Feeling overwhelmed lately?

Or are you surrounded by people who are feeling stressed?

Finding it hard to understand exactly why you and the people you love can't seem to shake this feeling?

As empathic entrepreneurs, our bodies and minds are mirrors of our communal energy.

And, being empathic in community is a very different experience than being empathetic. Interestingly enough, it all comes down to consent.

Watch this week's 10-minute love letter video, to better understand and discern the difference between being empathic versus empathetic in yourself and others!

Know this: Regular energywork and meditation are not a luxury for true Empaths - it is an absolute MUST to protect their health and safety.

Feeling isolated by your business or position at work? 

Do your coworkers drain you with negativity and drama?

Wondering why you are secretly lonely, even though you work with a good team and serve or interact with tens or even hundreds of happy clients and customers each week?

Entrepreneurs and business owners are a special, rare breed of professional -- we are naturally wired to be creative and driven leaders.

And sometimes, it gets lonely being at the leading-edge of the business; pulling the business forward can be both exciting and exhausting if you're the only visionary on board.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the first of a new 4-week series on the Power of Positive Community, to start shifting your workplace from negative to positive!

"I feel lonely since starting my own business."

This week is the first of a four, brand new four-week deep-dive on the power of positive community.

I really love taking time to cover these concepts with you in depth, so rather than just doing one video at a time, right? We're going to give you concepts, bite-sized, all right, to meditate on one week at a time, so that by the end of our four-week journey together, you will feel much more grounded in enjoying, receiving and experiencing the power of positive community.

If you've seen our series of videos before, ye hey, thank you for your support. Thank you. Thank you. Make sure you're subscribed on YouTube though. If you haven't yet, let's get to it.

As usual, our first of the four weeks, right? First of the four weeks is going to cover why. Why on earth this month in particular are the guides calling for us to consider the power of positive community?

Now, I specialize in helping entrepreneurs heal. What happens in our journey of entrepreneurship is that it is a powerful journey of self-actualization, personal development, right, self-worth, yes? Has this happened to you? Send me an e-mail back or comment below.

If your journey owning your own business and working for yourself has really been about personal development, not just making money, all right? So with that, what happens over time is that we can get to be a little bit isolated. Let's take you to a bit of the dark side of entrepreneurship and business ownership.

Not everybody is a business owner, so owning your own business, creating your own schedule, creating your life by design ... Creating your life by design, that can, one, take a lot of energy and a lot of pressure.

Lastly, it can be isolating. You know, entrepreneurs, self-employed, owners are some of the loneliest people on the planet even though we end up seeing and interacting with the most people who, like me, may have hundreds of contacts or thousands of connections and things like that, that you're influencing on a monthly, weekly, maybe even daily basis - or even thousands and millions.

Know this: #Entrepreneurs and #business owners are some of the loneliest people on the planet, though they may serve thousands. Make time for #positive community!

At the same time, for ourselves, we are a unique breed of entrepreneurs and business owners. You can't really go out and talk about the types of issues, emotionally and spiritually, that come up to just anybody when we're talking about owner-level issues, right? Talking about cashflow, how that's affecting your self-image and waking up, as one of my mentors say, with 3:00 a.m. sweats. Right? That's her phrase.

Those types of concepts, not everyone understands. Uniquely has business owners and entrepreneurs do, and we can get so focused in our journey to serving others in our highest purpose that we forget to connect with other loves who are similar to us, right? Black sheep tends to hang out by himself and surrounded by white sheep, but you're not the only black sheep out there. This month in particular, starting this week in particular, the guides want you to invoke, remember and stand in the power of positive community.

Now, let's be even more specific. We want positive community, not negative community. The broader social norm is to relate according to problems, right, and negativity or things that make us angry and frustrated, right? We connect around or struggling, and oh, you struggle about the same thing or will even get attracted to people who, oh, you feel that life is so hard for you. Let's make a baby and be together for a whole bunch of decades, right? Be kind to yourself, and let's see what's this situation right now. I understand. Been there, done that, got the scar.

