely be thrown out into nature to decompose. Urinating outdoors or using methods such as compostable toilets and/or septic systems, allows our water to return the Earth rather than processed through chemical-heavy water treatment plants.
  • Source your Water. Similar to the idea presented above regarding foods, it’s important to source your water from a clean, reliable source. Tap water that has been treated in water treatment plants is usually heavily contaminated with chemicals and is essentially “dead water.” Water from potable springs is best, as is any water contained within fresh or minimally processed plants; this water is considered “alive” and the codes contained within are not only intact, but potent. Well water from underground aquifers that haven’t been contaminated through factory farming is also a good source.
  • “Blessing” Your Water and Food. Key figures such as Masaru Emoto, Jacques Benveniste, Luc Montagnier, Gerald Pollack, Vladimir Poponin, and Peter Gariaev all propose ideas that are congruent with the power of prayer and intention to influence water. In particular, Masaru Emoto, in the 1990s and early 2000s, demonstrated that emotions, projected into water and later frozen, displayed different crystalline shapes depending on the particular emotion present in the focused intent. So called “positive” emotions (high vibration), such as joy, gratitude, and love, produced crystalline patterns that were highly ordered and symmetrical. “Negative” emotions (low-vibratory) such as anger or hate produced instead crystalline shapes with a high degree of fragmentation and disorder. Jacques Benveniste, Luc Montagnier, Vladimir Poponin, and Peter Gariaev similarly propose that water crystals can “programmed” by different solutes within the water and that this programming remains even once the material is removed. Thus forms the basis of approaches such as Homeopathy but also reinforces why water filtration systems might yet be a poor substitute for pure water sources. Gerald Pollack’s work – too complex to go into detail here – postulates a “fourth phase” of water called exclusion zone (EZ) water. This phase represents a structured, gel-like state of water that exists in a unique form and may help us better understand physiological processes and could extent into novel approaches to environmental issues. If we extend these ideas to food, each molecule of water within the food similarly holds programs within their crystalline structures, thus organic fresh, high-water content foods in raw form are going convey the greatest code transference potential to us. When we “bless” our water, and food, with positivity – i.e. gratitude, joy, and love – then we can influence the crystalline structure within the water molecules themselves, and that in turn, nourishes us in a different way, and at a far deeper level, than “conventional” food. (Also note that “enjoying” your food while you eat, actually relishing the tastes and textures, enjoying other people or animals present, etc., all contribute the potentiality of the vibrational energy of the food.)
  • Next level “programming…” We can use natural items, such as flowers and crystals, sound waves, and more to program our water. (Be aware of which stones or flowers might be toxic and should not be placed in water to program it. There are a number of each. There are other ways around this, to be discussed in a later post.)

A Final Note

I’ve noticed before a very human tendency to want to take on ownership or responsibility for something or someone. At the root of this is a very pure desire and intention to be of service. And while that is a beautiful sentiment, it can lead the ego/shadow expressions if not done consciously and with humility. What this can look like is the intention taken to unhealthy extremes. Anxiety if, for instance, one forgets to bless or be in a state of gratitude while eating, or one buys flowers that are grown with unhealthy chemicals. In a world that generally lives far away from ecologically sustainable ideas and practices, it’s easy to fall short. Don’t stress. Stress will actually program in a direction that is chaotic and fragmented, so acknowledge and let go.

“Preaching” to others can similarly lead the energy astray. Conscious Conversation that is non-judgmental and open can be beautifully inspiring without the heavy energetic toll lecturing can being. Finally, for all the beautiful light workers out there wanting to deliberately influence codes, particularly through “channeled” or similar guidance, please be careful. Stay very conscious about your intention, paying particular attention to any skin you have in the game (so to speak). “Skin in the game”, i.e. having very one-sided, specific, preferred outcomes can be a sign that the ego or shadow is stealthily making an entrance.

Remember, the highest outcome can be achieved, not through any individual judgement or perception, but through enveloping energies of love, gratitude, and support. Sending codes that are based in gratitude, love, joy are the only intentions truly needed. Life is about enjoyment, and our pure pleasures of love and joy are the greatest influence we have on the future of humanity.
