This is week three of four, and we have been exploring the power of getting into the vortex, and staying there, in business.

This is our new role. Whether or not you choose to live a heart-centered and mission-driven lifestyle and take your business to the next level is up to you. But if you're on that path with me, then jump on this train, because we are headed there: to having a vortex-based business and making sure our career is juicy, delicious and inspiring, so that we enjoy the journey to success and impact.

If every time I say vortex, you're wondering what the heck is that, go ahead and go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one of this four-part series. If you're ready, let's begin. This week in particular - or as we say in Reiki, since I'm a Reiki master, we say “just for today” - what the guides would like us to focus on is playing the right game in business. Last week, we started playing the game of “spot the energy drain”, where we ran an anti-vortex audit of the business.

...By the way, how is that going? Ding, ding! Accountability bell! The accountability alarm is ringing! Comment below, or send me an email back at info@VictoriaWhitfield.com. Let me know: Did you do the audit, or are you just watching these and thinking, “this is so entertaining!” and not actually doing anything? The transformation comes when you take action. There's a reason why the word attraction ends in action, okay?

Last week, we started playing the game of “spot the energy drain”, while taking an audit of all the things that kick you out of the vortex. With love, I must tell you that you don't want to play that game too much, because wherever your awareness goes, energy flows. Some of you may have had the experience that as you're doing your audit, more of the crap starts coming out and rearing its ugly head. It's a bit of a slippery slope, and hey, attraction is attraction. Like attracts like.

So, let’s play the right game going forward, now that you've got your audit and you're working on it or the team's working on it, or now that you've already implemented lovely new processes to make sure that those drains don't exist anymore. The right game that we want to play, from this point forward, is “raise the roof.” Raise the roof, baby! Just for today, we're going to focus on raising the roof: making sure that we are searching now in every experience, every customer interaction, every touch point of the marketing, every bit of paperwork, in all the little touches around the office space, in how you feel getting ready to go to work, or how you feel coming home afterward – in all these things we're going to raise the roof.

This entails specifically looking at each situation asking “how can this be even better?” In one of the books I was reading on manifesting, I'm always tossing another one up and around, the writer recommended a verbal game to play with a friend called “wouldn't it be nice if...” and “wouldn't it be even better if...” and fill in the blank. Then the two of you keep going back and forth. Another one of my mentors also describes this as doing a “Groundhog Day”, where you look back and ask yourself, “what didn't go well?” And then ask, “if we were going to redo that again, how could we make it even better?”

With that in mind, I'm calling our game the game of “raising the roof.” Your upper limit is currently determining how much joy, abundance, attraction, turn-on, excitement, and peak state that you're capable of sustaining on a day-to-day basis. Tony Robbins calls this “raising your standards”,  or in a mental way, bringing up the floor beneath you a few levels.

A lot of my clients are already high achievers. Hey there to all of my clients by the way... thank you for your support, and it's such an honor to work with you and your teams. We as a tribe have got to work on raising the roof now, because although your standards may already be high compared to most people, comparing your level standards to others’ doesn’t really cut it, because it doesn't necessarily mean that you feel totally pleasured, inspired, creative, free-flowing, or filled with a sense of ease, support, safety, and protection while YOU are at work. Screw how other people feel and think: this is about you and how you feel only!

Just for today, I want you to look to ask, “how can we make this even better? How can I raise the roof? This is making me joyful, but what would make me even more happy would be XYZ...” Opening up to asking those questions strategically, and looking with that perspective takes a good business to a great business. It takes a nice partnership to a fantastic partnership. Takes your idea of “maybe one day I'm going to be happy,” to “oh, my goodness, I'm happy right here and now!” because you're living in the vortex. The more you look for how things could get even juicier, the more juicier things get. It's a positive catch-22!

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy, and the angels of abundance are here to help us raise the roof on our career and our business. All right let's do this let me get these cards out. Okay: Angels, what do we need to know right now about raising the roof, just for today and for every today that we have? What do we need to know about raising the roof?

Ooh, here we go. “Moonlighting. You can start working on your dream career part-time while keeping your other job to pay the bills. Soon, your dream career will take flight and fully support you.” This is a wonderful counterpoint to supporting what we're talking about this week, and this is where we'll leave off. The angels are talking about moonlighting because you may be happy or fine where you're at, say, in your career right now, but something inside of you has been saying, "Is that all there is?" or, "I'm focused on not being sad," or "I'm focused on not being unhappy, but I wish there was more" or, "I'm so focused on not being in pain," right, but what would it be like to be pain-free? Or, "What I'm focused on is marketing to get clients and generating sales calls,” but what would be even better is if the clients were coming to me and I had a team out there doing the booking and follow-up for those sales calls, or even doing the sales calls, too, for me!

Moonlighting is essentially good for creating thinking space for you. So, maybe some of you are night owls. I know someone in particular who's watching and reading this right now, where it's late at night or really early in the morning, when you have enough quiet time to think big. You have enough space to access your expanded perspective. By the light of the moon, what's calling you? What's that next level vision? What would be even better? Maybe during the day you’re working in your accounting firm, but in the evening you’re building up your non-profit for battered women, or writing out the copy for that VIP program, or writing your book. Whatever it may be, what is your moonlight work?

Comment below. Send me an email back at info@VictoriaWhitfield.com. I'd love to hear it. Tell me what are you going to start doing to “raise the roof” on your already fabulous business now. Let's take it to the next level this week!

If you need support in doing that, or you're having a hard time seeing past your current “roof” or upper limit right now, things are fine and you really can't imagine anything better, then go to www.VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact/ and get on my calendar. Trust me, between me and my guides, we'll help you see an even better future for you and show you how to get there.

All righty! That's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, every week. Hit the share button for someone who you know and love who needs to “raise the roof” in their career and business... And I'll see you next week. Bye!

Just for today...

Play the game of “raise the roof” at work, especially with your clients and colleagues.

Suggest and improvement and make it a fun and friendly competition to see who can come up with the most fabulous, juicy idea of how to make things better.

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

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...

The post Love Letters | Play the Right Game – Part 3 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week two of four of our exploration of getting into the vortex in business.

It’s a whole month-long affirmation that your role, should you choose to accept it and choose to notice, is to get and stay in a high-vibrational state in your professional life.

This week in particular, my guides are saying that we have got to focus on doing an anti-vortex audit. Now, pause, if you don't know what a vortex is yet, and you're like, "Victoria, what the heck are you saying?" Maybe this is your first video. Go ahead, stop, go back on the blog at victoriawhitfield.com, start at week one. We go in depth explaining what a vortex is, and why that's important to your business.

But for those of you who are ready: let's go. This week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today, we're going to focus on doing an anti-vortex audit in your business and in your company. Tell me if this has ever happened to you: You're talking about one of your offerings and there's a part that is kind of annoying, so you communicate that like: "We can just skip over this part, that's not that big of a deal. What we're really focusing on is blah, blah, blah." Or, maybe this has happened to you: When you're getting ready to go to work, you're kind of stressing about that one person, that one colleague, that one client that you're going to have to come across today, and you think “oh my gosh, shields up!” Right? All my professional empaths and entrepreneurs out there know about putting their shields up for sure.

Be kind to yourself. If we have paperwork that is so annoying, or you hate the way those pens write, it just drives you crazy. Or that one door that never really closes. All of these are wonderful examples of things that kick you out of the vortex in your business and in your workplace. Wouldn't it be a revolution if everybody employed by the company -- and, by the way, if you're a solo entrepreneur, you're a company of one -- wouldn't it be nice if you and if we all as a team were to notice all the little areas, all the little snags on the flow of abundance, creativity, productivity and creation in the business?

Wouldn't it be amazing if we were able to see it, lay eyes on it, make a list of it, and then, boom, boom, boom, smash them all? Take care of them all? Because, here's what happens: When you have a business and work place that is in the vortex, it's a pleasure to come to work. Being in the vortex as a team, being in the vortex as a CEO, a founder, is such a pleasurable experience. Not only that, but it increases your profitability. Because it's speeds your ability to solve problems, and to holistically solve problems, because you're coming at the issue from an elevated mindset.

