Everything Is Energy, So
How Does Your Worldview Translate To Frequency:
A worldview
A worldview exists as a bandwidth in what we call the ‘Field’ of energy, of consciousness that already exists everywhere and all around us. While everyone has the potential to ‘tune in’ to different bandwidths in the Field, most are ‘attuned’ (paying attention) to only one or a few certain bandwidths. It’s like turning the dial on your radio to be able to hear different ideas being broadcast. The more you attune to a bandwidth of ideas, you begin to have a more coherent ‘conversation’ with the universal Field at that frequency, at that level.
To adjust the ‘dial’ you adjust your inner attunement. This allows you to sense (with all your senses, and your intuition) what life is like at that frequency. This means all the emotions, thoughts, experiences, people, situations, possibilities, in other words all the shadow and all the light within that range. In other words, the extent to which your your thoughts, emotions, and actions are aligned, is the extent to which your system can maintain coherence. As you increase your coherence, the reach of your energy field also increases. This increase is seen not linearly, but spherically, or more specifically, like a torus field, radiating from the center and growing larger around you, returning to the center.
The field is limitless, and includes all sorts of experiences. What you ‘put out’ is responded to in nature, and others around you, through which the universe is able to mirror back to you your relative coherence, as well as the areas you need to work on balancing. Whatever you notice from without, is direct feedback as you build your framework of meaning. The goal is to understand your interconnection with the all. Yet, many at first perceive only separation — or what some call separation consciousness. As much as we try, we learn time and again that we cannot shift things from the outside. Ultimately, the work of realignment begins within. And so the cyclic momentum of this call and response continues until at the level of our inner energetic architecture, each petal finds greater synergy within the whole flower of your life and you find yourself in a flow state with the field.
As you are evolving your core stability at each level, the relative coherent frequencies of your physical, emotional, and mental states will end up registering in your aura and triggering or attracting situations, people, and experiences to you that match that relative incoherence or coherence. As you practice, or as life ‘life’s’, you slowly discover your capacity to be able to maintain states of heightened presence, compassion, and alignment. As this self-regenerating momentum grows, a wider, more empowering, and synchronistic energy field grows and the more synchronistic and effortless life will become. Like being at the center of a torus rather than following a limited cycle or timeline. Everyone has their own unique opportunity to become as coherent as possible, based on our uniqueness, because we each embody the possibility of “being and becoming” from our own center, ie. our torus field can be in harmony with those all around us — as the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life shows us.

ORANGE Outer Success
Orange WORLDVIEW
The orange value system focuses on reason, science, and technology. It is characterized by a focus on achieving goals and objectives through using rational, logical thinking and applying scientific methods. According to the Spiral Dynamics model, this value system is often associated with modern industrial societies and is considered the fifth level of human development. People in orange vMeme tend to be ambitious and goal-oriented; they value progress, efficiency, and results. They tend to be rational, logical, and analytical in their thinking and problem-solving. They are driven by a desire for knowledge and understanding and use scientific and technological methods to achieve their goals. They tend to be individualistic and competitive, valuing independence and self-reliance. They have little regard for tradition and are skeptical of spiritual or religious beliefs.
GREEN Relationship
GREEN WORLDVIEW
The green value system represents a focus on community and ecology, as well as a concern for the well-being of all. It is characterized by a holistic, systems-thinking approach and values such as unity, cooperation, and sustainability. This value system is often associated with post-modern and post-industrial societies. It is considered to be the most advanced of the eight value systems in the Spiral Dynamics model.

Mastery of Storytelling: Jobs made Apple's journey and products compelling narratives.
Tesla: The "Orange" Organization
In essence, Musk and Tesla leverage the strategies and drive of the Orange meme to pursue goals that might also align with later-stage values (like the Green meme's focus on sustainability), but they do so using the individualistic, performance-focused, and competitive methods characteristic of Orange.
Tesla, as a company under Musk's leadership, exemplifies the Orange meme through its:
Innovation and Progress: Tesla's focus on electric vehicles, battery technology, and autonomous driving represents the Orange drive to disrupt existing systems (like the traditional auto industry) through innovation and technology.
