Hey everyone, it’s Sensei Victoria Whitfield here, your journey partner in business, welcoming you back to episode 59 of the Journeypreneur Podcast. This is your source for channeled holisticstress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.

The title of this podcast episode is Better Than Passive Income.

So, I was just getting back now from travelling for a software conference. I travel quite a bit to go networking as well as for learning more about how to better serve you, how to serve more people in my purpose as the world’s first Business Reiki Master.

One of the ways that I do that is by improving my software skills because I have an online business. And at this software conference there was a really awesome speaker named Caleb Maddix and he was sharing his story about how he got involved in online coaching in the first place, how he shifted to really being passionate about personal development for young people - as in personal development, confidence, personal growth, money mindset, business mindset, communication skills etc. for children and people who are younger than 18 years old.

It was riveting to watch Caleb on stage - who is now a teenage multimillionaire - rock the room with his years of speaking and internet marketing experience. He started as a child with a message for other kids on YouTube, and has now become quite an incredible global brand.

During his talk though, the one nugget of wisdom that she shared that hit me the hardest was how he stumbled upon something even better than passive income, as a growing, conscious entrepreneur.

Let's talk about it!

This is the fifth and final week of our exploration of vulnerability, cultivating our relationship with being vulnerable and improving our ability to engage and open up in a positive way, maybe for the first time.

Now if this is the first video that you're seeing in this series, make sure that you hit pause, go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one, so that you are grounded in this process. Without further ado, this week in particular for the fifth and final week of our discussion on vulnerability, my spirit guides have asked us to discuss vulnerable leadership.

Last week, we talked about the power of opening up as an empath to being vulnerable, so that we can better relate to and interact with the people and things that we care about in this lifetime. We talked about respecting our energy as empaths, but also not letting our sensitivity dominate us in this lifetime – claiming that as a power, rather than a disability – or be something that you're constantly afraid of or overly protecting yourself from. This week, however, we're going even farther into vulnerability as a power and applying it to leadership.

A wonderful role model of vulnerable leadership and someone who's a thought leader in this area, two people actually, I would have to say one is Simon Sinek and the other is Brene Brown. If you have not checked out their work, I highly recommend it. They have amazing, inspiring, empowering things to share with you around vulnerable leadership and how healing it is especially in the professional world.

The most painful thing that I've seen is how insensitive leadership destroys powerful teams that have become like family and overcome the most incredible odds together. These things that come from the top-down in corporate – restructuring, or layoffs, or whatever hot word they use to explain being insensitive to the needs and the preciousness of the relationships of the people that are working under them – it's incredible how destructive they can be.

I grew up watching my mother re-enter the workforce after 17 years as a homemaker to work for a certain corporation as a technical writer, and then a web developer, and coder for over 20 years. I remember as a kid going to their picnics and things and seeing all of these people that she worked with like my extended family, and feeling part of something bigger; seeing them laughing, and supporting one another. ...Then I also lived through, as a young woman, watching them be torn apart, seeing the stress, and the pain of those wonderful relationships being just torn apart, torn apart by restructuring or “re-orgs” as the company would say. I'm not going to say what company because I want to respect privacy here.

Maybe you've seen this happen in your family – your work family – or your corporation as well, this being torn apart by insensitive leadership, putting numbers before people, or putting self-protection first, which is something that we hinted at last week. Let's go into it this time for our final discussion: the toxic effects of putting self-protection before serving their community around us.

We can get protection-obsessed especially in the professional world because for some reason we allow money and numbers to make us paranoid and prioritize dollars and quotas, and metrics above people, relationships, health and mutual human respect. Be kind to yourself if this is something that you've witnessed happening and that you don't want to be a part of any longer. If only just for today, commit to being open as a leader. Commit to developing your ability to be vulnerable along with the people who you are leading.

Simon Sinek gives us a wonderful example of how to measure how open-hearted you are as a leader. Leaders, he says, are people who watch out for the people to the right and to the left of them. That is it. It has nothing to do with titles, what's on your business card, or what your website says, or how big your office is, or how big your bank account is, or not. It's who are you being on a moment-to-moment basis. In order to look out for, to take care of, the people to the left and to the right of you, you've got to be open to what's going on with them, rather than just what's going on with “Me” and making sure that I'm getting x, y, z done, and so on.

It is a mental acrobatic that you do at first to decide, “I'm going to be concerned, and open, and curious, and communicative with the people that are to the left and to the right of me. The people that are supporting me, I am going to support them. I'm going to be open to how do they feel right now. I'm going to ask them, ‘how are you feeling? Are you all right?’ and loving and supporting them in that.”

Coming from a space of your own center of love and support and not forgetting that you as a leader have needs and have feelings is also important, which is something that we also discussed last week, opening to the fact that I have feelings, too, as an Empath. As someone who supports others, I have feelings. I have needs, and they have got to be honored and respected by me first and then also the people that I'm sharing this life experience with.

Be kind to yourself if in trying to be a vulnerable leader, meaning someone who is present to and caring for the people who are in your care, you've sacrificed your own self-care. That is negative vulnerable leadership because it leaves you open to health problems, relationship problems, spiritual and emotion oppression, depression. Be kind to yourself. That leaves you negatively vulnerable.

How can we then as leaders, moreover as Healing Leaders (that's my term) on this planet, how can we open up to leading from the heart, leading with courage, and positive vulnerability? I’m curious, what does that look like? Positive, vulnerable leadership, is healing leadership. I would venture that it starts with healing self, first, and staying open to being present to those that are in our care, who are supporting us, who are following us, and share the same beliefs and vision that we have. We're all working together in one direction. At the same time, there's the person out in front who holds the vision, being the Visionary. --

Are you healing? Are you present to yourself? Okay, if you are, you're doing your self-care, you're doing your spiritual nourishment, your physical nourishment and love. Good. And are you present to the people around you needing the same, just as much love, and approval, and support, and honor as you're showing yourself? Are they also learning how to do that for the people behind them as well?

Be a Healing Leader. It entails being open to being vulnerable, cultivating that ability to be vulnerable, but if only just for today, commit to being a healing leader by opening to being vulnerable in a positive and empowering way.

I'm hearing the Oracle cards like, "Hey, pick us!" It's Healing with the Angels oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue, her very first oracle cards deck that she ever made in her career. Angels, what do we need to know right now about stepping into healing leadership by embodying being positive, vulnerable leaders? ...This is so good, like I could literally do an entire summit on this, “listening.” Listening! This is so perfect. I love that in the picture, she's listening to her angels, and her angels are listening to her. I'm going to read, I don't really have to, but before I read I just want to tell you what I'm hearing from my spirit guides around listening.

The most powerful leaders I've ever followed in my own life have been profound listeners, profound. Having the courage to listen to your people as a leader is essential. God, She gave us two ears and one mouth. We've got to listen twice as much as we give directions and directives. Anyway, let’s start listening. Let me read:

Listening. You are in communication with your angels and the messages that you are receiving are very real indeed. Trust them. This card is a validation from your angels that you really are hearing them. You have been receiving repetitive messages through your feelings, dreams, visions, inner voice, or knowingness. Are you listening and trusting these messages? Are you following them? If you get an inclination to call someone, go somewhere, or read something, it's important to follow this guidance. By drawing this card, your angels ask you to give all your doubts or worries about divine guidance to them. Know that you truly are communicating with heaven and enjoy the conversations.

This is so perfect. Here's where we'll leave off for this entire series: Cultivating your listening sense. Your active listening is also cultivating positive vulnerability. If you are not comfortable listening to others, or you feel impatient, it's just because you haven't cultivated listening as a skill. It's just a skill that you're a little bit deficient in. If you just dedicate time and mental space to it, it gets easier and more pleasurable with time.

If you need to work on your listening skills, I highly recommend my book Natural Intuition Now. I take you step by step exactly through how to listen with presence and also why it is so important. The more that we become intuitive, open, vulnerable, healing and empowered leaders, the better our world becomes, the better the legacy of love becomes that we leave behind us in all the work that we do and all the people, all the lives that we touch.

Send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfiled.com. What's coming up for you around this? Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get Love Letters first every single week. Tag someone who needs to hear this, and I will see you in the next one.

May you feel loved and safe to be your most brilliant self at work.

Please, enjoy the journey. Muah. See you soon. --

Just for today...

Challenge yourself to actively listen twice as much as you speak, when in conversations and meetings.

Listen to your body, your feelings, others’ bodies and feelings, and shine the light of your attention on the things left unsaid by all involved in the conversation (yourself included).

Struggling to recover from an unexpected setback?

Tired of rolling with the punches -- or are you even angry that you have to change things, AGAIN?

Wish you could enjoy, or even just be comfortable, with letting go?

The secret to letting go joyfully is knowing that what you're letting go of is going somewhere positive.

In fact, Nature teaches us all about this and what letting go looks like when done masterfully.

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter video, the final installment in our four-week series on Letting Go, to become a rockstar at letting go, naturally.

"I just can't get over this setback."

This is week four of four. We've been at this for four weeks, exploring letting go, this fine art and journey of being able to let go finally.

Is it letting go of an employee? Is it letting go of a relationship, letting go of excess weight right from your body, or letting go of clutter and stuff in your house and office, or in your car?

If you haven't caught the other weeks, go back on YouTube. Put my name in, or check me out on VictoriaWhitfield.com. They're all listed there on the block right there, VictoriaWhitfield.com.

This week though is our final resting point for letting go. This is where we step into being someone who is comfortable with letting go. This is specifically around recycling. Week one was release. Week two was receive, the courage to receive what we already have. Because of that we now are capable of being in a state of constant recycling of energy.

Now pause for a second. Next month is July at the filming of this video. Every July I host a three-day live ocean side retreat here in New Jersey called the Deep Dive Retreat, letting for healers. This whole month, surprise, surprise, we've actually been covering everything that we go through at the retreat.

Now I take people who attend through immersive, interactive experiences of the teachings rather than just you sitting and listening. If you would love to really anchor the teachings of letting go, grab a friend and join us down the shore in New Jersey every July. Head on over to VictoriaWhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat, all one word for details on that, for the location and all the logistics that you need in order to join us. We're talking about being someone who is comfortable, always in a state of receiving and releasing, receiving and releasing, which is recycling, recycling. Do it with me. Be recycling.

Now with that, it's harder to hold on than to let go. When it comes to energy expenditure, you're working harder, holding on, holding on than letting go. One of the things that makes letting go so easy is to know that what you're letting go of is going somewhere.

If you don't know that there's a better place for that employee to be working at, or someone who would love to be with this person, or who would love to enjoy that sofa, or these books that you've been holding onto as clutter. If you didn't know that, it would only be dependent upon you and your mindset, your perspective to enter the cycle of life.

Throughout all of nature recycling is the status quo. Nature is interdependent, and the way that resources, and nutrients, and life is shared throughout all of nature is following the cycle. A great illustration of this is when I was in Sedona years ago. A park ranger explained to me that forest fires are good for forests. That blew my mind. He was like, "Yeah, our forests over here are much healthier than over there in New Jersey because the trees have space to breathe."

TWEETOFTHEWEEK

Know this: Forest fires are good for trees, because the ashes nourish the soil. Be open to letting go and allowing setbacks to fuel your reinvention.

tweetbutton

Every so often the forest will have a natural forest fire. The lightning hits, and it ignites the leaves and the brush, and then it catches. The trees with the deepest roots are the ones that remain where the excess is let go. The reason why this is good is not because only the strongest survive. No, the reason why is because when those excess trees burn down the ashes nourish the soil, and that's what causes new life to grow so abundantly.

Where do you in your life and business right now need to open to recycling? Could it be an equipment or paper, et cetera, thinking in terms of physical items recycling, letting go, so that you can receive, and so that others can receive those items, and make better us of them, or take them apart into their components. Then someone else can make better use of them, or are there practices even, or foods, and behaviors that we're engaging in and taking into our bodies, minds, and time that are clogging up the lines?

How can you, this week in particular, let those go in a way that is constructive by recycling or upcycling? Could it be donating that food that is no longer healthy for your body, but the homeless could appreciate that, donating that food, getting it out of the house? Could it be telling your story, so that what happened to you in the past no longer has power over you but instead edifies someone else because they don't have to go through that because they received your wisdom? How is recycling coming up for you, and how will you step into being one who does that?

My oracle cards are calling in the energy. Angels are going to help us out, indigo angels. This is the deck we've been journeying with all month. What do we need to do know about this week, stepping into being someone who regularly recycles that which no longer serves, to help us to let go?

Okay. Hello. Archangel Metatron is the card that comes forward in particular, and I don't normally read, but my guides are telling me read this entry. Archangel Metatron, the first angel on the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah keeps those who are newly upon the spiritual path. He oversees Indigos, highly intuitive individuals and ensures that they're spiritual gifts stay open and active. Like all archangels, Metatron is unlimited and able to be with everyone who calls upon him.

This card asks you to work with Archangel Metatron in your daily life to welcome messages and signs confirming to you that you are perfect no matter what. My guide said, "Stop." That's what we were looking for.

Archangel Metatron is coming forward to let you know that it is safe for you to release whatever is coming up, if it's person, place, thing, or practice, and give it to the greater good. Release them back into the wild because you are perfect just the way you are.

When you give knowing that it's going somewhere, like recycling, in the form of recycling, it immediately calls to you that type of abundant blessing where someone at a higher vibration who no longer needs that endowment of money, or who no longer needs that amazing assistant is able to send them your way, or who no longer needs that wonderful man, or woman, or doggie if you're a pet parent, who no longer can take them any longer, or their journey has finally come to an end, you get to benefit from them.

Now what's coming up for you hearing all of this? What are you afraid of especially? Type that in the comments below around what are you afraid of, or resistant to around recycling, and being someone who's comfortable letting go on a regular basis.

Now again, we're going to go into this in-depth at the Deep Drive Retreat in July. Go ahead to VictoriaWhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat, and we'll see you there. Ready for it, muah. See you next week.

Never seem to finish what you start?

Can't seem to stop acquiring more resources, certificates and programs than you actually use, fully?

Too busy with little tasks to follow up on and follow through with the big stuff that could really change your life and business?

If this is the case, then chances are you believe that "the learning never stops," as Tony Robbins would say.

But sometimes we can become addicted to acquiring new information, contacts and projects, and it clutters up our energy.

Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video, the third installment in our four-week exploration of Letting Go, to learn about the power of practicing emotional digestion to supercharge your effectiveness!

"I have to buy that new program I saw."

This is week three of our four week exploration of letting go. This is the month that we're gonna do it. Let it go. So if you have not seen the previous two weeks, go ahead. Hit stop. Go back on my YouTube channel, right, just put in Sensei Victoria Whitfield on YouTube. I'll come right up. Or you can see the posts on VictoriaWhitfield.com at my blog. Catch up so that you can see what's going on.

Now this is receive week. When it comes to letting go, it's important to know that we're engaging letting go as part of a cycle, and in particular, the guides wanted to bring forward the concept of emotional digestion for you. So last week, we talked about release and constipation. Make sure you see that video, so it puts this a little more in context.

But this week in particular, we're talking about the opposite, right, receiving and being able to digest that which we are receiving, especially emotionally. So how many times in conscious business, or our conscious business lifestyle, do we just acquire, acquire, acquire resources. In fact, that's the hallmark of you being a conscious business owner or you being a conscious person, right, if you're not someone who is owning a business, but keeping up with the love letters. Mwah to you as well. You're welcome here.

So the hallmark of someone awake and spiritually aware is that they are open to receive resources. So the books, the programs, right, the ... I was about to say the tapes. Who acquires tapes anymore?

But the certifications, right, yoga, or reiki, EFT, NLP, all the different certifications, the coaching certifications that we're acquiring resources. We're acquiring coaches and advisors, and networks and support groups, a sign that you're waking up and on your path to developing yourself spiritually and being conscious in this lifetime is that you are open to receive nourishing input.

