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.

Just for today...

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!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

Is your email inbox overwhelming you?

Does the energy of your social media newsfeed bring you down?

Are negative news and stressful business reports literally making you sick to your stomach?

Be kind to yourself: you're an empath and you need better boundaries to protect your energy.

Not all entrepreneurs are created equal; some of us need to unplug in order to be productive.

Watch this week's 8-minute Love Letter video, the second in our 4-week exploration of the Power of Positive Community, to embrace the healing power of unplugging and unsubscribing!

"I don't know where all of this negativity is coming from."

This is week two of four in our new deep dive on the power of positive community. This week in particular the guides want you to know it's time for you to unsubscribe from negativity.

It's time for you to unsubscribe from negativity.

Info diet, in the words of Tim Ferriss, writer of The 4-Hour Workweek and how he simplified his life by streamlining things brilliantly. My guides this week in particular are asking that you have the courage to hit the unsubscribe button, or the unfollow button. Instead of hitting buttons, in your interpersonal life, remove yourself from negative sources of information and experience.

It's really, really important for you to feel vigilant around your intake. If you're watching this video, chances are that you are an empath, which means you pick up ambient emotional data by default. No one has to clue you in on to what is the emotional status of the room or what's the temperature of the crowd or what's going on from other people. You don't even have to ask. You can feel it.

And in fact, the dark side of being an empath is you absorb. You absorb energy. Sometimes even in your body. If someone else has a stomach ache, then you have a stomach ache, too because it just leaps right into you.

Know this: ‪Being an #empath in #business makes you a great communicator. However, if you lack #healthy boundaries and self-care, your empathic sense can drain your energy or even harm you. Be kind to yourself.

With love, that's a sign that you have a lack of healthy boundaries and self-care. I call that spiritual hygiene. Be kind to yourself if that's the situation for you. In psychology, they call that codependent.

When we're codependent, we have a hard time saying no because we depend on the things that we latch onto for our identity. If that's the case, we're subscribing and subscribing, and maybe as an entrepreneur or business owner you've been networking and to be nice, you allow people to just add you on to their email lists or so-and-so in your family keeps posting on Facebook all of this heavy, heavy, heavy reports and angry stuff. And because this is so-and-so in your family, you haven't unfollowed them.

This week in particular it's time to take a stand for your energetic health, your mental health and well being by unsubscribing and unplugging from sources of negativity.

But first and foremost, you've got to be vigilant on what your intake is. Before you even get to the point of unsubscribing, some of you may already think, "Oh yeah, spring cleaning. Read it. Thank you for permission." And to those of you who are ready, mwah. But to those of you who are like, "I don't know where all of the negativity is coming from," maybe this week in particular, you're just becoming vigilant and aware, becoming mindful of, "Huh whenever I talk to this person or hang out with this group, I feel drained afterward. Whenever I read this newspaper or visit this website and read through or watch the videos, I feel more anxious or even a little bit more heavy, depressed, and tired." Start monitoring your information intake.

In nutrition, they say you are what you eat. The same goes for your mindset.

How can you expect to have an abundant mindset when everyone and everything around you that you're taking in is talking about lack, fear, struggle, and it's hard, etc., etc.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy to completely counteract that. Let me come in a little bit closer. It's the fairies. Healing with the fairies, we're gonna be journeying with all month.

So happy to be with you fairies. And I'm curious, fairies, elementals, guides, what do we need to know right now about unplugging from negativity? Ooh. Yeah, buddy. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.

Raise your standards. Absolutely. Raising your standards. Gorgeous card. The fairies are letting you know that you're not stepping back or shrinking down. Instead this is a statement that you have raised your standard for how you are treating your mind by making sure that you're clear and deliberate around what you put into it. Raise the standard of the type of emails that you desire to read.

Raise the standard of the type of phone calls that you desire to receive. Raise the standard of the type of people that you desire to be around, and raise the standard for the way that people should be treating you, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

That comes from you. The standard is always set by you. And it's time to raise your standards by unplugging from negativity.

