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...

The 5 Hidden Blocks Keeping You Stuck (And How to Finally Break Free)

By The Artful Woman

 


Does This Sound Familiar?

You’ve tried everything—every treatment, every method, every mindset shift—but the pain, the exhaustion, and the feeling of being stuck just won’t go away. Maybe it’s a chronic illness that lingers no matter what you do, or a deep sense that you’re meant for something greater but can’t seem to reach it. Perhaps you feel disconnected from your purpose, uncertain about your next steps, and weighed down by fatigue even when you get enough rest. Your mind plays on a loop of negative self-talk, keeping you stuck in a cycle of doubt and unworthiness. Old heartbreaks, betrayals, and grief still feel raw, as if no time has passed. Your body struggles to heal, whether from recurring injuries or sickness that lingers longer than it should. You find yourself overthinking, trapped in analysis paralysis, unable to take real action. And no matter how much you try to release the past, the wounds remain, making true forgiveness feel just out of reach.

If any of this resonates, you're not alone.

But here’s the truth: You may be unconsciously blocking your own healing and success.

If you feel like you can’t break past a certain level in health, happiness, prosperity, or personal growth—like something always knocks you back down—it’s not just bad luck. There are invisible forces at work, deep-seated energetic, emotional, and subconscious patterns that keep you stuck.

Let’s explore the five most common blocks and how to release them.

The 5 Most Common Blocks (and How to Break Through Them)

1. Subconscious Patterns & Negative Self-Talk

Your subconscious mind is incredibly powerful—it runs most of your daily behaviors, thoughts, and emotional responses without you even realizing it. If you have limiting beliefs like:

  • “I’m not worthy.”

  • “Success isn’t for me.”

  • “I always struggle.”

…then your subconscious will find ways to make those beliefs your reality.

Ways to Unblock:

✅ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Challenge and rewire negative thought patterns.
✅ Affirmations & Visualization – Reprogram your subconscious with empowering beliefs.
✅ Mindfulness Meditation – Observe and shift your thoughts without judgment.
✅ Hypnotherapy – Access and rewrite deep-seated subconscious beliefs.
✅ Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Techniques – Train your brain to create new neural pathways for success.

2. Emotional Wounds & Unresolved Trauma

Past heartbreak, betrayal, grief, or trauma can leave emotional imprints that hold you back from fully healing and moving forward. If emotions from years ago still trigger you, they may be stuck in your body and energy field.

Ways to Unblock:

✅ Therapy (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS) – Heal trauma stored in the nervous system.
✅ Inner Child Work – Nurture and heal the wounded parts of yourself.
✅ Journaling & Emotional Release – Express and process stored emotions.
✅ Forgiveness Practices – Let go of resentment to free your energy.

3. Energetic Imbalances

Your physical, emotional, and mental states are all connected through your energy system. If your energy is blocked or unbalanced, it can manifest as chronic pain, illness, exhaustion, or emotional instability.

Ways to Unblock:

✅ Reiki, Qi Gong, Acupuncture – Restore balance to your energy field.
✅ Grounding Techniques – Walk barefoot, connect with nature, and absorb the Earth’s energy.
✅ Crystal Healing – Use specific crystals to clear and harmonize energy.
✅ Sound Healing – Listen to frequencies and vibrations that promote healing.

4. Disconnection from Purpose & Lack of Clarity

Feeling lost, unfulfilled, or uncertain about your next step is a sign of being disconnected from your soul’s purpose. When you’re in alignment, life flows effortlessly—but when you’re out of sync, everything feels difficult.

Ways to Unblock:

✅ Life Coaching – Get guidance on aligning with your true calling.
✅ Meditation & Introspection – Tune into your inner wisdom.
✅ Journaling & Self-Reflection – Gain clarity on your purpose.
✅ Spending Time in Nature – Deepen your connection with yourself and your path.

5. Resistance to Healing & Self-Sabotage

Sometimes, even when we want healing or success, we unconsciously resist it. Why? Because change is scary. The unknown can feel unsafe. Or maybe, deep down, you believe you don’t deserve it.

Ways to Unblock:

✅ Identify & Address Fears – Explore what’s keeping you from moving forward.
✅ Build Self-Compassion – Speak to yourself with kindness and patience.
✅ Create a Supportive Environment – Surround yourself with people who uplift you.
✅ Work with a Coach or Therapist – Get expert guidance to help you move through resistance.

How These Blocks Manifest in Your Life

🔹 Physically – Chronic pain, illness, slow healing, fatigue.
🔹 Mentally – Overthinking, negative self-talk, analysis paralysis.
🔹 Emotionally – Lingering grief, unresolved trauma, feelings of unworthiness.
🔹 Spiritually – Disconnection from purpose, feeling lost, lack of clarity.

The Key to Healing & Transformation

Healing isn’t just about one method—it’s about integration. Your mind, body, and energy all work together. That’s why the most effective approach is one that addresses all aspects of your well-being.

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...

Unworthy to Wealthy: My Money Mindset Shift

By The Artful Woman
  Unworthy to Wealthy: My Money Mindset Shift  I created this course on money mindset because I grew up with a deeply ingrained scarcity mindset. From a young age, I was exposed to conflicting messages about money that shaped my beliefs for years. Raised Catholic and later converting to Christianity, certain religious teachings, especially the idea that “money is the root of all evil,” created a sense of guilt around wealth. I internalized the belief that desiring or accumulating money was wrong or selfish, adding layers of shame to my relationship with money. But it wasn’t just religious beliefs that influenced me—it was also my family environment. My mother, a single mom raising four kids, was extremely tight with money. Every penny was carefully managed, and the constant focus was on survival rather than abundance. I can still remember being punished for something as small as using a paper towel before it was completely soiled. Food was scarce, and if I ate something my mom...
