The #1 Distortion I'm Seeing in 75% of My Clients Right Now

Ever since the Fall Equinox last month, I keep seeing the same distortion show up in nearly every client session.

I’m now even checking for, and finding, these in my own system.

This morning, I did a session for my cat Nova, and sure enough, he had two of this distortion type running in his system too.

While I have a set list of 106 factors I check for in every meta-heal session, this is one of those that never really showed up much in the past.

Yet, now it’s showing up nearly every session. Likely, because this is what we’re now collectively facing and clearing creation-wide.

Dissonance Is the New Black

It almost feels like a fashion statement, or a trendy fad. I’m literally seeing it everywhere.

You’ve likely heard of ‘cognitive dissonance,’ when your mind struggles to hold two opposing truths or experiences simultaneously.

Well, the distortion I’m seeing come up again and again is structural dissonance — what we call a paradox.

A paradox in the body-field represents two conflicting instructions running at once inside your energetic and biological system.

Your system attempts to run both, and then freezes, because it literally tries to go in two opposing directions at once.

That’s why paradox, or structural dissonance, can show up as:

  • Exhaustion that rest can’t fix

  • Confusion that logic can’t clear

  • That Catch 22 or double-bind you can’t get out of

  • That “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” feeling

How Paradox Drains Your Power

When paradox is active, your system wages an invisible war with itself.

Unfortunately, paradox often isn’t loud. Until it’s called out, the two conflicting instruction sets don’t seem at odds with each other.

I sometimes see it hidden in a client’s heal intention wish list. You see it in phrases like:

  • I want an abundant life so I can travel the world // Give me protection so I feel safe when I leave my house.

  • I want a deliciously passionate partner who’s resourced, emotionally available, and does their work // I want to stop blocking myself, I can tell I’m afraid to be visible, to really be out there, and I feel like if people really get to know me they won’t like me.

These are not rare. I see something like this in nearly every client intention list, lately.

As I track and release more and more of these for me and my clients, I’m seeing how much life force and energy gets freed up.

And, conversely, how much energy maintaining these paradoxes requires.

For example, think about your DNA.

It’s literally just instruction sets that tell your cells what to do and how to function.

Imagine if you had one set of DNA instructing a group of cells that they are kidney cells of a human being


And then you had another set of DNA in that same group of cells instructing them that they are brain cells of a salamander.

The cells would be confused right? If they follow one instruction, they violate the other. And so they do nothing.

Or they exhaust themselves running conflicting programs and getting nowhere.

Here’s what happens when paradox stays active for too long:

  • Your system freezes. You can’t move clearly in any direction. Every choice feels loaded.

  • You burn energy just maintaining the split. Fatigue, anxiety, and confusion follow, because your system is stuck running two operating systems at once.

  • You stop trusting your own signal. Your nervous system starts sending static. You second-guess intuition, instincts, even joy.

  • You mute your own expansion. Your system doesn’t know which way to go. So spiritual practice stops working. Manifestations stall. You feel “off,” but can’t name why.

  • The paradox boots breakthroughs. Even when you receive deep healing, the paradox rejects it. Or it loops in your field and can’t land, because your body can’t apply its instruction set without the paradox activating and canceling everything out.

The paradox doesn’t just block your path; it divides your power supply.

Every ounce of clarity leaks into managing the internal war instead of creating life.

This is why so many brilliant, wise and experienced people will reach that baffling moment where what used to work
 suddenly doesn’t anymore.

I call it “evolutionary pressure.”

When our new instruction set we’re attempting to land gets strong enough, it can trigger a paradox against the existing instruction set that was limiting us.

And suddenly our system freezes. Our life hits the brakes. And we’re left befuddled and whiplashed, wondering WTAF. đŸ€Ż

It’s not resistance. It’s not self-sabotage.
It’s not mindset or even burnout.

It’s the body trying to obey two masters at once.

And it’s exhausting.


How Many Paradoxes Do You Have Right Now?

What I’m seeing is that most people are carrying three to seven active paradoxes at once. This is limited to my own experience with my own clients, self and loved ones.

But with all the dissonance and polarization happening on the global stage, I am fairly confident we are facing paradox as a collective.

Paradoxes sound like this:

  • “I want love.” // “Love will hurt me.”

  • “I want to be visible.” // “Visibility is dangerous.”

  • “I want ease.” // “Ease means I’m not doing enough.”

  • “I want to heal.” // “I’m emotionally invested in my story, it’s my identity now.”

Each one burns energy to sustain two truths that can’t coexist.

They’re rarely conscious. Most are inherited, absorbed through trauma, lineage, or limitation.

And while they sound familiar or obvious when we name them like I did above
 you don’t experience them that way in your body and life.

So how to identify a paradox?


Signs a Paradox Is Running in Your System

  • Confusion about what you want.

  • Chronic fatigue or restless energy that won’t settle.

  • Inconsistent results — things go okay for a time and suddenly all the same stuff doesn’t work anymore.

  • A deep desire you keep spinning on, yet somehow things don’t proceed or evolve.

  • Anxiety spins or thought spirals that won’t quit or resolve.

  • Endless overthinking or “processing” loops.

  • Burnout that persists, no matter how much healing or rest you engage.

  • The sense that no modality truly lands, even if it used to.

  • Feeling “split” inside — even when everything looks calm on the surface.

If you’ve used all your tools, done all the work, invited the energy to move
 and things still feel stuck, it’s probably not resistance. It’s paradox.

The Benefits of Resolving Paradox & Structural Dissonance

When paradox dissolves, it’s like you’ve had your foot on the gas this whole time
 and suddenly someone shifted your car into drive.

Here are some of the things I’ve heard clients say after we cleared a few paradoxes for them:

  • “Everything feels calmer. I feel at peace in a way I couldn’t before.”

  • “I feel resolved. Like I don’t know what to do, but my system isn’t looping on the unknown. I feel like I trust what’s to come
 and I haven’t felt like that in forever.”

  • “I didn’t realize I was holding so much tension! Things feel so much lighter already.”

  • “Wow it’s like I suddenly got out of my own way. I don’t know why it felt so hard before. But now I’m writing every day and I feel motivation and enthusiasm instead of doom and gloom!”

This is what I’m finding in my own experience as well. When I started this Substack a little over a month ago, I was deep in burnout and writing from that place.

I wanted me and everyone I knew to be able to escape survival mode and struggle.

And, fascinatingly, when I discovered and released several paradoxes in my own system, it’s like the heaviness just evaporated.

I had more energy. I felt more hopeful and confident about what I’m choosing to build and create for my life.

Things that felt like impossible Catch-22s literally resolved themselves immediately, and I was shocked to find that nothing actually felt impossible.

Suddenly more easy answers arrived, and I quickly found a system to organize me. My productivity has skyrocketed I swear 100-fold.

And not because I’m working more hours. I’m working less.

Finally, after spinning my wheels for months, everything I do is returning more results
 where beforehand it felt that no matter what I did, nothing budged.

The only difference: I don’t have 5 or so paradoxes eating up all my energy and spinning me into an anxiety spiral every seven minutes.
