We are beginning a series of the love letters called Making Room.

It is time to make room for yourself. As always in a new series, we discuss the “Why” first: and today, we’re talking about why we are making room for you. Then in the following weeks, we're going to be covering making room for yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and then finally spiritually.

Why it's time to make room for you is because you have been asking Spirit for your next level, asking for that next vision, and an increase. Perhaps you have been praying for your territory to be enlarged, maybe in life or in business. Maybe you've been asking for more clients, more love and romance, more health, more play and enjoyment, but in order to receive what you are asking for, I would challenge you to ask a little bit bigger. If you have a goal card, for example, that is an ask that is outside of your norm, then good! And if you are not asking for what's outside of your normal for something that feels like a little bit of a stretch, now is the time.

This series is specifically for those in our tribe who have asked at a stretch level, as in, "Ooh, that income number looks a little bit uncomfortable," "Ooh, that goal feels entirely uncomfortable," or, "Ooh, speaking looks scary." If there is a sense of discomfort in your ask, that is fabulous, and the way that we are going to help ground you into sustaining the vibration necessary to get you into that space of receiving is to make room for yourself.

Now, back up a minute. If we don't have room for ourselves, what could that look like? It could look like a schedule that is so jampacked that there is absolutely no way to go out for friends, flirting, fun and rest. Downtime is just "catch up on all the other work-stuff" time. Does that sound a little bit familiar? There's no room for you in your schedule.

Another way that it can manifest is in your space. Perhaps with all of your responsibilities to your spouse, to your kids, or to your coworkers and employees, there's so much physical stuff in the actual space where you are that there's no room for your own expression. You're constantly making sure that everyone else is comfortable or managing everybody's else stuff. A dear friend of mine, Andrew Mellen of AndrewMellen.com, says it's time, if that's your case, to “unstuff your life” so that you can get out there and share your gifts with the world.

Then there are those of us who are asking for more from source in a distracted way, saying “Okay, spirit guides, bring me more clients, bring me more health, bring me more abundance and rest and travel, et cetera." Then your mind goes, “squirrel!” and jumps to a totally new shiny thing to look at. Instead of physical clutter, there’s a mental clutter that we can have that gets in the way of us achieving and receiving our desired outcomes.

If that's you, you know my catch phrase by now. Be kind to yourself. None of us are perfect, and there's so many opportunities - gosh, with the phone and the TV and the news and the everybody else's stuff, social media - there's so many opportunities to be distracted, and it's not your fault if you're having a hard time maintaining focus. The way that society is set up around us is that we have been trained to interact with the world in a way that expects us to constantly take on a ton of information exposure – this distracted and overloaded lifestyle is considered “normal.” And if you are ready, seriously ready to receive that next manifestation that you have asked for, if you are serious about changing the circumstances around you, you have got to be able to focus, mentally, socially, and physically. The way that you're going to do that is by making room.

This week in particular, my guides are saying that in order to begin making room, begin with your Big Why. I would love to hear from you. Go ahead, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Send that to my assistant so I can hear exactly Why is it time for You to make some room in your life for yourself.

Maybe the way that you're going to make room is by working with a certain mentor that you've been following for quite some time, or maybe the way that you're going to be making room for yourself is by discontinuing working with a certain mentor so that you can open up to just observing yourself or changing things up in your life and business. Everyone is on their own unique journey, but I want to hear Your unique Why. Go ahead and send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. I'd love to hear it.

With further ado, the oracle cards deck of the week is Angels of Abundance. This oracle cards deck is by Doreen Virtue and Grant Virtue, her son. Angels of Abundance, we're going to be journeying with you all month on this topic. What do we need to know right now about making room for ourselves? Here we go. Words of Abundance. Words of Abundances. The angels have got my back on this one. I just got a hit that this is to really validate that you want to focus on putting to word exactly Why it's time for you to make room for yourself.

The card says, "You have the ability to instantly manifest abundance by choosing powerfully-positive words. Always describe your own in the world's economic situation in loving and optimistic terms, and that is what you attract for yourself and others."

This is where we're going to leave off this week: how you describe your situation right now, this situation that you desire to shift and change, is extremely important because the words that you use shape your reality. We want you using positive, spacious, empowering words to describe what you are creating in your current life circumstance.

Again, share your story: comment below or send it to me. I can't wait to hear it. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, and let's get to it. Muah. I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now.

--

Just for today...

Use powerful positive words to describe your current and evolving situation right now.

Remember that your words shape your reality, so be intentional about using high-quality words to communicate how you are making room to receive your next level manifestations.

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 | Make Room – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Welcome to week four of four in our exploration of restoring lost faith.

This has been a really powerful series. Your feedback has been tremendous, saying that “this is right on time, Victoria,” “oh my goodness, are you following me around your inside my head,” so on and so forth. Thank you so much for your messages, for your comments and for your shares as well, spreading our healing message. We need this now more than ever, so I just want to say thank you for that and by the way, if this is the first time you are seeing this video and you're like part four, oh my goodness, make sure you hit pause now. Go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one of this series on restoring lost faith.

