Love Letters | Let’s Have A Reunion Party

Posted on October 29, 2018March 4, 2019 by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

This is a special announcement Love Letter. Yay!

I'M INTERESTED! NOTIFY ME 🙂

So I wanted to let you know that I am so, so thankful for all your years of support. Being in this line of work has really changed my life and changed the lives of hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world. Tribe, I want to thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support over the years and because of that, my work has grown. This is my special announcement, if you didn't get it in the mail: oh my goodness, we're moving!

I wanted to take this week in particular to inspire you, as well as inform you, around the shifts that are happening here at the dojo. Here's what's going to happen. My work has grown so much that my guides have asked me to focus more on serving you and your teams in particular. We have manifested a gorgeous space that you'll be seeing more of come this December onward. My guides have shown me it's time for us to gather more as a tribe in person, and heal together as a group.

For the last three years in particular, the dojo space where I have been presenting to you from, as well as seeing you if you've been coming for sessions and for meditation classes, is really set up for more one-on-one work. When we throw a party there, we're practically sitting on each other's laps. There's nothing wrong with that, however, gathering together in general is where the juice is at. Right? I'm sure you'd agree with me, for those of you who know what I'm talking about -- when we get to see each other as a group in person, this is so powerful.

For those of you who are members of my Visionary Shaman Circle, of my Abundant Business Circle and who come to group guided meditations, you already know, or for those who attend our solstice parties at the dojo, you know it is so enriching to get to see your tribe in person. Because of that, the location that we've manifested is capable of holding 10 times the amount of visitors. Before I could only maybe have like six to 10 people, maybe 12 in the room if we're sitting on each other's laps. Where we're going has between 60 to 100 people in on-site capacity. It's gorgeous, it's a historic home, maybe about seven minutes away from where we are currently. And I would really love to get to share that with you.

So, we're not just throwing a winter solstice party this year. It's a brand new dojo, and I desire for us to have a reunion, and YOU are invited! Want to come? CLICK HERE if you want to be notified as soon as possible for when and where we're going to be throwing our very first Winter Solstice Tribe Reunion Party.

This week in particular, I’m being guided to tell you to ask YOUR guides. Normally, I'm telling you what my spirit guides are telling me. Absolutely. I've been journeying on this for quite some time. But this reunion is actually a personal desire of my own: I desire a reunion. Ask your own spirit guides, ask your own higher self. What would it look like for me to throw a reunion party for all of my beloved peeps? If it's for your clients, if it's a reunion for your family, if it's a reunion for your friends, try it, and for no particular reason other than a reunion.

Because here's the thing: together is better. You have to ask if you want to receive. I know for me personally, I find that the more I think about it, the more I desire to be in the presence of the people that I love. Right? I've made that decision in my own living situation. I will never live alone. I will always live with someone who loves me and who I love dearly. However that works out, whatever it takes. Because I have lived alone before, and I discovered that I personally don't like the way that that feels.

I've also changed my business lifestyle as well with that same value: I will always work with someone who loves me and who I love dearly, too. I will never work alone. That has changed the level of abundance that I get to experience and enjoy in my life as well as in my business. What matters most is how I feel, and I live that with passion!

With that, let's call it in. I know I'm calling YOU in to come to our Winter Solstice Tribe Reunion Party this December, so make sure you click here to say, "I'm interested. I'm there!” Click here if that speaks to you.

And, this week in particular, I would challenge you to ask your spirit guides, what kind of reunion party should I throw? This doesn't mean that you have to cook, by the way. I never cook at my parties. All of them are potluck style! Baby, bring it, bring it. Whatever you bring. That's awesome. And also, this doesn't mean that you have to chase people down and charge. When I throw a party I never charge, this is just to see you come, hug and spend quality time together.

Now, if you want to contribute, or leave a donation to cover the cups, plates and the space and party supplies, of course I'm grateful and always open to receive support if it brings you pleasure to give. Or for myself I know that when I'm going to a party the hostess is saying, "Hey, could you help us spot five, 10, 30, 50, however for the space, et cetera, et cetera?" I'm happy to oblige, because I have an abundant mindset and I get to be in the party with people I love. Let it be easy.

Ok! I'm hearing my own, personal, Oracle cards deck calling in the energy. This is the very first deck that I ever got for myself, it's the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards deck by Doreen Virtue. This is the actual deck that is only mine and I'm at my home office right now; this deck changed my life when I bought it and I encourage you to get this one (BUY ON AMAZON).

