Dear Love,

We stand at the precipice of the dawn of a new era in your life this week. 

​​With the Winter Solstice occurring this Thursday being the shortest day and the longest night of the year, it signals a time of rebirth. Your rebirth.

It is time for you to let go of the year behind you; to let go of the projects, the people, the dreams and relationships that are unrealized, unfinished, and unsalvageable.

Clear your cache. Empty your emotional and financial Trash bin.

What have you pushed back on to the backburner, indefinitely?
What have you hung up to slowly fade in to the background and be eaten away by the moths of mental abandonment and forgetfulness?

My spirit guides say there are things hanging in your energy like cobwebs - unfinished or unresolved initiatives​​​​​​​​​, conversations and promises - that are sneakily draining your energy in the background, similarly how leaving a ton of apps open on your device eats up its battery life.

But this week, we need to look at why you left these issues unresolved; and my guides say, it's to avoid dealing with the feeling of Disappointment.​​

Let's talk about it...

I explore this in detail in this week's video: CLICK TO WATCH on YouTube.

"Disappointment is hot lava; avoid it at all costs," chants the inner Perfectionist.

"And while you're at it, don't give in to any negative feelings at all. That's not allowed. You can't be wrong. Nope. You can't be negative. Nope. That's not allowed. No anger, no resentment, no frustration, no dissatisfaction, no betrayal, no confusion, no grief, no shame, no jealousy, no regret, no nothing..."​​

She continues, clenching her controller claws around your mind: "Must be positive. Must keep it together​​. Must put on a happy face. Must look successful. Must be fine. Must not let on. Must hide. Must keep going. Must keep up. Must power through it. Must not set off any alarms. Must be strong. Must not be weak. Must stay on top of things. Must..."

​​Denying your negative feelings is not dealing with them.
​
In fact, it makes them worse, because when you deny admitting how you really feel, you drive the negative energy of your negative feelings deeper into your body and psyche, and this breeds disease and dysfunction.

Denying is lying.​​​
​
To yourself, and to others.​

Still holding on to something - a person, project or plan - that is dead and gone?
Can't seem to let it go and move on to manifesting your next big thing?

If so, let me help you get the clarity you need to move forward:
CLICK TO BOOK A CLARITY CALL WITH VICTORIA NOW

Deep ​breath in... and exhale.

When we can't let go, when we can't admit​​ defeat, when we can't admit we were wrong, when we can't admit we aren't happy, when we can't admit we're angry, when we can't admit we are disappointed...we deny ourselves the right to Humanity.

The inner Perfectionist, the inner Controller - she is doing her best to protect you from how bad negative feelings feel. However, she is part of your Traumatized Mind. She is not part of your Healthy Mind.​​

Mistakenly, her version of protecting you from "bad things" is based in restricting your access to, and even erasing altogether, your authentic feelings​​ that lie outside the range of "acceptable" feelings to have - it's as if you're trying to play music on a grand piano by only using 7 out of he 88 keys. You lack range of expression.

There is beauty and power in the high notes, and there is power and healing in the low notes. They're all yours, and they're all part of your Whole story.

My spirit guides say that this week, you are being called to step in to the full range of your soul's expression, including all of you: the highs and the lows.

And with it being the longest nights of the year this week, this is the best time to embrace the power and healing laying in wait for you in your Shadow. It's time to dive into the Dark Gift of Disappointment.​​​​​​

Remember:

You create your reality. You create your flow.

You also can destroy your flow.
The choice is yours.

In case you were not aware: you are not alone in this. We are walking this journey of universal service (as conscious entrepreneurs) and spiritual ascension (as spiritual beings).

The fight to stay grounded and clear in mind, body and business is a daily one. I know.

So I will continue to share these messages out of devotion to my soulmate clients who may be watching from the sidelines; to my Loves who are up at 3am praying for the strength to keep serving their clients and community, praying for a safe place and a safe person who can help them accept themselves, too. Someone who can help them clear their energy, get out of their own way and finally grow and flow into their goals of having massive positive impact. 

Is that you? (Or someone you know?)
If so, I see you, and I am here when you are ready.

You are enough.
You are ready.
You are worthy.

I believe that you do not have to lose your glow as you grow in life and business. 
I believe that you have what it takes to make your vision happen, and that with a little extra love, you will see it manifest and come to fruition.

And that's what I'm here for. If you sense that you need to ground and clear or balance and align your energy in your life and business, and are seeking support in doing so, don't hesitate to reach out. 

You are not weird or crazy for sensing it - it's NORMAL! 
Well, our tribe's "normal." *wink*

As an empath AND an entrepreneur myself, I understand that your energy is everything, especially in businessman a very deep and personal level. 

Your energy is everything because when you feel better, you do better.
It's that simple. 

And when you're energy is off kilter, you feel stressed, stuck and scattered, and that can stop you in your tracks, which cuts off the universal flow of abundance and positive manifestation in your life. 

Manifestation of health, love, money, energy, progress...
I can help you with that.

Dear Love,

Lately all we do is rush, rush, rush.

"Hurry up!"
"Get the lead out!"
"Pick up the pace."
"Get a move on."
"You snooze, you lose."

Why are you always rushing yourself?

Especially when you know that you don't do nearly as good a job when you rush yourself as when you take your time. Where is this coming from?

Perhaps you were rushed by well-meaning family, teachers or friends as a child, and so you learned to rush yourself so that you don't have to endure their shame and nagging.

Or maybe you were made to feel slow or stupid when you didn't react or think as fast as others, and so you learned from them to be impatient with yourself, as a rule of thumb.

My spirit guides are saying to watch out this week for rushing yourself, because that is fueling your pattern of self sabotage.

Let's talk about it:

I explore this in detail in this week's video: CLICK TO WATCH on YouTube.

In an alternate, negative universe, everybody wins when you sabotage your own progress, and everybody wins when you are distracted.

You win because you are off the hook and don't have to deal with upsetting your status quo.
Others win for the same reason; they are let off the hook not having to deal with you upsetting their status quo.

And, anyone who is seeking power and control over you and others wins, because the less progress you make, and the less you have the ability to focus, the more you are a compliant pawn in helping them realize their agenda.

My spirit guides say that if you are reading this email though, the above idea makes your skin crawl, because the last thing you want is to be somebody else's pawn, let alone make no progress and have everything remain the same.

You and me both!

But if that's the case, then why are you allowing yourself to be distracted so often, especially while doing what you love or spending time with people you love? 

I'll tell you why: focus is a CHOICE and a skill to be developed.