And for this week in particular, my spirit guides have asked us to cover restoring lost faith in our life purpose, and even in life itself. In the previous weeks we talked about lost faith in ourselves than lost faith in business, our professional lives and in money. And this week in particular, we're going bigger. My heart is so open and present to you, by the way, if this is the week that is resonating the most for you, because when we lose faith in life, we lose faith in everything.

So, I don't know what may have happened to bring you to this point and I don't know what may have happened to the people that you love who are feeling like they're not on purpose at all, or questioning themselves, saying “maybe I don't have a life purpose, or maybe I'll never find one.” Or perhaps something devastating has occurred. Maybe a natural disaster or someone passed away. Maybe a deep loss has happened – to you or your dear ones or to whoever – and you’re feeling a loss of faith in life itself, as if this is not living, and if that is you, I want you to know you're not alone and you're not crazy.

Sometimes pain that we go through can be so great that it appears unbearable, and in fact, the depths that we get pulled to emotionally in life can be so deep that they see unfathomable, and as if there's no way to the bottom. Like when you think to yourself, “Okay, I thought I was going to hit rock bottom” and then the bottom drops out. And then again and again, and you cry out “How many rock bottoms are there? Can we go lower?” By the way, please don't ask that question. That's not the type of thing you want to manifest!

So especially with this level of a loss of faith in life or a loss of faith in your life purpose, we have got to be gentle, we’ve got to be extra kind to ourselves. Find nourishment. Now, here's the thing, my guides for this week in particular have a word for us as far as what to do. How do we begin to restore a loss of faith in our life purpose, our life path, or even in life itself? My guides have said, Allowing. Allow it.

WHAT? What does that mean? By the way, that was the first thing that I said to my guides. I was shocked and actually kinda pissed, saying, “what do you mean allow it? Do you want me to allow myself to feel the depth of my depression? Or do you want me to allow this uncertainty around my life purpose? Do you want me to just allow not knowing?”

And all they said was: Yes, the answer is yes.

Deep breath in... and exhale. Here we go!

How do we have the courage to allow uncertainty? How do we have the courage to allow rock bottom? My guides say that underneath Allowing is SURRENDER.

Now, this is not necessarily surrendering to someone else, or anything that victimizes you in your surrender. Instead, your Surrender comes from a space of power, saying, “you know what? It's not working out,” or “you know what? I don't know. I don't know what I want to do yet.” Allow yourself to be in that state of surrender.

It's okay to not know your life purpose yet. When we are feeling the frustration of a loss, or a lack even of a life purpose, that's actually impatience with Life itself. There is no way that we can tell what the next day will hold, but there IS grace in being there to witness what that day will bring. Whether it's great or whether it's not, there is grace. There is beauty in all things. There's beauty in all things.

Be there to witness it regardless of what it is. Courage comes from the heart, and last week we talked about opening your heart to receive. This week in particular my guides right now – and I'm getting a chill as I say this – are saying that your focus has got to be on opening your heart, specifically to witness life and stay in a witnessing state when it comes to your life, when it comes to what you are purposeful about or not so purposeful about, what you are passionate about or not so passionate about. Remaining open to witnessing and not having to put yourself in a box of “this is my life purpose.” There's so much more adventure in Allowing yourself to witness more and more of what could be your purpose, and in witnessing people living their life’s purpose. Allow yourself to be inspired, but not tied down to, one purpose in particular.

Allow yourself to see more of life rather than disallowing your ability to witness life AS IT IS. Don't cut yourself out of being able to see more of what's out there in the world. One of the most dangerous things about deep depression is how it makes the world so small. Can you hold a mountain with your hands? Can you hold the ocean within the palms of your hands? Can you hold all the children on the entire planet within this tiny space? Can you see everything on our great and beautiful earth through such a limited a perspective?

If only just for now – or as we say in Reiki, if only just for today – Allow yourself to witness more of life and Allow it without a timeline, because if you aren't in a state of allowing, you're going to apply an arbitrary timeline onto Nature. That is a crapchute. We will never know how long it takes to create a star, we will never know how long it takes for the acorn to sprout finally and move into being an oak tree, we will never know. But what is guaranteed is the flow of Nature that will continue forward on HER timeline, which is Divine timing.

So if only just for now, commit to Surrender to Spirit’s timeline rather than being impatient. Stop driving yourself crazy, saying: “Oh, I don't have a purpose yet,” or, “Oh, life is not enough yet.” Let it go. I'm telling you now you can do it. Just decide on letting it go and just witnessing life.

Repeat after me:

I'm letting it go. I am going to witness life as it is.

I'm letting it go. I am going to witness life as it is.

I'm going to witness life as it is.

Deep breath in... and exhale.

Let me see who I am and what it is here being alive on earth. Hey, I don't know who this message is for, but please send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com if that really rings true for you, or send this to someone who's coming up in your energy who needs this message the most right now.

