Love Letters | Make Room – Part 1 of 4

Posted on December 3, 2018March 4, 2019 by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

We are beginning a series of the love letters called Making Room.

It is time to make room for yourself. As always in a new series, we discuss the “Why” first: and today, we’re talking about why we are making room for you. Then in the following weeks, we're going to be covering making room for yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and then finally spiritually.

Why it's time to make room for you is because you have been asking Spirit for your next level, asking for that next vision, and an increase. Perhaps you have been praying for your territory to be enlarged, maybe in life or in business. Maybe you've been asking for more clients, more love and romance, more health, more play and enjoyment, but in order to receive what you are asking for, I would challenge you to ask a little bit bigger. If you have a goal card, for example, that is an ask that is outside of your norm, then good! And if you are not asking for what's outside of your normal for something that feels like a little bit of a stretch, now is the time.

This series is specifically for those in our tribe who have asked at a stretch level, as in, "Ooh, that income number looks a little bit uncomfortable," "Ooh, that goal feels entirely uncomfortable," or, "Ooh, speaking looks scary." If there is a sense of discomfort in your ask, that is fabulous, and the way that we are going to help ground you into sustaining the vibration necessary to get you into that space of receiving is to make room for yourself.

Now, back up a minute. If we don't have room for ourselves, what could that look like? It could look like a schedule that is so jampacked that there is absolutely no way to go out for friends, flirting, fun and rest. Downtime is just "catch up on all the other work-stuff" time. Does that sound a little bit familiar? There's no room for you in your schedule.

Another way that it can manifest is in your space. Perhaps with all of your responsibilities to your spouse, to your kids, or to your coworkers and employees, there's so much physical stuff in the actual space where you are that there's no room for your own expression. You're constantly making sure that everyone else is comfortable or managing everybody's else stuff. A dear friend of mine, Andrew Mellen of AndrewMellen.com, says it's time, if that's your case, to “unstuff your life” so that you can get out there and share your gifts with the world.

Know this: If you have been asking for Source to deliver something that is a stretch outside of your norm, then it’s time for you to Make Room to receive it. #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #mindset @SenseiWhitfield

Then there are those of us who are asking for more from source in a distracted way, saying “Okay, spirit guides, bring me more clients, bring me more health, bring me more abundance and rest and travel, et cetera." Then your mind goes, “squirrel!” and jumps to a totally new shiny thing to look at. Instead of physical clutter, there’s a mental clutter that we can have that gets in the way of us achieving and receiving our desired outcomes.

If that's you, you know my catch phrase by now. Be kind to yourself. None of us are perfect, and there's so many opportunities - gosh, with the phone and the TV and the news and the everybody else's stuff, social media - there's so many opportunities to be distracted, and it's not your fault if you're having a hard time maintaining focus. The way that society is set up around us is that we have been trained to interact with the world in a way that expects us to constantly take on a ton of information exposure – this distracted and overloaded lifestyle is considered “normal.” And if you are ready, seriously ready to receive that next manifestation that you have asked for, if you are serious about changing the circumstances around you, you have got to be able to focus, mentally, socially, and physically. The way that you're going to do that is by making room.

This week in particular, my guides are saying that in order to begin making room, begin with your Big Why. I would love to hear from you. Go ahead, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Send that to my assistant so I can hear exactly Why is it time for You to make some room in your life for yourself.

Maybe the way that you're going to make room is by working with a certain mentor that you've been following for quite some time, or maybe the way that you're going to be making room for yourself is by discontinuing working with a certain mentor so that you can open up to just observing yourself or changing things up in your life and business. Everyone is on their own unique journey, but I want to hear Your unique Why. Go ahead and send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. I'd love to hear it.

With further ado, the oracle cards deck of the week is Angels of Abundance. This oracle cards deck is by Doreen Virtue and Grant Virtue, her son. Angels of Abundance, we're going to be journeying with you all month on this topic. What do we need to know right now about making room for ourselves? Here we go. Words of Abundance. Words of Abundances. The angels have got my back on this one. I just got a hit that this is to really validate that you want to focus on putting to word exactly Why it's time for you to make room for yourself.

The card says, "You have the ability to instantly manifest abundance by choosing powerfully-positive words. Always describe your own in the world's economic situation in loving and optimistic terms, and that is what you attract for yourself and others."

This is where we're going to leave off this week: how you describe your situation right now, this situation that you desire to shift and change, is extremely important because the words that you use shape your reality. We want you using positive, spacious, empowering words to describe what you are creating in your current life circumstance.

