Ashamed of your family’s “money drama”?

Avoiding opening the mail, because you’re too scared to look at your account statement?

Do money or sales conversations give you anxiety and make you feel insecure?

Deep healing starts with awareness and transparency.

This is not for the faint of heart, but you’re worth it!

Watch this week’s 12-minute Love Letter, the second of our 4-part series, to find out exactly where to begin on the path to deep financial healing.

"I have so much fear around investments."

This is week two of four of our deep dive into financial healing. It's about time we talked about financial healing.

By the way, go ahead and type in the comments below, type that in.

Go ahead and type in the comments below, what does financial healing look like for you, because that's what we're really going to be talking about this week in particular.

How we're going to do it, however, is let's take a little bit of a journey to the shadow, to your shadow side. This is where we hold shame and fear, the dark side.

Whenever we're going through a healing process, we want to bring our healing gaze as in the healing awareness, healers for those of you who are listening, holistic healers, therapists, etc. You understand how this works.

You bring the healing gaze, holistic healing, loving, presence and awareness to the dark side and we wait for health to emerge because it always does naturally. Wherever your awareness goes, energy flows. Wherever your gaze goes is where healing goes.

So be kind to yourself if when it comes to money, whether it's receiving, saving, or sharing, all of that, the life cycle of money or even thinking about your finances in general, if that gives you anxiety, we talked about that last week of why we really need you financially healthy now.

I'm here to provide spiritual support for entrepreneurs. That's what I do. That's what we do here at the institute and at the dojo as an extension of her. So it's important for you to give yourself the space for this spiritual healing, yes, around your finances. We covered that last week. If you missed it, go ahead and rewatch that video and then come back to this one.

This week we want to honor what shame and fear you have in your shadow around financial healing. When I say that, what comes up for you? Perhaps there are certain people that have influenced the way that you feel about financial energy, such as your parents or guardians, mentors or different celebrities or figures that you attribute authority to.

Now, as we discussed last week, what's really underneath this is your sense of safety. That's why we're talking about financial healing. So those who work to provide safety really imprinted on your blueprint for financial health. Did you catch that?

The people who you depended on for feeling safe in life, they affect, they imprinted on your blueprint for financial health so this week in particular your goal is to bring your eyes back to your blueprint for financial health and look at it.

Know this: The people who you depended on to feel safe left an imprint on your blueprint for financial health.

I'm not saying, "Go in and tear it apart. You got to get an accountant. You got to get the bookkeeper. You got to do an audit. You got to give a million dollars to these charities." No, no, no.

Healing starts with awareness, so I want you right now, right now, as you and I are holding this space together, pause for a moment and name your greatest fear. Name your greatest shame around financial healing, your relationship with your finances. Where do you carry ...

I want you to name it. You can say it out loud, or if you want to write it down to anchor it or think it in your mind, get super clear.

Where is your greatest fear and your greatest shame in relationship to finances in your life?

Is there a story that you tell yourself as a man for example that, "I'm the provider and it's a shame that I can't provide for my family at the level that I'm expected to," or as a woman, "I have so much fear around investments and making sure that everything is saved up and everything is paid. I have so much fear of knowing all of the numbers, being all the detailedness," or vice versa. What comes up for you around that?

"I have so much shame that I've made this much money and these other members of my family or social circles are at this level of money, so I hide myself from people," or "I have so much fear," healers, "Of sharing what I do that people are going to judge me. 'How dare you charge for doing what you love,' so afraid of what people are going to think of me," or, "I have so much fear of giving to charities because I got burned in the past or I've heard about this example of them completely misusing funds, so I'm just not going to give to anybody because what's the use anyway?" What's your greatest fear and what's your greatest shame?

Our big why, our life purpose, so that usually comes from our pain, and fear and shame are big pain points for us. So what's powerful about healing and bringing your awareness to what's your biggest fear and what's your biggest shame around your relationship with finances in life is that in can actually fuel you.

Once you know, once you set eyes on it, this can actually become a huge part of your passion and purpose as you heal first, then you're going to be able to inspire and enable others to heal the shame, but you first. You first.

So get clear. That's your assignment for this week.