Woosaah! Ok. And without further ado, let's go to the oracle cards of the week. Here we are, Healing with The Angels oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue, her very first oracle cards deck. Angels. We need you this week. What do we need to know right now about having lost faith in life and our life purpose? What do we need to know right now to restore that? What do we need to know about why we don't Allow ourselves to witness more, whether it's witnessing more of our passions so that we can, in the right divine timing, find our life's purpose whenever that happens, if it does, or Allowing ourselves to witness more of the beauty of being alive in a body on a planet? What do we need to know right now, Angels? Harmony. So beautiful: the Harmony card. “Conflict is resolved in a situation that was troubling you now. Know that you deserve--” Ooh lala. Here we are.

“Know that you deserve this peace and happiness, and accept it graciously. Beloved child of God, you are a peace lover at heart. This card comes to you as a sign of new harmony that dawns upon you. Let go of viewing the situation as troubled and see yourself and others through the eyes of your guardian angels. In this way, you'll look past the surface and see the beauty and light that eternally shines within everyone. By shifting your viewpoint to the angelic perspective, you become an Earth Angel. Holding an elevated viewpoint sparks miraculous healings in all of your relationships. Conflict drops away, revealing the clean and new truth about everyone and everything.”

This is so perfect. This is where we will leave off for this week and for this series. What's going to help you Allow yourself to witness more of what you're made out of and more of your purpose, and what's going to help you Allow yourself to witness more of life is to shift your perspective. This is so on time. This is so perfect.

Shift your perspective. In fact, elevate it. Now, Doreen is recommending through her channeled writing of the messages of the angels to see yourself from your Guardian Angel’s perspective. But if you don't believe in angels, I’d invite you to see yourself and see your life, your pursuit of living with purpose, through the eyes of someone who absolutely loves you. That elevated perspective for me I think of my grandmother. She is in the spirit realm and more than alive now at this point in time. Muah, I love you grandma! See yourself through the eyes of someone who has an infinite amount of love for you. Think about them, and if you cannot picture one person in your mind, borrow the energy of the angels. Or borrow the energy of maybe a spiritual guru that you follow, or even borrow MY perspective of you.

See yourself through a higher vibrational perspective and allow that way of seeing your life and life in general to help you remain open to this ongoing journey. It's the journey that makes you the person that you're supposed to be, not the destination. It's about who you become in the process.

Comment below, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. If this is hitting deep within you, I'd love to hear what's coming up for you, and by the way, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week. I'll see you next time. Bye for now.

--

Just for today...

Shift your perspective about yourself and how you’re doing in life by elevating it: imagine you could see yourself through the eyes of your Guardian Angel.

Ask yourself: how would my Guardian Angel see me and what I’m going through? How can I see myself and my life through their eyes, instead of just mine?

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

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

Feel like fear is running your life lately?

Always putting out fires and waiting for the "other shoe" to drop?

Wish you were more confident?

Fear is a great motivator, that's for sure.

But did you know that fear is a choice that we make in the moment, and that we can choose to feel differently?

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter video to learn how to stop choosing fear!

"I'm afraid to take that next step."

This week, Source kind of knocked me off my chair, because she said that fear is always a choice. It's very intense news, and I don't know who this is for. This may be right on time for somebody right now.

Fear is always a choice.

Perhaps there's a decision that's been coming up where either you're really like, "Oh, I don't know if I can do this. I'm afraid to go through with it. I'm afraid to take that next step, or what is so-and-so going to think of me?" Or, you know, going to the gym, or whatever.

Fear, the guides are saying, is always a choice.

Think of it this way. We as a human species are hard-wired for fear.

Depending on your world view, we've been inheriting, for either hundreds of thousands, thousands, or even millions of years, genes from our ancestors.

You know, way back in the day, put it that way, some of our ancestors would think, "Wow, there's a ravenous raccoon right there. Oh man, he looks super cuddly. I'm going to go and hang out with him, give him a big hug, maybe cuddle up against him," because they were outgoing, fearless, and just wanted to connect with life.

Meanwhile, we had other ancestors who are hanging out in the tree, thinking, "I'm really scared of that ravenous looking raccoon. Sure, he's fuzzy, but I don't know. I'm not getting a good feeling from that guy. I think I'm going to hang back here and you know what? Not only that, I think I'll just wrap myself in a ton of banana leaves and hide inside the tree or cave, anywhere that I can hide, as much as possible."

Who do you think lived, not only to tell the story, but also to pass down their genes?

The person who was excited and went and hung out with the ravenous, horrible raccoons, or the one that wrapped himself in banana leaves and hid inside a cave until everything was fine? Or brought everyone else into the cave and made it with them?

Obviously, the anxious crazy-pants who was in the cave. Compound that over the last few millennia, and ta-da, here we are. This is so brutal.

We're hard-wired for fear. It's evolutionary protection mechanism to ensure that you continue forward in life, is being fearful.