Are you having a hard time getting and staying focused?
Can't seem to stop sabotaging your progress, and wonder if you're blocked?

If so, let me help you get the clarity you need to move forward:

Technology rewards us for handing over our ability to make our own choices on what to pay attention to because we are currently living in the Age of Attention.
Read that sentence again.

Notifications, pop ups, funnels, commercials, apps, ai-driven data results, social media doom scrolling, algorithms, tracking cookies and ads guide our decisions on what to focus on through a constant stream of interruptions.

Calculated colors, sounds, branding, haptics (the vibrations of your device), editing and catchy sayings stimulate our senses to trigger pleasure sensations in the brain and associate Their Choice with pleasure. 

This influences what we focus on, without us even knowing most of the time.

And, "wherever your awareness goes, energy flows" so that means your energy is being siphoned away from what you want to focus on and instead to Their Choice for you to focus on, so that your energy can fuel the realization of Their agenda.

Who are "They"? It doesn't matter; They are not YOU.

Just for today, focus on YOU and Your unique point of view, on moving the needle forward on Your agenda and choosing Your Choice.

And the secret for reconnecting to You and Your ability to focus is practicing the art and skill of Pausing Powerfully, as you go about your day, each day, this week.I go in to this in detail in this week's video. Click the link or video above to watch.

Remember:

You create your reality. You create your flow.

You also can destroy your flow.
The choice is yours.

In case you were not aware: you are not alone in this. We are walking this journey of universal service (as conscious entrepreneurs) and spiritual ascension (as spiritual beings).

This is week two of four of our discussion around how to rock your retrograde.

And, if you didn't catch the first one, it's really important that you do because we explain what exactly is a Mercury Retrograde, how often can we expect to enjoy being on one. So go ahead, if you haven't, stop here, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and look that up.

So this week in particular, the guides want you to know that in order for you to rock your retrograde, you have got to do one thing, but it has two words. Are you ready? Get your pen ready. Slow down! Slow down. Slow down. You see because when we're in Mercury Retrograde, there's a lot more coming up. Last week we talked about the molt, our shedding skin and all these things are coming up in our business processes that worked before but are a bit wonky or team members that were perfectly fine before now have an axe to grind, or being used to being able to express yourself normally and people get it and understand you and things click but now there's more back and forth and some misunderstandings.

In order to rock your retrograde, if these things are coming up and you're getting delays, and people are driving crazy on the road and you're thinking, "Hmm, what's wrong with them?" - the operative is to slow down. It's not them needing to slow down but it's actually you.

And here's why: the purpose of Mercury Retrograde is to bring up, this is what we discussed last week, to bring up all of the pieces of the former you and the former successful version of your lifestyle, health, business, communication style, and so on and so forth. It brings up all of the old to get it out so that we can make way for the new. And in order to appreciate rather than, oh my god, stress, and just gnaw, gnash and gnaw over how much is going differently or not according to plan, you want to have enough space, whether it's in time, physically or even mentally moreover, you want to have enough space so that you can slow down. Mental space, by the way, looks like being more mindful.

In fact, my guides said you slowing down can actually be a pleasurable experience. Now I know for some of you who are watching who are Type A for awesome and achiever, love it, right there with you. We want to go at a million miles an hour and we want it yesterday. Right? In a New York minute. Be kind to yourself: during retrograde it ain't happening, baby. And it's not happening not to torture you or because you're wrong, but actually this pace is adjusting you because there's a lot of cleaning and clearing happening. And remember the areas that we're looking for the cleaning and clearing happening: it's commerce, communication, travel, technology. Right? That's what mercury governs.

So how does one slow down? If we're used to going a million miles a minute or getting things done and moving on to the next thing, and hurrying up other people, because we wonder why is everyone else going so slow, how can we even begin to slow down? Be kind to yourself. The way that you specifically slow down is connect to your senses, this week in particular. Count them with me. Five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, smell.

Sight.Are you really tuned into the pleasure or the simulation rather of how things are looking? Sight.

Sound, are you really only listening to things that are feeding your energy or is there noise and racket that you could do something about clearing out of the way? Sound.

Taste, how are you savoring the food that you're putting into your body? Or are you using food or wine to numb this trip, these trips up in your pace? Right? Are we numbing the bumpy ride and the interruptions, positive interruptions that we're going through? Taste.

Touch, do you have textures around you that are pleasing and calming or are the textures around you and the way that your clothes are fitting, right, and so on and so forth, are the textures not sensually pleasing? Or what type of communication do you want the texture to give? Do you want safety, pleasure, clean? Do you want svelte, smooth, et cetera? What are the textures around you communicating? Touch.

Smell. How are the scents in your environment? Are they reminding you to stop and enjoy? If it's a scented candle or your favorite perfume or no smells, that may work. Maybe there's too much going on, maybe someone in the office is wearing those crazy oils and broadcasting, "I smell like a giant peppermint!" to everyone. Be kind to yourself. If you need a little bit less of that. Now, more than ever, is the time to tune into your five senses to help you slow down so that you can be present to what's coming up and clearing through you. Smell.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. I'm going to come on up. Indigo Angel oracle cards we're journeying with all this month. Thank you Doreen Virtue for making this deck. One of ... Whoa! Did you see that? I didn't even get to tell you, "Oh, we have oracle cards and stuff here at the Dojo that you could come and play with". One just lept out.  All right, what do we need to know right now about slowing down angels?

Nature. Couldn't be better. Hello-o! I mean you can't make this stuff up. So the angels are bringing up nature in particular this week because nature is so grounding. Get out of the house, get out of the office. Take time, make time, create time to reconnect to nature. Whether it's gardening and getting your hands in the dirt, and enjoying all of the five senses massage that comes with gardening, or if it's going for a hike, or even if it's just a four or five minute walk outside. And yes, even in the rain. Grab your umbrella and enjoy the sensual massage of being out in nature. Feel the warmth. Or the breeze knocking the dust off of you and helping you to remember to relax and slow down. Allow the letting go process to be pleasurable.

So I want to know what's coming up for you around this. Go ahead and comment below or send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. And if you need help slowing down, because you're a Type A and you want things done yesterday and you're wondering why you keep hitting that upper glass ceiling in your life and business, head on over to https://victoriawhitfield.com/contact and get on my calendar so that you and I can talk about that. Okay? Happy enjoying nature and rock your retrograde! We'll see you next week. Bye.

Just for today...

Make time in your schedule to go outside for a slow, sensual walk.

