The Numinous Path to Healing, Power & Purpose

What is your intuition trying to tell you?

In a world that moves too fast, where we’re praised for productivity and punished for pausing—it’s no wonder we’ve forgotten how to listen to the quiet voice within. We push through, numb the discomfort, and ignore the whispers of our soul… until our body starts to scream.

Pain demands to be heard. But what if pain wasn’t the enemy? What if it was the message? The portal? The teacher?

Numinous is a deeply transformative journey back to your Self. It’s for the man or woman who knows there’s more—more alignment, more freedom, more truth to live by—but doesn’t know where to start.

Through my powerful SSS Method—Semantic, Somatic, and Soul-matic healing—you’ll reconnect with your intuition, release old patterns, and awaken the version of you that’s been waiting in the wings.

This is a journey of self-mastery, self-leadership, and spiritual alignment. This is what it means to live inspired—and in spirit.

The Semantic: Language That Liberates

We begin with Semantic techniques, which help you understand the deeper meaning behind your patterns and stories.

This is where we work with language, cognition, and belief systems to gently but powerfully recode the way you see your life—and yourself.

Using tools from:

• NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
• Psychology and Human Behavioural Science

You’ll uncover what you want to change, and why it’s been so hard to change it—until now. This is not just mindset work. This is mental reprogramming for conscious creation.

The Somatic: Healing Through the Body

Next, we drop into the wisdom of the body.

Somatic techniques allow us to bypass the limitations of talk therapy and get straight to the root. You’ll learn how to release trauma, tension, and emotional residue stored deep within your nervous system.

This part of the process includes:

• Qi Gong, Meditation, and Breathwork
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Lymphatic flow exercises to get energy moving again
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

When your body feels safe, your spirit can speak. When your energy flows, your life flows.

The Soul-matic: The Secret Sauce

Now we get quantum.

The Soul-matic is where the real magic happens. This is where we tap into spiritual alignment, your higher guidance, and your innate ability to heal in the energetic realm.

In a 45-minute guided activation, I take you deep into the quantum field. Together, we unlock sacred geometry, intuitive messages, energetic codes, and the original root of your pain—so it can be dissolved, transmuted, and re-written at a soul level.

Using ancient wisdom and modern techniques including:

• Shamanic Activation
• Quantum Healing
• Intuitive Messaging and Visual Codes

You’ll remember who you are. You’ll awaken your true purpose. You’ll experience what happens when you let your soul lead.

The Power of the SSS Method: Real Results, Real Miracles

There are so many stories I could tell.

Like the woman I worked with who was battling lupus and kidney failure. After her session, she walked away pain-free. She now radiates as the goddess she always was beneath the illness. The transformation was instant. Why? Because in the quantum, there is no time or space. Just truth. Just healing. Watch Jayne’s full story here. https://youtu.be/eG5zd2wViQg

And hers isn’t the only miracle. Every session brings breakthrough moments—tears, laughter, clarity, release. The body remembers. The soul rejoices.

Unlock the Secret to True Transformation

If you’re willing to show up, to listen deeply, to trust the process. My scientifically backed SSS Method won’t just change your life. It might just save it.

Numinous is for the anyone who:

• Are ready to lead themselves and others from a deeper place
• Want to balance spiritual alignment with real-world success
• Feel the nudge that it’s time to heal, for real

You deserve to be the healthiest, most vital, motivated, magnetic, and inspired version of you. The one who lives with purpose, energy, and soul-led certainty.

Numinous

In 2025, Red Lantern marked 24 years of sharing Vietnamese culture and cuisine with Sydney, and the world. We’re proud to be among the top 15% of businesses globally that last more than two decades, and to hold the title as the most awarded Vietnamese restaurant in the world.

Today, my brother Luke and partner Mark have taken our vision global, with Luke becoming one of the world’s most syndicated chefs, and Mark leading sustainability advocacy in hospitality.

But the journey hasn’t been without sacrifice.

When we opened Red Lantern back in 2002, we were fully booked every night. The thrill of success, however, came at a steep price. We worked 80 to 100-hour weeks, burnt out, stressed, and drained, too exhausted for our personal lives, our health, and even our dreams. I developed alopecia from the pressure.