That's your ego, right? She's getting up and beating on her cowbell, "Dong, dong, dong, danger ahead! Dong, dong, dong!" or at least that's what my ego does. She has a cowbell. More cowbell, right?

Be kind to yourself. If you've been feeling really fearful lately, or if you have an irrational fear, such as the fear of number thirteen, right, you never want to go onto the thirteenth floor, or unlucky thirteen, or fear of arachnids.

Spider people are really nice. They get going their way, and you go on yours. You don't really have to worry about them.

What would happen if you realize that every time that you are feeling fearful, you are choosing to feel fear. What would that mean? Perhaps that would mean that you have power to decide to feel a different way.

Know this: When you choose from fear in the moment, you create fear in the future. #freeyourself @senseiwhitfield 

Years ago, one of my spiritual teachers, during a deep healing session together, she helped me bring out of my shadow this incredible learning that I'm going to share with you. What came through in that session together is that every time I am afraid, I am also excited at the same time.

In psychology, this is actually backed up.

The only difference biochemically, metabolically between fear emotions and excitement, elation emotions is where you're breathing.

You can actually, I didn't know this until years later, this was just something that came through in the spiritual session.

Not to downplay it; it was profound, profound work. Changed my life, yes.

If you are breathing up here like, shallow, top of the lungs, that's fear. You're choosing, right, to generate more fear chemicals and responses in your body.

If you were to choose, while you're feeling fearful, to breath deeper, breathe into your pelvis is what I call it here at the dojo during our meditation classes, breathe deep into your pelvis, you can actually access way more than just fear, but excitement, innovation, inspiration, motivation, while also, yes, feeling that intense energy.

Where you choose to breathe determines who you will choose to be in the next moment. It all comes down to understanding that fear is a choice.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy right now.

The deck that came through is Healing with the Angels oracle cards deck, by Doreen Virtue, one of many decks that you can come and play with if you come visit the dojo here in Westfield, New Jersey.

They said, don't even, don't even, don't even shuffle. Bottom card. That never happens, by the way.

Spiritual growth.

Knowing that fear is a choice for you, simply knowing that, is already working on your spirit's expansion right now. They're telling me to read. This is a week of spiritual growth for you, the guides are saying.

"You are going through a time of rapid spiritual growth. Enjoy the process!"

Exclamation point, by the way. I'm laughing because when I've had times of rapid spiritual growth, I had to choose to enjoy the process. It more kind of felt like I was being ripped open. You know.

"During this time, you may feel a mixture of many feelings: confusion, excitement, fear, and wonder. You love your renewed connection with the divine, and you wish you could read, study, learn, or meditate on a full-time basis. Simultaneously, though, you may worry about the implications that your spiritual studies will have on the rest of your life. What impact will your new spiritual pursuits have on your job, marriage or friendships? These worries create a fear that may erode the enjoyment which your spiritual studies bring. Surrender these fears to God. Trust that you are supported, loved, and guided each moment by God and the angels. Don't worry about how your future will blend with your spiritual growth. Trust that the same power that brought you to your spiritual path will also take care of everything else for you. After all, this power supports all of the planet in the sky. It will surely support you perfectly, too."

Here's where we're going to leave.

When you're feeling fear next, choose to give that feeling of fear over. It's just energy.

You can give it over to the earth. You can give it over to the sun. You can give it over to God, to the angels. You can give it over to a loved one of yours who is always inspiring, always your champion, always loving you, but they may be more than alive at the moment.

Hot potato that fear. Don't hold it inside of you.

Don't transfer it to somebody as in to make them fearful, but instead, we're talking about surrender. Surrendering that fear.

"You know what, I notice in this moment," say to yourself, "that I'm choosing to be fearful," and if this is your belief system, "Lord, I give it over to you. I'm choosing," ooh the chills, "I'm choosing to give it over to you, because I know that there's more for me. I don't have to be afraid." Right?

Because fear is a choice, and the choice is yours.

Send me an email back. Comment below. Let me know what's coming up for you around this. I'm curious to hear your response.

Make sure that you subscribe on Youtube so that you get your Love Letters first every week, and share this with someone that you care about who could really use some love and encouragement and positive energy.

I'll see you next week. Bye!

In Love and Light,

The post Love Letters | Choosing Fear appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Tired of being "stuck" in life, waiting for your time to shine?

Feeling frustrated that you, your partner or your business still haven't realized their potential, after all your hard work?

Having a hard time just accepting what's happening and embracing yourself and your life "as is"?

Sometimes our "great expectations" can get the best of us, blinding our eyes to the opportunities and positive aspects in our present moment.

This is a particularly sticky situation, because we're caught up in reaching for something that doesn't exist, and meanwhile in our current reality, we end up feeling blocked and stagnant.

Watch the above 11-minute video to learn exactly how you can start practicing acceptance and get unstuck!

"How can I accept my life completely?"

Acceptance keeps the momentum moving forward.