With that, when you are a spiritually-awakened entrepreneur, it becomes even more important to surround yourself with similar sparkly black sheep just like you so that you can feel safe and empowered on your path to creating your life by design.

The love association states that you become the sum total, the median of the five people that you listen to and hang out the most with. If you have five kids, yes, you're going to be saying the same words and thinking about the similar things and listening to similar music and watching the same movies, reading the same books. It's just what's going to happen, right?

In business, you have the same median income of the five people that you are listening to and interacting with the most professionally. Did you catch that?

Here's the thing. If you're hanging around people, to all my business owners, who don't have clients and who are struggling and are talking about the struggle or frustrated, right? All these low-vibrational mindset, it's going to affect your income but also your health. It's not just ... I mean when you're talking to a business owner, if you talk about money, they're going to listen, yes, and we have to understand, life is holistic.

Money's just a symptom of a greater issue, and this month in particular, if you've been having cashflow problems or relationship flow problems or even health flow problems, we're going to look at how's your community doing? How are you surrounding yourself with positive uplifting energy?

I'm hearing the oracle cards sparkling in the energy around that. Let me come in a little bit closer for the reading, tah-dah, the fairies, Healing With The Fairies. One of God-knows-how-many oracle decks that we have here at the dojo. Oh my goddess, but we're going to be journeying with the fairies all month. Fairies, guides and guardians, what do we need to know right now about the power of positive community?

Oh, quiet time, and this is where we're going to leave off this week in particular. How you feel is what matters most. What matters most is how you feel, and you can tell by how you feel when you are in your quiet time. How much quiet time you get and how quality your quiet time is. This week in particular, I want you to look at who? Who are you spending your time with during quiet time? Is it just by yourself?

Are there any groups, books, programs, right, podcasts and things that you consume when it's time for you to receive? Quiet time is receptive time. This month, we're going to learn how to receive on an exponential level, opening up to positive community.

Go ahead. Type in the comments below or send me an e-mail back. What's coming up for you, hearing all of these?

Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every single week, all right? We'll see you next time for week two of four. Ready for it? Mwah. See you then.

The post Love Letters | The Power of Positive Community – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you work hard and play hard?

And when you do, do you tend to overdo both?

Feeling annoyed that you work hard all the time and find yourself having less and less fun in life?

It seems that the minute we become adults that play loses its status as top-priority in day-to-day life.

We are told that play is silly, irresponsible and a waste of time, and somehow we believe it.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the second in our 4-week series on your daily PRP’s, to shift your mindset to be play-positive and bring back the joy and fun in your life!

"I've lost my sense of adventure."

This is week two of four of our deep dive into PRPs, your daily PRPs.

Last week we defined exactly what is a PRP and why do you need it. We always start with why. If you have no idea what happened, stop now and go back. Go back and watch the previous video.

You can find it on YouTube or on my blog. The link should be somewhere, wherever you clicked. With that being said, this week let's talk about the first of that acronym, PRP.

So the first word in that is play. What the guides want you to know this week is that you've got to shift your mindset around play. It's time for you to shift your mindset around play. Often we are taught to work hard, play hard, work hard, play hard, work hard, play hard. Right?

That's even a chant sometimes, or even in a Nike video, or something like that, some other marketing, work hard, play hard. It's seen as strong and outgoing and fitnessy to work hard and play hard.

What does that end up looking like in our lives? So we're working, playing, working, playing, working, playing.

Where we're going, going, going in one direction, and then going, going, going in another. So that, in both directions, whether we're working or we're playing, we're going hard and we're over doing it.

That is not natural, first and foremost, you gotta hear this. And also that is not compassionate. Lastly, it's not sustainable.

So, it's time for you to shift your mindset around how you play, instead of working hard and playing hard, this week in particular, and forever more going forward, let's commit to working smart and playing smart. You may have heard before, "Don't work hard, work smart." But, have you also heard, "Don't play hard, play smart," right?