It increases your energy because there are no snags. No things that are kicking you out or draining you as you go through day. Instead, you're getting energized more and more as you go throughout the day. It makes you more attractive because you come off a lot more confident, full of life and energy. Then lastly, increases morale. Whether it’s the morale of one person, or the morale of the entire team.

Whether you're coming to work at your kitchen table, opening up that laptop, and getting on the phone by yourself, or if you're – winking to all my peeps at AT&T, who I have spoken at around five or six times on this topic – you're coming to work thinking, "Oh my god. I have the ‘pleasure’ of allowing extra time to get through this multi-level parking deck and find my way to my desk finally.” LOL! Being in the vortex and making sure that being at work is a pleasurable, inspiring, and energizing experience benefits you. Doesn't matter if you're starting out or if you're highly successful and highly actualized already.

The way that you do an anti-vortex audit of your business, of your company is, you keep track of – this week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today, keep track of – all the things that kind of rub you the wrong way or are bit of a turn-off. Before we get to the Oracle cards, because I hear them calling in the energy. Here’s a quick story.

When I was manifesting, several years ago, this office space, I was declaring, "I want to a fireplace. I want two windows that are floor-to-ceiling. I want to be able to paint the walls. I want to have a front porch. I want to have a lawn. I want to have a backyard where I can have my fire pit, and I want it to be quiet. I want to be on the first floor. I want to have a sign." Yada, yada, yada. Writing all the things on my goal card. When I was writing all of that out, I didn't know that I was going to get literally to the “T” everything that I ask for. Should I ask for more? Duh! You best believe I will next time.

During the manifesting process me and my business partner at the time were looking at different spaces. We came across one that was, you know, “seemingly workable.” Everything was provided. All of the amenities. All of the toiletries were provided in this large house, co-working space. Okay. Here's where it gets funky. I used the facilities, went to wash my hands, and the soap, waaa, kicked me out of the vortex. It's smelled like chemicals, and texture-wise, it felt like a loogie, ah. It dried my hands out completely, and there was no lotion. I came out of the bathroom, I was like, "We cannot, we cannot be here! The soap is horrible!"

Of course, my business partner's looking at me and said, "Are you kidding me? The soap!? This place is great! Everything's included. Blah, blah, blah." I was adamant, "Nope. I don't get a right feeling about this." If I wasn't crazy enough to listen to how I feel, I would not have manifested this space that I am now enjoying today. By the way, we have fabulous soap here. It's in fact called Ecstasy Soap. Beautiful French milled soap here that smells and feels delicious. That matters to me, and that was a sign for me that that place was not a right-fit.

Now, I know it's a bit of a funky example, but I put my intuition first. How I feel is what matters most to me. My experience of coming to work and being at work had better be at the level that I desire, or else I'm not going to be able to focus as a creative. The same goes for you. That's one little example, but yeah, it could even be the soap. Got it? Do an anti-vortex audit of your business, of your company.

Now I'm going to pull an Oracle card. Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck – we're journeying with them all month as we get ready also for the Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat in Lennox, Massachusetts this month. If you're not there yet, go ahead over to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Let's chat. You should be there. Okay. Let's get into the vortex together. Angels of Abundance: What do we need to know right now about doing an anti-vortex audit of our company this week? Hey. Very good. It says, “Attracting, not chasing.” Yes! "Anything or anyone you chase after, will run the other way. Because the fears underlying chasing energy. Instead, attract what you need by sending out love, gratitude and welcoming energy." This card couldn't be more perfect. Here's why:

When you feel attracted to the work place, when you feel attractive in your professional giving – whether you're giving to your customers, giving to your clients, giving to your team, or giving to your community – when you feel attractive, you are attracting. It's the law of attraction that's states, "Like is drawn unto like." When you feel good at work, when there's camaraderie, high morale, productive, open, vulnerable conversations going on, then you’re in the vortex and attracting more good things. Not everything is roses, though. Sometimes we need to have some tough conversations. If we feel attracted to the conversation because we know that it's grounded and coming from the heart, though, this attracts in more abundance.

When you're pushing the old letterhead, and pushing the disgusting soap, and pushing through the tough relationships that you have with your vendors, for example, or when you're pushing to make a nightmare client a dream client – that's chasing energy. The specific words are, "Anything or anyone you chase after will run the other way. Because of the fears underlying chasing energy."

The point of you running an anti-vortex audit of your company, just for today, of your business, of your workplace, just for today, is to eliminate any and all fear, any and all negativity from your experience. You deserve it. It's possible. You can do it.

Go ahead and comment below, or send me an email back at, info@victoriawhitfield.com. What comes up for you? By the way, what did you notice? I would love to hear what came out in your audit. Go ahead and post that below and share it with the tribe so that we lift the vibration of all our work spaces. Let's change the face of how business is being done. All right? That's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get these love letters first every week. I'll see you next time. Bye.

Just for today...

Run an anti-vortex audit of your company, business or workplace, and don’t hold back.

Track and make note of everything that annoys you, doesn’t feel good and kicks you out of your flow – from the way a pen writes all the way up to the way you feel about working with certain clients.

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

The post Love Letters | Run an Anti-Vortex Audit – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

In our new series here at the Love Letters, what we are going to be talking about is the power of getting and staying in the vortex in business. 

This series is for all of my entrepreneurs who are Abraham-Hicks fans. Hey, I’m right there with you! Also, shout out to all of you who have been joining me on Facebook every Monday at 7:30 AM for another reading of Ask and It Is Given. We've been working on it for quite a long time now, just an excerpt a week. It's been amazing. It's so good for you and I together to put ourselves in a positive mindset, going forward in the day and in the week.

In this series, though, we're talking about getting and staying in the vortex in business: why you want to do it, how you're going to do it, why it's important, and the benefits and the results for you that you get from getting and staying in the vortex. Let's get to it.

First of all, what the heck is a vortex?  Okay, rest of the tribe who's watching and thinking, "You're using jargon. What are you saying?" A vortex is a mental-emotional “place” for you to get into. It's a feeling state. If you've ever felt that like you're in the zone, or as Tony Robbins would say, feeling like you're in a “peak state”, you're really feeling in a state of flow, feeling unstoppable, confident, or “turned on” and “juicy”, as Mamagena would say. That's what being in the vortex is.

When we are in “the vortex” - as Abraham Hicks would call this - we are totally in alignment with receiving and allowing all that we have asked in all that we've written out on our goal cards, put up on the vision boards, prayed for, written letters to the universe, made goals and visions and strategies and business visions, mission statements, and so on and so forth. When we are in the vortex, we're in the state of allowing, where we can receive with effortless ease all that we have asked for, because when you ask, it is given. It's hard to receive what you're being given when you're white-knuckling with the universe. When we're in the vortex, it feels so good that our hands open and we're capable of receiving that which we have asked for.

So, in your personal life or maybe in your spiritual life as you're developing your own relationship with your energy, maybe you've considered the importance of feeling good and the importance of feeling connected to nature or tuned in or tapped in, turned on already. But have you considered being in the vortex and being turned on or in peak state, so to speak, in your business, in your professional life?

This is what we're going to be talking about all month and, especially, at the next upcoming two-day live retreat, The Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat in Lenox, Massachusetts. At the filming of this video, it is scheduled next for September 15th and 16th, 2018. If you're watching this at another time of year or another year, etc., the teachings are just as valid. By the way, it's an annual retreat so just look for the next one on my website, victoriawhitfield.com.

For this week in particular, I want you to consider the power of getting into your peak state of being in flow, because when you are, you are confident. Write this down: When you are confident, you manifest anything you want. When you are confident, you manifest ANYTHING you want! There's nothing stopping you when you feel unstoppable because what matters most is how you feel.

