Are you putting off living life unapologetically?

Do you believe others can pursue their passions and dreams now, but not you?

Feel like you'll have permission to be yourself "later" - like when you get the perfect job, spouse, baby, retirement, body, etc.?

Most sensitive entrepreneurs put off living life fully and openly for fear of criticism, shaming and judgement.

And these low-vibrational feelings distract us empathically from the reasons why we must show up in life and business unapologetically, now.

Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter, the first installment in our 5-week series, to remember why you must live your life unapologetically.

"Welcome to a brand new you!"

This is a brand new five-week deep dive series that we're going to be doing on the topic of living an unapologetic life. Every year, I pick a word that is the theme for the year for me personally. Last year, my theme was Supported; how I want to feel. This year in particular, Unapologetic Ease is actually the full intention and sensation that I'm going for this year in particular. My guide said, “Let's start off the year bringing in the entire tribe around what it looks like and what's at stake behind living life unapologetically.”

As you know, by now, when we do these multi-week deep dive series, it's so that you and I can have time to really get into the nuts and bolts of these topics. Also, we always begin with why. We start with why because we're conjuring energy, we're conjuring attention and focus around this new learning topic. If you're looking to start new projects and generate energy, you start with why. There are other reasons for you to start with why, such as: getting clear on what you're passionate about, clarifying focus and reeling in, honing in energy not just of your own but also of your team around you. So starting with why rocks!

This week, let's look at why you should live life unapologetically. Here's the thing: When we live life apologetically, we go throughout our days and go throughout our businesses, our meetings, our relationships, even the thoughts that we think in our heads going round and around thinking, “I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,” or, “This is a really sorry circumstance,” or the wah-wah kind of energy is what follows us around when we live life apologetically. Even when we're trying to get to our seat in the movie theater, we say repeatedly:“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” Is this you? Is that just your automatic thing to say, "I'm sorry", when someone calls on you or when you have a question or when you call someone up or think … Is that the way that you meet the world, as "I'm sorry?"

If the way that you are meeting the world is leading with I'm sorry, then you are automatically blocking all the love, all the abundance, the support and healing that Source is pouring on you. Write this down: Saying I'm sorry means don't support me, I'm bad. Saying I'm sorry means don't support me because I'm bad.

Know this: Constantly saying I'm sorry blocks #abundance; the universe hears it as "don't support me because I'm wrong." @SenseiWhitfield

You should not be full of shame in the way that you meet the world. The reason why we want to live life unapologetically is so that you have all the energy that you need to meet life confidently and full of joy, full of radiance. We need your light.

Healers, you've got to meet the world unapologetically because you have a powerful, powerful purpose, and we need you now more than ever. Entrepreneurs, you're here to solve problems. You're a problem solver. You've seen an issue and you're like, “Oh, I have a solution.” We need you to come to life unapologetically because there's plenty of problems out there that if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have the solution for.

It's time for you to come out of your shell and step into life unapologetically. Why? Because we need YOU.

Now, also, be kind to yourself if you think that you should stave off living life unapologetically until retirement or on, “When I get married, I'll be unapologetic about myself. That's when I can let myself go.” By the way, it’s not how that works, or, “Maybe when I get that big client, I can finally book a massage because I don't deserve self-care until I make a certain amount of money.” No. Oh my goodness. Be kind to yourself if you're pushing off living life unapologetically. "I'm not going to travel the world until I’ve retired at 67 or 72 or whenever the years are when I'm too tired to really be going around the world, yeah, that's when I'll live life unapologetically." Or "I’ll wait until I'm older to be taken seriously because I'm a female or I'm a young man or whatever, and that means because I'm young or because I'm female, that means you can't really take me seriously."

Stop apologizing. Why are you living life unapologetically? You have a purpose now. You can live life like you mean it. You can live life like you own it now, and we need you now. We needed you, as they say in New York. We needed you yesterday. Let's make a commitment this week in particular to invoke this concept of living life unapologetically. For the next five weeks, we're going to dive deep into it. Are you ready?

Accompanying us on our journey into living life unapologetically is the oracle cards deck Daily Guidance From Your Angels by Doreen Virtue, one of the many oracle cards decks. You can send in your donation deck to the dojo. Go ahead to naturalintuition.com and look for the Contact page, my mailing address is there. Thank you to all my loves who sent in donation decks. It's amazing. You should see how many people have been benefiting from your generosity. I’ll try to post more pictures. I'm not going to apologize though. Yes, yes. Okay. Angels, what do we need to know this week in particular about why we need to live life unapologetically? Oh, that felt strong.

Perfect Timing.

Perfect Timing: Now is the perfect moment for you to act on your inspirations. The doors are open while you walk through them with us by your side. Don't delay or procrastinate as all of the ingredients are ripe for your success. Everything and everyone is on your side supporting your positive outcome.

Where we're going to leave off this week is that why should you live an unapologetic life is because Now is the time. There are opportunities, the angels are saying, that, if you have the confidence and the presence and the energy to step into, your whole life would change, and so will the lives of all those around you, in your community, in your family, on your team. We need you now. Can you see that first word? Now is the perfect moment. Now more than ever.

Go ahead, type in the comments below how is this perfectly on time, this topic of living life unapologetically. We are walking into this as a new year - regardless of when you're watching or reading this, by the way. At the time that this airs, it will be a new year in 2018, but we are walking into this new year as if Now is when we're worthy, Now is when we can live life unapologetically.

What would that mean to you? Go ahead and type in the comments below. I want to hear it. I want to read it. Share, send me videos back, send me an e-mail back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. That comes straight to me. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and I will see you next time for part two of five. See you soon. Bye.