The two go together. In nature you never see a plant or an animal or any type of weather pattern, et cetera producing everything it could possibly do, and then dive. Right? Or completely crashing and burning. There is balance.

‪Know this: ‪‪“Work hard, play hard” is not natural, compassionate or sustainable. Shift your #mindset to work smart AND play smart, every day.

Think of ocean waves, there is a constant ebb and flow, and because of that there is perpetual motion of the waves washing on the shore. There are seasons, cycles of energy, cycles of temperature, and weather, et cetera that allows for life to perpetuate. There are life cycles where it's a constant.

Your breath is going in and going out, if you only exhaled, what happens? That's what happens. Right?

That is not natural. And that is not compassionate, and that is not sustainable. So we want you to shift your mindset around how you play. So, working smart, you're a smart cookie, I'm sure you're already working smarter.

Right? You've got life hacks going, you may have hired people or are in the process of looking for people to help you out with texts.

You've got your kids, they cook and they wash clothes. You're working smart, great. Let's turn it up another notch and get you playing smart. So what would that look like? This is a two way conversation, I'm not just teaching at you. Right? This is for your inspiration. Some examples, and I want you to post below, how do you play smart?

For this week in particular, I would highly recommend that you intersperse play throughout your day. How can you make your morning and evening commute more playful? How can you add more playful elements to your work space, or even to your meetings?

How can you add more playful elements to your home life and your personal spaces, or your interactions with your friends? How can you bring play in?

For some people that's enjoying toys. Just bringing in something silly, like a slinky and leaving it on your desk at work for people to play with while their talking to you. Right? Or it could be a funny game that you play with your family. It could be enjoying exercise and movement in the middle of the day. Have recess when you go for lunch. Right? Or, listening to comedy as you drive to and from work.

Here's the thing. Remember what we said the first week, reason why we're doing this is so that you have stamina for the marathon of life, stamina for the marathon of pursuing and living your passion and purpose. So, the more play that you integrate throughout the day, the lower your crankiness and resentfulness about going and doing your day to day work will be, because you're having fun.

That's your challenge for this week. How can you integrate more play? I don't care how old you are or how crusty, crunchy, crotchety, crumply, you are, all the crunchy sounds. I don't care, figure it out. You deserve to play and enjoy every day, rather than once in a blue moon, have some fun.

Know every single day there can be play. How can you integrate more playfulness into your wardrobe, into your marketing materials? To all my entrepreneurs. How can you integrate more playfulness into your day to day life as an essential vitamin, an essential mineral in your daily diet?

The oracle cards for the week? The romance angels oracle cards deck. Angels, what do we need to know right now about playing? Positive playfulness. Playing smart.

Oh la la. Oh la la. Passion. Something's throbbing, oh my. Allow your heart and soul to sing with joy. Passion, this is where we're going to leave off for the week.

If your relationship with yourself, yourself first, has lost the fire and the flame and the sparkle, the sense of fun and adventure that you used to have, that creative inspiration or sparkle, if you lost your passion or your mojo, or your juice, however you say it, if you've lost your passion, here's how you start. Here's how you start. Allow your heart and soul to sing with joy. Allow yourself to insert more joy into your day to day.

How are you going to do it? Comment below. Send me an email back. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, every week. I'm so excited to see how you play. All right we'll see you next week. Bye.

Feeling alone on your healing journey?

Tired of feeling like you're the only one fighting the good fight lately?

Frustrated that you can't seem to do it all on your own anymore?

Welcome to being human!

It takes stamina to go the distance in realizing your goals and purpose, and the time has come for you to Find Your Tribe.

Watch this week's 7-minute video to learn the power of your Tribe and how to find them!

"How do I find my tribe?"

This week, Source is saying for you to find your tribe.

This is the week you've got to commit to finding your tribe and really interacting with them regularly.

The reason why is actually quite interesting.

