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...

The Power of Forgiveness

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


Lately, I’ve been reflecting deeply on the concept of forgiveness. I want to develop my psychic abilities and explore the metaphysical world, but I realize that holding onto old pain, anger, and resentment is blocking my spiritual growth. People have hurt me in ways that are difficult to forgive—from abuse and violence to lies, betrayal, and damage to my reputation and business. The weight of these past wounds has kept me tethered to negativity for too long.

Today, a realization struck me: I don’t have to reconcile with these people or allow them back into my life. I don’t have to like them, and they don’t even need to know that I’ve forgiven them. Forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about me. It’s about releasing the negative energy that lingers, freeing my heart and mind so I can evolve and step into my highest self.

What if reincarnation is real? What if I came back to this life to learn a specific lesson—and that lesson is forgiveness? It’s a daunting thought, considering the depth of pain I’ve experienced. But if I am truly meant to ascend spiritually, I must embrace this challenge.

Even the teachings of God remind us to love our enemies. I am working on sending love and light to those who, in my mind, don’t deserve my prayers. I’ve long believed they should face the karma they have coming, but I’m realizing that thoughts carry energy—energy that lingers, grows, and shapes my reality. If I focus on retribution, I only invite that energy into my own life. I don’t want to be trapped in that cycle anymore.

So, I choose to forgive. I choose to send love and light. I choose to release the pain, not for their sake, but for mine. This shift in perspective—this paradigm shift—is what will propel me to the next level of my spiritual journey. It’s time to move forward, to embrace peace, and to step into a higher dimension of my existence.

I am also currently taking a course in forgiveness and will soon be a certified Forgiveness Coach. If you are struggling with letting go and finding peace, I am here to help. Feel free to reach out, and together, we can work towards freeing your heart and mind from the past. Visit Artful Living Coaching

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

By The Artful Woman
​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...

From Survival to Transformation: Using Mind, Spirit, and Energy to Empower Others

By The Artful Woman
 I've been on a transformative journey of higher learning and spirituality, one that is deeply enlightening for both my mind and my soul. This experience has been profound, as the more I seek knowledge, the more it seems to find me. It's as if the saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear," is unfolding in my life. The vastness of what is available to learn and explore excites me, and it's all starting to connect and make sense. I’ve delved into techniques such as tapping into psychic abilities, hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, the Law of Attraction, EFT tapping, and mindset work. My life experiences have already taught me that when we set intentions and put things in motion, the wheels begin to turn, and doors open. In my quest for enlightenment, I’ve also studied the Three Divine Principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, gaining a deeper understanding of how these elements shape our reality and spiritual experience. In many ways, ...

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...