Second-guessing taking a certain positive action in your business?

Worried that you’ll screw it up, “like you always do”?

Have you just accepted that most of your friends, family or colleagues have a negative or pessimistic outlook on life?

It’s not easy being the creative and energy-sensitive black sheep.

And if you don’t have a positive high-vibe community to encourage and nourish you, you can end up stuck more often than not in your life and business.

Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter video, the third in our 4-week exploration of the Power of Positive Community, to leverage the Universal Law of Association!

"What's wrong with me?"

This is week three, it's our third installment of the four week deep dive on the power of positive community. And this week in particular we really want to take some time to clarify the power of the love association.

When I was journeying on the topic for this week's love letter video my guides said that it's time for us to really talk about universal laws and start understanding them on deeper levels. We'll be covering more universal laws as the year goes on together.

But for this week in particular let's talk about the law of association.

I briefly covered it in the first of our four week deep dive so if you haven't seen that yet, go ahead and pause this video and go back on YouTube to re-watch that or go back on the blog at victoriawhitfield.com. But for this week let's talk about the universal law of association.

And this basically states that you are and your reality is the sum total and median, the common denomination between the five people and five realities that you spend the most time with and around. You're the median of the five people that you listen to the most.

Your bank account and your income is the median of the five incomes and bank accounts that you are the most exposed to or the closest related to. The law of association basically means that in groups we find harmony.

The inverse is to say in general, it's harder to stick out and go against the grain. In nature things tend to find harmony.

And so to illustrate this, I wanted to speak to those of you in the tribe and especially you who's watching who feel like the black sheep. We talked about that earlier this month. So if you've been feeling like a black sheep it's important for you to see exactly what's going on here.

It's not that everyone around you is crazy or everyone around you's wrong. Or conversely that there's something wrong with you. What's wrong with me? No, no, no. You're just cut from a different thread. You have different DNA.

To illustrate this my guide sent me a visual to convey what it essentially looks like.

In that you are a lioness. Or you're a lion. However, as a cub you grew up with cats. So rather than out hunting zebra and enjoying all the space, laying out in the sun and going wherever you please proudly like a lion and being ferocious when needed but soft when else. You grew up with cats and so cats hide. They hide to make sure that they stay safe. They pile together to keep warm. They like to fit into small spaces so that they can feel as safe and protected and small and compact as possible. And cats also more often than not are domesticated. So when they see humans they either feel frightened or they want to be pet and touched.

So can you imagine what the mindset of a lion would be if since she was a cub she grew up around cats?

First her cub ages, she's same size as everyone and hiding and keeping safe maybe even suckling on other mama cats because she was small enough to suckle alongside the kittens. And eventually then she's grown into full lioness where she tries to sit and fit into boxes that she can't fit anymore. Or if a zebra or antelope comes she runs and takes off rather than doing her natural duty as a lioness to eat. That's food, it's not a threat. Or even people. Oh snuggling with them rather than seeing them as prey. The mindset of a kitten or a cat is inside of this lion.

Has this happened to you in your business? Or even in your life? Where, although you were born with the DNA of a lion, you've grown up and surrounded yourself with cats. Who play small and stay small to stay as safe and controlled as possible.

Never let out ferociousness or if they do it's in a short burst and only to a few things. Most things aren't prey to cats. Certainly not on the lion's level. Be kind to yourself if you've been playing small because you have a mindset that's coming from the wrong DNA.

Know this: You are cut from a different cloth: you are a lion. 🦁 So stop acting like a scaredy-cat! 😿

This week in particular the guides are asking you to tune into where you are associating yourself. If you are a lion deep within you, you know it, how many lions are you running with? Can you look to your right and look to your left and see other powerhouses? Forces of nature.

Or when you look to your right and look to your left everyone says you're crazy or you're being too much. You're too big. You're too big. Even though you can't help it. It's your DNA.

Be on the lookout for that. And also be on the lookout for where the lions are. If you're ready to come out more and to invoke more of your bigger presence, go where the lions are. This is where I'm hearing the oracle cards calling and the energy around our understanding of the law of association.

Let's get a little bit closer so that you can see the detail of the cards when I pull them.

It's Healing With the Fairies by Doreen Virtue one of the many oracle card decks that we have here at the dojo. So fairies, what do we need to know right now about the law of association?

And having permission to play big and be lions and lionesses? Ooo, hello. Ooo. Beauty. The fairies are bringing the beauty card forward and this is where we're going to leave off for the week.

In self image. How you care for yourself, seeing how she's combing her hair, how you care for yourself creates how you see yourself. And if your self care is on a cat of kitten level even though your DNA is of the lion and lioness, you are going to recreate an image of yourself as small. And to associate with others who are on that same level.

However, if you know that your DNA is at a higher level, on the lioness level taking this illustration, if you know it's on a higher level it's time for you to up level your self care so that you are treating yourself as a lion.

It starts with you. Your self image matters. So that when you come around other lions you recognize huh, we're the same. We have the same DNA rather than thinking, "ooo, you're a little bit too big for me."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Work on your own perspective so that you can see yourself in your lion presence rather than just as your cat or kitten presence.

Is this resonating for you? What comes up? Go ahead and type in the comments below or send me an email back. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letter first every week and remember, if you need help balancing your mind, body and business just let me know over at victoriawhitfield.com/contact and we'll see you soon. Bye.

The post Love Letters | Law of Association – Part 3 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Have you ever felt helpless?

And did that experience warp your ability to trust yourself and others?

Concerned that you can't tell the difference between self-care and self-sabotage because of what happened to you?

Sometimes bad things happen to good people... I know.