Again, share your story: comment below or send it to me. I can't wait to hear it. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, and let's get to it. Muah. I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Use powerful positive words to describe your current and evolving situation right now.

Remember that your words shape your reality, so be intentional about using high-quality words to communicate how you are making room to receive your next level manifestations.

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

Love Letters | Faith in Your Life Purpose – Part 4 of 4

Posted on November 26, 2018March 4, 2019 by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

Welcome to week four of four in our exploration of restoring lost faith.

This has been a really powerful series. Your feedback has been tremendous, saying that “this is right on time, Victoria,” “oh my goodness, are you following me around your inside my head,” so on and so forth. Thank you so much for your messages, for your comments and for your shares as well, spreading our healing message. We need this now more than ever, so I just want to say thank you for that and by the way, if this is the first time you are seeing this video and you're like part four, oh my goodness, make sure you hit pause now. Go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one of this series on restoring lost faith.

And for this week in particular, my spirit guides have asked us to cover restoring lost faith in our life purpose, and even in life itself. In the previous weeks we talked about lost faith in ourselves than lost faith in business, our professional lives and in money. And this week in particular, we're going bigger. My heart is so open and present to you, by the way, if this is the week that is resonating the most for you, because when we lose faith in life, we lose faith in everything.

So, I don't know what may have happened to bring you to this point and I don't know what may have happened to the people that you love who are feeling like they're not on purpose at all, or questioning themselves, saying “maybe I don't have a life purpose, or maybe I'll never find one.” Or perhaps something devastating has occurred. Maybe a natural disaster or someone passed away. Maybe a deep loss has happened – to you or your dear ones or to whoever – and you’re feeling a loss of faith in life itself, as if this is not living, and if that is you, I want you to know you're not alone and you're not crazy.

Sometimes pain that we go through can be so great that it appears unbearable, and in fact, the depths that we get pulled to emotionally in life can be so deep that they see unfathomable, and as if there's no way to the bottom. Like when you think to yourself, “Okay, I thought I was going to hit rock bottom” and then the bottom drops out. And then again and again, and you cry out “How many rock bottoms are there? Can we go lower?” By the way, please don't ask that question. That's not the type of thing you want to manifest!

So especially with this level of a loss of faith in life or a loss of faith in your life purpose, we have got to be gentle, we’ve got to be extra kind to ourselves. Find nourishment. Now, here's the thing, my guides for this week in particular have a word for us as far as what to do. How do we begin to restore a loss of faith in our life purpose, our life path, or even in life itself? My guides have said, Allowing. Allow it.

WHAT? What does that mean? By the way, that was the first thing that I said to my guides. I was shocked and actually kinda pissed, saying, “what do you mean allow it? Do you want me to allow myself to feel the depth of my depression? Or do you want me to allow this uncertainty around my life purpose? Do you want me to just allow not knowing?”

And all they said was: Yes, the answer is yes.

Deep breath in... and exhale. Here we go!

How do we have the courage to allow uncertainty? How do we have the courage to allow rock bottom? My guides say that underneath Allowing is SURRENDER.

Now, this is not necessarily surrendering to someone else, or anything that victimizes you in your surrender. Instead, your Surrender comes from a space of power, saying, “you know what? It's not working out,” or “you know what? I don't know. I don't know what I want to do yet.” Allow yourself to be in that state of surrender.

It's okay to not know your life purpose yet. When we are feeling the frustration of a loss, or a lack even of a life purpose, that's actually impatience with Life itself. There is no way that we can tell what the next day will hold, but there IS grace in being there to witness what that day will bring. Whether it's great or whether it's not, there is grace. There is beauty in all things. There's beauty in all things.

Be there to witness it regardless of what it is. Courage comes from the heart, and last week we talked about opening your heart to receive. This week in particular my guides right now – and I'm getting a chill as I say this – are saying that your focus has got to be on opening your heart, specifically to witness life and stay in a witnessing state when it comes to your life, when it comes to what you are purposeful about or not so purposeful about, what you are passionate about or not so passionate about. Remaining open to witnessing and not having to put yourself in a box of “this is my life purpose.” There's so much more adventure in Allowing yourself to witness more and more of what could be your purpose, and in witnessing people living their life’s purpose. Allow yourself to be inspired, but not tied down to, one purpose in particular.