As you walk slowly, mindfully take in and savor the sights, sounds, tastes, textures and scents of nature - the fresh air, the beautiful colors, the spaciousness.

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

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

We're starting off a new series now and it's specifically on rocking your retrograde.

And so starting now and over the next four videos we're going to talk about exactly how to get the most out of being in mercury retrograde. And here's the reason why you should care as an energy sensitive and spiritual entrepreneur or business owner, or you're just someone who is professional and out and working during this time and you can pick up on the energy.

Here's why you need to know about this: For one, oh my goodness, mercury retrograde comes about four times a year and it's for three weeks each and every time. At the filming of this video, mercury retrograde has just begun so you're getting that retrogrady energy as well as you watch it.

So be kind to yourself if you're starting to feel a little bit off. And so if you're used to being on your game, expecting all the technology and the travel to work, expecting you to be completely dead on with all of your speaking and presentations, expecting others to understand exactly what you're communicating. If you're used to things swimming along and being super productive without interruption, mercury retrograde is a lovely kick in the patoodie.

Because we're being invited to come outside of that normal productivity cycle. And let's talk about why that happens. Before we get to that, I just want to make it clear, if you're like, "Oh my God Victoria, I have no idea what mercury retrograde is," what's happening? I don't understand. Wonderful. 101 as far as mercury retrograde is, it's when astrologically there's an optical illusion in the night sky of the planet mercury going in the opposite direction instead of heading in it's typical orbit through the night sky. And the reason why is because from our vantage point, mercury is going on the edge, the very thin dip. It doesn't revolve in a perfect circle in it's transit through space. It's a very long oval. And when it gets to that long oval point, right there at the point, it starts looking, from our vantage point, our own perspective, that things are going backwards. And astrologically speaking, mercury governs communication, commerce, business, technology and travel.

From our perspective, from our vantage point, all of these areas look like they're going backwards. It looks like there's problems cropping up. And it happens for three weeks four times a year. Sometimes three times a year but it's usually around four times a year. This is a quarterly, semi-quarterly occurrence. Be kind to yourself if you're susceptible to natural energy, forces of nature. We're going to be talking over the next four videos how you can, instead of feeling like everything's going backward and hitting the fan for you, you can actually catch this wave of deep clearing and healing energy that the universe is sending us. And you can use it specifically to deepen your own healing as well as improve all of the systems and standard operations within your travel, your technology, commerce and communications.

So this is a time for up leveling, right? So we've got to rock our retrogrades because you have been asking for more. You're in your manifesting process, you're open to being all that you can be. And in nature, the way that she copes with becoming more than what she was before is by molting, right? We have seasons. Whether you're looking at bird, right, or a deer's antlers or a bird shedding her feathers, molting, or the deer molting his antlers or the snake shedding skin, it's because there's growth happening.

Or here in New Jersey we have four seasons. So we're going into fall in a little bit, otherwise known as autumn. And the leaves fall, right? The trees themselves are molting because this is a process of sustainable productivity. You're witnessing one of the steps in the process of sustainable productivity. The next time you see something go a bit awry or is not working the way that you used to expect it to in your communication, travel, technology or commerce, in those areas of your life, for this week in particular, be on the lookout for that. Because you have to acknowledge that there is progress. This is one step in the right direction of letting go.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. I'm going to pop up a wee bit closer so you can see them. Back with you, Indigo Angel Oracle cards deck. This is for those of us who are energy sensitive. Thank you, Doreen Virtue for creating this deck to keep us inspired when the energy gets a bit thick and a bit tough to move through. So Angels, what do we need to know right now about rocking our retrograde? And allowing the molt?

Oh yeah. Self reflection. So good. Kind of the perfect segue to what we're going to be speaking about for the next few videos. Self reflection. The angels are bringing this card forward, in particular, to help you slow down and take a good look at who you think you are and who you really are. Right? The reason why we're "molting" is because you have been so filled, so productive and so ready, you've taken in so much brilliance that it's time to let go of who you think you are, the mini you and make room for who you really are. The next iteration of your brilliance. The next level of your business, the next program that you are being called to launch or the next book that you're being pulled to write.

There's a shedding process of your self that has got to take place naturally in order to allow that to happen. So send me an email back, comment below, what comes up for you around this topic? Are you feeling the molt? Right? Be kind to yourself, we're slowing down in our productivity cycle seasons. So let me know what comes up for you around taking time for ore self reflection, journaling, just being aware. You're going to be okay, we're in it together. And if you have more questions and you do want more support, especially during this time, go ahead to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Get on my calendar and let's connect, you  and me one on one to talk about your unique situation.

I'll see you next week, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so you get these love letters first every weekend. Bye.

Just for today...

Let go and allow "The Molt" to happen this time.

See your fatigue, frustration or lack of focus as a sign of you shedding what no longer serves you in life and business.

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

This is week four of four of our exploration of what is at stake being an empath entrepreneur.

If this is the first time you're seeing me, please make sure you stop now and go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com to start from part one so that you're grounded in this process. For week four of four my guides have asked us to discuss the power of minding your tribe. Mind your tribe as an empath entrepreneur, as an empath with professional engagements, as an empath growing and advancing his or her career. Mind your tribe.

You know, last week we discussed what your needs are, and we explored understanding the power of environment. Environment meaning the physical environment within which you work. This is super important because how grounded and clear your environment around you is really dictates how productive, focused and effective you're able to be in business and in your career. Now, we're taking that one step further to mind your tribe as an empath entrepreneur.

This is regarding not only the physical things that you have in your environment, making sure that it's clean, orderly, gentle, loving, reminding you of your highest self, reminding you of your own positive inherent nature, your own inherent clarity and empowerment. It’s not just having lovely things – to some extent, if you're by yourself, okay, that's a great start – but now the guides want us to discuss the power of minding our tribe of people around us.

What is this concept of tribe, by the way? Well, a tribe is similar to a family. It is a group of those of us who are cut from the same cloth, emotionally and spiritually speaking. That's what we mean when we're talking about a tribe. What we’re talking about is not just if you are an indigenous person, like your tribe genetically speaking, but I'm talking about for everyone, for all of us. It’s feeling like we have our posse, our cheerleading squad, our equals, the people who are on that same emotional, energetic, spiritual and even professional level. Mind your tribe.

I want you to think for a moment right now as we invoke this topic. Who are the five people you spend the most time with? Who are the five people who have influenced your outlook the most? Who are the five people that you purchase the most things from? Who are the five people whose books, articles and blogs you read or listen to the most? Who are the five people, if you have five, who when stuff hits the fan, you could call them and lean on them? Mind your tribe. Be kind to yourself. Having those who are strong enough to uphold you as the strong one, having five is uncommon. We're lucky if we even have one, maybe two.