Yet Source wants you to know that all things can - and do - work together to form greater good in our lives.

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter to hear my story of overcoming a very dark time in my life and how I healed from cycles of self-sabotage to embracing a lifestyle of self-care and healing.

"I only smoke because it helps me cool off."

We're continuing the series, sourced this time around has asked to continue you and I building a deeper relationship and a deeper understanding about certain concepts that come up in our spiritual lives.

This series is going to be a five week series around the dark side of self-care. Woohoo. I'm so excited.

I am so excited to bring you to the dark side of self-care. What that basically looks like is self-sabotage.

Now this first week in particular the guides have asked me to share more of my story.

I just finished a session with a new client. I'm so excited for her. It's amazing what inspires people to begin their healing journey. She's beginning a new six month healing journey, Sojourner healing journey, which means she's coming in for an hour, a private hour a month for me. She also gets unlimited meditation classes here at the dojo.

It's so interesting to hear people's stories of what inspires them to begin to heal. What motivates you to really begin healing.

It was just fascinating sharing with her some of my story of what caused me to get into all of this in the first place.

Believe it or not, it comes from actually my pain.

Simon Sinek, very beautifully says that your big why comes from your pain more often than not.

For me, it was a series of three breakups that caused me to break open. The first one was someone that I thought I was going to be with. The whole soulmate situation that you think you have and then turns out sleeping with your coworker and calls you on your wedding day to ask how are you? One.

Two, the next one broke me open again because of the color of my skin. He had decided that we couldn't be together because of the color of my skin. That also compounded my perspective.

Then unfortunately the third one that really broke me open was when I got date raped. Yes, I'm sharing that with you.

No, I'm not happy about what happened to me. I honor the fact that these were the events that grabbed my attention that something is not quite right.

Now maybe you grew up with a history of abuse or maybe you grew up with alcoholic parents or that sort of a thing.

Something happened in our lives that forced us to take a stand and say, "Wait a minute. I don't like this. I don't like this." Right?

It's those moments where you put your foot down and say, "No more. I'm not going to be beaten anymore" or, "I'm not going to select people who would do these kinds of things to me anymore."

One of my first spiritual teachers her question to me, that changed my life, was: "what is the pattern in you that's creating this situation?"

This is where we get into our five week deep dive around self-sabotage.

When I look back into those dark times in my life where I would have suicidal thoughts and would be sleeping at around 22 hours a day, only getting up to go to the bathroom and have a sip of water, trying to escape, escape, escape there were things that I was doing to self-soothe that within my compressed mindset I thought were good for me.

When you have a compressed, like as in a really limited mindset, bad stuff you can't really tell that that's bad for you.

Some of the ways that I used to self-soothe but actually turned out being self-sabotage ... Well, one it was the constant sleeping. Also, I used to chain-smoke Clove cigarettes, the black ones. Like talk about breathing death. Emotional stuffing. I used to live on Twix and Chex-Mix and nothing else except for Captain Morgan's spiced rum and Malibu coconut rum. I remember. I'm so happy that I'm sober now.

There's these things that, "I'll just have a drink so that I can soothe" or escape, get rid of this negativity, or, "Let me go have a smoke. Let me cool off." Or, "Let me just check out." There's so many things that we do to soothe ourselves that within a limited and a compressed point of view feel pleasurable and we interpret them as good even though they're working against us.

Now there was also another form of self-sabotage I would do at the time. I would work around 12 hours or so a day at a really, really toxic job. Like screaming bosses that were financial abusers as in dangling your pay check over your head in order to get you to do things that are completely outside of your principles.

Be kind to yourself if as I invoke the darker side of my story that this is resonating for you like, "Ooh, ooh, I still do some of that, Victoria" ... This is not to say like, "I'm good and you're bad." No.

I want you to know that I've been through some things and when I'm going to talk to you over the next few weeks around self-sabotage versus self-care there's some history there. I'm only tapping on the tip of the iceberg here with respect to your energy.

Know this: Be kind to yourself. What motivates great healing is usually great pain.

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

--
My story is my story and it's made me who I am. Here's the light in the darkness is that when you start self-soothing you can choose to raise the vibration of the forms of self-soothing that you do.

For example, I remember even when I was still chain-smoking I started learning more about crystals and oracle cards. "Well, you know, maybe this will help me feel better." It was something positive about these cards or I feel the energy when I'm holding this crystal. I don't know what the heck it is. I'm going to get into that in the next few weeks.

That was the turning point. It was following things that brought me joy and uplifted me in the self-soothing cycle. It's natural.

I want you to know this and watch this in yourself this week.

Watch the way that you soothe yourself, whether it's positive or negative. Just notice how do you soothe yourself when you're feeling bored, when you're feeling depressed, empty, anxious, angry, unacknowledged, lonely, et cetera. How do you soothe yourself? It is positive things? Or negative?

Most of us have a mixture of both. By the way, at the filming of this video I still have some not so good things, such as eating chocolate and ice cream, that is harmful against my body. As well as doing hours of meditation, grounding out in nature, doing reiki. I have a mixture.

This is called being human. I want us to have a deep dive now for the next five weeks around honoring that self-care versus self-sabotage dance that we're all doing.

I know that you're doing it. If you clicked play on this video chances are you're a natural empath. You're already sensitive to the energy and trying to figure out how to cope with all this energetic overload. We're going to confront this head-on.

We're going to dive deep together. I can't wait to see you next week and hear what you think.

Comment below. Tell me what's coming up for you around this.

Do you have a story that you wanted to share, by the way? Did my story bring up some of yours? I would love to witness you in sharing your story, privately, just to honor you. We don't want to post all that out in social media and all over the place.