Market-Driven Strategy: The company operates within free-market capitalism, where competition is a key driver. Its success is measured by metrics like market valuation, production output, and stock performance, which are core Orange values (results rule).
Status and Image: Owning a Tesla can be a status symbol, appealing to the Orange desire for affluence and an image of being cool or forward-thinking, even while also tapping into the Green value of environmental consciousness.
Meritocracy and Efficiency: The company culture emphasizes efficiency and results-oriented performance, where individual contributions are highly valued and rewarded.
Tesla, Space X, etc
Elon Musk, Tesla co-founder and CEO
Elon Musk and his various companies including Tesla, Space X, and more are prime examples of the Spiral Dynamics "Orange" meme (Achievement/Prosperity mindset) through their embodiment of individualism, strategic thinking, innovation, and pursuit of success and material progress.
Elon Musk: The "Orange" Entrepreneur
Elon Musk personally reflects the Orange value system through his:
Individualism and Self-Reliance: He is the quintessential self-made entrepreneur who believes in individual capability and meritocracy. He often emphasizes personal accountability and expects employees to take ownership and initiative, rather than relying on group consensus.
Rationality and Science-Based Thinking: Musk frequently applies "first principles" thinking, a rational, scientific, and logical approach to problem-solving, which is a core tenet of the Orange worldview. This approach values objective, analytical thinking over tradition or dogma.
Ambition and Goal-Orientation: He is highly driven by ambitious, large-scale goals, such as colonizing Mars or accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. This reflects the Orange drive for achievement, progress, and making a significant personal mark on the world.
Risk-Taking and Flexibility: Orange individuals are opportunistic and pragmatic, willing to challenge and rewrite rules if it leads to better results. Musk's management style often involves intense, focused bursts of work and a willingness to take large risks to achieve his vision, such as pushing for extreme automation in factories.
MORE WELL KNOWN BRANDS
Progressive business models that operate with a "yes/and" approach balance traditional financial goals with social and environmental impact, often referred to as the Triple Bottom Line (people, planet, and profit). These companies view purpose and profit as mutually reinforcing rather than mutually exclusive.
Here are examples of companies and the CEOS/leaders who have embodied this approach:
Brands and Companies
Patagonia: This outdoor apparel company is an exemplary "yes/and" business, guided by the mission, "We're in business to save our home planet". They commit 1% of sales to environmental causes and encourage customers to repair gear rather than buy new, which builds significant brand loyalty and has led to substantial sales growth.
Ben & Jerry's: The ice cream brand is famous for integrating social justice advocacy into its core operations, addressing issues like climate change and racial equality. They use fair trade ingredients and transparently report on their social mission alongside financial performance, proving that a strong ethical stance can be a key differentiator.
Haier: Led by former CEO Zhang Ruimin, the company uses the Rendanheyi model, structuring its employees into 4,000 self-managing micro-enterprises. This decentralized structure fosters autonomy and internal market dynamics, balancing large-scale operations with entrepreneurial agility.
W.L. Gore & Associates: This manufacturing company (famous for Gore-Tex) operates on a "lattice" model with no fixed hierarchy, promoting direct person-to-person communication and self-governance. This structure emphasizes individual autonomy and natural leadership, allowing for continuous innovation while maintaining a large, stable organization.
Toms Shoes (and similar one-for-one models): While the model has evolved, the core "one-for-one" approach initially balanced selling a product with a direct social good (donating a pair of shoes for every pair sold). This aligned commercial activity directly with a positive social impact, a clear "yes/and" proposition.
Etsy: As one of the largest certified B Corporations, Etsy balances a global e-commerce platform with the mission of "keeping commerce human". They support small, independent creators and emphasize the social and community aspects of business, not just the transaction volume.
CEOs and Leaders
Rose Marcario (Former CEO of Patagonia): During her tenure, Marcario deepened the company's commitment to environmental activism, famously launching campaigns like "Don't Buy This Jacket" on Black Friday to promote conscious consumption, demonstrating that a focus on sustainability could drive profit and purpose simultaneously.