Now in relationship to the vortex itself, the vortex is a feeling state. It's a, what I like to call, a “feeling bridge.” Imagine that there's a non-physical reality where all the things you ever imagined, hoped for and asked for wished for, envisioned and imagined for yourself - and, let's say, just focusing on your hopes professionally, for the sake of our conversation today. Then, in contrast, here we are in a physical 3-D reality. We're down here in physical reality, where there's bills and there's nightmare clients, where there's fatigue, and so on and so forth. We have all these limitations and circumstances down here in the current, manifested physical reality.

The vortex I like to think of as a bridge between those two realties. In fact, that bridge – once you are feeling in a high-vibrational state or feeling in your peak state, feeling confident and unstoppable, turned on and joyful – pulls down all of what's ready to come down into physical reality. It pulls it down from non-physical reality into physical reality. The vortex is a feeling bridge that pulls down non-physical reality, the things that you ask for, into physical reality, the things that you are seeing sight, sound, taste, touch, smelling, and so on.

This week in particular, or in Reiki, as we say, “just for today”, I want you to focus on how you feel. In fact, and this is what we're going to be talking about for the rest of the month, your number one role in business and in your career is to get and stay in the vortex. Now, we're going to be talking about why that is so important. It supercharges your abundance as well as the well-being and abundance of all those you are serving through your profession.

For now, the Oracle Cards are calling in the energy. This month we're journeying with the Angels of Abundance. This is another oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue. Thank you, goddess Julie for gifting the Dojo with this deck. Asking: Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about getting into the vortex in business and why it's important?

Words of Abundance. By the way, my team's been posting these oracle cards on my LinkedIn lately. If you want to see the card in more detail, go ahead and pop over and say hi on LinkedIn. Okay, it says: "You have the ability to instantly manifest abundance by choosing powerfully positive words. Always describe your own in the world's economic situation in loving and optimistic terms. That is what you attract for yourself and others." Here's where we're going to leave off this week.

Your words have power. In fact, what you speak is what you create. The stories that you tell are what create your world around you. Choose to tell a more empowering story. I know we spoke about that last month: Create a new story, tell a new story. Specifically look at the vibration of your words this time. Are you using words that are turning you on or inspiring belief, faith, positivity, and uplifting yourself and others? Or are your words communicating just how crusty, crunchy, awful and stressed-out and hopeless or held victimized you are feeling? Watch it.

Remember your role. We're just going to keep affirming it all month long. Your role in business and in your career is to get and stay in the vortex. Now I'm curious to hear what you have to say about that. Go ahead and comment below. Send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. That comes straight to me. Let me know what comes up for you around that.

Don't forget to ask about coming to the Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat, our two-day live strategic spa retreat in Lenox, Massachusetts, September 15th and 16^th at VictoriaWhitfield.com/AbundanceMindsetMakeoverRetreat/.

I'll see you there. Share this! Share it with someone who you feel needs a shot from the vortex in their professional lives this week. Mwah. See you next time.

--

Just for today...

Be mindful how your words have power and create your reality.

Listen to the vibrational feeling of the words you use, to see if they feel uplifting and positive or draining and negative to YOU and only you, as you say them.

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

The post Love Letters | Get in to The Vortex in Business – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

It’s week three of four in our exploration of restoring lost faith. This week in particular, my guides are asking for us to talk about what to do when we lose faith in our business and in our career.

What happens when you start losing faith that you are on the right track, that you really are supposed to be doing this as a business, or that you've chosen the right major in college? If this is the first video that you are seeing in this series, hit pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from Part One, so that you are grounded in the healing process.

What happens when the economy really starts to show trouble, and challenges us around moving forward with ease, speed, and grace? What happens when in the business or at your company there is strife amongst coworkers, amongst the tech team and management, amongst the sales department and customer service? What do we do when we start losing faith in our business and in our career? What happens, in fact, when we get fearful or insecure that the income, the money, is going to be there?   And that the client flow into the business is going to be steady? What do we do?

Be kind to yourself if this is you, if this has been coming up for you recently. Please know that this series is to support you. We are sending healing energy to you and your team, your community, your coworkers, your family in these uncertain times. If this is not for you, please listen to your heart. If there is someone in particular, or if you need to share this with a group that you belong to on LinkedIn or on Facebook or on a message board where this could be a really healing message, please make sure you hit that share button and let other people know that they are loved and that they are not alone in business.

What we're talking about is losing faith in your business, what this can feel like, and how this shows up is deep, constant worry with anything associated with money. In fact, a fear, a persistent fear of spending money or even making money. There's this upper limit issue that starts coming through where we doubt that, that financial flow is going to be steady or even if that financial flow is steady, there's the doubt that it's going to be a healthy and pleasurable process.

We bring this doubt into our minds and into our bodies, because like we discussed last week, it's a form of self-motivation and self-protection. This is the imbalanced way that we learned how to move things forward. Perhaps your bosses early on or your role models early on taught you that you gotta work hard, trust no one, make sure that you're prepared for the worst scenario always. Or maybe you learned to assume that nobody's doing anything, and assume that there's always something to fix, so you better be on the lookout. We’ve been taught to perpetuate a persistent, negative, pessimistic, fearful mindset that is especially prevalent in business, in professional settings, and around money.

If only just for now -- or as we say in Reiki: if only just for today -- we as a tribe are saying No More to fueling and perpetuating this negative “professional” mindset.

Repeat after me:

No more.

No more.

One more time, so that they really hear it:

NO MORE!

Deep breath in... and exhale.

That’s right! Today is the day that we are officially releasing the paranoid professional mindset. That's a writer-downer. That'll be the Tweetable of the week. Thanks team, by the way for all your support.

We are releasing the paranoid professional mindset, because it's unhealthy, and it fosters a constant drain of faith. If you watched our last video, we talked about the oil lamp, making sure that we are refilling the oil lamp. Remember? Well, what do we do when we are being drained like this? What do you do when this is what your experience is: a loss of faith, specifically in relationship to having faith in your income, faith in your business, faith in your team, your professional career?

This week, in particular, my guides have offered the idea of Opening. The intuitive art of Being Open and Activating Opening. Now, when I'm talking about Opening, I'm not saying, open a new business. No, no, no. But, instead a renewed opening of your heart, opening of your mind. When we are in business, when we are in a professional setting, oftentimes to artificially manufacture stability and certainty in times of high instability and high uncertainty, we will close down, we’ll put our “nose to the grindstone” so-to-speak, and really hem in our awareness, saying to ourselves, “we're not gonna focus on anything else, nothing new. Tried and true only.”

Sometimes that can work: focusing on nothing new, tried and true only. However, when we get to a certain point of doing nothing new, tried and true only, that is exhausting, draining, and stagnating.   Stagnation is not good. In fact, money hates stagnation. Business, commerce is a flow. It is an energetic current. Money likes to move, to be transferred, sent, and received abundantly. It's like water. It is not good to be stagnant, in the professional setting.

So, how do we move from being stuck in stagnancy? The answer this week in particular, is Opening the heart and Opening the mind. And how do we do that? When we're opening the mind, that involves strategy, visualization, exposure to things that are bigger or different, diverse, divergent, being open to multiple voices. Being open to hearing multiple sides of the story. Being open to receiving leadership, not just from the top, but from the entire chain of the company. Being open to receiving feedback from our TA’s in college, from our mentors, from our personal assistants, from our executive assistants, from our customers. Open to feedback from our family, our dearest friends, and coworkers. Being Open to receive more.

