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...

Unlocking Abundance: A Guide to Using the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards Without a Guidebook

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


When I first purchased the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue and Grant Virtue, I was eager to explore the insights they promised. However, I quickly discovered that the guidebook was missing—a common issue, as this deck has been out of print since 2016 and is now considered a collector's item . Undeterred, I embarked on a journey to understand and connect with these cards, developing my own method of interpretation. If you've found yourself in a similar situation, this guide is for you.​

Creating a Sacred Space

Begin by setting the mood for your reading. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Light a candle, burn some incense, or play soft, calming music to enhance the atmosphere. This sacred space will help you attune to the energies of the cards and your own intuition.​

Cleansing and Consecrating the Cards

Before your first reading, it's essential to cleanse the cards of any residual energies. You can do this by holding the deck in your hands and visualizing a bright white light enveloping them, or by smudging them with sage or palo santo. Once cleansed, consecrate the cards by holding them to your heart and setting your intention, asking for guidance and clarity in your readings 

Connecting with the Cards

  1. Set Your Intention: Clearly state what you seek guidance on, whether it's a specific question or general insight into your path to abundance.​

  2. Shuffle the Deck: As you shuffle, focus on your intention. You may also say a prayer or affirmation, such as, "May these cards provide clarity and guidance for my highest good."​

  3. Draw a Card: Once you feel ready, draw a card from the deck. Pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, or images that arise as you do so.​

Interpreting the Cards Without a Guidebook

Each card in the Angels of Abundance deck features a message and imagery designed to inspire and guide. Here's how to interpret them:​

  • Read the Message: Reflect on the words printed on the card. How do they relate to your current situation or question?​

  • Observe the Imagery: Take note of the colors, symbols, and figures depicted. What emotions or thoughts do they evoke?​

  • Trust Your Intuition: Your inner guidance is a powerful tool. Allow your feelings and impressions to inform your understanding of the card's message.​

Remember, there's no right or wrong interpretation. The key is to connect with the cards in a way that resonates with you.​

Integrating the Guidance

After interpreting the card, consider how its message applies to your life. What actions can you take to align with this guidance? You might choose to journal your insights, meditate on the message, or set intentions based on the card's theme.​

Final Thoughts

While the absence of a guidebook can be challenging, it also offers an opportunity to deepen your intuitive connection with the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards. By creating a sacred space, setting clear intentions, and trusting your inner wisdom, you can unlock the profound guidance these cards have to offer.​

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

By The Artful Woman
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.

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

By The Artful Woman
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...