I receive visions often when I'm channeling and when I'm asking for guidance, and when I asked "Well, why do you want everyone to find their tribe this week?"

The image that I got in the energy was a flock of geese in V formation.

What in the world? Oh my gosh! What a vision.

I love shamanic work.

I love learning more about what animals mean and I understand from shamanic studies that goose has meaning of tradition, community, creativity, and the sense of strength in numbers.

However, Source said, "No, read a little bit further." So I'm going to share an excerpt with you explaining specifically the power of geese being in a V formation:

"As a bird flaps, a rotating vortex of air rolls off each of its wingtips. These vortices mean that the air immediately behind the bird gets constantly pushed downwards, and the air behind it and off to the sides gets pushed upwards. If another bird flies in either of the upwash zones, it gets free lift. It can save energy by using the air flow created by its flock-mate."

Here's where the channeling comes in for you.

You need to find your tribe because apparently, your Spirit has a vision for you in this lifetime.

A big vision of somewhere that you have got to go in this lifetime.

It's whatever your passion, your purpose, your vision is.

And in order for you to go the distance, it's important that you have your tribe flying with you -- that you have flock-mates, providing that lift.

Know this: Finding your Tribe of #support gives you spiritual stamina to realize your purpose. #team http://bit.ly/1psUg2n @SenseiWhitfield

The "upwash" metaphorically is them going in the same direction as you and is that added benefit of being around people who are casting off an "upwind" or inspirational momentum from their own work.

Every bird that's behind each one of them, every goose that's behind each successive goose in the V formation, is working easier and easier because they are flying together.

The one in front is just a few geese ahead and tearing through more wind resistance and because of that, and all the geese that come behind her are able to go in that same direction with increasing ease.

Now, there's never one right behind each goose. They're all on their own path flying together.

This is such a powerful, powerful multi-layered spiritual image that Source is sending to you.

Apparently, this week particular: you need to find your tribe so that you can go the distance in realizing your purpose.

How do you find your tribe?

You look for other geese -- other people like you -- who are heading in the direction of your dream.

They may have a similar dream. Their "genetics of belief" resemble yours, if I may say it that way.

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

Furthermore, the purpose of finding your tribe is so that you can go the distance because of all of their combined VORTEXES lift you up and make your journey to realizing your purpose is that much easier.

The Oracle card deck that's coming in the energy is "Healing With The Angels" by Doreen Virtue. Her very first deck.

So while I'm shuffling, I'm asking, "Guides, why? Why do we need to find our tribe -- or even how?"

 

 

Your #oracle card for the week is "Nature" and the #message is to make time to spend outdoors or bring more #natural plants, sounds and energy indoors. Full reading on #youtube at https://youtu.be/0Ib4ckchN1Y ???????????? #health #business #angel #inspiration #balance #decor #spring #green

Nature. 

Wow. This is where we're going to leave off this week.

The guides are saying you're going to recognize your tribe by others who are more natural.

You'll feel natural being around them.

You'll feel natural talking to them about your passions, your vision, your creativity and they will have a similar nature to you. Look to their nature.

Don't so much listen to the words that they're saying. It's about listening emphatically.

I know you're capable of doing it.

Send me an email back, comment below, tell me what's coming up for you.

Are you looking for your tribe?

Could it be The Dojo Tribe here?

I'm so happy and grateful that we have a tribe here; that our combined vortexes of experience are lifting everyone up so that we can go the distance in realizing our communal dreams.

I am sending you so much love and positive energy. I'll see you next week.

Subscribe on YouTube so you could catch your love letter every Sunday in your email box. See you then.

See you next time. Bye!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Do you feel exhausted after talking to certain people and don't know why?

Annoyed how certain activities suck up way more of your time, yet leave you feeling like nothing much has actually gotten done?

Frustrated that no matter how much you give at work or at your organization, the more they ask of you?

There's a term for things that drain your energy -- spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. -- and it's called an Energy Vampire.

As hard-working, sensitive, loving and giving people, we tend to attract them -- Yikes!

