This is our final week four of four in our exploration of healing sales, our sales scars and shame around asking for the sale. Healing the bad, crusty experiences that we've had in the past.

If this is the first video that you are seeing in this series, make sure you hit pause, and go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com so that you start from part one and are grounded in this process.

Without further ado, for week four of four, the guides have asked us to continue the conversation that we started last week, and specifically talk about sales as healing. Sales as healing? Holy tomato! For some people, that's about the most opposite possible thing that they could think of when they think of sales. “Are you kidding me? Sales is like you're raiding and pillaging everyone. It's like an attack.”

Sales can be perceived as an attack, and if we've had some negative experiences in the past, in those really powerful transformational moments that come up for us regarding a larger sale such as buying a house or a car, or a coaching program, or a new building, and so on and so forth. If someone's done you wrong in that level sale, that scar runs deep, but in the words of Robert Bly from Iron John- which is amazing if you haven't read it yet – “Every wound is a womb.” Every wound is a womb.

The wounds that we may have received in our past of sales not going very well for ourselves or being done to us - or even witnessing sales happening between others that aren’t ethical - every wound that we receive is actually a womb. And what is a womb? It's a place where new life is created, so that's why we're talking about sales as healing. These wounds that we've received over the course of engaging in commerce are sacred, whether you are an entrepreneur or not. You don't have to own a business to have engaged in the sale. Anything you have, the clothes on your back, glasses, the shoes, underpants on your butt (hopefully, you're not wearing any? No judgment.) you have that because someone sold it to you.

You live in this house because someone sold it. Be kind to yourself. Your education, you have it because someone sold you on having education. But at the same time some of those experiences of being sold, being brought from one paradigm to another through a sale - a sale bridges gaps - that paradigm shift can be a bit traumatic.

But I want to elevate to this vision that the guides are sending for us right now of sales as something entirely different: sales is healing. I really want to drop into my heart and be blunt right now with you, because a lot of my lists of people who are watching these videos, following on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or wherever you are, if it's just landed into your inbox or someone forwarded me to you: nine times out of 10 you're some sort of a teacher, coach, healer, or a caregiver of some sort, right? You support people. You offer a healing presence.

If you are watching or reading this right now, whether you're a hairdresser cutting hair, an accountant doing taxes, or a lawyer working through your cases, whether you're working in construction, or you're like a transformational women's divine feminine coach goddess, or some other service-based business in addition to all of the above. If you're watching and still reading this right now, what magnetized you is not just my lovely exciting shirt and sparkly energy, but it's the fact that you see a piece of you in me. By the way, likewise; I see a piece of myself in you, in that we are Healers. We're here to heal the world. We're here to bring healing presence.

If you are having a hard time receiving financial abundance, it's because you have not shifted your point of view yet around sales. You haven't shifted it yet to see sales as healing. Sales is healing. Now, I'm a Reiki Master, an alternative medicine energy healer. I'm a woo-woo person, and proudly wave my rainbow woo-woo flag. I’m down with unicorns and glitter and high vibrational multi-dimensional energy - all of that, 100%. And the only way that I am able to share all that woo-woo goodness juice with the people who are starving and dried out and like desperate for it – they’re spiritually dehydrated. They need the juice. - is if I get out there and share my gift. If I get out, open up and talk about who I am and what I do, and what I can do for you. That's the purpose of sales.

Sales is actually healing for the people who are thirsty for the juice that you have created. I'm not talking about selling people stuff that they don't need. That can actually turn more into an addiction. I mean, hey, I have an addictive personality. Let me pull myself out the closet and like flap that in the air for you, okay? So yeah, I can have an addictive personality where, oh my gosh, I just want to go, I want to buy a bunch of stuff to alleviate my frustration right now. I want to buy a bunch of information courses and a bunch of books, and a bunch of crystals, right? Maybe that's been you before, and to some extent the things that I'm drawn to are what I need in the moment.

And those people who are out there selling the crystals, the necklaces, the books, the audio courses, the things that are going to lift me back up, I thank the Goddess for them. But I'm not going to be going out there and buying like, you know, sprockets and light bulbs and tires and things when I'm in my emotional state searching for a certain thing. If I need energy, I'm going to go out there looking for things that are going to give me energy for what I'm looking for.

That's the key for sales being healing. It's you putting out “what am I going to help people with? And here it is.” I really appreciate Russell Brunson, his concept of having a Bridge to help us get from that state of “Alright already! I'm in frustration and in trouble” to “here, let's talk about the sale.” Having a Bridge is what's going to help you engage more sales as the healing part of your business. It not only heals your bank account when you close successful sales, but it also is healing for the clients and customers who are receiving exactly what they need.

Having a Bridge, and this comes from Russell Brunson, is to have a phrase that helps anchor in the fact that you are here to help them, and you have something that you would like to help them with. So what is that phrase? It could be asking for permission of someone who, you know, if you're out sharing your gifts and you see they could really use what you are providing, say, "Hey, I see that you have this situation going on. Is it okay if I share with you something that I put together to make things easier for you?” Or, “I put something together to serve you, and I was wondering if you would want to hear more about it?"

Ask for permission. Sales is healing when you always ask permission, first.You want to get consent in guiding someone through their paradigm shift, because the worst thing is pushing someone into a paradigm shift who doesn't want it and isn't ready for it. Sales is healing because we raise the buyer’s vibration. We help people into a new, more empowered reality as long as you're doing it ethically. When done unethically, unfortunately it can become like what we've been talking about for the last few weeks: something that is much more of a scarring experience.

Now, you've got to remember to turn on your natural intuition. Tune into your body. Clear your energy. Listen to your heart. If you feel your heart opening towards someone, feeling compassionate and wanting to help them, listen to that desire, that sensation of oh my goodness, I really want to help them. I feel for them. That's a sign from the Universe to actually take out your bridge, bring it over to them and say, "Hey, I see you're going through this situation. I know about something that could help you”, or “I put this thing together that could really make it easier for you. Is it okay if I share it with you?" Get their consent, and then go ahead, honor them by giving them access to the thing that will help them the most. Sales is so incredibly, powerfully healing. Comment below, send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Let me know what's coming up for you around this.

