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.

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...