Despite awards like Best New Restaurant and Best Asian Restaurant four years running, the cost was clear: burnout. One 2 a.m. after-shift conversation between us was a wake-up call. We were physically and mentally broken, and asking ourselves: “What are we doing? We look terrible, have no life left, and feel empty.”

We had chased external markers of success… accolades, recognition, fortune, but we’d lost sight of what truly matters: happiness and alignment with our values. Our business was flourishing, but our lives were not.

That moment sparked a transformation. We realized success isn’t about endless grind, it’s about working smarter, staying true to ourselves, and redefining what fulfillment really means.

Since then, we’ve embraced balance, purpose, and resilience, and only then did the true rewards of our work begin.

But the battle isn’t over. Hospitality in Sydney is still under threat.

As a family-owned restaurant competing against corporate giants and hedge fund-backed groups, the stakes have never been higher. According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, insolvencies in food and accommodation surged 92.4% in late 2023, and even large groups like Pacific Hunter (owners of Rockpool) reported significant losses.

Even billion-dollar players are struggling. The Star Entertainment Group, one of Australia’s largest casino operators, faces collapse amid mounting debt, costly delays, and serious regulatory probes. Experts warn its cash could run out soon, highlighting just how fragile even the biggest businesses are today.

That’s why I’m writing this article, to remind you that:

Family restaurants like Red Lantern survive because of you… our community.

We’re asking you to visit your favourite local restaurant once every six weeks, and bring a new friend. Small actions like these fill the gaps left by the inflation and aggressive industry consolidation.

True success means thriving inside and out

At Red Lantern, our credo remains: “To uplift the human spirit through the alchemy of flavour, hospitality and heart.”

We’re here because of resilience, grit, and YOU.

Success isn’t just about external validation. It’s about aligning with who you truly are and building a life, and a business, that feels right from the inside out.

We invite you to join us on this journey, to taste, to connect, to support, and to celebrate what family-owned hospitality means.

We don’t fall in love with the intention of falling apart. But sometimes, somewhere between the dishes, the deadlines, the diapers, and the distance, love becomes war. And the battlefield? Our words, our tone, our silence.

Dr. John Gottman famously identified the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” for relationships — Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling — as the greatest predictors of divorce.

If these riders are galloping through your conversations, it’s time to hit pause and reassess. Not with fear, but with fierce honesty.

Let’s break them down:

1st Horseman: Criticism

Criticism isn’t the same as a complaint. A complaint is about a specific behavior — it’s an “I felt this when you did that.” Criticism, on the other hand, is personal. It attacks your partner’s character, not their actions. It cuts deeper.

Complaint:

“I was worried when you didn’t call. I thought we agreed to check in if we’re running late.”

Criticism:

“You’re so selfish. You never think of me. You always do this.”

See the difference? One invites understanding. The other invites war.

And when criticism becomes the norm, it opens the door to something far worse…

2nd Horseman: Contempt

Contempt is toxic. It’s sarcasm. Eye-rolls. Ridicule. It’s saying, “I’m better than you,” even if those words are never spoken. It’s the death of respect — and where there’s no respect, there can be no love.

Contempt sounds like this:

“Oh wow, you forgot again. What a surprise. You’re so hopeless.”

But it feels like humiliation.

This is the most dangerous horseman. Not only is contempt the number one predictor of divorce, it’s also physically harmful — couples who sit in contempt are more prone to illness due to the stress it places on their bodies.

If you’re stuck in contempt, don’t ignore it. Get help. Fast. This one doesn’t just kill love — it poisons everything.

3rd Horseman: Defensiveness

When someone criticizes you, what do you do? Most of us snap back. Make excuses. Dodge blame. But here’s the thing: Defensiveness feels like self-protection, but it sounds like deflection.

Defensive response:

“I didn’t call because I was busy. You could’ve done it yourself.”

Healthy response:

“You’re right. I forgot, and I’m sorry. Let me take care of it now.”

Defensiveness shuts the door on accountability. It makes your partner feel unheard and unimportant. But when you own your part — even just a little — you invite peace back into the room.

