Are you sensitive to negative energy?

Can you feel other people's emotions, so much that you avoid being around certain groups and events?

Using energy candles, sprays and jewelry to protect yourself, only to find that they work temporarily and then ware off?

Being empathic and intuitive can get downright overwhelming from time to time.

It's natural to want to protect yourself when trying to connect spiritually and feel the energy because it's largely "the unknown.

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter video to make sure you don't fall into the trap of protection obsession!

"I'm going to make sure I never get hurt like that again."

This week, Source has asked for us to continue last week's conversation, specifically around protection obsession.

Now, if you are watching this video or if you pressed play, there's a pretty good chance that you are naturally intuitive or naturally empathic.

That means you pick up on the emotions and feelings of others without asking and without being prompted to, you just absorb them off of people, animals and places like a sponge, right?

Intuitive means that you get knowings about other's thoughts, feelings, histories, what's going on for them. You get the impulse to ask a question. You didn't even know why you asked it.

When you're naturally just underneath the big umbrella sensitive emotionally and energetically, spiritually speaking, when you're naturally sensitive because of the events of your life, you tend to be inclined to also be a little bit obsessed with protection.

You know, "We got to shut out all the negative people or we got to make sure that we don't watch the news ever. We got to make sure that we rip this person out of our lives." Right? "We can't eat food or we can't eat rice, can't eat gluten, can't eat meat, can't eat fruit, can't eat sugar, can't eat anything. We can't use any products." There's all of this ...

I'm not knocking. I'm just mirroring what might be going on in your head.

Because there's one vibration of honor, honoring what resonates best for us versus fear and protecting everything. When I'm going out, I got to wrap my face, my neck, my eyeballs and my head in addition to the rest of my body because I don't want to catch a cold. I don't want to catch anybody's cooties.

Or if I'm going out to an event, I got to make sure that I put on all the, if you're an oils person, I got to put on all the protection oils and the spray and the amulet and the ring and the bracelet and everything and I got to have the angel card in my bra and in my back pocket and in my purse next to my money to make sure that I'm protected.

Whenever I'm meditating, I'm setting up shields. I'm clearing out other people's gunk. I'm getting rid of it.

I'm making sure I have a thousand million brilliant shields up to make sure no-one can get through, so I don't ever have to get hurt again like I was once before. Take a deep breath in. As you exhale, release, be kind to yourself.

If that's you and I'm sure it's a caricature of you, sending a kiss, first of all. Secondly, you may be a bit protection obsessed.

Now, what comes through with that is not only are you protecting against the negative, bad things getting in.

It's not that you shouldn't be mindful and honoring your boundaries, but when we're protection obsessed where everything around us is about protection, we not only protect against the negative but we also protect or block out, push out or hinder, resist receiving the positive.

One example of that could be in love and relationships where, "Oh, you know, I've been betrayed in the past. So-and-so cheated on me" or "So-and-so did this to me. I'm shutting down." or "I'm going to make sure I keep my heart cold. I'll keep all of my thoughts and feelings close to me because I'm never going to be hurt like that ever, ever, ever again."

That's a lot to do to yourself because you're closing, in that example, you're closing down your heart to the negative, sure.

No more crusty crabs or knuckleheads as my father would call them. I call them crusty crabs. No more knuckleheads kind of an approach.

Great, but what about someone who wants to love, wants to give, wants to be loyal to you and comes into your sphere of protection? How are they going to make it through?

Know this: Too much protection stops not only bad from coming in, but also the good. Open your heart #bk2ys @SenseiWhitfield

I'll speak about even higher vibration now because I'm starting to hear the oracle cards calling. There are some of you who are watching this video, "Okay. Yeah, I get it, Victoria, you know, I got to have shields that filter, blah, blah, blah."

You're attracting and manifesting things in the energy for yourself, but the flip side of protection obsession is that unfortunately, what it can come up as is we're trying to manifest things and it's just not making it through.

It's like, "Why in the world? You know, I've been trying to conjure more clients" or "I've been trying to conjure that love in my life" or "I'm trying to conjure and manifest and realize and create that body and shape and health that I've been wanting to get back to for so long."

Protection obsession. You may have so many walls up that the vision that source has given you, that desire, that seed of desire that you have in you, just can't make it through.

Now, I'm really hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. It's the archangel oracle Cards. I know it's a little shiny. I hope you can see that. Another Doreen Virtue deck. Let's see what the angels have to say.

Archangels, what do we need to know right now about our protection obsession? How can we release that so that we can open to receive more love and abundance?

Hmm, interesting. This is my chief guide, the number one archangel that I vibrate with, so I think it's amazing that he's coming forward. Azrael. Archangel Azrael is coming forward to say, "Counselor." Hmm. "You are a natural counselor and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance."