For now we're going to jump into the Oracle cards. The deck that we've been journeying with is Angels of Abundance by Doreen Virtue, these Oracle cards of Doreen with her son Grant. “Alright, Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about sales as healing and how to activate our natural intuition now, other than reading Victoria's book?” ...Oh, snap. Throwing down some serious love bombs.

Face your financial fears. When you are honest with yourself about fears of success or failure, honest with yourself, they can no longer control you. Be free of hidden fears by exposing them to the light of awareness, and you'll realize that you in fact have nothing to fear, and that every successful person has struggled with and releases these self-doubts. This is where we're going to leave off for the week. The perfect landing point for this series.

You know, when you release fear around sales, receiving more or delivering more sales conversations, when you release that fear and you have faith that this is actually a healing going on, all of that momentum around blocking abundance lifts. Have faith that what you are sharing is healing. Focus on the healing. Don't focus on your fear or on your self-doubt. That'll sabotage you. You'll end up self-sabotaging.

Do the inner work first, though, to get yourself into a space of total faith in the work that you do or in the product that you're talking about. Do the inner work around understanding that when you go into a sales conversation, or when someone's trying to engage you in that, there's a healing going on. Be open to receiving or giving the healing more so than the money, okay? Be more focused on the healing work than the finances, and nine times out of 10 you'll end up closing the sale and the finances will come.

Be kind to yourself if you're afraid of focusing on the healing because you're so afraid of the money. If that's your case, please reach out to me at www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact You can hop on the phone with me and we'll be able to get you sorted and see how we can best support you moving through that fear of receiving.

I'm sending you so much love, blessings and abundance, and I'll see you in the next one.

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

Bye for now.

The post Love Letters | Sales As Healing – Part 4 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Scared?

Afraid to make a #nextlevel move?

Worried that you haven't got what it takes?

I understand; it's a big world out there and it can get scary.

However, you're feeling the fear for a reason, and it's time you learned what that is.

Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video to embrace your fear and step out boldly in life!

"Feel the fear and doing it anyway."

This week, I want to share a special message with you.

I just got back from three weeks in Europe on my first World Love Tour, and my guides have revealed some really powerful lessons with me, that I feel could open your eyes to what's possible in life.

Looking back over my shoulder, I realize that it was one of the best - and the most challenging - experiences of my life.

Talk about fear and being outside of your comfort zone. 

This experience of touring in Europe was a lot of firsts for me:

• Longest time away from my home and country
• Longest time away from my business
• Never been to these places in Spain, Italy, or England before and had no prepared itinerary
• Doing a workshop 100% in translated Italian with no rehearsal
• Don't know anyone except for my 3 hostesses
• No cell or wifi service plan on my phone for 3 weeks, so I have to find wifi areas or borrow other people's phones

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of how out of my comfort zone I was.

And I'll admit it: I was SO scared.

"What have I done? What have I gotten myself in to? Am I going to be safe? What if something happens to me? What if I get lost? What if something happens back home? What if they don't like me? What if..." And on and on...

Do any of these racing, fearful thoughts sound familiar?

Fear is your friend, but She can get caught up protecting an identity that is now obsolete as you move to your #nextlevel. @SenseiWhitfield

I am so grateful for my years of personal energy management training and my spiritual self care practice.

Because I've come to recognize that when the voice of Fear pipes up, She is a sign that I am on the verge of a breakthrough. And the louder She is, the bigger the breakthrough.

I've just come to trust this inner voice knowing that she is a sign of something amazing and powerful to come: I believe She is a sign that I am within my calling and my life purpose. But little did I know what I would find out...

Every World Love Tour stop in Europe this year "just so happened" to coincide with a significant national event.

In Tenerife, Spain, the Love Tour was with a group of British expats on holiday the day after the Manchester bombing.

In Venice, Italy, the Love Tour was the same day as the massive festival Festa Della Sensa (Ascension Day).

In London, England, the Love Tour was the day after the terror attack on London Bridge.

We didn't plan that. And we couldn't.

The logical answer would have been to cancel the Love Tour stop at each location, that is, if we're basing our logic on Fear.

But these frightening, daunting events were opportunities to make a choice and a statement about what do I base my decisions on: fear or love?

You know me by now.

You know I chose Love.

I felt the fear, and chose love anyway.

And those three Love Tour Stops ended up being some of the most powerful and profound healing circles I've ever facilitated to date.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because this week in particular, Source is calling you to your next level, to a difficult or uncomfortable decision, and you will need to feel the fear and do it anyway.

How do you do that?

By feeding your faith, finding your joy, and seeing the Love - especially in the darkness.

The word "shaman" comes from the Siberian Tungus Tribe and it translates as "one who sees in the dark."

It's time for you to step in to being the Shaman, to being the bold, visionary healing presence radiating hope in your life and in your community.

And I want to hear all about it 🙂

Tired of the same old routine?

Heavy news stories got you down?

Find yourself fighting off loneliness and depression?

You have WAY more power than you think, you Unicorn, you!

Negative energy is nothing compared to your secret superpower — FLIRTING!

Watch this week's 9-minute love letter to shine you joyful light in an otherwise dark, cold world!

"I'm tired of my routine."

Have things been feeling a bit grey and boring lately?

Things can get very heavy as we're focused on work, or other people, and our relationships, or as being the anniversary of us having lost someone, etc.

Source is sending some inspiration your way for this week in particular.

It is: flirt with the world! You ready? Let's do this, okay.

Flirting, and this is not necessarily, like, "Okay, we're going to get all in everybody's pants." No, no, no, no.

Flirting is simply having fun and making light. Making light, where there was darkness, making light. Lightening the mood, having a sense of humor, silliness, adventure, cheekiness, right?