Allow yourself to see more of life rather than disallowing your ability to witness life AS IT IS. Don't cut yourself out of being able to see more of what's out there in the world. One of the most dangerous things about deep depression is how it makes the world so small. Can you hold a mountain with your hands? Can you hold the ocean within the palms of your hands? Can you hold all the children on the entire planet within this tiny space? Can you see everything on our great and beautiful earth through such a limited a perspective?

Click to share the Tweet of the Week:

Know this: Surrender your perfect schedule and allow yourself to just feel and be. Witness and Trust the process of life happening, as it is. Stop trying and pushing, for now. Rest. #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #depression @SenseiWhitfield

Are you loving The Love Letters? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:

If only just for now – or as we say in Reiki, if only just for today – Allow yourself to witness more of life and Allow it without a timeline, because if you aren't in a state of allowing, you're going to apply an arbitrary timeline onto Nature. That is a crapchute. We will never know how long it takes to create a star, we will never know how long it takes for the acorn to sprout finally and move into being an oak tree, we will never know. But what is guaranteed is the flow of Nature that will continue forward on HER timeline, which is Divine timing.

So if only just for now, commit to Surrender to Spirit’s timeline rather than being impatient. Stop driving yourself crazy, saying: “Oh, I don't have a purpose yet,” or, “Oh, life is not enough yet.” Let it go. I'm telling you now you can do it. Just decide on letting it go and just witnessing life.

Repeat after me:

I'm letting it go. I am going to witness life as it is.

I'm going to witness life as it is.

Deep breath in... and exhale.

Let me see who I am and what it is here being alive on earth. Hey, I don't know who this message is for, but please send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com if that really rings true for you, or send this to someone who's coming up in your energy who needs this message the most right now.

Woosaah! Ok. And without further ado, let's go to the oracle cards of the week. Here we are, Healing with The Angels oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue, her very first oracle cards deck. Angels. We need you this week. What do we need to know right now about having lost faith in life and our life purpose? What do we need to know right now to restore that? What do we need to know about why we don't Allow ourselves to witness more, whether it's witnessing more of our passions so that we can, in the right divine timing, find our life's purpose whenever that happens, if it does, or Allowing ourselves to witness more of the beauty of being alive in a body on a planet? What do we need to know right now, Angels? Harmony. So beautiful: the Harmony card. “Conflict is resolved in a situation that was troubling you now. Know that you deserve--” Ooh lala. Here we are.

“Know that you deserve this peace and happiness, and accept it graciously. Beloved child of God, you are a peace lover at heart. This card comes to you as a sign of new harmony that dawns upon you. Let go of viewing the situation as troubled and see yourself and others through the eyes of your guardian angels. In this way, you'll look past the surface and see the beauty and light that eternally shines within everyone. By shifting your viewpoint to the angelic perspective, you become an Earth Angel. Holding an elevated viewpoint sparks miraculous healings in all of your relationships. Conflict drops away, revealing the clean and new truth about everyone and everything.”

This is so perfect. This is where we will leave off for this week and for this series. What's going to help you Allow yourself to witness more of what you're made out of and more of your purpose, and what's going to help you Allow yourself to witness more of life is to shift your perspective. This is so on time. This is so perfect.

Shift your perspective. In fact, elevate it. Now, Doreen is recommending through her channeled writing of the messages of the angels to see yourself from your Guardian Angel’s perspective. But if you don't believe in angels, I’d invite you to see yourself and see your life, your pursuit of living with purpose, through the eyes of someone who absolutely loves you. That elevated perspective for me I think of my grandmother. She is in the spirit realm and more than alive now at this point in time. Muah, I love you grandma! See yourself through the eyes of someone who has an infinite amount of love for you. Think about them, and if you cannot picture one person in your mind, borrow the energy of the angels. Or borrow the energy of maybe a spiritual guru that you follow, or even borrow MY perspective of you.

See yourself through a higher vibrational perspective and allow that way of seeing your life and life in general to help you remain open to this ongoing journey. It's the journey that makes you the person that you're supposed to be, not the destination. It's about who you become in the process.

Comment below, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. If this is hitting deep within you, I'd love to hear what's coming up for you, and by the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week. I'll see you next time. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Shift your perspective about yourself and how you’re doing in life by elevating it: imagine you could see yourself through the eyes of your Guardian Angel.

Ask yourself: how would my Guardian Angel see me and what I’m going through? How can I see myself and my life through their eyes, instead of just mine?
