Waiting for the right moment to present itself?

Wondering when you should make that move you've been thinking of for some time now?

Want to go for your goal, but don't know if you're ready yet?

Source says you have permission to proceed this week!

But there's more to moving forward with your plans than you think.

Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter video to better understand how to get going on that new opportunity the Universe is sending you!

"When do I tell them that I care about them?"

This week, Source wants to let you know, that you have permission to proceed.

You've got it. You ready? Incoming permission slip, right through the screen to you right now. You have permission to proceed.

The Guides are saying that it's been a long time coming, that you've been wondering:

• • "When do I get to know if I'm ready yet?"

• • "When do I get to know if this is the right time for me to move forward with that vision that I've been having?"

• • "When do I move forward with the goals that I've been setting for myself?"

• • "When do I start that new cleanse program or exercise program?"

• • "When do I tell them that I care about them, and express my feelings?"

• • "When do I buy into that program or treatment package that I have been thinking about?"

• "When do I set up that vacation, or a conference ticket? When do I book my flight?"

You have permission to proceed. This is what the Guides want to transmit to you, in particular today.

We want to be specific: you have permission to proceed for yourself. This has to do with only you.

Make sure to temper a bit of that enthusiasm you're getting: "All right, yes, I can change him." No, no, no! That is not what we're talking about.

The Energy says though YOU have permission to proceed.

If you're feeling like you've been holding back a compulsion whether or not you should give that suggestion to that person or give them that constructive criticism feedback, etc. Source says, you can only proceed forward if you get their explicit permission.

If you have a push to really want to tell someone, "You need to do this" or "You need to do this better," the reason why you have that push, is because that advice is for you.

The reason why that's happening is because that is meant for you to heal your life. People are sacred mirrors of your own spiritual energy.

Have you asked yourself why you're so worried about the suggestion that you're trying to give that other person? Are you really living it yourself yet?

Know this: Worry will die when you increase your faith. Go for it this week and trust yourself! @SenseiWhitfield

This message is especially to those of you who are friends, spouses coaches, mentors, managers; it's for those in an authority role who are reading right now, who give incredible, insightful, awesome advice, that can sometimes be given unwarranted. Be kind to yourself if that's you.

It's time that you step out first in that direction rather than just tossing your advice or your suggestions on someone without getting that person's permission first.

You have permission to proceed forward with the advice that you desire to give. Go ahead and implement it.

For the rest of us who are not necessarily about giving advice, this message is different because it pertains to a new goal or initiative that you've been working on; yes, you're worthy, you're okay, move forward.

The Guides are telling me now to pull from the Oracle Cards deck. "Angel Answers" is a yes-no deck, one of many donated decks here at the Dojo.

(You can always send donations to The Dojo by emailing me at senseivictoriawhitefield@gmail.com if you would like to donate an oracle card  deck that you just don't really use anymore.)

Angels, what do we really need to know right now about permission to proceed? This feels strong. "No Need to Worry;" this is so big.

This basically hits the nail on the head and this is why we're going to leave off.

The reason why we need permission to proceed is because we're worrying ourselves into a tizzy.

It's okay. You can go forward, let go of worry. Worry only happens when you are trying to control something that is outside of your energy. Trust your gut.

Worry will die when you increase your faith. If only just for now, believe that there's no need to worry.

Let it go, and take a step of faith forward in the direction of whatever Source is guiding you towards.

I'm curious to hear what's coming for you hearing this week's message. If it spoke to you, let me know. I love feedback.

Are you naturally sensitive or intuitive, picking up on energies that most people miss completely?

And does your natural sensitivity to energy sometimes get the best of you, causing you to feel drained and confused?

Wish you could embrace your sensitivity as the powerful gift that it is, rather than it constantly backfiring because you don't know what you don't know about your gifts?

Then this 8-week online course is for you!

Regular $197 ON SALE NOW at 50% OFF for JUST $97!

Understanding Energy is an online, self-paced 8-week companion program to Sensei Victoria Whitfield's book Natural Intuition Now: Book One - Uplevel Your Life by Awakening Your Innate Spiritual Senses. This course is meant for those who want more structured practice and guidance on how to awaken and embrace their spiritual body.