When we do not accept what the circumstances are, there's a lack of acceptance of what is.

When we do not accept who we are dating or married to as what they're showing is who they actually are, we usually are continuously looking past them, thinking: "maybe one day he's going to be this, or maybe one day she'll do this, or maybe someday this will happen."

If we're embracing being more in alignment with nature, practicing acceptance only becomes that much more important, because acceptance keeps you in the now.  

A good place to start is accepting disappointment; thinking, for example: "Okay, I see that this is what it is. I'm in a job that I do not like. I'm not comfortable with my body. This person that I'm dating really isn't right for me as they are, or this person that I'm married to is totally out of alignment with me, as they are right now."

The next step though, after acceptance, is taking action once you are clear on what you have now.

Getting to the point of accepting what is, and having a sense of peace with that, will lower your blood pressure, will calm aches in your body. Acceptance can change the way that you sleep, the way that you eat, the way that you spend your money, spend your time, who you spend your time with.

When we are in a state of acceptance, we're letting go of the fight to make things more than what they actually are -- you put your sword down, and just say "okay, I'm here."

Believe it or not, spirit is saying that the effect of this is that it wipes the slate clean in life.

Emotionally, energetically, physically, socially, financially. Clean slate.

Now for some of you, I'm feeling a nervousness in the energy around having a totally clean slate. I hear you thinking "Well, what do I do with that?"

If that's you, here's what you do. Raise the vibration of that image. Think of it like a blank check. The clean slate is meant to be infinite possibilities. It's not meant to intimidate you.

Know this: If you can accept where you're at now, that gives you a strong foundation for actually changing things for the better.  

It's about taking responsibility for all of what is your actual reality. What is the totality of your world? You need to be able to answer that before you can be in charge of your world.

Source is saying it is extremely important that you have peace with what Source has given you now.

That you have consciousness and clarity with what you have now. It's okay. All is well.

All right, so I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Doreen Virtue's "Indigo Angel Oracle Cards" is the deck that came through that wanted to share about practicing acceptance.

So we're just asking as we shuffle: "Angels of understanding, acceptance and peace, show us what do we need to know right now about practicing acceptance? What's at stake? Why are we being so prideful? Not saying no, this is not acceptable. How can I be more than who I really am right now?"

The Oracle Card that came through is... Acceptance!

LOL! WOWZA! I've been doing this for years, and well, I must say, it never gets old. It never gets old! I think this is pretty self explanatory that we're in the vortex, that your synchronicity is lining up.

Here's the reading:

 

As an indigo, you're built to question everything, as part of your mission for making healthful changes to this planet. However, this characteristic may cause you to reject a part of your life that's necessary, in order for you to get to the next step.

Let me pause for a second and emphasize this: if you want the next level in your life, the next level starts with acceptance. It's good stuff. Let's continue reading:

 

This card is a message for you to search through your life and determine if there is anything, or anyone, you are rejecting.

Accepting your life completely is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. 

While this may not be easy or even seem right, know that you simply cannot change everything you do not like, and certain things must be tolerated in this lifetime.

Why must they be tolerated? I have to pause here, because I'm hearing someone in the Energy ask "why shouldn't I settle for anything?"

Here's the thing: It's not about settling.

You could be rejecting the dark gifts, aka the lessons and stepping stones that Source is sending you in your present total reality in this present moment of existence.

You could be rejecting those gifts that are the launching pads to get you to the next level that you are designed for, if you're not accepting them or tolerating them, working through them, understanding and using them to flow through your life's journey. The reading continues:

 

You could be rejecting something that's really essential to the recipe of "You." Ask the angels to bring you strength and comfort to make letting go and accepting easier.  Acceptance is not easy. However, it is a decision.

All you have to do is decide in the moment I accept that what is, is what is.

This is what I've got right now, and I am accepting it, or this is who you are right now, and I am accepting you just as you are. Good, bad, and whoa Nelly. Right?

You'll notice that when you do that, such as admitting to yourself "I accept that I am really angry right now," things will process faster.

I encounter so many people, especially when I meet them for the first time who say, "Oh yeah, I'm blocked," or "this is blocked," or "I'm feeling blocked in life." Declarations like these show acceptance, and this is a serious issue because they don't realize they're fueling those blocks with their acceptance of the idea of being a victim of being blocked.

Another issue is that when you can't accept what's going on, you're going to be at an impasse.

There's a gift there that Source is trying to send you in this frustrating or seemingly "negative" experience. So deciding to open up and allow the experience to be what it is, not knowing what may come on the other side of being in that state of acceptance, you are opening up to moving forward authentically.

If you're curious to know more about this, send me an email at SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com or comment below. I'm really intrigued to hear what are you not accepting.

Is there something that's been eating at you, or really pressing on you, and really fueling your stress level that you feel is absolutely not acceptable? Email me about it!

Someone in the energy just said that if something bad happened to you, the way that you can practice acceptance is to accept the fact that that happened. It's not in your current total reality.