4th Horseman: Stonewalling

Stonewalling is emotional shutdown. It’s when the conversation gets hard, and you simply check out. You look away. Say nothing. Walk off. You stop engaging because you feel overwhelmed, helpless, or just done.

But here’s what’s often behind stonewalling: emotional flooding. Your nervous system is screaming, “Too much!” and so you go cold.

That might sound like this:

“I can’t talk about this right now. I need a break.”

That’s actually a good thing — when communicated calmly. Go for a walk. Take 20 minutes. Breathe. Then come back, when your body isn’t in panic mode.

Stonewalling might feel like peace. But long-term? It’s the slow freeze of connection.

If the Four Horsemen ride unchecked, couples enter Stage Four: Resignation and Automaticity.

It’s not explosive anymore — it’s empty. No big fights, but no butterflies either. No more late-night talks. Just autopilot.

You co-exist. You’ve let go of magic and settled for maintenance.

At this point, many drift apart. The boredom and predictability feel like death by a thousand sighs.

But here’s the twist:

Stage Four doesn’t have to mean stalemate. It can be a turning point — a decision to shift from resentment to re-commitment.

You can choose soulmates over stalemates.

How?

• Keep your relationship as your first priority, even when you’re apart.
• Don’t take each other for granted.
• Create freshness again: new experiences, shared rituals, small surprises.
• Communicate with kindness, curiosity, and courage.

When you’re together, let there be appreciation. When you’re apart, let there be anticipation. That’s how you shift the energy — from “just surviving” to sacred thriving.

Conclusion

The Four Horsemen don’t have to destroy your love story. But they will — unless you learn to recognize them, rein them in, and rewrite the script.

Healthy love isn’t perfect.

It’s conscious. It’s intentional. It’s two people, choosing each other — over and over again.

Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

So the question isn’t whether the Horsemen have shown up in your relationship. The question is — are you ready to show them the door?

What if the purpose of your relationship was never comfort—but evolution?

The five stages of intimate relationships are the backbone of the Sacred Union and Conscious Relationship teachings I offer—designed not just to deepen connection, but to awaken you at a soul level.

Before we dive into Sacred Union—the divine dance of intimacy and transformation—we must first understand the terrain. Because true intimacy isn’t just about being close. It’s about being conscious.

So what is a Conscious Relationship, really?

It’s a sacred container where both parties choose to grow and evolve together as one another’s healing ally.  The result?  The expansion of one another’s consciousness, and therefore the expansion of their Sacred Union.

It’s where your partner doesn’t just hold your hand, they hold up a mirror. Where you don’t just feel seen—you are revealed.

By its very nature, a conscious relationship is meant to grow you. And growth isn’t always gentle. Sometimes it’s messy, uncomfortable, and confrontational—because it asks us to face the parts of ourselves we’ve long buried.

Your partner, whether you realize it or not, is perfectly designed to trigger your unhealed wounds—not to harm you, but to help you remember who you truly are.  Because you cannot heal what you cannot see.

This is not surface-level romance.

This is shadow work. Soul work. The alchemy of love that transforms your pain into power and your connection into consciousness.

So, let’s explore the five stages of intimate relationships—a framework based on the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, and deeply aligned with the developmental teachings I share.

And remember—these stages aren’t a straight line. They are a spiral. We circle back, we revisit, we re-learn. That’s the nature of conscious love: ever evolving, always inviting us higher.

Stage One: Romance

Ah, the honeymoon phase.

This is the “finally someone who gets me” stage. You feel complete. Euphoric. Lit up from the inside.

You’re both on your best behavior, defenses are down, and love flows freely. Every glance is electric. Every moment, magic. It’s intoxicating—and often misleading.

Because what’s happening here isn’t full reality. It’s selective perception.

We fall for the idea of the other person—the version they present and the version we want them to be. But eventually, the fog lifts.

What to remember: If you build a relationship based on the curated version of someone, you’ll be shocked when you meet the rest of them.

Stage Two: Reality Check

“What happened to the person I fell in love with?”

Welcome to the awakening. Romance fades and reality steps in. Suddenly, the quirks you once adored are… irritating. Flaws are no longer hidden behind rose-tinted filters.