So, comment below. Send me an email back. If you've got this on the love letters list. Let me know what's come up for you.

This is meant to be a conversation, a two-way street. And remember, if there is any way I can help in your business balancing mind, body, and business for you, just let me know.

You can go to VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact and reach out there. For now, that's it for this week, and we'll see you next time. Bye.

Just for Today...

Be vigilant about what’s draining your energy, and get rid of it.

Give yourself permission to unsubscribe to any news channels, email lists, social media or networking groups that are negatively affecting you.

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

SHARE THIS! You’d be surprised how many people you know right now are in desperate need of healing and could use this information to change their life. If you can read this, you know someone who needs this Love Letter!

Want spiritual support on your healing journey but don't know where to start? Let's work #together!

Click the pink button below to take your Abundance Energy Jumpstart Assessment with Victoria and jumpstart your healing journey, today!

Are you stuck at an indecision impasse? 

Can’t see the way forward out of a certain persistent issue in your business?

Struggling to stay positive while seeing little to no results no matter how hard you try?

Believe it or not, you’re actually stuck because you’ve been only using your own two eyes to look at the situation.

It’s time you learned to use your other eyes!

Watch this week’s 9-minute Love Letter video, the final installment in our 4-week series on Awakening Your Shaman Within in Business, to open your mind to receive your “other” eyes’ insight!

"I can't seem to make progress on that project."

This week, without further ado, the guides want you to know, it's time for you to use your other eyes. Use your other eyes. Did you know that you have more than just one set of eyes to look at your situation with?

At your life, at your business and the issues that come up on a day-to-day basis? Did you know you have more than just two eyes?

I don't mean like you're a potato. In the shamanic journey meditation practice there's a technique in particular called The Mind Meld where we merge our mindset with that of our power animal or our spirit guide.

In doing that we literally see and feel our experience and our lives through a totally different perspective. For example, one of my power animals is a white falcon, and when I merge with her I'm able to see things from a much more expanded perspective because she can fly and I feel weightless. With that, that's what we're talking about using your other eyes.

Now, this is a shamanic philosophy and concept like for you this week in particular to apply, using your other eyes, to your business, to your work.

If you don't have a business just yet, maybe you're in a startup, maybe you're moonlighting, etc., just watching this for the love. Mwah! Happy to give it to you, of course. We want you to use your other eyes.

Maybe there's a problem or a situation that's been coming up and really confounding you, frustrating you, you're feeling stuck, right? Not really able to get a headway on this one project in particular, or what to do about your client and customers, or for decisions in general.

And I'm specifically saying in your work like, and of course everything we talk about you can apply naturally to your personal life. But we want to focus on raising the vibration of your experience at work applying shamanic philosophy.

If you were to use your other eyes, how would you see the situation? If you were your dog, for example. Would your dog be really this stressed out about the thing that's been on your mind and crazy? Or how would the tree watching you through the window of your office perceive this if the tree had eyes? So that's the nature-based way of approaching it.

But also, if you don't have as creative an imagination, or as in tune of an intuition, you can borrow other people's eyes. Yes, yes? Especially that's a really great practice for writing, for emails, applications, proposals and presentations, etc. having a personal policy that nothing goes out unless another two sets of eyes look at this and really see what's going on in the situation so that you have backup.

How will you, this week in particular, implement what the guides are suggesting from shamanic philosophy using your other eyes? How are you going to implement that in your business, or in your workplace?

Know this: You always have more than two eyes to see you through any obstacle.

I'm curious to hear that. I'm hearing the oracle guides. Oracle cards. There's guidance everywhere. Whoops! That was last week's topic. Yeah. Oracle cards this week. Earth magic. Let me come in closer so that you can see. Yes, yes? Don't you just love how I'm using dimension? So good! Switching it up.

Earth Magic by Steven D. Farmer. One of the 20+ decks that we have here at the dojo. I would have to say around 90% of the decks that I have are by donation, and I'm always open to receiving more.