However, there comes a point in our growth cycle, whether as an individual or as a business or a business owner, solopreneur, that we've become addicted to self help and addicted to resource acquisition. "Oh my God. So and so's running a new program. I gotta go buy it." Don't read any of the content.

Maybe go to some of the meetings, but don't really do anything in the program. Or "Oh my God. Look at this new product. I love it. It looks like the solution to my problems." And then we buy it, and then it's over, and it sits on the shelf. Maybe you even buy too much food each week, and that, especially with the salad. Guilty as charged, right, it will run out, and it'll expire, or it just sits on the shelf gathering dust.

If that's you, where you start things, but aren't finishing them, like every entrepreneur ever ... Right there with you. This is a sign that it's time for you to start practicing digestion in your receiving.

You know, it's one thing to do like the money affirmations, right, our love affirmations, and all of that, or "Oh, I want more clients. I want more clients. I want more clients. I got ya Abraham. I believe. I believe." And we keep acquiring people, but are we keeping them? Are we acquiring lots of connections but not activating them? Be kind to yourself if this is what has been your situation.

TWEETOFTHEWEEK

Know this: You are enough. Love yourself enough to stop acquiring more, and instead go back and finish what you've started.

tweetbutton

I know for me personally, I'm on this journey right there with you this month. I keep acquiring business cards at networking events. But do I do anything with them? Well, we're changing that this week, thanks to my assistant. But up until now, oh my gosh. I have such a backlog of information that I have not digested.

And this is your assignment for this week in particular from the guides, is to take time and digest. Believe it or not, if you stopped marketing, if you stopped looking for the love of your life, if you stopped acquiring acquiring, right, you would be forced to turn around and appreciate how much you already have. In fact, you would maximize the incredible amount of resource that you've already been gifted with. And I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Come a little bit closer. Indigo angels. Indigo angels.

Supporting us in emotional digestion. If you're feeling like you can't let go, you can't let go, you can't let go, then that means there's more to receive from that emotion. There's more to learn, more to digest. Perhaps that's journaling. Perhaps that's talk therapy, coming in for a Reiki session here, or joining one of the groups online, so that you can digest the incredible abundance of support and wisdom that you already have.

My guides just told me to say, before I pull this card, you are enough. You're enough already. Love yourself. Couldn't be more in alignment, right? I just got a challenge in there. She's like, "Yeah we can." Thanks angels. So the love yourself card is coming forward to really boost your courage to engage digestion this week. So it takes courage to stop signing up for new programs, right, or to stop acquiring more resources, and go back and finish what you started. If only just for now, love yourself enough to digest the nutrients that you've been intaking. Receive that. Let go of the addiction to acquiring more.

Now, let me know what's coming up for you. This is a two way conversation. So comment below, or send me an email back at VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact. All my info's there.

And if you know somebody who keeps acquiring more certifications or keeps reaching for more, and more, and more, and more, share this with them.

Forward this video to them and let them know that they can love themselves enough just as they are, to digest and appreciate all the resources they already have. You're enough. Mwah. We'll see you next week for our fourth and final installment. Bye.

This is our final week four of four in our exploration of healing sales, our sales scars and shame around asking for the sale. Healing the bad, crusty experiences that we've had in the past.

If this is the first video that you are seeing in this series, make sure you hit pause, and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com so that you start from part one and are grounded in this process.

Without further ado, for week four of four, the guides have asked us to continue the conversation that we started last week, and specifically talk about sales as healing. Sales as healing? Holy tomato! For some people, that's about the most opposite possible thing that they could think of when they think of sales. “Are you kidding me? Sales is like you're raiding and pillaging everyone. It's like an attack.”

Sales can be perceived as an attack, and if we've had some negative experiences in the past, in those really powerful transformational moments that come up for us regarding a larger sale such as buying a house or a car, or a coaching program, or a new building, and so on and so forth. If someone's done you wrong in that level sale, that scar runs deep, but in the words of Robert Bly from Iron John- which is amazing if you haven't read it yet – “Every wound is a womb.” Every wound is a womb.

The wounds that we may have received in our past of sales not going very well for ourselves or being done to us - or even witnessing sales happening between others that aren’t ethical - every wound that we receive is actually a womb. And what is a womb? It's a place where new life is created, so that's why we're talking about sales as healing. These wounds that we've received over the course of engaging in commerce are sacred, whether you are an entrepreneur or not. You don't have to own a business to have engaged in the sale. Anything you have, the clothes on your back, glasses, the shoes, underpants on your butt (hopefully, you're not wearing any? No judgment.) you have that because someone sold it to you.

You live in this house because someone sold it. Be kind to yourself. Your education, you have it because someone sold you on having education. But at the same time some of those experiences of being sold, being brought from one paradigm to another through a sale - a sale bridges gaps - that paradigm shift can be a bit traumatic.

But I want to elevate to this vision that the guides are sending for us right now of sales as something entirely different: sales is healing. I really want to drop into my heart and be blunt right now with you, because a lot of my lists of people who are watching these videos, following on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or wherever you are, if it's just landed into your inbox or someone forwarded me to you: nine times out of 10 you're some sort of a teacher, coach, healer, or a caregiver of some sort, right? You support people. You offer a healing presence.

If you are watching or reading this right now, whether you're a hairdresser cutting hair, an accountant doing taxes, or a lawyer working through your cases, whether you're working in construction, or you're like a transformational women's divine feminine coach goddess, or some other service-based business in addition to all of the above. If you're watching and still reading this right now, what magnetized you is not just my lovely exciting shirt and sparkly energy, but it's the fact that you see a piece of you in me. By the way, likewise; I see a piece of myself in you, in that we are Healers. We're here to heal the world. We're here to bring healing presence.

If you are having a hard time receiving financial abundance, it's because you have not shifted your point of view yet around sales. You haven't shifted it yet to see sales as healing. Sales is healing. Now, I'm a Reiki Master, an alternative medicine energy healer. I'm a woo-woo person, and proudly wave my rainbow woo-woo flag. I’m down with unicorns and glitter and high vibrational multi-dimensional energy - all of that, 100%. And the only way that I am able to share all that woo-woo goodness juice with the people who are starving and dried out and like desperate for it – they’re spiritually dehydrated. They need the juice. - is if I get out there and share my gift. If I get out, open up and talk about who I am and what I do, and what I can do for you. That's the purpose of sales.

Sales is actually healing for the people who are thirsty for the juice that you have created. I'm not talking about selling people stuff that they don't need. That can actually turn more into an addiction. I mean, hey, I have an addictive personality. Let me pull myself out the closet and like flap that in the air for you, okay? So yeah, I can have an addictive personality where, oh my gosh, I just want to go, I want to buy a bunch of stuff to alleviate my frustration right now. I want to buy a bunch of information courses and a bunch of books, and a bunch of crystals, right? Maybe that's been you before, and to some extent the things that I'm drawn to are what I need in the moment.

And those people who are out there selling the crystals, the necklaces, the books, the audio courses, the things that are going to lift me back up, I thank the Goddess for them. But I'm not going to be going out there and buying like, you know, sprockets and light bulbs and tires and things when I'm in my emotional state searching for a certain thing. If I need energy, I'm going to go out there looking for things that are going to give me energy for what I'm looking for.

That's the key for sales being healing. It's you putting out “what am I going to help people with? And here it is.” I really appreciate Russell Brunson, his concept of having a Bridge to help us get from that state of “Alright already! I'm in frustration and in trouble” to “here, let's talk about the sale.” Having a Bridge is what's going to help you engage more sales as the healing part of your business. It not only heals your bank account when you close successful sales, but it also is healing for the clients and customers who are receiving exactly what they need.

Having a Bridge, and this comes from Russell Brunson, is to have a phrase that helps anchor in the fact that you are here to help them, and you have something that you would like to help them with. So what is that phrase? It could be asking for permission of someone who, you know, if you're out sharing your gifts and you see they could really use what you are providing, say, "Hey, I see that you have this situation going on. Is it okay if I share with you something that I put together to make things easier for you?” Or, “I put something together to serve you, and I was wondering if you would want to hear more about it?"

Ask for permission. Sales is healing when you always ask permission, first.You want to get consent in guiding someone through their paradigm shift, because the worst thing is pushing someone into a paradigm shift who doesn't want it and isn't ready for it. Sales is healing because we raise the buyer’s vibration. We help people into a new, more empowered reality as long as you're doing it ethically. When done unethically, unfortunately it can become like what we've been talking about for the last few weeks: something that is much more of a scarring experience.

Now, you've got to remember to turn on your natural intuition. Tune into your body. Clear your energy. Listen to your heart. If you feel your heart opening towards someone, feeling compassionate and wanting to help them, listen to that desire, that sensation of oh my goodness, I really want to help them. I feel for them. That's a sign from the Universe to actually take out your bridge, bring it over to them and say, "Hey, I see you're going through this situation. I know about something that could help you”, or “I put this thing together that could really make it easier for you. Is it okay if I share it with you?" Get their consent, and then go ahead, honor them by giving them access to the thing that will help them the most. Sales is so incredibly, powerfully healing. Comment below, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Let me know what's coming up for you around this.

For now we're going to jump into the Oracle cards. The deck that we've been journeying with is Angels of Abundance by Doreen Virtue, these Oracle cards of Doreen with her son Grant. “Alright, Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about sales as healing and how to activate our natural intuition now, other than reading Victoria's book?” ...Oh, snap. Throwing down some serious love bombs.

Face your financial fears. When you are honest with yourself about fears of success or failure, honest with yourself, they can no longer control you. Be free of hidden fears by exposing them to the light of awareness, and you'll realize that you in fact have nothing to fear, and that every successful person has struggled with and releases these self-doubts. This is where we're going to leave off for the week. The perfect landing point for this series.

You know, when you release fear around sales, receiving more or delivering more sales conversations, when you release that fear and you have faith that this is actually a healing going on, all of that momentum around blocking abundance lifts. Have faith that what you are sharing is healing. Focus on the healing. Don't focus on your fear or on your self-doubt. That'll sabotage you. You'll end up self-sabotaging.

Do the inner work first, though, to get yourself into a space of total faith in the work that you do or in the product that you're talking about. Do the inner work around understanding that when you go into a sales conversation, or when someone's trying to engage you in that, there's a healing going on. Be open to receiving or giving the healing more so than the money, okay? Be more focused on the healing work than the finances, and nine times out of 10 you'll end up closing the sale and the finances will come.

Be kind to yourself if you're afraid of focusing on the healing because you're so afraid of the money. If that's your case, please reach out to me at www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact You can hop on the phone with me and we'll be able to get you sorted and see how we can best support you moving through that fear of receiving.

I'm sending you so much love, blessings and abundance, and I'll see you in the next one.

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

Bye for now.

We are entering into another series of the Love Letters and I have to tell you, I'm fired up about this, personally.

Now, I've only been in business eight years, and I've only reached six figures, I've only been on two world tours and I've only published one book. I’m no expert and I don’t know everything. But after all of the hundreds of entrepreneurs that I have served, hugged and loved on and encouraged to glow, as they grow their businesses, I’ve noticed that this topic in particular comes up all the time and it's killing me! I'm so excited to get to talk to you about it.

So many people have this idea that money is not spiritual, and because of that assumption, they think X, Y and Z. Therefore, I can't buy this program. Therefore, I can't sell my services. Therefore, I shouldn't have more money than my husband. Therefore, as a healer, I should be struggling, or as I'm an artist, I should be struggling. It should be HARD, things should be HARD. I gotta work HARD in order to be acceptable, successful, respectable. Blah, blah, blah. 😉

I love you and in the next few weeks, we are going to be busting through this limiting belief. We have got to bust through this limiting belief. And it's all starting with: money is not spiritual.  Now I am only a Reiki Master Teacher four times over and I'm only the world's first business Reiki master (which means I ground and clear the energy of business owners in particular; their chakras, their energy centers, their flow of wealth and abundance and love and health through them). I don’t know everything. And however, I do know that money is absolutely essential. So much that we have got to talk about it. When you start doing yoga, when you start meditating, you start learning about the mind-body connection. You also start learning about something called Energy and how energy is everything.

“Your vibe attracts your tribe”, does that sound familiar to you? That phrase. Or “raise your vibrations”, “raise your standards”, “get into a peak state” as Tony Robbins would say, or “get into the vortex”, as Abraham Hicks would say, or “love and approve of yourself” as Louise Hay would say? All of these phrases convey that Energy is so important. How we manage our personal energy not only affects our physical health, our emotional health and wellbeing, but it also affects our attractiveness to love, relationships and even opportunities to make money. If you are not in alignment with receiving more wealth and abundance; if you perceive the acquisition of wealth and abundance as evil or not spiritual, and therefore repulsive, you repel it.

"Oh those rich people. They are so sinful. I am so righteous because I work hard and don’t rock the boat,"we are taught to think. If that’s what you’re saying to yourself, then with love and respect, I've gotta break this to you: you are saying that to get YOU off the hook from serving more people. We look down on, as a society, and demonize people who are highly successful, who are producers in the marketplace. We look down on and demonize sales people, to let ourselves off the hook, so that we feel more significant for Not getting in the game and serving more people.

The only reason that, Mark Zuckerberg, or Jeff Bezos, or Oprah, or Marie Forleo, or whoever has more money than you is because they serve more people. That’s it. Of course they make more money! The money is just a reflection of the impact that they are making out there in the world. Thank you, Fabienne Fredrickson, by the way, for making that crystal clear to me years ago - and if you haven't checked her out, I highly recommend her work: visit Boldheart.com for more info. But for all of those of you out there who are afraid to ask for help, to ask for donations for your non-profit, and who are afraid to ask for the sale or afraid to put yourself out there and share the things that you believe in, please know that money is deeply spiritual because money is energy. It is an amplifier.

Money is am amplifier. Who you were before you had the money is only going to become even bigger, once you do. So that's why there are people who have terrible personalities with tons of attention on them having a terrible personality as they are doing terrible things in the world; it’s because before they had all that energy, all of that resource of money behind them, they were already not so high vibe, they were already terrible (lol).

But to the people who are good and loving, generous and excited to serve, or who are positive and ready to do awesome and bright things in the world: when they get more money, they just do more of it. They start building schools in the most challenged parts of the world. They start bringing water to the people who have no access to water. They build places where water can be brought to them. I read an article that Akon the singer has privately brought electricity to hundreds of millions of people in Africa using the proceeds from his songs. Good gets greater when you add in money, and is that not a beautiful, spiritualresult?

Allow yourself to anchor in that. Anchor in to WHY you should be making more money, receiving more money. Is it for your non-profit? For your business, or you purpose driven enterprise? Your mission-driven company, if you don’t own it but you work for one? Zero in 100% on your WHY so that you can serve people at a greater scale.

Now this NOT for you if you are doing something that you hate, for people who you hate, and you are completely grinding yourself to the bone, because money is your only way out of abject poverty and you will do anything to get it and you'll stomp on anyone to get it. This message is not for you. We don't wanna see more pain in the world. Remember: money is an amplifier. Let’s not amplify more pain and grinding and inauthenticity. But if you are doing good work, you've got to be more visible. I would love to see you shine bright. Open your heart, open your energy and allow more wealth. Not just money, but wealth of all kinds - and we'll be talking about that over the next few weeks. Allow different kinds of wealth to flow into your experience.

In accordance with that, we're going to be journeying with Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck by Doreen and Grant Virtue (that's her son, Grant). Alrighty, and by the way, this is the oracle cards deck that we pull from every month, during the monthly Abundant Business Circle financial energy healing sessions that we have for entrepreneurs here at the dojo. If you're interested in attending the next one, go ahead and send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. I'd be happy to tell you more. Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about how our money is spiritual? Okay, let's do this... Here goes:

“Exercise to increase your energy and manifestation abilities. The key to manifesting quickly is to have very high energy levels and the easiest way to increase them is through physical exercise. Choose a fun and meaningful activity so that you'll look forward to exercising and it becomes its own reward.” And this is where we're going to leave off for the week.

