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...

Thoughts, Energy, and the Path to a Fulfilling Life

Image
By The Artful Woman


Written by Master Spiritual Coach, Jean Marshall

At almost 60, I've realized that life is a continuous journey of learning and growth. I've been exploring various paths like psychic development, energy healing, and the power of mindset, and it's all starting to connect. It seems the core principle is this: our thoughts are energy, and they shape our reality. Whether we realize it or not, we're constantly attracting things into our lives, both wanted and unwanted, based on where we focus our mental energy. This realization has inspired me to share my journey and insights with others who are also seeking to unlock their full potential.

The Power of Thought and Energy

The fundamental concept that resonates throughout my studies is the connection between thought and energy. Our thoughts are not just fleeting mental events; they have a vibrational frequency that influences the energy around us. When we dwell on negative thoughts, we attract negative experiences. Conversely, cultivating positive thoughts and affirmations can attract positive outcomes. It's not just wishful thinking; it's about aligning our energy with the things we desire.

This is especially important when it comes to attracting abundance, whether it's financial, relational, or spiritual. Constantly worrying about lack only reinforces that lack. Instead, we need to consistently affirm what we do want, visualizing it and feeling the emotions associated with having it. This is where the power of positive affirmations comes in. Repetition is key, but it's not just about reciting words; it's about embodying the feeling of already having what you desire.

Exploring Psychic Abilities

My exploration of psychic abilities has been incredibly exciting. I've been delving into a great book I found on the subject and am committed to practicing regularly. I believe everyone has intuitive gifts waiting to be nurtured. It's about learning to tune into the subtle energies around us and trust our inner knowing.

Energy Healing and Reiki

I am a Reiki Master. Learning to heal and clear negative energies feels like a crucial missing piece. I believe many of us carry energetic blocks that prevent us from living our best lives. Reiki not only can heal myself but also help others release these blockages and step into their full potential. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of clearing negative energies that might be attracting negative people and experiences into my life. I'm ready for healthy, fulfilling relationships!

Meditation and the Spiritual Connection

Meditation has become an essential part of my practice. It's more than just relaxation; it's a way to connect with my inner self, the spiritual world, or whatever you choose to call it. It's a space where I can receive guidance, insights, and inspiration. I'm still exploring the nuances of meditation and its connection to psychic abilities. Perhaps meditation facilitates communication with spirit guides or the cosmos, while psychic abilities are more about directly perceiving information beyond the physical senses. I believe they are interconnected and enhance each other.

The Journey Ahead

With at least two decades ahead of me, I'm excited to continue this journey of self-discovery. I'm pursuing a PhD in Metaphysical Science to deepen my understanding of these concepts. My goal is to live a life filled with purpose, joy, and meaningful connections. I want to help others navigate their own challenges and realize their dreams.

Conclusion

The journey to self-discovery is a lifelong process. It's about understanding the power of our thoughts, harnessing our energy, and connecting with our spiritual selves. By cultivating a positive mindset, developing our intuitive gifts, and learning to heal ourselves and others, we can create a life that is truly fulfilling. It's never too late to start living the life you were meant to live.

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.