I'm hearing the Oracle cards coming forward in the energy. This month we are journeying with the Angels of Abundance.

Check them out. One of the over 20 decks that have been donated here at the dojo, and I'm open to receive. If you have a deck that you'd like to share with the tribe here at the dojo, send me an email back or comment below. I'd be happy to receive that. Angels, what do we need to know about really owning our shadow side? Whoa. Did you see that? Hey. Okay.

"Pay yourself first. Make yourself your most important financial obligation."

Who's afraid of that? As I read that, someone feels ashamed to make themselves their most important financial obligation, like, "I should be ashamed of myself paying myself first. No, I got to pay all my employees first." "What? Pay me first? No, no, no, no. I got to do all the other things."

You can run down the list. I'm not going to. We don't have enough time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that. Mwah. You matter. I didn't even finish reading the card.

"Make yourself your most important financial obligation by setting aside a portion of your income every time you are paid."

By the way, throw it in there, Profit First, fabulous book. That's having those accounts. Make sure that you are paying yourself first.

That's a book, by the way, Mike Michalowicz wrote, Profit First. Great book. He's a great guy too. Met him. He's awesome, and what he's doing in the world is amazing.

"This loving form of self-care ensures that you'll have savings to invest in your present and your future." So this Oracle card, the Angels are bringing forward this Oracle card in particular to lift shame away from valuing yourself first. First, first, first, first, first. Fear of doing that first.

"Well, what about the taxes and the accounting and blah, blah, blah?" "What if I don't have enough? What if I don't have enough?" That doesn't sound like a very abundant mindset. We will talk about that in the upcoming weeks this month, but pay yourself first. What fear and shame comes up around that?

I just want you to be with the dark side by the way this week in particular. Don't try to fix it. Just acknowledge it. This is our acknowledgement week.

We're going to continue through your financial healing process. I'm sending you so much love. Make sure you comment below. Send me an email back what came up for you.

Subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and get ready for it. Mwah. See you next time. Bye.

The post Love Letters | Beginning Deep Financial Healing – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Hate your body?

Self-conscious about how you look?

"Looking good" on the outside according to others, but secretly suffering emotionally on the inside?

News flash: your body image distracts you from truly loving yourself.

Image alone is not sufficient -- you deserve deeper nourishment than that!

Watch this week's 12-minute Love Letter video to discover a simple yet profound hack that uses your body to teach you to deeply love yourself, flaws and all.

"I need better nourishment."

Whether you are looking to improve your personal or professional health, please let this video be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

This is week two of four. Our four week deep dive into the power of loving yourself.

Maybe it's time, like if you've clicked play on this video, maybe it's time for you learn how to love yourself at a whole new level, because as we covered last week, you've been called to love others in a big way.

But, in order for you to fill their cup and quench their thirst for love and support, you have got to go and get a faucet of water with which you can fill your pitcher and your cup first. So, that you can continue to serve them.

So, this week. Week two, the guides have said it's time for us to talk about loving your physical body now.

For some of us, this is a lifelong battle against the grain of loving our physical body. We hate our bodies.

Hate your greeters. I hate the extra juice. All the extra things and so on. Or, the different scars that we've accrued over time. Or, maybe you don't like your curly hair, or your straight hair, or your skin tone, or your eyes, or your ears, or your nose, or your tooth, right?

There's so much, so much emotion that's caught up in the physical representation and the physical presentation of our bodies that we can get caught up in body hatred, rather than love.

So, be kind to yourself. If that's you, if you're still battling with your weight or your skin condition, or part of your body that you've just always hated, this week is for you, darling. So, again, the reason why we're taking the four week approach to loving ourselves is we want to take a deep dive together.

And, there's power in loving yourself, but sometimes we just flat don't know how.

We hear it all the time in different positive writings as we were talking about last week, you've got to love yourself, you've got to love yourself.

Different people in the media being positive, you've got to love yourself so that you can love others and so on and so forth.

But, how in the world do we do that? So, week two through four is exactly how. This week, we're going to focus on loving your body. Loving our bodies.

So, when we're beginning with body image on the path to loving ourselves, if we begin on the physical level from the standpoint of body image, we're already setup to completely fail.