My guides are telling me that the angles brought this card forward in particular, because someone who is watching right now is on the bright side, is one of the good women, one of the good guys out there, working for the light. You are doing good work. You are giving to charities. You are uplifting all those who come across your path, but you're frustrated. Frustrated because you don't have enough money in order to pay your bills, in order to pay your team, in order to take care of your family as well as to keep up with all of the commitments that you've made. So here's the thing. If you are a high-vibe person, that – meaning, not enough money – is not the real problem.

A lack of money, is a lack of energy. This card says, “exercise to increase your energy and manifestation abilities.” Here's what the real problem is: your physical energy levels, your emotional energy levels or your relational energy levels - it's one of those three. I'm gonna be talking about that over the next few weeks. Your physical energy levels, your emotional energy levels or your relational energy levels are not at the highest vibration possible. Something in one of those three areas is of a lower vibration. And you have got to find a way to raise it by any means necessary. That’s the real problem.

The fastest way to get through all of that is ecstatic exercise. It covers all three. Especially if you do it with other people. When you’re able to turn on your physical capital, turn on your emotional capital and also your relational capital, abundance is guaranteed.

Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. What's coming up for you around that. Which one of those three areas - physical, emotional or relational (and that means relationships and how you are in the vibration of your relationships) - what one of those three is what's really low vibe and sucking the energy out of your wealth and abundance, and by extension, affecting your finances? I'd love to hear that and support you in raising that vibration, if you’d like help with that.

Make sure you hit subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every single week and I'll see you in the next one.

May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey to ascension.

Bye for now!

Just for today...

Raise your vibration in relation to money so you can be open to receive more of it and bless more people with it.

When you feel judgmental of wealth or wealthy people, dance the feeling off, speak it off, journal it off, or walk it off of your body and out of your energy.

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

The post Love Letters | Allowing Diversity – Part 4 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week four of four of our exploration of stopping faking it. You do not have to fake it to make it anymore.

We've been diving deep into that concept. However, if this is the first one in the series that you are seeing, make sure you hit pause, and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com, click on part one and start there so that you're grounded in this clearing process. Without further ado, this week in particular, we are talking about allowing diversity.

Now, when we're talking about stopping faking it until you make it, there's an undercurrent of emotion flowing underneath it, where we are trying to make everything perfect. There's a palpable undercurrent, and that undercurrent is fueled by a lack of acceptance for diversity, of things being different. There's a lack of acceptance for imperfection, for things going a different way than expected, for multiple viewpoints and new and different, or old and different, points of view. Be kind to yourself if you're driven to perfection because you're driven to uniformity, or to make sure everything is balanced and set ...or else.

With love, that's a traumatized mindset, where everything has to be perfect. Everything has to be fine. We have to look fine. All of our Facebook Livestreams have to be perfect and look fine. All of the marketing materials in the business have to be perfect and look fine in order for anything to happen, or else. It’s insidious. It’s infectious.

Your speech has to be absolutely perfect in order for it to be effective. Your weight has to be absolutely perfect in order for you to be loved or to be seen. Your hair has to be absolutely perfect - according to some external force that says this is what perfect hair is - in order for you to be taken seriously. Only just for today, as we say in reiki, no more, just for today. No more of that traumatized mindset.

What helps us to stop faking it is allowing for diversity. When someone comes early or comes a little bit later, allow for the diversity and say, "How can we acknowledge this situation?" and then weave it in. Integrate it in. If your partner is seeing a completely different point of view, how can we allow our partner to have a different point of view, and still have a two-way conversation as two brilliant beings? Do we have to win, win, win every single argument - or every single discussion, even if we're not arguing? Do we have to win, win, win in order to feel heard or to feel safe, or to feel served?

Allowing feels different than winning. As I’m recording the video for this blog, there’s powerful lightning going on in the background. I'm leaving that lightning in, by the way, because it was gorgeous, and it's just another example of allowing diversity. We're not faking it. I'm not faking it in here. I'm listening to what my spirit guide are telling me and relaying it to you, aka, channeling. The same way that the rain gutters are doing their best that they can here in the dojo to channel the water away from the roof, away from the house. That way, it's protecting as well as continuing this beautiful cycle of flow and nourishment.

Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling blocked and stuck or undernourished in your body, your mind, your heart, your business or your spirit lately. Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling that blocked or stuck feeling. It's because we're not allowing for diversity. This also involves accepting others as they are. This comes up a lot with love and relationship issues in my private sessions with clients who are, as we discussed in our previous weeks, people who orient to clarity. My clients are very conscious, awakening, evolving souls. You come home, and your family is like, "We're just trying to relax and chill," while you’re gushing about your aha-moments and breakthroughs and how things need to change. ::take a deep breath in... exhale...:: Here's the thing. Allow for the diversity. Allow for the diversity.

It doesn't mean you approve or condone bad behavior, or people overstepping your boundaries, per se. Be kind to yourself in that respect, and at the same time, allow people who are orienting to comfort to just be as they are. The big, big, big source of suffering in our tribe of conscious, driven, high-vibrational individuals is not allowing people who genuinely just want to be comfortable to just be where they are at. Just let them be.

Because coaching is addictive, we tend to come in guns blazing: “I'm going to coach you! RAWRRR! I'm going to coach you! I'm going to transform your life!” Lol... umm. That's cool. You don't have to transform everyone all the time, ok? If someone doesn't want it, they don't want it. Let them go. If someone doesn't get it, they don't get it, ok? Relax.

Know this: Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling that blocked or stuck feeling. It can be there because we're not allowing for diversity. This also involves our level of ability to accept others as they are... or not. #positivevibes #mindset #womeninbusiness @SenseiWhitfield

Molding your children is a give and take. This is something that, especially when you're trying to be the best guardian for your children that you've manifested in this lifetime, it’s a give and take: on one hand, you can't just let them roam free. We're guarding them and making sure that they know that they're safe because someone's watching them. And at the same time, if they see the world differently than you do, allow the diversity. As a parent, be kind to yourself and allow their diversity, their point of view, within your sacred container of safety for them.

Here’s the mindset of assertiveness and allowing that my guides are offering to parents. Within these four walls, when I pay the bills for this, when I cook the food for you, and I wash your clothes, you honor this sacred container I created for you. I take care of you, I birthed you, I love you, and you're fully yourself, within these certain sacred parameters. You still have a mind of your own, and at the same time, you get to honor the fact that you're being taken care of, protected and guided with deep unconditional love. Allowing diversity is a special case with kids. I understand that. I honor that and respect that.

However in your career, alternatively, when you have teen members who see things differently from you, don't throw them to the side too fast. Allow them to have your back, ok? Imagine I'm standing back-to-back with another person. If I face this way, I can't see what they're seeing. Does that that if they look the other way that they're wrong for what they're seeing? No. Not necessarily; we are just standing back to back, looking at different sides of the same thing, with different eyes.

In fact, they actually have my back. That's the greatest gift of having a diverse team with diverse points of view. Allow it, so that they can have your back and watch out for things that may be in your blind spot. Allowing diversity doesn't have to be perfect. It does, however, need to be conscious. This is where we've got to turn up the volume on our communication arm, leaning into uncomfortable yet productive and loving conversations.

Loving to yourself, being loving to the person you're having the conversation with, and being loving to the entire tribe that the two of you are a part of or supporting or building. Lean into those loving conversations because they allow diversity and diversity is power. The fairies are calling in the energy, by the way - Healing with the Fairies: Oracle Cards deck is who we've been journeying with all month for this series around stopping faking it. You literally can just stop. Just let it go, if only just for today, as we say in reiki. Only just for today, let go of faking it.

Fairies, what do we need to know right now about allowing diversity? ...This is a good thing to add. I'm grateful for it. Creative Expression. And here's where we're going to leave off for today, and for this series. When we're stopping faking it until we make it, when we're stopping pretending and starting to allow different points of view, allow imperfection, allow being natural or being ourselves, there emerges a beauty in diversity. There's an incredible beauty in diversity, and it is creative expression. You get to see how marvelous and awesome it is to have so many different points of view and have so many different experiences. Variety is the spice of life, right?

This tree behind me, for example, and all the other ones with it too, are gorgeous because it's unique expression. It's natural. It's not perfect. It is perfectly imperfect, and it is a part of creation. Right? Well, guess what? That's a tree. If a tree is allowed to be unique and expressive and imperfect and still be gorgeous and healing and beautiful and precious, so are you. I mean it sounds like a bit much, but as we're stopping faking it, can we at least give ourselves the same permission that we give to freaking trees to just be natural and to be magnificent at the same time?

What's coming up for you around this? What are you creating now that we're walking this path together as journey partners to releasing faking it, and stepping into an authentic life and business? I'm curious. Go ahead. Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield. Tell me your story.

Perhaps you need help tapping into your creative expression - that flow for you, maybe it's blocked right now. If you just can't see your own perfectly imperfect natural beauty and magnificence, please go to naturalintuition.com. Hop on my calendar by clicking that Contact button, and let's talk about working together so I can support you as your journey partner, okay?

I'm sending you so much love. Do not lose that glow as you're growing in life, in business. Enjoy the journey. I'll see you in the next Love Letter video. Bye for now. --

Just for today...

See the beauty and power in diversity: differing backgrounds, ages, points of view and ideas.

When things don’t go as expected, remember to say to yourself “variety is the spice of life,” and allow the unexpected to create something new, different and magnificent.

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

This is week three of four in our exploration of stopping faking it. It's time; #StopThat.

If you haven't seen the first two parts, by the way, hit pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and click on part one. Start there so that you are grounded in this clearing process that we're going through together.

The topic of this week's Love Letter is self-acceptance. Self-acceptance. If we are going to stop faking it ‘til we make it, and if we are going to let go of being perfect - or let go fighting because we think we're not good enough - if we're going to let go of that fight and put our weapons down to surrender in that fight - I get the chills as I say that for you, sending you so much love around having the courage to put down your weapons and stop fighting to be good enough - if we're going to do that, that means we've got to learn how to practice self-acceptance. Self-acceptance!? What the heck does that mean, Victoria? Does it even exist?

Self-acceptance is, for one - my guides are telling me to tell you this - for one, it is not a single event. Self-acceptance is not like a, “ta-da, I accept myself and then I'm done” sort of single event. No, no, no. Self-acceptance is an ongoing series of choices, observations, and celebrations over and over and over again. And it’s celebrations not only of the good stuff, but also celebrating, “you know what? This about me kind of sucks. Yay. I don't have to have it all figured out.” I'm going to be kind to myself because I accept that I have limitations. There are things that I don't know. There are, in fact, things that I don't know that I don't know. There are things that I don't like.

Believe it or not, there are emotions that I have where I can be mad from time to time, or sad, and I celebrate the dark side to me: the preferences, and the point of view that I have as a unique human being. I do not have to be the way that someone may have told me that I have to be. Repeat: I do not have to be the way that someone told me that I have to be. Instead, I accept myself as I am. Over and over and over again - especially when it's hard to, especially when I don't like myself - this is when I need to celebrate my shortcomings even more.

Now, for those of you who've been following my work or who've known me for quite some time now, you know that my automatic setting right now is Auto Clap, lol, it’s like I'm just on Auto Celebrate. And this behavior is something that I didn't used to have as a person. I used to be pretty gloomy, I had a really, really dark personality earlier in life, but I trained myself over time to look for things to celebrate in all situations.

What that did is it made me emotionally stronger and stronger with time. It helped open my eyes to the good. There's so much good. Even in the darkest things that have ever happened in my life, there has been so much good because I'm set to celebrate, and that setting is an act of self-acceptance that I have been engaging in - that I've been deciding to engage in - over and over and over and over again.

On the other hand, what is also a learned behavior is self-rejection. Be kind to yourself if you are the Queen of self-rejection or the King of denying yourself. Be kind to yourself if you're really, really good at booing yourself before anybody else can, making sure that you put yourself down before anybody else can. Sometimes we learn that as a coping mechanism for growing up and coming up in an abusive environment, so that you can, in a twisted way, empower yourself by hurting yourself first to cut people off at the pass. That behavior, you don't need it anymore. I give you permission, if only just for now to let that go once and for all.

Hey, hey, hold on a sec - you're watching or reading this on a device, right? I'm inside some screen somewhere as you're watching or reading this, so that means we are having a very, very private moment, you and I. No one else can hear or see me like you can right now. So, I want you to know in the bottom of your soul: you don't have to do that twisted stuff anymore to yourself. Today's the day. I know you wouldn’t admit that openly. That’s fine. But if you're watching or reading this, in this very moment, Spirit brought you here, so right now please know you have permission to just let that go completely. You have no more need to beat yourself up at all.

Self-acceptance is what you're called to, and it takes just as much energy as self-rejection. If you were to count how many times a day you put yourself down, sooner or later you'd realize there's a pattern behind that, and that pattern is a learned skill. The opposite is true, right? How many times you celebrate yourself in a day, that's a pattern, too. That is a learned skill, too. That's something that you can build, a muscle that you can grow over time.

So, if only just for today, please know that the name of the game is self-acceptance: to find something at all times - whether it is good or bad - about yourself, as you are, to celebrate, to accept, and to just observe. Doesn't mean you necessarily right out the gate approve of everything. Hey, I’m right there with you. We are human. And at the same time, we are human beings: being willing to celebrate it, being willing to observe it, being willing to see it rather than just stuffing, stuffing, stuffing, stuffing down.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy around that. Healing with the Angels by Doreen Virtue is the deck that we're journeying with all month. Let me ask the fairies. Wait... I said Healing with the Angels? ... autopilot. Oops! It’s Healing with the Fairies oracle cards deck! LOL! I bet you didn't know the difference, though, did you? Ha ha. Maybe you did. I’m so leaving that perfectly imperfect mess up in! I love it... Okay, fairies, what do we need to know about self-acceptance right now? Oh my goddess. Yay, I love this card! Breaking Free. And that's you. Breaking Free - and the fairy on the card is out in the outer realms, arms spread wide, wings all the way up and just flying high, breaking free from everything.

Here's the message from the fairies: you are breaking free in to a new level of self-acceptance, maybe for the first time. Your ability to, as you can, find something to celebrate, find something about yourself to observe and to accept and just see – this is breaking you free. You don't even have to do anything about it. Just observe it. This is you breaking free from the chains that have been holding you down - maybe in life, maybe in your business. One chain at a time, you’re breaking free, breaking free, breaking free. You can do it! You’re doing it!

This is an affirmation from source that you're on the right path. Keep going. And know you’re not alone - I'm your traveling partner, Sensei Victoria Whitfield – on your ascension path in life and business. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week. Let’s keep journeying together.

Hit that share button, by the way, if there's someone that you love and care about who you believe it's time for them to break free, too, send this letter their way. Maybe this might just bless and change their day. And remember to please enjoy the journey. Make sure that you do not lose your glow as you grow in life and business.

I'll see you in the next episode. Bye for now! --

Just for today...

Celebrate the good and the bad about yourself today, in an act of radical self-acceptance and healing.

Honor and appreciate your strengths as well as your weaknesses, acknowledge and announce what you know that you know, as well as what you genuinely don’t know, shame-free.

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

This is week two of four in our exploration of releasing faking it.

This is your time, finally, or maybe for the first time, to release this pattern of “faking it ‘til you make it” so that you can have authentic momentum, authentic growth, and authentic success. Whether it's in your personal or professional life. If you didn't see part one, hit pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com. Click on part one and start from there so that you are grounded in this clearing process that we're going through over these four weeks.