Thank you for those of you who sent them in. Okay, guides, what do we need to know in particular this week about using our other eyes? Wind: Activation. Check it out, this is a gorgeous card. Wind: Activation.

What I'm hearing from my guides in particular with this card around using our other eyes is two bring fresh energy and movement to a situation that you thought, or feel even right now, is absolutely immovable or completely stagnant. Wind is movement and activation.

Also, as a side note: If you've been feeling depressed lately, or something has got you feeling grief stricken or low vibration, get out. Go outside and let the wind hit you. Wind is very clearing and it helps emotional clearing as well.

That's just a side note for a health and wellness tip for those of you who needed that. At work in particular the reason why you need to use your other eyes is so that you can activate and bring fresh energy and movement to a project, a problem, and issue, a situation that you feel completely stuck on. It's time to use your other eyes.

Whether you're doing it in a meditative state, right? For those of you who want to use spiritual practice, or if you're using it in a relational state, and bringing in physical people here in this physical plane to help you see the way forward. I'd love for you to comment below or send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com.

Let me know what comes up for you around using your other eyes. I'm curious to hear how did you do it? What happened? What came up for you this week in particular?

And make sure that you subscribe on YouTube or on victoriawhitfield.com. There you'll get a free gift of not one, but two deep guided meditations from moi, mwah, for you. Go ahead, make sure that you subscribe so that you get your love letters first every single week, that you don't miss any single one of them. I look forward to seeing you again next week for our new series, but I can't tell you what it is yet. Just focus on using your other eyes this week in particular. Mwah, I'll see you then. Bye-bye.

Think you’re not enough?

Worried that your vision, goal or purpose is just plain too big for you to achieve?

Feeling like you’re in over your head and have way too much on your plate right now?

You’re right.

And it’s time to transform our Devil’s Advocate into our greatest cheerleader!

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the third installment in our 5-week series on transitioning “From Me to We”, to find the love and power in being not enough.

"I just don't feel like I can do it all anymore."

So this week is week three of five of our five week deep dive into transitioning from a me mindset to the we mindset, right?

We are called to exponential growth and impact in the world. And in order to make that happen, we have got to transition from the me mindset to the we mindset. And that's what we're focusing on this series in particular.

So if you have missed the first two weeks, go ahead, stop now. Go back on YouTube. Put in Sensei Victoria Whitfield Love Letters and subscribe there so that you can stay up to date and see them first every single week.

Without further ado, this week's topic is a bit counterintuitive, because you know I love you. And my guides are telling me to speak from the shadow and honor a truth that may sound painful yet strangely familiar to hear. You ready for it? You are not enough. You are not enough.

Now, let's predicate this. I understand that we've been going through a tough time before. I've had bouts of depression in my life. Absolutely. I'm a creative person. We have depression, right? Now just one. We have several, naturally. It's part of that creative process, right?

Phoenix is only phoenix if it can rise from those fired ashes. So I understand that this may be a phrase that you've been ... in the back of your head thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousand or millions of times to yourself. I hope not every day, but certainly over the course of the week, month, year, or your lifespan, telling ourselves "I am not enough," is usually our disempowering story, our self sabotage and self disempowerment story. Usually tends to have the title I Am Not Enough.

However, this week in particular, your guides, our guides, the tribe's guides want us to know that you're right! You are not enough. And why that is correct, this week in particular is because the vision, the desire, that you have received from your higher self is so much bigger than only your two hands can hold, right?

So to give you an example of the fact that I am not enough right now. Let's make this concrete. This is our pen jar here at the dojo, and in it is about 21 pens. Now, I have one of my hands, 21 pens. And I'm like, my hand is like stretched. I have little hands. I can hold 21 pens. Alright! And if I had times two, right, a second handful of 21 pens, that would be 42. Yay math. 42 pens, right?

And so, my limit on how much I can comfortably hold, right, of how many pens, or if you're watching as a business owner, how many clients, or how many employees. Or if you're watching and you don't quite have a business just yet, this is how many things you can juggle in a given day. Alright, 21, 42.

What if my vision is calling me to hold onto 420 pens? Now, I'm creative, right, I'd probably stuff some into my bra, or my like scarf, and like try and balance on my head, but I wouldn't be able to hold 420 pens, which is 10 times my absolute capacity. This shows that I am not enough to be able to realize the holding of 420 pens or the 10x of my current state.

So that means as a person, I am not enough, or I'm not a good person. Nope. That just means in order to receive the 10x of what I have right now or to receive the fullness of my desire, it's time to transition from it just being me holding all the pens, right?

Now this is a very small scale example of something that you may be going through right now, especially if you're a control enthusiast, yes. Mwah if that's you. Be kind to yourself if you like things done the way you like things done. Yeah. I'm right there with you. And we gotta stop that. Hashtag stop that. You're not enough.

My guides also told me that this mindset, the I'm not enough, I'm not enough, I'm not enough, as a disempowering story comes from learning conditional love and approval of ourselves. So this is extremely deep rooted.

If only just for now, decide that your lovability, your worthiness, your approval is without question and unconditional. Let's take you're not enough as a disempowering story off the table, and instead, reframe it as "Yeah. I'm not enough. I have got to bring on more support. I am excited to bring on more support and to link arms with my support tribe."

And now I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy that we've been journeying with all month. Let me come in a wee bit closer. Life Purpose Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, one of the I don't know how many, 20 something, I don't know, decks that we have here at the dojo.

Angels, what do we need to know right now about embracing the positive side of I am not enough. Huh. Couldn't get any better. Here we go. Let go. Let go. Walk away from the situation in order to resolve it.

So this is like the delegator's mantra. Let go. Let go. Walk away. Take your hands off of the computer, and let the person who's better qualified to do it, do it. So good. Be kind to yourself if you have trouble letting go. This week, you're being called to walk away from it. Hashtag stop that.

So go ahead, post in the comments below what's coming up for you hearing all of this? Oh my goodness, is this great news or is this I officially cannot stand you news?

And please remember, if there's any way I can be of service, right, or if you need help balancing your mind, body, and spirit of letting go of the things that you've been holding onto, go ahead and reach out. Just let me know at VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact.

Okay, so that's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you'll get these love letters first every week, and I'll see you for the next installment of our series.

Bye.

Know this: When you tell yourself you are not enough, you’re right! And I explain why that’s a GOOD thing!

And talk to someone about helping you with that list or even taking it totally off your hands.

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

I wanted to share with you this special message at this wonderful beach environment, to support you for our next Mercury Retrograde.

My guides to told me to “pull back on the arrow,” so that I could go forward full force with renewed energy. For me, that means being unplugged, so I'm going to teach you a little bit more about that before I share with you a special initiative that's going on here at the dojo. 

With that being said, if you haven't yet gone back on my blog and subscribed to the Love Letters or found where the blog is, hit pause, go back to victoriawhitfield.com/freegift, and make sure that you start there so that you're grounded in this process.

At the filming of this video, it's July in 2019, and we are getting ready for yet another Mercury Retrograde, starting July 7 and ending July 31. The real power, the wonderful healing power of Mercury Retrograde is actually that it helps us to see all of the drains in our energy. It reveals that bit by bit. For some of us, the drains have to be revealed in uncomfortable circumstances in order to get our attention, so if that’s you, I'm sending you so much love and support so that you're able to get through it, but the point is for you to pull back on the arrow this month, too.

In our ascension path as entrepreneurs and as professional people, we tend to get addicted to and base our worth on how much momentum we can generate: the more that we're able to move forward, the more that we're able to get things done - and get things done well - and cross things off of the task list. But, just the other day when I was speaking locally - and I've been out speaking a lot more recently, by the way, and I’m finding it's a lot of fun. I'm making a lot of really deep impact and making greeter, more intimate connections with the local tribe...

