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...

Ocean Rescue: A Split-Second Miracle

Image
By The Artful Woman

 The beach was my usual hangout that day. I sat on a rock, watching the waves roll in, feeling pretty good about myself. A particularly strong set of waves surged forward, and one wave, bigger than the others, slammed into me. Knocked off the rock, I was thrown into the churning water. Disoriented, I fought to stay afloat, the riptide's relentless pull dragging me further in.

Then, I saw her. A small figure caught in the current too – a girl, maybe ten years old.

In that split second, something extraordinary happened. It was a surge of strength I never knew I possessed, a superhuman power that propelled over to her.  

Reaching the girl, I grabbed her and clung to a nearby boulder. Waves crashed over us, a relentless assault. But with this newfound strength, I held on, protecting her and myself until the waves finally subsided.

Later, looking at my hands, I realized the extent of that strength. The rocks were embedded in my fingers, a testament to the raw power that had taken over. My friend, who had witnessed the whole ordeal, approached me in disbelief. "Did that really just happen?" he asked, echoing my own thoughts.

One moment I was struggling against the current, the next, I was saving a life. There's only one explanation for that surge of strength – a divine intervention, a miracle that unfolded in the blink of an eye.

From Survival to Transformation: Using Mind, Spirit, and Energy to Empower Others

By The Artful Woman
 I've been on a transformative journey of higher learning and spirituality, one that is deeply enlightening for both my mind and my soul. This experience has been profound, as the more I seek knowledge, the more it seems to find me. It's as if the saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear," is unfolding in my life. The vastness of what is available to learn and explore excites me, and it's all starting to connect and make sense. I’ve delved into techniques such as tapping into psychic abilities, hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, the Law of Attraction, EFT tapping, and mindset work. My life experiences have already taught me that when we set intentions and put things in motion, the wheels begin to turn, and doors open. In my quest for enlightenment, I’ve also studied the Three Divine Principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, gaining a deeper understanding of how these elements shape our reality and spiritual experience. In many ways, ...

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...

Hitting the Wall: When Your Energy Says “Enough”

By The Artful Woman
  After my stroke, I reached a point where I was physically and emotionally exhausted in a way that nothing else could explain. I was carrying dense, heavy energy — layers and layers of unresolved trauma, fear, guilt, and stagnant emotion that had accumulated over decades. At almost 60 years old, that energy wasn’t just psychological—it was in my body, in my biofield, in my meridians . And that energy overload wasn’t just tiring—it was blocking me from moving forward, healing, or even resting properly. But here’s the catch: most people never learn how to clear that stuff, how to gently release it without retraumatizing themselves, or how to restore balance when everything feels stuck. That’s the invisible trap. If you don’t clear it, it builds. It thickens. And eventually, it can stop you in your tracks. Why This Matters in the Healing Journey It’s a real experience—one that many people don’t talk about because it’s invisible and confusing. It’s a sign that healing is...

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

By The Artful Woman
​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...