I'm hearing this as a two-way street. On one side, yes, this is to validate, whoever is watching, if this isn't part of your profession now or your role in the family or your role in the friends circle as of right now, it's going to be very shortly, because you give natural advice that's healing words of wisdom all the time.

On the flip side, those who are in the counselor, in the advisor role, because you hold space, you're the one who's the responsible one, the one who's the healer or the advice and wisdom giver, because of that, you're the one who is in need the most of someone to hold space for you.

Now, we're cutting through and we're talking directly to you.

If you're someone who that's really resonating with, when's the last time you had someone hold space for you, specifically around talking about, "I need to talk through protection obsession. Am I blocking love in my life? Am I blocking health in my life? I am not blocked but I know it's very possible that I might be blocking things because I'm overprotective."

You need to be able to step out of the counselor role rather than telling people what to do all the time.

Look, I, me personally, Sensei Whitfield, I answer to 5 different mentors and counselors who if I need, I work with on a regular basis directly such as "This is what's coming up for me." Okay? Trust me. I got mine handled.

For you watching, make sure that you have someone who can hold space for you so that you don't have to feel so protection obsessed. Instead, maybe this week, you may begin opening up.

Comment below. Send me an email background what's coming up for you in this regard. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week and I'll see you next time. Muah. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Do you suffer from chronic, free-floating anxiety?

Stress and overwhelm draining your joy and ability to focus?

Feeling emotionally "blocked" and wish there was a way to clear yourself?

Carrying excessive emotional energy can be exhausting, and we often carry way more than we're even conscious of; it especially shows up in how you feel during moments that should be quiet and peaceful (but are antsy or worry-filled, instead).

Over the years, I've researched and come across countless mental and spiritual exercises to alleviate stress and anxiety, and Spirit has asked us to share one with you this week.

Watch the above video to learn a fun and easy technique to clear your emotional energy now!

"I just can't turn off. I'm always on! HELP!"

This week’s video covers a technique for emotional clearing.

As you know I love following a lot of Doreen Virtue's work as a new-age spiritual psychologist and intuitive channel.

In particular, Spirit said this week we should teach to the Tribe one of her methods called "The Archangel Michael Vacuuming" technique for clearing emotional energy.

There are thousands of techniques for clearing emotional energy, and they are helpful to those of us who are "always on," suffering from constant stress, anxiety and even insomnia.

Always ready and in “fight or flight” mode? That’s because your adrenal glands are being overstimulated and overused.

Maybe you're feeling anxious and carrying your stress with you recently, or even right now, because there was a recent fight that you had with a loved one, or you received some scathing criticism at work, or someone was just kind of a jerk and rubbed you the wrong way and you just can't get it off of your mind...

And it keeps replaying over and over in your head.

You say to yourself things like: "This is what I would've said to him if things would have went differently." And you continue to argue inside yourself.

So we're still attached to the fight. Hours, days, weeks, months, even years after it's happened we're still carrying the emotional energy.

Though it happened in the past, right now all the emotional energy comes out fresh because we're being triggered by the attachment we agree (in the present) to maintain (to the past offense).

Another way that excessive emotional energy can creep up on us is irrational fear.

For example: are you afraid of a certain room in the house? Like the basement? Have you assigned your dark basement the title of "haunted" or generally creepy? LOL!

Know This: You are in charge of how you feel right now. And you can choose to feel better. #takecharge #stressedout

The truth is, you give the basement it's creepy power over your emotions. Even if it is actually haunted, you don't have to feel afraid of or victimized by that!

If emotional energy is dominating your life, then that means YOU are carrying it around with you – re-upping it, reintegrating it, reactivating things that are done and over with.

And it’s up to YOU, and nobody else, to change that.

You can start by clearing some of it out. And a wonderful technique for doing that is the Archangel Michael Vacuuming meditation.

HOW TO DO IT:

1. Ask Archangel Michael, "Please be vacuum out my negative emotions right now."
2. Visualize him just above you with a huge healing vacuum in his hands.
3. See him sucking up all of the negative and dark emotional energy that is in your body, starting at the top of your head, down to your feet. The more you watch him do this, using your imagination, the better it works.
4. Then ask Archangel Michael, "Please bring your healing white light hose, and fill me in with healing white light. Dense, healing, high vibrational energy."
5. Visualize him with a fire hose filling your entire body in; the light comes out of it like marshmallow, very thick, very dense. Start again from the top of your head, down to your feet.
6. Once it's completed, say "thank you and so it is." And you're done!

The point is to play with your inner child while doing this.

This is not that serious, people!

Don't miss out on the power of this meditation right now because of your ego, growling “Grr! I’m a board-certified lawyer skeptic person and I hate marshmallows and angels are ridiculous! Gimmie my Xanax and forget this froo-froo BS!"

Relax, because the more playful and imaginative you are, the less stress and overwhelm you are capable of carrying, and the less stress you put on your adrenals.