Send me an email back and let me know and I'd be happy to set up a share your story call so that we can hold space for you speaking your truth for the first time.

I know it's tough. I feel you but we're going to get through this together.

Are you ready for this? Five weeks. Five weeks. Let's do this. Self-care versus self-sabotage. Going to the dark side. Whoop, whoop. Shining light so that we can all grow together. I'm sending you so much love and I'll see you next week. Bye.

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

The post Love Letters | Self Care vs. Self Sabotage – Part 1 of 5 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Are you stuck at an indecision impasse? 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do you find pennies on the ground or have vivid dreams when you ask for a sign that you’re on the right path?

Or perhaps you see certain repeating numbers or kinds of animals right when you need assurance at work?

Wondering what’s the meaning behind the “coincidences” you’re experiencing?

There’s no such thing as coincidence.

Source works with Nature here on Earth to constantly communicate with you.

Watch this week’s 9-minute Love Letter video, the third of a 4-week series to Awaken your Shaman Within, to explore the shamanic perspective that all of life has wisdom!

"I keep seeing that animal everywhere."

We are on week three of our four-week journey, learning about awakening our inner shaman in business. And if you have not seen the past few videos, go ahead and hit pause and go back so that you can be all caught up.

But this week, week three in particular, the guides want you to know, and begin embracing and practicing, this concept of wisdom in everything. There is wisdom in everything. There is wisdom in everything. This week in particular, they're bringing that out.

Now, in the shamanic journey, meditation practice, there is the assumption and the philosophy that everything that you encounter during your meditative journey is conscious, and is there for you, for a reason. If you were to interact with it, such as asking the acorn, or asking the stone, or asking the mountain a question, it will respond to you, right, because there's wisdom in there.

This is part of the shamanic mindset, where we are open and receptive to interacting with our environment and our world, our universe, with love and respect, because we are all part of nature.

At the same time, this is the shamanic mindset, you can think of it as, this is my spirituality, or this is just my religion. It's not a religion. It's a set of beliefs. Or this is just something that's interesting, that I do in a meditative state.

However, this week in particular, we're going to take that shamanic philosophy, that visionary assumption of there is wisdom in everything, and apply it to your professional life. What the guides are telling me to relay to you, this week in particular, is be on the lookout for a bird or a deer that you may see driving to and from work. What animals do you encounter? The certain color of things. Stones, people.

Everything ... And this is a writer-downer.

Everything is happening for you, not to you.

‪Know this: Everything is happening FOR you, not to you. #mindsetiseverything @SenseiWhitfield

When we assume that everything is happening for me, or has wisdom for me, our receptivity to manifestations and abundance increases exponentially. And then secondly, our wisdom, our ability to expand our mindset, accelerates in its expansion, because it's not just a dependence on our own.

We're not just having a dependence on our own point of view, and our own experience. But instead, we are open, and constantly in search of the wisdom that is all around us.

Someone coming up to you and saying something that you may feel uncomfortable with at work, for example, is happening for you, this week in particular.

There is a bit of wisdom in there. There is a learning, a growth opportunity. There is something good. There is always a positive aspect. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.

One of my most famous videos, by the way, over the years, and the saying that I say all the time, we explained way back, a couple years ago, there's no such thing as coincidence. There's no such thing as coincidence. I highly recommend that video if you want even more on this topic. But in this week in particular, adopt the shamanic mindset of there is wisdom in everything.

I'm hearing miracle cards calling in the energy. Let me come a little bit closer, so we can get in on this together, a little bit more intimately. Again, Stephen D. Farmer's Earth Magic oracle cards. This is a shamanic deck that we've been journeying with all month.

And if you want to donate cards, I'm happy to receive them always. On my About Me page, now, there is donation and support information there, so go ahead and click on that. Thank you, team, for making that available to everyone.

Guides, what do we need to know this week, in particular about wisdom in everything? All right, full moon, completion. Full moon, completion.

What I'm hearing, and here's where we'll leave off in the teaching for this week, is that in the lunar manifesting, the full moon is where we have reached the apex of energy, and we are receiving what we have asked for in the new moon.

So, 13, 14 days before is usually when the new moon happens, and when you're doing new moon manifesting, lunar cycle manifesting, you ask during the new moon, and you receive what you asked for on the new moon during the full moon. And then afterward, release. You release ll of that energy.

Completion is, this week in particular, you have been asking for guidance. And it's going to come to you through your environment. Through the things, the people, the places, the animals, the plants, the experiences that you are having.

It's not going to be "bam!" Hitting you right over the head. It's soft. Instead, you want to be on the lookout for what wisdom is being sent to you.

I highly recommend, just as a resource, google any animal or plant that you encounter that kind of comes across your path. Not just anything that you see, but one that really interrupts your path, or stands out to you.

Google, insert the name of the animal, for example, let's say chipmunk. Insert the type of animal, and then put "spirit animal" or "spiritual meaning" into Google, and you can get wonderful readings on that.

This week in particular, the guides are sending this card in particular to say, your request is complete and ready for you to receive. There are signs in your environment for you to notice that, but you've got to be open to receiving them, noticing them, and of course, taking action on them.

So, go ahead, comment below. Type it in in YouTube, or if you're on the blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com, and NaturalIntuition.com. What comes up for you?

What's been crossing your path? What wisdom have you received from your experiences, and from nature around you?

Lastly, make sure that you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get these love letters first every week, and we will see you next week for the fourth and final installment of awakening your shaman within. Are you ready for it? It'll see you then. Bye-bye.