Loving your body has nothing to do with your body image. Love is bigger than image.

So, this is the message from the guides from you. This week in particular, if you've always been struggling with body image and never feeling enough, right, looking in the mirror and not really feeling like it's ever enough or ever completely arranged, and nice. Image will not get you there.

Know this: Loving your body has nothing to do with body image; Love is bigger than that. Image is circumstantial, conditional.

If we're looking to increase your self-love and loving yourself, starting from the physical, the image of your body is the wrong place to start.

And, you know I don't really deal in the whole right versus wrong thing, but I'm going to tell you, you're setting yourself up for the scenic route and I don't mean that in a positive way, if you're going for body image. So, here's why.

Body image, or the visual representation, the spatial physical representation of your physicality is circumstantial. It's conditional. Your body, the way that it looks is a condition. You could have the most cut arms or you could have the most soft and voluminous arms.

Both of those are conditions that determine whether or not you can share love on the physical level.

So, for this week in particular, we want to elevate your ability to love yourself on the physical level, but we're not going to go from the standpoint of body image, right?

So, let's make that clear. Getting all cute and stuff like that, yes it's pleasurable, but again, it is circumstantial, it's conditional. That would sound like, "Oh, I only love myself if I look good" or "Me looking good and taking care of how I present myself is a sign of self-love on the physical level."

But, what if you're depressed and you don't have the energy for that? What if you don't have the money to buy jewels and makeups, and haircuts, and all sorts of things? How can we love our bodies on a physical level that does not have to do with body image?

So, the guides, first and foremost are bringing forward the concept of contrast. Using your body, the contrast that you experience in your body, as a gateway for increasing yourself love. What does that mean? Contrast means that which you do not want. That which you do not want is what contrast is.

So, let's take a double chin or extra juice around your belly, for example. Extra belly fat. Maybe that's something that you do not want. This is a gateway for loving yourself, because it is contrast coming forward. Contrast is always an invitation to expansion. Contrast, this week in particular, is your training partner.

Now, when I'm talking about contrast in terms of fat on the body or for you, it might be pain in the body, et cetera. Let contrast be your training partner in that contrast is there to draw your attention toward yourself.

Now, we're going to cover this more next week, but let the attention that's drawn toward you change to be curious about how can I be more loving towards this contrast? What does this pain signal me to.

Oh, okay. I need more self-care, right? Change the story around the pain of your body. What does this extra or excess flesh on my body draw me to, what positive aspect, what type of growth, progress, love, and connection do I need that my fat is blanketing me with?

So, with that, it might a positive story on extra weight gain might be, "I need better nourishment", right? So, the fat on my body is showing me, okay, I'm malnourished. I need to better nourish myself.

Now, I heard someone just say in the energy, "Oh, that means I'm over-nourished, I'm eating way too much", okay. So, that's a different form of nourishment, right? It's eating the right things versus eating the stuffy things and the crappy things.

So, embracing contrast in your body and allowing that to be a gateway for self-love. When in doubt, remember why. There are imperfections in your physical body. That Source has sent you here to challenge you. To challenge you to love, despite all the imperfections.

If you saw a baby with a cleft lip, you wouldn't hate that baby or say it's disgusting or ugly, it's a baby. It's precious.

You deserve the same level of acceptance that you would give that baby who had that cleft lip or had a deformity from her birth. You'd automatically honor that baby's divinity and worthiness.

Challenge yourself this week to look at the contrast in your body and simply say, "I love you anyway", right? Look at it fully, head on. And, "I love you anyway", that's your mantra for the week.

The oracle cards of the week, speaking of, Archangel Raphael Healing oracle cards deck. This is our healing angel on the physical level. Angel Raphael, what do we need to know about loving our physical body? Increased energy! Yay!

Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for filling me with the unlimited energy of divine love and light. And, here's where we'll end this week. The more you send love to the parts of you on a physical level that you actually hate, the more you will actually increase your energy. You'll fill your cup and love yourself first.

Go ahead and comment below, send me an email back.

What stands out to you? What part of your body are you going to say "I love you anyway" to? This week in particular.

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so you get these love letters first every week and get ready for it. Muah! See you soon, bye!