Zhang Ruimin (Former CEO of Haier): Ruimin's implementation of the Rendanheyi model is a prime example of a leader embracing a progressive organizational structure that allows the company to be both a massive global player and a collection of agile, innovative micro-enterprises.
Eckart Wintzen (Founder of BSO/Origin): He developed the "cells" model, a progressive organizational structure based on self-managing units that balanced entrepreneurial freedom with the need for coordinated growth, demonstrating a "yes/and" approach to structure and scale.
These examples illustrate that a "yes/and" approach is not just a trend but a viable, performance-enhancing strategy that attracts ethically minded consumers and talented employees.
FINANCIAL ARENA
• Credit Unions State or federal credit unions promote social equality by acting as people-first financial cooperatives, offering accessible, affordable services (like low-fee accounts, fair loans) to underserved groups, investing in community development, providing financial literacy, and tailoring products for diverse needs, counteracting the profit-driven focus of big banks that often neglect low-income or rural areas. They build trust by embedding in communities, hiring diverse staff, offering culturally competent services (e.g., bilingual support), and designing products for specific needs like microloans or second-chance banking.
• Several major financial management firms have robust corporate social responsibility programs that involve significant donations and community development initiatives. These firms often focus their philanthropic efforts on specific areas such as economic mobility, education, and affordable housing, demonstrating that financial success can be coupled with meaningful contributions to non-profits and local communities by leveraging their financial resources, expertise, and employee volunteerism to address significant social challenges.
Key examples of successful financial firms known for their community engagement include:
Bank of America: Guided by a purpose to "help make financial lives better," the Bank of America Charitable Foundation provides significant grant funding to nonprofits focused on economic mobility and social progress. Their initiatives support financially resilient families, small business growth, and affordable housing access. Employees are also encouraged to volunteer, with the company offering matching grants for their charitable contributions.
JPMorgan Chase & Co, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Natixis Investment Managers
• MORTGAGE Companies
Freedom Mortgage, which has programs that have outreach programs to help others get home ownership or rentalship.
Good Leap Mortage, which invests in solar, where you can donate your excess energy to low income families.
More Yin-style, yet outer-success-full business models emphasize collaboration, empathy, and relationship-building over the rigid hierarchy and top-down decision-making of a company like Apple.
These models prioritize community and the well-being of employees and stakeholders, leading to success through loyalty and adaptability rather than command-and-control dynamics.
Platform and Circular Models: Companies in the resale and rental space (like Depop, Rent the Runway, and ThredUP) have reached billion-dollar valuations by facilitating product movement among users, which prioritizes sustainability and resource efficiency over the "take, make, waste" model of traditional fashion.
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) and Community-Focused Brands: Brands like Glossier built a cult following by prioritizing customer engagement and community-building, making customers feel like designers and part of the process.
Subscription Commerce: Services like Stitch Fix use data to curate products based on individual preferences, building ongoing, personalized relationships with customers rather than simply pushing mass-produced inventory. This model builds loyalty and reduces customer churn.
Founder-Led, Empathetic Cultures: Spanx, founded by Sara Blakely, grew into a billion-dollar business without outside investors through a focus on creating a product that women needed and believed in, fostering an empathetic connection with her target demographic. In-N-Out Burger (led by Lynsi Snyder) is known for treating employees exceptionally well, resulting in happy employees and extremely loyal customers.
Globally recognized non profit brands:
• Doctors Without Borders (humanitarian aid)
• Engineers Without Borders (engineers without borders)
• Amnesty International (human rights + justice)
• Habitat for Humanity (builds homes for those in-need)
• The Nature Conservancy (environmental conservation)
• World Animal Protection (in farming, entertainment, disaster)
• Kiss The Ground (US soil-health, regenerative ag, policy)
NONPROFITS
Nonprofits inherently aim for social good, making them naturally suited for inclusive models by serving diverse communities and stakeholders (donors, volunteers, clients) and prioritizing mission over profit, which fosters innovation and broader impact, though how inclusive they are depends on implementation, with successful ones focusing on diverse leadership, equitable practices, and actively listening to the communities they serve for better decision-making and success. For example, while some argue for-profits can solve poverty better, inclusive nonprofit models often outperform peers in financial aspects and resilience by tapping diverse talent and markets, proving that inclusion drives mission success, not just ethics.

