YOU ARE THE

Shadow Code of Strength

RELIABLE • CONSISTENT • STRUCTURE

You find safety in order and STRENGTH IN RELIABILITY.

You build stability through structure, detail, and follow-through. When others lose focus, you hold the line. Your loyalty and consistency give people confidence, yet you can carry too much weight when others don’t meet your standards. Much of your life has been learning that being dependable doesn’t mean doing everything yourself. You’re learning that control doesn’t equal safety and that real strength includes trust. You bring integrity and calm to what you build, but you’re also learning to let things unfold without proof, to let order breathe, and to trust that reliability can exist without rigidity.

your SUPER POWER

You transform responsibility into grounded leadership. Your reliability creates structure and steadiness, helping others feel secure and supported through your calm authority and commitment to what truly matters.

the EGO

You can cling to being the only one who does things right. You overcommit, overcorrect, and quietly resent others for not matching your effort, mistaking rigidity for responsibility.

Detangling your Shadow Code means trusting progress over perfection and letting steadiness include flexibility, rest, and shared responsibility.

Your Code Breakdown

THE CHANNEL OF MEMORY

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 SENSING: Applies lived experience to the present moment to create accuracy, reliability, and inner stability.

HERO SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE SPLEEN RESERVE

• Stability • Self Trust • Empathy • Ruminition

OVERVIEW:

Introverted Sensing references detailed internal memory to verify the present, comparing new input against stored sensory records. It builds mastery through repetition, familiarity, and procedural accuracy, reducing uncertainty. When stress rises, the body can tighten around worst-case patterns.

A replenished Spleen reserve grounds this system, transforming worry into clarity and restoring somatic trust so you can stabilize, focus, and confidently integrate the past with the present.

Stability · Trust · Grounding

THE CHANNEL OF EXECUTION

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 THINKING: Implements organized strategies to move ideas into structure, results, and tangible outcomes.

PARENT SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE GALL BLADDER RESERVE

• Boldness • Resolution • initiative • Bitterness

OVERVIEW:

As The Parent channel, Extraverted Thinking supports others by building structures, policies, and timelines that guide goals and protect the whole system. It delegates clearly, spots obstacles, and devises practical solutions without needing to do every task itself. This can feel helpful yet occasionally patronizing or overly corrective.

A replenished Gallbladder reserve channels initiative into clean direction, reducing overcontrol so leadership feels steady, strategic, and supportive rather than scolding or rigid.

THE CHANNEL OF VALUES

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 FEELING: Aligns choices and expression with deeply held personal values to maintain authenticity and peace within.

CHILD SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE PERICARDIUM RESERVE

• Trust • Intimacy • Compassion • Jealousy

OVERVIEW:

As The Child channel, Introverted Feeling holds values with innocent intensity, feeling deeply loyal, passionate, and protective of what feels right. It seeks moral clarity and can become hurt when loyalty is not returned or beliefs are dismissed. At times, it may idealize its ethics or sound preachy when misunderstood.

A replenished Pericardium reserve eases emotional tension, restoring playful openness and self-trust so sincerity replaces rigidity.

Loyalty · Sensitivity · Idealism

THE CHANNEL OF OPENINGS

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 INTUITION: Explores external patterns and emerging ideas to reimagine what could be improved, evolved, or created next.

SHADOW DOOR SOMATIC ZONE:

• THE LIVER RESERVE

• Creativity • Adaptability • Expansion • Irratibility

OVERVIEW:

As The Shadow Door channel, Extraverted Intuition can fear change, catastrophizing over endless what-ifs and clinging to the status quo when stressed. Intuitive impressions may rush in too quickly to express, creating a sense of chaos or loss of control. Yet unexpected creativity and internal opportunities for improvement can emerge.

A replenished Liver reserve eases irritability, enabling gentle flexibility and perspective without collapsing into anxious possibility spirals.

The Art of Detangling

Your Code

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.