Chances are, you're reading this right now because you know you're naturally sensitive and energetic -- some call it being "spiritual but not religious" or "open-minded" or "new age-y" -- and that's all well and good, and even kind of cool sometimes. However, you're quite aware of the downside to being sensitive to energy: the overwhelm, feeling like an outsider or "weird", and the seemingly endless "spiritual healing" and self-exploration you have to do.

It can get pretty exhausting and confusing. Your mind may race with questions like: "Which meditation should I do? What exactly is an aura? Am I making this stuff up or am I actually experiencing this? How do I protect myself from all the negative energy out there? Should I just avoid people altogether? Should I see a 'healer' or not? Why is this happening to me?" and so on.

Struggling to keep up with the new-age trends you've gone to the yoga classes, bought the oils, drank the green juice, said the mantras, seen the spiritual healers and psychic seers, got the certifications, listened to the youtube meditations, read the self-help books, and gone to the conferences.

And yet, somehow, you still end up feeling confused and blocked. 

You may feel like you've been going in circles, repeating the same lessons over and over.

Or worse yet, maybe you've come to believe that you can't move forward -- because you're not good enough, powerful enough, smart enough, rich enough, pretty enough, tough enough, popular enough, etc. ... as if you're destined to fail because, well, you never win at anything anyway...

Woah, there.

Be kind to yourself.

It's time for you to take charge of the situation and turn this ship around.

The way to start making that happen is by deepening your spiritual practice, which entails: shifting your mindset through studying energetic foundational principles, and making the principles real by putting them in to a regular spiritual practice.

And this course was designed fully support you in doing exactly that. 

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

• 4 1-hour in-depth recorded private lessons with Sensei Victoria Whitfield, delivered via biweekly emails, on the following topics (Value: $800):
  • Energy Anatomy, Mindset, Grounding, Meditation, Psychic Self Defense, Empathic Mastery, Angel Energy, and more

The post Monthly Livestream: Space Clearing Meditation Class appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Hearing about Reiki more and more these days, and still left wondering just what is it exactly?

Curious if Reiki is right for you or not?

Are you a Reiki practitioner that's struggling to describe Reiki to others, changing it every time?

Reiki is powerful and deeply meaningful to those who experience it firsthand, and most people recommend trying it above having to explain exactly what it is, shying away because they don't have the words to convey it clearly.

However, it's essential to have a clear definition of Reiki, and what it is not, because clarity itself is healing. When we as Reiki channels are unclear in communicating what Reiki is, it affects our ability to maintain the healthy state of flow, balance and centeredness that supports the best health of our clients and students.

Watch the above video to enter the discussion around "what is Reiki?" and to find out exactly how to answer that question with confidence and clarity!

OVERVIEW: What is Reiki?

Reiki is a system of Japanese techniques for stress reduction and relaxation. It is an internal alternative healing art for the cultivation and management of health and energy, similar to qigong and pranayama. The word "Reiki" in Japanese translates as "universal life-force energy."

There are million and one ways to describe Reiki

to someone who's never heard of it.

"Reiki is a form of natural energy healing or 'energywork'."

"Reiki is a spiritual healing art; it feels like an emotional and spiritual massage."

"Reiki is 'universal life force energy' that promotes healing in the body."

And still more versions. "Reiki is a form of 'palm healing' through the 'laying on of hands' and it is neither massage, prayer, yoga nor meditation." Or "Reiki is like qigong or pranayama. It's an ancient form of alternative healing rediscovered in Japan by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui in 1922 and he taught that zzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

And after you say all that to the person who just asked you a "simple question," the person looks at you like:

That awkward moment when they don't know Reiki/energy/newagey jargon...

Yeah. ...LOL!!

I've had the pleasure of this awkward moment quite a bit over the years! I've been asked the "what is Reiki?" question hundreds of times, from people of all walks of life who I meet at the fairs, festivals, seminars, speeches and classes I do.

This awkwardness is tough for both sides: I as the Reiki "Master" am garbled and confused, reaching for words to convey the value and power of Reiki to change someone's life, and the person listening is confused and straining to make sense of something completely new that their intuition is pulling them to faster than they can figure out what the heck it is.

So, to avoid this awkward feeling, most energyworkers--myself included--often choose to avoid a definition, and instead go for a demonstration. But awkward moments are signals for imminent healing.

