18. Shay Rays: Ascension, Light Codes & Discernment

“You’ve been activated, welcome to your ascension”Quincee invites the priestess of detail and energy worker Shay Rays into a blindfolded painting experiment, tracking their movement through the body’s energy centers. Shay shares about her major spiritual awakening at age 30 during quarantine that led her to channel symbols and “light codes,” alongside kundalini energy and trance messages. She describes an early period of fear, misplaced devotion to outside entities, and subsequent lessons in discernment, sovereignty, and returning to craft. Shay explains light codes as “soul script,” reflects on art as a mystical portal that can shift inner and outer reality. Now transitioning from the desert to Seattle, she speaks on healing, embodied leadership, joy, curiosity amid divisiveness (including AI), and visions for future creative projects, retreats, and spaces.00:00 Into the Void00:34 Blindfold Painting Ritual00:42 Root Fire Check In03:26 Awakening Into Art05:30 Comfort With Shadow07:07 Psychic Opening Stories09:29 Discernment and Sovereignty13:19 Mystical Painting Practice14:37 Phoenix Breakthrough18:08 Art as Portal20:35 What Are Light Codes22:01 Codes and Identity Shift23:55 Kundalini Awakening Realization24:37 Loneliness and Misunderstood Gifts26:57 Entering the Heart Forest27:45 Returning Home and Healing30:30 Beginners Mind in Art32:25 Joy as a Life Practice33:34 Curiosity in a Divided World35:32 AI and the Mystery38:54 Ten Things to Create42:53 Crown Guidance and Closing44:28 Sharing the Art and Where to Find Her45:13 Podcast Outro and Farewell
