So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

  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...

Reciprocal Motion: The Energy of Action and Attraction


Reciprocal Motion: The Missing Link Between Thought and Manifestation

Written by Master Law of Attraction Coach Jean Marshall

Action as Energy

Action is energy. In physics, energy is defined as the capacity to do work. When you take action, you’re expending energy, and that energy doesn’t just disappear—it interacts with the world around you.

Think of it like throwing a pebble into a still pond. The pebble (your action) creates ripples that spread outward, affecting everything in their path. Similarly, your actions create waves of energy that influence your reality.

The Law of Action

This principle is closely tied to the Law of Attraction. While the Law of Attraction focuses on the power of thought and intention, the Law of Action emphasizes the importance of doing.

You can visualize and affirm all you want, but without taking concrete steps, your desires are unlikely to manifest. Action bridges the gap between intention and reality—it’s the physical manifestation of your mental and emotional energy.

Why Reciprocal Motion Works

The concept of Reciprocal Motion is powerful. Even if your actions aren’t perfectly aligned with your end goal, the very act of moving creates momentum.

Imagine a car stuck in the mud. Spinning the wheels might not get you out immediately, but it generates friction, heat, and ultimately, traction. Similarly, any action you take creates a vibration that attracts something back to you. This "something" might not be exactly what you intended, but it provides feedback, new opportunities, and unexpected pathways forward.

The Power of Momentum

Momentum is key. Once you start moving, it becomes easier to stay in motion. Even small, seemingly insignificant actions build momentum, making it easier to tackle bigger challenges and reach your goals.

This is why it’s crucial to avoid analysis paralysis—overthinking to the point of inaction. Imperfect action is better than no action at all.

Connecting It to the Law of Attraction

While action is crucial, it works best when combined with the Law of Attraction.

  • Your thoughts and feelings provide direction.

  • Your actions provide the fuel.

Even if your initial actions are slightly off-course, they generate feedback that allows you to refine your approach and move closer to your goal.

Example: Manifesting an Online Business

Let’s say your goal is to start a successful online business. You might not know exactly what product to sell or how to market it. Reciprocal Motion suggests that you start taking any action related to online business.

  • Research different business models.

  • Learn about website design.

  • Set up a social media account for your future business.

These actions might not lead to immediate success, but they generate energy, create connections, and provide valuable learning experiences—all of which bring you closer to your goal.

Reciprocal Motion and Energy Flow

Reciprocal Motion aligns with both metaphysical and scientific principles of energy flow.

Everything in the universe operates through cycles, movement, and energy exchange. When you stay in action, you generate momentum, and that momentum attracts new opportunities, people, and synchronicities.

This works in two ways:

  1. Energetically (Law of Attraction) – Taking action shifts your vibration and keeps energy moving. If you’re aligned with your desires, that movement draws in opportunities.

  2. Physically (Cause & Effect) – Action itself changes circumstances. Even if an action isn’t directly related to your goal, movement creates new pathways for things to unfold.

Why Does This Work?

  • Energy in motion stays in motion (Newton’s First Law but applied to life energy).

  • The Universe responds to frequency—stagnation attracts stagnation, movement attracts movement.

  • Action sparks inspiration—by doing something, you open your mind to creative ideas, unexpected insights, and guidance from your intuition or spirit guides.

  • Confidence grows through action—when you take even small steps, you reinforce belief in yourself, which raises your energy even more.

Thought vs. Action

Thought alone is powerful, but when combined with action, it becomes unstoppable. My younger self knew this intuitively, and my journey as a Master Law of Attraction Coach has only reinforced its power.

Final Thoughts

  • Action is energy—it creates ripples in your reality.

  • The Law of Action complements the Law of Attraction—it’s the bridge between intention and manifestation.

  • Reciprocal Motion highlights the importance of continuous movement, even if it’s imperfect.

  • Momentum is key—small steps compound over time.

  • When focused intention meets consistent action, success becomes inevitable.

It’s a practical and powerful way to harness the laws of the universe.

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

​ 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...

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

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...

Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...