The post Love Letters | There’s Wisdom in Everything – Part 3 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you have a hard time connecting and communicating with your clients?

Is your marketing message or mission statement unclear or ‘not quite there’ yet?

Have you been feeling ungrounded in your business, like something foundational is missing?

Be kind to yourself: you have yet to awaken your true potential.

Inside every spiritual entrepreneur is a Visionary, an inner intuitive shaman who can see the way forward.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the first of a 4-week series, to Awaken your Shaman Within and take your business to the next level!

"I think my communication with my clients is going well."

Whether you are looking to improve the quality of your personal or professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

This next four week series is going to be really powerful because the guides want you to awaken your shaman within. We're going to take the next four videos to cover this as a topic integrating shamanism and the shamanic perspective into your business and into your professional life for better grounding, creativity, innovation and communication.

As always, in these series we begin with a mediation around why. Why is it time for you to awaken your shaman within? Let me come a little closer. I know, you're like, "Oh my God, you're far away," right? It's time for you to awaken your shaman within, and the reason why is that source is calling you to better connect to your employees and your clients.

This is about communication, communication, communication, baby. I'm sure you've taken so many communications courses, gone to the events, gone and done all of the workshops and gotten your certifications and things, sensitivity training and so on and so forth. Be kind to yourself, it's not that you're not good enough, as to why communication is coming back up again, but it's actually because you are being called to go higher.

There's a huge difference. This is the tweetable of the week, there's a huge difference between feeling not good enough versus being called to go higher. And that's where this concept of bringing shamanism and awakening your inner-shaman in your business and in your professional life, that's why this is coming forward.

‪Know this: There’s a huge difference between being not good enough, and being called to go higher in your #business 💕

Let's talk about this a little bit more. The word shaman, in western culture we tend to think of shaman as some dude, first of all, I'm female. Some dude up on the mountain top or in the jungle with his junk hanging out and paint on his face, looking regal and natural and fabulous and super spiritual and hits you with the oak leaves and clears your energy.

I know you don't think that but I've got to get to the lowest common denominator, so we can all find ground. So not to knock anybody who believes that but some people, that's the first emotional, kind of guttural reaction that they get when they hear shaman. "Why the ... I own a plumbing company, why would I want to be a shaman in my ... that's ridiculous. You're a weirdo." Right?

So be kind to yourself if that comes up or be kind to yourself if others have said that to you. We'll be weird together for the next four weeks, or if you've been following my love letters for a while, baby, we've been weird together for years. So good, right?

The word shaman actually comes from the Siberian Tungus tribe and it means one who sees in the dark. One who sees in the dark. My guides are telling me to actually shut the lights for a little bit. When things start getting darker in life or a bit more uncertain, it can cause your ability to see detail to decrease, right? So if I were to go and cut the corner light out here, it's even hard to see me. The uncertainty is increasing because it's getting darker.

Now I'm not going to go completely dark but this is just to make the point, what if when I turned that light off you were still able to see me and you were still able to see how many fingers am I holding up? If you have the ability to see in the dark when others can't, you are, according to the Tungus tribe you're a shaman, but my more contemporary terms you are a leader.

It gives you the ability to, I'm just going to cut the light back on. It gives you the ability to better communication with your environment because you have access to more energy and wisdom, and that is why this month we are awakening your shaman within.

By the way, go ahead and click the link below this video if you want to join us live in the Berkshires, so that you can come to the retreat, the Awakening the Shaman Within Retreat, so you can learn these practices in depth, me and you and our tight-knit tribe of visionary entrepreneurs and business owners. So, links below.

But let's continue on this topic of being the visionary, because that's what it means to be the shaman. You are one who sees in the dark. You're the leader, and that is where we're going higher in your ability to communicate in your business, access to information, innovation, creativity, certainty and confidence, so that you can best lead your teams or best lead your clients and customers to all go higher together in the process.

Now I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. All month we're going to be journeying with earth magic, our shamanic deck by  Steven D Farmer, an amazing, amazing author. Just go check out his stuff. One of many beautiful oracle card decks that we have here at the dojo. Guides, what do we need to know right now about why it really is the time now to awaken our shaman within in business?

I just cut that. Bam, lightning, power. Here's where we're going to leave off for this week. Lightning is re-polarizing the electrical charge of an environment. Perhaps now more than even you need another level of resource, another level of perspective in order to deal with the charged environment that you are moving through. Just like a bolt of lightning is powerful and it is a burst of insights that brings neutrality between that thunder cloud and the earth below her.

So maybe it's the tense environment of restructuring at your corporation, your organization. Or maybe it is that charge of discomfort that is going on between team members. They're just not communicating very well because of limited perspective. Or, I'm going to do a pun on charge is what I'm hearing to say, that even this is your discomfort with receiving more money or raising your rates. You need a higher vibrational perspective and higher mindset to help you make it there, and your shaman within can see the way forward.

Comment below, tell me what comes up for you and throw your tomatoes at me by the way if you have any tomatoes on this. Like, "You can't bring shamanism into business." Bring it.

I'd love to hear both the light and the dark. You know I love you just the way you are. So get ready for the rest of this month, we're going to be continuing down this line of discussion on awakening your shaman within. I look forward to seeing you at the retreat.

The post Love Letters | Awaken Your Shaman Within – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

This is week five of five in our deep dive into shifting our perspective, and we’ve been discussing the exact mechanics of how to shift our perspective so that we can step into our divinity fully in life and business.

For week five, my guides have asked me to speak to you on a pivot topic as we prepare for our next series of love letter videos. But before I get to the topic, if this is the first of the series that you are seeing, make sure you pause, go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and start from week one so that you are grounded in this process.

