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...

The Manifesting Mind: A Guide to Mastering Your Thoughts and Creating Your Reality

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


By cultivating a positive mindset, practicing mindfulness and meditation, and trusting your intuition, you can create a more fulfilling and aligned life.

1. Mindset:

Foundation: Your mindset is the fundamental set of beliefs and assumptions you hold about yourself, the world, and your capabilities.

A growth mindset encourages continuous learning and personal development. 

Examples:

Growth Mindset: Believes abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. This mindset fosters resilience, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and a focus on continuous improvement.

Fixed Mindset: Believes abilities and intelligence are innate and unchangeable. This mindset can limit growth, increase fear of failure, and hinder personal development.

Impact: Your mindset significantly influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. A growth mindset empowers you to embrace challenges, pursue goals with determination, and persevere through setbacks.


2. Law of Attraction:

Core Belief: This principle suggests that like attracts like – your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs attract corresponding experiences into your life.

The importance of taking inspired action alongside visualization and affirmations. 

Key Concepts:

Focus on Positivity: Cultivating positive thoughts, emotions, and vibrations.

Visualization: Imagining and visualizing desired outcomes as if they have already been achieved.

Gratitude: Expressing appreciation for the good things in your life.

Intention Setting: Clearly defining your goals and desires.

Note: The Law of Attraction is a philosophical concept and its effectiveness is a matter of personal belief.


3. Meditation

Practice: Training the mind to focus on a single point, such as the breath or a mantra, to achieve a state of mental clarity and emotional calmness.

Benefits:

Reduces stress and anxiety.

Improves focus and concentration.

Increases self-awareness.

Cultivates emotional regulation.

Can enhance intuition and creativity.


4. Positive Thinking

Focus: Cultivating optimistic thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the world.

Key Aspects:

Challenging negative thoughts and reframing them in a more positive light.

Focusing on solutions and possibilities instead of dwelling on problems.

Practicing gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life.

Benefits:

Can improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.


5. Intuition

Inner Knowing: A subtle sense or feeling that provides guidance without conscious reasoning. It's an inner voice or gut feeling.

Developing Intuition:

Mindfulness practices can help quiet the mind and create space for intuitive insights to emerge.

Spending time in nature, journaling, and engaging in creative activities can also enhance intuition.

Developing intuition often involves quieting the mind, observing your inner sensations, and trusting your gut feelings. 

Trusting your inner voice and paying attention to your gut feelings.


6. Mindfulness

Present Moment Awareness: The practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment.

Benefits:

Reduces stress and anxiety.

Increases self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Improves focus and concentration.

Cultivates a deeper appreciation for the present moment.


7. Manifesting

The process: Bringing your desires into reality through the power of thought, belief, and intention. It's a key component of the Law of Attraction. 

Manifestation Techniques: 

Visualization: Vividly imagining your desires as if they have already been achieved.

Affirmations: Repeating positive statements about yourself and your goals.

Gratitude: Expressing appreciation for the good things in your life.

Taking Inspired Action: Taking steps toward your goals while maintaining a positive and receptive mindset.

Important Note:

Manifestation is a journey, not a destination.

It requires consistent effort, patience, and a willingness to trust the process.

It's important to remember that while you can influence your reality, external factors and unforeseen circumstances can also play a role.


Interconnections:

Mindset: A growth mindset is crucial for effectively utilizing the Law of Attraction and trusting your intuition.

Meditation: Can help quiet the mind, allowing for clearer intuition and deeper connection to inner wisdom.

Positive Thinking: Cultivating positive thoughts aligns with the Law of Attraction and can enhance your ability to receive and trust intuitive guidance.

Intuition: Can provide valuable insights that can inform your goals and intentions, aligning your actions with the Law of Attraction.

Mindfulness: Brings awareness to your current thoughts and feelings, allowing you to observe them without judgment and make conscious choices that align with your values and intentions.

Important Note:

While positive thinking and mindfulness can have significant benefits, it's crucial to remember that these are not guarantees of success or happiness.

It's important to be kind to yourself and acknowledge that negative thoughts and emotions are a natural part of the human experience.

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...
