Frustrated that things have come to a standstill professionally?

Unsure if your business or even your life is really going somewhere or making an impact?

Worried that you have plateaued, and that you can't grow any more than you already have?

It's natural to feel resistance on the path to personal and spiritual expansion — you're only human!

More often than not, it is because we have forgotten why we started in the first place. That's why we have to find best video production in Miami FL.

Watch this week's 13-minute love letter video to revisit your why, and discover the hidden power that you forgot you had!

"I don't remember why I started this in the first place."

This week in particular, The Guides are asking you to revisit your big why. Your big why.

So, if you haven't seen the TedX talk by Simon Sinek, called Start With Why, I highly recommend that after this Love Letter video you go check him out. He's a fantastic resource on inspirational leadership.

He's someone that I admire very much and get a lot of energy from his wonderful, wonderful teachings and philosophies but basically, the gist of his talk is that how we motivate ourselves and people in life is by sharing and be attuned to why we do what we do. Not what, not how but why?

Now, your big why might be the why behind why you had kids or the why behind why you got married or the why behind you being in business or the why behind your in this company. The why you believe what you believe.

But, your big why is an energetic resource. It's an energetic resource in your life. We got to remember what it is in order to derive energy from it.

Admittedly, I don't have the perfect memory, right? But, you remember your phone number. You remember your address hopefully. But, if you don't remember why you're doing what you're doing right now in the first place, your center, where you ground, your alignment, your essential energy in your alignment is off. It's a bit crunched.

Know this: You remember your phone number & address, but do you remember WHY you're doing what you're doing?

That natural flow of juice, that creative inspirational juice that you get from being connected to your big why is pinched off from your lack of knowledge.

Maybe it's forgetting why you're doing what you're doing or you may not have even stated what your big why is in the first place. Maybe you genuinely don't know. It's not that you even forgot.

The title that The Guides asked for this Love Letter is revisit your why but I'm getting a vibe from who's watching right now, I don't know if this is you but you don't even know what your ... Why you're doing what you're doing. Why you're studying this in college or why you started your business other than, "I need money!" Right? Or, you don't even know why you really married the person. It's just like, "They asked and I was there and the priest and here we are 25 years later."

Going through the motions.

In a previous Love Letter we were talking about being intentional, which is really important. To set the stage that you're not just going through the motions in life but at this point in time, The Guides want you to revisit your why that can support you in being more intentional now.

It gives you a lot more energy and sauce, right? The juice. The juice, the fuel behind your decisions, behind how you speak and show up in life, behind your actions.

Want me to share with you my big why? Why I do what I do.

Here through the Dojo is because I believe that within every visionary leader is a creative being called the inner child who's the source of an unlimited amount of energy that one unleashed, can heal not only that person, herself/himself, but also all those who they come in contact with because they are a natural born leader.

Natural born leaders, I believe, are highly sensitive individuals. They're sensitized to things that other people just kind of don't pick up on. It's not that they're superior, they're just sensitive.

With that, I believe, that you as a visionary leader have got to heal your relationship with your inner child so that you can show up with that amount of energy, fully supported, abundant, and at ease as you get out there and serve the world in a bigger way.

What's behind all of what I do? Why I do what I do? The color, right? The shimmies, the rainbows and butterflies and jokes and silly pants ness. It's because I believe in making your inner child feel as safe as possible so that she can emerge from the traumatic shell that she went into because of whatever happened, she can emerge and unleash all of that inner power, that creative resource.

That flow, infinite flow of energy that you have inside of you. That is why I do what I do.

Simon very beautifully says that our big why often comes from our own pain and so, absolutely a big why comes from big pain. There's a thing that I witnessed in my childhood that caused me to forget from age eight back.

My life. It's like a dark cloud and so, since then, I've had to really explore what is identity? What is energy because I've always been naturally sensitive to people's emotions or a spiritual energy, food, sound.

I've always had this sensitized relationship to it. Why? Because my inner child is on super protective mode.

