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.

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.

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

The post Love Letters | Rock Your Retrograde – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Can't seem to trust yourself?

Having a hard time keeping the faith that Source will provide?

Limiting beliefs got you down and steeped in "stinky thinking"?

We want to stay positive and we want to accept the best, but to be honest, that sure takes energy!

So what do you do when you're out of energy to fight off the negative crusty crabs in your mind and life?
Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video to learn how to feed your faith!

"I can't seem to trust myself."

This week, the guidance that I'm hearing from source in particular is for you to Feed Your Faith. Feed your faith this week.

Now, what exactly does that mean?

Did you know what faith really is? Faith is actually a substance.

It's a thing; a thing that can be acquired, he same way that we can acquire clothes, or we can acquire possessions and things. It's important to see faith as a substance. A substance that specifically needs to be fed and replenished.

Okay? I want you to visualize this. I'm not saying that it's this little animal or something that needs to eat and blah blah blah. Of course, this is all for illustration's sake.

The guides want you to perceive faith as something that is substantive, rather than some abstract concept.

This week in particular, your challenged to see your faith as a substance. Specifically, one that you can acquire. Acquire more of it, and you'll be able to do more with it. The same as currency.

Specifically the guides are saying the same way that if you acquire more money you're able to do more; it doesn't make you better or worse than anybody, it just gives you more agency because it's a currency.

Current, energy current, with more energy comes more ability. The same is with faith.

Now, if you don't monitor your money and if you don't work on your money, you can't really expect to acquire more of it or the ability to do more with your money. The same goes with your faith.

See your faith as a substance. It is the substance or the currency that you exchange in order to ground your hopes, your visualizations, and your dreams.

Know this: Faith is a substance, or currency; the more you acquire, the more you agency you have. Feed it. @SenseiWhitfield

In the sacred texts it said that faith is the substance of things that are hoped for. It is the physicality and the thing that we acquire, the currency, with which we ground our visions and manifest them into reality.

Source is saying "feed your faith," this week because: have you been? Feeding your faith?

This is a real question behind this message.

What do you do regularly to reinforce, fortify, and encourage being in a positive state of expectation. Not where we're expecting things from people to live up to our ideals and our dreams and things like that. 

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• • When you have a goal, do you positive expect that you're capable of realizing it and seeing it come to fruition?

• • When you have desire, do you positively expect that the universe will rearrange herself in a way to deliver that desire to you?

• When you have a want, do you positively expect that when you communicate or that you even have the permission to communicate in the first place that want, that you will when you communicate it, will you receive it?

There's an aspect of positive expectation and faith. It's confidence, right? It is the substance, the currency, with which we receive that which we are envisioning and desiring, conjuring in the energy.

I'm hearing the Oracle cards calling in the energy.

This week in particular, talk to us about how can we feed our faith? It's the Healing With The Fairies Oracle cards deck, another Doreen Virtue deck. Fairies, angels, what do we need to know right now? How can we feed our faith this week?

Feeling Safe.

Here's where we'll leave off.

I'm hearing my guide say that the feeling safe card came forward, to say that you who is watching right now, there are a lot of things going on that make you feel completely unsafe, doubtful. That reinforce a sense of fear or need for protection, and second guessing and unsure.

I don't know who I'm speaking to, I don't know who's watching right now.

My guides are saying the feeling safe card in particular has come forward to say your need to feel safe and the deficit of feeling safety is draining your faith.

That hit the pit of my stomach like a rock, so I feel you. My heart is opening, and I'm feeling very soft. I'm a little bit watery in the eyes right now as I share this with you, because there's such a thing as protection obsession. That may have to be another video, but when you're so concerned and worried.

When we're a worry wart or constantly preparing preparing or protecting and trust no one is our mindset, play it safe or don't reach out to far. That doesn't really reinforce having a faith-filled energy.

That drains your faith bank account. That sucks up the substance of the faith in your energy, and drains it out into protection obsession mode. Especially if you're highly sensitive, tend to be prone to protection obsession.

Next week, I'm going to tell you a whole lot more about this, but just for this week in particular what can you do to feed your faith?

• • What activities, people, foods, books, words?

• • What things can you do?

• • What people can you experience and expose yourself to that brings more faith into your energy?

• • What puts substance back in?

• • Who puts that sense of feeling safe into you?

• Who do you expose yourself to that makes you feel joyful, positive, optimistic, never giving up, right?

It's important that on a daily basis you do something to acquire more of the substance of faith.

To acquire more of the currency, that currency. Think of it as a thing that you have to get and receive. Even like food, eating food. How have you fed your faith today?