Ensuring that as an empath, you have nourishing people around you is part of building that nourishing environment that keeps your energy clear, productive, bright and uplifting. If there aren’t good people around you, be kind to yourself. If there are people around you who shoot down your creative ideas, who encourage you to be pessimistic, fearful, competitive, insecure or doubtful, be kind to yourself. These may not be nourishing people for your tribe.

How do you know if someone is nourishing for your tribe? Because when you're around them, your energy feels clear, or in other words, when you're around them, emotionally you feel safe, uplifted and inspired in a positive way. So, how many people do you have around you that make you feel safe, uplifted and inspired? They don't have to be physically next to you in order to nourish you. As an empath, we have this gift of being able to absorb others' physical and emotional feelings, but not just in person, like right here physically in the room with you and I. We can feel them at a distance.

In fact, time and space have no dictation, they have no governance over how effective your empathic sense may be. It could be that you spend your time really soaking up your grandmother's wisdom. When you think of what to do or how to make a decision, immediately your mind goes to your grandmother. Who's an excellent example of this? Other than myself, I would have to say Lisa Nichols. She's always talking about all that wonderful, wonderful wisdom she soaked up from her grandmother. Bringing that up in her. Her grandmother, although she may be more than alive at this time is still part of her tribe, and through Lisa, her grandmother inspires millions. Now that’s a high vibe tribe. Positive vibes only!

So, mind your tribe. Does this mean you need to cut people out of your life and stop being around them? I would say leave that to your own discretion. For someone who's survived abuse, there comes a certain point where you say no more and then you're out, or in my case, there came a point where I said, "I have to leave." I had to cut this person out of my life. It was not healthy, but at the same time, maybe this is a complicated relationship that is not necessarily abusive. It's just an opportunity for you to learn how to communicate better. Maybe it's your life partner or your child, so on and so forth.

In that respect, what you want to do, if the people who are very close to you aren't very nourishing, is to go and seek out those who are nourishing. Add more good rather than subtract the bad. Just keep crowding yourself with more good, nourishing, uplifting, inspiring and safe people. Pile them on. Pile them on. Five to one ratio, some people have recommended, if you're a numbers person, to bring in more of that love to surround you. As an empath, you need nourishing people. You need that high vibe tribe to keep your energy clear and flowing abundantly, organically.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. All month long we have been journeying with Archangel Michael. Again, he’s the patron angel of protection and clearing and he's a wonderful archetype to start with, and to call on, to keep your energy clear. Okay, Archangel Michael, what do we need to know right now about minding our tribe as empathic entrepreneurs? ... This is where we'll leave off for the week, and for the month. My goodness! Innocence.

Innocence. Dear God and angels, thank you for helping me see that all of your qualities of pure love and light are reflected within me and all others. Help me embrace my God given innocence so that I may be at peace.

Okay. So I just heard very clearly in the energy that someone watching this right now has a mindset that says, "I don't deserve any better than what I have right now. I don't deserve to be around people who are safe or I'm not worthy because of X, Y, Z.” Or “I'm not good enough, so that means I cannot bring in people who are high vibe.” Or “I should just be satisfied with the people who are around me, no matter how much they hurt me." If that was you thinking that just now, I want you to know that the angels are assuring you that we are all at essence innocent. We are all at essence worthy, and what I mean by innocent is just as innocent as nature.

Whether or not you believe in the inherent beauty and dignity of nature, you would never assume evil of a wild animal. They're just there. They're just a part of nature. That kind of innocence is what we're talking about. Sure, we may do bad things, like a lion might cut apart another animal and eat it, but is that really bad? It's just the circle of life. I mean, sure, it's perceived bad to the one getting eaten, and for us it may appear violent, but at essence, that lion is still just a part of nature as is that other animal that they're consuming.

Remember your innocence. You are just as worthy as the next person to receive love, to feel safe at work. You are just as worthy whether you've done things that would earn you the Nobel peace prize or if you never got out of bed or even open your eyes. You are just as worthy of love and support. I love that the sun is coming out to affirm that, and on that note, please make sure you comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com. What's coming up for you hearing all of this?

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every single week. If you need more support, by the way, don't forget to go to VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact to set up your call. I would love to talk to you about how you could join our tribe here of high vibe entrepreneurs if you're looking for people who would be happy to be in your corner rooting for you as we altogether glow as we grow. I'll see you next week.

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

Bye for now!

Just for today...

Choose to believe that you are worthy, enough and inherently innocent and precious, just like the forests or the ocean.

See yourself as worthy of being surrounded by people who love, honor, respect and cherish you as are, because you are indeed precious.

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

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

This is week two of four in our exploration around being an empath entrepreneur.

What's at stake? What's it like? Let's own it. Let's talk this through. If this is your first exposure to me, I would highly recommend you go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and make sure that you start from week one, part one in this four-part series.

Without further ado, last week, we discussed what are some of the pitfalls and the challenges illuminating that of being an empath entrepreneur, so this week, we're going to talk about why this makes you a freaking superhero. Let's talk about it. Yeah, it's clear that there are things that are extra-challenging about being an empath. You are an emotional sponge, just to summarize. Whether or not you ask for it, you're soaking up what's going on in other people's emotional bodies.

Meaning, if they are feeling angry, or sad, or overwhelmed, or anxious, you're absorbing that without asking. You're just sponging it up into you, and you're also soaking up what's going on in people's physical bodies as well. If they have ache in their head or in their shoulder, or pain in their gut or jaw, so on and so forth, you feel that as well. When you're talking to them, you're thinking, "Ugh, why does my head hurt all of a sudden now that I'm in this space / now that I've walked into this new home?” For all my realtors out there, how many of you have walked into this new space, and thought, "Ugh, why am I getting all this back pain all of a sudden? I'm fine. I never had anything wrong with me before." Right? This is what happens when you're empathic. You soak up the emotional or physical energy of an environment.

But here's the thing: being an empath is not a curse. Absolutely not. It is a freaking advantage when you know how to work it properly. And here's why: Empaths are superior communicators. Superior as in like supercharged, superhuman communicators. So anyone who's watching right now, if you are a manager or a coach of any kind or a teacher of any kind, and you are empathic, that means that the people who you serve, those that are under you feel extra-heard, understood, seen, held, and honored by you. You more often than not happen to be the best boss that they have ever had or the best manager that they have ever had, the best coach that they have ever had because they usually say to you, "You get me like nobody else gets me. I don't know why I end up telling you way more or entrusting you with way more information or things about myself than other people. For some reason, you get me, and I feel so connected to you."

