You’ve always sensed there’s more happening beneath the surface. The patterns in people, timing, nature, and circumstance all speak to you, threads forming meaning before life reveals the story. You notice what others miss and often hold quiet certainty about what’s coming, even when you can’t explain how you know. Much of your life has been learning to let the world catch up to what you’ve already seen unfolding. That awareness can feel both profound and lonely. You want to be seen for your depth, not your distance, for the way you feel truth moving long before it’s visible.
You bring depth to moments others skim past. Your foresight gives you a deep purpose to create a better world, helping people and systems find direction, coherence, and genuine connection.
You may at times cling to being the all-knowing one, becoming aggravated when others reject your insight and become tunnel-visioned on the future you see. Rigid expectations harden, and emotional burnout sets in when it’s all too much.
Detangling your Shadow Code means LEARNING TO trust in the divine TIMING of what you see, staying grounded in the present, and remembering you don’t need to PULL the future into THE now to PROVE YOU WERE right.

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE HERO
• Your leading most dominant channel
• Moves with confidence and effortless energy
• Forms a large part of your ego
• Can become inflated when challenged
The Hero channel is where you instinctively lead from, carrying a familiar sense of strength, direction, and capability. It gives you confidence to engage and persevere through whatever life brings. Because it feels flawless, you may turn to it automatically and defend it strongly.
When it feels challenged, you might rush to protect its value or seek recognition for what it contributes. When overidentified with, the Hero can create a superiority complex, pushing you to assume you are always correct. Growth comes from recognizing its limits and allowing other channels to contribute.
HERO COGNITIVE FUNCTION:
INTROVERTED INTUITION: Interprets symbols and subconscious patterns to reveal deeper meaning and foresight for what is unfolding.
HERO SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE KIDNEY RESERVE
• Willpower • Depth • Dread • Paranoia
OVERVIEW:
As The Hero channel, Introverted Intuition perceives deeper patterns beneath events, people, and places, forming a singular inner vision that guides direction and meaning. It synthesizes symbols, impressions, and timelines into a cohesive sense of where energy is moving. This channel reads between the lines, anticipates outcomes, and connects personal purpose to something larger.
A replenished Kidney reserve supports you by providing the inner resolve and willpower to trust your inner visions and pattern recognition, anchoring steady forward momentum in quiet somatic certainty.

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE PARENT
• Guides, supports, and contributes
• Motivated by service, growth, and care
• Forms part of your ego
• Can become overprotective or intrusive
The Parent channel offers wisdom, guidance, and nurturing energy. It shows up when you feel responsible for helping others grow or when you sense someone needs support. This channel doesn’t seek admiration; it wants to know it made a meaningful difference. As the co-pilot to your Hero, it steadies your dominant energy and brings balance to how you engage the world.
If the Hero moves outward, the Parent grounds you inward; if the Hero turns inward, the Parent helps you connect and express outwardly. When overidentified with, it can become patronizing or limiting to others’ independence.
PARENT COGNITIVE FUNCTION
EXTROVERTED FEELING: Creates emotional understanding and shared harmony to foster connection and collective wellbeing.
PARENT SOMATIC ZONE:
THE HEART RESERVE
• Joy • Love • Compassion • Vulnerability
OVERVIEW:
As The Parent channel, Extraverted Feeling nurtures emotional safety by affirming others and fostering harmony. It naturally senses what people need to feel cared for and creates connection through encouragement and empathy. This channel can overextend, taking responsibility for everyone’s feelings or clinging to outdated bonds.
A replenished Heart reserve restores balance, allowing compassion to support rather than overprotect and connection to stay reciprocal.
Nurturing · Empathy · Balance
THE CHANNEL ENERGY: THE CHILD
• Seeks reassurance and attention
• Wants to please but is unreliable
• Forms part of your ego
• Can throw tantrums under stress
The Child channel holds innocence, imagination, and a desire to be seen. It brings fun, curiosity, and creative ideas into your system, often in unexpected ways. Because it feels tender, you may overestimate its maturity or promise more than you can deliver. When this channel feels unseen or dismissed, disappointment or emotional reactions can surface quickly.
This channel works opposite your Parent Channel to maintain internal balance. If your Parent moves outward, the Child draws energy inward to rest and replenish. If your Parent turns inward, the Child directs energy outward to re-engage with life.
CHILD COGNITIVE FUNCTION:
INTROVERTED THINKING: Builds internal frameworks that bring precision, clarity, and logical coherence to how things work.
CHILD SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE SMALL INTESTINE RESERVE
• Clarity • Insight • Discernment • Panic/overwhelm
OVERVIEW:
As The Child channel, Introverted Thinking delights in clear principles, elegant models, and simple frameworks that feel truthful and fair. It can fixate on one idea, cling to precise wording, or lecture passionately about what seems logically correct. This channel values honesty, yet may apply logic too rigidly or feel exhausted by overanalyses.
A replenished Small Intestine reserve sorts helpful details from clutter, easing mental tension so clarity feels playful rather than stubborn or draining.

THE CHANNEL ENERGY: SHADOW DOOR
• Sits on border of your conscious awareness
• Acts as a bridge into the unconscious
• Activates under stress and feels difficult to control
• Is your most potent channel for transformation
Your Shadow Door Channel sits at the edge of consciousness. It is your weakest channel while simultaneously holding the most transformative potential. Under extreme stress, this channel can mute your Hero Channel and take over your code, allowing shadow complexes to surface and creating “was that really me?” moments.
You may find yourself drawn toward people who are strong in this channel, or experiences that require its use. However, this pull can swing between over-idealisation of those who excel here and judgment toward them, creating tension until balance is restored. At times, its influence can feel alluring, leading you to overestimate your skill with it.
SHADOW DOOR COGNITIVE FUNCTION
EXTROVERTED SENSING: Engages directly with the environment, responding instinctively to what is real and alive right now.
SHADOW DOOR SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE STOMECH RESERVE
• Nourishment • Satisfaction • Grounded • Depletion
OVERVIEW:
When Extraverted Sensing sits in the Shadow Door, the sensing world can feel overwhelming or disorienting, especially in unfamiliar environments. You may become hyper attuned to aesthetics, textures, or atmosphere, and impulsively reach for sensory escape through food, drink, purchases, or stimulation. Addictive behaviours can emerge as grounding is sought externally.
A replenished Stomach reserve settles cravings and energy drain, easing overwhelm and restoring calm, embodied presence so the physical world feels supportive rather than consuming.
Overwhelm · Impulse · Grounding

When you first meet your Shadow Code, it can feel like holding a LARGE knotted ball of string.
All your channels tangled together, nothing quite making sense.
You might wonder if you have the time or energy to untangle it. But as you begin on one small knot, things start to loosen. The channels become clearer, the body unwinds, emotions release, and your somatic reserves replenish.
Some knots tighten before they release, yet each one you untangle brings you deeper into yourself. This is the lifelong journey of detangling, the slow intimate descent back to self.
To know self is to have journeyed through the detangling, to have met the knots, the tension, and the resistance, and stayed. It’s not about awakening or reaching higher states, but about finding quiet joy in the slow unraveling, the peace that comes when nothing needs fixing, only understanding.
Start the process of detangling your channels and uncover how your ego, shadow patterns, and power intertwine.