FINANCIAL ARENA
These institutions demonstrate that it is possible to achieve financial performance (profit) while prioritizing social well-being (people) and environmental health (planet). Their business models are designed to generate a "fair profit" but not solely to maximize it at the expense of other stakeholders, which is a key tenet of the triple bottom line approach.
Here are examples of banks and their progressive business models:
Triodos Bank: This Dutch bank has a specific social mission "to help create a society that protects and promotes the quality of life of all its members". It emphasizes transparency, allowing customers to see exactly where their money is invested. The bank focuses on financing projects and businesses with a positive social, environmental, and cultural impact, such as those in renewable energy, organic agriculture, and social housing.
Beneficial State Bank: This bank is a certified B Corp and a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) with a mission to help restore the planet. It focuses on lending to the environmental sustainability sector and publishes its loan portfolio to ensure transparency about the positive impact of its banking activities. In 2024, it proudly reported issuing over $8 million in lending to environmental sustainability and $0 to fossil fuel extraction.
Climate First Bank: Launched with a core focus on environmental sustainability, this Florida-based institution is committed to helping customers reach their financial goals while promoting ecological well-being. It offers specialty loan products for specific green initiatives, such as solar panel installations, energy-efficient home improvements, and electric vehicle charging stations.
ShoreBank (historically): Known as one of the first community development banks, ShoreBank was founded in Chicago in 1973 with a mission to serve underinvested communities and promote economic development in those areas. Its model centered on the idea that investing in local communities could be both financially viable and socially beneficial. The local bank thrived for 35 years, supporting nearly two dozen affiliates that did everything from invest in Afghanistan to make home loans in Detroit. Perhaps it would do well to relocate and reopen in a community or online where its progressive values have wider existing social support.
Ecology Building Society: Based in the UK, this building society exclusively offers mortgages for properties and projects that have positive environmental impacts, such as sustainable renovations or the purchase of eco-friendly homes. Their model is deeply tied to their mission of fostering sustainable housing and communities.
Worldview In Relationships
At a personal level, it’s about learning healthy boundaries:
In relationship dynamics, the narcissist's need for validation/control and the empath's sensitivity/desire to help) are filtered through the prevailing worldview’s "rules for living":
• That’s just the way it is/they are/i am = Belief without a direct understanding; or without a wider more detached perspective or more inclusive understanding
• Because I/they/we said so = Power without direct wisdom or contextual understanding; or without a wider more inclusive view
• Use of ‘Absolutes’ such as ‘always/never’, ‘truth/lies’, ‘acceptance/ignoring or removal’ = Dualistic extremes, self and collective identity vs the world
RED WORLDVIEW (Egocentric/Power)
The Red worldview is characterized by impulsive, self-centered behavior, a focus on power and dominance, and little concern for rules or others' feelings. The world is seen as a "jungle" where the strong survive.
Narcissist at Red: This is the archetypal "unhealthy" Red manifestation. The individual is overtly grandiose, seeking to dominate and control others through force or coercion. They act on immediate desires without guilt or remorse, viewing others as tools for personal gain or sources of admiration. This expression aligns perfectly with the core narcissistic traits of exploitation and lack of empathy, prioritizing "I" above all.
Empath at Red: The concept of an "empath" as conventionally understood (highly sensitive to others' emotions) is less congruent with the core Red drive, which suppresses sensitivity in favor of strength and self-preservation. If empathy exists, it's likely a suppressed potential. An individual with an underlying capacity for empathy might struggle in a Red environment or might use an understanding of others' weaknesses as a way to survive and gain power (a more Machiavellian form of "empathy" rather than a compassionate one). A truly sensitive person at this stage would likely be seen as weak and be easily exploited.