The topic that my guides have asked us to cover this week in particular is the two types of people that you're going to encounter in all of life, but especially when you decide to stop faking it. There are two types of people in life. Now, be kind to yourself. We've all been either type at any given point in time in our lives, but especially when you decide to live a life where you’re going to fake it anymore, where you’re not going to be little Miss or Mr. Perfect, not going to hold back, but are going to be all in, your type shifts. Two types. You ready to write it down? Get your notepad.

The two types are: people who value Clarity, and people who value Comfort. There are two types of people in life. There are those who are valuing and seeking Clarity, and those who are valuing and seeking Comfort. In all things. Now this is super important because as you make the decision to stop faking it, you are moving from one paradigm, where you are valuing and seeking comfort in all the decisions and actions that you make, and you are stepping over into a whole other paradigm, where you are valuing and seeking clarity in all the decisions and actions that you make and take throughout your life and in your business.

Now, this is a tall order. Last week we were already talking about deciding to stop faking it, and how it's time, let's go, let's go, but now on top of that, your orientation, your alignment shifts. If you've been wondering why you're having such a hard time living authentically or stopping faking it, or stopping putting on the show, it's because this is an alignment issue. Are you aligned with comfort and seeking that? Or are you aligned with clarity and seeking that?

If you don't know where you are aligned, look at the decisions that you already have made. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, so as you look back at the decisions that you made, maybe it could be a mixed bag. I'll be honest, I have a bit of a mixed bag of decisions as I look over my shoulder, too. I'm certainly not perfect. There are some choices that are, especially when it comes to food, that sometimes I'm deciding I would like to seek comfort right now, and I'm going to pay for it by going to the gym. Or making sure that I'm shifting my eating back or, well, there's going to be digestive issues as a consequence if I'm basing my decision on comfort to eat something very fatty or full of dairy or wheat and all of that.

I'm going to have consequences of that decision. Whereas if I make the decision - continuing to put this all on me - if I make the decision to choose food that is clarifying, or that gives me clarity that when I eat it so I don't feel tired afterwards, but instead I feel energized afterwards - not because it's artificial but because it's alive, and living food brings your body alive, I know it does for me - then there's also going to be consequences to that.--

Know this: Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, so as you look back at the decisions that you made and ask yourself “did I create Clarity or Comfort with that decision?” #mindset #entrepreneur #personalgrowth @SenseiWhitfield

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

There's consequences on both sides. So, if only just for today, you've got to choose - you and I both - we have got to choose, where are we aligning ourselves? Am I or are you being the type of person who seeks and cultivates clarity and values clarity all the time, or one who seeks and cultivates and values comfort? By the way, and we're going to get a little more into this in the coming weeks, but as I hear the oracle cards - I hear you, I hear you - calling in the energy, be kind to yourself if there are people around you who really value comfort.

Yet while there are people who genuinely value comfort, sometimes you can find yourself, for whatever reason, as a conscious person and a conscious entrepreneur, in really valuing clarity, you’ll end up lording over them, expecting them to be a clarity-oriented person. This is suffering: expecting something else from people who just aren't aligned with that same value. This is going to cause you a lot of suffering, is going to drain a lot of energy from you.

This week in particular, I just want you to be a little bit more vigilant. First of yourself: checking in and asking, “am I being someone, with this decisions or this action that I'm taking, valuing comfort or clarity?” Or you could even, in my case - because this is my journey right now, around food – ask: “am I eating this because I'm seeking comfort or I'm seeking clarity? What am I creating with this decision?” For you it might be something else, such as “with this business decision” or “this investment that I'm making right now.” Ask yourself “am I going for comfort, as I'm investing right now or considering investing, is this something that's going to increase my comfort or my clarity?” It's up to you.

Okay. Let's get to the oracle cards. The oracle cards all month are “Healing With the Fairies” by Doreen Virtue. Let's ask them: “Fairies, what do we need to know right now about the two types of people that are out there? About these value alignments and such.” ... Problem resolved. Check it out, the fairy on the card, she's got a snake of wisdom right there wrapped around her, speaking in her ear. Shedding skin, one of my spirit guides just said. Shedding layers of what you used to be, the smaller you. We're shedding layers of what we used to be.

This is so powerful, and where we'll leave off for the week. This alignment issue is what's going to accelerate your progress. The more that you become aware of clarity versus comfort in the decisions that you are making. This will put you on the path to resolving the problems, the challenges that you've been facing. Choosing that clarity, if you dare, over comfort. Sending you so much love around that.

I'm your traveling partner on this journey so, send me an email back, comment below, let me know what's coming up for you around this. And if you need more support around choosing clarity and aligning with clarity and releasing that addiction to comfort, go ahead on over to naturalintuition.com, click the contact button. Hop on my calendar and let's see about getting you supported and working together.

With that, that's it for this week's episode. Thank you so much for tuning in and watching the Love Letters. It's been eight years. Eight years! Thank you so much for all of your support.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and I will see you in the next one. Bye for now. --

Just for today...

Make time to evaluate what you are valuing and creating in the decisions you make.

See the difference between choosing to create more clarity or more comfort, as you weigh your options.

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

This is week four of our deep dive into conscious relationships and unpacking the different forms of loneliness that conscious entrepreneurs face on the path to rapid financial ascension.

We want to make sure we unpack that and explore it together so that you don't lose your ability to glow as you grow your self and your business. Without further ado, for week four what we're going to be covering in particular is professional loneliness.

As conscious entrepreneurs, from time to time we can continue to put the blinders on in order to be productive. We started to talk a little bit about this last week with the law of distraction. By the way, if you haven't tuned in for that, make sure you stop now, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one so that you are grounded in this process.

We started talking about the law of distraction, where we have these blinders on and we're missing out on the good and blessed people and things that have gathered around us. Also, we were talking about acknowledging and appreciating the platonic relationships that we already have.

But this week in particular, if you are experiencing professional loneliness, what that looks like is feeling like you are deeply alone in your business or deeply alone in your career. Maybe the purpose that you've been driven towards – your calling in life, your professional calling – is one that sets you apart from others. The people in your life, for whatever reason, personally and professionally, aren't fully in alignment with it or can't exactly see the entire vision that you've been blessed with the ability to see just yet.

If that's the case, as always, I'm sending you so much love because it can be such a challenge. It’s a challenge to feel truly grounded and clear when in the past, in order to ground, you've been retreating and pulling away from different relationships. Or maybe you had to leave your corporate position, or a job that you had previously, to really follow your dreams and create a way out of no way for yourself because you woke up. You became conscious, whereas before, you weren't so much. If that's the case, naturally, as you're leaving the comfort zone, you can end up leaving by yourself.

This is especially true for those of us who work from home, or have created our business as a virtual business. Or perhaps you have a home office and you do a lot of the billing, bookkeeping and accounts work from your home while out at your location your employees are doing their work. In this set up, you can feel a bit alone even in the management of your business. Is this sounding familiar?

If this is not for you, no problem. I'm sure you know someone who does feel this, though, because statistics show that 75% of entrepreneurs feel lonely on their journey, and get depressed, as well, on their entrepreneurial ascension path. It's a very real thing. Whether or not you're comfortable bringing this up, we've got to talk about it so that we can ground and clear your blocked energy flow, and get you back to that state of glowing as you grow.

For me, personally, I'm at my eighth year in business and I've had several different locations of the dojo. Where I am writing and filming this blog is the latest iteration of it. At first, I moved in with my mentor. It was wonderful to get to bounce my ideas off of him, and him vice-versa. We could support each other on our ascension paths professionally, every day. Then things changed and he had to manifest a new space to move his business into so that he could take care of his children and run his business in that home.

Once he did, I was with the space by myself. At first, that was so empowering. I was thinking, “oh my goodness, I'm carrying my own office space for the first time in my life!” I was coming to the office, day after day, and there's no one but me. Except for when I was seeing a client.

For those of you who have your own business as a solo entrepreneur – which I was at the time, I didn't have the team that I do now – you know most of your time is spent marketing. That is, if you have any clients. Big hugs and love to you if you're still fighting for your first one. Don't give up. But, most of your time as an entrepreneur is spent marketing. Marketing, marketing, marketing... And not necessarily being with people in your space.

After a while, it can be really quiet and lonely at times. At first, I'm an introvert. I love being by myself. So I lasted a few months. That was pretty good. And then the quiet got too quiet... where I had a harder and harder time focusing. Even though I love doing what I do, it was so difficult to look to my left and look to my right and not have anyone to work around, to work with.

With that being said, what helped me shift – and this is what my guides are suggesting for you right now – was opening up to collaborations and coworking. If you are feeling alone in your business, then maybe it’s time you started opening up to collaborations and coworking, as well as joining an entrepreneur tribe like ours. Meaning, a big group of entrepreneurs that are excited to work together so that they can glow as they grow in life and business, like you. That really started healing it for me. I would invite you to consider that for yourself.

Wherever you're at in your age and stage in business. Whether you are just at the very beginning, where it's startup and you're launching, or you're an established business, and you're looking to take it to the next level, being around others who are at that similar stage or even in all the different other stages is energizing. It's inspiring to see people launching for the first time, really going for it. It's inspiring to see others who are established and, wow, they're breaking through that glass ceiling, moving into higher levels of your realization of their potential. It's a beautiful thing to witness.

But it begins with allowing that feeling of, “you know what? I am alone. I am feeling alone in my business.” Big difference there. What matters most is how you feel. However, you may not actually be alone. Perhaps as the founder, the visionary founder of the business, you're looking to your right and your left and you may have 50 employees but you're still feeling alone because there's no other visionaries for you to resonate with.

Be kind to yourself if that's been your situation. If that's where you're at in your business's development, it's time for you to receive the nourishment of positive community. Through collaborations, coworking, and joining a tribe like ours.

That is why here at the dojo we provide the Abundant Business Circle and the Visionary Shaman Circle so that no conscious entrepreneur goes unsupported, wherever they are at in their level of development. If you're at the startup phase, just getting used to attracting and receiving clients, that's the Abundant Business Circle. We support each other in that shift with our financial healing circles. You get to see everyone's faces, and network, and connect with others who are there with you, too. Or if you're in an established business looking to ascend through your upper limits in life and business, especially by rooting deeper down into your spiritual health, that's the visionary shaman circle for you. Both are nationwide, worldwide tribes. Thanks to the internet.

It's great to have these love letters, of course. I'm here sending you lots of love in your email inbox, or in your YouTube feed. Wherever you're picking up what I'm putting down, wherever you're finding this. But it's a whole other level of emotional nourishment when you allow yourself to get into the group and join the tribe. I highly recommend you reach out to us at naturalintuition.com, hit that Contact button and let's talk about you becoming part of our community.

With that being said, I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. The Romance Angels is who we've been journeying with all month. This deck is by Doreen Virtue. Let’s pull a card for professional loneliness, being kind to ourselves, allowing that feeling, and drawing a line in the sand, saying, "I don't like how this feels. I'm aware that this doesn't feel good. I want to change it. I want an overabundance of juicy, joyful, professional relationships. And so it is."

Angels, what do we need to know right now about manifesting that? ...Oh, I had a feeling that this was going to come out before I hit record. Codependency. Addictions are affecting your romantic life. What a can of worms to open up, angels! What the heck? LOL! This is where we're going to leave off for the week. If you are experiencing professional loneliness, this is two-fold.

On one hand, your workaholism, your addiction to micromanaging and addiction to perfection, is making the world unbearably small for you. If you're feeling that exhaustion coming from professional loneliness, it's because you've become codependent with workaholism. You're addicted to it and being sucked into that vortex. If that's your situation, if you're a workaholic, you need positive community of other entrepreneurs who are demonstrating what it's like to glow *as* they grow their business rather than to burn out as they grow their business, then apply to join the tribe now.

On the other side, this also affects our romantic life. The professional achievements that we have as entrepreneurs can sometimes give us that hit of dopamine. It is so fulfilling that causes us to focus only on our work instead of the love of our lives. Be careful about that. It's another sign of being a workaholic that your love relationships and your friendships are suffering because the business is eating up all of your time and emotional energy.

Again, if this is happening in your life, then apply to join the tribe now. Collaborate and connect with others who are happily married, have wonderful friends, and are demonstrating a healthy business that is growing by leaps and bounds. Being around others who are demonstrating this lifestyle will teach you how to make that happen for yourself, and how to truly enjoy the journey.

By the way, let me know what comes up for you around this. Send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com if you'd like to email me privately and directly; that'll come straight to me through my team. By the way, hit subscribe on YouTube so you get these love letters first every single week.

Hit the SHARE button, and make sure someone who has a business knows to not overwork themselves. We will see you in the next one. Thank you so much.

I appreciate you so much for tuning in to these love letters every week. Bye for now.

Then seek out and join an entrepreneur tribe, like our Visionary Shaman Circle and Strategic Spa Retreats, to feel surrounded by fellow spiritual entrepreneurs who fill your cup.

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

This is your source for channeled holisticstress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.</p> <p>The title of this podcast episode is<span> </span><strong>Better Than Passive Income</strong>.</p> <p>So, I was just getting back now from travelling for a software conference. I travel quite a bit to go networking as well as for learning more about how to better serve you, how to serve more people in my purpose as the world’s first Business Reiki Master.</p> <p>One of the ways that I do that is by improving my software skills because I have an online business. And at this software conference there was a really awesome speaker named Caleb Maddix and he was sharing his story about how he got involved in online coaching in the first place, how he shifted to really being passionate about personal development for young people - as in personal development, confidence, personal growth, money mindset, business mindset, communication skills etc. for children and people who are younger than 18 years old.</p> <p>It was riveting to watch Caleb on stage - who is now a teenage multimillionaire - rock the room with his years of speaking and internet marketing experience. He started as a child with a message for other kids on YouTube, and has now become quite an incredible global brand.</p> <p>During his talk though, the one nugget of wisdom that she shared that hit me the hardest was how he stumbled upon something even better than passive income, as a growing, conscious entrepreneur.</p> <p>Let's talk about it!</p> <p><!-- /divi:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- divi:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /divi:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- divi:more --><br /><span id="more-8688"></span><br /><!-- /divi:more --></p> <p><!-- divi:heading --></p> <h2>iOS Users: Listen on iTunes</h2> <p><!-- /divi:heading --></p> <p><!-- divi:heading --></p> <h2><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/journeypreneur-podcast/id1470678620?i=1000449400042" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" width="200" height="69" class="wp-image-7682" style="width: 200px;" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/585bbb44cb11b227491c32b1.png" alt="" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/585bbb44cb11b227491c32b1.png 530w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/585bbb44cb11b227491c32b1-300x103.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></a><a href="https://ctt.ec/9tT1G" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></h2> <p><!-- /divi:heading --></p> <p><!-- divi:heading --></p> <h2>Android Users: Listen on Podbean</h2> <p><!-- /divi:heading --></p> <p><!-- divi:heading --></p> <h2><a href="https://journeypreneur.podbean.com/e/better-than-passive-income-journeypreneur-podcast-ep-59/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" width="200" height="74" class="wp-image-7683" style="width: 200px;" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/537775.png" alt="" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/537775.png 600w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/537775-300x111.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></a><a href="https://ctt.ec/9tT1G" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></h2> <p><!-- /divi:heading --></p> <p><!-- divi:paragraph --><strong><a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com">VictoriaWhitfield.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield">Facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield</a></strong><br /><strong><a href="http://Linkedin.com/in/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Linkedin.com/in/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SenseiVictoriaWhitfieldWestfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Youtube.com/c/SenseiVictoriaWhitfieldWestfield</a><br /><a href="http://Instagram.com/SenseiWhitfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram.com/SenseiWhitfield</a><br /><a href="http://Twitter.com/SenseiWhitfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter.com/SenseiWhitfield</a></strong></p> <p><!-- /divi:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- divi:paragraph --><strong>SHARE THIS!

