Scared to ask for help?

Struggling to hold it all together on your own?

Feeling like you're headed for burnout?

Feeling resistant to making a change because it's outside your comfort zone?

Strong, independent go-getters like you and I have learned over time to rely on ourselves to get the job done, and done well.

Yet, there comes a time in life where in order to get what we really want, we have to open up and receive help – so where do you start?

Watch this week's 12-minute Love Letter video to find out exactly what you need to do to turn your situation around!

"I don't want to be a burden."

As a holistic stress management expert and spiritual teacher, it's a really interesting line of work.

I get all kinds of reactions and all kinds of stories from people, when they encounter who I am and what I do.

I support visionary entrepreneurs like yourself, and creative people just like you, in creating a life that they love by harnessing their natural intuition, so that they feel more centered and grounded as they get out there and share their gifts.

And from time to time, that means speaking to people who don't quite get it, or encountering people who love, and need, and desire support in that realm.

They need the one-on-one, or the group spiritual support sessions that I provide. They'll need it, but then they'll resist it, and then they'll throw their resistance, they'll "hot potato" that on me. Right?

Here's the thing. This week in particular, the guides are telling you what they've told me for many years, and that's take a risk. Risky requests.

This week in particular, your visionary challenge is to take a risk by making a risky request.

Now what does that look like? That basically looks like inviting someone in to support you, to affirm you, or to join you, or to help you out, etc, making a risky request.

If you are watching this, chances are very, very likely that you are a natural healer, supportive caregiver, someone who's highly sensitive, and wants everybody else to feel happy, healthy, loved, supported, etc.

You care so much that you take strong, deep responsibility for making sure that everyone around you is well taken care of, except for you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe I'm off-base. Maybe this one isn't for you. Maybe you're amazing at making requests, and that's wonderful.

But to the rest of us watching this Love Letter video, or reading through it, or listening to the recording, etc, we could all use a little bit more practice asking for what we desire, asking for what we need, and asking for support.

So this week in particular, the guides are challenging you to make a risky request. All right?

What would that look like for you? What could you never ask for? Oh, like:

• • "I could never ask my husband to massage my shoulders, no way. No, no, no, no,"

• • "I could never ask for a little bit more time off from my boss. No, no, no, no,"

• • "I could never ask that beautiful person out on a date. No, no, no, no,"

• • "I could never ask for my own one-on-one session with Victoria. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not worth it."

• • "I don't want to interrupt her,"

• • "I don't want to interrupt him."

• • "I don't want to be a burden."

• "I don't want to take up space."

What? Ooh, look at all of those excuses, and all of that resistance that just comes flying out of us.

Requests that are effective, that are really meant for you to move to your next level, in life and in business, usually feel a little bit risky. There's a flutter of vulnerability, because you're risking rejection.

What's the worst thing that could happen, though? They could say no. And guess what?

There's another seven billion people on the planet. You've got that many more opportunities to find the person, the organization, the venue, the space, the time, etc, who can fulfill what it is that you need and desire.

So what's your risky request? Is it for more time off? Is it for a sick day? Is it for flowers? Is it for a compliment and an affirmation?

I want to hear it. Type in the comments below or send me an email back at senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com. I want to hear your risky request, but I dare you to share it publicly.

Know this: Quantum leaps in life and business require you to take a risk.

Mine's coming, but first I hear the Oracle cards calling in the energy.

And talk about risk, Angel Answers, by Doreen Virtue. This is the yes/no deck.

So you ready to play a little bit of Russian roulette? Let's go. This deck is similar to the old Magic 8-Ball thing, where you'd shake it and ask a yes/no, binary type question, and it would say Yes, No, Maybe, Ask Again Later. I always got the Ask Again Later, what about you? Oh my gosh.

Angels, what do we need to know right now? Should we ask a risky question this week? Can we ask a risky question this week?

You know there's nos, there's two nos, actually, and two yeses in this deck in particular.

Can we ask a risky question this week? What do we need to know right now? This is so good. You ready? Compromise.

Compromise, and this is so beautiful. Look at, there's the two hands, the higher self and the lower self. Ooh, they just told me to read. I'll give you the channeling that I'm hearing first, though.

The guides say, "When you ask, remember that it's not your way or the highway. It could be what you ask for, or something even better. Let your risky ask be of mutual benefit. Ask in a way that pleasures you as well as the person that you are requesting for." What would that look like?

Also, asking from a space of pleasure and abundance versus asking from a place of, "Arrgh, you're not going to even answer my request anyway, so I'm just doing this homework because Victoria told me to." Don't do that. Compromise.

Also, the guides turned this upside down and said, "Be careful how much you compromise your boundaries in order to meet others' requests. Remember, you have needs and desires too."

Here it is, "In order to create a happy outcome for this situation, you will find it necessary to compromise. Allow yourself some time to become clear about what is truly important to you."

Some of you may be thinking, "Well Victoria, I don't know what to ask for."

Okay, don't jump to it. Take some time to reflect about what you want, or what you would ask for that feels a little bit, "Ooh, I can't ask that."

"Also take note of matters where you would be open to changing your position. Work toward an agreement where everyone wins." Same as the channeling. Beautiful. "Be open to cooperation that would allow you to get what you need while also assisting others in fulfilling their desires." Is this beautiful or what? "Be objective about finding a balance between respecting everyone else's viewpoints and still being true to your own."

So good, and this is where we're going to leave off.

Your risky ask is actually a blessing. So be kind to yourself. And share what that desire is, because it could very well, and it can very easily, bless the other person. By them getting to serve and support you, it gives them an opportunity to show you love.

Here's my risky ask, by the way. If you could, please send me a comment back or an email below. In what way have I touched you? Maybe it was in this video. Maybe it's been over the years. Maybe in a group experience, or maybe in one of your private sessions.

As someone who's out and sharing, sharing, sharing abundantly, and it's my joy to share, sometimes I wonder, "Have I ever touched anyone, or really helped them?"

I can tell you, this is a risky ask because I feel a bit of emotion flutter, like, "I wonder." Right? Even I wonder, I'm not perfect.

So if you want to return a little bit of the love received, please send me an email back or comment below, and let me know what has been my effect on you, whether right now or in the past, et cetera.

And if you're very new to my work, what do you see me doing in the future? I'd love to hear that. Okay?

I don't know if anyone's going to answer that, but I'm trusting and putting it out there, and I'm open to receiving your love, support, and affirmation. I'm sending you so much love, regardless.

Muah, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your Love Letters first every week. All right, we'll see you soon. Bye.

In Love and Light,

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?

Comment below, send me an email back. What's coming up for you around this? Is this arriving just in time? Was I speaking to you? Tell me, senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com is the email to send it to.