Flirt with the world. Perhaps it's that mid-day slump, and you're feeling low on energy. It's time to do something silly. The way that you flirt with the world is not even necessarily with anybody else.

Guess what? It's with you first. How in the world does one flirt with themselves? We could hold up a mirror and we're like, "Oh, my. Look at you."

Whatever makes you want to laugh, or if it's making a silly face, right? Something that makes you want to laugh. Bring the joy to your life. Don't wait for someone else to bring it to you.

Here's the thing that can make relationships, whether they're intimate or platonic go really, dead, boring, whether it's your relationship with another person, or even your business, right.

You wait for the other half of the relationship, right? The business, the person, the child, the animal, et cetera, to always be on, or you'll lean on and depend, the other side, to be flirtatious, fun, silly, adventurous, and spontaneous, right? We'll fall into that kind of a routine.

Come on! Pick the ball up! You can do this. Stacey Martino and Paul Martino who are at relationshipdevelopment.org rock, and they really master on sharing about relationships, and bringing the spark, or as they call, the s-flirt, back to our relationships. Go check them out, by the way. Have so much love and respect for them.

This week in particular, it's about you, however. Bring the flirt in you back. Flirt with your reflection.

Flirt with people at the party. Just make jokes and laugh. Try yourself out. You really can.

Now, I'm getting some kickback in the energy right now, I don't know who is watching this and being like, "Girl, you done gone off the deep end", or, "I don't know how to flirt." If you have a sense of humor, or if you've ever laughed at something, yeah, you can flirt.

It's having a sense or the ability to laugh at yourself, and engage, and be spontaneous, and bring that energy out. Bring the joy. How do you bring joy? If you were to flirt with someone. It's not just like a, "Da da da". No, no, no. This is not seduction flirting. This is just having fun and being silly. Another way that you can find yourself flirting if you're not used to it, is maybe with a baby.

You're sort of, "Hey, sweetheart! How are you! Oh, my gosh, look at you." The weird, gooey things that we do to those poor children, and puppies, and kittens, et cetera. Whatever makes you laugh. This week in particular, though, you are being called on by source to make light. I'm not just talking about making light and joking about a situation, even if it's quite heavy, right, but to bring light as a light worker.

Know this: Bring joy to you life; don't wait for it. Have fun and make light where there was darkness. Shine bright!

That is who you are. You're here to bring more joy, more love, more healing, more connection into this planet. It's up to you. Don't wait for somebody else to do it. Calm down, Victoria.

The guides are about to jump through the camera and say, "Wake up!", right? For now, we're going to go to the oracle cards, because they're, "toot, toot", tucking on my shirt. Our angels, angel therapy by Doreen Virtue, one of 19 decks here at the Dojo.

Let's hear it. Let me pull out the cards here.

Angels, what do we need to know about flirting with the world this week? Why in the world is source telling us to do that?

Ooh la la! This is excellent! Ready?

Shield yourself.

This is pretty ninja, I didn't know that they were going to pull that out. We're coming from, like, the fifth dimension now, fifth level conversation right now. Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.

Here's where we're going to leave off.

Bringing light, making light, flirting with the world, and just deciding to have fun all by yourself, with yourself, is actually an advanced form of energetic protection.

This is psychic self defense, on the sneaky side. My students and I, we have this expression, we call it "the sneaky reiki" that we do in the background. That's actually one of the sneaky reiki, this under the radar techniques for actually shielding your energy from negativity, is actually bringing joy and bringing light.

Raising the vibrations. Start with you first. Flirt with yourself. Enjoy yourself as if you were someone that you were flirting with, who you really liked.

Blessed be if you're someone who is not exactly comfortable with yourself, but pretend that you're hot to trot, and you're the funniest thing on the planet, and you're going to laugh at whatever in the heck you're about to say next. Try it on for size. Do an experiment, right?

Don't commit, fine. Don't commit, just test, see if you like it, and notice how your vibration raises, and you end up actually rising above all the Krusty Krab negativity that could be floating around you. It'll just, "whoop", repel off.

Send me an e-mail back, comment below, what do you think? Have you tried flirting with the world around you, and yourself? What was the result?

Was it an awkward, hot, delicious mess? Was it a delicious everything?

I would love to hear your stories, oh my gosh. Please spread light, because you are a light worker. Subscribe on YouTube, so that you get your love letters first every week, and from one light worker to another, ready for it?

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Reaching for coffee and sweets for a "pick me up" lately?

Always find yourself feeling sluggish in the middle of the afternoon?

Or perhaps you're having trouble feeling fueled on your vegan-vegetarian diet?

Everyone knows that if they want to be more healthy, they should eat more fruits and vegetables.

But what about eating not just to be healthy, but instead eating for increased energy?

Watch this week's 8-minute love letter to learn about eating "light", literally, to supercharge your energy!

"I have such low energy lately."

This week Source's really interesting message for you and it's about your level of self-care of your physical body. You ready for it?

Eat More Photons.

What!? What in the world? Eat more photons.

It's often times throughout the year we tend to want to get on a health kick or it's time to try a new diet or take of our body and make sure that she's feeling robust and full and well fueled, etc., but the guides came forward this week in particular about your energy.

You may have been asking or you may be asking for this week in particular, "I really need help. I'm feeling kind of low energy. What in the world do I do," etc., etc.

They're saying eat more photons. Now, Dr. Mercola, he talks about bio-photons and he's interviewed his mentor on it and spoken at length, so there's more on that from him. He's a wonderful resource. If you haven't learned about Dr. Mercola, go check him out about the health of your body.

My guides in particular, rather than saying bio-photons, they're saying photons, so all my scientists out there, let's talk. What are photons?

Photons are particles of light energy, so if you've been feeling tired or exhausted or maybe it's that time of the day, you know, what's it 2:00, 3:00 pm around where you're at and you just feel exhausted, ready to reach for a coffee, etc. before you reach for that extra sugary or caffeinated something to give you a boost, tell yourself, "I need to eat more photons."