She doesn't want that scary thing to happen again so she's going to super sensitize me to all things around.

But, that has catapulted me to doing a deep dive, basically committing that for the rest of my life. I know I'm committed now, as much as I am since I first started, looking into what is energy? What is identity? What is psychology?

Learning more about philosophy and spiritual reality and how that effects each present moment so that I can show up as the best self that I can. The more I dove into healing my inner child, the more energy I had to show up in the world.

I don't know who I'll be in five, 10, 20 years from now but this was built intentionally over time. I didn't come out of the womb shimming.

The story goes when I came out of the womb I was over eight pounds. I was a big pink ball and they actually almost killed me that day to save my mother. That's another story but anyway.

Revisit your big why. Your big why often comes from a traumatic experience.

It doesn't mean that someone tried to kill you or you forgot your childhood or you got sexually assaulted or something like that. Your trauma might be the loss of face or humiliation in school or your family became wealthy but lost it all.

It could have been something that you saw, it didn't even happen to you but it was such an intense thing that you witnessed that it effected you irrevocably for the rest of your life.

Be kind to yourself because the inner child, she sits on this unlimited power called your vulnerability and creativity. Once that's unleashed, you have every resource at your fingertips but that's big magic.

Spooky scary if you're not used to being vulnerable. I'm starting to hear the oracle cards calling the energy around that but revisit your why.

Why did you start your business in the first place? From one business owner to another, why? What are you doing? Why are you doing what you're doing right now?

Why'd you buy your house in that area for the first place? Why did you buy that outfit? Why did you marry this person? Why did you pick this person to date? Why did you go to this school? Revisit your why.

Oracle cards deck is the indigo angel oracle cards. This is specifically designed for empathic, highly sensitive individuals who, because of their sensitivity, are being primed for leadership.

I don't think that's how Doreen Virtue puts it but, this is how The Guides tell me about being indigo and that's her term for being highly sensitive, is indigo, as a vibrational color, your chakra system.

Angels, what do we need to know right now about revisiting our why? Look through the situation.

Look through the situation. Now, I appreciate this. How she's gathering flowers. She's hard at work, got her bag on her back with the flowers that she's gathering. She's focused.

My Guides are saying, "In order for you to revisit your why, you've got to take your head up out of the details and look past what you're doing right now."

Your why is not going to be in the doing ness. It's not going to be in the actions. It's a feeling and it's a big vision task so, you've got to step back this week in particular so that you can revisit your why. Recapture that energy and unleash your inner child so that you can get out there and serve and heal in a big way.

I believe in you and I'm here to support you. That's why I do what I do. That's why I specialize in it. I want to hear your why. Comment below or send me an email, SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com.

I want to hear, what's your big why? What did you forget? Did you forget it? Was this for you?

The post Love Letters | Revisit Your Why appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Are you known as "the giver" and backbone of your family or team?

Love sharing your art and work so much that you give it away for free more often than not?

Though you love the feeling of giving, are you secretly worried that you're being drained by what you love?

Giving always feels good to the giver because we feel abundant and connected to others when we do.

But what happens when no one gives to us or tries to connect with us, too -- what happens when we are surrounded by people who just smile, take and keep on taking?

Watch this week's 8-minute Love Letter to find out why you're surrounded by "sucklers" and what to do about it!

"When is someone going to fight for me?"

This week, I keep hearing this wonderful phrase that Lisa Marie Rosati from the Goddess Lifestyle Plan and Sugar Free Goddess coming through for you:

"No more sucklers!"

The guides really want to talk to you about this. 

Giving credit for the phrase where credit is due, I am happy to share this idea of "sucklers" with everyone, because I admire Lisa's work so much.

Women creative entrepreneurs are who I work with, and this comes up a lot.

We end up really giving away a lot of our energy because we are abundant, creative, flowing creatures.

That's who we are, whether or not you are a woman. It's for those of us who are highly creative people.

We care, and we love to create. We love to feel abundant and that sense of giving really gives to us.

