Love Letters | No Longer Tolerable – Part 4 of 5

Posted on by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

This is week four of five of our deep dive into shifting our perspective, so that we can step into our divinity, finally, in life and business.

If you are just seeing this for the first time and you didn't start from week one, please make sure that you go ahead and stop now, go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com, so that you can be grounded in this process. Start at week one.

For our fourth week, my spirit guides have said that we need to talk about the importance of knowing what is no longer tolerable. Last week, we really sank our teeth into our role, and knowing it clearly. We honored who we are and what our purpose is here on Earth: to be that guide, that light, that only you can shine, or only I can shine, from my own unique story, and yours within yours.

We're here, again, at Washington Rock in the dead of winter. It is a very foggy day, so normally we are able to see between 20 to 30 miles out. You might have seen that in the previous videos. But, this is so good, that the weather has shifted to be even more foggy, because this now brings the perspective inward. Right? That's a message and a representation of our intention right now, is to be very clear, inwardly, of what is no longer acceptable.

At your previous point of perspective of where you were coming from before, perhaps there were certain people, certain behaviors, certain foods, and certain investments that you were engaging in, that were acceptable. They were part of your standard operating procedure. And, when we get to a certain point of development, or achieve a certain level of success, there is this expectation that what's been working is going to continue to work.

Now, if you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results, however, that is unfortunately the definition of insanity. There's real satisfaction, there is real fulfillment in having progress, meaning, when we get to grow from our experiences. So, when we're called for to expansion and ascension, personally or professionally, that involves changing what our definition of what is tolerable.

I'm not exactly sure who this message is for. But, I want you, since you're watching or reading this right now, I want you to consider, “What am I tolerating?”

Ask yourself “what am I tolerating in my personal life?” for example, that is keeping me at this level of weight, or in this type of relationship. “What am I tolerating? Am I tolerating people talking down to me, or telling me how things need to be? Or, am I tolerating the reaction that my body has to certain foods, such as gluten?” for example. What are you tolerating personally, that could be reinforcing the same sick cycle recurring and recurring personally, but also professionally?

What are you tolerating? Are you tolerating receiving a certain level of income, because other people said you should be satisfied with that? Or, if you look to your right and you look to your left, that's what everybody else makes. And that's what everybody else is saying is “acceptable.” Are you tolerating that? Or are you tolerating, also professionally, a mentor or an authority figure that might rub you the wrong way in some key areas, but because other things are really great, you overlook that? You instead, stay, and follow their rules, but murmur about the things that bother you, on your off time or in quiet moments to yourself, or confidants.

Be kind of yourself if that's your situation: that you're tolerating things. That can be a coping mechanism, to create a sense of stability, and I'm hearing this very loud and very aligned in the energy, to tell you that in order to create stability finally for yourself, you may have remove more tolerations from off your plate.

Be kind to yourself. There's a difference between telling yourself what’s acceptable and actually having clarity. When you're just accepting what you've been handed to you, there's a of lack of innovation there, a lack of agency. You don't have to give away your power. When you are clear that “this is what I want”, or clear that “this is how I feel”, and you voice that, as well as stand true to that, yes, it may trigger some people, or may ruffle some feathers, or make things a little unstable for a time. But, that's temporary, because you're getting back into alignment, putting yourself back at the center at which you deserve to be.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. All month we've been journeying with the Isis Oracle Cards Deck by Alana Fairchild, and I'll make this quick, because my fingers are freezing. Happy winter everyone! Let's see. Oh, gorgeous. Initiation. Spiritual testing of Ra and lady Isis.This is where we are going to leave off for the week.

The reason why you're shifting your perspective this week in particular, by getting clear on what is no longer tolerable and what you're no longer going to be tolerating, is because you're on a path to Initiation. This is your time. This is the time for you to shift. Not later, it's now. It's now.

And, when you decide that a certain thing is no longer acceptable, that activates your inner power. I can tell that to you from my own story, when I personally decided that being in an abusive relationship - which was most emotionally and, at times, financially, and even physically abusive - when I decided that was no longer acceptable, I was not going to tolerate this anymore, my whole life changed. I had behaviors, such as leaving that person and investing more in my own self-worth, and raising my confidence level, I had behaviors that followed through with that, because it was unequivocal.

I decided I'm not tolerating this anymore. Similarly, my behaviors shifted when I personally decided that smoking was no longer something I was going to tolerate as a behavior of mine, and being around people who smoke regularly was not acceptable either. I had asthma, and it would exacerbate my asthma. Since I quit my breathing has been so much better, and the quality of relationships that I have around me have been so much better, too.

So, what are you no longer tolerating? Comment below, or send me an email back, at VictoriaWhitfield.com/Contact, or Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com. Let me know, what are you no longer tolerating. What is no longer acceptable in your life and in your business? Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get these Love Letters first, every week, and I'll see you next time.

May you feel loved and safe at work, and please, enjoy the journey. Bye for now!

Just for today...

Take an inventory of what you are tolerating in life and business.

First, write out a list of Tolerations, and then secondly, go back through the list and for each line write out the real, honest reason why you are still (or are no longer) tolerating it.