The other day when I was speaking, something that we went over was the power of working ON your business rather than just IN it. When you can set aside time and space to work On your business and not just In your business, that's when the quantum leaps happen. That's where the real progress that gets you back into alignment in a massive way, with your vision and your life purpose, tends to take off. With that being said, the gift of Mercury Retrograde is it causes us to step back, to pull back on the arrow and refocus what we're aiming at, and how we are aiming. And the more that we can improve our alignment, the more effective we become overall. So, if you have not prepared yourself for Mercury Retrograde, or if you have not had a good one before, I want to support you in doing that.

Are you loving The Love Letters? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:

Over the next few weeks, we as a team, we're going to be re-releasing the “Rock Your Retrograde” Love Letters Mercury Retrograde video series, for two reasons. One, I did a really good job of explaining exactly what to do while Mercury Retrograde is happening, and for those of you who aren't familiar with it, I break it down in those videos, so stay tuned for that. And Two, the other purpose is for me myself to pull back on the arrow. I want to better serve you. After eight years of doing new content constantly, and you following my evolution over time, I want you to be able to be better served at this current level of vibration. We have the podcast out now. We're going on 50 episodes, and I want to be able to share that with you effectively.

Also we have the quarterly Strategic Spa Retreats to support you, such as the next one that we're about to have this month in Bay Head, New Jersey, on the beach, for grounding and clearing your energy as a conscious entrepreneur and helping you to get back on your path as the visionary that you've been called to be, not just someone who's tasking away and putting out fires left and right. There's so much more to your purpose than that, so with love, I want to be even more effective in maintaining our relationship and guiding you, and in order to do this, I'm going to take some space to pull back on my arrow as well, refocusing and retooling. Also I’ll take some time to be out in nature more, because I know I need that for my energy, especially as an empath.

So, I just wanted to do a really quick Love Letter this week. Focus this month in particular on pulling back on the arrow for your self so that you can refocus and retool, too. Just because it may look like you're going backwards, pulling back on the arrow doesn't mean that you are. We're refocusing and retooling, and that's the magic of Mercury Retrograde, the really deep magic of it. By the way, a Retrograde is an optical illusion. It looks like things are going backwards in the night sky, but that's actually not true. Things are still moving forward, but they appear to be going backwards. It's an optical illusion, so be kind to yourself. Keep calm and carry on.

If you're secretly feeling afraid of taking the time to step back, reevaluate, retool, refocus, then this is your chance to do it, and we're here to support you as a tribe. If you have not joined the Deep Dive Retreat yet, I think I have one last space available. Go ahead to http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat to reserve the last spot for yourself. We would love to see you there, this year or next. 

I'm sending you so much love. Have a happy Retrograde and enjoy the journey. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Focus on Pulling Back on The Arrow.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly Love Letter for helping you to live a life that is loving yourself, and also loving the business that you're in.

I’m Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your Business Reiki Master and it's my joy to help empathic entrepreneurs like you get and stay grounded and clear in mind, body, and business. I'm here at the gorgeous Washington Rock, here in New Jersey. This is a 20+ mile view, out here in the dead of winter.

The new topic that we're going to be talking about over our next series is really about Being Clear on what we're stepping into. This is especially important because we're stepping into our divinity this year, and that demands clarity - isn't it true? With that, I wanted to bring you to this space. It's a sacred space of mine because seeing this far out represents having clear perspective.

Now it's the dead of winter, so the trees are bare, you can see clean through to the other side of the trees. You can see all the way from here in central New Jersey, clean out to New York, actually. It's really far. This is actually where George Washington was watching to see where the opposing army was marching; it was from this lookout, in particular.

So, here is something to note on Perspective. Sometimes in order for us to get the right vision that spirit has for us as we are stepping into our calling or stepping into our divinity, we must be able to elevate our perspective and really open up to see things from that 20-mile view. This week in particular, my guides are telling me to challenge you, "How can you step back? How can you clear things so that you are able to see from that further-out perspective?"