Are there photons in your coffee or are there photons in your cookie? Here's how you can tell. Photons are particles of light, right? They're the energetic way of describing what light is made out of. Tiny little photons of light energy.

Photons, if they are light then, have to be found inside of things that have interacted with light, aka, who's our main light source? Big guy in the sky. The sun.

It's easy to say, "Eat more fruits and vegetables or etc.," and that's great. However, when you cook one of those, people, their photons leave. That has a escape out. It's captured within the raw foods, so when you feel tired, rather than grabbing a coffee, which has no photons in it or rather than grabbing a cookie or a candy, which of course, has no photons in it, or rather than eating some cooked greens or soup, etc., that's keeping very, very healthy.

Remember that it's energy that your body is looking for. This is how she powers herself is light. You are actually made of light, so when you feel that energy dip, this week in particular, guides are telling me to ask you try eating something that has more photons in it and see how your body responds.

This doesn't mean go on a raw foods diet. I've been in and out of eating raw food and in and out of being vegan and in and out of ... This is something that, if you try to tend towards perfection, you're going to max yourself out.

Be kind to yourself. Just run an experiment this week in particular. Try it. See how your body responds to when you feed her light versus when you feed her jut calories.

The oracle cards deck, of course, is Archangel Raphael. Is the Archangel of healing. Let's see, my good man, what in the world do we need to know this week in particular, about eating more photons.

What's coming up? They said don't shuffle any farther. That's pretty straight forward.

Improving health.

Who would've thought and of course, he's out there, out in nature with everybody who are eating solar energy, right, and capturing the photons.

Dear Archangel Raphael, Thank you for comforting reassurance about this situation. This is really important that this card is about bringing up comfort.

For those of you who think, "I don't like it. I don't want to have to do another thing, etc."

This is not meant to put another thing on you that you have to do. This is about loving and healing your body. It's an opportunity to raise the vibration of how you care for yourself.

Another thing that's coming through in the energy around comfort, comforting yourself, is to talk to someone else who is having this experience. How do they engage their energy level at that time in the day when it dips, when they're exhausted? What do they do? What's been their experience?

Let's come together around eating more photons.

Engage them. It's a pretty bizarre thing to ask. Like, "Have you gotten your photons yet today?" I double dare you to ask them that. Let's comfort each other and connect along this issue.

Comment below. Post below. Let me know if you've asked someone. What was their reaction? Did they laugh or get confused? I'd love to hear it.

All right. I'm sending you so much light energy.

Make sure that you subscribe on Youtube, so you get your love letters first every week. I'm sending you big hugs. See you soon.

Know this: You are actually made of light.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Struggling to manifest something BIG?

Wondering what's wrong with you, that it hasn't happened yet?

Or do you suspect that everyone else knows something you don't know about manifesting abundance?

Napoleon Hill artfully says: "Anything the mind can believe and conceive it can achieve!"

But what happens when you've been thinking and thinking about what you want, and it hasn't come yet?

Watch this week's 9-minute love letter video to learn about a secret ingredient you may have missed: sacred containers!

"Why isn't the manifestation coming yet?"

This week, source really wants you to know about sacred containers. Sacred containers.

I was just in a session with one of my students here at the Dojo, and the topic came up about manifesting. This concept that my guides have taught me called sacred containers.

Perhaps you are new to all of these types of stuff, and let me give you a super fast overview so that I can, after the overview go back to full woo.

I believe I am a master manifester. In fact, I'm known for manifesting big, wonderful, juicy awesome things. Whatever I asked for I manifest that or something better, and so it is. I'm sitting inside one giant manifestation, the Dojo herself was something that I manifested. This is not something that I manifest by myself, no, it's a group vortex that we rev up until it comes together into a physical reality.

What a manifestation simply is is bringing intention via attention to physical reality or manifestation. Intention, attention, manifestation.

This is how it works. One of the components, foundational components then to making your vision concrete, into something that you can touch, one of the foundations is having a sacred container. By the way, we're playing with creation.

If you're an entrepreneur, you're an artist or you're someone who's highly visionary, you love playing with creation.

You and me, we're right here. If you want to amp us up, you might be missing a foundation and that's your sacred container. You have your vision, your big big juicy vision, we love it, and we have your attention. Sometimes as long as you can keep up the shiny objects and stay on that big, bright and shiny object, great, but the manifestation isn't there yet.

You might be thinking to yourself, “why isn't the manifestation coming just yet?" It's one of the foundations, it's called the sacred container. I can feel somewhat ... Feeling right now watching like, "All right, tell me what is it, I'll buy one."

I just heard someone say, "Well, where do you buy these sacred containers?" Oh my gosh, if that was you, I'm feeling you.

What a sacred container is, it's a concept. Like all concepts, in and of themselves they don't really exist, what they're built on doesn't exist. As soon as you have that concept, you can create things because of it. This is very simple, are you ready for this?

A sacred container has two components: time and space. That's it. Both of these things, time and space, don't exist but they are necessary.

When infused with your intention, they are necessary to create the container to receive your intention. So intention, attention, manifestation. How? Have the sacred container to catch it. You may not have simply dedicated a time and a space to catch what your intention and attention are trying to bring to you.

It can literally, literally be that simple. You might have been working really hard, and setting up structures and things like that but there is no time or space that you have dedicated.

Know this: Equation to ground vision into reality. "Intention + Attention = Manifestation"

How to do this? This is a very cursory introduction. We're having that conversation with my student just now, and there's more to it if you want to know more.

(By the way, send me an email back, senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com or comment below. Do you want to know more about how to manifest things? I'll tell you more if you ask.)

For now, the oracle cards are coming through and they'd love to weigh in on what the heck are sacred containers and why this week in particular you need to know this.

It's the messenger oracle cards deck, one of many gifted decks here. I love, love, love. Thank you Christoff for your gift.