BLUE WORLDVIEW (Absolutist/Order)
The Blue worldview sees the world through order, rules, duty, and adherence to a moral code or higher authority to create stability out of Red's chaos. Conformity and discipline are highly valued.
Narcissist at Blue: The narcissist in a Blue worldview uses the system's rules and hierarchy to gain status and control. Instead of overt dominance, they may become a rigid enforcer of the "moral code," using the rules to judge and control others while positioning themselves as righteous and infallible. Their sense of entitlement is masked by a belief they are operating on behalf of a higher power or the "correct" system, using this as justification for their actions and a way to demand admiration for their "duty" and "discipline".
Empath at Blue: The empath at the Blue level channels their sensitivity into a strong sense of duty, service, and moral responsibility to their group or a higher power. They are highly concerned with fairness within the established rules and will work diligently to maintain the social order and care for their "in-group". Their empathy is constrained by the rigid Blue worldview, meaning they might struggle to feel compassion for those outside their group or who break the rules, as that would conflict with their strong belief in absolute laws and consequences.

What Does ORANGE Power + Identity Look Like When NOT In Balance?
In essence, The Gilded Age portrays a society where the inherent potential of the Orange meme (innovation, progress, individualism) has become toxic, leading to systemic instability, inequality, and a spiritual vacuum as individuals prioritize endless wealth and greed above all else.
Excessive Competition and Exploitation: The unhealthy Orange meme can manifest as a "dog-eat-dog" competitive mentality that encourages the accumulation of wealth at the cost of others. Examples include reports of poor employee conditions and high-pressure work environments, prioritizing company mission over employee well-being. This can also be seen in a disregard for established social contracts with employees, investors, and regulators.
Short-Term Gain Over Long-Term Ethics: The relentless pursuit of growth and market dominance, even if it creates structural risks for the broader financial system (as some argue about Tesla's overvalued stock) or compromises ethical standards, is a pathological Orange characteristic.
Ignoring Criticism and Doubling Down: Instead of engaging with critics or regulators, there is a tendency to dismiss them, call them "short-sellers" or other enemies, and double down on controversial behavior. This defensiveness is a sign of an inability to integrate feedback from other vMemes (such as the Green concern for ethics and community) which hinders further development to Yellow (systemic, integrative thinking).
The Ethos Of Unhealthy Ego
In Spiral Dynamics, the Orange meme (Achiever Self) represents a focus on success, rationality, progress, and individual autonomy. An unhealthy or pathological expression of this meme occurs when the pursuit of success and self-interest overrides ethical considerations, leading to hubris, exploitation, and a belief that normal rules do not apply.
Elon Musk and Tesla are sometimes cited as examples of unhealthy Orange due to the following characteristics:
Rule-Breaking and Hubris: Musk has exhibited a pattern of ignoring regulations and formal processes, such as the SEC investigation following his "funding secured" tweet or the NHTSA issuing a cease and desist letter regarding "deceptive" statements about safety ratings. This behavior reflects a sense of exceptionalism and a belief that one is "above the rules," which is a sign of executive hubris and toxic Orange.
Manipulative Practices for Status and Image: The Orange meme values image and status. Tesla, by deliberately leaning on its CEO as a walking billboard and prioritizing an image of innovation, created a significant brand risk when Musk's personal antics became polarizing. The manipulation of information (e.g., exaggerating self-driving capabilities or safety ratings) to maintain a high-growth narrative is a key sign of an unhealthy focus on market success over substance.
In essence, while the healthy Orange meme drives innovation, progress, and individual achievement, its unhealthy expression, as seen in some critiques of Musk and Tesla, uses these drives in an exploitative, unethical, and narcissistic manner to benefit the self at the expense of the system.

What Does GREEN Rules/Roles + Tradition Look Like When NOT In Balance?
SUBJECTIVE QUESTIONS: Is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) extreme in their views? Why or why not?