By the way, that also means opening your heart for the sake of positive vulnerability. Be kind to yourself if that is something that intimidates you. No, it ain't for the faint of heart, but is is worth it? The answer is YES, categorically, yes. When you are open hearted, you show up as really ready to hear the honest truth, asking “How do you do this?” “I don't know how to do this. Will you teach me?” “My mind is open. My heart is open.” Say it aloud. It is so grounding and so loving to receive in this way, especially in business.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. We've been journeying this month with Healing with the Angels by Doreen Virtue, her very first oracle card set she ever made. Okay. Angels, what do we need to know right now about restoring faith when we've lost faith in our income, lost faith in our business, restoring professional faith, and being open? Hey, alright! New Beginnings. Isn’t this perfect? New Beginnings. This is so perfect. I will read to you, that it's time for something new. Let's release the stagnation. Let's release the stagnation by being open:

"A clean slate is presented to you as you now encounter fresh opportunities and novel experiences. Embrace the new in your life, including new opportunities, people, and projects. The Angels know that change can be frightening, and they surround you now with loving energy. Call upon them whenever you feel afraid of facing novel situations. They will boost your confidence and energy so that you can enjoy your new beginnings. Sometimes we cling to old routines, because they are familiar." We were just talking about that whole tried and true, nothing new thing. Wow. "Drawing this card, the Angels ask you to be open ...." You can't make this stuff up. Open. Seriously!? Okay, let me keep reading. "... to new approaches to life. Perhaps they will teach you a new way of looking at situations. Or, maybe they will call on you to learn a new skill. Whatever the new beginning is for you, allow yourself to be stretched by the fresh circumstances. We learn about ourselves through new experiences." Come on now. This is so card is so perfect. Wow!

So this is where we'll leave off this week: it’s time for your positive vulnerability is to be stretched professionally. Open up. Allow the newness in. Be open to being inspired by something new. 

What comes up for you hearing all that? Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. I wanna hear what are you going to explore or research or listen to or be open to receive in your business. What are you going to open to, maybe for the first time.

The post Love Letters | Faith in Your Business – Part 3 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week two of four of our series on discussing healing a loss of faith, and this week in particular, the guides are asking that we discuss a loss of faith in yourself.

By the way, I want to be clear that when we're talking about a loss of faith, we're not talking about a particular set of beliefs that are indicative to a certain culture, or religion, or philosophy, age range, or so on and so forth. We're talking about a loss of faith in general. In particular, this week, we are talking about a loss of faith in yourself. We'll be covering other topics in the following weeks, but for those of you who may feel that this is about a particular religion, please know that I tend to take an interfaith and open-hearted approach, rather than looking at one specific set of beliefs in particular, so this is more about the framework of faith, in general. I just wanted to take a moment to honor that, for those of you who may be wondering. Now, if this is the first video that you're seeing in this series, I highly recommend pausing and going back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com to see part one and to get grounded in this topic beginning with our last exercise, which was connecting to nature to heal a loss of faith in general.

Let’s talk about a loss of faith in yourself, though. Maybe something didn't work out. Something that you were manifesting or a goal that you've been working towards, or someone that you were interested in, or a project, the client that you were working on, a customer that you were really looking to convert from prospect that was a big account that you were really looking for – for whatever reason in life and in business, sometimes things don't work out.

If you're having a loss of faith in yourself, your reaction to things not working out is to say, "What's wrong with me?" If that's you, I'm sending you so much love right now. If your first reaction to things not working out is to start beating, beating, beating up yourself, be kind to yourself, if only just for now or as we say in Reiki, "If only just for today, I will be kind to myself, my neighbor and every living being." Rather than beating up on yourself and pointing at only yourself as the reason why things didn't work out, instead, my spirit guides are asking that you embrace this idea of Synergy, this week in particular, to help rebalance the loss of faith in yourself.

It's time for you to embrace your sense of Synergy: to cultivate, to seek out, to research, embody, and bring into your life experience, bring into your business lifestyle a sense of Synergy. Now, when we lose faith in ourselves, we begin to doubt; we doubt that we're worthy, doubt that we're smart enough, good enough, strong enough, [insert blank] enough, and so on, right? However, when we lose faith in ourselves, this can instead be an opportunity to get motivated.

Now, for some of us, the way that we motivate ourselves is through self-punishment. Maybe that's what you learned from your parents, from your teachers, from your friends, from your lovers, from your co-workers, from your bosses. Maybe, over time, that's how you learned to be effective, saying: "Okay. I'm going to beat up on myself better than anybody else can, because otherwise, I'm not going to get anything done." Again, if that is you, we are shining light on the wounds in this series in particular; this light is a light of awareness, a light of love, and a light of healing presence.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Repeat after me:

There is nothing wrong with me.

Again:

There is nothing wrong with me.

Again:

There is nothing wrong with me.

Deep breath in...

Exhale.

Maybe you made a mistake, maybe you didn't know what you didn't know about the situation. But the way we can begin to turn around a loss of faith in yourself, right now, is to be open to Synergy. Now, Synergy means that there is a greater effect, a greater output, a greater amount of work being done because there is a greater agreement and cooperation of multiple parts. To whittle that down: it's time for you to reach out. When you are feeling like you've lost faith in yourself, it's time to bring in someone or something that can help lift you up faith-wise.

How do you regularly feed your faith in feeling confident, or in feeling competent, at least? How do you feed your faith? Is it going to a religious gathering space or whatever your religious faith is, or is it reading personal growth and development books? Is it coming to a meditation class, like here at the Dojo? Is it attending a retreat, like the retreats that I put on every quarter, or is it going back and rereading all of the testimonials that you've received over the years from the clients and companies whose lives you've changed, or is it going back and reading all the love notes that you've received from your lover or from your children? Is it going back and looking through pictures of yourself over the years and remembering all the wonderful things that you've experienced, that you've achieved, and that you've done?

How do you create a sense of Synergy, because here's what happens: when you bring in more “resources”, as one of my brilliant clients calls them, when you bring in more resources of love, positive affirmation, acknowledgement, significance, and all of the good and nourishing input sources about YOU; when you actively remember every time that you've ever been hugged, or kissed, or celebrated, when you bring in those elements, those memories, and those people into your focus, they all become faith-building resources. And those multiple resources then begin to create a faith in you that is bigger than the faith that you could have created on your own.

That is the power of Synergy. I get the chills as I say that to you. Did you catch that? This is the reason why you bring others in. Not because you're dependent upon them, but because the faith that you create when you bring in multiple resources, when you bring in inspirational feminine and inspirational masculine archetypes, when you read biographies of people who've done it, or when you read reports of people saying how much you mean to them or how much you've done for their company or for their organization, that creates a faith in you inside of you that is larger than just your own faith in yourself. Your faith not dependent upon it, but the Synergy of all those parts creates a greater effect and a more stable faith in you, for you.

I'm hearing the Oracle cards calling in the energy for this week. We are continuing the journey with the “Healing with The Angels” Oracle Cards Deck of Doreen Virtue, the very first Oracle Cards deck she's ever made. Angels, what do we need to know right now about restoring faith in ourselves and really engaging synergy this week as an exercise? “Listening.” Yeah. This is so good. Are you listening for all of the wonderful input of those around you from multiple upon multiple resources, resources upon infinite resources of how incredibly powerful, beautiful, loved and valued you are? Here’s the card meaning:

"You are in communication with your angels, and the messages that you are receiving are very real indeed. Trust them. This card is a validation from your angels that you are really hearing them. You have been receiving repetitive messages through your feelings, dreams, visions, inner voice or knowingness. Are you listening and trusting these messages? Are you following them? If you get an inclination to call someone, go somewhere or read something. It's important to follow this guidance." This is just what we were talking about. "By drawing this card, your angels ask you to give all your doubts or worries about divine guidance over to them. Know that you are truly communicating with heaven and enjoy the conversation."

Here's where we're going to leave off for this week. Now that you have watched this video ... By the way, make sure you hit the share button for whoever needs to hear this message right now. Now that you have watched this video, your angels – AKA your intuition, your higher-self, your wise one, your wisdom – is going to begin reaching out to you and saying, "Here are ways to restore faith in yourself, no matter what you've done." Okay? Be on the lookout for that. And be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself first, so that you can move forward with this, but please know that your wisdom is going to begin reaching out to you, and you have got to have ears that listen.

If you are open to receive it, all of the resources that are ready and raring to be part of that synergistic faith in yourself, are going to begin to emerge and get magnetized to you. It's the law of attraction, right? It will be magnetized to you because you are aware of it, and you're calling it in.