Guides, what do we need to know right now about why you're bringing up this concept of sacred containers to all our master manifesters watching?

They said, "Don't shuffle that card."

Know you belong.

Look at how magical this creature is, it's like a cat-dragon. Awesome creature.

What movie from the '80s am I thinking of where he could fly through the air and you sit on his back? Comment below, let me know what movie from the '80s am I thinking of. It's this long dragon, he didn't have wings, but he could fly. He had this deep man's voice. Only the chosen few know what I'm talking about here. 

Know you belong, you have place, you have purpose, you are special. Do not change who you are just so others might accept you. Do not dishonor your truths by allowing someone else to tell you who you must be.

Change made just so you fit the expectations or social criteria of a clique or a group does not honor you. You do not need to change in order to belong. You are a blessed child of Gaia and of great Spirit and belonged simply because you are, right?

Because you exist. Here is where we're going to leave off.

The guides are saying you belong, you are who you are. On purpose for a purpose, it's just mastering who you are.

Don't worry about what so and so is creating over there, you are a creator, you've got this. You're watching us because you apparently are a manifester, you're a master manifester. You belong, you really are in that category. You wouldn't be able to see this if you weren't.

The guides really want to assert this and let you know that this is who you are and that you've got to focus on mastering therefore who you are as a creator. Focus on learning more about that.

I have to reiterate, they're telling me to reiterate then. If that's you, if you're resonating with it, post below, comment back, tell me what do you want to learn more about.

Are you ready to learn how to manifest more this year in particular? Send me an email back and comment below and I will absolutely do it. Tell me what things you want to know specifically too so I could channel into them.

Happy to share, otherwise, I'll see you next week and get ready for it. Mwah. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Secretly mad about something?

Hiding how pissed off you are to appear "polite" and not rock the boat?

Tired of putting on a happy face for everyone?

From an early age, most of us are taught that our anger is wrong, bad and should be tamped down.

So we hide that fiery energy in our minds and bodies and this can lead to dis-eases of many kinds.

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter video to learn how to honor your anger in a healthy way!

"I feel so blocked. I don't know what the problem is."

This week it's important for you to honor your anger. Honor your anger.

Now you may be watching this and be the most happy and positive person you know. I'm sure you're just like me where you love to spread sunshine and positive energy and because of that there's nothing wrong, right?

No one ever makes you angry. In fact, I bet you can't even remember the last time you were actually angry or even showed any anger. 😉

How hard do you smile when you do share your smile? Is it like this or are you sharing your joy with ease?

Are you pushing that sunshine and positive energy out of you? Or is it naturally flowing out with a sense of ease, abundance and just spilling out of you? Or could we be pushing?

If you feel like you're pushing to be positive, keep listening because rather than being the happiest person you know you just might be the angriest person you know.

Get this. Did you know that most highly sensitive individuals, those who are energy workers, healers, body workers, people who have a servant's heart and are really here for a healing purpose are in fact the angriest persons on the planet? They're the angriest people.

Yes, really. Zen master that you see doing her yoga Zen thing or his yoga Zen thing actually is pretty darn angry.

It's interesting because that intense fire energy is what motivates the person to give so much. It motivates us, you, to be that change that you wish to see in the world, to really want to clean up and have the nice house that's all put together and everything where it's supposed to be.

It's that fire energy that motivates you to get to the gym everyday or to get into your yoga practice everyday. It's that fire energy of anger filling up your empathic sense and you think it's other people's negativity but I'm here to tell you, you actually need to honor your anger.

There's nothing wrong with anger. In fact anger is quite beautiful, just like fire.

Now, you can have in a fireplace the ability to admire the fire safely and have it warm your environment and really bring more of a sense of beauty and sensuality to your space. That fire energy, just oh my god, I love fireplaces, they're so sensual. It's wonderful, right?

So grounding or you could have it spread in her own divine feminine way consuming everything in her path destructively such as a forest fire where oh crap or the house is caught on fire because of one little thing, one little trigger and she just starts consuming all of the fuel that confirms her anger energy and just explodes out or perhaps if there's enough fuel.

Be kind to yourself. It's time to honor your anger and see the beauty in her.

Now as I'm talking to you, you're like this love letter is totally not for me. Hold on a second.

Anger that is not honored can show up in sneaky ways and we cover these ways in many different love letters but in particular we're talking about anger this week but it's suppressed energy. When you want to stop watching porn for example, stop supressing and use systems from pornaddiction.co.uk.

Suppressed energy can affect your sexual libido, can give you achy joints, neck, jaw, head and eye tension, tensed pelvis, let's see, what else? We're just going to go down the list.

Water retention, excess weight holding, insatiable appetite. We just keep eating and for some reason we're not getting built. Repressed anger energy can also come up as feeling blocked or confused, craving a sense of clarity that we just can't seem to get.

Know this: Anger that is not honored can manifest in sneaky ways, such as inflammation, aches, apathy and confusion.

I'm just really trying to clarify my message but I can't quite get to it because I'm blocked. No, actually, you have some anger in you to release.

This week in particular, it's time for you to honor your anger.

Now the oracle cards are coming in the energy. It's the Indigo Angel Oracle cards deck.

This is actually a really great oracle cards deck for working through our anger.

I just saw the image in the energy of an iceberg and this is how engaging your anger works.

You may think you've gotten to it. Like I'm mad about this but there's a whole … like the little iceberg on top, the split image and then the big, big cavernous iceberg underneath the water. There's layers and layers and layers of anger energy that you can release.

Trust. And they're telling me to read.

The trust card comes up.

Oh boy, I could feel someone on the other side of the screen being like, "oh God, what are we going to find out now." Take a deep breath in and exhale.

