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...

How to Ground and Clear Your Energy: Reconnecting with Yourself

Image
By The Artful Woman


There have been countless times in my life when I felt stuck, stagnant, and completely out of sync with myself. It wasn’t just exhaustion or stress—it was deeper than that. Something felt off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Was I spiritually disconnected? Had I lost a part of myself along the way?

I knew I had to figure it out because I didn’t like feeling this way. Back in the '80s, I experimented with mind-altering substances like ecstasy, acid, and mushrooms. But honestly, I only tried them once and never looked back. I hated the feeling of not being in control of my thoughts. I realized then that I needed to feel grounded—to be fully present, aware, and connected to my energy.

If you’ve ever felt lost, unbalanced, or energetically drained, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are powerful ways to clear and ground your energy so you can feel like yourself again. Whether you’re dealing with spiritual fatigue, emotional heaviness, or just a sense of being uncentered, these techniques will help you realign, release negativity, and reclaim your power.

Key Practices for Grounding and Clearing Energy

1. Mindful Breathing

Breathing is one of the fastest ways to reconnect with your body and energy. Take slow, deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of air moving in and out of your body. Try inhaling deeply for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four. This simple practice can instantly bring you back to the present moment.

2. Nature Immersion

Spending time outdoors is one of the most effective ways to ground yourself. Walk barefoot on grass, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, or listen to the rustling of leaves. Nature has an incredible way of realigning our energy and helping us feel connected again.

3. Guided Meditation

Visualization is a powerful grounding tool. Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet, reaching deep into the earth, anchoring you with stability and strength. This practice helps release scattered energy and reconnect with the earth’s natural flow.

4. Body Scan Meditation

Mentally scan your body from head to toe, noticing any tension, discomfort, or energetic blockages. Consciously release these areas by breathing into them and allowing relaxation to take over.

5. Physical Activity

Movement helps release stagnant energy. Whether it’s walking, yoga, dancing, or stretching, engaging your body mindfully can shake off negativity and restore balance.

6. Sensory Grounding

Focus on your senses to pull yourself back into the present. Name five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can touch, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This practice instantly brings you into the now.

7. Journaling

Writing is a powerful way to release heavy emotions and clear your mental space. Let your thoughts flow without judgment—sometimes, simply getting them onto paper can bring clarity and relief.

8. Affirmations

Positive statements help shift your energy. Try saying:
"I am grounded, centered, and safe."
"I release what no longer serves me."
"I am connected to my highest self."
Repeat these daily to reinforce a strong, balanced energy field.

9. Crystal Healing

Crystals carry energetic properties that can aid in grounding and clearing. Hold or place grounding stones like black tourmaline, smoky quartz, or hematite around you. For spiritual cleansing, amethyst and selenite work wonders.

10. Sound Therapy

Certain frequencies and sounds help clear stagnant energy. Listen to nature sounds, Tibetan singing bowls, or specific binaural beats to harmonize your energy field.

Important Considerations

  • Set an Intention – Before beginning any grounding practice, take a moment to set your intention. Clearly state that you are releasing negativity and calling in stability and peace.
  • Consistency is Key – Grounding and clearing your energy isn’t a one-time fix. Regular practice helps maintain a balanced and aligned energy field.
  • Seek Support if Needed – If you’re experiencing deep emotional heaviness, working with a therapist, energy healer, or spiritual guide can provide additional clarity and healing.

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.

The Power of the Vagus Nerve: Unlocking Your Body’s Natural Healing Potential

By The Artful Woman
The vagus nerve is one of the most remarkable and powerful parts of our nervous system, but it's often overlooked. As the primary player in the parasympathetic nervous system, it helps regulate key bodily functions such as digestion, heart rate, and mood. What’s even more fascinating is how stimulating this nerve can enhance your health and well-being in profound ways. Having recently earned my certification as a Master Life Coach in Mindset, I found that understanding the vagus nerve is essential to achieving greater balance, healing, and resilience. 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. This system governs the “rest and digest” response, which is essentially the opposite of the “fight o...