If this Love Letter was right on time, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. Comment below. Let me know what's coming up for you hearing all of this, and by the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week. I want you to know I'm sending you so much love, a big hug, and I'll see you next time.

The post Love Letters | Faith in Yourself – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Yay! We made it week four of four in our wonderful discussion and deep dive around being a catalyst for change, and we're taking the path of peace as a catalysts for change.

Now, if this is the first time you're seeing this, as always, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one of four, so that you can begin the healing work that we've been journeying on for several weeks now. Don't skip out on doing the work, get journaling, get journeying within, and sign up for your support group and your support session, whether you're joining the Visionary Shaman Circle or Abundant Business Circle here at victoriawhitfield.com, or if you are seeking healing support with another wonderful beautiful soul - go sign up and set yourself up for success now!

Without further ado, this week in particular we are going to be talking about allowing Positive Discomfort. Positive discomfort as a concept extends out of what we discussed last week: being in the space of the Beautiful No, and embodying the graceful feminine and the graceful masculine. Doing that rather than coming from an immature warrior posture, where you’re trying to fight your way out or cut people down, or even cut yourself apart to be able to carve out healthy boundaries. Be kind to yourself.

Being an empath means you are someone who picks up on ambient emotional energy without any visual, sound or sensory cues. You don't need any sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell cues to be able to understand there's tense emotional energy in the environment.  Now, if for you as an empath, the concept of positive discomfort sounds altogether alien, don't worry, you're not alone. That's why the Guides have us having this conversation, you and I, right now. Our tribe of positive people, our positive empathic community has got to embrace and understand the power of positive discomfort.

What would positive discomfort look like? That would look like allowing inspirational cognitive dissonance and letting that set in on whoever you are communicating with. It’s allowing that, rather than leaping in when someone disagrees with you or leaping in when something is still evolving; when someone's still learning but they haven't quite gotten it yet, or leaping in when someone is being rude or out of line or out of alignment. Instead, it's about creating a space for understanding, accountability, respect, inclusion, and honor of yourself and others.

What can happen often for us as empaths is that we create safe spaces for others and don't include ourselves in that space, and we end up wandering around or, with love, my clients end up wandering around wondering “who's going to hold safe space for me? Who's going to hold safe space for me? I wish people would be able to show me love the way that I do, or advocate for me the way that I do for others.” There's that inner abandoned child within us all, and I’m right there with you - I'm channeling and also speaking to you from experience. There's that inner abandoned child within all of us who had the bad experience, and now as we discussed in a previous week, we are so motivated to create incredible change that we end up endlessly running from that former wound.

At this point where we are at in our conversation, it’s become time that we really start anchoring and allowing for positive discomfort. Better yet, allowing positive disruption. In fact, there are two forms of stress. Maybe you've heard me talk about it before. There's stress where there's the negative type of stress, and then there's “eustress.” You put the 'eu' before the word, eustress, for positive stress. This is when you are so inspired that you're feeling activated in a positive yet stressful situation. Your heart rate will increase. You might start perspiring. Parts of your body might start turning on and preparing for performance.

If it was for a negative influence, you'd have all the same physiological reactions, but because it's coming from a positive influence, it is considered positive stress, positive discomfort, and positive disruption. To bring it all home before we get to the Oracle Cards for the week, how do we tell the difference? Here's how.

Positive discomfort is free from shame. Negative discomfort incurs pain and shame; it is belittling. It is disempowering. Positive discomfort releases shame. It is celebratory, honoring, shines light, respectful, uplifting, inspiring, but when it comes down to it, it specifically does not inflict shame. Now that's a bit of a preview of the next series that we're going to be talking about. The Guides have already come to me and laid out the next few weeks, so stay tuned for continuing on that discussion.

Suffice it to say, for this week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today: allow positive discomfort. Perhaps that'll come through in your marketing. Perhaps that'll come through in the way that you speak to people and honor your boundaries. Perhaps that comes through as you continue practicing your positive and Beautiful No, honoring your boundaries with others. So, let us consult the Crystal Oracle Cards. Guides, please show us what do we need to know right now about positive discomfort. What does that look like? What crystal wisdom do you have for us today? Here goes: Kyanite. Oh, I wish I had a piece of kyanite to show you. I know I have one at home. Kyanite is a gorgeous, gorgeous blue like the ocean, the Caribbean ocean. Kyanite. All right let's read:

“Kyanite represents intuition, ideas, and dreams. Pay attention to your intuition and to your dreams over the coming days, for you are being guided towards deeper spiritual understanding and insight. Through this process, much of which occurs on a subconscious level or in your dream state, a rather ingenious idea will surface that will radically change your views on life, particularly your career. Kyanite will help you ground this idea as you discover ways of practically applying your idea in everyday life and work. However, do not try to force the process. The idea will surface when you least expect it. Simply relax and allow yourself to be open to new possibilities and insights. Know that they already exist within you in an abstract spiritual form.”

Here's where we're going to leave off for this week: When invoking positive discomfort, it's about allowing for natural positive outcomes to occur. There's an assumption of pronoia: meaning, things are happening FOR you, and getting better and better with time. This is the wonderful wisdom that Kyanite as a crystal is bringing us this week in particular: assume that the discomfort that you are sensing serves a positive purpose. I know as an empath you want to jump in and resolve all discomfort. You want everything to be comfortable and everyone to be safe. Understood. That's why you're an amazing leader, and you're an amazing lover as well. Be kind to yourself! Be kind to yourself. The positive discomfort you sense can also serve your people, can also serve you and a greater future.

Remember, as Kyanite is telling us, to assume that things are happening FOR you, and getting better and better with time. That's how you can choose to see this activation, rather than seeing it as disruption or something more intimidating, just see it as positive activation. You can do this. You can allow this. Tell me what's coming up for you because I'm having a little bit of a pushback in the energy as I say this to you. I don't know who that's coming from - maybe you? Send me an email back and info@victoriawhitfield.com or sign up for us to chat about working together at http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact/

Comment below: What comes up for you on allowing people to be activated in your presence? Allowing your marketing to inspire positive discomfort, right, and being that inspirational catalyst for change that you are. I'm excited to hear what you say, and I will see you soon for the continuation of our discussion in the next video series. So, as always, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and I'm sending you all my love. See you soon. Bye!

Just for today...

Choose to stand in your power unapologetically, and to inspire and activate the people around you.

Allow the fear of being seen and the fear of other people’s feelings to flow right through and out of you into the ground beneath you, while you stand tall and shine bright like the beautiful catalyst for positive change you are!

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

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

This is week three of four of our deep dive into being catalysts for change. You are a catalyst for change. You are a healer.

We've been doing some really profound work on clearing the gunk on the inside that may be creating that resistance in you to speaking up for yourself, to changing the course of events around you, to arranging your life and purpose around being a healing presence. I know this is a deep work. For those of you where this is your first video, make sure that you pause and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one so that you can begin this wonderful healing and uncovering process journey that we've been on over the last couple weeks.

This week in particular, the guides have asked us to talk about A Beautiful No. A Beautiful No is not one that’s screaming, "No, I'm not doing it!" or breaking down to the point where desperately you say, "I give up! No. Okay!? No. I can't...” What is that desperate pattern? From my heart to yours, as empaths, we have to get pushed to a certain breaking point in order to say “No” finally. And that needs to stop.

Also, there's the aspect of saying No from a feminine energy versus saying No from a masculine energy. Now, be kind to yourself. Neither is superior. I believe in supporting magnificent women as well as magnificent men. I believe in the power of the feminine and the power of the masculine. The two come together and are Creation, and we appreciate both.

At the same time, we have a lot more practice as empaths, energy-sensitive and heart-centered entrepreneurs with more of a masculine No, which is cutting to the point of saying No. That's been more exemplified perhaps in our early life experiences as children, or perhaps out in our greater society, our role models were predominantly coming from a No as being harsh, or No can even be perceived as mean. There's the warrior behind No. In the masculine, the warrior is gorgeous. The warrior is absolutely gorgeous. We need powerful warrior protectors who are rooted and generative in their energy. Absolutely, absolutely. The warrior is gorgeous.