<![CDATA[ <div class="et-l et-l--post"> <div class="et_builder_inner_content et_pb_gutters3"> <iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pglw18mVD7Y?rel=0” frameborder=" width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <h2><strong>This is the fifth and final week of our exploration of vulnerability, cultivating our relationship with being vulnerable and improving our ability to engage and open up in a positive way, maybe for the first time. </strong></h2> <p>Now if this is the first video that you're seeing in this series, make sure that you hit pause, go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one, so that you are grounded in this process. Without further ado, this week in particular for the fifth and final week of our discussion on vulnerability, my spirit guides have asked us to discuss vulnerable leadership.</p> <p><strong>Last week, we talked about the power of opening up as an empath to being vulnerable, so that we can better relate to and interact with the people and things that we care about in this lifetime.</strong> We talked about respecting our energy as empaths, but also not letting our sensitivity dominate us in this lifetime – claiming that as a power, rather than a disability – or be something that you're constantly afraid of or overly protecting yourself from. This week, however, we're going even farther into vulnerability as a power and applying it to leadership.</p> <p>A wonderful role model of vulnerable leadership and someone who's a thought leader in this area, two people actually, I would have to say one is Simon Sinek and the other is Brene Brown. If you have not checked out their work, I highly recommend it. They have amazing, inspiring, empowering things to share with you around vulnerable leadership and how healing it is especially in the professional world.</p> <p><strong>The most painful thing that I've seen is how insensitive leadership destroys powerful teams that have become like family and overcome the most incredible odds together.</strong> These things that come from the top-down in corporate – restructuring, or layoffs, or whatever hot word they use to explain being insensitive to the needs and the preciousness of the relationships of the people that are working under them – it's incredible how destructive they can be.</p> <p>I grew up watching my mother re-enter the workforce after 17 years as a homemaker to work for a certain corporation as a technical writer, and then a web developer, and coder for over 20 years. I remember as a kid going to their picnics and things and seeing all of these people that she worked with like my extended family, and feeling part of something bigger; seeing them laughing, and supporting one another. ...Then I also lived through, as a young woman, watching them be torn apart, seeing the stress, and the pain of those wonderful relationships being just torn apart, torn apart by restructuring or “re-orgs” as the company would say. I'm not going to say what company because I want to respect privacy here.</p> <p><strong>Maybe you've seen this happen in your family – your work family – or your corporation as well, this being torn apart by insensitive leadership, putting numbers before people, or putting self-protection first, which is something that we hinted at last week.</strong> Let's go into it this time for our final discussion: the toxic effects of putting self-protection before serving their community around us.</p> <p>We can get protection-obsessed especially in the professional world because for some reason we allow money and numbers to make us paranoid and prioritize dollars and quotas, and metrics above people, relationships, health and mutual human respect. Be kind to yourself if this is something that you've witnessed happening and that you don't want to be a part of any longer. If only just for today, commit to being open as a leader. Commit to developing your ability to be vulnerable along with the people who you are leading.</p> <p><strong>Simon Sinek gives us a wonderful example of how to measure how open-hearted you are as a leader.</strong> Leaders, he says, are people who watch out for the people to the right and to the left of them. That is it. It has nothing to do with titles, what's on your business card, or what your website says, or how big your office is, or how big your bank account is, or not. It's who are you being on a moment-to-moment basis. In order to look out for, to take care of, the people to the left and to the right of you, you've got to be open to what's going on with them, rather than just what's going on with “Me” and making sure that I'm getting x, y, z done, and so on.</p> <p>It is a mental acrobatic that you do at first to decide, “I'm going to be concerned, and open, and curious, and communicative with the people that are to the left and to the right of me. The people that are supporting me, I am going to support them. I'm going to be open to how do they feel right now. I'm going to ask them, ‘how are you feeling? Are you all right?’ and loving and supporting them in that.”</p> <p><strong>Coming from a space of your own center of love and support and not forgetting that you as a leader have needs and have feelings is also important, which is something that we also discussed last week, opening to the fact that I have feelings, too, as an Empath.</strong> As someone who supports others, I have feelings. I have needs, and they have got to be honored and respected by me first and then also the people that I'm sharing this life experience with.</p> <p>Be kind to yourself if in trying to be a vulnerable leader, meaning someone who is present to and caring for the people who are in your care, you've sacrificed your own self-care. That is negative vulnerable leadership because it leaves you open to health problems, relationship problems, spiritual and emotion oppression, depression. Be kind to yourself. That leaves you negatively vulnerable.</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How can we then as leaders, moreover as Healing Leaders (that's my term) on this planet, how can we open up to leading from the heart, leading with courage, and positive vulnerability?</strong> I’m curious, what does that look like? Positive, vulnerable leadership, is healing leadership. I would venture that it starts with healing self, first, and staying open to being present to those that are in our care, who are supporting us, who are following us, and share the same beliefs and vision that we have. We're all working together in one direction. At the same time, there's the person out in front who holds the vision, being the Visionary. --</span></p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: </strong></h2> <h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/78CUe"><strong>Know this: Be kind to yourself if in trying to be a vulnerable leader, meaning someone who is present to and caring for the people who are in your care, you've sacrificed your own self-care. &nbsp;#empath #entrepreneur #workaholic @SenseiWhitfield</strong></a></h2> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation: <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40"></a> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p>Are you healing? Are you present to yourself? Okay, if you are, you're doing your self-care, you're doing your spiritual nourishment, your physical nourishment and love. Good. And are you present to the people around you needing the same, just as much love, and approval, and support, and honor as you're showing yourself? Are they also learning how to do that for the people behind them as well?</p> <p><strong>Be a Healing Leader.</strong> It entails being open to being vulnerable, cultivating that ability to be vulnerable, but if only just for today, commit to being a healing leader by opening to being vulnerable in a positive and empowering way.</p> <p>I'm hearing the Oracle cards like, "Hey, pick us!" It's Healing with the Angels oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue, her very first oracle cards deck that she ever made in her career. Angels, what do we need to know right now about stepping into healing leadership by embodying being positive, vulnerable leaders? ...This is so good, like I could literally do an entire summit on this, “listening.” Listening! This is so perfect. I love that in the picture, she's listening to her angels, and her angels are listening to her. I'm going to read, I don't really have to, but before I read I just want to tell you what I'm hearing from my spirit guides around listening.</p> <p><strong>The most powerful leaders I've ever followed in my own life have been profound listeners, profound.</strong> Having the courage to listen to your people as a leader is essential. God, She gave us two ears and one mouth. We've got to listen twice as much as we give directions and directives. Anyway, let’s start listening. Let me read:</p> <p><em>Listening. You are in communication with your angels and the messages that you are receiving are very real indeed. Trust them. This card is a validation from your angels that you really are hearing them. You have been receiving repetitive messages through your feelings, dreams, visions, inner voice, or knowingness. Are you listening and trusting these messages? Are you following them? If you get an inclination to call someone, go somewhere, or read something, it's important to follow this guidance. By drawing this card, your angels ask you to give all your doubts or worries about divine guidance to them. Know that you truly are communicating with heaven and enjoy the conversations. </em></p> <p><strong>This is so perfect. Here's where we'll leave off for this entire series: Cultivating your listening sense.</strong> Your active listening is also cultivating positive vulnerability. If you are not comfortable listening to others, or you feel impatient, it's just because you haven't cultivated listening as a skill. It's just a skill that you're a little bit deficient in. If you just dedicate time and mental space to it, it gets easier and more pleasurable with time.</p> <p>If you need to work on your listening skills, I highly recommend my book <em>Natural Intuition Now</em>. I take you step by step exactly through how to listen with presence and also why it is so important. The more that we become intuitive, open, vulnerable, healing and empowered leaders, the better our world becomes, the better the legacy of love becomes that we leave behind us in all the work that we do and all the people, all the lives that we touch.</p> <p><strong>Send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfiled.com. </strong>What's coming up for you around this? Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get Love Letters first every single week. Tag someone who needs to hear this, and I will see you in the next one.</p> <p><strong>May you feel loved and safe to be your most brilliant self at work. </strong></p> <p>Please, enjoy the journey. Muah. See you soon. <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Challenge yourself to actively listen twice as much as you speak, when in conversations and meetings.</h3> <h3>Listen to your body, your feelings, others’ bodies and feelings, and shine the light of your attention on the things left unsaid by all involved in the conversation (yourself included).</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> <strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.

We've been at this for four weeks, exploring letting go, this fine art and journey of being able to let go finally. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Is it letting go of an employee? Is it letting go of a relationship, letting go of excess weight right from your body, or letting go of clutter and stuff in your house and office, or in your car?</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you haven't caught the other weeks, go back on YouTube. Put my name in, or check me out on VictoriaWhitfield.com. They're all listed there on the block right there, VictoriaWhitfield.com.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">This week though is our final resting point for letting go. This is where we step into being someone who is comfortable with letting go. This is specifically around recycling. Week one was release. Week two was receive, the courage to receive what we already have. Because of that we now are capable of being in a state of constant recycling of energy. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Now pause for a second. Next month is July at the filming of this video. Every July I host a three-day live ocean side retreat here in New Jersey called the Deep Dive Retreat, letting for healers. This whole month, surprise, surprise, we've actually been covering everything that we go through at the retreat.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now I take people who attend through immersive, interactive experiences of the teachings rather than just you sitting and listening. If you would love to really anchor the teachings of letting go, grab a friend and join us down the shore in New Jersey every July. Head on over to VictoriaWhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat, all one word for details on that, for the location and all the logistics that you need in order to join us. We're talking about being someone who is comfortable, always in a state of receiving and releasing, receiving and releasing, which is recycling, recycling. Do it with me. Be recycling.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Now with that, it's harder to hold on than to let go. When it comes to energy expenditure, you're working harder, holding on, holding on than letting go. One of the things that makes letting go so easy is to know that what you're letting go of is going somewhere.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you don't know that there's a better place for that employee to be working at, or someone who would love to be with this person, or who would love to enjoy that sofa, or these books that you've been holding onto as clutter. If you didn't know that, it would only be dependent upon you and your mindset, your perspective to enter the cycle of life.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Throughout all of nature recycling is the status quo. Nature is interdependent, and the way that resources, and nutrients, and life is shared throughout all of nature is following the cycle. A great illustration of this is when I was in Sedona years ago. A park ranger explained to me that forest fires are good for forests. That blew my mind. He was like, </strong></span><em><strong><span style="color: #000000;">"Yeah, our forests over here are much healthier than over there in New Jersey because the trees have space to breathe."</span><br /> </strong> </em></span></p> <p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p> <h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/RK7U6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Know this:&nbsp;Forest fires are good for trees, because the ashes nourish the soil. Be open to letting go and allowing setbacks to fuel your reinvention.</a></h2> <h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/RK7U6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64"></a></h2> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Every so often the forest will have a natural forest fire. The lightning hits, and it ignites the leaves and the brush, and then it catches. The trees with the deepest roots are the ones that remain where the excess is let go. The reason why this is good is not because only the strongest survive. No, the reason why is because when those excess trees burn down the ashes nourish the soil, and that's what causes new life to grow so abundantly.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Where do you in your life and business right now need to open to recycling? Could it be an equipment or paper, et cetera, thinking in terms of physical items recycling, letting go, so that you can receive, and so that others can receive those items, and make better us of them, or take them apart into their components. Then someone else can make better use of them, or are there practices even, or foods, and behaviors that we're engaging in and taking into our bodies, minds, and time that are clogging up the lines?</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">How can you, this week in particular, let those go in a way that is constructive by recycling or upcycling? Could it be donating that food that is no longer healthy for your body, but the homeless could appreciate that, donating that food, getting it out of the house? Could it be telling your story, so that what happened to you in the past no longer has power over you but instead edifies someone else because they don't have to go through that because they received your wisdom? How is recycling coming up for you, and how will you step into being one who does that?</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>My oracle cards are calling in the energy. Angels are going to help us out, indigo angels. This is the deck we've been journeying with all month. What do we need to do know about this week, stepping into being someone who regularly recycles that which no longer serves, to help us to let go?</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Okay. Hello. Archangel Metatron is the card that comes forward in particular, and I don't normally read, but my guides are telling me read this entry. </span><span class="s1">Archangel Metatron, the first angel on the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah keeps those who are newly upon the spiritual path. He oversees Indigos, highly intuitive individuals and ensures that they're spiritual gifts stay open and active. Like all archangels, Metatron is unlimited and able to be with everyone who calls upon him. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>This card asks you to work with Archangel Metatron in your daily life to welcome messages and signs confirming to you that you are perfect no matter what. My guide said, <em>"Stop."</em> That's what we were looking for.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Archangel Metatron is coming forward to let you know that it is safe for you to release whatever is coming up, if it's person, place, thing, or practice, and give it to the greater good. Release them back into the wild because you are perfect just the way you are. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>When you give knowing that it's going somewhere, like recycling, in the form of recycling, it immediately calls to you that type of abundant blessing where someone at a higher vibration who no longer needs that endowment of money, or who no longer needs that amazing assistant is able to send them your way, or who no longer needs that wonderful man, or woman, or doggie if you're a pet parent, who no longer can take them any longer, or their journey has finally come to an end, you get to benefit from them.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now what's coming up for you hearing all of this? What are you afraid of especially? Type that in the comments below around what are you afraid of, or resistant to around recycling, and being someone who's comfortable letting go on a regular basis. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now again, we're going to go into this in-depth at the Deep Drive Retreat in July. Go ahead to VictoriaWhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat, and we'll see you there. Ready for it, muah. See you next week. </span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com">VictoriaWhitfield.com</a></strong></p> <p class="p1"><strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield">Facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield</a></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Just for Today...</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Open the flow of abundance by recycling who and what no longer serves you.</strong></p> <p><strong>Release people, places, things and practices that clutter your time and space.</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Notice how you feel at that moment - you're already healing!</em></strong></p> <h2></h2> <p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>SHARE THIS!