Conflict arises. Disappointment creeps in.

This is the moment most relationships begin to wobble—because now, the rose-coloured glasses are off, and you’re seeing the whole human.

Welcome to Stage Two.

Here’s the invitation:

Can you look at your partner, in all their flawed, messy glory, and say—

“I accept you exactly as you are. You don’t need to change for me to love you”?

Now, let’s get real.

Take the things about them that irritate the hell out of you…

Now imagine those things amplified by 20%.

If you can still accept them—even with the volume turned up—then congrats, you’re ready to step into a conscious relationship.

But if the amplified version makes you want to scream, run, or shut down—

ABORT.

And that’s not a failure. That’s evolution.

It means you’re choosing truth over fear.

Not fear of being abandoned.

Not fear of being alone.

But a deeper commitment to your growth and your standards.

Stage Three: The Power Struggle

Here’s where the real work begins.

That early discomfort grows into full-blown tension. Resentments surface. Childhood wounds are triggered. You clash, withdraw, or fight to be seen and heard.

You might think about walking away. You might feel trapped. This stage can last years—or decades—if left unaddressed.

This is where many couples either do the work or check out.

What’s really happening here: Your soul has set the table for your biggest breakthroughs… if you’re brave enough to sit down and do the work.

Stage Four: Resignation or Reconnection?

At this stage, there’s less fire, but also less feeling.

No more big fights, but no big joys either. You’re on autopilot. Going through the motions. You’ve swapped connection for co-existence.

This is the “we’ve grown apart” stage. It’s quiet. Sometimes lonely. But this stage isn’t just an ending—it can be a turning point.

How to shift from resignation to reconnection:

• Prioritize your relationship, even when you’re apart.
• Create new shared rituals and experiences.
• Speak with curiosity, not criticism.
• Bring appreciation back into the everyday.
• Let there be anticipation when you’re apart, and presence when you’re together.

This is how you turn survival into sacred thriving.

Stage Five: New Awareness

This is where real love lives.

Not the love that needs or clings—but the love that supports, uplifts, and empowers. You no longer require your partner to change to feel worthy or whole.

Instead, you collaborate. You laugh. You create a shared vision. You choose each other—daily.

You stop blaming and start building.

The signs you’ve reached Stage Five:

• You never try to “win.”
• You accept each other’s differences with grace.
• You rarely argue—but when you do, it ends in laughter.
• You love yourselves enough to fully love each other.

Because here’s the truth:

If we don’t love ourselves, we can’t fully receive love from another. Not because we’re unlovable—but because we can’t hold what we haven’t cultivated within.

Sacred Union Is a Soul Journey

Relationships aren’t static—they’re living, breathing organisms that grow with us.

When we meet our partners as mirrors, allies, and co-creators, intimacy becomes not just a connection, but a catalyst.

These five stages will test you. They’ll grow you. But if you move through them with courage and conscious intention, they will also bless you.

The question isn’t whether you’ll face these stages—the question is: Will you walk through them consciously?

Because real love isn’t something you fall into. It’s something you rise into—together.

What Does It Mean to Be a Spiritual Man Today?

In a world that moves at lightning speed, being a “Spiritual Man” is less about a label and more about embodiment. A true Spiritual Man doesn’t say, “I am spiritual.” He says, “I am Spirit.” He is a Conscious Man, devoted to Self-Leadership and Self-Mastery, an embodiment of radical self-responsibility.

He understands the delicate dance between masculine and feminine energy. He knows when to stand firm and when to surrender, when to push forward and when to soften. He doesn’t run from his emotions; he feels them fully. He doesn’t suppress his wounds; he owns them. He processes his past, sits with his shadows, and emerges stronger because of it.

A Spiritual Man is not about escaping life’s struggles but engaging with them fully, transforming pain into wisdom and challenges into growth.

Is It Love, Achievement, or Something Deeper?

What truly drives a man’s sense of self-worth? Is it success, recognition, love, or something deeper?

In today’s fast-paced world, men seek relevance, value, and respect, whether in their careers, relationships, or personal pursuits. But the roots of a man’s self-worth run deep. Childhood experiences, cultural expectations, media, and societal norms all play a role in shaping how a man sees himself and his place in the world.

