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...

Deep Thinker, Deep Feeler: The Path to Intuition and Psychic Awareness

Image
By The Artful Woman

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a deep thinker and a deep feeler. I analyze everything, searching for meaning beneath the surface. I don’t just experience emotions—I absorb them, sometimes so intensely that they feel overwhelming.

Because of this, I’ve never been able to watch scary or violent movies. They don’t just scare me—they stay with me. The fear, the pain, the energy of what’s happening on screen lingers long after the credits roll. It’s as if I become part of the scene, feeling what the characters feel. For years, I thought I was just overly sensitive. But then I learned something that changed everything.

Deep thinking and deep feeling often align with heightened intuition. Deep thinkers naturally analyze, reflect, and seek meaning beyond the obvious, while deep feelers experience emotions profoundly and are highly sensitive to energy. I now realize that my sensitivity isn’t just a personality trait—it’s a sign of something more. I’m an empath, but perhaps even beyond that.

The Connection Between Deep Feeling and Intuition

At first, I dismissed my experiences as simple empathy, but the more I explored, the more I recognized a deeper connection. Could my heightened awareness be something greater—something intuitive, or even psychic? Here’s why I believe so:

  1. Deep Thinking Leads to Pattern Recognition
    I constantly search for patterns—whether in people’s behaviors, life events, or my own thoughts. Intuition operates the same way, picking up on subtle connections before our logical mind catches on.

  2. Deep Feeling Enhances Emotional Awareness
    I don’t just notice emotions—I experience them. If someone is sad, even if they don’t say a word, I feel it. I sense tension in the air before an argument starts. I can walk into a room and instantly pick up on its energy. This emotional sensitivity is not just empathy—it’s intuitive perception.

  3. Empathy as a Gateway to Intuition
    Empaths don’t just understand emotions; they absorb them. But what if that ability extends beyond emotions? What if we can also pick up on thoughts, intentions, or even spiritual energy? Many intuitive and psychic people begin as empaths, and I’m beginning to believe my sensitivity is more than just emotional—it’s energetic.

  4. A Deep Connection to the Unseen
    For years, I ignored my gut feelings—only to realize later that they were right. Now, I’m learning to trust them. Because intuition isn’t just a vague feeling; it’s real, and it’s powerful.

What This Means for Me (And Maybe for You, Too)

If you:

  • Feel emotions deeply, sometimes to the point of overwhelm
  • Pick up on energies and moods without knowing why
  • Struggle with violent or intense media because it affects you on a deeper level
  • Have strong gut feelings that often turn out to be right

Then you may also be more intuitive than you realize. You might even have psychic abilities waiting to be explored.

I’m still on this journey, but one thing is clear—deep thinking and deep feeling aren’t weaknesses. They are gifts. They allow us to connect with the world in ways most people never will. They make us more aware, more in tune, and more open to the unseen.

And maybe, just maybe, they are the key to unlocking something even greater.

Learning to Speak Again—from the Inside Out

By The Artful Woman
There was a time I silenced myself— Not because I had nothing to say, But because I thought nobody cared. It all started when I became a photographer. I spent years capturing other people’s stories—their moments, their milestones, their memories. I poured myself into their light while quietly fading into the background. No one ever really asked about my story. Then I moved to a town where, oddly enough, that silence deepened. Coming from Orange County, I was used to people being curious—wanting to know me, connect with me. But after moving to Lake Elsinore, it felt like no one gave two shits about who I was or what I’d lived through. Even in my church community—despite showing up, attending events, trying to build relationships—no one asked. No one seemed to care. So, over time, I just stopped sharing. I stopped offering anything at all. For years, I silenced myself. Not because I had nothing to say— But because nobody asked. Then came the stroke. Afterward, I stuttered and stumb...

From Employee to Entrepreneur

By The Artful Woman
You might wonder why I started a photography business.  After losing my career in the mortgage industry and struggling to find work in sales and marketing during the 2007 recession, I turned to landscape photography as a hobby. People who saw my photos started asking for headshots and family portraits. Initially, I resisted, insisting I didn't photograph people. But with gentle encouragement from friends, I eventually gave in, and lo and behold, I was really good at photographing people. So much so that it felt more like divine intervention. It was as if God were saying, "Stop trying to open doors to your past of dead-end jobs and oversold career promises when I'm trying to open doors to your future." This was a spiritual awakening, and with that, everything sort of just fell into line. After that, what truly motivated me to start my own business was a deep-seated frustration. I was tired of building other people's empires with my own sweat and effort. Whether it ...

Reclaiming Wholeness: From Survival to Soul-Aligned Success

By The Artful Woman
There are two pivotal moments in my life that changed everything. The first was when I had my stroke. I was lying on the ground, unable to move, and I prayed to God, “Please don’t leave me like this.” I had no idea how I was going to provide for myself. I’ve been an unmarried woman my entire life—not necessarily by choice, but because I never met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So I’ve always had to pay my own bills and take care of myself. After my stroke, I was left with deep trauma and fear. It felt like my soul had disconnected—like I’d lost a piece of who I was, and I didn’t know how to get it back. The second was the pandemic. It left a lot of fear in me. I had my stroke during the pandemic, and in a strange way, it was both a blessing and a curse. The world stopped—and that pause gave me the time I needed to heal. In the beginning, I focused on my physical healing. I thought that was the most important thing. I needed to rebuild my strength, stamina, and endu...

From Paralysis to Progress

By The Artful Woman
 One Step at a Time  After going up and then down hundreds of steps of stairs, on my way back up again I looked up at the steep steps and asked myself while out of breath why I do this? The answer came quickly: Because I can! Walking is a gift, and as a #strokesurvivor, it's also a #miracle that I am able to. Having been completely paralyzed on half my body, every step for me is a victory. On my way back up, I knew the higher I climbed, the harder I had to push myself.  With each step I take, the distance between me and a repeat stroke lessens. I push past what feels impossible and I #nevergiveup.
