Constriction, Power & the One Thing That Unlocks It All
“If your power is coming from control, it’s not power. It’s performance.”
And performance always costs you presence. The most magnetic people I know aren’t the most polished—they’re the most energetically honest. You can’t fake this. And you can’t force it.
What if the thing blocking your power isn’t fear… it’s constriction? Not the kind you can see. The kind that operates underneath it all—the energy of bracing, of guarding, of holding back.
This week’s Facet of Frequency is Gate 25: Acceptance—but not the passive kind. This is active acceptance, the kind that melts constriction and makes you magnetic without trying.
And if you’ve been feeling tight, resistant, or strangely numb… you’re not alone. There’s a deeper energetic layer beneath it.
Let’s go there.
What Constriction Really Is (And Why It Kills Power)
Constriction doesn’t always look like panic. It often wears the face of composure. Of strength. Of control.
But energetically? Constriction is when you tighten your frequency to avoid vulnerability. It’s the body-level response of bracing for a blow—even if no blow is coming.
Constriction is the shell we wear when we can’t guarantee safety. It says: “I’ll stay open—but only if you behave a certain way.”
It limits power because power requires presence. And presence can’t exist when you’re armoured.
In the shadow frequency of Gate 25, that armouring takes two forms:
The repressive nature is ignorance: disconnecting from your own pain, pretending you’re fine.
The reactive nature is coldness: protecting yourself by keeping others emotionally out.
Both are survival patterns. And both keep you from your real essence.

The Energy You Crave Can’t Be Forced
We’ve been taught that power comes from pushing. But the deeper frequency of power—the kind that moves worlds—doesn’t perform. It doesn’t defend. It doesn’t try to be impressive.
It rests in the body like an ancient truth.
And the only way to access that power is to accept what’s here, now. That’s not a mindset shift. It’s a frequency shift.
It’s the moment you stop rejecting your experience. It’s when you let the part of you that was bracing… soften.
Most people won’t do this. They’ll stay in the illusion that control = safety. But you’re not most people.
That’s why you’re here.
The Shift Into Universal Love (Without Bypassing Reality)
You don’t need to try to love everyone. You don’t need to be perfect, spiritual, or unbothered. You only need to stop closing.
Universal Love—the Gift and Siddhi of this Gate—doesn’t mean fluffy kindness. It means being so fully yourself that love flows through you. Without restriction. Without a script.
This is the kind of love that:
Holds fierce boundaries without disconnecting
Offers compassion without self-abandonment
Sees clearly without collapsing into judgment
You don’t have to earn this frequency. You remember it.
And that’s what this week is about.

Contemplation: Are You Still Holding On?
We’ve been in this Facet of Frequency for a couple of days now. So…
How have you noticed constriction or anxiety arise?
Can you see how acceptance would move you out of this?
Are you willing to practice that now—and for the next few days—and observe what changes?
Let me know in the comments or reply if you’re up for shifting your frequency out of constriction and want to share how this is showing up.
And if you're not sure where to begin, here's where we explore:
“What would change if I let go of the shell around my heart—just 10% more?”
This is part of the deeper practice inside The Inner Sanctum, where we unearth the gold through direct contemplation, frequency transmissions, and activations.
Here are a few gentle reflection questions to take with you:
Where have you been waiting for permission to soften?
Is there someone whose response you’ve been trying to manage?
What does it feel like in your body when you fully accept the moment, without needing to change it?
Where are you confusing protection with power?
You don’t have to answer them all. Just start with what resonates.
Real Example: Isla’s Shift
Isla came to me feeling like she had “done all the work,” but couldn’t shake a deep sense of disconnection. She was open—but guarded. Kind—but cold. Brilliant—but exhausted.
When we traced her energy signature, Gate 25 was right at the centre of her chart. She was running the frequency of Constriction, hidden beneath performance and caretaking.
Her repressive pattern was ignorance—not in the intellectual sense, but in how she ignored her own body’s cues. Her reactive pattern was coldness—she gave to others but never let anyone give to her.
Through deep contemplation and frequency work, she started letting in small moments of acceptance. Instead of fixing herself, she allowed herself to be witnessed. And everything began to open.
She now leads with quiet magnetism. No longer proving. No longer managing others’ responses. Just being, and letting love move through her system—subtly, unmistakably.
Mr. Rogers & the Vessel of Love
Did you know Fred Rogers (yes, Mr. Rogers) was born on March 20th? That places his Life’s Work in Gate 25—the path of Acceptance and Universal Love.
He didn’t preach love. He embodied it. He modelled radical compassion, emotional presence, and authentic care in every broadcast.
His Incarnation Cross—the overarching theme of his life—was The Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love.
“At the very centre of all your energies is love. You have the love of the body, the love of humanity, the love of behaviour and universal love. You are here to be universally loving to all things. You may be met with shock at some point in your life, and your challenge is to overcome it.”

The Poem
I wrote a poem to capture how I have felt over the past 10 days of being on Substack, to share my feelings of journey so far.
