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...

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

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.

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.