For those of you who are empaths and that serve others, you are super communicators and super connectors because of your empathic sense. You communicate with another person's energy. You pick up on what has been left unsaid. I want to tell you a brief story of when I was working with one of my private clients - she owns a bed and breakfast. She is incredibly brilliant, champions feminism and has had a long history of women’s sexual health advocacy, and she's just a freaking rock star. She's an earth angel. At the same time, she's so frustrated with me on our call because she's saying, "Victoria, I don't ... I can't get over how much I'm absorbing from people. I keep getting the feeling like I'm doing something wrong."

Remember last week when we spoke about that same feeling? How sometimes if you're an empath business owner or an empath professional, you feel like there's something wrong with you to the point that you're in the wrong vocation, no matter how much passion you have for it? She was at that state, and my guides sent me a vision for her because she was just so frustrated with being overwhelmed as an empath.
Sound familiar? Maybe this has been your situation, but the vision that my guides sent to me for her, and now I'm going to share with you, is this: they sent me a vision of, if you would remember, 9/11 where the Twin Towers fell. All of the rubble. So many lives lost, but at the same time, right after the towers fell, after the dust for the most part cleared, there was this whole other level of rescue missions that had to happen because people weren't all dead. They were trapped underneath the rubble.

So, picture this with me: all this concrete... huge piles of broken concrete, and twisted metal, and whatnot. Underneath the rubble, there are people who are praying to God, "Somebody come find me, please," or shouting, but their voices beneath all of that are just completely muffled to human ears. The real heroes - other than the courageous firefighters and our awesome first-responders, police workers, and volunteers, all humans out there searching - the unsung heroes of recovering people and finding them who've been trapped beneath the rubble of the Twin Towers were actually the rescue dogs. My guides are showing me these dogs who are going through all of the rubble, hearing the sounds of the screams from stories down or smelling the sense of bodies of people who are still alive, but don't even have the strength to make a sound and cry out for help. They can hear beneath the rubble. I'm getting the chills as I say this to you right now.

As an empath, you can hear those who are crying out for help, silently crying out, who are in deep need, and they are trapped beneath the rubble of their lives. Perhaps, they have no voice left, but you can hear them because you have that empathic sense, just like a canine has super smell and super hearing - and animals are also empathic, by the way. Let's throw that in there.

The same way that they're able to hear, and dig, and start clawing through until they get down to that person that they could feel the energy of and bring them, pull them back up from the darkness, out of being trapped, into the light, that is what you have been equipped to do in this lifetime. That is why being empathic is a freaking superpower. Can you feel it? Type it below. Enter it in the comments below, "I embrace my empathic superpower. I can hear people beneath the rubble of their lives." Own it!

For some people, they're buried in so much grief or so much shame that they're not comfortable enough, or don't have enough energy, or just don't give themselves enough time or permission to reach out and to start that healing process, or start that transformational process, but because you as an empath can hear what's going on beneath the surface, you're able to pull them up from the darkness and back into the light like none other. That's why they say, "You get me like none other." That's why they say, "Ah, I can entrust you with so much more," because they know you can hear them.

With that being said, I'm going to take it to the Oracle cards for the week. We're using the Archangel Michael Doreen Virtue Oracle cards deck. We are journeying with this deck all month. Alrighty. Such a powerful message this week. Isn't it good? Tell me, tell me. Is it good? Yeah! All right, angels. What do we need to know right now? Archangel Michael, what do we need to know right now about stepping into and owning our superpower as empath entrepreneurs and empathic professionals? I feel this one. Oh my goddess! I got a little bit of Déjà vu here. Sense of humor.

Sense of humor. "My prayer, thank you for helping me see the humor in this situation so I can lovingly laugh at human nature. I am willing to view my experience in a new light in order to attract love and healing energy." I love it. I love it. I love it! Brought you all the way down deep into your soul with that channeled message, and the angels are like, "Bring it back up. Turn it on!" One of the ways that empaths call people out of the darkness and into the light is actually through having a great sense of humor, being able to find the laughter in that incredibly oppressive and heavy situation.

Laughter is the best medicine. It is said that shamans, true shamans will keep you laughing the whole time while you are working with them and going through the healing process. The best coaches know how to keep their clients or their audiences giggling their way through their transformation, right? Being able to move through our pain with ease and joy. And the best mothers know that when their kids get a boo-boo, it's time to have them laugh their way through it so that they feel better and recover the energy that they think they may have been lost by getting hurt in the first place.

Is this vibrating with you? Are you feeling aligned with calling on your sense of humor about your empathic sense so that you can claim that power, the power that has always been yours by birthright? Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com, or if you need help connecting to your sense of humor about it because you've been in a state of overwhelm for too long, YOU might be the one who's beneath the rubble in your life right now. Make sure that you reach out so that we can book a session and talk about how I can best support you and glowing as you grow your business, so I'll see you next time.

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

Bye for now!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

This is a new series and my guides have shown me that we are going to be talking about what is it like to be an empath entrepreneur: an entrepreneur that happens to be highly empathic, or someone who is highly empathic, who happens to be an entrepreneur.

Over the next four weeks we're going to be journeying on this topic. And this week in particular, my guides asked us to shed some light on what are the unique challenges of being an empath and owning a business, being empathic and leading your team at your office. For those of us who are called to serve in a professional status of some sort, whether you are the manager of your shift or your office, whether you are the owner of your business or you are just getting started serving more clients as an entrepreneur, or even in the prelaunch stage – regardless of your current status, you are called to serve at a greater level. If that's you, then this one is to support you in particular. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your first notification every week of when these new love letters come out. Let's get to it. The pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur.

If you've never really heard of the term being empathic, let me break it down for you really quick. It is not the same as being empathetic. When you have empathy for others, this is a choice that you make to see yourself walking in somebody else's shoes. That's a compassionate mental move that you make to better communicate with others around you, and that's awesome.

However, being empathic removes your choice. This is where whether you want to or not, you feel what it's like to be in another person's emotions or to be in another person's physical body. You can feel the pain sensations that are going through somebody's body while you're interacting with them, or even if they're far away. That's being empathic. You can also feel emotionally when someone may be suppressing or hiding more intense emotion such as anger or great big joy, as if they're sitting on it, hiding it underneath a performance of a different, more acceptable emotion. You may pick up on that, or even in a space where someone passed away and they're not even physically there anymore, but you are able to sense the sadness or sense the happiness in their home. That is a sign that you are empathic.

