Key Takeaways
1. The Four Energy Types: Understanding Your Core Nature
Everything on this planet is created from the same four basic elements. These elements form the compounds and influence the dynamics of other elements, forming the building blocks of everything and everyone.
Four fundamental energies. The Energy Profiling system is based on the idea that all people express one of four dominant energy types, corresponding to the four elements of nature: nitrogen/air (Type 1), oxygen/water (Type 2), hydrogen/fire (Type 3), and carbon/earth (Type 4). These energies manifest in our personalities, physical features, and how we move through life.
Natural movement patterns. Each energy type has a distinct movement:
- Type 1: Upward and light
- Type 2: Flowing and connected
- Type 3: Active and reactive
- Type 4: Constant and still
Understanding your dominant energy type can lead to greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and a more authentic way of living.
2. Type 1 Energy: The Fun-Loving Innovator
TYPE 1SM Energy initiates the cycle of wholeness by coming up with new ideas and the inspiration and hope of making them come true.

6. Recognizing and Honoring Your True Nature
When any of us attempt to operate outside of our own natural movement, our lives go out of balance and things start to go wrong.
Self-acceptance is key. Recognizing and embracing your dominant energy type is crucial for personal growth and fulfillment. Many people struggle initially to accept their type, often because they've been conditioned to value traits different from their natural tendencies.
Balancing energies. While everyone has a dominant energy type, we all possess aspects of all four types. Learning to balance and integrate these energies can lead to personal growth and more harmonious relationships.
Living authentically. By aligning your life choices with your natural energy, you can reduce stress, increase productivity, and experience greater joy and satisfaction in all areas of life.
7. Energy Profiling in Relationships and Parenting
Knowing our Energy Type and how it compares to your family members' Energy Types, you are likely to be more understanding, patient, and forgiving.
Improved understanding. Energy Profiling can dramatically improve relationships by fostering understanding and appreciation for different ways of thinking and behaving.
Parenting insights. Understanding a child's energy type from an early age can help parents:
- Tailor communication styles
- Choose appropriate discipline methods
- Support the child's natural strengths
- Create a nurturing environment that honors the child's true nature
In romantic relationships, knowing your partner's energy type can help navigate differences, appreciate complementary strengths, and create a more harmonious partnership.
8. Applying Energy Types to Career and Business
Success naturally comes to those people who live in harmony with their true nature.
Career alignment. Choosing a career that aligns with your energy type can lead to greater job satisfaction and success. For example:
- Type 1: Creative fields, sales, entertainment

Business applications. Understanding Energy Types can improve:

Entrepreneurs can use Energy Profiling to create businesses that reflect their natural strengths and attract like-minded customers and employees.
9. Dressing Your Truth: Aligning Fashion with Energy

Visual harmony. Dressing in alignment with your energy type can enhance your natural presence and make you feel more comfortable and confident.
Style guidelines for each type:
