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.

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

Do you suffer from chronic, free-floating anxiety?

Stress and overwhelm draining your joy and ability to focus?

Feeling emotionally "blocked" and wish there was a way to clear yourself?

Carrying excessive emotional energy can be exhausting, and we often carry way more than we're even conscious of; it especially shows up in how you feel during moments that should be quiet and peaceful (but are antsy or worry-filled, instead).

Over the years, I've researched and come across countless mental and spiritual exercises to alleviate stress and anxiety, and Spirit has asked us to share one with you this week.

Watch the above video to learn a fun and easy technique to clear your emotional energy now!

"I just can't turn off. I'm always on! HELP!"

This week’s video covers a technique for emotional clearing.

As you know I love following a lot of Doreen Virtue's work as a new-age spiritual psychologist and intuitive channel.

In particular, Spirit said this week we should teach to the Tribe one of her methods called "The Archangel Michael Vacuuming" technique for clearing emotional energy.

There are thousands of techniques for clearing emotional energy, and they are helpful to those of us who are "always on," suffering from constant stress, anxiety and even insomnia.

Always ready and in “fight or flight” mode? That’s because your adrenal glands are being overstimulated and overused.

Maybe you're feeling anxious and carrying your stress with you recently, or even right now, because there was a recent fight that you had with a loved one, or you received some scathing criticism at work, or someone was just kind of a jerk and rubbed you the wrong way and you just can't get it off of your mind...

And it keeps replaying over and over in your head.

You say to yourself things like: "This is what I would've said to him if things would have went differently." And you continue to argue inside yourself.

So we're still attached to the fight. Hours, days, weeks, months, even years after it's happened we're still carrying the emotional energy.

Though it happened in the past, right now all the emotional energy comes out fresh because we're being triggered by the attachment we agree (in the present) to maintain (to the past offense).

Another way that excessive emotional energy can creep up on us is irrational fear.

For example: are you afraid of a certain room in the house? Like the basement? Have you assigned your dark basement the title of "haunted" or generally creepy? LOL!

Know This: You are in charge of how you feel right now. And you can choose to feel better. #takecharge #stressedout

The truth is, you give the basement it's creepy power over your emotions. Even if it is actually haunted, you don't have to feel afraid of or victimized by that!

If emotional energy is dominating your life, then that means YOU are carrying it around with you – re-upping it, reintegrating it, reactivating things that are done and over with.

And it’s up to YOU, and nobody else, to change that.

You can start by clearing some of it out. And a wonderful technique for doing that is the Archangel Michael Vacuuming meditation.

HOW TO DO IT:

1. Ask Archangel Michael, "Please be vacuum out my negative emotions right now."
2. Visualize him just above you with a huge healing vacuum in his hands.
3. See him sucking up all of the negative and dark emotional energy that is in your body, starting at the top of your head, down to your feet. The more you watch him do this, using your imagination, the better it works.
4. Then ask Archangel Michael, "Please bring your healing white light hose, and fill me in with healing white light. Dense, healing, high vibrational energy."
5. Visualize him with a fire hose filling your entire body in; the light comes out of it like marshmallow, very thick, very dense. Start again from the top of your head, down to your feet.
6. Once it's completed, say "thank you and so it is." And you're done!

The point is to play with your inner child while doing this.

This is not that serious, people!

Don't miss out on the power of this meditation right now because of your ego, growling “Grr! I’m a board-certified lawyer skeptic person and I hate marshmallows and angels are ridiculous! Gimmie my Xanax and forget this froo-froo BS!"

Relax, because the more playful and imaginative you are, the less stress and overwhelm you are capable of carrying, and the less stress you put on your adrenals.

On the other hand, you may be reading this and feel totally cool with angels, fairies, unicorns and rainbows.

If that's you, then High Five!

BUT WATCH IT!

As you're seeing Archangel Michael do a very detailed job, getting every single crevice completely saturated with healing white light until it is completely done, make sure that you're JUST watching, you're not taking the nozzle and doing it for him.

Just observe, let go, let him do his work. You can TRUST him. He happens to be an Archangel you know. They kinda know what they're doing.

Watch this week’s video strategy to be guided through this meditation and feel the healing energy flow!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Can't seem to escape all the negativity?

Finding it harder to stay positive these days?

Negative people, news, places and self-talk got you down?

It's hard to stay bright and positive all the time when most of the world is driven by negative and pessimistic inspiration.

How many times have you been having a great day, feeling happy and connected, only for one news headline or snide comment from some angry person to knock you all out of whack?

Watch the above video to learn about the nature of negativity and how to deal with it with grace and ease!

"No news is good news."

Way back in 2008, after reading The 4-Hour Workweek by the always awesome and crazy efficient Tim Ferriss, I made a commitment to going on a low-information diet: no more news.

No more watching, listening or reading the news except for headlines that I happen to see while passing by a newspaper or what people walk up and tell me directly.

And giving up the news changed my life.

From there, it extended to giving up watching television, mainly because with Youtube and Netflix, who needs TV?

For years I was commercial and newsflash free; now I only watch TV here and there when I know a show I like is airing. But it took years for me to detox from my TV and news addiction.

Now, it's easy enough to just shut off a TV and squelch that firehose of negativity. But, as nice as it would be, we can't quite "shut off" negative people--like negative bosses, colleagues or family members...

And, better yet, what happens when the source of negativity is in our head? Self-sabotage, anyone? 🙂

I know I do it to myself--and I'm certainly not the only one!

So, what can we do? Is negativity just unavoidable?

Yes. But the challenge is to heal and deal with it, not avoid it.

You see, if you're reading this article right now, you're a Lightworker; that means you're here to spread more love and light (enlightenment) on Earth in this lifetime.

And that's exactly why you're a naturally sensitive and positive person. That's also why you're so drawn to personal development and spiritual connection, too, because you intuitively know that as you raise your vibration, you give others permission to do the same.

So, rather than avoiding all negative energy and all the things that "kill your vibe," you have a higher calling to confront, heal and deal with the darkness.

Besides, remember the Law of Yin and Yang? There is always some dark in the light, and some light in the dark.

This Universal Law creates and maintains universal balance and expansion. Without contrast, life becomes unnaturally stagnant and sterile.

That being said, let's explore what is negative energy, and how we can send more love to the idea of it, rather than running in fear and ignorance.

Negativity and negative energy are at their core just energy, and all energy is essentially neutral. The idea of "negativity" or things being "negative" itself is relative and therefore a judgement.

All judgments are mindsets and stories we tell ourselves based on dominant thoughts we choose to think, and all judgments create emotional and energetic attachments to what we are judging. So, in other words, we actually create all the negativity we experience.

Know this: Negativity has no power over you that you didn't give it. #freeyourmind #loveandlight

Did you get that? We aren't saying that you caused that person to get shot or that you caused that tsunami to happen or that you caused the number of unemployed people to skyrocket (example of negative news headlines).

Instead, we are saying what happens is you choose how you feel, and because you are looking (vigilantly) for negativity, you'll find it and feel it.

Here's how this happens: you interpret what you're seeing or hearing (you spot a newspaper headline: dog found abused and abandoned), you create a "negative" judgment (thought: animal abuse is bad), you internalize the "negative" feelings associated with it (thought and feeling: dog abuse turns my stomach and makes me angry), and then you internalize responsibility for it because you know about it (thought and feeling: I know something must be done, but I can't do anything, so I feel helpless). It in turn tangles you up emotionally and spiritually with what you see or hear in that moment even if it has nothing to do with you, and because you feel helpless, the "negative energy" drains you and kills your vibe.

And that is how what was simply just a passing news headline can suddenly have enough power to ruin your day. Or even your week or month, or perhaps even more as you rehash the story over and over.

Here's the key: to deal with negativity, you need to unplug from it emotionally.

We're not saying become a cold-hearted person or shut down. If you're reading this, you're already a sensitive, loving, spiritual and empathic person, and that's your gift. So we're saying you need to be a good steward of your gift, knowing when and how to adjust it to protect your health and wellbeing (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually).

It's about learning to flow with your emotions and the energies that influence them.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows you how to release negative energy and negative mindsets!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
