The Growth-Quake: When the Bell Curve Cracks Beneath You (Video Blog)

Missing from the Middle — When the bell curve no longer fits, your growth-quake begins. Foreign. Freeing. Painful. Beautiful.

here comes a moment—subtle at first—when you begin to notice that the so-called "normal distribution" of human behavior doesn't quite apply to you. It's not that you're better or worse; it's that something just doesn’t click. You try to laugh at the jokes, to get into the game, to care deeply about the next promotion, but something feels off. You find yourself standing just a few paces outside the bell curve, watching the middle hum along while you're stuck asking, Why doesn’t this feel like home?

This is where the tremors begin.

What is a Growth Quake?

At first, it looks like a simple gap in skills. Maybe someone suggests a book—How to Win Friends and Influence People, Eat That Frog, or some TED Talk about grit or growth mindset. These resources are helpful—like duct tape for the soul. They teach you how to operate within the system: how to communicate better, hustle harder, play the game. And for a while, that works. You get the handshake right. You start that planner. You play along.

But then… something deeper stirs.

You realize the game itself doesn't quite make sense to you. Sports, small talk, celebrity gossip, even organized religion—things that once served as cultural glue—start to feel distant, or even hollow. You start swapping out hobbies. You lose a few friends. You might leave a job, change your wardrobe, adopt new language—these are the small quakes, the tectonic shifts before the eruption.

Then comes the big one: the Growth-Quake.

This isn’t just a lifestyle pivot. This is an existential rupture. One morning, or perhaps in the middle of the night, you wake up and realize that the life you were building doesn’t fit anymore—not just the house, the job, or the habits, but the you inside all of it. And you can’t unsee it.

This is the day the tree roots upend the sidewalk.

This is when the lava finally breaks the crust and swallows the old scenery whole.

And the shockwave isn’t just mental or emotional—it’s physical.

Because here's the truth most people don’t talk about: your body was built by your old patterns. The muscles you’ve developed, the posture you carry, the chemical cocktail of your stress responses—these are all reflections of how you've survived, how you've performed, and how you've coped. Your body has been shaped to walk the well-worn paths of your former self.

But when those paths vanish overnight, your body can feel… foreign.

You ache in places that never hurt before. You may suddenly feel lighter, taller, or more energized—and then, the next moment, utterly exhausted. You begin trading in cortisol for something unfamiliar: clarity, maybe. Peace. Even joy. But make no mistake—this is stress too. Just a different flavor of it.

The old tension held in your shoulders? It doesn’t know where to go yet. The armor in your belly? It hasn’t learned to soften. The shame behind your eyes? It’s looking for an exit.

This is where bodywork, somatics, energetics, coaching, and massage step in.

Not to fix you—but to help hold you while the new shape of your being is still forming. These tools keep the ship afloat while the debris of the old life settles around you. They don’t rush your evolution—they support it. They speak the language of the body so you can integrate the quake, not just survive it.

This is also where Soul Journey comes in.

We equip you with the vocabulary—both spiritual and practical—to name what’s happening in you. To give yourself permission to change, and to navigate your new form with grace. To explain (or not explain) what’s shifting to those around you.

You’re not going crazy. You’re not broken. You’re evolving.

A Growth-Quake might shake your world—but it can also set you free.

A Sacred Invitation

The Q'ero shamans speak of living in "Ayni"—sacred reciprocity, a state of balance with the universe. When we take time to realign our energy, we honor this principle, opening ourselves to receive the natural flow of divine support and guidance.

A Shamanic Energy Attunement is an invitation to return to this harmony. It is a sacred pause, a chance to reset, and a powerful way to reconnect with the essence of who you are. Whether you seek clarity, healing, or simply a deeper sense of presence, this experience offers a pathway to renewal.

Are you ready to realign with your highest self?