I grew up with three brothers and have the privilege of knowing many evolved men. What I’ve learned is this: True manhood isn’t about external validation. It’s about taking ownership of one’s life, stepping into leadership, and shaping destiny with intention.

Men often find purpose in providing, protecting, and achieving. Their work, their contributions, and the impact they make in the world all signal a purpose-driven life. But real fulfillment comes when a man defines success on his own terms, beyond society’s expectations.

Strength and Vulnerability, Can They Coexist?

Men have long been conditioned to suppress vulnerability, equating it with weakness. But the truth is, embracing vulnerability is a mark of true strength.

In meaningful relationships, men will reveal their vulnerabilities, willingly or not. Beneath the protective armour lies a human being with emotions, fears, and desires. The key is learning how to express vulnerability without feeling diminished.

Great leaders, warriors, and kings throughout history have all experienced doubt, fear, and emotional depth. The difference? They didn’t let vulnerability define them, they let it inform them.

To be vulnerable is to be human. To acknowledge it is to be wise. And to integrate it into one’s life with confidence, that is true power.

Do We Overlook Men’s Emotional Needs?

Men are often seen as pragmatic, logical, and solution-driven. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a skill many successful men develop, allowing them to navigate leadership and relationships with level-headedness. But does this mean their emotional needs are overlooked?

In a culture that glorifies stoicism and success, men’s emotional well-being can take a backseat. And while many men thrive in quiet introspection, that doesn’t mean they don’t need support, connection, and spaces to express their emotions.

Happiness for many men is simple financial security, meaningful work, and time for personal passions. But beyond that, men also need safe spaces to express their inner worlds, whether through brotherhood, mentorship, or the presence of a supportive partner.

The True Mark of Emotional Strength

What does real emotional strength look like for a man? It’s not about being unshaken or invulnerable. It’s about being steady, dependable, and self-aware. A truly strong man knows himself, his values, boundaries, and purpose. He understands his emotions and regulates them with wisdom. He is thoughtful, forgiving, curious, and open to growth.

Strength is not the absence of fear, pain, or doubt. Strength is knowing yourself deeply and choosing to rise every day with purpose and integrity despite the fear, the pain and the doubt.

Conclusion

It is through deep self-examination and personal reflection that a man can cultivate emotional mastery and develop a healthy relationship with his feelings.

This is The Way of the Spiritual Man.

The Way of the Spiritual man is one of awareness, responsibility, Self-Leadership and Self-Mastery. He does not simply exist in the world, he consciously chooses how to show up in it. He leads himself with integrity, embraces his strengths and weaknesses, and understands that true power lies in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and vulnerability.

A Spiritual Man does not shy away from life’s challenges, he meets them head-on with courage, wisdom, and heart. He is both strong and soft, both warrior and sage. And in this balance, he finds his true power—The Power of Spirit.

Ever faced a freezing day that flips your view on winter?

A trip to Niagara Falls in winter did that to me. The mist from the falls froze into icicles on all the trees, roof edges, railings and walkways. Icy snow and frigid wind blew everywhere. I had worried I’d freeze, miserable as fuck. Honestly, I can’t stand the cold. That’s no exaggeration! Luckily for me, my partner Chris is ex U.S Airforce and works at the highest level of strategy at the Pentagon in D.C and knows a thing or two about Preparedness. Chris is an ‘accessories’ man. A firm believer that if you have the right equipment, life is better.

Knowing how much I hate the cold he made sure I had all the right gear. A well-padded arctic parker from LL Bean protected me from the elements and kept me snug all over. Sturdy snow boots and heavy-duty snow gloves from Columbia gave me the perfect protection for my fingers and toes. Matching marino wool neck gaiter, beanie and thermal under layers hugged me like a welcome friend.

For sure I looked like the ‘Michelin Man’ – you could have rolled me down the pavement and I would have bounced along safely. ‘Oompa Loompa’ vibes were real, but damn I was warm. Not one part of my body felt cold except for the areas that I chose to have exposed. When sudden peri-menopausal hot flashes hit, the frisk air was a welcome respite on my hands, face and neck.