However, there are more No’s out there than the No at the edge of an emotional sword or an immature, imbalanced masculine No that is mean, cutting, rude, at-the-end-of-its-rope and harsh or lashing out. That's not the type of masculine that we advocate for. Absolutely not. When we're in our graceful masculine, whether you are male or female, when we're in our graceful masculine, the No is rooted. When we're in our graceful feminine, rather than an immature, or imbalanced feminine saying, "Well, no. I can’t because [insert long story here]," being intentionally whine-y, or manipulative, or hot-potatoing of emotion on to other people to coerce them into different things; coming from an immature feminine is not the type of No that we're talking about.

When we have No coming from the graceful feminine, the No is pleasurable. It is in fact just as pleasurable, if not moreso than, the Yes. The No becomes radiant and inspiring. The No is an openhearted expression when we are in our graceful feminine. When we are in our graceful masculine, the No is rooted, calming, and it serves, it generates the energy of Certainty that that No roots in.

So, how many beautiful No’s have you witnessed? Or in fact, how many beautiful No’s as a response have you seen? Repeat after me, “No.” Go ahead, say it beautifully out loud right now: “No.” Or even better, let's sink more into that graceful feminine and/or graceful masculine for a moment... Now try it again aloud: “No.” Again: “No.” How many of those beautiful No’s did you say to yourself just now? Go ahead, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. How many No’s did you say out loud just now, and how did that feel? How many beautiful No’s have you ever witnessed? Have you seen it happen? What would be an example of the most beautiful No that you have ever witnessed, one that was full of grace, and power, and was inspiring, or when it was said, it felt honored and respectful, or edifying to hear such a No?

When you are embracing being a catalyst for change, it can be a beautiful process. It doesn't have to be messy. This one's for those of you who've been doing the series and thinking, "Oh my gosh. If I have to be a catalyst for change, I'm going to turn everything upside down. It’ll be a disaster. I'm going to embarrass myself or I'm going to out a whole bunch of people and cause trouble." That's not necessarily the only way to be a wonderful catalyst for change. In fact, when you’re cultivating your relationship with A Beautiful No, and coming from that grounded, deep, and centered space, you can still be a profound catalyst for change without having to claw at people and cause some trouble or start a fight along the way.

Speaking of being grounded and centered, let's get to our crystals for this week. All right? So, we are exploring the Beautiful No and I'm curious: Crystals, angels, spirit guides, what do we need to know right now about A Beautiful No? ...Yay! Tiger's eye. Look at how pretty it is. You can barely see the color of it on camera. Oh, my goodness! Let's read: “Tiger's eye represents calm, clarity, balanced emotions.” Can't make this stuff up. I'm reading. I'm literally just reading what it says:

“Communication and intuition. If you have been plagued with negative thoughts lately, then tiger's eye crystal will help you rid yourself of unwanted thoughts and help you regain a positive and more inspiring attitude. You will soon begin to see things clearly and realize that there was really nothing to fear in the first place. Calm your thoughts and start to listen to your intuition. Know that all is well, and that only love surrounds you. This card also has to do with communication. You may avoid unnecessary turmoil and problems by communicating clearly with others. Don't be afraid to express your views honestly, and make sure there's no misunderstanding. You will gain respect and admiration for doing so.”

Gosh! I just so happened to have a tiger's eye here at the office. I pulled these stone completely at random – but there’s no such thing as coincidence; Spirit is surely guiding the way. By the way, thank you, Christoph for your gift of the tiger's eye stones I have here. This stone is a feldspar: it means flashes of insight. That's what feldspar is, that where the light travels, like in flashes across the stone.

This is all about mindset and having powerful communication. When you are really embracing A Beautiful No, you exemplify what it means to be a healing presence as a catalyst for change. It doesn't have to be painful, and it doesn't have to be crazy or messy. Instead, it’s about being clear that “No” is a full sentence.

Go ahead. Schedule a chat with me at http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact/ and tell me what comes up for you. Do you need help in connecting with your Beautiful No? Go ahead. Tell me. Type it in the comments below or subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week. I'm excited to see what you say and how you're Beautiful No comes to pass. I'm sending you big hugs, and muah, lots of love. I'll see you next week for our last video!

Just for today...

Practice saying “no” in a beautiful way, with authenticity and out loud.

There’s power in your words, and in hearing yourself speak, so drop into your heart and straighten up your spine as you open up to say “no” with grace and clarity.

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

The post Love Letters | A Beautiful No – Part 3 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week two of four in our conversation around being catalysts for change and we are diving deep in this time.

Be kind to yourself. If you followed last week's video, we brought up the power of the wound in us as we are being healers, and the brilliant wisdom that came from last week's crystal was that there is a pattern of negative thinking within you that can be sublimated into positive inspiration. If you missed that love letter, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com, get caught up, get grounded and get journaling.

Did you do your journaling, by the way? Ding, ding, this is your accountability alarm! I know you may just be watching and reading thinking, "Oh, I love the love letters. Isn’t this nice." ...and not doing any of the work. With love, how are you going to break through without having a new behavior? How are you break through without giving something else a try? I invite you to do the work, dive in and go inward as we talked about last week.

This week in particular, we're continuing the exploration of the wound as what's bringing us out into being healers with the following phrase from my guides for you: Stop running. Stop running! No more running. Here's the thing, when it comes to being an integrated and a grounded healer and leader, there is this sense of rooted-ness, ownership, presence – one of my mentors calls it gravitas – a sense of grace that you have. Others are drawn into that beautiful graceful, loving presence that you radiate, or that wonderful, powerful, protective, visionary presence that you radiate. Because that energy is integrated, people feel safe and are drawn to you. A healing leader iso not running back and forth trying to put on a good show or avoiding responsibility or certain issues, as if that part of the business is “hot lava." Nope!

Be kind to yourself, if you are running from your wound in business. As a Business Reiki Master I have the honor of working with amazing, heart-centered, energy-sensitive and spiritual CEOs, business owners and managers and it's incredible how productive you can be when you are running from a prior wound. Be kind to yourself. If that's you, if you are running from your wound, that may look like hot-potato-ing your past and your problems onto your family, your clients and your team. It comes up as you always being worried that people are going to forget or not do things the right way, or waiting for the other shoe to drop – because we're constantly running from when the shoe dropped before, and ooh, it was a mess when it did.

Or always, always double-checking and helicoptering the team to make sure that they don't make the mistake that you are always looking for. No more running. I want you to take off your running shoes and just sit awhile, right here. Sitting with your fear is incredibly courageous. Sometimes the next level in your business and life comes from standing still. That's a writer-downer.

Be kind to yourself, if you've been motivating yourself by and basing your purpose, your vision, your why on "well, I never wanna see THAT happen again." Whoa, that's a recipe for never being fulfilled and at ease in life! From my heart to yours: I desire for you to be happy and abundant and joyful and restful in your success and enjoyment of your life. May you be fully human and enjoy the journey. And so it is.

We're running from a wound and this week in particular, but sometimes stopping all together and just standing still and being with the pain may be too much. If that’s the case for you, then I’d invite you to get on my calendar at https://victoriawhitfield.com/contact/ because you know this is what I do! I hold healing space for spiritual yet stressed entrepreneurs like you so that you can stop running from your breakthrough. In the meantime, if you're not able time-wise or finance-wise just yet to be able to create space for the two of us to work together, however, then my guides say that instead of running from your wound, run toward it.

Run toward your wound, this week in particular. Choose to instead of running from it – just like if you've ever had one of those running chasing dreams where something's chasing you – choose to stop and turn around and look it in the face. Choose to look it in the face this week. That might mean more journaling. That might be speaking your truth. This is an inner work. I know I'm your Business Reiki Master, and we tend to look at how to create more abundance outwardly, but this is the inner game.

