By Carol Tuttle, MRET.

Sally came to me frustrated over her daughter’s random, forgetful habits. She told me, “she is driving me nuts! I can’t get through to her!” Sally’s natural tendencies are to be very structured and focused. She had experienced conflict for years trying to get her daughter, age 14, to adapt to her natural way of life.

Energy Profiling is a simple system that categorizes people in to one of 4 groups that says volumes with a simple reference system of referring to Types. In my system of Energy Profiling, Sally is a dominant Type 4 expression and her daughter is a dominant Type 1 expression. They are the opposite movement of each other causing them not understanding each other. Carol’s system has 4 Types, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4.

The 4 Types come from the 4 elements that we are each created from, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Carol has discovered that each of these elements express a unique and candid movement that expresses in all of nature and all of human nature. We have all 4 elements in us, so we naturally have all 4 expressions in us, yet we all lead with a dominant expression of one of the 4 elements that is represented by each Type.

Once you have learned the system and the volumes of information that explains each Type, knowing your child’s dominant Type will give you great insight on how to parent your child in a proactive manner that brings great balance and ease to your relationship.

The beauty of Energy Profiling is it does not just look at a person’s personality, it also includes behavior tendencies, thought and feeling processes, body language, and physical features. It is a simple system taught in a concise way the is easy to learn and apply. So for the first time you will be able to have a greater insight to your child’s nature just by reading their facial features.

Here is a quick overview of each Type:

Type 1: A person with a dominant Type 1 expression is naturally an upward, light, upbeat person. This Type of person has a high movement and keeps things light and fun. They have a natural gift for ideas and the hope that it is possible. They also can get so many things going, they can drop the ball and not follow through as readily as other Types. Being with this person brings out your playful energy and brightens your mood. They may also have a tendency to appear random or scattered at times due to their very free from energy. People with dominant Type 1 energy have a buoyant, animated movement. They tend to have a very youthful appearance due to the animated shapes like circles and points in their facial features. Rachel Ray, Goldie Hawn, Jim Carrey, and Will Smith are all dominant Type 1 people with very Type 1 facial features.

Type 2: A person with a dominant Type 2 expression is naturally a fluid, flowing, gentle, relaxed, calming person. This Type of person has a more subdued movement and keeps things flowing and comfortable. They have a natural gift for details and making plans to help us move forward. Being with the Type of person is calming and reassuring. They may also have a tendency to worry and fret due to their more methodical nature. They tend to have very blended facial features with soft skin and low contrast in their skin and hair color. They have a dominance of S curves in their facial features. Barbara Streisand, Angelina Jolie, Randy Jackson, and Richard Gere are all dominant Type 2 people with very Type 2 facial features.

Type 3: A person with a dominant Type 3 expression is naturally given to action and results. This Type of person has a very swift, confident movement that pushes things and people into action to get it done. They have a natural gift of confidence and an orientation to get big results. They can be overly confident at times without enough details in place and jump in too fast. Being with this Type of person helps us all get more done! Type 3’s love to get things done and can accomplish the most in the least amount of time due to their swift movement. They tend to have more textured skin and chiseled facial features. They have a dominance of angles in their facial features. Robert Redford, Hugh Jackman, Tina Turner, and Maria Shriver are all dominant Type 3 people with very Type 3 facial features.

Type 4: A person with a dominant Type 4 expression is naturally constant, still, precise, exact, and structured. This Type of person naturally looks at the world with a critical eye. They have a natural gift to step back and see the bigger picture and the outcome and know how to perfect it. They can be seen as too critical and negative by others, due to their natural response to see the flaw first. Type 4’s hold a sense of being their own authority and being right most of the time. Being with this Type of person gives us a sense of more structure in our lives. They tend to have very porcelain skin and sculpted facial features. They have a dominance of parallel lines in their facial features. Keeanu Reeves, Simon Cowell, Demi Moore, and Audrey Hepburn are all dominant Type 4 people with very Type 4 facial features.

Once Sally knew her daughter’s natural expression was to be very random and buoyant, with a tendency to get distracted, she had a point of view that allowed her to move forward in her parenting approach that honored her child’s true nature rather than trying to change it. She became more honoring of his gifts and talents seeing what a breath of fresh air he was to the entire family and how effortlessly he made new friends and helped people feel better about themselves.

Her daughter learned how important it was that he approaches the tasks and activities in life in a manner that maintained a feeling of things being fun and light as that would motivate him to stay interested and follow through.

What Sally originally came to me for- to find ways to discipline her daughter to change her behavior – turned in to learning more ways to proactively support her in living true to her Type 1 energy and understand that she did not have the natural movement of structure operating in her natural expression.

This simple insight improved their relationship tenfold since having expectations that align with the true nature of our children will allow us to parent them in a way that gets amazing results.