For this week in particular, goddesses, what do we need to know right now about throwing a reunion party, up-leveling our quality of life, and welcoming in more of the tribe? ...Hey, I love it. This is a bit counterintuitive. And I love that. The goddess card that’s coming to us is “Bast: Independent. Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success.”What I'm hearing right now, coming from my guides about throwing a reunion party and welcoming people back into your space, and with me inviting you to come see the new dojo, is let's celebrate, let's have some fun together.

Bast, the Goddess Bast is coming forward about independence. Now, I know you. You are a “strong, independent, insert word here.” Strong independent woman, strong independent man, strong independent girl, strong independent boy. Strong independent business owner. Strong independent entrepreneur. Strong independent artist. Strong independent musician. Strong independent mother. Strong independent father. So on and so forth.

Be kind to yourself. Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success. AND there is more to a house than just the foundation. I do believe it's powerful to be strong and independent. Right there with you! I'm an achiever. Achievers unite, haha! And, that's our foundation. What fills in the rest of the house is the power of positive community. Your ability to be resourced and resourceful. Call it in, ask for what you desire.

If you've been feeling lonely at work, ask for people to come by and visit. If you've been feeling like you're not hanging out with, or seeing enough of your friends and family, ask for them to come by. Don't wait for somebody else to ask you. I just felt a chill in the energy like someone who's watching this right now, maybe it's you, or maybe it's whoever you're going to share this with, because you got to make sure that this word gets out to our tribe. Someone who's watching this right now, could be you, has been waiting to be invited and has been angry or frustrated that they haven't been asked to come out, or everybody else is going out, or everybody else is having parties and things to celebrate, blah, blah, blah. Instead, take a deep breath, and accept that – if only just for today – it’s officially on you this time to make it happen.

It's official: Happy Everything Week! Okay? Got it? Declare happy everything. Join me in this.

And by the way, click here and make sure that you join us, so that you get on that notifications list to be there for our winter solstice party. Our reunion this time will be at the new space, and let's enjoy being together. We can be independent, absolutely, and be powerful in that independence. And then let's enjoy our lives together. Two strong independent people come together, and they become interdependent, and create this amazing life full of love, fulfillment and togetherness. Doing it alone is great, but together is better.

Comment below, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com, that comes straight to me, or you can email my team at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Let me know what comes up for you around this. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week, and I will see you next week with our next series. Bye for now!

Just for today...

Declare that it's "Happy Everything Week" and call in people you miss seeing.

Take a deep breath, center yourself, and ask someone you miss to come visit you or to meet up to reconnect in person.

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

Love Letters | Positive Discomfort – Part 4 of 4

Posted on October 22, 2018March 4, 2019 by Sensei Victoria Whitfield

Yay! We made it week four of four in our wonderful discussion and deep dive around being a catalyst for change, and we're taking the path of peace as a catalysts for change.

Now, if this is the first time you're seeing this, as always, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one of four, so that you can begin the healing work that we've been journeying on for several weeks now. Don't skip out on doing the work, get journaling, get journeying within, and sign up for your support group and your support session, whether you're joining the Visionary Shaman Circle or Abundant Business Circle here at victoriawhitfield.com, or if you are seeking healing support with another wonderful beautiful soul - go sign up and set yourself up for success now!

Without further ado, this week in particular we are going to be talking about allowing Positive Discomfort. Positive discomfort as a concept extends out of what we discussed last week: being in the space of the Beautiful No, and embodying the graceful feminine and the graceful masculine. Doing that rather than coming from an immature warrior posture, where you’re trying to fight your way out or cut people down, or even cut yourself apart to be able to carve out healthy boundaries. Be kind to yourself.

Being an empath means you are someone who picks up on ambient emotional energy without any visual, sound or sensory cues. You don't need any sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell cues to be able to understand there's tense emotional energy in the environment. Now, if for you as an empath, the concept of positive discomfort sounds altogether alien, don't worry, you're not alone. That's why the Guides have us having this conversation, you and I, right now. Our tribe of positive people, our positive empathic community has got to embrace and understand the power of positive discomfort.

What would positive discomfort look like? That would look like allowing inspirational cognitive dissonance and letting that set in on whoever you are communicating with. It’s allowing that, rather than leaping in when someone disagrees with you or leaping in when something is still evolving; when someone's still learning but they haven't quite gotten it yet, or leaping in when someone is being rude or out of line or out of alignment. Instead, it's about creating a space for understanding, accountability, respect, inclusion, and honor of yourself and others.

