I wanted to share with you this special message at this wonderful beach environment, to support you for our next Mercury Retrograde.

My guides to told me to “pull back on the arrow,” so that I could go forward full force with renewed energy. For me, that means being unplugged, so I'm going to teach you a little bit more about that before I share with you a special initiative that's going on here at the dojo. 

With that being said, if you haven't yet gone back on my blog and subscribed to the Love Letters or found where the blog is, hit pause, go back to victoriawhitfield.com/freegift, and make sure that you start there so that you're grounded in this process.

At the filming of this video, it's July in 2019, and we are getting ready for yet another Mercury Retrograde, starting July 7 and ending July 31. The real power, the wonderful healing power of Mercury Retrograde is actually that it helps us to see all of the drains in our energy. It reveals that bit by bit. For some of us, the drains have to be revealed in uncomfortable circumstances in order to get our attention, so if that’s you, I'm sending you so much love and support so that you're able to get through it, but the point is for you to pull back on the arrow this month, too.

In our ascension path as entrepreneurs and as professional people, we tend to get addicted to and base our worth on how much momentum we can generate: the more that we're able to move forward, the more that we're able to get things done - and get things done well - and cross things off of the task list. But, just the other day when I was speaking locally - and I've been out speaking a lot more recently, by the way, and I’m finding it's a lot of fun. I'm making a lot of really deep impact and making greeter, more intimate connections with the local tribe...

The other day when I was speaking, something that we went over was the power of working ON your business rather than just IN it. When you can set aside time and space to work On your business and not just In your business, that's when the quantum leaps happen. That's where the real progress that gets you back into alignment in a massive way, with your vision and your life purpose, tends to take off. With that being said, the gift of Mercury Retrograde is it causes us to step back, to pull back on the arrow and refocus what we're aiming at, and how we are aiming. And the more that we can improve our alignment, the more effective we become overall. So, if you have not prepared yourself for Mercury Retrograde, or if you have not had a good one before, I want to support you in doing that.

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

Over the next few weeks, we as a team, we're going to be re-releasing the “Rock Your Retrograde” Love Letters Mercury Retrograde video series, for two reasons. One, I did a really good job of explaining exactly what to do while Mercury Retrograde is happening, and for those of you who aren't familiar with it, I break it down in those videos, so stay tuned for that. And Two, the other purpose is for me myself to pull back on the arrow. I want to better serve you. After eight years of doing new content constantly, and you following my evolution over time, I want you to be able to be better served at this current level of vibration. We have the podcast out now. We're going on 50 episodes, and I want to be able to share that with you effectively.

Also we have the quarterly Strategic Spa Retreats to support you, such as the next one that we're about to have this month in Bay Head, New Jersey, on the beach, for grounding and clearing your energy as a conscious entrepreneur and helping you to get back on your path as the visionary that you've been called to be, not just someone who's tasking away and putting out fires left and right. There's so much more to your purpose than that, so with love, I want to be even more effective in maintaining our relationship and guiding you, and in order to do this, I'm going to take some space to pull back on my arrow as well, refocusing and retooling. Also I’ll take some time to be out in nature more, because I know I need that for my energy, especially as an empath.

So, I just wanted to do a really quick Love Letter this week. Focus this month in particular on pulling back on the arrow for your self so that you can refocus and retool, too. Just because it may look like you're going backwards, pulling back on the arrow doesn't mean that you are. We're refocusing and retooling, and that's the magic of Mercury Retrograde, the really deep magic of it. By the way, a Retrograde is an optical illusion. It looks like things are going backwards in the night sky, but that's actually not true. Things are still moving forward, but they appear to be going backwards. It's an optical illusion, so be kind to yourself. Keep calm and carry on.

If you're secretly feeling afraid of taking the time to step back, reevaluate, retool, refocus, then this is your chance to do it, and we're here to support you as a tribe. If you have not joined the Deep Dive Retreat yet, I think I have one last space available. Go ahead to http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat to reserve the last spot for yourself. We would love to see you there, this year or next. 

I'm sending you so much love. Have a happy Retrograde and enjoy the journey. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Focus on Pulling Back on The Arrow.

Make time to refocus, retool and review How you work, rather than just going through the motions.

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

The post Love Letters | Pull Back On The Arrow – Mercury Retrograde Special appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Are you ready to give yourself permission to shift your state?

So many times as we go about our workday we’re focused on getting task, after task, after task done.

And before you know it, BAM! The sun’s down, everybody’s driving home, and you're left wondering what happened...

If you're not careful, you could miss out on an entire season!

Is staying glued to your computer screen or chained to your desk all day every day really that important? It can and DOES take a toll on your physical and emotional health.

Watch the above 9-minute video to understand how to shift your emotional and energetic state in a quick and easy way!

"I'm too busy for that!"

This week the spirit wanted to share with you the idea of giving yourself permission, specifically permission shift your state and to be out in nature.

