So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

  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.

The Reticular Activating System: Your Brain’s Gatekeeper and Its Role in Stress and Anxiety

Have you ever noticed how once you start thinking about buying a certain car, you suddenly see it everywhere? Or how a single negative thought can spiral into a whole cascade of worries? That’s your Reticular Activating System (RAS) at work. The RAS is a powerful network of neurons in the brainstem responsible for filtering sensory information, regulating alertness, and influencing our focus. But beyond helping us pay attention, it also plays a key role in stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation. Understanding how it works can help us manage our thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS)? The RAS is essentially your brain’s filter. Every second, your senses take in massive amounts of information, but your brain can only process a fraction of it. The RAS determines which stimuli are important and which can be ignored. It keeps you alert when necessary and helps transition between wakefulness and sleep. Here are its key functions: Regulati...

Awakening to the Divine Within: Journey of Spiritual Transformation

  Awakening to the Divine Within: Journey of Spiritual Transformation For most of my life, I have been on a quest for understanding—of the world, of myself, and of the unseen forces that shape our existence. This journey has taken me through various teachings, practices, and experiences, each one peeling back another layer of the illusion I once thought was reality. One of the most profound realizations I’ve had is that we are more than just physical beings navigating this earthly realm. We are, in essence, spiritual beings having a human experience. But what does that truly mean? And how do we awaken to this deeper truth? The Call to Awakening Awakening is not a single event but a series of moments that shake us from our slumber. It may come through suffering, through loss, through love, or even in the quiet whispers of intuition that grow louder over time. My own awakening began as a slow unraveling—a questioning of everything I had been taught about life, success, and purpose. I...

Mesmerism vs. The Emotion Code: A Look at the Use of Magnets in Energy Healing

During my training to become a hypnotherapist, I learned about Franz Anton Mesmer and his intriguing use of magnets in healing. Mesmer believed in a concept called "animal magnetism," a vital energy force he thought could be manipulated to restore balance in the body. His methods, though controversial, were an early exploration of the mind-body connection and the power of suggestion. Fast forward to today, and magnets are still being used in energy healing practices—most notably in The Emotion Code, a modern modality that claims to identify and release trapped emotions through muscle testing and magnetic energy. But how do these two approaches compare? While they both involve magnets, the philosophies behind them and their applications are vastly different. In this blog, I’ll explore the historical use of magnets in Mesmerism and contrast it with how magnets are used in The Emotion Code, shedding light on their similarities, differences, and what we can learn from both.