This is the month that we're gonna do it. Let it go. So if you have not seen the previous two weeks, go ahead. Hit stop. Go back on my YouTube channel, right, just put in Sensei Victoria Whitfield on YouTube. I'll come right up. Or you can see the posts on VictoriaWhitfield.com at my blog. Catch up so that you can see what's going on.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Now this is receive week. When it comes to letting go, it's important to know that we're engaging letting go as part of a cycle, and in particular, the guides wanted to bring forward the concept of emotional digestion for you. So last week, we talked about release and constipation. Make sure you see that video, so it puts this a little more in context.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">But this week in particular, we're talking about the opposite, right, receiving and being able to digest that which we are receiving, especially emotionally. So how many times in conscious business, or our conscious business lifestyle, do we just acquire, acquire, acquire resources. In fact, that's the hallmark of you being a conscious business owner or you being a conscious person, right, if you're not someone who is owning a business, but keeping up with the love letters. Mwah to you as well. You're welcome here. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">So the hallmark of someone awake and spiritually aware is that they are open to receive resources. So the books, the programs, right, the ... I was about to say the tapes. Who acquires tapes anymore? </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>But the certifications, right, yoga, or reiki, EFT, NLP, all the different certifications, the coaching certifications that we're acquiring resources. We're acquiring coaches and advisors, and networks and support groups, a sign that you're waking up and on your path to developing yourself spiritually and being conscious in this lifetime is that you are open to receive nourishing input.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">However, there comes a point in our growth cycle, whether as an individual or as a business or a business owner, solopreneur, that we've become addicted to self help and addicted to resource acquisition. <em>"Oh my God. So and so's running a new program. I gotta go buy it."</em> Don't read any of the content. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Maybe go to some of the meetings, but don't really do anything in the program. Or <em>"Oh my God. Look at this new product. I love it. It looks like the solution to my problems."</em> And then we buy it, and then it's over, and it sits on the shelf. Maybe you even buy too much food each week, and that, especially with the salad. Guilty as charged, right, it will run out, and it'll expire, or it just sits on the shelf gathering dust.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">If that's you, where you start things, but aren't finishing them, like every entrepreneur ever ... Right there with you. This is a sign that it's time for you to start practicing digestion in your receiving. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span class="s1">You know, it's one thing to do like the money affirmations, right, our love affirmations, and all of that, or <em>"Oh, I want more clients. I want more clients. I want more clients. I got ya Abraham. I believe. I believe."</em> And we keep acquiring people, but are we keeping them? Are we acquiring lots of connections but not activating them? Be kind to yourself if this is what has been your situation.</span></strong></span></p> <p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p> <h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ac/1cI70">Know this: You are enough. Love yourself enough to stop acquiring more, and instead go back and finish what you've started.</a></h2> <h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ac/1cI70"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">I know for me personally, I'm on this journey right there with you this month. I keep acquiring business cards at networking events. But do I do anything with them? Well, we're changing that this week, thanks to my assistant. But up until now, oh my gosh. I have such a backlog of information that I have not digested. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>And this is your assignment for this week in particular from the guides, is to take time and digest. Believe it or not, if you stopped marketing, if you stopped looking for the love of your life, if you stopped acquiring acquiring, right, you would be forced to turn around and appreciate how much you already have. In fact, you would maximize the incredible amount of resource that you've already been gifted with. And I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Come a little bit closer. Indigo angels. Indigo angels.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Supporting us in emotional digestion. If you're feeling like you can't let go, you can't let go, you can't let go, then that means there's more to receive from that emotion. There's more to learn, more to digest. Perhaps that's journaling. Perhaps that's talk therapy, coming in for a Reiki session here, or joining one of the groups online, so that you can digest the incredible abundance of support and wisdom that you already have. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span class="s1">My guides just told me to say, before I pull this card, you are enough. You're enough already. Love yourself. Couldn't be more in alignment, right? I just got a challenge in there. She's like, <em>"Yeah we can."</em> Thanks angels. So the love yourself card is coming forward to really boost your courage to engage digestion this week. So it takes courage to stop signing up for new programs, right, or to stop acquiring more resources, and go back and finish what you started. If only just for now, love yourself enough to digest the nutrients that you've been intaking. Receive that. Let go of the addiction to acquiring more.</span></strong></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now, let me know what's coming up for you. This is a two way conversation. So comment below, or send me an email back at VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact. All my info's there. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>And if you know somebody who keeps acquiring more certifications or keeps reaching for more, and more, and more, and more, share this with them.</strong> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Forward this video to them and let them know that they can love themselves enough just as they are, to digest and appreciate all the resources they already have. You're enough. Mwah. We'll see you next week for our fourth and final installment.

Healing the bad, crusty experiences that we've had in the past.</strong></h2> <p>If this is the first video that you are seeing in this series, make sure you hit pause, and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com so that you start from part one and are grounded in this process.</p> <p><strong>Without further ado, for week four of four, the guides have asked us to continue the conversation that we started last week, and specifically talk about sales as healing. </strong>Sales as healing? Holy tomato! For some people, that's about the most opposite possible thing that they could think of when they think of sales. “Are you kidding me? Sales is like you're raiding and pillaging everyone. It's like an attack.”</p> <p>Sales can be perceived as an attack, and if we've had some negative experiences in the past, in those really powerful transformational moments that come up for us regarding a larger sale such as buying a house or a car, or a coaching program, or a new building, and so on and so forth. If someone's done you wrong in that level sale, that scar runs deep, but in the words of Robert Bly from <em>Iron John</em>- which is amazing if you haven't read it yet – “Every wound is a womb.” Every wound is a womb.</p> <p><strong>The wounds that we may have received in our past of sales not going very well for ourselves or being done to us - or even witnessing sales happening between others that aren’t ethical - every wound that we receive is actually a womb.&nbsp;</strong>And what is a womb? It's a place where new life is created, so that's why we're talking about sales as healing. These wounds that we've received over the course of engaging in commerce are sacred, whether you are an entrepreneur or not. You don't have to own a business to have engaged in the sale. Anything you have, the clothes on your back, glasses, the shoes, underpants on your butt (hopefully, you're not wearing any? No judgment.) you have that because someone sold it to you.</p> <p>You live in this house because someone sold it. Be kind to yourself. Your education, you have it because someone sold you on having education. But at the same time some of those experiences of being sold, being brought from one paradigm to another through a sale - a sale bridges gaps - that paradigm shift can be a bit traumatic.</p> <p><strong>But I want to elevate to this vision that the guides are sending for us right now of sales as something entirely different: sales is healing.&nbsp;</strong>I really want to drop into my heart and be blunt right now with you, because a lot of my lists of people who are watching these videos, following on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or wherever you are, if it's just landed into your inbox or someone forwarded me to you: nine times out of 10 you're some sort of a teacher, coach, healer, or a caregiver of some sort, right? You support people. You offer a healing presence.</p> <p>If you are watching or reading this right now, whether you're a hairdresser cutting hair, an accountant doing taxes, or a lawyer working through your cases, whether you're working in construction, or you're like a transformational women's divine feminine coach goddess, or some other service-based business in addition to all of the above. If you're watching and still reading this right now, what magnetized you is not just my lovely exciting shirt and sparkly energy, but it's the fact that you see a piece of you in me. By the way, likewise; I see a piece of myself in you, in that we are Healers. We're here to heal the world. We're here to bring healing presence.</p> <p><strong>If you are having a hard time receiving financial abundance, it's because you have not shifted your point of view yet around sales.&nbsp;</strong>You haven't shifted it yet to see sales as healing. Sales is healing. Now, I'm a Reiki Master, an alternative medicine energy healer. I'm a woo-woo person, and proudly wave my rainbow woo-woo flag. I’m down with unicorns and glitter and high vibrational multi-dimensional energy - all of that, 100%. And the only way that I am able to share all that woo-woo goodness juice with the people who are starving and dried out and like desperate for it – they’re spiritually dehydrated. They need the juice. - is if I get out there and share my gift. If I get out, open up and talk about who I am and what I do, and what I can do for you. That's the purpose of sales.</p> <p>Sales is actually healing for the people who are thirsty for the juice that you have created. I'm not talking about selling people stuff that they don't need. That can actually turn more into an addiction. I mean, hey, I have an addictive personality. Let me pull myself out the closet and like flap that in the air for you, okay? So yeah, I can have an addictive personality where, oh my gosh, I just want to go, I want to buy a bunch of stuff to alleviate my frustration right now. I want to buy a bunch of information courses and a bunch of books, and a bunch of crystals, right? Maybe that's been you before, and to some extent the things that I'm drawn to are what I need in the moment.</p> <p><strong>And those people who are out there selling the crystals, the necklaces, the books, the audio courses, the things that are going to lift me back up, I thank the Goddess for them.&nbsp;</strong>But I'm not going to be going out there and buying like, you know, sprockets and light bulbs and tires and things when I'm in my emotional state searching for a certain thing. If I need energy, I'm going to go out there looking for things that are going to give me energy for what I'm looking for.<br /> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: <a href="https://ctt.ac/l5KwH"> If you are having a hard time receiving financial abundance, it's because you have not shifted your point of view yet around sales.You haven't shifted it yet to see sales as healing. #entrepreneur #empath #wellness @SenseiWhitfield</a></strong></h2> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span><br /> Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:<br /> <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40"></a><br /> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p>That's the key for sales being healing. It's you putting out “what am I going to help people with? And here it is.” I really appreciate Russell Brunson, his concept of having a Bridge to help us get from that state of “Alright already! I'm in frustration and in trouble” to “here, let's talk about the sale.” Having a Bridge is what's going to help you engage more sales as the healing part of your business. It not only heals your bank account when you close successful sales, but it also is healing for the clients and customers who are receiving exactly what they need.</p> <p><strong>Having a Bridge, and this comes from Russell Brunson, is to have a phrase that helps anchor in the fact that you are here to help them, and you have something that you would like to help them with. </strong>So what is that phrase? It could be asking for permission of someone who, you know, if you're out sharing your gifts and you see they could really use what you are providing, say, "Hey, I see that you have this situation going on. Is it okay if I share with you something that I put together to make things easier for you?” Or, “I put something together to serve you, and I was wondering if you would want to hear more about it?"</p> <p>Ask for permission. <em>Sales is healing when you always ask permission, first.</em>You want to get consent in guiding someone through their paradigm shift, because the worst thing is pushing someone into a paradigm shift who doesn't want it and isn't ready for it. Sales is healing because we raise the buyer’s vibration. We help people into a new, more empowered reality as long as you're doing it ethically. When done unethically, unfortunately it can become like what we've been talking about for the last few weeks: something that is much more of a scarring experience.</p> <p><strong>Now, you've got to remember to turn on your natural intuition</strong>. Tune into your body. Clear your energy. Listen to your heart. If you feel your heart opening towards someone, feeling compassionate and wanting to help them, listen to that desire, that sensation of oh my goodness, I really want to help them. I feel for them. That's a sign from the Universe to actually take out your bridge, bring it over to them and say, "Hey, I see you're going through this situation. I know about something that could help you”, or “I put this thing together that could really make it easier for you. Is it okay if I share it with you?" Get their consent, and then go ahead, honor them by giving them access to the thing that will help them the most. Sales is so incredibly, powerfully healing. Comment below, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Let me know what's coming up for you around this.</p> <p><strong>For now we're going to jump into the Oracle cards.&nbsp;</strong>The deck that we've been journeying with is <em>Angels of Abundance&nbsp;</em>by Doreen Virtue, these Oracle cards of Doreen with her son Grant. “Alright, Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about sales as healing and how to activate our natural intuition now, other than reading Victoria's book?” ...Oh, snap. Throwing down some serious love bombs.</p> <p><em>Face your financial fears. When you are honest with yourself about fears of success or failure, honest with yourself, they can no longer control you. Be free of hidden fears by exposing them to the light of awareness, and you'll realize that you in fact have nothing to fear, and that every successful person has struggled with and releases these self-doubts.&nbsp;</em>This is where we're going to leave off for the week. The perfect landing point for this series.</p> <p><strong>You know, when you release fear around sales, receiving more or delivering more sales conversations, when you release that fear and you have faith that this is actually a healing going on, all of that momentum around blocking abundance lifts.&nbsp;</strong>Have faith that what you are sharing is healing. Focus on the healing. Don't focus on your fear or on your self-doubt. That'll sabotage you. You'll end up self-sabotaging.</p> <p>Do the inner work first, though, to get yourself into a space of total faith in the work that you do or in the product that you're talking about. Do the inner work around understanding that when you go into a sales conversation, or when someone's trying to engage you in that, there's a healing going on. Be open to receiving or giving the healing more so than the money, okay? Be more focused on the healing work than the finances, and nine times out of 10 you'll end up closing the sale and the finances will come.</p> <p><strong>Be kind to yourself if you're afraid of focusing on the healing because you're so afraid of the money. If that's your case, please reach out to me at www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact&nbsp;</strong>You can hop on the phone with me and we'll be able to get you sorted and see how we can best support you moving through that fear of receiving.</p> <p>I'm sending you so much love, blessings and abundance, and I'll see you in the next one.</p> <p><strong>May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey.</strong></p> <p>Bye for now.</p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Commit to shifting your mindset around sales as healing instead of sales as an attack.</h3> <h3>Face and take ownership of the parts that make you the most uncomfortable about sales, and see them as wounds where healing can grow.</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p><strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.

I’m no expert and I don’t know everything. But after all of the hundreds of entrepreneurs that I have served, hugged and loved on and encouraged to glow, as they grow their businesses, I’ve noticed that this topic in particular comes up all the time and it's killing me! I'm so excited to get to talk to you about it.</p> <p><strong>So many people have this idea that money is not spiritual, and because of that assumption, they think X, Y and Z.&nbsp;</strong>Therefore, I can't buy this program. Therefore, I can't sell my services. Therefore, I shouldn't have more money than my husband. Therefore, as a healer, I should be struggling, or as I'm an artist, I should be struggling. It should be HARD, things should be HARD. I gotta work HARD in order to be acceptable, successful, respectable. Blah, blah, blah. 😉</p> <p>I love you and in the next few weeks, we are going to be busting through this limiting belief. We have got to bust through this limiting belief. And it's all starting with: money is not spiritual. &nbsp;Now I am only a Reiki Master Teacher four times over and I'm only the world's first business Reiki master (which means I ground and clear the energy of business owners in particular; their chakras, their energy centers, their flow of wealth and abundance and love and health through them). I don’t know everything. And however, I do know that money is absolutely essential. So much that we have got to talk about it. When you start doing yoga, when you start meditating, you start learning about the mind-body connection. You also start learning about something called Energy and how energy is everything.</p> <p><strong>“Your vibe attracts your tribe”, does that sound familiar to you?&nbsp;</strong>That phrase. Or “raise your vibrations”, “raise your standards”, “get into a peak state” as Tony Robbins would say, or “get into the vortex”, as Abraham Hicks would say, or “love and approve of yourself” as Louise Hay would say? All of these phrases convey that Energy is so important. How we manage our personal energy not only affects our physical health, our emotional health and wellbeing, but it also affects our attractiveness to love, relationships and even opportunities to make money. If you are not in alignment with receiving more wealth and abundance; if you perceive the acquisition of wealth and abundance as evil or not spiritual, and therefore repulsive, you repel it.</p> <p><em>"Oh those rich people. They are so sinful. I am so righteous because I work hard and don’t rock the boat,"</em>we are taught to think. If that’s what you’re saying to yourself, then with love and respect, I've gotta break this to you: you are saying that to get YOU off the hook from serving more people. We look down on, as a society, and demonize people who are highly successful, who are producers in the marketplace. We look down on and demonize sales people, to let ourselves off the hook, so that we feel more significant for Not getting in the game and serving more people.</p> <p><strong>The only reason that, Mark Zuckerberg, or Jeff Bezos, or Oprah, or Marie Forleo, or whoever has more money than you is because they serve more people. That’s it.&nbsp;</strong>Of course they make more money! The money is just a reflection of the impact that they are making out there in the world. Thank you, Fabienne Fredrickson, by the way, for making that crystal clear to me years ago - and if you haven't checked her out, I highly recommend her work: visit Boldheart.com for more info. But for all of those of you out there who are afraid to ask for help, to ask for donations for your non-profit, and who are afraid to ask for the sale or afraid to put yourself out there and share the things that you believe in, please know that money is deeply spiritual because <em>money is energy</em>. It is an amplifier.</p> <p>Money is am amplifier. Who you were before you had the money is only going to become even bigger, once you do. So that's why there are people who have terrible personalities with tons of attention on them having a terrible personality as they are doing terrible things in the world; it’s because before they had all that energy, all of that resource of money behind them, they were already not so high vibe, they were already terrible (lol).</p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: <a href="https://ctt.ac/LDfKS">Know this: Money is am amplifier. Who you were before you had the money is only going to become even bigger, once you do. #success #entrepreneur #abundance @SenseiWhitfield</a></strong></h2> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span><br /> Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:<br /> <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40"></a><br /> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p><strong>But to the people who are good and loving, generous and excited to serve, or who are positive and ready to do awesome and bright things in the world: when they get more money, they just do more of it.&nbsp;</strong>They start building schools in the most challenged parts of the world. They start bringing water to the people who have no access to water. They build places where water can be brought to them. I read an article that Akon the singer has privately brought electricity to hundreds of millions of people in Africa using the proceeds from his songs. Good gets greater when you add in money, and is that not a beautiful, <em>spiritual</em>result?</p> <p>Allow yourself to anchor in that. Anchor in to WHY you should be making more money, receiving more money. Is it for your non-profit? For your business, or you purpose driven enterprise? Your mission-driven company, if you don’t own it but you work for one? Zero in 100% on your WHY so that you can serve people at a greater scale.</p> <p><strong>Now this NOT for you if you are doing something that you hate, for people who you hate, and you are completely grinding yourself to the bone, because money is your only way out of abject poverty and you will do anything to get it and you'll stomp on anyone to get it.&nbsp;</strong>This message is not for you. We don't wanna see more pain in the world. Remember: money is an amplifier. Let’s not amplify more pain and grinding and inauthenticity. But if you are doing good work, you've got to be more visible. I would love to see you shine bright. Open your heart, open your energy and allow more wealth. Not just money, but wealth of all kinds - and we'll be talking about that over the next few weeks. Allow different kinds of wealth to flow into your experience.</p> <p>In accordance with that, we're going to be journeying with Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck by Doreen and Grant Virtue (that's her son, Grant). Alrighty, and by the way, this is the oracle cards deck that we pull from every month, during the monthly Abundant Business Circle financial energy healing sessions that we have for entrepreneurs here at the dojo. If you're interested in attending the next one, go ahead and send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. I'd be happy to tell you more. Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about how our money is spiritual? Okay, let's do this... Here goes:</p> <p><em>“Exercise to increase your energy and manifestation abilities. The key to manifesting quickly is to have very high energy levels and the easiest way to increase them is through physical exercise. Choose a fun and meaningful activity so that you'll look forward to exercising and it becomes its own reward.” </em>And this is where we're going to leave off for the week.</p> <p><strong>My guides are telling me that the angles brought this card forward in particular, because someone who is watching right now is on the bright side, is one of the good women, one of the good guys out there, working for the light.&nbsp;</strong>You are doing good work. You are giving to charities. You are uplifting all those who come across your path, but you're <em>frustrated</em>. Frustrated because you don't have enough money in order to pay your bills, in order to pay your team, in order to take care of your family as well as to keep up with all of the commitments that you've made. So here's the thing. If you are a high-vibe person, that – meaning, not enough money – is not the real problem.</p> <p>A lack of money, is a lack of energy. This card says, “exercise to increase your energy and manifestation abilities.” Here's what the real problem is: your physical energy levels, your emotional energy levels or your relational energy levels - it's one of those three. I'm gonna be talking about that over the next few weeks. Your physical energy levels, your emotional energy levels or your relational energy levels are not at the highest vibration possible. Something in one of those three areas is of a lower vibration. And you have got to find a way to raise it by any means necessary. That’s the real problem.</p> <p><strong>The fastest way to get through all of that is ecstatic exercise.&nbsp;</strong>It covers all three. Especially if you do it with other people. When you’re able to turn on your physical capital, turn on your emotional capital and also your relational capital, abundance is guaranteed.</p> <p>Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. What's coming up for you around that. Which one of those three areas - physical, emotional or relational (and that means relationships and how you are in the vibration of your relationships) - what one of those three is what's really low vibe and sucking the energy out of your wealth and abundance, and by extension, affecting your finances? I'd love to hear that and support you in raising that vibration, if you’d like help with that.</p> <p>Make sure you hit subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every single week and I'll see you in the next one.</p> <p><strong>May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey to ascension.</strong></p> <p>Bye for now!</p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Raise your vibration in relation to money so you can be open to receive more of it and bless more people with it.</h3> <h3>When you feel judgmental of wealth or wealthy people, dance the feeling off, speak it off, journal it off, or walk it off of your body and out of your energy.</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p><strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.

