There is an art to self-deception, not the loud and obvious lie but the polished one. The kind that lets you look in the mirror and still feel clean, still feel like a good and decent person with a whole identity. We are skilled at editing our own story, especially...

When the world decides who you are
If you do not tell the world who you are, you will slowly grow into what the world needs you to be. Every group has its own energy. We can consider it a mood or an unspoken agreement about how people behave. It can also be called an egregore, a combination of the...
When belonging starts to cost you
In one way or another we all try to fit in. At home, at school, at work, in social circles and hobby groups... no one wants to be the outsider. And if we are, we would rather not be alone, so sometimes we attach ourselves to whoever will have us, even if that group...
when thinking gets in the way of knowing
In the previous email, I shared how energy offers a direct way to understand the unconscious, often faster and clearer than dreams or other means. By paying attention to bodily sensations, we can read what is happening within us and around us in real time. This kind...

In inner power and magnetic work, it is essential to notice why you behave the way you do. This is how you begin to understand the deeper role energy plays in your life. You may not realize it, but most of your behavior is not rational. It is automatic and reactive....
energy first, stories second
Everything we experience, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, is energy first and story second. Before we label, judge, or explain anything, there is movement: energy expands or contracts, it flows or gets blocked, it becomes coherent or fragmented. Only...
From explosion to awareness
Changing yourself - your behaviours, emotions, and reactions to energy — is never an easy task. One moment a hot energy surges through you... the next, you explode at someone you care about before you even realize what happened. These shifts happen in seconds, often...
The hungry judge effect
An interesting study, well-known in the behavioral science academic community, is the "hungry judge effect." This phenomenon reveals a pattern where judges' verdicts tend to be more lenient after a meal break. In fact, the single biggest predictor of whether a judge...