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

Love Letters | Know Your Role – Part 3 of 5

Posted on by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

We are in the middle of a five-week series on stepping into your divinity, this time in business.

What is required? What do our spirit guides have for us? If you haven't seen parts one and two, we're on part three right now. Go ahead, pause this, and go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com so that you can be grounded in this process.

This is week three of five in our deep dive around stepping into our divinity. And this week in particular, the message from the spirit guides for all of us is to Know Your Role. It’s the dead of Winter at the filming of this Love Letter, and we're at Washington Rock State Park in New Jersey. Beautiful, almost 30-mile view. Little bit foggy today in particular, but this is a sacred space for me to clear my head. Many people come here just to enjoy the view and be reverent and silent. Though we're in Central Jersey here, you can see all the way to New York City on a clear day.

Beautiful, isn't it? I want to share this beautiful space with you so that you can take it all in; if you don't have the opportunity to get outside and to clear your energy and to be in nature, or if you're like, "Well, it's too cold," this is for you. By the way, comment below if you appreciate it or if you have a special sacred space that you go to outdoors to clear your energy. There are eagles circling around above me here. Wonderful. Powerful shamanic image.

Today, we're talking about knowing our role. When we don't know our role, we end up constantly being in search of someone to come and save us in this lifetime, to do things that we need done for us. Not in the sense of claiming our power as being a leader, and being above certain tasks that others would be so happy to help us with. But instead we are hot potato-ing our responsibility, hot potato-ing our personal growth and development onto others, saying, "Please certify me so that I'm worthy," for example. Or, "Please love and approve of me, or choose me so that I'm finally worthy."

That's not your role. My guides have told me to remind you that your role is actually to be a light and a guide yourself in this lifetime. You were meant to shine bright, that light of who you are, so that others can see it and then be inspired to turn on their lights and shine as well. What does that mean, in particular, to be the light or to be a guide yourself? It means being conscious of how your perspective, as we discussed in previous weeks, how your perspective connects with and affects others.

In the first two weeks, we really got clear within ourselves around what it takes to step into our divinity. Firstly, stepping back and taking in more of the grand scheme of things. The larger view of your life and what you're doing with it, and of your business, and what you're doing with it, and why. And then secondly, we made it really small, as distilled as possible if you can, on to a three by three sticky. A simple sticky note.

But where we're at now, is remembering. Now that we have this clarity, if you do ... And, by the way, remember to share it with me, I'd love to hear what clarity you got. Now that we have that, is to remember that our role is to shine and to guide others.

The vision that I get for this in particular on how we do that, how we know our role and how we bring it into us in a really powerful way, is an image of the lighthouse. Here's a flagpole, as an example, again this is a monument to where George Washington stood to watch the opposing armies in American history. But a monument, or a lighthouse, stays stationary. It stands firm. It has a firm base. It's very powerfully connected to the earth. Knows its roots, right? And does not move from them. Yet, at the same time, stands head and shoulders above. Sticks out on purpose, to be a marker for what is possible.

Now, be kind to yourself if you, like I in my own humanity, have found yourself maybe in your business throwing away responsibility or trying to throw money at whoever can figure out your problems or who looks like or talks like they've figured out your problems. First, be kind to yourself. That's not your role.

Your role is not to give away your power. But, instead, it's to stand firm in it and deal, find a way to deal, with remaining visible as the lighthouse that you are. You are not just a monument, but you're a lighthouse. Lighthouses shine. And they shine for a reason, constantly, to help others who are trying to find their way. Do you see? It's just being who you are. You don't do it because others are lost and finding their way. But you do it because of who you are. You shine your light because of that.

With that, I'm hearing the Oracle Card calling in the week. Calling in the energy. Again, for these five weeks, we're journeying with Isis Oracle Cards by Alana Fairchild to really help us continue to open up to that powerful transformative energy of which the Goddess Isis is an archetype. And the Oracle Card of the week is, ooh, Chariots of Ascension. It's gorgeous. A beautiful purple Merkabah. “Chariot of Ascension. Spiritual work of the higher initiate.” Here's where we're going to leave off this week.

You're called to ascend. This is not a descent.What you're being called into is not you coming down or lowering yourself for anyone else to make them feel comfortable or acceptable, or for you to appear acceptable to them. No, you're being called to ascend, become even more of who you are. And because of that, like the Merkabah, you become a chariot, a vehicle. A vehicle for others to do the same.

Now, I know we're talking about all these wonderful, high-spiritual concepts. But you and I own businesses. So, I'm curious: how are you going to increase or turn up the volume on your light, your passion, your purpose, and who you really are in your business this week? Or what areas in your business are you going to stop turning down, coming down, and diminishing yourself in?

Send me an email back, comment below, email me at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com so that I can see what you have to say.By the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get these Love Letters first every single week. And I'll see you next time.

May you feel loved and safe at work this week. And, please: Enjoy the journey.

Just for today...

Remember that you are called to ascend in this life; you are not called to shrink down or diminish yourself for others.

Decide that when you choose to stand up for something and shine your light bright, you lift all of us higher, whether you do it at home or at work.

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