It's in your history, yes, but is it right here? Happening right now? No. This step has to come first before you let anything go, or even think about forgiving.

This is a very intense spiritual practice. Simple, but profound. So be kind to yourself; I'm sending you so much love, and I will see you next week.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Stress vs. Practicing Acceptance – Part 2 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Feeling stressed out lately because everything's changing?

Having a hard time forgiving someone who does things different than you?

Can't believe that things are not working out the way you expected?

One of the biggest sources of stress is the inability to practice acceptance of how things are.

More often than not, we unconsciously try to force the world to fit our version of how it "should" be, rather than staying non-judgmental and open.

Watch the above 11-minute video to learn to relax and stop "shoulding" all over yourself!!

"Why can't I look at my life and accept it as it is?"

This week, the topic that's coming through is practicing acceptance.

In the energy, as I was searching for what we were going to deliver for this week's love letter, and the following question came out of our soul: "What are the different sources of stress in our lives that different students of the dojo and I observe, and what does the Energy have to say?"

One of the big sources of stress in our lives is our inability to practice acceptance. The first thing that's coming through to share from the spirit is that, acceptance counteracts, or it goes against, the ego.

Ego and pride are catalysts for stress, obstacles and frustration in life.

The way this happens is that we form a mental identification with A when we are experiencing B.

Even though we believe that we are A and we believe in A, we say we are A or have been raised to be A, the experience however -- the physical sensations, the temporal physical manifestation of whatever spirit is delivering into our lives at this moment -- is B.

We're looking at B and overlaying A, because that's our glasses. We're wearing A glasses and the only thing that we could see through these glasses is A. There's no such thing as B. So we're just going to move B out of the way.

That is what a lack of acceptance looks like, energetically speaking and psychologically as well.

What are the effects of that A-B split, personality wise, perceptually? What are the effects?

• Stress
• Lack of understanding
• Suppressed expression
• Anger
• Feeling ungrounded, out of alignment, depressed, anxious, untrusting, unworthy or invalid.

We're looking at B, which is the actual temporal manifestation, the natural physical spacial manifestation that we're experiencing now is a B experience. But in our minds there's nothing but A in terms of the data that we can interpret of it, cognitively. In other words, there's a mental pattern to rather not a have to interpret the data.

So there's a mental pattern that we follow: all data that comes in must be sifted through the A protocol and fit into an A prototype. This is a bit of robotic description on purpose, the spirits are saying, because it is unnatural.

In fact it is manufactured, this A prototype, this A box; we're trying to fit the circle peg that we're experiencing into a square box. This A prototype or protocol is manufactured. Why?

This is what I'm hearing in the energy: "Well, why would we have it that way, of not being able to look at our lives and just accept them as they are? How did that happen?"

Well of course, there's nature versus nurture.

Humans as an animal that has the gift of critical thinking naturally like to look for patterns, and to duplicate patterns, to create a sense of stability, order, reproductibility, familiarity. It is to create a tribe.

Here’s why this happens: We're searching for ourselves in the patterns in the All That Is that is around us naturally.

We are also nurtured then on top of that: socially, culturally, traditionally through advertising, commercializing, religiously.

All of these different external systems will create their version of what type of paradigm you should be looking at your world through, even if the world that you're experiencing is totally not in alignment with it, totally not.

Let's put all the technical language aside for a second. I'll tell you a story to give an example of a lack of acceptance, what that looks like and the effects:

Johnny is a good boy. Johnny comes from a good family. Johnny gets good grades. Johnny plays good with other kids. Off the street or in sports, Johnny is a good boy.

Johnny goes to a good school. He takes on a good major. He does good and he graduates in a good place in his class.

Johnny gets a good job and Johnny is dating a good girl. Their relationship is going good, so they get married and he has good marriage and everything is good.

What determines the version of Johnny's "good" is completely relative.

As you were visualizing and thinking and going along with that whole story I just told you, what were your versions of what is "good" that were coming up for you?

"I'm making good money. We're having a good marriage. We're going to a good school, getting good grades." But what are your version of good grades?

For some people, their version of good or acceptable is entirely different, beautifully different, entirely different than your idea of what's good. 

What matters most is how you feel.

Know this: If you're judging what a "good life" is based only on someone else's idea of what's good, you're out of alignment.

The frustration and the symptoms of being out of alignment, of being ungrounded, frustrated or non-expressed are going to come out, naturally, because there's a fundamental lack of clarity around what's your definition of what's acceptable and not acceptable.

In previous videos, we were talking about protecting your joy and how one way to do that is to know "what the heck is my joy?"

It's about a defining process. You can do that to the Nth degree and find yourself more by defining yourself than finding yourself in some workshop, some retreat, some book, some person's arms.

You don't go find yourself, you define yourself.

That's what I'm hearing to tell you in the energy. And one way that is really powerful, but very simple, spiritual practice to start this path is by practicing acceptance.

It's very simple: "whatever it is, is what it is."