Now, for those of you who already know that you're empathic, it can be super challenging. Because you are an emotional sponge. And as an emotional sponge, this is extra tough if you work in retail, or you have to handle a high volume of people physically coming to you. Maybe if you work at a stadium, serving crowds or you work at a storefront serving walk-ins. Your job requires you serve whoever walks in; maybe as a salon owner, you don't know who's the next person that's going to walk in to want a haircut. Or as an artist. Who's the next person who is going to come around and take a look at your art and want to give you a commission. Especially in those types of vocations, you don't really know who you're going to get – being a massage therapist is another one.

Be kind to yourself because you, more than ever, have got to learn about how to protect your energy, as an empath entrepreneur, as a professional who happens to be empathic.Why? Because you're an emotional sponge. So, shall we take a look at what can happen when you’re like this? By the way, comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com of your Empath Entrepreneur experiences. Ok?

See if some of the following challenges describe your previous situations. Maybe you've come in, you're juiced, you're ready to go, happy for the work day and a client, customer or prospect comes in and just derails all that good energy and sucks the life out of you. Have you ever had that? Those vampire clients and customers? Oh Man. Other pitfalls of being an empath and a professional person, or a business owner who's an empath is that you have so much love and so much passion for what you do, but unfortunately because of the emotions, the crappy emotions of the people that you work with, whether they're on your team or your clients, it just sucks the life out of you.

Perhaps you're at that point where you're feeling, “is this really what I should be even doing with my life? In the beginning it was so great, but now the people are just vultures.” Oh my goodness. Be kind to yourself, again if that's your situation. Other pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur is that where some people are able to get so much done in a day and just be able to maintain their focus and, wow, smash through their goals, breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough... for some reason, something about the environment that you're sitting in or something about the people that you're interacting with just completely sucks the energy and the focus, the productivity out of you.

Maybe it's your loved ones who derail you if you work at home, for example. This is another really tough situation that we're going to talk about over the next four weeks. Maybe your home life is not that supportive, and as you are still absorbing all of the frustration of your spouse and the anxiety of your kids into your body, you still have got to be on that client call. If you're a marketing coach or you're a life coach that does video coaching, you've got to be ready to be supportive while your energy is all funked up. As an empath entrepreneur, you sponged up, soaked up so much negativity, anxiety, anger, frustration from your environment that it's affecting your ability to perform at work. If any of that speaks to you, please stay tuned. Subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, and if it's bringing anyone to mind, make sure you hit that Share button and say, "you had better subscribed to this because she's talking to you, baby!"

Let's get to the oracle card of the week. We're going to be journeying with all month with Doreen Virtue's, Archangel Michael Oracle Cards deck, because Archangel Michael is a wonderful archetype for protection and covering. We have got to make sure that your energy feels nourished as you get out there and serve in a big way. You're called to it and you deserve to feel safe and sound and full of life and energy no matter who or what you are called to serve.

Okay, Angels, what do we as empath entrepreneurs need to know right now, especially when we're dealing with the challenges, the frustrations of being an empathic person who happens to own a business or who is a professional serving others? Whoa... We've got some pretty serious energy going here. What do we need to know? This card on top – hey! This is where we'll leave off for the week: Lean on God and the angels for support.

“Lean on God and the angels for support.My prayer: Dear God and the angels, I give you this situation now and completely. I step out of the way and allow divine miracles to shine through everyone and everything involved.”

As an empath more than anybody else in business, more than any other kind of person out there who is a professional and has a career and decides to participate professional activities, YOU have got to lean on Spirit, whatever that means to you. For those of you who are atheist, this means leaning on your human potential, your belief that life is going to have positive outcomes and is bringing you more good, rather than more bad. It’s about you committing to having more of a pronoia or a positive mindset rather than a paranoia or a negative mindset: give it all over to positive expectation.

Feed your faith, my dear, because you're going to be sponging up energy, anyway. You had better know that you've got someone or something watching your back - your power animals, your spirit guides, your angels, your fairies, whoever, your grandma. My grandma has got my back, in the energy. Lean on spirit when you feel depleted, that's what the angels want you to know this week in particular as we start owning it and opening up the conversation around what it means to be an empath in business.

Now, I want to hear from you. Make sure you comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com. I am here to support you. If you want to know more about how you can shift your state in business so that you feel like you are glowing, rather than draining yourself out, as you grow your business, reach out. Let me know and I'd be so happy to schedule a session with you so that we could talk about how we can best turn your light back on.

All right, I'll see you in the next one.

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

See you soon!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

This is week two of four in our exploration of money as spiritual, money as good, being open to, loving and healing our relationship to money.

Be kind to yourself, if this is your first video please hit stop, go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com so that you start from the very first part of our series so that you're grounded in this process.

Without further ado, this week in particular my guides are saying that we've got to talk about sales shame and scars. Sales shame, and scars. Now, this comes up all the time with my clients. Doesn't matter if it's someone who I've met while on the road or networking or for the first time or if it's one of my clients who's been with me for the last, gosh, six, seven years straight. We all, myself included, have a sense of sales shame and sales scars.

Now I remember hearing at a speech by Myron Golden where he said that by the time a child turns 18 years old, in the media the child has seen over 10,000 business owners killed on TV, online, and in the news. His point was that in that figure right there we see a systemic epidemic of putting down salespeople, of demonizing business owners, entrepreneurs, and people who are out there making money. There's a strategic demonization of that.

Our minds and our hearts become scarred seeing all of this. That figure really shocked me, but it makes sense because how many times do we – wait, I'll put it on me. I personally have been to so many sales presentations. I've walked in hoping someone would sell me what they're selling, legitimately excited to buy, and I've also walked in having made a commitment to myself, “I swear to God, if this person tries to sell me, I'm walking out.” Sound familiar?

I even have equated bad sales with unwanted touching, like being physically attacked. In my opinion, it is a mental rape when done horribly wrong. By the way, comment below, send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com if that's you, where you're finding yourself bracing when somebody's trying to sell you, as if you're about to get attacked mentally, emotionally, financially, and even spiritually by someone. Here's the thing, we have scars. We have scars because some people in the past, for all intents and purposes, used this powerful tool to, unfortunately, cut into our energy.