The potential for mis-alignment exists, even with the best of everyone’s intentions at heart. Here are some examples of where our values may need further growth into understanding the complexity of other viewpoints. The eventual goal would be to support each Worldview, or unique values-perspective, to be able to take the next step toward growth and alignment that is appropriate for it.
Patronization and Infantilization: When protection efforts lead to treating individuals as helpless or less capable (infantilization), it strips them of their agency and dignity. Instead of empowerment, this fosters dependence and can be deeply resented by those the actions are intended to help [1].
Dismissal of Individual Experiences (Projection): Projecting one's own feelings or assumptions onto a group often means ignoring the actual, diverse experiences and needs of the individuals within that group. This can lead to misdirected aid that is ineffective or even harmful, as it fails to address the root problems [1].
Reinforcing Negative Stereotypes: Well-meaning protection can sometimes inadvertently reinforce the very stereotypes it aims to combat. For example, focusing excessively on a group's vulnerability can lead others to view them solely through the lens of victimhood, hindering opportunities for true inclusion and respect [1].
Creating "Otherness": Highlighting a group's "underserved" status can inadvertently emphasize their separation from the mainstream, making them feel more isolated rather than integrated. This can create an us-vs-them dynamic that undermines social cohesion [1].
Undermining Autonomy and Self-Advocacy: Overprotection can prevent individuals from developing their own self-advocacy skills or exercising their autonomy. By constantly intervening, well-meaning helpers may hinder the long-term empowerment of the group [1].
Fostering Resentment: When people feel their autonomy is being limited or their lived experiences are being ignored due to projected feelings or protective measures, it can breed resentment toward both the helpers and society at large [1].
Ignoring Systemic Solutions: Focusing solely on individual protection or projected feelings can distract from the need for broader, systemic changes. Superficial aid can become a substitute for addressing the root causes of inequality or disadvantage [1].
In essence, positive outcomes are more likely when actions are rooted in listening, respect for individual agency, and collaborative empowerment, rather than assumptions or overprotective behaviors

Our intention may be pure and practiced, but the very embodiment of this may still need attunement. For lightworkers especially, this stage can be helped, as you listen, uncover, and/or let go of what no longer serves. For example, we learn through experience and self observation that vibration and emotion is the amplification signal or carrier wave on which our thoughts are broadcast and upon which the law of manifestation works. You can learn techniques to shift out of your habitual patterns, or to change your environmental frequency, and to set new positive patterns in motion.

Third Cycle | WEEKS 5 - 6
This cycle introduces you FIRST to the balancing and enlightening energy of the Shamanic Illumination session, the wisdom and practice of which is rooted in the ancient lineage of the Andes. This is a deeply intuitive and higher-self guided practice that offers a chance for purification and the ability to more fully embody your light to share what you came here to share.
SECOND you will be invited to FIND YOUR AUTHENTIC VOICE, which is how your SOUL SPEAKS IN YOUR WORLD. Discover how the balance of each of your previous cycles culminates in your unique integration of experiential empowerment. Whether you find greater peace in speaking your truth in daily life, to beginning to share your wisdom, or honing your current leadership skills, your AUTHENTIC VOICE will resonate deeply throughout your core, leaving you feeling enlightened and strengthened to shine your light to the world from who you truly are, not from who you’ve been imprinted to be by others.

Next Level 2 : The Expansion
Living The Sacred Life
4-6 Cycle | WEEKS 7 - 12
This additional series levels up your AWARENESS + EXPRESSION as you learn real life strategies and inner resolve that can help anchor your true center and strengthen your authentic reach in the world.
With each rhythmic CYCLE, our goal is to become lighter, and simultaneously more grounded and embodied through our daily love in the world.
We learn how to be comfortable in the discomfort, to hold paradox, and to ‘fly wingtip to wingtip with Spirit’ by taking a balanced perspective whenever possible, and holding a more expanded view of all relationships, projects, events and circumstances.
Without willing it, our presence can naturally effect a greater beneficial manifestation for all, through our practice of surrendering and aligning: using thought, feeling, and action. This practice creates and sustains COHERENCE in our vibration for the universe to respond to.