At first glance, I'm going to sound profoundly pedestrian, but I would challenge you to look a little bit deeper into that phrase, especially if you are not satisfied with your job, with your relationship or partner, with your body, with your finances, with your studies, with the food that you're eating, the place the you live, et cetera.

If you are feeling not satisfied, you need to look into embracing a sense of acceptance, but not to settle.

That is not acceptance. That's reticence. Huge difference, go to thesaurus.com if you don't know what reticence is. But the only thing I'm going to tell you is that one is active and the other is passive.

Check back next week for part 2 of this love letter!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

When you start feeling frustrated with someone who is not doing a "good" job according to your standards, pause and remember that what is "good" or "acceptable" performance is relative to each person.

Take a moment to lovingly go over YOUR standards with that person, assuming they genuinely didn't know.

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

Feeling depressed because of a recent breakup or loss of your job?

Do negative news reports, commercials or traffic jams always have a way of ruining your day?

Wish you could just be plain happy already, without all the setbacks knocking you off your unicorn?

I feel you! It seems like every time you relax or start to make it a beautiful day, something has to come along and “test” you, right?

But what if you’re tired of being tested by Spirit?

Watch the above 10-minute video to begin exploring how you can create and protect your joy, rather than feeling like everyone’s stealing it all the time!

"Things were going so well! Why does this always happen to me?"

Hi! Sensei Victoria with you here from victoriawhitfield.com for your weekly love letter. It's my last day in Negril, Jamaica at Jackie's on the Reef and I wanted to share with you one last vision of the ocean for your Weekly Love Letter.

This week Source is really adamant about you understanding that your number one focus should be protecting your joy.

Just like a bird singing, your joy is your song on this planet. It is your vibration that is unique to you.

Joy is the most powerful vibration other than gratitude that we're capable of emanating as living beings, so you really want to protect the integrity of your joy. That's what Spirit wants you to know right now.

What does it look like when we're not protecting our joy? Basically, it looks and feels like we are driven by whatever happens to us.

If someone has some snide remark to say, immediately you latch onto that and identify with what that person said. Or if there's traffic, all of a sudden the traffic has ruined your day, as if something outside of you can determine the quality and energy of the day that you're having.

Other ways that our joy can be affected or not protected is that we're also dependent on others for our own sense of happiness or self-awareness.

For example, let's say you're in a relationship and your partner decides that it's time for them to leave or time for you to leave, and as you’re parting ways, your identity becomes shaken because you've given them so much power over your life.

Similarly, this can happen in the event of loss of a job. If your position at a certain company dissolves or you're let go, fired, et cetera, or you decide to leave, suddenly your identity shifts and then the depression comes, the anxiety comes, stress comes.

Depression, anxiety, and stress are all forms of dis-ease, by the way, not just disease but dis-ease, or the disturbing of one's sense of ease, peace and calm in any and all areas of life and self.

Know this: Disease becomes present when we are not protecting our joy. #stress #health

Now, in the energy I just heard from someone, "I don't even know what makes me joyful, though, Victoria!" That issue, this week in particular, you want to investigate.

Some examples of things that make me joyful is being outside in nature, and bubbles bring me joy. As most of you know, I have bubbles tattooed on the side of my body because they represent innocent joy. Although it may be fleeting, it's beautiful, full of color, and immediate, so that's what bubbles are to me as my symbol of joy.

Having a symbol anchors an idea or energy in you emotionally, physically and spiritually. It's powerful energywork you can do on yourself and on your life.

Also, speaking to people and learning more about other people's viewpoint bring me joy because I love diversity. I'm a very curious person, so finding out more and learning new things increases my joy. These are all examples for me personally of what brings me joy. Hanging out with family and friends, laughter, being silly, again, are more things that bring me joy.

Here’s the thing though: I actually sat down and took the time to recognize and write out a list of all the things that brings me joy as just Victoria.

It all started when I discovered I like white roses, for example, and how their energy increases my joy.

What brings you joy?

Is there a certain kind of music that you just can't help dancing to?

Is there a certain place that you love to visit that brings you joy?

Or someone that whenever you talk to them or whenever you see them, you just can't help yourself, you're just so happy?

Maybe your children or your animal children bring you so much joy?

Make a list. Source is very clear in the energy right now. Make a list of all the things that bring you joy.

And by the way, joy is also defined by a sense of play.

Oh! I just felt a kickback in the energy from someone in the energy saying, "My life is not playful. This is very serious! I have a very serious life right now. I have a lot to do. I don't know what you're talking about play. I haven't played since I was a kid. Adults don't play."

That's a load of crap. With all due love and respect...CRAP! 🙂

You're playfulness gives you energy, and playfulness protects, cultivates and increases your joy. And joy is the energy of vitality; it is the natural expression of a fulfilled life.

Now, I just heard in the energy, “So why do we care about protecting our joy other than the fact that it is the highest vibration you can possibly emanate as a living being?”

