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...

Have you ever felt like you’re meant for something more but aren’t quite sure what’s holding you back? Or perhaps you’ve noticed patterns in your life—cycles of struggle, breakthrough, and growth—that seem to repeat? The key to understanding and transcending these experiences lies in awareness.

Awareness is the foundation of transformation. It shapes how we perceive reality, make decisions, and manifest our desires. The Seven Levels of Awareness offer a roadmap for personal evolution, revealing how we move from a state of survival and fear to one of empowerment, purpose, and spiritual enlightenment.

As a Master Life Coach and Spiritual Coach, I’ve seen firsthand how shifting awareness can unlock deeper fulfillment, abundance, and freedom. Whether you’re seeking to break free from limitations, strengthen your intuition, or step into your highest potential, understanding these levels will help you navigate your journey with clarity and intention.

In this blog, we’ll explore each stage of awareness, how it impacts your thoughts and actions, and—most importantly—how you can consciously ascend to higher levels of consciousness. Because once you elevate your awareness, you elevate everything in your life.

Are you ready to awaken to your fullest potential? Let’s begin. 

Levels of Awareness: A Journey of Self-Discovery

The concept of "levels of awareness" is a cornerstone of many spiritual and personal development traditions. While there's no single, universally accepted list, it generally refers to stages of consciousness or self-understanding we may progress through. A common framework often outlines seven stages:

  1. Survival Consciousness:

    • Focus: Basic needs, physical safety, and immediate survival.
    • Characteristics: Driven by fear and instinct; limited awareness beyond the present moment.

  2. Relationship Consciousness:

    • Focus: Connection with others, belonging, and seeking acceptance.
    • Characteristics: Emphasis on social bonds; desire for approval; concern for how others perceive them.

  3. Self-Esteem Consciousness:

    • Focus: Personal achievements, recognition, and building self-worth.
    • Characteristics: Seeking validation from external sources; striving for success and status.

  4. Transformation Consciousness:

    • Focus: Introspection, self-discovery, and personal growth.
    • Characteristics: Questioning beliefs and values; seeking deeper meaning and purpose; a desire for change.

  5. Integration Consciousness:

    • Focus: Aligning actions with values, authenticity, and inner harmony.
    • Characteristics: Living with integrity; integrating different aspects of oneself; striving for balance.

  6. Universal Consciousness:

    • Focus: Expanding awareness beyond the self; empathy and compassion.
    • Characteristics: Deep connection to humanity and the world; a sense of oneness; a desire to make a positive impact.

  7. Enlightened Consciousness:

    • Focus: Spiritual awakening, transcendence, and a profound connection to the universe.
    • Characteristics: Inner peace, wisdom, and a sense of unity with all existence.

Important Considerations:

  • Not a Linear Progression: Individuals may not move through these levels in a strict, linear sequence. They may experience aspects of different levels at various times.
  • Fluidity and Overlap: The boundaries between levels can be fluid, and there can be overlap between them.
  • Personal Interpretation: The specific characteristics and interpretations of these levels may vary depending on the particular tradition or teacher.

Understanding these levels of awareness can be a valuable tool for self-reflection and personal growth. By recognizing where you are on the spectrum, you can gain insights into your motivations, values, and potential for further development.

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...
