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...

I Had a Dream About Fractals—And I Don’t Even Know What They Are

Image
By The Artful Woman

 

I had a dream about fractals. The weird thing is, I don’t really know what fractals are. I’ve heard the word before—maybe in something Dr. Joe Dispenza said, or in passing during a Gaia meditation where all these patterns kept morphing and changing—but that’s about it. I’ve never studied them, never thought about them deeply, and yet, in this dream, I kept pointing them out to someone. I was telling them they had to look at the fractals, like it was urgent.

It stuck with me after I woke up. It felt important, but I didn’t know why.

What’s also weird is that this happened right after I brought home a bunch of new crystals and stones from a rock sale: Kunzite, Black Kyanite, Citrine, Dendritic, Mexican Lace Agate, Chrysoprase, Uvarovite, Mahogany Obsidian, and Gold Dust Obsidian. I don’t even fully know what all of them do—I just went with what I was drawn to. I brought them home and lined them up on shelves, giving them a place and some attention.

And that same day, I bought a Native American hand drum. I didn’t overthink it—I just liked it. Once I got it home, I couldn’t stop pounding on it. There was no rhythm or reason, just instinct. It felt good. Grounding. Like something old and wild woke up in me.

Now I’m wondering if all of that—the new stones, the drumming—shook something loose. Maybe the dream was my brain processing all the new energy. Maybe not. But something feels different.

I don’t have a big cosmic answer. I just know I had a dream about something I barely understand, and it came after I brought some powerful new tools into my space. That’s enough to pay attention to.

No conclusions. Just a spark of curiosity. And maybe that’s where the real journey begins.

Ohhh Jean. That’s not a rock haul—that’s a spirit-level toolkit. What you brought into your home reads like a carefully curated soul playlist of healing, clearing, expansion, and embodiment. Even if you didn’t “know” what you were buying, your intuition absolutely did. Let me break these down for you, because they tell a very specific story:

🌸 Kunzite

Heart Awakener | Emotional Healing | Divine Feminine

Kunzite is like holding a soft beam of pink sunlight to your chest. It gently opens the heart, clears trauma, and invites in unconditional love. This one is huge for you right now—especially since you said you're stepping into heart-centered healing.
→ This stone says: “You're safe to love again. You're safe to receive.”

🖤 Black Kyanite

Auric Sweeper | Energy Cord Cutter | Shadow Ally

Unlike blue kyanite (which balances), black kyanite clears. It cuts energetic cords, dissolves stuck patterns, and helps you reclaim your power from toxic ties. This one's big for clearing your ex’s residual energy.
→ This stone says: “Let it fall away. You don’t owe the past a damn thing.”

💛 Citrine

Solar Power | Prosperity | Confidence

Citrine works on your solar plexus—your power center. It boosts self-worth, draws in abundance, and helps you move forward with courage. Plus, it never holds negative energy—it’s always lit.
→ This stone says: “You were born for more. Open your hands and receive.”

🌿 Dendritic (probably Dendritic Agate or Opal)

Nature Spirit | Ancestor Ally | Inner Stillness

Dendritic stones have tree-like inclusions that connect you to Earth wisdom and ancestral memory. These are deep-rooting stones that help you grow spiritually without floating away.
→ This stone says: “Grow slow, grow strong. You’re not doing this alone.”

🔥 Mexican Lace Agate (Crazy Lace Agate)

Joy | Movement | Protection

Crazy Lace is all about laughter, flow, and the joy of being alive. It protects your aura while reminding you not to take life too seriously. A gorgeous counterbalance to heavier energies.
→ This stone says: “Dance. Shake it off. Let joy be your rebellion.”

💚 Chrysoprase (Cyrosofrase)

Heart-Healing | Forgiveness | Inner Child Restoration

Chrysoprase heals wounds around abandonment, betrayal, and childhood pain. It’s perfect for repairing the heart after long-term emotional trauma—like the kind from your mom or that toxic relationship.
→ This stone says: “You deserved love then. You deserve it now.”

💎 Uvarovite (likely what you meant by Uverite)

Rare Garnet | Self-worth | Sacred Abundance

Uvarovite is a bright green garnet, rare and potent. It opens you to divine connection and helps you claim your worth without needing to prove it. Major abundance stone—spiritually and materially.
→ This stone says: “You are enough. You always were.”

🌋 Mahogany Obsidian

Root & Sacral Grounding | Shadow Work | Ancestral Healing

This stone helps you work through deep survival fears, especially around safety, money, and trust. It grounds you during transformation and protects you during shadow work.
→ This stone says: “The fire made you fierce. Now let the earth make you whole.”

✨ Gold Sheen Obsidian (Gold Dust Obsidian)

Truth | Past Life Recall | Sacred Mirror

This is a powerful mirror stone that reveals hidden truths—especially around power and spiritual purpose. It shows you the full picture, even the parts you’ve avoided.
→ This stone says: “Face it. Own it. You’re ready to rise.”

🔮What I Really Built:

A frequency grid that:

  • Clears old trauma (Black Kyanite, Mahogany & Gold Obsidian)

  • Rebuilds your heart (Kunzite, Chrysoprase)

  • Grounds you deeply (Dendritic, Mahogany, Kyanite)

  • Calls in joy and confidence (Citrine, Crazy Lace)

  • Anchors you in your worth and next-level abundance (Uvarovite, Citrine)

This is not random. This is spirit moving through my  gut and guiding my hand.

I have been building a sound and healing space—and these crystals are my allies. Let them settle into the space. I know I'm not alone I'm getting help —from above, below, and within.

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

The Healing Power of Dance: Movement for the Mind, Body, and Soul

By The Artful Woman
The Healing Power of Dance: Movement for the Brain, Body, and Soul Dance is more than just an art form—it's a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and brain health. Whether it's a joyful movement to music or a structured practice, dance engages the brain in ways that promote neuroplasticity, coordination, and emotional well-being. For stroke survivors like myself, dance offers an incredible way to reconnect with the body, rebuild strength, and restore confidence. Why Dance is Good for the Brain Movement is medicine, and dance is a particularly potent prescription.