This week, my guides have shown me that we need to talk about the empath trap. Don't fall for the empath trap. And I see this is shockingly prevalent, the more I've been going live on Facebook, actually. If you haven't seen my Facebook page, where I'm dropping what I call #lovebombs for you, then youre missing out on some real activating inspiration. Go ahead to Facebook.com\senseivictoriawhitfield to catch some of those. They really, really add a pep to your step and wake you up if you've been kind of asleep at the wheel in life and business.

What I found is that the more that I've been going live, the more I find people from all over the world falling into the empath trap. And here's what it is: where you expect somebody else to make you feel better. Now, that's it in a nutshell, but I'd like to just clarify a little bit more of that. First of all, if you don't know what an empath is, let's start there because that's jargon, right?

An empath is someone who is an emotional sponge. It's different than empathy. With empathy, you choose to see a situation through somebody else's eyes. You use your mind, your mental acrobatics abilities to construct the idea of what it would be like to walk in somebody else's shoes. You choose to do that, and that's compassionate, that's awesome, and develops rapport.

But someone who's an empath has the ability to really feel what others are going through, emotionally and physically, and it happens against their will. So that means, if someone's coming in in a grumpy mood, all the sudden, the person in the room who's an empath will start feeling grumpy, and they were fine before. Or if somebody has a headache, the person who's an empath will start feeling like their head hurts, or another part of their body is suddenly hurting too, not because they're mentally unstable or something like that, but because the way that their body is wired is that they're a sponge. They soak in the physical and emotional feelings of others in their environments.

We see this in the animal kingdom as well, not just amongst people. Think of dogs and cats. If you have a dog or a cat, it's not that they can speak English, necessarily, but have you ever noticed that they feel sad when you feel sad? Or they can sense in their bodies if something's not quite right with you? It's amazing because animals are highly empathic. It's our birthright as beings here on earth, being empathic. It's another sense that we have, to be able to sense the emotional and physical feelings of others around us, because it's another form of communication.

Now, in more recent years, in the New Age, Metaphysical, spiritual-but-not-religious sort of soul-seeking communities online or the self-help or Angel Healing, energy healing and etc. groups online, there's this whole philosophy and subculture around being an empath that says, "Oh, you're special and you need special help. And we got to band together and got to protect and got to read all these books" and similar stuff like that. What I found is, when I'm going live on Facebook, I'll attract more empaths as viewers because I am one, and I understand that. But those who have fallen into the empath trap think that other people are going to solve their problem for them, or ease their symptoms, or give them the answers that they're seeking.

And when we're committed to shifting our perspective so that we can finally step into, meaning claim, the power of our divinity in life and business, we're not waiting for somebody else to come to the rescue. In the words of the fabulous Lisa Nichols, the mantra is, “I am my rescue." It's so important, as an empath, to honor the fact that you have power.

So if someone's sharing, like myself, intuitive readings or channelings or insights or talking about psychic development and so on and so forth, and you feel like, "Okay, this person has answers. Hey, you tell me blah blah blah about my parent who's passed on" or "Hey, you look at my aura and see if there's any blockages in it," then be kind to yourself: that's actually disempowering for you. That doesn't enable you to step into your divinity. Instead, that puts the onus on the other person and gives your power away.

I want you to know that you have power and that this is the week that you are going to get out of that empath trap. Because when it comes down to it, an imbalanced or dysfunctional empath feels good when others feel good or feels bad when others feel bad. That always puts you at a disadvantage. Please take your power back!

We're going to go more into this in the next series, but for now, we’re here at beautiful Washington Rock in the dead of winter to really open up and get that nature energy to help us process and reclaim our expansive power. I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. It's the Isis Oracle by Alana Fairchild. The last one of the series is ... Ooh, this couldn't have been better. The Eye of Horus. Awakening divine perception.

Here's where we're going to leave off for the week: Claim your ability to take control of your life. Claim your ability to create your life by design, to tune into Source, to plug in to Spirit. You can do this. Awaken your divine perception. You have it by birthright. You don't have to get it from somebody else secondhand. It's yours. You can cut out the middleman.

If this message was for you, go ahead, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com or comment below. Let me know what's coming up for you. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, and I'll see you next time for the next series.

May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Decide to take back your power by claiming your birthright as an empowered, empathic and intuitive being, and to stop giving your power away.

Declare "I am my rescue. I claim my birthright to create my own life and to connect to Spirit myself!"

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 | The Empath Trap – Part 5 of 5 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you love being First?

Are you a highly competitive person, especially with yourself?

Constantly on the lookout to see where you can always be improving?

Healthy competition is inspiring, motivational and gets things moving.

And yet, competition requires you expend energy, and that can lead to you working harder than you have to.

Watch this week’s 12-minute Love Letter video, the fourth installment in our 5-part exploration of transitioning “From Me to We”, to shift your mindset from being competitive to being creative.

"I always feel like I have to be in first place."

So this is week four of five our deep dive exploring the transition between me mindset, thinking everything is up to me, right? Feeling singular, compressive, small to the we mindset of opening up to receiving and allowing help and the love and support of others on our journey.

Now I'm talking primarily on your professional journey but I know there are loves who are watching these love letters who are just watching for personal growth and development. And yes, you don't have to go anywhere. To you too, all are welcome here.

So this week in particular, the guides are talking about transitioning. So another transition step on the way to move from the me mindset to the we mindset is moving from what Wallace Wattles calls the competitive to the creative mind.

Or if you've ever seen that lovely infograph that goes the lack mindset versus the abundance mindset. Of course these are similar comparison paradigms that we're setting up here.