So many times as we go about our day we’re focused on getting task, after task, after task done that you walk into work and before you know it, bam! The sun’s down, everybody’s driving home.

There’s no time to be outside because you have to go home and cook dinner, you have to get the kids, etc.

This creates a lack of a sense of body awareness, the Energy is saying.

So, it’s only appropriate that energy would want us to tell you that while we are outside. If you can’t get outside yet, please by all means enjoy the wonderful nature energy in this week's video as I talk to you from Jackie’s On the Reef in Negril, Jamaica.

What the energy is saying, first and foremost about this topic of giving yourself permission to be outside, is it’s time to increase your self-awareness, if only just for now.

Close your eyes for a moment, take a deep breath in and notice how does your body feel?

How are your shoulders sitting? How do your eyes feel? How do your hips feel, your thighs, your knees and ankles, your feet and hands?

If you are not self-aware you’re not connected to where your body’s state is at right now, and without that awareness, there’s no way that you’re even going to get to the point of giving yourself permission to change your state.

One of the biggest parts of energy management and emotional clearing is learning to actively change your states.

That means your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual states. And one awesome, fast and easy way that you can do that is by simply going outside.

Now, how long do you need to be outside, I heard someone in the energy just ask? It depends. How much time do you have? You can go out for 5 minutes.

As always, you know I’m big on cell phone timers, so just hit the timer on your cell phone and just be outside for no reason other than being outside.

Earth is alive.

Even if you’re in the big city, or wherever you are, earth is still alive. As soon as you go outside the wind is going to speak to you, the trees, flowers, animals, even if it’s just someone walking their dog coming by you, or the birds – pigeons if you’re in New York, lol!

Know this: #Nature is a living, breathing consciousness. The more you immerse yourself in her, the more you become like her.

Even if it’s just 5 minutes; this is what the energy’s been putting in my heart to share with you this week.

The Oracle Card that we pulled for the week, is called the Arrow Master. The Arrow Master is all about focus; focus and hitting your mark.

You have to have a mark in the first place, though, if you’re going to hit it.

So tune into yourself first, aim to hit the mental mark of “where is my state now?” and if as you tune in you notice it’s uncomfortable, fire! As in, decide to shift it.

It’s okay to do that. It’s okay to give yourself permission – and you do have permission – to hit your mark.

So, what is the mark that you’re looking to hit? What we're really asking is: what’s a goal that you desire to achieve?

Is there a certain way that you want to feel throughout your work day, or your workweek, or the month, or is there just a way you want to feel period? I’m talking in terms of not only physical feeling, but also emotionally.

Write it down. Get it clear. Don’t just hold it in your head.

Perhaps you observed it in someone else? Maybe a relaxing environment like being on the beach in Negril, Jamaica inspires you, and you think to yourself: “you know what? That’s a mark that I would love to hit. I would love to be in Negril, Jamaica, or I would love to just be outside, even for a few minutes just to ‘be’ and enjoy myself.”

Hold that goal, hold that focus in your mind, remind yourself often.

Re-mind, as in reintegrate, repopulate, and re-seed yourself, as in planting seeds in your mind; re-mind yourself of what your mark is and it’s sure to happen.

How? By the universal Law of Attraction, which states: “that which is like energy is attracted.”

If you vibrate with thoughts like: “you know what? I want to feel better. I want my body to be more peaceful, and I want to know what it’s like to have more freedom in my life,” and you re-mind and reintegrate that over and over, you re-seed yourself, continuously planting those seeds in your mental energy, then it all becomes part of your subconscious.

And your subconscious is what is really creating and dictating the events and experiences of your life.

Remember be the Arrow Master this week.

If you don’t hit your mark, I just heard that in the energy to tell you to be kind to yourself.

It may come to you in a way that was unexpected, or you may not be taking actions that spirit’s been putting in your gut to do, when spirit’s been saying “this is what’s the next step that needs to happen in order for you to hit your mark.”

I know exactly how that feels. It’s natural to be afraid.

One thing that works for me personally is that every time I’m nervous about taking an action, if I’m thinking, “Oh, I don’t know, that’s going to cost a lot of money,” or, “This is inconvenient,” blah, blah, blah – you know all those excuses that come up.

First, I notice that all excuses are fearful, and fear-fueled.

And then I shift my state by remembering that fear and excitement are 2 sides of the same coin.

So I go right into that fear, I notice it, and I ask myself, “Well, hmm, how can I be excited about this?” and then we use that energy to move forward.

If this speaks to you, great! Comment below, send me an email back, or a video message response. I’d love to hear how this has inspired you.

If any of the messages we’ve shared inspired you, great, but honestly tell me: can you feel the water energy through the camera right now in the video?

It’s incredible here in Jamaica. I wish you were here. We’ll be back here in 2016, and I look forward to seeing you here. There’s more information coming in the next few months about that, but until then, big hugs and kisses!

I’ll see you next week!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