To my energy people: look, I get it. You don't want to look stupid or unknowledgeable, so to avoid the rough spots and go with the path of least resistance, and either avoid defining what it is you do altogether, or you throw spaghetti on the wall and hope it will stick without regard to the other person because you "know" what you do, right?

Well... when you sidestep taking a good look at this issue, you miss out on gaining clarity for yourself. And clarity is healing.

You see, underneath this question of "what is Reiki?" and our struggle with answering it is this: a Throat Chakra imbalance.

Allowing awkward conversations shows that you have the courage to clear and balance any Throat Chakra issues you have.

Throat Chakra issues include: issues with communication, listening and self-expression. When it's depleted, the symptoms are fear of speaking up and expression oneself for fear of criticism, rejection or "sticking out", and when it's excessive, the symptoms are talking to hear yourself talk but not listening, or talking for fear of silence or fear of unworthiness.

Defining what you do and communicating it clearly is a key step in your soul's evolution as an energyworker and lightworker in this lifetime, whether you do Reiki or something else as your healing modality (entrepreneurship, parenting, art, teaching, etc.).

And when you find your light and shine it clear and bright, you give others permission to do the same.

Consider how on the other side of the fence, it is very healing for the person seeking clarification to witness someone being clear and grounded. This, therefore, is exactly why speaking in and of itself if a form of healing energywork.

Know this: Clarity is the biggest challenge for energyworkers and lightworkers. Accept and rise to it. #reiki #throatchakra #communication

Remember: you do not have to be perfect, all you have to ever be is Honest.

Now, I notice that this article has ended up being more for the developing energy and lightwork practitioners, but what about the rest of us that don't know what the heck Reiki is? Are you going to tell us yet, Victoria??

Sure. Here goes:

Reiki is a system of techniques for stress reduction and relaxation. It comes from Japan.

Bam. There you have it! Fifteen words and done.

But what about all the other spiritual, intuitive, juicy stuff that Reiki is? And is it right for me?

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows you how to tell if Reiki is right for you and why!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

Embrace exploring a similar clarity or "existential question" challenge (like "what is Reiki?") in your life, such as defining "what is health" or "what is happiness" for you.

Grab one sheet of paper and brainstorm an answer for a few lines. Then see if you can whittle it down to a definition that fits on one line or less.

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

Wish you could remember your dreams?

Ever wondered what it would be like to lucid dream, or to finally understand that recurring dream or nightmare you had?

Want to get advice from your dreams, but don't know where to start?

Dreams are powerful guides to life; they hold the key to the infinite power of your Subconscious Mind.

In fact, in Shamanic spiritual traditions, dreams are regarded as the true reality, while this waking life is the real "dream."

Watch the above video to to get started remembering and interpreting your dreams!

"I can barely remember I had this dream, and I'm not sure what it means..."

I hear this a lot during Sacred Space Sessions here at The Dojo.

As naturally intuitive and creative people, we all have vivid dreams from time to time that we "just know" have some sort of spiritual meaning or message.

Some of us have even had dreams that we found out later on were premonitions.

And still more of us don't dream at all these days, although we used to as children.

So what are dreams exactly; what purpose do they serve?

Dreams are natural energywork, through communication with Source energy.

As natural energywork, dreams serve a twofold purpose: to balance and clear our subtle (mental, emotional, spiritual) energies, and to open the lines to higher communication (with our community, our higher selves, and with Source).

What basically happens each time you sleep is that your body performs her nightly energywork on you to open your energy up to balance and Source.

She does this by shifting your brainwaves from Gamma/Beta (tight, fast and sharp waves; you are in a state of being focused and attentive) all the way down to Theta/Delta (long, slow and smooth waves; you are in a state of being creative and restorative).

It's difficult to be open to receiving energy from Nature / Source -- such as the energies of guidance and healing -- when your body is emitting very tight, sharp waves.

Therefore sleep naturally relaxes and balances your energy waves to be more open and receptive.

Dreams, however, are the next level of this energywork, because they happen only when you are "seeing" this energetic balancing happening firsthand -- well, only part of you can "see" it, and that part is the Subconscious Mind.

Your Subconscious Mind speaks in the language of images, colors and feelings (intuitive and emotional), and comprises 90% of your actual Self (your consciousness, your energy, your essence).

