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...

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 knew there had to be something more, something deeper than the surface-level existence that most people seemed to accept without question.

As I delved into spiritual teachings, I discovered universal truths that resonated at the core of my being. The Law of Attraction, the power of thought, energy healing, and meditation became more than just concepts; they became tools for transformation. Each practice opened new doors, revealing that the world operates not by chance but by intention and frequency.

The Shift in Perception

One of the biggest shifts I experienced was in how I viewed reality. I used to see the world as something happening to me, a series of external events that I had little control over. But as I deepened my understanding of energy and consciousness, I realized that reality was responding to me—my thoughts, my emotions, and my vibrational state.

This realization was both empowering and humbling. It meant that I was no longer a victim of circumstance but a creator of my own experience. However, it also meant that I had to take full responsibility for my thoughts, my actions, and the energy I put out into the world.

Embracing the Higher Mind

In my exploration, I began to see the connection between spirituality and the higher mind—the divine intelligence that exists beyond our conditioned thinking. This is where true wisdom resides, beyond the limitations of the ego and societal programming.

Tapping into the higher mind requires practice. It requires stillness, meditation, and a willingness to let go of the need to control. The more I surrendered, the more guidance I received—whether through intuition, synchronicities, or direct downloads of insight that seemed to come from nowhere.

Healing and Integration

Spiritual awakening is not just about gaining knowledge; it is also about healing. Old wounds, limiting beliefs, and emotional blockages must be addressed and released. This is where practices like Reiki, EFT tapping, and quantum energy clearing have been invaluable.

Healing is not always comfortable. In fact, it often requires revisiting past traumas and facing the shadow aspects of ourselves that we would rather ignore. But through this process, we become whole. We integrate all parts of ourselves, embracing the light and the dark, and step into our true power.

Moving Forward: The Path of Service

As my own journey continues to unfold, I feel a deep calling to help others on their paths. Whether through coaching, writing, or simply sharing my experiences, I know that my purpose is to be a guide for those who are awakening to their own divinity.

We are at a time of great transformation on this planet. More and more people are waking up to the truth of who they are and questioning the old paradigms that no longer serve them. It is an exciting, yet challenging, time to be alive. But with every challenge comes an opportunity—to rise, to expand, and to step fully into our power.

I invite you to join me on this journey. To question, to explore, and to embrace the divine within you. Because when you do, you will realize that everything you have been searching for has been within you all along.

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.
