From Performing for Love to Creating As Love 💖

I recorded a new message while skiing for the first time this winter in Colorado, finally surrounded by fresh snow again. With Sun Mountain (Pikes Peak) rising quietly behind me, I was reminded of something that continues to return in my work, in my body, and in lived experience: harmony is not optional. When systems fall out of balance, they stop thriving. Eventually, they stop working altogether.

This was true when I began my career in environmental restoration, long before my metaphysical awakening.

And it remains true now as we look honestly at the human condition and the state of human consciousness. When something becomes imbalanced whether in an ecosystem, a nervous system, or a planetary field it cannot sustain life as it was intended.

Over the past year, especially since my hospital stay in Italy, balance has stopped being something I speak about and has become something I am living.

More rest.

More space.

More time doing no thing.

What has revealed itself again and again is this: loving presence allows more of the Source Love we already are to move through the human form. Not symbolically. Somatically. Energetically. Visibly.

And this is why the work has returned so clearly to the body.

At the heart of so much shadow work is a distortion so normalized that it often goes unquestioned: The belief that we must perform in order to be loved.

In modern culture, this distortion rarely looks like overt unworthiness. More often, it disguises itself as ambition, service, devotion, or success.

We chase achievement so we can feel safe.

We seek visibility so we can feel seen.

We build lives according to custom so can feel worthy of belonging.

And every sub culture has its own version of this performance.

In entrepreneurial spaces, it looks like revenue, growth, scale, and recognition.

In academic or professional spaces, it looks like credentials, authority, and respect.

In spiritual spaces, it looks like enlightenment, purity, or being high frequency.

In family systems, it looks like over functioning, emotional caretaking, and being the good mother, good son, or the one who holds everything together.

None of these values are inherently wrong. The distortion is not what we pursue. It is why we pursue it.

This is wounded motivation and it lies mostly in the blind spot of our awareness.

Imagine a nervous system operating from the belief:

"If I am successful, I will be safe."

"If I am visible, I will be valued."

"If I stop holding it together, everything will fall apart."

"If I disappoint them, I will lose love."

Even when success is achieved, the body remains braced. The goalposts move. The rest never lands.

Now imagine approaching the same roles and goals from a different orientation:

"I am already held."

"I am already Love."

"My worth is not negotiated through performance."

The outer actions may look identical. The inner experience is not.

This is the difference between chasing validation and creating from Love.

This distortion often sounds like:

"I will rest once I have proven myself."

"I will feel safe once I reach the next level."

"I will slow down after I am seen as successful."

"I cannot let them down."

So we push. We polish. We perform.

Not because we are shallow or ego driven, but because some part of the body learned early that love and safety were conditional.

The invitation is not to abandon your aspirations, responsibilities, or roles. It is to examine the energetic root they are growing from.

The body remembers every moment it learned that approval equaled survival. It carries ancestral stories of scarcity, exile, striving, and duty. When we try to override this with mindset or manifestation alone, the body will eventually resist.

Regulation is the bridge.

The soul’s role is not to leave the body behind.

It is to reassure it.

When the body feels safe, ambition softens.

When ambition softens, clarity emerges.

When clarity emerges, creation becomes coherent.

Here is where the deeper shift happens. When success or belonging is pursued to earn love, the structures we build will always require maintenance through effort, comparison, and self surveillance.

But when success flows from the lived truth of being Love, the constructs change.

Work becomes an expression rather than a performance.

Visibility becomes sharing rather than seeking.

Responsibility becomes choice rather than obligation.

We begin building lives, businesses, families, and communities that support life rather than consume it.

A Gentle Practice: Before your next push toward a goal or your next automatic yes, pause and ask: Am I moving from fear or from the truth that I am Love?

Then listen not for the correct answer, but for the bodily response. Tightening. Softening. Breath.

This is how harmony begins to return.

This work unfolds in relationship. I invite you to share with me:

Where do you notice yourself performing for love through success, visibility, or family roles?How has your sub culture shaped what success or goodness was supposed to look like?

What shifts when you imagine creating and relating from the truth that you are Love?

In the next article, I will explore some of the fascinating work emerging around multidimensional templates and the greater self’s ability to recall and recode the body’s original functioning.

This includes very specific biological domains from mitochondrial efficiency to amygdala regulation and nervous system coherence. I will be sharing recent client session stories that have been genuinely mind blowing in terms of what our multidimensional capacities are capable of when it comes to restoring balance, harmony, and resilience in the human form.