This card asks you to trust that there's a purpose to life right now. The guy just saying that there's a purpose to your anger. Keep faith that the chaos you see around you has an underlying meaning and divine design. When times are hard, naturally sensitive people can feel that the world has been orchestrated to work against them and that nothing is fair. The truth is that your viewpoint has not yet expanded enough to put your problems into perspective. As you age, you'll see that what seems overwhelming and unbearable now is only a minor hitch. Trust that there's so much more out there including magical experiences for you available to you right now. You will see how balanced the world has the potential to be when you look for them. Take this card as a reminder to persevere, stay strong and believe in yourself because the world needs you more than you may know.

And here's where we'll end.

The gift of your anger, just like fire, is that it brings light to the world.

Do you ever notice that when you really honor your anger and confront it, stand in it, you're so clear about what you're mad about? Magically and your body generates clear sensations and feelings to expel and express that anger. You need to trust that that is actually for your positive gain and that your anger is not something that is inherently bad.

In the past you've been told that being angry is bad. It's not what good boys do and it's certainly unladylike to be angry. It's natural.

You see it out in the wild and animals all the time, they process through that ferocity, ferociousness, right, and allow it to move right through them but do they stay in that or like suck it in? No, they express and they use it to break through whatever is in their way. Some healthy ways to express your anger include exercise or screaming in your car with the windows closed by yourself as you drive, writing it out, drawing, tearing up pieces of newspaper that belong to you.

Post below what are some examples of ways that you process your angry in a healthy way.

Do you go to a kickboxing or an MMA class? Do you dance it out? Share how you process that fire energy that you naturally have so that as a tribe we can come together and let it go. Okay?

I'm sending you so much love, subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week and I'll see you next time. Bye. Happy angering.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Honor Your Anger appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Hate the thought of public speaking?

Often find yourself hiding your feelings and downplaying your achievements when around others?

Known as the "good listener / friend" do you cheer on everyone else around you to keep the attention off you?

Source says you have a story to tell, and that your story can help people.

But it takes courage to speak up, at the risk of being judged.

Watch this weeks 9-minute love letter video to learn why you should share your story!

"It's been hard for me to talk about that difficult situation."

This week it's time for you to share your story. It's time.

In the energy I'm hearing that you had a story that you've been burying in you heart. Holding close to you, one that is the story of who you are, how you created who you are. From a personal development standpoint, right?

There is a story of how you overcame and also what you're going through now, right? What your challenges are now.

That story, you've been burying down, hiding from others to make sure that others feel safe in your presence that they feel like they can shine while you watch them and shine vicariously through them.

You're not going to let your story out because it's hard to tell the truth.

It's hard to own your story, or even see your story as something that is a consistent string that has a moral to it or a message to it.

It's said, perhaps we're at the moment where we're seeing our stories just like a system of events and random experiences that have happened to us instead of a string of pearls that have been arranged for us.

Source says your story, should you choose to share it, can heal someone. In fact not just one person, but many.

You have permission to shine, permission to speak and permission to be contagious. Yeah. Permission to be contagious.

It's important that you speak, share your energy.

Know this: You have permission to shine, to speak and to share your story! 

We all need to hear about your gift, how you overcame because when we hear the perspectives of others, speaking from the perspective of the community. When we hear others stories it's inspiring, it's intriguing, it's connecting, right?

We all have a story and this week in particular some how in some way you are going to be challenged, the opportunity is going to come to you to share your story. I'm behind you saying, "Go for it! Go for it! Go for it!"

The oracle cards this week are calling in the energy to weigh in also on this topic.

Several decks wanted to come forward, so we had to like say, "All right, one at a time, who is really going to speak this week?" The one that shone the brightest in the energy was actually the Crystal Oracle. Our stone family is coming to help ground your ability to speak with some good Earth energy.

Speaking of grounding, Red Jasper, oh my gosh!

They didn't even let me shuffle. They said, "Pull the bottom card." Red Jasper. Let's see what this has to say. Holy Moly.

The root chakra is red, red like Jasper, so this is a perfect card for the root chakra.

The guides are saying we're bringing forward and infusing your life with more root chakra energy, so that when you speak you speak in a grounded way. You're not wandering around and trying to make sense of your story, but instead when you share your story, it has a message to it. It's grounded, clear, not, "Oh, I don't remember... blah, blah, blah."

One way that you can clear your story for yourself first is to write it down.

It's much more grounding to do that. To write it out before speaking it. Let's see what's going on with Jasper here.

"Red Jasper represents nurturing caring, protection, energy flow and life force. You may soon find yourself drawn into a situation in which you feel compelled to care for and protect someone who is in need of help. This may be a person or a pet that has recently suffered some kind of trauma and is suffering from anxiety or depression. Your love and attention, your story will help them heal and simultaneously you will subconsciously heal an aspect of yourself that is also yearning to be nurtured. What is being healed is an emotional trauma you experienced in the past, possibly in your childhood, or it may even stem from a past life. There is no need to recollect the past or to try to figure anything out, remember that we each mirror one another and self healing automatically occurs when we care for another's needs. Trust in the healing power of love."

It looks like this is where we'll end.

It's not that your sharing your story necessarily with the world. Someone in need of the healing wisdom that only comes through experience that you have. Someone in need of the healing wisdom that you have is going to come across your path this week.

I urge you to have the courage to share your story with them so that both of you may be uplifted.

Them being uplifted in the hearing of your best practices and being able to learn before their situation gets worse. And you healing because you get to take what was originally a very difficult and trying situation for you and transmute it into love, encouragement and healing by sharing it with another.

Send me an email back, comment below, let me know what's coming up for you.

Or share your story with me. I have a free share your story call with is a half hour session where you get to tell me what's going on with you and see perhaps in the sharing of that story how we can help and make it even better.

Please, open your heart, open your throat chakra. Open your root chakra. Open them all!

Share all that lovely energy that you've been blessed with. I believe in you, I know you can do it.

All right, sending you so much love and healing, and muah! See you next week!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Are you scared of letting go?

What, or who, do you need to let go?

Feeling strained and drained trying to keep it all together on your own?

Holding on to things, experiences and people indefinitely gets exhausting and can fast-track burnout.