On the other hand, you may be reading this and feel totally cool with angels, fairies, unicorns and rainbows.

If that's you, then High Five!

BUT WATCH IT!

As you're seeing Archangel Michael do a very detailed job, getting every single crevice completely saturated with healing white light until it is completely done, make sure that you're JUST watching, you're not taking the nozzle and doing it for him.

Just observe, let go, let him do his work. You can TRUST him. He happens to be an Archangel you know. They kinda know what they're doing.

Watch this week’s video strategy to be guided through this meditation and feel the healing energy flow!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Do you feel exhausted after talking to certain people and don't know why?

Annoyed how certain activities suck up way more of your time, yet leave you feeling like nothing much has actually gotten done?

Frustrated that no matter how much you give at work or at your organization, the more they ask of you?

There's a term for things that drain your energy -- spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. -- and it's called an Energy Vampire.

As hard-working, sensitive, loving and giving people, we tend to attract them -- Yikes!

Watch the above video to learn what an Energy Vampire is, and what to do about it.

"Blah, blah! I 'vant to suck your blood!"

This week’s topic is Energy Vampires.

Now, the vampires we're referring to you are not like the movies  where someone comes up to you, bites you on the neck and says, “ha! I got your energy!” drinking it out of you in the literal sense. No, this is very different.

Not everybody knows what an energy vampire is, but this Love Letter is for those who don't know what to do and don't know what an energy vampire is, and as well as for those of us who know all too well what they are, but don't know what to do about it. So let's get to it!

An energy vampire is someone or some thing – like an activity, or a space, an item – that for whatever reason when you are in its presence for an certain period of time, the more you're around them, the more drain you feel emotionally and physically.

What does that mean? The person, place, or thing could be really positive. It could be in Florida, a sunny day at the beach, and everything is supposed to be amazing, right?

You could be at a party spending all this time with these great people who are supposed to be really nice and they're your friends and family, or they're supposed to be your significant other or your children, or your pet, or even your business.

But it still drains you.

Here's how to tell if you're being drained:

If you are in this person, place, or thing's presence for let's say one hour

1) Do you feel more energized, do you feel excited, happy, wired, inspired, lifted up and encouraged?

2) Or after an hour in their presence, do you feel on guard, small, or hiding, or are you saying to yourself “ah, I'm getting tired.”?

The exhaustion starts setting in physically as well as emotionally. You say to yourself “I feel like I'm just talking to a brick wall here. We're getting nowhere, and the more energy I exert, it's like it's not enough.”

The more you give, the more, it takes, or the more hats you have to wear in order to be good enough or acceptable.

The person will tell you more of their life story – and you have to hear it in order for them to "make you understand" how they feel – and they keep talking about how “this happened to me, this and then this happened too...”

They feel great because they got to dump, dump, dump on you.

They’ll often start by saying something like “I just want to share.” or “Let me just get this off my chest” and onto yours, or “Just one more thing” over and over... Sound familiar?

Know This: My time and My space are a "No Dumping Zone." #affirmation #selfcare

Someone in the energy just told me to mention that in psychology, there is a phenomena called the “Doorknob Effect.” An example of this comes up often socially.

Imagine it's the end of your time together with someone – maybe you're doing a session with somebody or maybe someone came over for tea and just to talk and hang out – and you say: "Oh, well, time to go. I got to get going" so you can wrap things up.

You both walk over to the door, and then they touch the doorknob, stop and say, "Oh! One more thing I just thought of..."

It's like the doorknob can activate that “one more thing” for them. Whereas you on the other end are may be thinking, "Oh my god, I gotta go. I want to pee." Yeah... Energy vampires.

Not only on that level, but maybe we're in a relationship with one of them. Sometimes they not only suck our emotional energy and our physical energy, but also our financial energy.

They keep asking you for more, more, more. "Oh, I can't play this bill. Can you cover it?" Or, "Oh, I missed this." Or, "I really want that." It's just an escalation.

Here's the thing: We always want to give abundantly when we feel safe to, but it's important to tune in to how YOU feel when you're giving.

It helps to ask yourself, first: “okay, do I feel like I'm getting so much more spiritually and emotionally? Do I feel supported and sparkling when I give in a big way?” or “Do I feel like, all right, I'm pushing, we're working hard.” or “Maybe one day this person is going to become my vision of what they are” rather than accepting who they currently are at face value.

Ok, that's all well and good Victoria, but why do energy vampires exist? Where does all this come from?

Here's why: If any person, place, or thing is draining your energy – like where they just keep going, going, going as if the story that they're telling doesn't stop, or if they're sharing, they just don't stop talking and share the conversation time with you – it's because they, the person, place, or thing, is supremely ungrounded.

Now, what exactly is “being grounded,” and how does that apply to energy vampires?