These are soul scars that we carry along the way and it's doubly bad for those of us who are entrepreneurs and business owners because part of the way that ... actually the only way that we're able to share our gifts at the level that we've been called to by God, by Source, is to sell - which means to serve. We've got to make the offer to invite people to work with us. If you sincerely are doing something that's going to help somebody, it's your divine duty to invite them to work with you. You shouldn't be ashamed of it.

But here we go with carrying our soul scars around sales. The feeling of having been - and I'm going to go there, and I'm going to repeat it just as I said without limiting myself - mentally and emotionally and even spiritually, financially raped. Mentally “raped” or attacked or scarred by someone whose done sales on us; this unwanted touching, mentally and energetically. Be kind to yourself if that has been your experience before, and you got totally taken advantage of. If that happened to you, from my heart to yours, I am so sorry. It's terrifying. You work so hard for your money, and then someone turns on your emotions and then leads you down a path that is unfortunately destructive to you.

It's heartbreaking when that happens, and because of our soul scars around sales, then we carry the shame, the shame, the shame – which hides the secret rage. This is especially prevalent in the holistic healing community, amongst life coaches, business coaches, marketing coaches, amongst reiki masters, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, osteopaths. I'm just going through all the different clients that I've had in my head who’ve had this sales shame: my goodness, bookkeepers, everyone who's loving and kind and really sincerely wanting to help people.

There's this haunting shame that comes for all of us when it’s time to share our gifts... Where you start thinking, “what if they're going to tell me they can't afford it? What do I do? I don't want to make people spend money, I feel bad.” Or, “who's going to pay for that? Maybe I shouldn't be charging so much. I should really even be doing this for free. Who gets paid to listen to their intuition and who gets paid to listen to people?” By the way - you're looking at and reading a blog someone who does, and I get paid well because I do tremendous work. I give massive, massive value, and I am grateful that my life’s purpose fully supports me.

Gosh, it is such a gift. And I pay good money for this spiritual and personal development stuff as well, for people to do energy work on me and to help me hear my intuition better and also to hear myself better. Absolutely. I pay five figures a year and I've paid out in total six figures now over the last few years to ensure that I am fully self-actualized. You absolutely should be charging for that, whatever you're healing gift is, but there's this haunting, persistent shame that we are carrying around charging. I'm hearing the word “why”, and the reason why we carry that shame is because we have the mistaken thought that we are protecting other people by not sharing our services with them.

Maybe you don't have your own business yet, but you're working at a company or working for a nonprofit that you sincerely believe in, that you absolutely love, and you're rooting for. You see the good that they do in the world, and then you see someone who could really benefit from the service or from donating to this gorgeous, fabulous, charitable cause.

Then here comes the shame of: “but I can't tell them because they're going to have to spend money,” or “I can't ask for the donation, I should be ashamed of myself, asking for this person’s money.” No, you shouldn't! No, you shouldn't! Don't should on yourself, please, if you have something powerful and healing to share with the world, if you have more love that you can pour into this world by sharing your product or service, please, please DO.

If I'm the only person who gets to tell you this, please believe in yourself, please believe that sales is service. Don't let your shame or your mistaken thinking that you are protecting people from spending money keep you from shining bright. We're in a dark world and we need your light, but in order for some of us to turn on, we have got to learn how to invest in ourselves.

I know for me, my life changed when I started to invest in myself. Personally, I am completely unrecognizable - go ahead on my Facebook and ask some of my friends who first became my friends when Facebook first came out, "Do you recognize Victoria now? Is she like she was 15, 20, 25 years ago?" They're like, "Nope, she's completely different” and some may even add “but she's more of herself than she's ever been." It's because I learned how to invest in myself by being open to receiving sales.

Now, this also has to do with discernment, and the more you cultivate your emotional capital - meaning your ability to value how you feel, and accrue good feeling, generate good feeling - the more you will cultivate your discernment, so that you don't have to be afraid of people selling you, and you don't have to be afraid of sharing your service with people who are desperately seeking it.

The only reason why you're carrying around that sales shame is actually because you haven't cultivated enough of your emotional capital. Pour into your positive feeling emotions, pour into that on a daily basis, that's the first thing I do every single day, and I've been doing it for 11 years straight, is to pour positive feeling, good feeling, raise my vibration, get into the vortex, shift my state, change my mind, raise my standards, put my mindset at the same level of the Universe to make sure that I am seeing with clear eyes. I’ve cultivated my discernment, my emotional capital, ceaselessly.

I'm hearing the oracle cards screaming in the air, "Oh my God, Victoria, hurry up and pull us." Okay, lol! Let me just stuff them back in this box because I was just sifting through them... This is the Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue and her son, Grant Virtue, if you want to pick it up yourself. Okay. Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now? About, gosh, our sales shame, our sales scars. - I love this: Bountiful Nature. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.

Bountiful Nature. Spending time in nature helps shift you to a higher vibration and reminds you of God’s infinite abundance. Go outside and enjoy a walk or hike with your pet, meditate beneath a tree, garden, sit under the stars, or do some other activity to connect with the limitless vastness.

This is so beautiful, this is a perfect ending point.

A lot of our fear and shame around selling, as well as being sold, is that there's not enough to go around. There's not enough even if you're selling something amazing or you're being sold on exactly what you need. That fear comes up that there's not enough to go around. Please let nature affirm you in that there is no limit to the amount of wealth, and abundance, and resource supporting you now, right now, in this moment.

Nature is a gorgeous example of interconnection and agreement, of constant inflow and outflow, inhale and exhale. Let that remind you of what true wealth and abundance looks like. Allow it to soothe your emotions so that you can raise your emotional vibration and increase your emotional capital.

All right, this is it, Bountiful Nature. Go outside, breath it in and receive. Okay. Send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com or comment below. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week, and I'll see on the next one.

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

Bye for now. --

Just for today...

Believe in yourself and believe that sales is service.

Take a deep breath in, and connect to your divine purpose, and then open your heart and mouth and share your healing work for the good of all involved.

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

Believe you're meant for more than just working hard to get by?

Tired of feeling limited by your circumstances?

Ever wonder what makes someone a leader vs. a follower?

There's a special sauce that triggers greatness in certain people that causes them to achieve more than the average human being.

Causes them to think big, reinvent themselves and leave a legacy when they're gone.

Watch this week's 15-minute Love Letter video, the 5th and final installment in our 5-week series on The Courage to Be Yourself, to learn from Bee Spirit Animal exactly what that special sauce is!

"I need to find a mentor."

This is week five of five. Five of five, of our deep dive into finding the courage to be yourself, your whole self, stepping into your divinity. Stepping into your purpose as a healer in this lifetime.