Since your Subconscious Mind is capable of picking up on or detecting spiritual guidance and subtle energy coming from Source, she organizes it all into her language and then relays it to your Conscious Mind -- in the form of dreams.

So your dreams are actually windows into your soul and it's connection to Spirit.

Therefore, learning to remember, interact with and interpret your dreams can be quite enlightening.

Now, there are online dream dictionaries, like dreammoods.com for example, that offer interpretations; however we must remember that these interpretations are based on the writer's own personal perception and spiritual path, not our own.

Know this: Dreams speak the language of YOUR Spirit. Are you listening? #dreamwork #healing

That being said, it is best to record your dreams and ask your spirit guides, or spiritual mentors and intuitive advisers, what your dreams mean for YOU, instead of basing your interpretation solely on what is online or in a book.

There are some general dream tropes that are universal -- clothes represent how you present yourself to the world, cars represent drive and personal agency, fighting represents repressed anger, chasing represents unexpressed anxiety, and so on.

But all the interpretations in the world won't help you, if you can't remember your own dreams! 🙂

Learning to recall the images, events and details of your dreams is a skill that can be quite easily cultivated with regular practice.

You need to build momentum recalling your dreams over time, and as you do that, you're actually "working out the muscles" of your intuition as well! #bonus

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which explains why now is a good time for you to start doing dreamwork!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Do you feel like you're falling apart?

Worried that something is "off" or that you're in a "funk" these days?

Struggling to get work or attract new customers and clients?

There's nothing wrong with you - you just need to show yourself More Love.

One way you can shift your energy back into flow and alignment is by re-committing to taking care of yourself, first.

Watch the above video to learn how to tell if you have let yourself go, and what you can do about it.

Lack of self-care.

This week's topic presents us a hidden cause behind a lack of abundance in our lives.

Feeling like you're coming apart at the seams is a symptom of a greater issue, and that is lack of self-care, which is how your demonstrate that you love yourself, to yourself.

When we drop our self-care routine, or don't even have one to begin with, we self-sabotage ourselves energetically; Spirit sees this as us turning down or even discouraging the flow of abundance.

Here's the thing: in order to receive abundance of anything - love, money, customers, health - we need to be a good container for it.

For example, if you try to pour tea into a cracked cup, it can only take so much water before it breaks open and causes a mess.

The cup couldn't handle the tea, so it broke.

Now, what if you were the cup and the universe was trying to fill you - with love, abundance, a better home or job?

What I mean is, can you honestly say that you're being a good container for abundance - as in, would you be able to handle making $2 million dollars a year, or can you only handle $30 or $50,000?

Know this: It's ok to be honest - you don't have to be perfect; all you have to be is honest. #MLMM

But the point is to notice if you are just remaining comfortable as a cracked and broken container, or making sure you are in a constant state of repair, expansion and improvement.

It all comes down to this: if you want more money for yourself, you need to show yourself more love in the form of self-care.

What does that mean?

Self-care means that you invest in yourself - and that doesn't necessarily mean with dollars and cents. In fact, the very first and most crucial way that you can invest in yourself is with your TIME - using it consciously, and honoring your own boundaries.

Watch this week’s video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows exactly how to get started with your self-care!

In Love and Light,

The post Love Letters | Have You Let Yourself Go? #MLMM appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Awww... The holidays are the times when we come together as friends and family and do two things:

• Stuff ourselves sick with sugary, fatty and greasy food.
• Whine and get into fights because now's our chance!

Right? EW! I wish I could be warm and fuzzy, but for some of us the holidays and celebration gatherings of any kind are a hot mess.

Let's face the problem head on, rather than just dreading and building up our anxiety and blood pressure leading up to the event - or even using drinking more wine or stuffing with more food or watching a TV or whatever to distract us during the party.

Gatherings are powerful energywork, and when used correctly, you can exponentially increase your vibration and even increase your manifestation techniques. But that has to be on the agenda in order for that to happen!

In the previous post, I gave 7 Strategies for Not Getting Stuffed at Holiday Gatherings. This post will continue the healing process by showing you other awesome things you can do that do NOT involve stuffing yourself, but DO involve experiencing more love and more connection. Group hug!

And that's what we really want during the holidays, right?