There's an outer game and we cover that in other videos. And this week in particular, it's about owning rather than running from and avoiding that wound that inspires you so much, it has so much power. One of my mentors, he says, "They (those wounds) must love you so much." If you look at what that wound has created, go back and tell it, "Thank you." Not condoning what happened to you, of course not, but instead what you have alchemized because of it – because you are a catalyst for change. You're a healer and it's because of that wound that you have the energy to be such an incredibly brilliant and magnificent light in this lifetime.

Hearing the crystal oracle cards calling in the energy. Crystal Oracle Guidebook, by the way, is by Tony Carmine Salerno, if you wanna go check it out and maybe purchase it on Amazon for yourself. It's so good to be together, isn't it? Together is always better. All right, guides, show us what crystal has wisdom for us around running toward our wounds or, quite frankly: no more running. They said don't shuffle any further. Oh! Australian agates. Such pretty, pretty patterns, deep luscious colors. Let's check it out. I'll read to you. It's my pleasure to read to you:

“Australian agate, it has to do with perception, strength, courage and stamina. Your power of perception along with your mental and physical body is presently being strengthened. This will give you the courage and energy required to tackle what seems at present to be a complex and somewhat insurmountable problem. This problem involves someone that is incompatible with your ideas and principles. You are being urged to stand your ground, yet keep your calm. Don't allow yourself to be psychologically or emotionally bullied. All concerned will soon realize the truth of what you have already known for quite some time, that this particular person is simply not the person who they present themselves to be.”

My guides are saying, wow, that the crystal is really pointing back to Who was involved with the wound that you're running from, even if it's just you. There's a morphed version of ourselves that we start to see over time, no? Be kind to yourself. Releasing that old self-image, releasing that negative self-talk so that you're able to step into the present and really integrate rather than be dominated by your old wound.

This is some deep stuff. I'm curious what's coming up for you? I believe that you are worthy of this level of love, by the way, so go ahead, comment below, send me an email back to let me know what's coming up for you, what came to mind. This week in particular, the guides are asking for us to really shift the way we are perceiving our wound. Instead see it as a source of power, and go back, run toward it, own it.

How will you own your wound this week? If it's speaking up, or signing up with me or another healer to help you own it, this is the time, because you're a catalyst for change. You are changing people and changing lives, whether or not you're aware of it and it's important for you as a healer and a catalyst for change to be well integrated and grounded, well supported yourself.

That's it for this week. I'm sending you big hugs. I hope you felt that hug coming through the energy. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you see these love letters first every week and I'll see you next time. Muah. Share this with who needs it!

Just for today...

Choose to stop and take a good look at what you’re so afraid of at work and why.

Create space, whether in your journal on your own or with me in a private session, to unpack the motivation behind your communication and leadership styles, to set yourself free from being motivated by fear at work.

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...

The post Love Letters | Stop Running – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

I'm really excited to talk to you about this next four-week series on being a Catalyst for Change. Guess who that catalyst for change is? YOU, baby! Let's get to it.

As you know, in every single series we start with why. Why are we catalysts for change? It's so important to know our why, to be clear on what is our purpose, what is our cause, what is our calling. The vision that is pulling us toward our new life, our new level, and keeping us focused on staying open is our Big Why. It's so important to have that motivation behind you, pushing you forward, rather than feeling like you have to really push forward on your own. Let the ocean wave of your Why carry you forward.

Our why is this: creating a world of healing businesses and healing culture. The reason why this month we're going to be talking about you as a Catalyst for Change is because you are a healer. You are not here to mess around. No. You and I, we're here to help heal, and it starts with ourselves. We heal ourselves first. Healing starts with you. Then, as you become stronger and brighter and more radiant over time in your life and business, then you extend the healing out to others.

This week in particular my guides asked me to speak to you about being a catalyst for change in the way that you speak up for yourself, especially. We're going to continue this next week, but ask yourself: what is standing in your way when it comes to speaking up for yourself? Are there certain areas in your life where you are not speaking up? Or you're not telling the whole story, not asking for what you need and what you desire?

And why do you hold back from speaking up? If our purpose is to really create healing businesses and healing corporate cultures – or healing communities, rather – that have that culture of acceptance, that culture of love, that culture of positivity, that culture of faith and positive expectations (by the way, those are the same thing), if that is the reason why we are agents for change, then ask yourself: why am I holding back my voice? Why am I perceiving myself as less than worthy than the next person to speak up?

I'd like for you to meditate on that, and I'm not going to ask you anything else. There's plenty of Why’s to go around for this week in particular! But remember where your alignment is. If you don't take anything else away from this week’s video, remember: your why is you are here as a Healer.

Doesn't matter what your industry is, what your beliefs are, what your background has been, or no matter how “healed” you are or aren’t - you are a Healer. And let’s relax and respect that this is an ongoing, evolving process. I would encourage you to begin considering where it's time for you to speak up. You're an agent of change and we're going to continue this conversation over the next four weeks so that you can open up to being that radiant catalyst for change and healing that you are.

To keep us grounded on our journey together, “The Crystal Oracle” oracle cards are what we're going to be journeying with, this month in particular. Working with crystals, by the way, is really powerful. In the back of my Dojo office space, you can see there is Cosmic Yoni on the altar, made of a wonderful amethyst geode. You know, amethyst is my one of my most favorite crystals! And above the fireplace there is a crystal orb made of fluorite. Amethyst is for calming and used for creating a generally peaceful and relaxed environment. Then fluorite helps to have an organized mind and have consistent action. If you're thinking of getting some crystals I recommend starting there.

For this week in particular, angels, spirit guides, what do we need to know right now about opening up to being an agent of change? Why are we talking about this now? ...This crystal is what's coming forward, Stichtite in Serpentine, and look at this gorgeous coloring. Alright. I'm gonna read to you about the properties of Stichtite so we can see what wisdom it has for us:

“Meditation, clearing your energy centers, detoxifying your thoughts. Fear and negative thoughts are preventing you from experiencing peace and joy in your life. They are blocking your creativity and as a consequence your life seems dull and dreary. You can change this situation by consciously choosing to love and trust the universe instead of fearing it. Sit quietly in meditation and invoke the healing power of love, imagining yourself bathed in beautiful healing energies. Visualize all the colors of the rainbow swirling within and around you. Feel these beautiful healing colors flowing through your mind and heart and imagine your thoughts being infused with eternal light. Practice this each day as it will help transform you negative and fearful thoughts to positive inspirations. There is nothing to fear, you are eternally surrounded by love.”

This stone, in particular, is coming forward to really help us begin to understand why we are here and to have the courage to come forward as catalysts for change. It all starts in the quiet and with the nourishment of your own self first. So, specifically, the reading talked about meditation and that alchemy of our negative thoughts, turning them – or moreover sublimating them – into positive inspiration.

This is where we're going to leave off for the week. There have been things that are on your heart and mind that have been weighing on you for quite some time. I'm speaking from my heart, one soul sister to my soul brothers and sisters watching and reading this right now. There's something that's been weighing on your heart, keeping you down for quite some time now, and that very thing is ground zero of your change. That you're here to catalyze; what you're here to heal.

What wound are you here to heal?

Go ahead, type that in the comments below, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com, and share your story. This is a time for a journeying inward and really owning your wounds as sources of inspiration.

I'm here for you. Schedule a chat with me at http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact if you need support unearthing, processing and catalyzing your wound into healing.

I'm excited to see what we're going to create together over the next four weeks and I'll see you in the next one. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so you get these first every week, and I'll see you then. Bye for now!

--

Just for today...

Decide that today’s the day you’re finally going to speak up about it.

Be the healer of your organization, family, friend group and speak up about what has been weighing on your heart for some time and needs to change, for the highest good of all involved.

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

The post Love Letters | Catalyst for Change – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week four of four of our discussion of having a vortex-based business: your role in your career, your role as the owner of your company, or the leader of your department, is to get and stay in the vortex.