We've been journeying for the last couple weeks in particular with the bee animal totem. Honey bee animal totem, and we've been receiving more wisdom and insight into what's been going on along the path of our personal development.

If you haven't caught those previous two videos, again, pause. Go back on YouTube or on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com so that you can get all of the juicy bits.

This week in particular, honey bee has a third and final stage for us to consider as we're finding the courage to be ourselves. These three archetypes that her life cycle gives us as a gift and as a wisdom that we can receive around shaping our own destinies in life the natural way, right?

Following our instinct and our intuitive guidance with the health of bee animal totem. So, remembering, just a quick recap, first stage was larval, right? Where we're going around and around in circles, searching for ourselves, searching for sustenance, for insight, for more nourishment for ourselves because we're in need, right?

Think of the larva. That's what she's all about, is just herself, so that she can grow.

The sustenance that you get at that stage, though, forces you to grow. There's no going back unless something goes wrong. The way that it's designed is to inspire growth, right? Mother's milk causes the babies to grow.

Then at the worker stage where after we've matured as a larva, now we're at the worker stage where instead of searching to receive just for ourselves, now we're searching, searching for problems to solve.

We're searching for ways to contribute to others. This is really powerful because this is where we learn to collaborate and connect and communicate. Remember the dance, the magic communication dance of honey bee, so that they can build the hive as well as cause more reproduction throughout all of the plants around them by spreading their wonderful, wonderful contribution to all of us. Bee is sacred.

Here's the thing though. At both of those levels, there are clear limitations, right? Larva can only move within her small, little world, and the more she eats, the more there's no way she's going back. It's a clear, one way, linear street to being the worker and then worker bee has clear limitations as well.

The purpose of the worker bee is work, and worker bees work themselves to death. In fact, they only live about six to eight weeks, tops. 20 of those days is spent as the larva, so it's a hard life, it's a short life. Sure, they live longer in the winter because they're dormant for about five months, but with that, worker bee serves to work and to give to others.

There's a third archetype that honey bee is gifting us to see past only searching for yourself and only searching for others, and this is where we step outside of limitation and into legacy.

Know This: Step outside of just managing your Limitations and into building your Legacy in life and #business.

This is queen bee week. Now, oh my goodness, I could do an entire year, or in fact, by the time you're watching this, I've already done an entire retreat, three days, three whole days down the shore talking about being and stepping into queen presence, but suffice to say, we're going to dedicate a few minutes to harmonizing you with queen bee's energy.

First off, queen bee is different than the other bees in the hive. For one, she lives one to four years instead of six to eight weeks, so talk about legacy and longevity. Secondly, she gives birth to everybody in the hive.

All of their day to day tasks come from her come from protecting her and serving her, right? Following her pheromones, knowing what to do next. She generates purpose. She generates life.

How does one transition into this archetype and also applying it as a metaphor to life and business? This is stepping out of just being the worker into being the creator. How that happens in particular is two things.

One, queen bees come from queen bees. When you are cultivating that creator essence within you, you have got to get a mentor. One who has got it, too, where your central nervous system learns from hers or your business is molded after hers or your point of view reflects and is informed by that elevated point of view that comes from him.

Queen bees make queen bees. They don't come from anybody else. You have got to have a mentor.

So, that's one.

Two, the second thing that differentiates creating a queen bee is the royal jelly. Remember from before, the larva are drinking the mother's milk that worker leaves behind, right? Previous workers have left behind to support the generations coming afterward.

That mother's milk, though, coming from a worker, makes more workers whereas the royal jelly coming for the queen bee, by the queen bee, this initiates organs to be grown in that bee's body that others don't have access to.

There's a mindset within you that can be birthed and grown over time if you get another level of nourishment, one that comes from that higher paradigm, affirming that you are a creating, learning about exactly how to master your intuition, trust it, cultivate it.

Learning how to be the visionary in your life in business rather than just getting by and just being the worker, work, work, working, hard working. Smart working is a whole new paradigm and that is the wonderful archetype of the queen bee.

Now, I'm already hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy, but suffice to say, hold on a second, ladies, suffice to say that as we begin to transition out of worker, into queen, it's only a very few people are capable of doing this because queen bee is responsible, right?

Responsible for keeping the vision alive, keeping the tribe and the hive alive. It takes a lot of energy to birth ideas and to hold the vision. It may look cushy. She only stays in the hive the entire time of her life unless there's a swarm, like unless there's trouble, and if she does leave, half the whole swarm leaves with her. She's never by herself.

So there's not exactly freedom. There is agency, but with that agency comes responsibility as queen, as the visionary, as the healer. When you're fully stepping into your role as not just a healer but as a leader and a healer, there's a whole new level of nourishment that you need in the form of royal jelly as well as a whole new level of guidance that you need coming from mentorship.

So, we want to honor that. If you're called to queen, let's not take this lightly, but that is the third and final stage. So, let's get to it.

Goddesses, what do we need to know? Goddess Guidance from Doreen Virtue oracle cards deck. What do we need to know about having the courage to fully be ourselves, to step into that divinity and really become creators of our lives, not just working, working, working, day in and day out?

Okay. Sulis. Bodies of whatever. Spend time near water such as a lake, river or ocean to recharge your batteries. Here's where we're going to leave off this week. My guides are saying that the goddess Sulis, who watches over all bodies of water on earth specifically is coming forward because this is to help open you up to being limitless.

Think about water. Is there any limit to what water can do on planet earth? It's in the sky, underground, flowing down mountains, right? We've harnessed maybe a fraction, we've harnessed a fraction of the water coming through pipes and things like that, but how vast is the ocean? How incredibly vast is all of the icebergs as well? Limitlessness.

That is why we are considering beyond around water this week in particular. By the way, being by water is very, very healing. Not just the detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties of being around saltwater in particular ... Not to down play that, but emotionally, right?

Emotionally and spiritually, when you are by lakes, by the ocean, by waterfalls, by a river, there is an activation that happens in the body that is unique to being in the presence of water as well as drinking fresh alkaline, right? Alkalized water. It heals the body and cleans your blood.

So, to prepare moving from your worker into your queen, meditations with water, taking in clean water, being around water is going to help you release that limited mindset and step into your creator, you being a healing leader.

So, what's coming up for you hearing all this really powerful message this week? Send me an email back at info@VictoriaWhitfield.com and, by the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week.

Ready? Let's step into our queen. Whether you're a male or a female, it's the archetype.

Tell me about it. What comes up for you, all right? I'll see you next week. Bye.