We will have the opportunity to use these cycles to focus on a specific area of our life, from relationship to career, money, self-love. To practice being able to take a different perspective, can make a transformative breakthrough difference in our daily life.
Results may vary. The tools and guidance offered in this course is intended as opportunities for self growth and not as a guarantee.
2 Empowering Payment Options
FOR THOSE WITH WHOM THIS RESONATES with joy
We invite you to remember one very special way to pay our respects for learning and being guided through a new process is through offering something of value to make room for the new growth we will attract. Therefore, it is empowering to think of something that brings you great joy when you deal with finances or an exchange of money or items in any way— whether that means paying for a service or even a bill, investing, or offering philanthropy to others. The vibration of joy is the ‘carrier wave’ on which you will receive what you offer. Therefore it is of utmost importance that you practice giving and receiving with a vibration of gratitude, joy, and compassion whenever possible. And “it is always possible,” as the Dalai Lama likes to say about being kind to ourselves and others.

THAT BUILDS INNER EMPOWERMENT + MOMENTUM FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
Receive powerful remote energy healing through the crystal grid.
Relax in your own sacred space at a pre arranged time.
Pure raw crystals (geo-electro-magnetism) are intuitively arranged to work specifically with your energy field (bio-electro-magnetism) during the session.
Enjoy this sacred session time as:
• 1 Hour Crystal Resonance Session
• 3 Pack - Three 1 Hr Crystal Resonance Sessions
“My remote sessions went really deep. I felt old energies in my body being cleansed and my sense of embodiment clarified. I feel the crystals as their own unique beings, and realize they are truly communicating and serving through this work. There’s something very real that supports me deeply throughout each session. I’m very grateful that this work got me through a big transitional time in my life.”
Crystal Resonance Healing
crystal layout session
Your peace of mind, health, and happiness can be perceived as a reflection of your energetic state of alignment. Receive a crystal embodiment layout, either remotely or in person. Experience how the frequencies of the crystals naturally attune to your needs through the quantum field during lightwork transmission. All sessions are held in sacred unconditional love guided and protected by your own higher self and source light. You are invited to set your own positive intentions for each session.
Crystals are minerals that hold and transmit frequencies that are experienced as healing to the human bio-field. They activate and assist your mind, emotions, and body to come into your own natural state of alignment, which we call being healthy. This works both in person and remotely.
Crystal Healing can help you find your inner state of heart & mind coherence. This is where we experience our highest frequencies such as peace, gratitude, strength, and courage when facing life’s decisions, changes, or challenges. It is a powerful tool to assist you as you find and create balance within yourself, your relationships, and in your life. It is helpful to clear blocks and call in fresh energy and momentum for what will serve you best. You will be guided to tune inward and allow for your body’s natural self-healing abilities to activate through the powerful science of subtle energetic alignment.
By recognizing ways to allow this natural alignment to occur in the present moment, our bodies know how use this energy alignment intuitively which we often experience or name as healing or daily miracles. Crystals hold pure clear frequencies, making them powerful tools for resonance.
In this session, Rebecca will set up a crystal grid by intuitively choosing and placing crystals on and around you for maximum benefit. For remote sessions, you will receive a transmission at your pre-arranged time from the comfort of your own home. For those who wish to dive deeper into the healing qualities of crystals, for $15 a PDF of your unique session is emailed showing what crystals were intuitively chosen and how they were placed to create the energetic space for your session, along with a list of crystal meanings + intuitive notes.

Growing up, we learned it is normal to try on different people’s viewpoints to expand our view on the world. However, in the end, the most successful life, and the actual truth for each of us as a sovereign individual lies inside. Our personal truth is directly supported by the decisions we make in our career path, creativity, and who we choose to relate with. We discover the path of least resistance and most empowerment through our Strategy and Authority.
This reading is here to support you in discovering a lifestyle of unprecedented synchronicity and deep understanding of a universal nature that is ‘built right into your hardware’.

