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...

Unlocking Your Potential with the Dickens Pattern: Rewriting Your Limiting Beliefs

As a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, I help people break free from the mental chains of limiting beliefs. One of the most powerful NLP techniques for transformation is the Dickens Pattern—a method that allows you to confront your past, reframe your present, and create an empowered future.

What is the Dickens Pattern?

The Dickens Pattern is inspired by Charles Dickens’ classic story, A Christmas Carol, where Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. These encounters force him to experience the pain of his past, the consequences of his present actions, and the bleak future that awaits if he refuses to change. This profound emotional experience motivates Scrooge to transform his life overnight.

In NLP, the Dickens Pattern works the same way by leveraging pain and pleasure to create lasting change. It guides you through a deep, emotional journey that exposes the true cost of holding onto limiting beliefs—then rewires your mindset for success.

How the Dickens Pattern Works

This technique follows four key steps:

1. Associating Pain with Your Limiting Beliefs

First, you must vividly recall and relive the negative impact of your limiting belief. We explore:

  • The Past: How has this belief hurt you in the past? What opportunities have you missed? How has it held you back?

  • The Present: How is this belief affecting you right now? How does it impact your relationships, career, confidence, and well-being?

  • The Future: If you continue holding onto this belief, where will you be in five, ten, or twenty years? What regrets will you have?

By fully immersing yourself in this emotional pain, your brain begins to reject the limiting belief as a survival mechanism.

2. Interrupting the Pattern

Once the pain is deeply felt, we disrupt the pattern by breaking the unconscious association between the belief and your identity. This can be done through guided NLP interventions, visualization exercises, and shifting perspectives.

3. Creating a New, Empowering Belief

Now that the old belief is shaken loose, it’s time to replace it with a powerful, positive belief that supports your goals and values. We craft a new identity—one rooted in confidence, success, and self-worth.

4. Conditioning the New Belief

To solidify this transformation, we anchor the new belief with:

  • Positive emotions (joy, excitement, empowerment)

  • Visualization techniques (seeing yourself thriving with this belief)

  • Repetition and reinforcement (daily affirmations and mental conditioning)

Why the Dickens Pattern Works

This technique is so effective because: ✔ It engages deep emotions, making change feel urgent and necessary. ✔ It rewires your subconscious mind, shifting automatic behaviors. ✔ It creates a compelling future, pulling you toward success instead of being stuck in old patterns.

Transform Your Life Today

Just like Scrooge had a breakthrough that changed his destiny, you have the power to rewrite your story. By using the Dickens Pattern, you can eliminate limiting beliefs, step into your full potential, and create a future of success, happiness, and fulfillment.

If you're ready to break free from self-imposed limitations and design a life you love, let’s work together! As a Certified NLP Practitioner, I’m here to guide you through this life-changing process.

The Reticular Activating System: Your Brain’s Gatekeeper and Its Role in Stress and Anxiety

By The Artful Woman
Have you ever noticed how once you start thinking about buying a certain car, you suddenly see it everywhere? Or how a single negative thought can spiral into a whole cascade of worries? That’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work. The RAS is a powerful network of neurons in the brainstem responsible for filtering sensory information, regulating alertness, and influencing our focus. But beyond helping us pay attention, it also plays a key role in stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation. Understanding how it works can help us manage our thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS)? The RAS is essentially your brain’s filter. Every second, your senses take in massive amounts of information, but your brain can only process a fraction of it. The RAS determines which stimuli are important and which can be ignored. It keeps you alert when necessary and helps transition between wakefulness and sleep. Here are its key functions: Regulati...

Awakening to the Divine Within: Journey of Spiritual Transformation

By The Artful Woman
  Awakening to the Divine Within: Journey of Spiritual Transformation For most of my life, I have been on a quest for understanding—of the world, of myself, and of the unseen forces that shape our existence. This journey has taken me through various teachings, practices, and experiences, each one peeling back another layer of the illusion I once thought was reality. One of the most profound realizations I’ve had is that we are more than just physical beings navigating this earthly realm. We are, in essence, spiritual beings having a human experience. But what does that truly mean? And how do we awaken to this deeper truth? The Call to Awakening Awakening is not a single event but a series of moments that shake us from our slumber. It may come through suffering, through loss, through love, or even in the quiet whispers of intuition that grow louder over time. My own awakening began as a slow unraveling—a questioning of everything I had been taught about life, success, and purpose. I...

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. Mesme...