Not only is holding on exhausting, but it actually goes against your Nature.

Watch this week's 8-minute Love Letter to learn why you can't let go, and how to do it!

"I just can't let it go!"

Hi there! Sensei Victoria Whitfield here and this is your Love Letter from The Dojo at Naturalintuition.com, your source for channeled holistic stress management techniques and spiritual guidance for developing your Natural Intuition.

This week Source wants you to have a bit of a meditation on Letting Go.

This is a very, very sensitive topic that the energy wants us to address this week in particular.

Pause for a moment.

When I say, "Let go," or "Let it go," what comes up for you? What do you need to let go in this moment?

Close your eyes just for a moment. Take a deep breath in. Exhale.

Again, inhale and thinking of the word, "Let." Exhale thinking of the word, "Go."

One more. Breathing in “Let” and exhale “Go.”

Be kind to yourself. Letting go is never, ever easy. It is always a learning experience. Letting go of anything is always an opportunity for practice, for training, for experience.

The guides are saying, "For this week in particular, and if only just for now, when you think of letting go replace it with, 'Letting flow.'"

If you find that when someone nonchalantly tells you, "Let it go. Let it go," or something like that and your inner Control Enthusiast comes roaring up inside you, screeching, "I can't let it go! He did me wrong!" or "I can't let her go. She means the world to me. She's not supposed to be gone!" – whether it feels like a crazy control or a "Please don't leave me” control – then that means it’s time to be a little bit more kind to yourself.

Remember #BK2YS? Yeah. 🙂

Showing a little bit more love for ourselves heals us first, so that we can spread love. Let it flow. Let it flow.

Whenever there's something that we need to let go of, it's because there is energetic congestion somewhere in our life. 

By the way, there is no such thing – and I need you to stop saying this if you've been saying it recently – there's no such thing as being blocked.

Know this: You are not "blocked." You're choosing to feel blocked. Choose flow, if only just for #now. #tbt #letgo #bk2ys @SenseiWhitfield

Look at quantum physics and it’s explanation of the makeup of solid structures.

Solids are simply comprised of tiny molecules that are vibrating at the right enough speed to appear solid to us. Solid molecules are not blocked. They are not stationary, stagnant, or stopped, or static in any way, shape, and form.

All of life is in a constant state of motion. Some motion, however, from our vantage point may appear and look like it's being solid or stopped.

The status of being blocked is always, always, always – hear me when we say this – is always an emotional choice.

What? That means I'm responsible for feeling blocked?

Yeah. There's always a choice.

Somewhere within you and even if you have to dig and wait for it to come up, there's a conscious choice you’re making to decide to be blocked and feel blocked.

Your “being” state is simply a choice.

I'm hearing the oracle cards coming in the energy, wanting to weigh in on this topic about instead of letting go, let it flow.

“Earth Magic Oracle Cards” by Steven Farmer is the deck of the week.

When I was asking all the 16 and counting decks here at the Dojo – by the way, we're always accepting donations – who wanted to come forward and who's energy do we need the most for letting go or letting flow to help us understand it, it was the nature energy that stood out from this deck.

 

The #oracle card of the week for you is "Spring Equinox: Rebirth" - Source says this is a time of rebirth and reinvention for you, but you have been resisting the necessary steps you need to take to allow your next level to come through. What are you avoiding? And why?

Oracle Card of The Week: “Spring Equinox: Rebirth”

Take a look at how she's got the rabbit and the butterfly and all those other incredible awesome things surrounding her abundantly.

This is what Source is saying right now: the reason why Spring is able to present all of that rebirth is that she is flowing with the seasons.

She is allowing the rebirth, the new energy, the new processing to come through all that dead energy.

Here in Jersey we do have four seasons, and during the winter things look really dead. Like, really dead! LOL!

Then, when springtime comes – like in Newark for the cherry blossom festivals – it's absolutely just this incredible explosion of beautiful life, right out of what seemed to be blocked or dead, but what was actually just momentarily, let’s say, “recalibrating.” Put it that way, to use a GPS word. 😉

Be kind to yourself.

In life right now you may feel you are being called to let go of something significant.

But instead let it flow through you, because Source is saying that's a rebirth.

No matter how small that rebirth may appear in your life, allowing the flow of life to flow through you is something that can really help you with letting go.

Now, send me an email back, or comment below here, and answer:

• What's coming up for you that you need to let it go and let it flow?
• Is this something around physical health, or relationship, or financial health?
• Could it be something spiritual relational?
• What's the difference to you between letting it go versus letting it flow? How does the difference between those two expressions feel to you?

I'm really curious to see your responses.

Sending you big hugs and love!

The post Love Letters | Letting Go appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Wondering exactly how you can create a happy, healthy life, sooner rather than later?

Feeling anxious and unsafe, as if you're constantly worried that other people or circumstances are going to steal your joy?

Do you know that you need to have stronger boundaries to better protect your positive energy, but don’t know where to start?

When we as spiritual seekers, sensitives and empaths start exploring psychic self-defense, it’s usually because we’ve experienced being overwhelmed or drained energetically, and we want to protect ourselves from that happening again.

But protecting yourself is very different than shutting down or shutting everyone out; mastering your energy entails more than taking the “all or nothing” approach to spiritual and emotional energy management.

Watch the above 11-minute video to learn how balance protecting your energy WHILE staying open!

"My precious! My PRECIOUSSSS!” – Gollum"

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 this week we are picking up on last week’s discussion of protecting your joy.

It's very powerful to be in your joyful space, but you have to protect your joy.

What does that mean? The first image in the energy that I get from off of the Tribe is, "Well, you know, I'm not going to pay attention anybody else but me!" Whoa there!

We have an impulse to block out others, or to avoid all negative stuff. We go overboard, thinking: "I can't talk to that person, because they're crazy," or, "I can't go outside, because everyone's going to steal my joy."

Let's be clear. Protecting your joy doesn't mean isolating yourself.