I hear the oracle cards calling in the energy, and it's a little bit cold here, so I'm going to make this quick. The oracle cards that we'll be journeying this month with in particular, are the Isis Oracle Cards Deck by Alana Fairchild. I'm happy to explore this deck with you. The oracle card of the week is Temple Of Lapis Lazuli, Goddess of the Ancient Skies. What do we need to know right now, Temple of Lapis Lazuli, Goddess of the Ancient Skies?

What’s dropping in as a message from this card in particular, is to really open up to your higher knowing. When you think of lapis lazuli as a healing stone, this has to do with opening your throat chakra, but also connecting to our star origins, as a people. When we're tapping into that higher knowledge and claiming it, the process entails remembering the ancient wisdom that is embedded within us, by seeing how it comes from having a higher, more elevated perspective on life and business. Step back, first, so that you can access this level of awareness.

I'm curious what drops in for you, this week in particular. I just wanted to share the natural beauty of this lookout with you, this beautiful view. I think I'll come back and continue to do this series from Washington Rock. Remember to take in that 20-mile view of your life and business. Wherever you're watching this, whenever you're watching this in the year, it's time for you to take a step back, pretty far back, to get the right perspective so that you can step into your divinity with clarity.

All right, I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say. What speaks to you about this 20-mile view: seeing this far out is powerful, what's coming up for you? By the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week. And I'll see you in our next installment of the Love Letters.

Just for today...

Imagine that you could see your life and business from high above, taking in the bigger picture.

Consider how things that appear Big and significant close up are really small in the grand scheme of things, and how things that appear Small and insignificant close up can have massive impact on your greater goal.

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

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

Are your joints stiff and achey from sitting all day at the computer?

Been so busy taking care of business that you completely forgot to eat breakfast and/or lunch?

Feeling tired all the time?

These are signs that you are physically ungrounded.

It's time to clear out that stagnant energy and get you back in flow!

Watch this week's 11-minute love letter video, which is the second of a four part series on grounding.

"I lay awake at night thinking about what I need to do next."

Last week, we discussed why we ground and what's at stake in that.

The reason why, just as a quick recap, is because we're empathic beings.

We all have a natural empathic sense, which picks up ambient, intuitive data, and sometimes, that sense can get overwhelmed, and grounding flushes that and manages the health of our empathic system.

Today, we're going to be talking about what is physical grounding?

Have you ever had this experience where, let's say you're at work, you're in the zone, and you're really typing up this really great thing, maybe email, or report, or whatever, and you're on the phone, man, you're really jamming out with whoever you're serving.

Then you're going over to do this task and then this task, and then so and so needs your help, and so you're helping them, and then you're ... Before you know it, the end of the day comes. You haven't peed. You haven't eaten. You haven't even been outside. Before you know it, I'm looking at the window over here. Beautiful, beautiful, sunny day outside.

Before you know it, the day is gone. The whole season, maybe, even is gone. This is a sign that you are physically ungrounded.

Another one.

Maybe you work at home at your computer, or maybe as a student, you're going to class all day and studying.

Do you ever have these feelings of tightness in your shoulders? Tightness in your neck and your upper back?

Tightness, I know you can feel it as I'm doing this, in your hips, right, and your pelvis, tightness in your knees. Tightness in your jaw. Tightness, do you feel tightness?

That is a sign that you are physically ungrounded.

‪Know this: Tightness and forgetting to eat (because you're "too busy") are signs of being physically ungrounded.

Be kind to yourself, if this is speaking to you. Here's the thing.

Physical grounding is managing our empathic system as it manifests physically.

Another form, another sign that you are physically ungrounded, is that your space is disorderly. Maybe there's stuff on the floor and stuff like that.

Right now, I have all these lovely resources to share with you for whichever want to come, speaks to me, but this is clutter.

Clutter is a sign of ungrounding.

I'm in my crown chakra shocker right now.

That's why I have this on the treatment table. I will ground after I do this video, of course, but if there's clutter, that's another physical sign that you're physically ungrounded.

I'm standing to speak to you to make sure that I keep regrounding, regrounding, regrounding my physical body so that I'm able to present to you.

