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...

Dear Spiritual Gurus: I Don’t Have Time to Float in Space. I Have Shit to Do.


Let’s just get one thing straight: I’m not lazy, undisciplined, or spiritually blocked. I’m busy. I’m living real life. And while you might be out there meditating for two hours in a vortex of blissful stillness, I’ve got heat to beat, animals to feed, a business to run, and a soul that is tired of being told she’s not trying hard enough.

Here’s the truth: I tried. I bought the meditations. I followed the formulas. I did the four-week programs, the six-week programs, the breathwork, the body scans, and the inner journeys. I listened to Dr. Joe Dispenza tell me to feel my body parts in space for what felt like forever. And guess what?

I didn’t find my quantum breakthrough. I found myself pissed off and frustrated, sitting there thinking about my to-do list, the weather, and all the things I could be doing instead of floating in cosmic limbo hoping to manifest a miracle.

I’m Done Trying to Be a Perfect Student

Somewhere along the way, this work stopped feeling like transformation and started feeling like performance. Like if I didn’t do it exactly right — for the full time, every single day, in total stillness, with complete emotional presence — then it wouldn’t work.

And if it didn’t work? It was my fault. I was told I must not be "in alignment." That I was "too much in effort." That I hadn't "trusted the universe enough."

No. I trusted. I tried. And now I’m tired.

Give Me Grounding, Not Guilt

Here’s what actually works for me:

  • Grounding meditations that take 10-15 minutes.

  • Sacred geometry practices like activating the torus field.

  • Breathwork that doesn’t require me to rearrange my whole morning.

  • Practices that respect the fact that I have shit to do and a life to live.

I don’t need another spiritual homework assignment. I need tools that fit inside my life, not ones that ask me to put life on hold while I ascend into an astral waiting room.

You Can Keep Your Quantum Field. I’ll Keep My Sanity.

If the only way to change my life is to spend 30 minutes a day feeling into the edges of my nostrils in space, then honestly, that’s not a path built for humans who live in the real world.

There has to be another way. A way that honors spiritual growth and daily reality. A way that meets people where they are instead of asking them to float above their problems and pretend they don’t exist.

So no, I’m not broken. I’m just done trying to contort myself into a method that doesn’t match my soul. You can keep your cosmic body scans.

I’ll be over here building a grounded, powerful, embodied life. With dirt under my nails, intuition in my gut, and sacred geometry in my back pocket.

Beam me up, sure. But don’t leave me in space.

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

In our journey through life, we often encounter invisible barriers—limiting beliefs that subtly dictate our actions, decisions, and perceptions.

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...