So here goes:

1. Looking through photo albums and telling the stories of each picture. (Can also be showing cellphone pictures, but only if you know how to put the phone down and pay attention to people!)
2. Writing "Thank You" or "Happy Holidays" cards to your list of people that you are grateful for as a group and having a "card party."

11. Watch your favorite comedy movie (skip the food or alcohol or sugary drinks and have Tea instead. pretend you're british!)
12. Pick a charity to donate to like Heifer International or The Unstoppable Foundation
13. Rather than going around the table and saying what you are thankful for, go around the table and have Rampages of Appreciation for each other (and loved ones who are more than alive) where you say what you love about each person there
14. Have everyone tell stories about your ancestors' accomplishments and the stories of your family's heritage
15. Do a group verbal vision board and brainstorm, going around the room saying "wouldn't it be cool if we did..." and then the next person builds on that saying "yeah and wouldn't it be even better if we did..."
16. Go around the group and say what's your New Year's Resolution or a big goal you're working toward

The post 27 Non-Food Love and Bliss Raising Activities for Holiday Gatherings appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, the 4th of July, an office party, or Mother's or Father's Day - most of our celebrations these days are food-focused.

In a previous article I explained how we associate food with love and that is why we tend to stuff ourselves, especially at Thanksgiving.

However Spirit spoke to me this morning and said that it's not just love, but we also associate food with appreciation and celebration. Any holiday or celebration therefore is a severe trigger for those of us who struggle with Emotional Eating and Emotional Stuffing Behaviors. So what on earth do we do about this?

I had a few downloads today about how to heal our relationship with food during Celebrations and Holiday Gatherings. Some of them may surprise you, others may seem pedestrian.

Either way, I encourage you to TRY THEM OUT (at least 3) this Thursday for Thanksgiving, and let me know how it goes for you.

It's all about making sure you're not the stuffed turkey at Thanksgiving this year!

I myself will be attempting to engage in all 7, and I'll let you know what happened for me. Usually I stuff myself sick during the holidays to show I am present and participating, but this time, I personally want to be present to myself and my health WHILE participating with experiencing Love with family and friends.

So here they are:

1. Reframe The Meaning of Cravings. We stuff ourselves during holidays and celebrations because we conflate eating food or drinking with Love. Guess what? There's more ways to give, receive and experience love than stuffing yourself. When you next feel the urge to eat more, reframe that urge as a need to experience more Love in that moment - which means, challenge yourself to hug someone, express appreciation, donate something, be affectionate, give a gift, do a random act of kindness or service, tell someone how much they mean to you, pat the cat or the dog, go outside and just appreciate nature for 10 minutes with someone or call someone up to say you were thinking of them.
2. Tupperware. We overeat during holiday celebrations because our eyes are bigger than our stomach, and portions go crazy. Bring a no more than 3 cup / 24 oz / 710 ml tupperware to the party and make it your goal to eat only what will fit in that tupperware and it can close. That way you know exactly how much will be going inside you.
3. Hijack Your Smell & Salivation Response. We often overeat during the holidays because things smell so good. Bring non-food and non-appetizing things to smell to combat cravings and overeating, such the following oil or candles to sniff: lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, roses, lilies, jasmine, gardenia, or even vick's vapor rub!
4. Managing Seconds, Thirds, and so on. We overeat because it's socially acceptable to keep going back for more food. So to make sure you can have more of something that tasted good but just at a later time, bring extra tupperware containers to put your seconds and thirds to take home later and put them in the FREEZER during your stay, AND into your own freezer when you get home.
5. Conscious Display. We overeat because we see the buffet open and easy to access. So, cover up foods with opaque (not see through) covers when not in use. Out of sight, out of mind!
6. Taste & Pleasure Binge. We overeat because everything just tasted so good and we just want to repeat the sensual pleasure of it. To counteract this, do an ACV Bomb! Drop a shot of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar into a tall glass of water and drink it down. It's great for digestion and can shut down cravings! Or, if it's really bad, just take an ACV shot straight. You may scream, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! 🙂
7. Plan Out the Event Activities. We often overeat because the only thing to do is eat at a party. How BORING! So instead, have a set time where you and your family / guests move away from the dinner table to engage in non-food, non-drink, and non-eating activities that raise your love vibration higher and higher. And when you raise your vibration, you attract more positive things into your life!
