You see potential everywhere. Every person, idea, and moment feels alive with meaning waiting to happen. Possibility feels like oxygen to you. Your energy pulls people in because you remind them what’s possible. You connect through honesty and warmth, even when your own feelings are tangled beneath the surface. Much of your life has been learning to slow down long enough for what matters to take root. You don’t want to be boxed in, yet you crave something real enough to hold onto. You carry both wonder and restlessness, the hope that this time the next idea the next connection might finally feel like home.
You bring colour and possibility into motion. You help people see what could be, sparking creativity, courage, and connection that move ideas from inspiration into genuine, shared experience.
You can chase excitement to avoid stillness, saying yes to everything until nothing feels fulfilling. You hide exhaustion behind charm and defend freedom when all you really want is safety.
Detangling your Shadow Code means slowing down enough to follow through, letting inspiration root in consistency so creation becomes peace, not escape.

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:
EXTROVERTED INTUITION: Explores external patterns and emerging ideas to reimagine what could be improved, evolved, or created next.
HERO SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE LIVER RESERVE
• Creativity • Adaptability • Expansion • Irratibility
OVERVIEW:
As The Hero channel, Extraverted Intuition perceives emerging possibilities in every direction, free associating ideas and drawing connections across topics, people, and patterns. It thrives on novelty, external input, and conceptual play, shifting direction as options appear. This channel initiates ideation, energizes groups, and enables potential by opening pathways for ideas to take form.
A replenished Liver reserve releases stagnation, allowing creative expansion to flow into tangible opportunity.

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
INTROVERTED FEELING: Aligns choices and expression with deeply held personal values to maintain authenticity and peace within.
PARENT SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE PERICARDIUM RESERVE
• Trust • Intimacy • Compassion • Jealousy
OVERVIEW:
As The Parent channel, Introverted Feeling nurtures connection through empathy, openness, and shared sincerity. It values honesty and harmony, affirming everyone’s right to feel different while quietly holding high ethical standards. This channel can overextend in caring, struggle with boundaries, or take judgment personally.
A replenished Pericardium reserve restores emotional safety, softening reactivity and enabling authentic compassion without losing self-trust or integrity.
Empathy · Boundaries · Authenticity
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:
EXTROVERTED THINKING: Implements organized strategies to move ideas into structure, results, and tangible outcomes.
CHILD SOMATIC ZONE:
THE GALL BLADDER RESERVE
• Boldness • Resolution • Inititave • Bitterness
OVERVIEW:
As The Child channel, Extraverted Thinking enjoys taking charge in playful bursts, finding fun in organizing tasks or solving challenges, yet may overcomplicate directions or micromanage inconsistently. Advice can come with childish certainty, and suggestions may feel like demands. This channel struggles to find its own voice of authority and may hide leadership needs under humour.
A replenished Gallbladder reserve steadies irritation, enabling clear boundaries and gentle structure instead of frustration or bossiness.
Playful · Organizing · Irritated
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
INTROVERTED SENSING: Applies lived experience to the present moment to create accuracy, reliability, and inner stability.
SHADOW DOOR SOMATIC ZONE:
• THE SPLEEN RESERVE
• Stability • Self Trust • Empathy • Ruminition
OVERVIEW:
In the Shadow Door Channel, the past can grip the body tightly, replaying errors and magnifying discomfort. Rigid routines, hypersensitivity, compulsive checking, appetite shifts, or disrupted sleep may follow. Shame can surface as you measure yourself against old standards, tightening the nervous system.
A replenished Spleen reserve helps worry move somatically, reducing looping fixation and reestablishing internal trust so your body stops bracing against what already happened.
Fixation · Tension · Release

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.