I looked at the falls, frozen in time. The cold air should have made me shiver to the core, but I felt more warm and more alive than ever. Not a hint of chill. Turns out, having the right gear changes a dreaded icy trip into a fun and magical adventure.

And isn’t that a bit like business? Having the right tools makes all the difference. With spot on support, you turn struggles into successes. Things that seemed hard become easy, joyful and fun.

No more needless suffering.

Ready to equip yourself with the right tools, and support strategies in business and in life? At The Ninja’s Edge webinar I’ll show you how to Unleash the Power Advantage to turn obstacles into opportunities.

It’s been quite the week!

With my Closer out, I had to take on sales calls again. And what a wake-up call it was.

This morning, I spoke with an executive who was functioning on the fumes of stress and overwhelm. Papers everywhere, phone buzzing nonstop, shallow chest breathing, jittery fingers, almost every sentence started with, “I’m a fucking mess.” She was really in need.

As we talked, I sensed her mix of relief and desperation. She knew she needed help. I kept thinking about how my work has assisted so many just like her transform the chaos.

In life’s chaos, it’s easy to forget there’s help out there. We get so caught up trying to manage everything ourselves that we miss the solutions right in front of us. She finally realised that ‘lone wolfing’ it was making her sick.

Just like that executive found some hope, you can too. Admitting things are out of control is okay. What matters is taking the first step toward change.

If you’re ready to find balance and bring peace to the chaos…

I’m here, ready to listen and help.

I’m holding a webinar to help more people find calm amongst the chaos.

It’s the first of its kind.

Don’t worry, I’ve kept it affordable.

Pauline

As ‘The Spiritual Entrepreneur’ and a renowned motivational speaker, Pauline Nguyen continues to hold her spot as a powerful player in the world of conscious leadership training, speaking on entrepreneurship and wellbeing for over fifteen years.

Sharing her profound insights on this, Pauline leads the way in conscious governance through her profound wisdom, paving the way for CEOs, consultants and executives toward enlightened business management.

What is Mindful Leadership?

Through her teachings and keynote speeches, Pauline shows us how mindful leadership, at its core, is the transformative approach to managing business with a deep focus on self-awareness, empathy, and consciousness.

The sacred practice involves being fully present, making deliberate decisions, and cultivating an environment that fosters well-being and growth for both execs, clients, and whole teams – something that is crucial for sustainable and ongoing success.

What is a Spiritual Entrepreneur?

A spiritual entrepreneur is a leader who understands the importance of nurturing a positive workplace culture. They are deeply committed to personal development, allowing them to lead with authenticity, resilience, and compassion.

Pauline reminds us that true conscious management transcends traditional paradigms: mindful trailblazers prioritise emotional intelligence, active listening, inspiration, and ethical decision-making as they drive business forward.

Differentiating Religion and Spirituality

For a long time, spirituality and religion were used interchangeably prior to Pauline’s efforts to shift the narrative. But this is not the case (nor should it ever have been).

Religion Needs Spirituality

Yet spirituality does not need religion. Let’s break down both terms.

Religion is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses various belief systems, practices, rituals, and traditions. It typically involves a set of moral codes centered around the worship of deities, a divine or supernatural power, or a higher purpose.

Spirituality, on the other hand, is a broad and subjective quest for meaning, involving personal exploration of principles, values, meditation, self leadership, self mastery and connections to the divine or transcendent. Put simply, to be spiritual, is to deliberately live your life In Spirit and Inspired.

Fast forward to current times, and the term ‘Spiritual Entrepreneur’ is now touted as the new paradigm in business and management.

Through her speakership and programs, Pauline dispels the difference between a Spiritual and a Conscious Entrepreneur, showing leaders that now more than ever, to be one is to be the other – one simply cannot exist in isolation without the other.

Learn How to Practice Mindful Leadership in Business

We’re reminded that practicing mindful leadership involves cultivating a deep awareness of thoughts, actions, and the impact they have on yourself and others. Take the first step towards transformative governance and contact Pauline today to learn how to unlock the potential for greater success, enhanced well-being, and positive impact on your entrepreneurial journey. You can also book Pauline for one of her amazing keynote speeches.
