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...

Breaking Free From Comparison: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment

 



Do you ever find yourself watching others, perhaps those you deem less capable, enjoying greater success or material possessions, and wonder... 'Why not me?

The sting of comparison. The weight of feeling overlooked. The frustration of watching others attain what seems so out of reach. It's a familiar ache, a question that lingers: 'Why not me?' In this post, we'll explore the roots of this feeling and, more importantly, how to transform it into a catalyst for your own growth and fulfillment.

  • Perceived Unfairness:

  • A sense that life is not just or equitable.

  • A feeling that rewards are not distributed based on merit.

  • Comparison and Envy:

  • A tendency to compare your own circumstances to those of others.

  • Feelings of envy or resentment towards those who seem to have more.

  • Questioning Your Own Worth:

  • A sense of questioning your own value or deservingness.

  • A feeling that you are being overlooked or undervalued.

  • Frustration with the System:

  • A feeling that the world is not fair, and that there are other factors besides intelligence that contribute to success.

  • A feeling of lack of control:

  • A sense that your own hard work is not paying off.

It's important to acknowledge that these feelings are valid. However, dwelling on them can be detrimental to your own well-being. Here are some things to consider:

  • Redefining "Success":

  • Consider that "success" is subjective and multifaceted. Material possessions are only one aspect.

  • Focus on your own values and what truly matters to you.

  • Focusing on Your Own Path:

  • Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own growth and progress.

  • Set goals for yourself and celebrate your own achievements.

  • Practicing Gratitude:

  • Cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the good things in your life.

  • This can shift your focus from what you lack to what you have.

  • Understanding External Factors:

  • Recognize that factors beyond intelligence, such as privilege, connections, and luck, can play a significant role in people's lives.

  • Recognize that you do not see the whole picture of other peoples lives.

  • Controlling What You Can:

  • Focus on the things that you can control, your actions, your reactions, and your mindset. 

It is valid to have those feelings, but it is important to not let them control your life.

Breaking Free: How Clearing Limiting Beliefs Transformed My Life and Can Transform Yours

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. Mesme...

The Power of the Vagus Nerve: Unlocking Your Body’s Natural Healing Potential

The vagus nerve is one of the most remarkable and powerful parts of our nervous system, but it's often overlooked. As the primary player in the parasympathetic nervous system, it helps regulate key bodily functions such as digestion, heart rate, and mood. What’s even more fascinating is how stimulating this nerve can enhance your health and well-being in profound ways. Having recently earned my certification as a Master Life Coach in Mindset, I found that understanding the vagus nerve is essential to achieving greater balance, healing, and resilience. In this blog, I’ll walk you through the core functions of the vagus nerve, why it’s so critical to your health, and how you can activate it to improve both your physical and emotional well-being. Core Function of the Vagus Nerve The vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve X, is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system. This system governs the “rest and digest” response, which is essentially the opposite of the “fight o...