To do so, as we said last week, the first step is to learn about what exactly is your joy and what it looks and feels like, second is to engage it actively throughout each day, and third is to apply your joy to counteract low-vibe situations and experiences.

Those three steps, Source is saying, are how you protect your joy, just by having an active engaging relationship with her.

You don't have to put her in a box and hide it in the corner, obsessing like Gollum "I'm protecting my joy! My precious, my precious is safe!" No, no, no, no, no.

The way that you protect your joy is by being with her, or being with him – however you gender your joy. (By the way, I prefer using gendered pronouns over the use of “it” because it person-alizes your relationship with each noun. Send me an email at SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com if you want to know more.)

Now I'm hearing the Oracle cards for this week calling in the energy.

Whenever I travel I always have at least one oracle cards deck with me, and this one is Wisdom of The Hidden Realms by Colette Baron-Reid. It's a wonderful deck, very direct guidance, beautiful illustrations; I highly recommend it. This is a personal deck of mine, so I'm so happy to get to share this with you.

As always, to use oracle cards we first pray over the cards and ask Source, Spirit, and Nature to tell us what do we need to know, knowing that we are open to receiving guidance, and then we shuffle the cards.

I enjoy the fact that I am not the best shuffler ever; it doesn't have to be blackjack style and all that. It's a natural intuitive practice that is meant to be imperfect, and not a performance, lol!

The card that is coming through for this topic is “The Metal King.”

This is so appropriate, because he has to do with having and cultivating discipline, armor, and boundaries. Here’s the accompanying reading from the book:

The Metal King is strong and arrives to lend you his impenetrable shield of protection.

Protect your joy! Well, I wonder why the Energy has drawn out this card? What a "coincidence." 😉 By now, you should know there's no such thing as coincidence!

So let's read more:

No matter who sends you criticism or jealousy, you will not be hurt. This ally --

Oh, someone in the Energy just stopped me there. Those are another two things that tend to steal our joy: being preoccupied with other people's criticism and other people's jealousy.

Here’s the thing: if someone is critical of you, or jealous of you, that means that they notice you.

Let's just turn that around for a second. It's OK if someone is trying to be critical of you – we're not condoning their criticism if it is harmful – however, we have to notice something in this that could increase your joy.

Criticism and jealousy received means that you are doing something big and noteworthy.

Use this idea as your take-away from the criticism, instead of taking on their crap, and it can cultivate and increase your joy.

Think instead to yourself: "No, that's OK. I see that you see me, I see that you have an opinion. Go ahead over there with that. That has nothing to do with me, but I appreciate the fact that you are validating that I'm doing something big right now, or doing something noteworthy, whereas maybe you're not."

Oftentimes people criticize or feel jealous of us because they don't have the drive or the confidence enough to do what you're doing, and it speaks to the insecurity within them and tugs at it.

You're out shining brightly, whereas they're still hiding. Criticism and jealousy says more about the criticizer or the jealous person than you. So laugh, and let it go.

Let me continue the oracle card reading, then:

This ally also prompts you to think about setting healthy boundaries. When you do, no matter how uncomfortable that task may be, everyone benefits. He asks you to make sure you know where you end and others begin. Other's emotions are NOT yours.

By the way, that's a message straight to all of my empaths who are watching and reading right now: Other's emotions are not yours.

If you’re an empath, you may go out to places or speak to someone and then leave from them and still carry all of the energy and the emotion of that space. Let it go.

When you hold on to and analyze their energy in you, that's a waste of your time and energy, because our focus is on other people's problems that we're taking responsibility for emotionally and mentally.

Find a way to clear yourself, whether it's being outdoors, or taking a shower, or doing a mediation, writing in your journal, whatever your clearing ceremony is. If you need to know more techniques, then maybe email back or comment below, I'm happy to share.

The oracle card reading continues:

Other's emotions are not yours, no matter how empathetic you may be. Another of The Metal King's messages is to remind you how important it is to have a healthy sense of self-esteem. It is a good time to shine and be proud of what you have accomplished.

In the energy, Spirit is asking you to be clear about what self-esteem is for you.

That's a bit of an overused term, I'm hearing, so let's reword that as self-awareness: a loving self-awareness, not a self-consciousness with the negative connotation.

You do want to be conscious, but not shrinking, putting yourself down or hiding yourself with your self-awareness.

Instead, draw your eye inwardly and do what we said last week: write that list out of what makes you joyful and begin interacting actively with that list.

The act of writing that list is going to create clear boundaries organically for you, through self-knowledge. 

And self-knowledge is always empowering.

Know this: You don't have to shut people out in order to have healthy #boundaries.  On the contrary, being who you really are creates clear boundaries!

So many of us sensitive, loving, spiritual individuals have terrible boundary issues. I've been working on mine, so I'm included in this bunch – I am right there with you!

We want to help, we want to fix everybody, or we're so afraid of being overwhelmed by other's energy that we want to avoid everybody to the point where we just scream "I hate people!" and go lock ourselves away for a while, lol! You know?

Hey, I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt. But that's not the master path. Instead, that's letting your sensitivity, which is a gift from Spirit, run your life rather than embracing it and becoming more a partner in the experience of that energy.

Rather than being a slave to or a victim of your sensitivity, engage your joy, know your joy, and by doing so, you will protect your joy. And the earth needs ways more joy, way more.

I can feel the trees and the ocean and the coral reef down here at Jackie’s On The Reef in Negril, Jamaica agreeing, saying: "Send more joy! We're doing our best, but you're joy generators; it's very unique amongst humans.”

So, I'm curious to hear: what's your list of things that make you joyful? What are going to be the things that are non-negotiable that you feel are a daily prescription of things that make you happy?

Share them with your TRIBE here, so we can encourage each other. Share it on the Facebook group, Facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield, or you can tweet me at Twitter.com/SenseiWhitfield, and I'm open to hearing what you would like to share.

Sending you a big hug and kiss, and I will see you next week, back in the States. Bye!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.