We've been talking about exactly how to make that happen. If you're not knowing what a vortex is still, and you're seeing this for the first time, make sure you stop right now, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from part one, where we describe everything in-depth. Because this is week four of four, and this is for the ninjas only.

Now, buckle your seatbelts, because this is for my vortex ninjas who think week one was great, week two was okay, and week three all right, playing that game. You’re happy to play that game. It's fun. But this week is for the ninjas out there who are thinking, "All right. What's next? How can we take this even higher!?” That is, you’re thinking this if you're applying what you've learned last week. 😉

So let’s turn up the volume! This week we're going to be talking about sustainability in your vortex by using automation. Automate your vortex. May you be surrounded by love bombs and love robots at all times and in all ways during your work day and in your business lifestyle, living an abundant and fabulous life. May you be constantly surrounded, supported, and filled with love in all that you do. And this is how that we get that going in a sustainable way.

Last week you began playing the game, but the limitation on playing the right game in business the way that we discussed last week is that it's dependent on YOU looking. Even the audit is dependent on you looking. What if we could automate it? OMG! This is so juicy, I know it's changed my life and my vibration, automating my vortex. I’m so excited to share this with you

My own mentor has said from the stage, in front of thousands of people, she pointed right at me and said, "This one knows exactly how to stay in the vortex. She's always in the vortex." I'm sitting there, like, "Oh my God. I'm being pointed at." LOL! But she's right, actually. Yeah. It's true. Sometimes we go above, sometimes we go below, but we're always staying in alignment here at the dojo. Why? Because there's so many elements and so many systems supporting that. I know I've got some systems engineers watching right now who are drooling like, "Take me to the automation, Victoria!!" If that's you, then this is so for you.

Ok, how can we automate your vortex? Well, if you were playing the right game last week, you started noticing how we can start “raising the roof” on your vibration. And if you're organized, you were tracking that. You want to get to the point where you have at least 50 ways to raise the roof, raise the vibration, get into a peak state, and so on in your business, in your career, or in your workspace, for example. This week in particular, you'll want to take those 50 ways and apply it to what we're talking about right now in terms of automation.

There are ways that we can make this letterhead even juicier if it was printed on a heavier weight linen paper, or if we had the gold foil for the printing of that line, just that pop of shine, you know? It about what turns you on. Or, maybe, you've noticed that it would raise the roof a little bit for you to have freshly cut flowers, even if it's frigging flowers from right outside or from the local park (as long as it's legal for you to take some of them) or ones from the local market with you. Or maybe it's always having a candle lit, or wearing your favorite fragrance while you're at work, or your power piece bit of jewelry so that you feel in the vortex, turned on and inspired.

For me, I know that on my right ring finger, I've got to have a ring, because that helps me focus. That's one simple way I've automated MY vortex. I have so many rings, but you'll see in the different videos that I'm doing each week and on social media that there's always a ring on this right ring finger. This is my right finger, everyone, and for me, this is to keep me creative. For me, it feels much more balanced in my body in particular. Now, I've studied how I feel, and that's gone on that “raise the roof” list, and I've automated that.

Other ways that you can automate – I'll just share a few more with how I've automated my vortex in my business. Up-level your voicemail message: I have clients of mine that just call to listen to my voicemail. I raised the roof on the vortex sensation and feeling of my voicemail so that anyone who hears it, if they're going to leave me a voicemail, they're going to be dropped into their heart and feel so yummy before they get to leave me a voicemail. Or how all of my team is officially trained to address anyone who is female in gender as "Goddess [insert their name]" and anyone who is male in their gender, "Sir [insert their name]." I know it sounds formal and silly, and it's supposed to sound formal and silly. I get calls and texts and emails all the time from my clients who are saying, "That made my day. I had someone calling me or emailing me, saying, 'Excuse me, Goddess Jacqueline, I’m calling for Sensei Victoria Whitfield... Excuse me, Goddess Jennifer, could you please ...” -- Why, yes I could! LOL!

How would you raise the roof on your experience of being at work? How many businesses invest in customer experience first before they invest in their employee experience? In fact, as a solopreneur, it's even more important for YOU, in particular, to pay attention to how you feel. Because the more you can automate surrounding yourself with fun, playfulness, love bombs, faith-filled quotes or uplifting experiences in your work life, the more it increases your abilities to sustain high performance. That means increasing your ability to sustain higher profits more and more with time because you're juiced by what you're doing. It keeps you open, keeps you lifted and feeling fulfilled as you continue to serve through your mission-driven business. Automate it, baby!

What are you going to automate? Are you going to change your email signature? Take my business cards, for example, the image on it: every time I see it, it puts me in the vortex. It's me on the beach, the first day I ever started my business. Just so happened to be an amazing picture that this fisherman on the beach took. Everyone who looks at my business card, every time they see it, they exhale and luxuriate, saying, "Ohhh my God. I love the beach! I want that. Tell me what you do?" When they have that reaction, I know we have a resonance. That's automated! Automate your vortex. This kind of stuff is what makes it sustainable.

My heart goes out to those of our tribe – and this is where we're going to go now to the oracle cards – who go to the Abraham Hicks events or listen to her recordings and who are like, "I got to get into the vortex. I got to get into the vortex." I feel for you, falling in and out and in and out. So listen up. Here's why you think you need to get into the vortex: It's because you haven't automated it yet! You haven't looked for, like we did last week, all those triggers that raise the roof on your vibration. You haven't then taken those triggers and put them into recurring processes. You can use technology, you can use your behavioral patterns, training, branding, décor – talk about walking into the vortex, my dojo office makes me so happy. But you’ve got to value how you feel to put all that in motion.

Just for this week, or as we say in reiki, just for today, automate your vortex.

Let's get to the oracle cards: angels of abundance. All righty. “What do we need to know right now about automating our vortex, about vortex automation?” Oh, that sounds like a course. Hey! The angels were listening. As I said that, "Quiet Retreat" popped out. This is amazing. By the airing of this video, we would have already been on the abundance mindset makeover retreat. Let me read this first, before I explain why this is amazing. It says: "It's time to disconnect from the outer world so that you can discern and process your true thoughts and feelings from your inner world. Create this quiet time for yourself and you'll have more clarity about what to do next."

I sincerely believe that every visionary, every creative, every high-achiever in business – especially if you're a solopreneur or have a small team – that you have got to create regular, strategic quite time. Or, as I call it: strategic spa retreats. This is the quiet retreat the angels are talking about. What happens is when you're unplugged from working IN your business, you're able to then work ON the business. You can make those quantum leaps, because you gave yourself enough quiet retreat from the execution to see, "Oh. THERE’S the bigger picture. If we were just working on the little stuff going in this direction, we'll only get so far. But if we just move it a little bit over here, we’ll make a quantum leap."

That's why in my visionary shaman circle we have two-day strategic spa retreats once a quarter, where you have 48 hours unplugged from technology, from your business, from your clients, and so on so that you can plug back into Source and your divine inspiration, your alignment, your next level vision. It comes to you in that quiet space.

For me in my business, I also go for strategic spa day retreats for myself personally every month. I also have strategic spa treatments every week so that I'm constantly unplugging and going to into a deep sensory experience, so that I can go within and listen at a higher level, and receive that next level vision. If you get your best ideas in the shower, that is the micro-version of what I'm talking about. Upgrade to a retreat. Our next one at the filming of this video is December 10th and 11th, the winter rebirth retreat. Go ahead to www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact to let me know if you're interested. I’d be happy to see you and welcome you there.

Again, family, automate it! And if you join my visionary shaman circle membership program, all those retreats are already on your calendar as part of the program. We are your wellness department if you are a solopreneur or if you are a small business, my team and tribe become your wellness department and your strategic planning department all rolled up into one – not to mention you can write it off as a business write-off. Reach out at info@victoriawhitfield.com if you'd like to know more. Or comment below about what comes up for you hearing all of that.

That's it for this series! Wow, what a powerful conversation we've had over the last four weeks on getting and staying in the vortex in business.