Here's the thing. If you find that tension in your body, or if you find that you have not peed, you are not eating, like you're forgetting to take care of the body, you're not even sleeping because you're just laying awake at night thinking, "Oh, I gotta do this thing for so and so. I gotta go get Ben to go ... I gotta go get Stacy, and I gotta go get Jennifer and blah, and so and so, and ... "

You may love everybody. I do, too, hey, and there are some people that are stinky. I understand, I know some stinky winkies too, like the crusty crabs.

Laying awake at night, trying to problem solve all up in here does nothing for all this.

This week in particular, the guides are asking for you to focus on taking care of your physical health, and clearing all that mental, emotional energy from your body, by connecting to your body naturally.

Now by the way, one way that you can do that is allowing nature to call.

Anyone knows that when they come to meetings here, whether they're on a team healing journey here at the dojo, where we're doing healing journeys for entire offices, and teams, together. Which is awesome. Or if you're here for the retreats at the dojo. I'm loving how I'm phrasing things right now. Send me some love.

Whether you're here on retreats here at the dojo, and you're here for five hours, or more, everyone knows, about every hour I say, "Ready? Run and pee for your life. Let's take a pee break." This is physically grounding.

This is to honor the fact that your body has functions.

Believe it or not, not allowing your body to eliminate, whether it's poo, or pee, or the blood that comes out for ladies, or for the rest of us when we have an orgasm and releasing that energy, that can hold in empathic data.

Yes, really. Allow yourself to go to the bathroom. I know some of you are watching this and being like, "Come on Victoria, are you serious?" Yes.

For those who are highly empathic you can get so absorbed in the nonphysical aspects of being highly empathic that you forget to take care of your body.

When you're cultivating your natural intuition, your physical channel has got to be clear and grounded, grounded meaning connected to your zero, right?

Connected to neutral to nature, so that it can easily receive and release empathic data.

No my guides are telling me to pull a card. Let's see which deck? Which deck am I going to choose? I'll bring you with me.

Archangel Michael is coming through right now. We'll close this week out with Archangel Michael, another Doreen Virtue deck, one of 20, and counting.

By the way you can always, always, always, send gift of oracle cards here to the dojo. We're happy to receive that.

Okay, some of the cards are forward pointing, so we're going to put them back to normal. Whenever people come for meditation class here at the dojo, everyone plays with the oracle cards, pulls their own reading.

It's one of the lovely perks of coming to meditation class. It's Monday and Thursday night at 7 pm here in Westfield, New Jersey. If you're out of state, we could get you on Skype, but I can't really pull cards for you because you're far away, or maybe I could.

All right Archangel Michael, what do we need to know this week about physical grounding? New beginnings and a fresh start.

That's beautiful.

"Thank you for bringing new opportunities and offering support, and for help me release, and heal, my past. Fill me with trust as I experience these life changes."

Releasing and healing my past, my guides are saying, really circling that, in the energy for physical grounding.

This week in particular, it's time to poop. Go on a cleanse.

As you cleanse your intestinal system, you are actually releasing the past.

All of those emotions, tensions, experiences, worries, can get backed up in your system. It's not just poo cleanse, but I can also be a blood cleanse, a liver cleanse.

This week my guides are talking cleanse, to help you ground and clear your personal energy, specifically for maintaining your empathic system.

What kind of cleanse are you going to do? Is it going to be more fiber? Are you going to go on a juice cleanse?

Maybe you're going to take alfalfa sprout pills, or whatever works for you, comment below. Whether you're on YouTube or on VictoriaWhitfield.com, I'd love to hear it.

You can send me an email back, just respond to this email that you received to your inbox of your love letter.

By the way, if you're not getting these every week, what are you doing? Go ahead to VictoriaWhitfield.com/freegift, to make sure that you get your love letter every week, and I'll send you a free meditation for signing up, so that you could start clearing your energy right now. Okay?

Let me know how this goes and we'll see you next week for week three of four in our deep dive around grounding. See you then.