In the Science of Getting Rich written by Wallace D. Wattles, he composes a theorem over the course of the entire book. It's a word equation for creating wealth and riches and one of the powerful turning points of the book is when Wallace Wattles describes the difference between having a competitive and a creative mind.

Last week we hinted at the issue of having conditional love and approval of ourselves and see the types of results that can create when we're working with a limited amount of energy. This week continues that because when we are operating from the competitive mindset, this is conditional.

The competitive mindset is dependent on the ability to press against that which we are competing with. Okay, there's this other person. All right I'm going to compete against them. I'm going to be first. It's dependent upon. It's conditional. Your success within being competitive is having someone to compete against.

Now for those of us who've been on the personal growth and development train for quite some time we think well I compete with myself. And at the same time you're still comparing. Let's be honest, we're still comparing to this part of me is not good enough. This part of me is not good enough. Got to push against. Got to make it better. Got to improve. Got to innovate. Always, always, improving. Be kind to yourself if that's you.

This is a push approach to making progress. Right? And with that it takes so much more energy. By the way as a side note, this is what I call being the hard work hero in your life story. Now I outline my whole theory around being the hard work versus the smart work hero and heroine in your life story. In my webinar The Abundant Business Lifestyle Webinar.

So if you haven't seen that, there should be a link somewhere magically placed by my wonderful monkeys for you so that you can really go deep around not being the hard work hero in life anymore.

So suffice to say when we're pushing to make innovation that's expounding a whole lot more energy than going with the flow of nature. And nature is the word actually is synonymous with creation. Right? So we're going to shift from the competitive to the creative mind and in shifting from needing to push against something, the progress is contingent upon, it's dependent upon, it's conditional upon something to push against.

Instead the creative mind is a constant flow. It's a constant flow between you and source. There are solutions to your issue at work or at home that are outside of a conditional box for you to relax and meditate into.

Know this: Cultivating your Creative Mind is smart work in #business because it aligns you with the flow of Nature; you are naturally a Creator, not a Competitor.

If you're not used to relaxing and meditation and receiving guidance, I'm right here. Pick me, pick me. Go ahead and reach out to me at victoriawhitfield.com/contact and let's get you set up with your natural intuition program so that you can tune into your intuition.

But suffice to say the creative mind is smart work. You're harnessing the flow of your natural state as a creator. That's our purpose here. On earth in this lifetime is to be creators. And the more that you can stand in your own unique creative vision, not necessarily wearing bright scarves and dresses and things with goddesses on the wall. You can be creative in your own right.

So be kind to yourself. If you also tell yourself a story of I'm not a creative person, that is actually a story you created so by definition, by default you're actually creating and saying you're not a creator at the same time, right? Be kind to yourself if that's the situation that you are currently in.

And I'm hearing the oracle card calling in the energy to weigh in on the topic of shifting from the competitive mind of that push and hard work to the creative mind which then pulls us towards our greater future.

Let me come in a little bit closer. I love doing that. So I tell my peeps to do things to put themselves in the vortex. That's one of mine. So again, the Life Purpose Oracle Card deck by Doreen Virtue is what we are journeying with. And angels, what do we need to know right now about shifting from the competitive to the creative mind? How can we embrace our creativity more?

So good. Here's where we'll leave off for the week. You are a healer. You have the spiritual gift of healing and a desire to share it with others. So my guides are coming in and saying two things in particular about this card. For one, you are a healer. Let's honor that and celebrate it and stand in it and come out of your healing closet around the fact that yes, you really are a healer, right? You create a healing presence. You have healing hands or your gifts and your creativity are a healing presence in your soul aligned community.

On top of that, in order for you to connect to your creative flow, healers need healing too. It's time for you to reach out and connect with an energy healer so that you can shift from the competitive to the creative mind. I have intuitive healers for myself and always have and I am one. Especially for you as spiritual and empathic entrepreneurs and business owners and leaders, right? You have unique issues that I'm happy to support you with.

So go ahead and reach out. It's time for you to connect with an intuitive healer so that you can get back into your creative flow. Go ahead and comment below. This is meant to be a two-way conversation. I send you love letters but you could send me some back too. Always open to receive. I've got like tons. Tons of love letters and that's just like one of many walls. To those of you who have sent me love letters, thank you so much. But go ahead. Send me an email back. Comment below or write me in the mail victoriawhitfield.com/contact. My mailing address is there.

What's coming up for you around shifting from the competitive to the creative mind, right? Standing in your healer. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week.

And if you know someone who is an empathic entrepreneur or spiritual business owner, forward them this lovely little love letter so that they know that it's time for them to get the support that they need in their professional healing journey.

All right, we'll see you next week for our fifth and final installment. Bye.

Wondering why you’re feeling blocked and stagnant?

Wishing you could manifest more abundance of health, wealth and love?

Spending  most of your work days feeling frustrated, anxious and even bored to death?

Sounds like you have got a Pleasure Emergency!

And the less pleasure you have, the less energy you have - not just physical energy, but also creative energy, too.

Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter video, the final of our 4-Part series on Your Daily PRP’s, to reconnect to pleasure and putting it as a top priority in your daily life.

"I eat the same thing for dinner every night."

We have made it to week four of four in our series on your daily PRPs.

These three essential nutrients to having you full of energy and stamina as you pursue your passion and purpose in life. A lot of people are missing out on their PRP nutrients and you are not going to be one of those after this series.

How's it been going thus far? By the way, if you're listening to me say this, you're like, "What the heck is a PRP, I don't understand." Stop this video, go back to week one, right? Go on YouTube, go back to week one where we define all of the terms, and set the stage for why this is important. Go check that out.