It also gives us the sense of responsibility and being needed and connected, giving to others as a form of expressing our love and sharing that abundance.

And I love countering that with the unsettling image of "sucklers" sucking on us.

That's the uncomfortable truth that we live with every day.

This is different from energy vampires, too. Sucklers come upon us in a more sneaky way.

Sucklers are a bit more insidious, because it's those in our community and in our tribe who we want to uplift and see it further who, rather than taking our encouragement and running with it to go on their own journey, they are like, "Oh great," and they keep suckling on our energy.

Also, there is an ageist aspect to that phrase: you're overstaying your welcome, sucklers, because it's your time to get out there.

Source really wants you to know that there may be some people in your life right now, who rather than taking their own initiative are hanging on to you and weighing you down.

I don't know who I'm talking to or who I'm talking about in particular, but let's just explore this.

Rather than taking their own initiative and stepping up to the plate, they've learned from YOUR pattern of behavior reinforcing them staying in a receiving state from you.

Don't misunderstand the message here: Source is saying this AND honoring the fact that you are giving a lot.

You're an amazing nurturing being.

However, the question that you must ask yourself when you are feeling drained is, "what is the pattern IN ME that's creating this situation?"

Know this: YOU train people to be energy #vampires by having no self #respect or #selfcare. #loveyourself @SenseiWhitfield

Ouch...

Why would we be asking this question in the first place?

If you feel that a lot of people are taking, taking, taking from you, but you don't feel like anyone gives to you.

Now, we don't mean this in a selfish way, like we're keeping score, murmuring "Grr, when am I going to get mine?"

No, that's not what we're saying.

Instead, just consider: are you the only giver in town?

Or better yet, could giving and being The Giver or The Nurturer be a way that you control every one around you?

If that is so, it's counterproductive for you to be mad at people for continuing the paradigm that you've set up of control through receiving from you.

Also, this is for those of us that are secretly feeling, "Ugh! I advocate for everyone, lift up everyone so much. When is someone going to fight for me? When is someone going to advocate for me?"

That might be coming up because we're exhibiting a behavioral pattern that reinforces having sucklers around.

People are not taking initiative, because we're not giving them the space to take it.

Here are the oracle cards now. This is a bit of a tough love week. This topic kind of sucks. LOL!

It's important on the path of natural intuitive development to see how our energy drains, though.

That's one of the many forms of assessment that we do here at the dojo.

The Indigo Angel Oracle Cards deck, by Doreen Virtue is the deck of the week. 

So let's see what's coming up around this energy drain issue for those people who it started off beautifully, and really meant well to be nurturing and giving, but are now starting to feel drained and resentful.

Suddenly, we've become "mama" to grown men, grown women, and not in a good way, in a draining way.

Wow, look at the image, how the breasts of the angel are exposed to show giving, nurturing, mother energy!

 

 

This week's #oracle card is "You Are Special" -- the #Angels want you to know this week that you are worthy of #love, #support and recognition. Your #joy and #health are just as important as others'; especially if you go out of your way to make everyone else feel special, this week you need to remember that you are special, too.

You are special.

The reason why the angels are sending this card forward is this is showing what's the problematic pattern and behavior that you're exhibiting. 

You don't see yourself as special. Everyone else is special in your eyes.

That's so loving. That's beautiful. Humble.

However, it ends up leaving your needs, your boundaries, your standards, your values in the dust, because we place others above ourselves, because we assign everyone on the outside responsibility for making us feel happy.

What does that mean?

That means we're not happy and comfortable unless our entire environment is happy and comfortable. Right?

But making everyone happy doesn't make you special.

It just makes you really busy.

To change the pattern of behavior, for this week in particular, is to say to yourself, "How can I see myself as just as special as everyone else that I am pouring love into this week?"

Are you special?

What's a list of things that make you special?

Comment below, send me an email back. Tell me. I want to hear it.

I'm excited to see you celebrate yourself and begin to shift that pattern of behavior!

Allow any images, ideas, memories and guidance to come up for you in response to that question, and don't judge what you hear.
