So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

By The Artful Woman
  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

By The Artful Woman

 


Life can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected, drained, or unbalanced. Whether it's stress, emotional turbulence, or physical fatigue, recognizing the need to recalibrate your energy is the first step toward restoring harmony. Here are practical and holistic methods to try when your energy feels off:

1. Self-Reflection: Identify the Root Cause

When you sense an energetic shift, start by turning inward:

  • Pinpoint the Source: Are you stressed, overwhelmed, or tired? Identifying the "why" can help guide the "how" in finding balance.
  • Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings to uncover patterns or triggers contributing to the imbalance. Self-awareness often holds the key to clarity.

2. Prioritize Self-Care: Nourish Your Body and Soul

Replenishing your energy starts with self-care:

  • Rest and Relaxation: Dedicate time to unwind with deep breathing exercises, meditation, or even a quiet walk in nature.
  • Healthy Habits: Eat nourishing foods, stay hydrated, and move your body regularly. Physical well-being is deeply tied to emotional and energetic balance.

3. Connect with Nature: Tap into Earth’s Energy

Nature offers a grounding force that can restore and stabilize your energy:

  • Grounding: Walk barefoot on grass or sand, or sit by a tree to connect with the Earth’s calming energy.
  • Sunlight Therapy: Spend time in natural light to boost your mood and promote overall vitality.

4. Embrace Mindful Practices: Cultivate Inner Calm

Mindfulness is a powerful way to realign your energy:

  • Meditation: Practice mindfulness meditation or explore visualization techniques to quiet the mind and foster peace.
  • Yoga: Integrate yoga into your routine to enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and open energetic pathways.

5. Reconnect with Loved Ones: Nurture Social Energy

Human connection can be a profound source of healing:

  • Meaningful Conversations: Share your thoughts with trusted friends or family members. Sometimes, expressing yourself out loud can help release energetic blocks.
  • Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to lean on your social circle for encouragement and reassurance.

6. Seek Professional Help: When the Energy Block Persists

If self-guided efforts don't alleviate the imbalance, consider professional assistance:

  • Therapy or Counseling: A therapist can provide tools to address emotional challenges and restore harmony.
  • Energy Healing Practitioners: Explore modalities like Reiki, acupuncture, or chakra balancing for more specialized care.

7. Physical Practices for Energy Clearing

Movement and physical techniques can help shift stagnant energy:

  • Yoga: Focus on poses like downward-facing dog or shoulder stand to open energy channels.
  • Tai Chi or Qigong: Gentle, flowing movements cultivate and balance Qi (vital energy).
  • Breathing Exercises: Try alternate nostril breathing or diaphragmatic breathing to release tension and reset your energy.
  • Rebounding: A few minutes on a mini-trampoline can stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage.

8. Metaphysical Practices: Clear Energy Blocks

For a more spiritual approach, try these energy-clearing techniques:

  • Meditation and Visualization: Envision white light cleansing your body, or focus on clearing and balancing your chakras.
  • Sound Healing: Use singing bowls, chimes, or calming music to create vibrational shifts.
  • Crystal Healing: Hold or place crystals like amethyst or clear quartz on energy centers during meditation.
  • Smudging: Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to purify your aura or space.

9. Space Clearing: Create a Positive Environment

Your surroundings play a role in your energy:

  • Declutter: Remove physical clutter to promote a sense of peace and flow.
  • Salt Lamps: Use Himalayan salt lamps to cleanse and harmonize the atmosphere.
  • Sound Cleansing: Use bells or Tibetan singing bowls to clear stagnant energy.

10. Energy Healing Modalities

Explore alternative practices to support energetic alignment:

  • Reiki Healing: Channel universal life energy to promote relaxation and healing.
  • Shamanic Practices: Work with spiritual guidance to address deeper energetic imbalances.
  • Chakra Cleansing: Focus on balancing the body’s energy centers through meditation, breathwork, or crystals.

A Gentle Reminder

Restoring your energy is a deeply personal journey. Listen to your body and intuition, experimenting with what resonates most with you. Be patient and compassionate with yourself—imbalances are natural and can be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

With consistent self-care, mindful practices, and the support of loved ones or professionals, you can restore balance and thrive energetically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Mesmerism vs. The Emotion Code: A Look at the Use of Magnets in Energy Healing

By The Artful Woman
During my training to become a hypnotherapist, I learned about Franz Anton Mesmer and his intriguing use of magnets in healing. Mesmer believed in a concept called "animal magnetism," a vital energy force he thought could be manipulated to restore balance in the body. His methods, though controversial, were an early exploration of the mind-body connection and the power of suggestion. Fast forward to today, and magnets are still being used in energy healing practices—most notably in The Emotion Code, a modern modality that claims to identify and release trapped emotions through muscle testing and magnetic energy. But how do these two approaches compare? While they both involve magnets, the philosophies behind them and their applications are vastly different. In this blog, I’ll explore the historical use of magnets in Mesmerism and contrast it with how magnets are used in The Emotion Code, shedding light on their similarities, differences, and what we can learn from both.

In this blog, I’ll walk you through the core functions of the vagus nerve, why it’s so critical to your health, and how you can activate it to improve both your physical and emotional well-being. Core Function of the Vagus Nerve The vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve X, is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system.