Without further ado, this week in particular, we're going to introduce you to the third and final letter in that acronym of PRP. P stands for pleasure. This is your pleasure week.

In particular, the guides want you to understand that your pleasure is abundance. It's not just you enjoying things, or being selfish, or anything like, but no, no, no, no, let's talk about this on a whole nother spiritual energetic level.

Valuing your pleasure, let's talk about it. When we're adulting, when we're adulting, right? We learn that our productivity is way more important than play, right? Being productive, and having high output, and being effective, and responsible, all of that.

You know, we've talked about that before in a previous week about play. We prioritize it higher than our play, and also higher than our pleasure, and higher than our rest. Be kind to yourself if that's what comes to you. Where you're moving from day to day and each day is gray, predictable, monotonous, the rat race, boring.

You spend your time on Facebook, or on your phone, because you're bored, right? Playing Candy Crush because you're bored, right? There's this lack of enjoyment, and the juice, to life.

Be kind to yourself if that's where you're at. This series is for you and this week especially is for shifting that. Especially so that you can value your pleasure. Not just in a Candy Crush pleasure sort of way, but no, let's get specific.

I'm talking about your sensual pleasure. Now notice I said sensual and I did not say sexual, per se. Not knocking sexual pleasure, a essential, that's essential, right?

That's another nutrient, I would say it's a whole nother can of worms that is outside of the bounds of what we're talking about this video in particular, this week in particular.

I'm talking about sensual, as in your Aristotelian senses, sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. Your sensual enjoyment is powerful because it grounds you. Emotionally and mentally enjoying sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, throughout the day and really being present to that pleasurable smell, that pleasurable taste, that pleasurable texture, that pleasurable piece of art to look at.

Really enjoying those pleasurable sounds of running water, or birds chirping, or soft music, or jazz, or whatever you vibe with, right? The pleasurable sound even of the way that you talk, speech is a form of self massage, internal self sonic massage, by the way. Your pleasure is essential because it grounds you, first and foremost, into the present moment. Let's take this even farther.

Your pleasure, your sensual, your five sensual pleasure, grounds abundance for you in this present moment, right? Because the only reason why we're looking to manifest more abundance is because we want to feel good, abundance of any kind. It may be abundance of lovers, abundance of affection, abundance of money, abundance of time, whatever.

Whatever your version of abundance is, you're looking to feel good the having of it as Abraham Hicks says. In order for us to get into the vortex, or get into the flow, and get into alignment with that which we are manifesting, or receiving, and asking from source energy, from our creative spirit, the fastest way to do that is actually through your five senses. The enjoyment of the here and now.

If that is true, then your pleasure equals abundance. Abundance now, not later, but abundance here and now. The more abundant you can feel and be, the faster you will manifest the abundance that you have been visualizing.

Some examples of enjoying increased amounts of pleasure, sensual pleasure, throughout the day, so that you are energized and really relaxed, so that you have stamina to pursue your passion and purpose. It could be that you don't eat chicken and rice, chicken and rice every single night, chicken and rice. Chicken and ... Maybe you switch it up a little bit. Increase your sensual pleasure of the food that you are feeding yourself, with variety, or spice, whatever.

‪Know this: Your sensual enjoyment and pleasure is essential because it grounds you.

Perhaps it is in the clothes that you adorn yourself with, whether you are male or female, there's another level of energy that you carry yourself with, guys, when you wear a well tailored shirt that looks clean, you know what I mean. Like clean, you are looking good bro, right?

The way that you feel, that confidence, and strength, and brilliant beauty that radiates out of you when you're feeling put together. It is a whole nother level of energy that you're radiating and greeting the world with, because you feel a sense of pleasure and enjoyment in the wearing of that shirt. Ladies, I don't have to talk to you about shoes, dress, whatever. Whatever brings you pleasure.

Valuing your five sensual pleasure in the way that you conduct meetings at work. What beautiful art is in the room? Are there good smells? Did you wear something that you're enjoying? A scent, that you are enjoying. Not too strong, to respect other people's noses, or are there beautiful flowers? Is there a texture for you to enjoy?

How can you integrate five sensual pleasure into your work life, on to your desk, where you work, on a daily basis? That's your assignment for this week. That's the homework.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Romance angels, Dorian Virtue Angel Cards deck, final pull for the month. Angels what do we need to know right now about valuing our pleasure as the way to manifest abundance now? Wow, this card has come back, and it's so essential though for what we're going through this month.

Religious Factors, your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path. It's a similar lesson from the last time this card came up earlier in this series. You may have come up in a belief system that told you that your pleasure is bad, right?

Now, be ethically sound in the way that you engage your pleasure. Not trying to push yourself on others. No, no, no, this is more about how you feel, and how you conduct yourself.

At the same time, there's this aspect of denial, being holy, or better, than others, that you can bear the pain better than other people. You can bear the monotony better than other people. Yeah, you're so tough, but that's exhausting energetically is the point that we want to make.

Be kind to yourself. If you've subscribed to the belief, it's become religious of you to say, "Well I'm going to live a bare life, or I'm going to bear it. I can take it. I can take it." Be kind to yourself. You don't have to. Try it this week. Just try out valuing and prioritizing your five sensual pleasure so that you can live abundantly now, and attract more abundance in the process.

Comment below, tell me what's coming up for you around this. What religious factors are coming up for you in relationship to pleasure and abundance. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get this love letters first every week. I will see you next time. Bye.

The post Love Letters | Pleasure Is Abundance – Part 4 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you work hard and play hard?

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

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

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

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

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

"I've lost my sense of adventure."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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