You do not have to fake it to make it anymore. </strong></h2> <p>We've been diving deep into that concept. However, if this is the first one in the series that you are seeing, make sure you hit pause, and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com, click on part one and start there so that you're grounded in this clearing process. Without further ado, this week in particular, we are talking about allowing diversity.</p> <p><strong>Now, when we're talking about stopping faking it until you make it, there's an undercurrent of emotion flowing underneath it, where we are trying to make everything perfect.</strong> There's a palpable undercurrent, and that undercurrent is fueled by a lack of acceptance for diversity, of things being different. There's a lack of acceptance for imperfection, for things going a different way than expected, for multiple viewpoints and new and different, or old and different, points of view. Be kind to yourself if you're driven to perfection because you're driven to uniformity, or to make sure everything is balanced and set ...or else.</p> <p>With love, that's a traumatized mindset, where everything has to be perfect. Everything has to be fine. We have to look fine. All of our Facebook Livestreams have to be perfect and look fine. All of the marketing materials in the business have to be perfect and look fine in order for anything to happen, or else. It’s insidious. It’s infectious.</p> <p><strong>Your speech has to be absolutely perfect in order for it to be effective.</strong> Your weight has to be absolutely perfect in order for you to be loved or to be seen. Your hair has to be absolutely perfect - according to some external force that says this is what perfect hair is - in order for you to be taken seriously. Only just for today, as we say in reiki, no more, just for today. No more of that traumatized mindset.</p> <p>What helps us to stop faking it is allowing for diversity. When someone comes early or comes a little bit later, allow for the diversity and say, "How can we acknowledge this situation?" and then weave it in. Integrate it in. If your partner is seeing a completely different point of view, how can we allow our partner to have a different point of view, and still have a two-way conversation as two brilliant beings? Do we have to win, win, win every single argument - or every single discussion, even if we're not arguing? Do we have to win, win, win in order to feel heard or to feel safe, or to feel served?</p> <p><strong>Allowing feels different than winning.</strong> As I’m recording the video for this blog, there’s powerful lightning going on in the background. I'm leaving that lightning in, by the way, because it was gorgeous, and it's just another example of allowing diversity. We're not faking it. I'm not faking it in here. I'm listening to what my spirit guide are telling me and relaying it to you, aka, channeling. The same way that the rain gutters are doing their best that they can here in the dojo to channel the water away from the roof, away from the house. That way, it's protecting as well as continuing this beautiful cycle of flow and nourishment.</p> <p>Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling blocked and stuck or undernourished in your body, your mind, your heart, your business or your spirit lately. Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling that blocked or stuck feeling. It's because we're not allowing for diversity. This also involves accepting others as they are. This comes up a lot with love and relationship issues in my private sessions with clients who are, as we discussed in our previous weeks, people who orient to clarity. My clients are very conscious, awakening, evolving souls. You come home, and your family is like, "We're just trying to relax and chill," while you’re gushing about your aha-moments and breakthroughs and how things need to change. ::take a deep breath in... exhale...:: Here's the thing. Allow for the diversity. Allow for the diversity.</p> <p><strong>It doesn't mean you approve or condone bad behavior, or people overstepping your boundaries, per se.</strong> Be kind to yourself in that respect, and at the same time, allow people who are orienting to comfort to just be as they are. The big, big, big source of suffering in our tribe of conscious, driven, high-vibrational individuals is not allowing people who genuinely just want to be comfortable to just be where they are at. Just let them be.</p> <p>Because coaching is addictive, we tend to come in guns blazing: “I'm going to coach you! RAWRRR! I'm going to coach you! I'm going to transform your life!” Lol... umm. That's cool. You don't have to transform everyone all the time, ok? If someone doesn't want it, they don't want it. Let them go. If someone doesn't get it, they don't get it, ok? Relax.</p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week:</strong></h2> <h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/R0mMV"><strong>Know this: Be kind to yourself if you've been feeling that blocked or stuck feeling. It can be there because we're not allowing for diversity. This also involves our level of ability to accept others as they are... or not. #positivevibes #mindset #womeninbusiness @SenseiWhitfield</strong></a></h2> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation: <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40" /></a> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p><strong>Molding your children is a give and take.</strong> This is something that, especially when you're trying to be the best guardian for your children that you've manifested in this lifetime, it’s a give and take: on one hand, you can't just let them roam free. We're guarding them and making sure that they know that they're safe because someone's watching them. And at the same time, if they see the world differently than you do, allow the diversity. As a parent, be kind to yourself and allow their diversity, their point of view, within your sacred container of safety for them.</p> <p>Here’s the mindset of assertiveness and allowing that my guides are offering to parents. <em>Within these four walls, when I pay the bills for this, when I cook the food for you, and I wash your clothes, you honor this sacred container I created for you. I take care of you, I birthed you, I love you, and you're fully yourself, within these certain sacred parameters. You still have a mind of your own, and at the same time, you get to honor the fact that you're being taken care of, protected and guided with deep unconditional love.</em> Allowing diversity is a special case with kids. I understand that. I honor that and respect that.</p> <p><strong>However in your career, alternatively, when you have teen members who see things differently from you, don't throw them to the side too fast.</strong> Allow them to have your back, ok? Imagine I'm standing back-to-back with another person. If I face this way, I can't see what they're seeing. Does that that if they look the other way that they're wrong for what they're seeing? No. Not necessarily; we are just standing back to back, looking at different sides of the same thing, with different eyes.</p> <p>In fact, they actually have my back. That's the greatest gift of having a diverse team with diverse points of view. Allow it, so that they can have your back and watch out for things that may be in your blind spot. Allowing diversity doesn't have to be perfect. It does, however, need to be conscious. This is where we've got to turn up the volume on our communication arm, leaning into uncomfortable yet productive and loving conversations.</p> <p><strong>Loving to yourself, being loving to the person you're having the conversation with, and being loving to the entire tribe that the two of you are a part of or supporting or building.</strong> Lean into those loving conversations because they allow diversity and diversity is power. The fairies are calling in the energy, by the way - Healing with the Fairies: Oracle Cards deck is who we've been journeying with all month for this series around stopping faking it. You literally can just stop. Just let it go, if only just for today, as we say in reiki. Only just for today, let go of faking it.</p> <p>Fairies, what do we need to know right now about allowing diversity? ...This is a good thing to add. I'm grateful for it. <em>Creative Expression.</em> And here's where we're going to leave off for today, and for this series. When we're stopping faking it until we make it, when we're stopping pretending and starting to allow different points of view, allow imperfection, allow being natural or being ourselves, there emerges a beauty in diversity. There's an incredible beauty in diversity, and it is creative expression. You get to see how marvelous and awesome it is to have so many different points of view and have so many different experiences. Variety is the spice of life, right?</p> <p><strong>This tree behind me, for example, and all the other ones with it too, are gorgeous because it's unique expression. It's natural. It's not perfect.</strong> It is perfectly imperfect, and it is a part of creation. Right? Well, guess what? That's a tree. If a tree is allowed to be unique and expressive and imperfect and still be gorgeous and healing and beautiful and precious, so are you. I mean it sounds like a bit much, but as we're stopping faking it, can we at least give ourselves the same permission that we give to freaking trees to just be natural and to be magnificent at the same time?</p> <p>What's coming up for you around this? What are you creating now that we're walking this path together as journey partners to releasing faking it, and stepping into an authentic life and business? I'm curious. Go ahead. Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield. Tell me your story.</p> <p><strong>Perhaps you need help tapping into your creative expression - that flow for you, maybe it's blocked right now.</strong> If you just can't see your own perfectly imperfect natural beauty and magnificence, please go to naturalintuition.com. Hop on my calendar by clicking that Contact button, and let's talk about working together so I can support you as your journey partner, okay?</p> <p>I'm sending you so much love.

It's time; #StopThat.</strong></h2> <p>If you haven't seen the first two parts, by the way, hit pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and click on part one. Start there so that you are grounded in this clearing process that we're going through together.</p> <p><strong>The topic of this week's Love Letter is self-acceptance.</strong> Self-acceptance. If we are going to stop faking it ‘til we make it, and if we are going to let go of being perfect - or let go fighting because we think we're not good enough - if we're going to let go of that fight and put our weapons down to surrender in that fight - I get the chills as I say that for you, sending you so much love around having the courage to put down your weapons and stop fighting to be good enough - if we're going to do that, that means we've got to learn how to practice self-acceptance. Self-acceptance!? What the heck does that mean, Victoria? Does it even exist?</p> <p>Self-acceptance is, for one - my guides are telling me to tell you this - for one, it is not a single event. Self-acceptance is not like a, “ta-da, I accept myself and then I'm done” sort of single event. No, no, no. Self-acceptance is an ongoing series of choices, observations, and celebrations over and over and over again. And it’s celebrations not only of the good stuff, but also celebrating, “you know what? This about me kind of sucks. Yay. I don't have to have it all figured out.” I'm going to be kind to myself because I accept that I have limitations. There are things that I don't know. There are, in fact, things that I don't know that I don't know. There are things that I don't like.</p> <p><strong>Believe it or not, there are emotions that I have where I can be mad from time to time, or sad, and I <em>celebrate</em> the dark side to me: the preferences, and the point of view that I have as a unique human being.</strong> I do not have to be the way that someone may have told me that I have to be. Repeat: I do not have to be the way that someone told me that I have to be. Instead, I accept myself as I am. Over and over and over again - especially when it's hard to, especially when I don't like myself - this is when I need to celebrate my shortcomings even more.</p> <p>Now, for those of you who've been following my work or who've known me for quite some time now, you know that my automatic setting right now is Auto Clap, lol, it’s like I'm just on Auto Celebrate. And this behavior is something that I didn't used to have as a person. I used to be pretty gloomy, I had a really, really dark personality earlier in life, but I trained myself over time to look for things to celebrate in all situations.</p> <p><strong>What that did is it made me emotionally stronger and stronger with time.</strong> It helped open my eyes to the good. There's so much good. Even in the darkest things that have ever happened in my life, there has been so much good because I'm set to celebrate, and that setting is an act of self-acceptance that I have been engaging in - that I've been deciding to engage in - over and over and over and over again.</p> <p>On the other hand, what is also a learned behavior is self-rejection. Be kind to yourself if you are the Queen of self-rejection or the King of denying yourself. Be kind to yourself if you're really, really good at booing yourself before anybody else can, making sure that you put yourself down before anybody else can. Sometimes we learn that as a coping mechanism for growing up and coming up in an abusive environment, so that you can, in a twisted way, empower yourself by hurting yourself first to cut people off at the pass. That behavior, you don't need it anymore. I give you permission, if only just for now to let that go once and for all.</p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week:</strong></h2> <h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/1jb06">Know this: Sometimes we learn that, as a coping mechanism for living and working in an abusive environment, to fake empower yourself by putting yourself down first to cut others off at the pass.

If so, please support our healing work with a love donation: <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40" /></a> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p><strong>Hey, hey, hold on a sec - you're watching or reading this on a device, right?</strong> I'm inside some screen somewhere as you're watching or reading this, so that means we are having a very, very private moment, you and I. No one else can hear or see me like you can right now. So, I want you to know in the bottom of your soul: you don't have to do that twisted stuff anymore to yourself. Today's the day. I know you wouldn’t admit that openly. That’s fine. But if you're watching or reading this, in this very moment, Spirit brought you here, so right now please know you have permission to just let that go completely. You have no more need to beat yourself up at all.</p> <p>Self-acceptance is what you're called to, and it takes just as much energy as self-rejection. If you were to count how many times a day you put yourself down, sooner or later you'd realize there's a pattern behind that, and that pattern is a learned skill. The opposite is true, right? How many times you celebrate yourself in a day, that's a pattern, too. That is a learned skill, too. That's something that you can build, a muscle that you can grow over time.</p> <p><strong>So, if only just for today, please know that the name of the game is self-acceptance: to find something at all times - whether it is good or bad - about yourself, as you are, to celebrate, to accept, and to just observe.</strong> Doesn't mean you necessarily right out the gate approve of everything. Hey, I’m right there with you. We are human. And at the same time, we are human beings: being willing to celebrate it, being willing to observe it, being willing to see it rather than just stuffing, stuffing, stuffing, stuffing down.</p> <p>I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy around that. Healing with the Angels by Doreen Virtue is the deck that we're journeying with all month. Let me ask the fairies. Wait... I said Healing with the Angels? ... autopilot. Oops! It’s Healing with the Fairies oracle cards deck! LOL! I bet you didn't know the difference, though, did you? Ha ha. Maybe you did. I’m so leaving that perfectly imperfect mess up in! I love it... Okay, fairies, what do we need to know about self-acceptance right now? Oh my goddess. Yay, I love this card! <em>Breaking Free.</em> And that's you. Breaking Free - and the fairy on the card is out in the outer realms, arms spread wide, wings all the way up and just flying high, breaking free from everything.</p> <p><strong>Here's the message from the fairies: you are breaking free in to a new level of self-acceptance, maybe for the first time.</strong> Your ability to, as you can, find something to celebrate, find something about yourself to observe and to accept and just see – this is breaking you free. You don't even have to do anything about it. Just observe it. This is you breaking free from the chains that have been holding you down - maybe in life, maybe in your business. One chain at a time, you’re breaking free, breaking free, breaking free. You can do it! You’re doing it!</p> <p>This is an affirmation from source that you're on the right path. Keep going. And know you’re not alone - I'm your traveling partner, Sensei Victoria Whitfield – on your ascension path in life and business. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week. Let’s keep journeying together.</p> <p><strong>Hit that share button, by the way, if there's someone that you love and care about who you believe it's time for them to break free, too, send this letter their way.</strong> Maybe this might just bless and change their day. And remember to please enjoy the journey. Make sure that you do not lose your glow as you grow in life and business.</p> <p>I'll see you in the next episode. Bye for now! <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Celebrate the good and the bad about yourself today, in an act of radical self-acceptance and healing.</h3> <h3>Honor and appreciate your strengths as well as your weaknesses, acknowledge and announce what you know that you know, as well as what you genuinely don’t know, shame-free.</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> <strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.