As you become more and more aware of your uniquely natural Human Design, an as you observe and experience with greater awareness that which you already intrinsically perceive, you will notice greater flow, synchronicities, and general well being. When we notice we are struggling with familiar routines, or cyclic patterns, unhealthy sacrifices, role identities or masks, attachments, judgments, or daily grinds, it is an opportunity to choose a more aligned path. Human Design is your own tool, your own embodiment, and your sessions help you learn to life your life from a more empowered place in all ways. It’s not too late, you’re not too ‘fill in the blank’, this isn’t for others but not for you. You can discover that you begin to live in a way that’s right for your uniqueness, and to make choices that free you from habits or situations that haven’t been working, personally or professionally. If your soul is ready to engage in a more powerful, happy, and fulfilling life, this is your ‘calling’, your invitation to be the best version of yourself you can possibly imagine. It’s real. The time is now.

“I felt a lot of movement and my eyes teared up as a natural release. There was a strong sensation of heat through various areas of my body, including where I’d been having discomfort. It was very powerful. I could feel strength flowing through me. I felt lighter as if my energy was cleaning and integrating. I’ve been a bodyworker for over 20 years and I have to say this is very profound. ”
Shamanic Chakra Illumination
energy clearing + RAISING FREQUENCY
An Illumination is a clearing and rebalancing of your light body pathways. It accesses your highest blueprint and pure Source energy, allowing you to be more present and alive to co-create your path with Spirit. Use it as a powerful tool to assist as you stay true to yourself, in alignment with your highest good, and on purpose with your goals and ways of living and being of service. Receive the benefit and healing of this powerful cleansing and uplifting modality and notice positive shifts, upgrades, and well being.
Rooted in the wisdom of the sages, this energy work comes to us through a lineage of High Shamans of the Andes in Peru. Based on a deeply spiritual nature-centered worldview, and brought to life by tried and true teachings and trainings, this ancient and timeless method was requested by the High Shamans to be brought to the west now by Dr. Alberto Villoldo of The Four Winds, who has studied with them for decades in Central and South America. Through Rebecca’s intensive training with Dr. Villoldo, The Four Winds, our collective lineage Aiyu, as well as authentic Shamans from different lineages, this wisdom and healing is now available to you, bringing with it a deep respect of the Earth, Divine Feminine, and a truly Holistic way of living.
An Illumination session is like a ‘cleaning house’ and ‘activation’, meaning it invites in new breath and flow, a freshness and potency at the energetic level. It helps us be more present in our embodiment to experience life more fully and less reactively or habitually. Like most everything in life, our energy body benefits from help with letting go of the old and being refreshed with the new. Sometimes, being so close to our patterns means that we can get stuck or blind to our habits. When this happens, it becomes more helpful to allow others to assist us in realigning with our natural process. To come into higher alignment, or right relationship with our life path and the world around us, we must learn to consciously align our inner resonance, or the bioenergetic flow of our energy pathways.
With an Illumination Session we can quickly purify and clear unwanted energies, patterns, blocks, or cycles, open more easily to our natural ‘flow state’, boost our holistic health through the support of rebalancing our chakras and their positive affect on our digestive, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and embody higher source frequencies which help us manifest our best state of wellness and possibilities. An Illumination assists by helping you shift affinities or aversions at the core chakra level, thus aiding your energy to come into balance on its own and shift away from repetitious cycles that may otherwise unknowingly repeat what you don’t want. You may feel it as an energizing breath of life force, or notice profound shifts in thoughts, feelings, and daily life, all supported by this deep inner cleanse allowing your own inner illumination to shine more freely. Are you ready to let go of the old and open to the new? Open the ‘windows’ of your soul and Illuminate your life. View an Illumination Session testimonial.

In truth, any healer serves as a guide, a catalyst for awakening the latent potential within individuals to heal themselves. Their role extends beyond the traditional polarity of mere giver and receiver, needy and savior, helpless and hero, wound and remedy. It delves into the realm of oneness, where a multifaceted shared consciousness ignites each individual’s unique inner journey toward self awareness and empowerment. We are all unique, we are all one.
