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 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.

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

By The Artful Woman
​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

By The Artful Woman
For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...