Whether it's in your personal or professional life. If you didn't see part one, hit pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com. Click on part one and start from there so that you are grounded in this clearing process that we're going through over these four weeks.</p> <p><strong>The topic that my guides have asked us to cover this week in particular is the two types of people that you're going to encounter in all of life, but especially when you decide to stop faking it.</strong> There are two types of people in life. Now, be kind to yourself. We've all been either type at any given point in time in our lives, but especially when you decide to live a life where you’re going to fake it anymore, where you’re not going to be little Miss or Mr. Perfect, not going to hold back, but are going to be all in, your type shifts. Two types. You ready to write it down? Get your notepad.</p> <p>The two types are: people who value Clarity, and people who value Comfort. There are two types of people in life. There are those who are valuing and seeking Clarity, and those who are valuing and seeking Comfort. In all things. Now this is super important because as you make the decision to stop faking it, you are moving from one paradigm, where you are valuing and seeking comfort in all the decisions and actions that you make, and you are stepping over into a whole other paradigm, where you are valuing and seeking clarity in all the decisions and actions that you make and take throughout your life and in your business.</p> <p><strong>Now, this is a tall order.</strong> Last week we were already talking about deciding to stop faking it, and how it's time, let's go, let's go, but now on top of that, your orientation, your alignment shifts. If you've been wondering why you're having such a hard time living authentically or stopping faking it, or stopping putting on the show, it's because this is an alignment issue. Are you aligned with comfort and seeking that? Or are you aligned with clarity and seeking that?</p> <p>If you don't know where you are aligned, look at the decisions that you already have made. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, so as you look back at the decisions that you made, maybe it could be a mixed bag. I'll be honest, I have a bit of a mixed bag of decisions as I look over my shoulder, too. I'm certainly not perfect. There are some choices that are, especially when it comes to food, that sometimes I'm deciding I would like to seek comfort right now, and I'm going to pay for it by going to the gym. Or making sure that I'm shifting my eating back or, well, there's going to be digestive issues as a consequence if I'm basing my decision on comfort to eat something very fatty or full of dairy or wheat and all of that.</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>I'm going to have consequences of that decision.</strong> Whereas if I make the decision - continuing to put this all on me - if I make the decision to choose food that is clarifying, or that gives me clarity that when I eat it so I don't feel tired afterwards, but instead I feel energized afterwards - not because it's artificial but because it's alive, and living food brings your body alive, I know it does for me - then there's also going to be consequences to that.--</span></p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: </strong></h2> <h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/as7Tf"><strong>Know this: Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, so as you look back at the decisions that you made and ask yourself “did I create Clarity or Comfort with that decision?” #mindset #entrepreneur #personalgrowth @SenseiWhitfield</strong></a></h2> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation: <a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40"></a> <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <p>There's consequences on both sides. So, if only just for today, you've got to choose - you and I both - we have got to choose, where are we aligning ourselves? Am I or are you being the type of person who seeks and cultivates clarity and values clarity all the time, or one who seeks and cultivates and values comfort? By the way, and we're going to get a little more into this in the coming weeks, but as I hear the oracle cards - I hear you, I hear you - calling in the energy, be kind to yourself if there are people around you who really value comfort.</p> <p><strong>Yet while there are people who genuinely value comfort, sometimes you can find yourself, for whatever reason, as a conscious person and a conscious entrepreneur, in really valuing clarity, you’ll end up lording over them, expecting them to be a clarity-oriented person.</strong> This is suffering: expecting something else from people who just aren't aligned with that same value. This is going to cause you a lot of suffering, is going to drain a lot of energy from you.</p> <p>This week in particular, I just want you to be a little bit more vigilant. First of yourself: checking in and asking, “am I being someone, with this decisions or this action that I'm taking, valuing comfort or clarity?” Or you could even, in my case - because this is my journey right now, around food – ask: “am I eating this because I'm seeking comfort or I'm seeking clarity? What am I creating with this decision?” For you it might be something else, such as “with this business decision” or “this investment that I'm making right now.” Ask yourself “am I going for comfort, as I'm investing right now or considering investing, is this something that's going to increase my comfort or my clarity?” It's up to you.</p> <p><strong>Okay. Let's get to the oracle cards.</strong> The oracle cards all month are “Healing With the Fairies” by Doreen Virtue. Let's ask them: “Fairies, what do we need to know right now about the two types of people that are out there? About these value alignments and such.” ... <em>Problem resolved.</em> Check it out, the fairy on the card, she's got a snake of wisdom right there wrapped around her, speaking in her ear. Shedding skin, one of my spirit guides just said. Shedding layers of what you used to be, the smaller you. We're shedding layers of what we used to be.</p> <p>This is so powerful, and where we'll leave off for the week. This alignment issue is what's going to accelerate your progress. The more that you become aware of clarity versus comfort in the decisions that you are making. This will put you on the path to resolving the problems, the challenges that you've been facing. Choosing that clarity, if you dare, over comfort. Sending you so much love around that.</p> <p><strong>I'm your traveling partner on this journey so, send me an email back, comment below, let me know what's coming up for you around this.</strong> And if you need more support around choosing clarity and aligning with clarity and releasing that addiction to comfort, go ahead on over to naturalintuition.com, click the contact button. Hop on my calendar and let's see about getting you supported and working together.</p> <p>With that, that's it for this week's episode. Thank you so much for tuning in and watching the Love Letters. It's been eight years. Eight years! Thank you so much for all of your support.</p> <p>Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and I will see you in the next one. Bye for now. <span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Make time to evaluate what you are valuing and creating in the decisions you make.</h3> <h3>See the difference between choosing to create more clarity or more comfort, as you weigh your options.</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> <strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.

Without further ado, for week four what we're going to be covering in particular is professional loneliness.</p> <p><strong>As conscious entrepreneurs, from time to time we can continue to put the blinders on in order to be productive.</strong> We started to talk a little bit about this last week with the law of distraction. By the way, if you haven't tuned in for that, make sure you stop now, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one so that you are grounded in this process.</p> <p>We started talking about the law of distraction, where we have these blinders on and we're missing out on the good and blessed people and things that have gathered around us. Also, we were talking about acknowledging and appreciating the platonic relationships that we already have.</p> <p><strong>But this week in particular, if you are experiencing professional loneliness, what that looks like is feeling like you are deeply alone in your business or deeply alone in your career</strong>. Maybe the purpose that you've been driven towards – your calling in life, your professional calling – is one that sets you apart from others. The people in your life, for whatever reason, personally and professionally, aren't fully in alignment with it or can't exactly see the entire vision that you've been blessed with the ability to see just yet.</p> <p>If that's the case, as always, I'm sending you so much love because it can be such a challenge. It’s a challenge to feel truly grounded and clear when in the past, in order to ground, you've been retreating and pulling away from different relationships. Or maybe you had to leave your corporate position, or a job that you had previously, to really follow your dreams and create a way out of no way for yourself because you woke up. You became conscious, whereas before, you weren't so much. If that's the case, naturally, as you're leaving the comfort zone, you can end up leaving by yourself.</p> <p><strong>This is especially true for those of us who work from home, or have created our business as a virtual business.</strong> Or perhaps you have a home office and you do a lot of the billing, bookkeeping and accounts work from your home while out at your location your employees are doing their work. In this set up, you can feel a bit alone even in the management of your business. Is this sounding familiar?</p> <p>If this is not for you, no problem. I'm sure you know someone who does feel this, though, because statistics show that 75% of entrepreneurs feel lonely on their journey, and get depressed, as well, on their entrepreneurial ascension path. It's a very real thing. Whether or not you're comfortable bringing this up, we've got to talk about it so that we can ground and clear your blocked energy flow, and get you back to that state of glowing as you grow.</p> <p><strong>For me, personally, I'm at my eighth year in business and I've had several different locations of the dojo. </strong>Where I am writing and filming this blog is the latest iteration of it. At first, I moved in with my mentor. It was wonderful to get to bounce my ideas off of him, and him vice-versa. We could support each other on our ascension paths professionally, every day. Then things changed and he had to manifest a new space to move his business into so that he could take care of his children and run his business in that home.</p> <p>Once he did, I was with the space by myself. At first, that was so empowering. I was thinking, “oh my goodness, I'm carrying my own office space for the first time in my life!” I was coming to the office, day after day, and there's no one but me. Except for when I was seeing a client.</p> <p><strong>For those of you who have your own business as a solo entrepreneur – which I was at the time, I didn't have the team that I do now – you know most of your time is spent marketing.</strong> That is, if you have any clients. Big hugs and love to you if you're still fighting for your first one. Don't give up. But, most of your time as an entrepreneur is spent marketing. Marketing, marketing, marketing... And not necessarily being with people in your space.</p> <p>After a while, it can be really quiet and lonely at times. At first, I'm an introvert. I love being by myself. So I lasted a few months. That was pretty good. And then the quiet got too quiet... where I had a harder and harder time focusing. Even though I love doing what I do, it was so difficult to look to my left and look to my right and not have anyone to work around, to work with.</p> <p><strong>With that being said, what helped me shift – and this is what my guides are suggesting for you right now – was opening up to collaborations and coworking</strong>. If you are feeling alone in your business, then maybe it’s time you started opening up to collaborations and coworking, as well as joining an entrepreneur tribe like ours. Meaning, a big group of entrepreneurs that are excited to work together so that they can glow as they grow in life and business, like you. That really started healing it for me. I would invite you to consider that for yourself.</p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: </strong></h2> <h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/5acfr"><strong>Know this: If you are feeling alone in your business, then maybe it’s time you started opening up to collaborations and coworking, as well as joining an entrepreneur tribe like ours. #empath #entrepreneur #depression @SenseiWhitfield</strong></a></h2> <p>Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>?

It's inspiring to see others who are established and, wow, they're breaking through that glass ceiling, moving into higher levels of your realization of their potential. It's a beautiful thing to witness.</p> <p><strong>But it begins with allowing that feeling of, “you know what? I am alone. I am feeling alone in my business.”</strong> Big difference there. What matters most is how you feel. However, you may not actually be alone. Perhaps as the founder, the visionary founder of the business, you're looking to your right and your left and you may have 50 employees but you're still feeling alone because there's no other visionaries for you to resonate with.</p> <p>Be kind to yourself if that's been your situation. If that's where you're at in your business's development, it's time for you to receive the nourishment of positive community. Through collaborations, coworking, and joining a tribe like ours.</p> <p><strong>That is why here at the dojo we provide the <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/abundantbusinesscirclemmc">Abundant Business Circle</a> and the <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/visionaryshamancircle">Visionary Shaman Circle</a> so that no conscious entrepreneur goes unsupported, wherever they are at in their level of development.</strong> If you're at the startup phase, just getting used to attracting and receiving clients, that's the Abundant Business Circle. We support each other in that shift with our financial healing circles. You get to see everyone's faces, and network, and connect with others who are there with you, too. Or if you're in an established business looking to ascend through your upper limits in life and business, especially by rooting deeper down into your spiritual health, that's the visionary shaman circle for you. Both are nationwide, worldwide tribes. Thanks to the internet.</p> <p>It's great to have these love letters, of course. I'm here sending you lots of love in your email inbox, or in your YouTube feed. Wherever you're picking up what I'm putting down, wherever you're finding this. But it's a whole other level of emotional nourishment when you allow yourself to get into the group and join the tribe. I highly recommend you <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact">reach out to us at naturalintuition.com, hit that Contact button</a> and let's talk about you becoming part of our community.</p> <p><strong>With that being said, I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy.</strong> The Romance Angels is who we've been journeying with all month. This deck is by Doreen Virtue. Let’s pull a card for professional loneliness, being kind to ourselves, allowing that feeling, and drawing a line in the sand, saying, "I don't like how this feels. I'm aware that this doesn't feel good. I want to change it. I want an overabundance of juicy, joyful, professional relationships. And so it is."</p> <p>Angels, what do we need to know right now about manifesting that? ...Oh, I had a feeling that this was going to come out before I hit record. <em>Codependency. Addictions are affecting your romantic life.</em> What a can of worms to open up, angels! What the heck? LOL! This is where we're going to leave off for the week. If you are experiencing professional loneliness, this is two-fold.</p> <p><strong>On one hand, your workaholism, your addiction to micromanaging and addiction to perfection, is making the world unbearably small for you</strong>. If you're feeling that exhaustion coming from professional loneliness, it's because you've become codependent with workaholism. You're addicted to it and being sucked into that vortex. If that's your situation, if you're a workaholic, you need positive community of other entrepreneurs who are demonstrating what it's like to glow *as* they grow their business rather than to burn out as they grow their business, <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/jointhetribe">then apply to join the tribe now</a>.</p> <p>On the other side, this also affects our romantic life. The professional achievements that we have as entrepreneurs can sometimes give us that hit of dopamine. It is so fulfilling that causes us to focus only on our work instead of the love of our lives. Be careful about that. It's another sign of being a workaholic that your love relationships and your friendships are suffering because the business is eating up all of your time and emotional energy.</p> <p><strong>Again, if this is happening in your life, </strong><a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/jointhetribe"><strong>then apply to join the tribe now</strong></a><strong>.</strong> Collaborate and connect with others who are happily married, have wonderful friends, and are demonstrating a healthy business that is growing by leaps and bounds. Being around others who are demonstrating this lifestyle will teach you how to make that happen for yourself, and how to truly enjoy the journey.</p> <p>By the way, let me know what comes up for you around this. Send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com if you'd like to email me privately and directly; that'll come straight to me through my team. By the way, hit subscribe on YouTube so you get these love letters first every single week.</p> <p><strong>Hit the SHARE button, and make sure someone who has a business knows to not overwork themselves. </strong>We will see you in the next one. Thank you so much.</p> <p>I appreciate you so much for tuning in to these love letters every week. Bye for now.</p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p> <h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2> <h3>Be honest with yourself about the quality of your mental health and relationships at work; get clear on how you truly feel about your worklife and if it is Your version of healthy and abundant.</h3> <h3>Then seek out and join an entrepreneur tribe, like our Visionary Shaman Circle and <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/retreats">Strategic Spa Retreats</a>, to feel surrounded by fellow spiritual entrepreneurs who fill your cup.</h3> <h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span> <strong><em><a href="https://bit.ly/2HCFnrE"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5916" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-300x300.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-150x150.png 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria-768x768.png 768w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Work-with-Victoria.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a>Hello there.
