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...

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.

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.
