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...

Time and Money as Energy: Understanding Their Characteristics and Flow

Image
By The Artful Woman

Time and money are often viewed as separate entities, but when we consider them as forms of energy, we gain a new perspective on how they function, flow, and impact our lives. By understanding their energetic properties, we can make more conscious choices that align with abundance, productivity, and fulfillment.

The Three Characteristics of Time and Money as Energy

1. Conservation: The Principle of Value Retention

In physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. This principle applies to time and money as well:

  • Time: While time continuously moves forward, how we use it determines the value it creates. We cannot save time, but we can invest it wisely to generate meaningful experiences, knowledge, and success.

  • Money: Money is a representation of value. While its form may change (physical cash to digital currency, for example), the underlying worth is conserved and can be strategically utilized to generate more value.

The key takeaway? Both time and money require mindful investment to maximize their impact. Wasting time or mismanaging money leads to a depletion of potential energy that could otherwise be transformed into growth and abundance.

2. Transformation: Turning Resources into Value

In physics, energy transforms from one state to another—kinetic energy becomes heat, electrical energy becomes light. Time and money also undergo transformations:

  • Time: The hours we spend working, learning, or practicing a skill transform into expertise, financial earnings, or personal fulfillment.

  • Money: Money is not just a static asset; it can be transformed into investments, experiences, or material possessions. When used wisely, it can multiply and generate greater opportunities.

Understanding transformation allows us to direct energy with purpose, ensuring that both time and money work for us instead of being passively spent.

3. Flow: The Constant Movement of Energy

Energy naturally moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration. Similarly, time and money are always in motion:

  • Time: Time continuously flows forward, and we must choose how to navigate its course. Being intentional with time ensures that it is directed toward meaningful pursuits rather than wasted on distractions.

  • Money: Money circulates through economies, businesses, and personal finances. When it is kept stagnant (hoarded without purpose), it loses its potential to create growth. However, when money flows with intention and strategy, it leads to prosperity.

A scarcity mindset can block this flow, causing fear-based hoarding or hesitation. An abundance mindset, however, encourages a healthy cycle of earning, investing, and giving.

Attraction and Speed: The Dynamics of Energy, Time, and Money

Beyond conservation, transformation, and flow, two additional principles shape how time and money behave: attraction and speed.

Attraction: Drawing More of What We Focus On

In physics, forces like gravity and magnetism pull objects toward one another. Similarly, our focus and energy attract experiences and opportunities related to time and money:

  • Time: The way we invest our time attracts corresponding outcomes. If we spend time learning a skill, we attract opportunities that require that skill. If we dedicate time to networking, we attract professional connections.

  • Money: The Law of Attraction suggests that cultivating an abundance mindset can draw more wealth into our lives. However, attraction alone isn’t enough—aligned action is necessary to turn financial potential into tangible results.

Speed: The Rate at Which Energy Moves

In physics, speed measures how quickly something moves over a given distance. Speed also influences the movement of time and money:

  • Time: While time flows at a constant rate, our perception of time changes depending on our level of focus and engagement. When we're fully immersed in meaningful work, time feels accelerated; when we're disengaged, it drags.

  • Money: The velocity of money—the rate at which it circulates in an economy—determines financial growth. On a personal level, how quickly we earn, spend, or invest money affects our financial momentum. Rapid and well-informed financial decisions often lead to greater wealth creation.

Key Takeaways for a Conscious Approach to Time and Money

By viewing time and money as energy, we can shift our mindset and habits to optimize their flow:

  • Invest wisely: Treat both time and money as valuable resources to be allocated with purpose.

  • Embrace transformation: Recognize that both can be turned into meaningful results when used effectively.

  • Encourage flow: Avoid stagnation by ensuring that your time and money are moving in ways that support growth.

  • Leverage attraction: Focus on abundance and take aligned actions to draw opportunities toward you.

  • Understand speed: Use momentum to your advantage by making timely decisions and staying engaged with your goals.

By adopting an energy-based perspective, we become more empowered in managing time and money, allowing them to serve us rather than control us. When we align our thoughts, actions, and resources with intentionality, we unlock the full potential of these powerful forces in our lives.

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.