It also has biochemical effects on your body. When you are feeling positive, when you are feeling creative, glowing, playful, in a feeling of humor or positive expectation, all of that that just comes naturally as by-products of being in joy.

Your body regenerates itself, not only in terms of physical healing, but it also creates emotional energy, too, where a day was boring and long and slow-moving, it can speed up and sparkle!

How can you find a way to create joy for yourself? Well, the first resource I'm hearing in the energy is studying the teachings of Abraham Hicks.

Have you've ever checked them out on YouTube? Our energy vibrates strong with Abraham, and their advice is that your first focus is “getting into the vortex,” which is another way of saying being and feeling joyful.

If there's any time that in the middle of your day you're feeling slow or low vibration or exhausted, and you do something that creates joy in you... whoa, nelly!

That shift is better than coffee, even better than wheat grass, to all my hard-core health nuts out there. LOL! It's an injection of vitality, a main-line of energy that comes from nowhere but your own spirit.

Other than the energetic and the biochemical reactions that we have to joy, there are the powerful health effects.

When we are sick in the hospital, the most import thing is to generate joy by any means necessary because that'll get you out of the hospital and out of the sick bed way faster.

The vibration of joy accelerates your recovery process.

Also, one of the spirits is pointing to the emotional effect. It brings you back to center. Joy is a feeling space of being in alignment with your most creative energy within you.

When you are in alignment with your most creative energy, the opportunities, the solutions, are endless. What does endlessness look like?

Think of the ocean – in fact, you can look at her in this week’s video. There is no end, as the ocean goes all the way out to meet the sky and then it continues farther than your eye can see.

When you're in a joy-feeling state, the problems that seem impossible to have solutions naturally just click in. 

Joy accesses and activates more of your brain, and that's why this happens.

Synchronicities and understandings or connections that couldn't have been made otherwise click in because you're activated.

That's the magic of being in joy...

Tune in next week, for the second half of our discussion of protecting your joy, where we go through a few specific techniques for protecting your energy!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Are you too afraid to move on because you feel like you're betraying or losing someone?

Holding on to a relationship, business or idea that is gone or doesn't serve you anymore because it's all you've ever known?

Allowing yourself to be emotionally and spiritually drained by someone you love just so you can keep the peace?

If you said "Yes! That's me!" then Spirit is sending you an opportunity to shift your mindset in a BIG way this year.

In fact, if you can uplevel your mindset around moving on in honesty and in love, you can and will attract More Love and More Money into your life.

Watch the above video to find out what's been holding you back from moving on once and for all!

More Love and More Money - Video Series on Increasing Authentic Abundance

"Out with the old, in with the new" sounds deceptively simple.

In practice, it is much more complicated. Especially when it comes to relationships.

We keep investing and investing, hoping the person will catch up and realize how much we mean to them... And then...

You eventually stumble upon a moment of clarity where you catch yourself still giving your love, time, energy and space to what is actually a stagnant relationship that's draining you. And you think to yourself "how did this happen?"

This draining usually happens when we've outgrown the circumstances of the relationship, but haven't yet admitted that to ourselves.

It's an odd and sometimes lonely feeling to have, evolving and making positive changes our lives.

Things that once worked no longer do, ideas and ways of seeing the world that once made sense don't anymore. If you're not conscious that you're evolving and that your vibration is raising, you may even begin to think there's something wrong with you.

Don't be afraid that you'll stick out like a sore thumb. Embrace shining bright even if it's uncomfortable (at first) because Spirit has more for good things on the way to you!

Look, I'm right there with you. Moving on and raising your vibration can be scary, but this is a time that rocks the boat, by design.

Here's where it really gets confusing, though: we stop ourselves from moving on by conflating our value of loyalty (to others, to our routine) and our fear of change (avoiding the unknown, unfamiliar and new).

So rather than letting go of a relationship or business practice that's not working - or worse yet, is outright harming us - we hold on to what's familiar, no matter how bad it gets, because we're conflating "holding on" with trying to appear "loyal" no matter what.

If your loyalty is draining you, if you are dying to be appreciated, then maybe it's time to accept the situation as is and move on. We need to unplug from trying to "fix it" all the time, and just accept reality.

Otherwise, if you just move on without accepting the situation as is, then you're being irresponsible and avoiding the lesson Spirit is trying to send you through this experience.

So, why can't you accept the person or situation as is?

Know this: Accept it. If you can't move on, that means you don't Trust yourself or Spirit to take care of what's next. #MLMM #BK2YS

Ouch! That was harsh, right? Well, here's the bright side.

Once you realize and accept you lack Trust, you can rebuild it!

And it starts with your relationship with Spirit. It's okay if you don't trust yourself 100% - focus on rebuilding your Trust in the Earth, in the Angels and in Source.

Trust issues can be a big block to receiving not only More Love but also More Money. And you deserve to receive all that you desire that is in alignment with your highest good.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows us one area in particular that Trust Issues come up as you pursue living your life's purpose!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