You’ll have to watch the rest of this week’s video strategy to find out!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | What Are Energy Vampires and Etheric Cords? appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Having a hard time letting something go?

Still angry about what happened and can't forgive them, or yourself?

Know you "should" stop holding on to the past, but just don't know how?

It seems like every therapist, spiritual teacher, healer and guru tells us to "let go" so we can heal. But it seems like they just don't see how that is WAY easier said than done, right? JEEZ!

One way you can begin to let go and forgive is to understand why you're holding on, and what causes you to hold on in the first place.

Watch the above video to learn how to begin letting go to free yourself from the toxic energy of unforgiveness!

"Ugh. Really? Here we go again! Let's get back on and go for a ride on that old rollercoaster of emotions!"

Isn't it exhausting when the same old stuff just keeps coming up over and over?

You would think that you'd be fine by now, after all you've been through, right? You gave yourself space, said you were moving on, said you were done with the issue - you basically did everything that you were "supposed to" do.

And yet here it is again, the same old feeling is biting you in the butt and getting your emotions all riled up, reviving the whole sick cycle of feelings that you buried.

Perhaps you see that person that betrayed you years ago. Perhaps you watch a movie that triggers a memory. Or perhaps you happen to smell something that reminds you of how things used to be.

Then comes the anger, the sadness, the drama. They all fall on your head fresh like a ton of bricks. Wham!

You say to yourself: "They hurt me. How could this happen? This shouldn't have happened. Why does this always happen to me? It's not fair! It's wrong! It's wrong, damnit! I don't deserve this!" and so on...

Suddenly you find yourself angrily rejecting what happened or what "they" did all over again as if it's happening now, and it makes you feel clear, strong, and "in the right" - justifying how far you've come and what you've learned, how good of a person it made you, etc.

But at the same time, you feel grief and ache, having lost your innocence to that experience.

Pumping yourself up every so often like this always feels artificial as the underlying grief of having lost part of your innocence to what happened continues to weigh on your spirit... Sound familiar?

This is the cycle of unforgiveness.

And it's maddening.

Time is just an emotion; it's made up. And the feeling of unforgiveness is actually proof that time doesn't exist, because it can cause "old" experiences to be brand new in the moment because they are so full of emotion.

In fact, your brain knows that time doesn't exist, and so once you start reliving the emotions of the "past" your brain can and will send signals to your body to trigger your fight or flight response - your heart rate increases, your palms and armpits sweat, your jaw tightens, your digestion stops and your stress hormones release more and more.

All this from thoughts you keep thinking, or get triggered to think of again.

Being re-triggered and reliving these issues like this creates a fertile breeding ground for disease in your body and dis-ease in your life, by the way.

Chronic pain and illness are often caused by habitual holding on or an addiction to unforgiveness. It is the body screaming against these toxic emotions being in your system.

You see, your body knows that those emotions and feelings are bad for you, so s/he will do whatever it takes to grab your attention to tell you that something mentally, emotionally or spiritually is seriously out of alignment - and you can gauge how out of alignment you are by how severe your body's disease is manifesting.

But how the heck do you kick an addiction to unforgiveness?

Well, the same way you would kick any addiction: start with WHY. It all starts with understanding WHY you would be addicted to unforgiveness in the first place.

Know this: Letting go starts with finding out why you're holding on in the first place. And it usually boils down to CONTROL. #forgiveness #freeyourmind

Here's the thing: no matter what happened that rubbed you the wrong way, it happened, and it made you feel powerless and not in control of your life and feelings in that moment.

Because of that, your identity - or "ego" - was compromised, and in the moment it (identity/ego) basically flipped the "freak out switch" to defend itself by getting angry, rebelling and infusing the situation with all kinds of inflammatory emotions.

These inflammatory emotions are meant to protect you, so you could survive the experience and continue living; they are part of your psyche's evolutionary, primal protective mechanism.

Think of the inflammatory emotions as inflating a big bubble suit around your body/essence to serve as a buffer that allows you to keep going, just like an airbag deploys in a car crash to save your life.

But what if you continued to live inside that mangled car after the car crash, holding on to the airbags for dear life?

Think of it. It's years later, and the wrecked car is overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, perhaps birds and squirrels have made their nests in the rubble, and people are driving past you on the highway in brand new cars totally oblivious to the fact that you're still living inside this car wreck just because the airbag deployed and made you feel safe ONCE.

That's what holding on looks like, and it's time to be willing to set yourself free from a self-imposed imprisonment.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows us how to let go and forgive for good!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

Take an inventory of past experiences that still trigger negative emotions for you by writing it down in your journal.

Then ask yourself and journal about these two questions: "1) How does feeling these emotions now make me feel justified, powerful or in control of what happened to me in the past? and 2) Can I just decide to feel powerful now without thinking about or basing my feeling upon what happened?"

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