A 3-Step Daily Reset for Safety, Fear Rewiring & Emotional Healing After Trauma

By The Artful Woman
After surviving a stroke and a catastrophic accident, I’ve had to rebuild not just my body—but my nervous system, my thoughts, and my sense of safety in the world. At the very least, I dedicate 10 minutes each morning to anchoring my body in safety. From there, I’ve developed a simple 3-step daily reset that helps me move through fear, regulate my thoughts, and gently rewire how I relate to uncertainty, pain, and hope. This is not about perfection. It’s about returning to yourself, over and over again, especially after trauma. 1. Morning Safety Anchor (2 minutes) I place my hand on my heart and breathe: inhale for 4, hold for 2, exhale for 6. I say: “In this moment, I am safe.” This helps ground my nervous system and even supports calming phantom pain when it shows up. 2. Midday Thought Flip (30 seconds at a time) When fear starts to spiral into “what if” scenarios, I pause. Instead of feeding the fear, I answer it gently: “And if it happens, I’ll handle it. What if it goes right inst...

Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows: A Powerful Tool in the Law of Attraction

By The Artful Woman


By Jean Marshall, Master Law of Attraction Coach

One of the most profound truths in both spiritual and personal growth circles is the idea that "Where focus goes, energy flows." But where did this phrase come from? While it's not attributed to a single originator, it’s a concept deeply rooted in spiritual traditions, the New Thought movement, and the modern-day Law of Attraction philosophy.

The phrase expresses the core idea that what you direct your attention and intention toward is what will manifest in your life. Your thoughts, feelings, and focus shape the energy you radiate—and in turn, they influence the reality you experience.

This idea is not new. It draws from various sources:

  1. The New Thought Movement: This early 20th-century spiritual movement emphasized the power of the mind and positive thinking. It taught that what we focus on can create our reality, aligning perfectly with the phrase "Where focus goes, energy flows."

  2. The Law of Attraction: More recent adaptations of the idea are found in the Law of Attraction, which tells us that like attracts like. Positive energy and thoughts bring about positive outcomes, while focusing on negative things attracts more of the same.

  3. Spiritual and Esoteric Teachings: From ancient philosophies to modern-day practices, many teachings have highlighted the power of intention and attention. They have long known that energy follows focus and that this can be harnessed for personal transformation.

How Does This Relate to the Law of Attraction?

In the Law of Attraction, the principle "Where focus goes, energy flows" is foundational. To manifest the things you desire, you must first give your energy to them. This doesn’t just mean thinking about them—it's about feeling as though you already have them.

Here are a few steps to apply the Law of Attraction in alignment with this powerful concept:

  1. Be Specific: Know what you want to attract into your life. The more detailed your focus, the clearer the energy becomes.

  2. Believe It’s Possible: Your belief system is integral. Trust in the possibility of what you’re attracting, and focus your energy on that outcome.

  3. Act Towards Your Goal: Though focus is essential, the Law of Attraction also calls for inspired action. Take steps toward your desired reality.

  4. Let Go of Negative Thoughts: Negative energy can block manifestation. Focus on positivity and stay open to the flow of energy around you.

  5. Surround Yourself with Positivity: The environments and people around you can impact your energy. Surround yourself with those who uplift and encourage your focus.

Conclusion

The concept of "Where focus goes, energy flows" is a simple but transformative principle in the Law of Attraction. By directing your focus and energy toward what you want—rather than what you don’t—you can start to see your dreams come to life. The universe responds to the energy you radiate, so make sure you’re radiating the energy of what you want to attract.

It’s time for me to start telling my story.

By The Artful Woman
 It’s time for me to start telling my story. For a long time, I stayed quiet outside of a very small circle of close friends. I shared only enough to stay connected, but not enough to be fully seen. That wasn’t avoidance—it was protection. After my accident, my nervous system and my energy field simply could not take in more input from the outside world. As an empath, I had to retreat in order to survive and heal. But as my strength slowly returns, I feel that silence shifting. I was in a tragic accident on Ortega Highway that changed the entire course of my life. In an instant, everything I knew about my body, my independence, and my future was disrupted. Since then, I’ve been forced into a long and ongoing process of rebuilding—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And I’m still in it. Even the simplest things that most people take for granted have become daily challenges. Basic mobility. Using the restroom safely and in time. Navigating transfers ...

Why I’m Still Here

By The Artful Woman
  Why I’m Still Here By Jean Marshall I’ve asked myself the question more times than I can count: Why am I still here? After a stroke that changed my life five years ago, I thought I had already learned resilience. I thought I had already been tested. But then came the accident — a beautiful September morning that shattered my body, altered my future, and once again forced me to start over from the ground up. There are days I still can’t fully understand it. One man’s poor decision, one wrong moment, and everything changed. My bones broke. My leg was lost. My body shut down. My life — the one I’d built with so much effort — came to a stop. But somehow, my heart didn’t. They tell me it took over twenty doctors and nurses to keep me alive that day. I was in an induced coma, held together by machines, prayers, and the hands of strangers. There were moments I thought I was dying — I even said my last prayers. But each time I surrendered, something unseen pulled me back. Something...

Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident

By The Artful Woman
  Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident On September 6th, my life changed in an instant when a driver crossed into my lane on Ortega Highway and hit me head-on. My car was thrown into the air and I nearly lost my life. My vehicle was completely totaled. I spent four months in the hospital. The first part was in a trauma unit where I was placed in an induced coma and underwent multiple life-saving surgeries. I was then transferred to an acute care facility where I required critical support, including IVs, a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, and dialysis. My injuries included: Loss of my right leg Six broken ribs and two vertebrae Broken pelvis, right arm, and wrist Multiple fractures in my left leg Kidney and heart failure from trauma Many of my injuries required surgical repair with metal hardware that I am still healing from After returning home, my focus has been recovery. I’ve faced infections, complications, and delayed healing that hav...

What Surviving Twice Taught Me About Purpose—And What It Didn’t

By The Artful Woman
  Questioning the idea that survival comes with a purpose to fulfill I’ve survived two life-altering events, and what I’ve learned about purpose isn’t what people expect. They say, “God kept your alive for a reason,” or “God still has a purpose for you.” And I need to be honest about how that lands for me. It doesn’t feel comforting. It feels like pressure. Like surviving something traumatic automatically comes with an assignment—something I’m supposed to figure out later, some hidden meaning I’m expected to uncover. And in my case, this hasn’t been said just once. It’s been said twice. Once after my stroke in 2020. And now again after a near-death accident on September 6th 2025 that changed my life forever. So it starts to create a pattern I can’t ignore—that my survival is always being tied to some purpose I haven’t “fulfilled” yet. And that raises a real question for me: Why does it sound like I have to go through something catastrophic in order for my life to be cons...