What can happen often for us as empaths is that we create safe spaces for others and don't include ourselves in that space, and we end up wandering around or, with love, my clients end up wandering around wondering “who's going to hold safe space for me? Who's going to hold safe space for me? I wish people would be able to show me love the way that I do, or advocate for me the way that I do for others.” There's that inner abandoned child within us all, and I’m right there with you - I'm channeling and also speaking to you from experience. There's that inner abandoned child within all of us who had the bad experience, and now as we discussed in a previous week, we are so motivated to create incredible change that we end up endlessly running from that former wound.

At this point where we are at in our conversation, it’s become time that we really start anchoring and allowing for positive discomfort. Better yet, allowing positive disruption. In fact, there are two forms of stress. Maybe you've heard me talk about it before. There's stress where there's the negative type of stress, and then there's “eustress.” You put the 'eu' before the word, eustress, for positive stress. This is when you are so inspired that you're feeling activated in a positive yet stressful situation. Your heart rate will increase. You might start perspiring. Parts of your body might start turning on and preparing for performance.

Know this: We empaths create safe spaces for others, and don’t include ourselves in that space. The time to change that is NOW. #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #inspiration @SenseiWhitfield

If it was for a negative influence, you'd have all the same physiological reactions, but because it's coming from a positive influence, it is considered positive stress, positive discomfort, and positive disruption. To bring it all home before we get to the Oracle Cards for the week, how do we tell the difference? Here's how.

Positive discomfort is free from shame. Negative discomfort incurs pain and shame; it is belittling. It is disempowering. Positive discomfort releases shame. It is celebratory, honoring, shines light, respectful, uplifting, inspiring, but when it comes down to it, it specifically does not inflict shame. Now that's a bit of a preview of the next series that we're going to be talking about. The Guides have already come to me and laid out the next few weeks, so stay tuned for continuing on that discussion.

Suffice it to say, for this week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today: allow positive discomfort. Perhaps that'll come through in your marketing. Perhaps that'll come through in the way that you speak to people and honor your boundaries. Perhaps that comes through as you continue practicing your positive and Beautiful No, honoring your boundaries with others. So, let us consult the Crystal Oracle Cards. Guides, please show us what do we need to know right now about positive discomfort. What does that look like? What crystal wisdom do you have for us today? Here goes: Kyanite. Oh, I wish I had a piece of kyanite to show you. I know I have one at home. Kyanite is a gorgeous, gorgeous blue like the ocean, the Caribbean ocean. Kyanite. All right let's read:

“Kyanite represents intuition, ideas, and dreams. Pay attention to your intuition and to your dreams over the coming days, for you are being guided towards deeper spiritual understanding and insight. Through this process, much of which occurs on a subconscious level or in your dream state, a rather ingenious idea will surface that will radically change your views on life, particularly your career. Kyanite will help you ground this idea as you discover ways of practically applying your idea in everyday life and work. However, do not try to force the process. The idea will surface when you least expect it. Simply relax and allow yourself to be open to new possibilities and insights. Know that they already exist within you in an abstract spiritual form.”

Here's where we're going to leave off for this week: When invoking positive discomfort, it's about allowing for natural positive outcomes to occur. There's an assumption of pronoia: meaning, things are happening FOR you, and getting better and better with time. This is the wonderful wisdom that Kyanite as a crystal is bringing us this week in particular: assume that the discomfort that you are sensing serves a positive purpose. I know as an empath you want to jump in and resolve all discomfort. You want everything to be comfortable and everyone to be safe. Understood. That's why you're an amazing leader, and you're an amazing lover as well. Be kind to yourself! Be kind to yourself. The positive discomfort you sense can also serve your people, can also serve you and a greater future.

Remember, as Kyanite is telling us, to assume that things are happening FOR you, and getting better and better with time. That's how you can choose to see this activation, rather than seeing it as disruption or something more intimidating, just see it as positive activation. You can do this. You can allow this. Tell me what's coming up for you because I'm having a little bit of a pushback in the energy as I say this to you. I don't know who that's coming from - maybe you? Send me an email back and info@victoriawhitfield.com or sign up for us to chat about working together at https://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact/

Comment below: What comes up for you on allowing people to be activated in your presence? Allowing your marketing to inspire positive discomfort, right, and being that inspirational catalyst for change that you are. I'm excited to hear what you say, and I will see you soon for the continuation of our discussion in the next video series. So, as always, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and I'm sending you all my love. See you soon. Bye!

Just for today...

Choose to stand in your power unapologetically, and to inspire and activate the people around you.

Allow the fear of being seen and the fear of other people’s feelings to flow right through and out of you into the ground beneath you, while you stand tall and shine bright like the beautiful catalyst for positive change you are!