Watch the above video to learn what an Energy Vampire is, and what to do about it.

"Blah, blah! I 'vant to suck your blood!"

This week’s topic is Energy Vampires.

Now, the vampires we're referring to you are not like the movies  where someone comes up to you, bites you on the neck and says, “ha! I got your energy!” drinking it out of you in the literal sense. No, this is very different.

Not everybody knows what an energy vampire is, but this Love Letter is for those who don't know what to do and don't know what an energy vampire is, and as well as for those of us who know all too well what they are, but don't know what to do about it. So let's get to it!

An energy vampire is someone or some thing – like an activity, or a space, an item – that for whatever reason when you are in its presence for an certain period of time, the more you're around them, the more drain you feel emotionally and physically.

What does that mean? The person, place, or thing could be really positive. It could be in Florida, a sunny day at the beach, and everything is supposed to be amazing, right?

You could be at a party spending all this time with these great people who are supposed to be really nice and they're your friends and family, or they're supposed to be your significant other or your children, or your pet, or even your business.

But it still drains you.

Here's how to tell if you're being drained:

If you are in this person, place, or thing's presence for let's say one hour

1) Do you feel more energized, do you feel excited, happy, wired, inspired, lifted up and encouraged?

2) Or after an hour in their presence, do you feel on guard, small, or hiding, or are you saying to yourself “ah, I'm getting tired.”?

The exhaustion starts setting in physically as well as emotionally. You say to yourself “I feel like I'm just talking to a brick wall here. We're getting nowhere, and the more energy I exert, it's like it's not enough.”

The more you give, the more, it takes, or the more hats you have to wear in order to be good enough or acceptable.

The person will tell you more of their life story – and you have to hear it in order for them to "make you understand" how they feel – and they keep talking about how “this happened to me, this and then this happened too...”

They feel great because they got to dump, dump, dump on you.

They’ll often start by saying something like “I just want to share.” or “Let me just get this off my chest” and onto yours, or “Just one more thing” over and over... Sound familiar?

Know This: My time and My space are a "No Dumping Zone." #affirmation #selfcare

Someone in the energy just told me to mention that in psychology, there is a phenomena called the “Doorknob Effect.” An example of this comes up often socially.

Imagine it's the end of your time together with someone – maybe you're doing a session with somebody or maybe someone came over for tea and just to talk and hang out – and you say: "Oh, well, time to go. I got to get going" so you can wrap things up.

You both walk over to the door, and then they touch the doorknob, stop and say, "Oh! One more thing I just thought of..."

It's like the doorknob can activate that “one more thing” for them. Whereas you on the other end are may be thinking, "Oh my god, I gotta go. I want to pee." Yeah... Energy vampires.

Not only on that level, but maybe we're in a relationship with one of them. Sometimes they not only suck our emotional energy and our physical energy, but also our financial energy.

They keep asking you for more, more, more. "Oh, I can't play this bill. Can you cover it?" Or, "Oh, I missed this." Or, "I really want that." It's just an escalation.

Here's the thing: We always want to give abundantly when we feel safe to, but it's important to tune in to how YOU feel when you're giving.

It helps to ask yourself, first: “okay, do I feel like I'm getting so much more spiritually and emotionally? Do I feel supported and sparkling when I give in a big way?” or “Do I feel like, all right, I'm pushing, we're working hard.” or “Maybe one day this person is going to become my vision of what they are” rather than accepting who they currently are at face value.

Ok, that's all well and good Victoria, but why do energy vampires exist? Where does all this come from?

Here's why: If any person, place, or thing is draining your energy – like where they just keep going, going, going as if the story that they're telling doesn't stop, or if they're sharing, they just don't stop talking and share the conversation time with you – it's because they, the person, place, or thing, is supremely ungrounded.

Now, what exactly is “being grounded,” and how does that apply to energy vampires?

You’ll have to watch the rest of this week’s video strategy to find out!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
