Scared to stand out and take up space?

Shrinking yourself physically or emotionally to make others comfortable, or even for fear of being seen?

Do you tend to "keep your mouth shut" around others, rather than speaking your mind openly?

Our bodies are mirrors of our emotional health and mindset.

So if you live with chronic tightness, aches and pains, that's actually a physical manifestation of limiting beliefs you have about yourself.

Watch this week's 11-minute love letter video, the final installment of our 5-week series on living life unapologetically, to release all restriction and boldly take up space in life and business!

"I don't trust myself to be able to get my point across."

So this is week five of five in our deep dive into living life unapologetically. Yeah.

This has been a powerful, powerful series of living fully, right? And embracing our brilliance, living as if, as we discussed last week, we're already worthy, right?

There's nothing additional that needs to be done. We're worthy now. If you missed that, go back on YouTube, check it out. Watch that video.

This week, the spirit guides have said our topic is taking up space. Take up space. Do this with me. Spread your arms out. Open your chest. Breathe deep and exhale. Take up space, right?

Are you someone, if you are blessed vertically, if you're tall, do you tend to hunch, or stand with a slouch so that you appear shorter? Are you someone who feels a bit insecure about speaking up, so instead, rather than waste people's time, or be annoying and take up space, you tend to hurry yourself.

Do you hurry yourself when you're speaking, or not even express anything? In your home, by the way, is there no space for you, or is all your stuff crammed into the corner or shoved into a drawer? Are you afraid to really spread out so that you can be creative and expressive?

Right? No, that's not for you. That's for the kids. You're not allowed, right?

If that's you, be kind to yourself. Just because other people take up space doesn't mean that you are not allowed to. There's enough space for all of us. That's a tweetable, as Marie Forleo would say.

Know this, there's enough space for all of us. You are enough. The world is enough. There's enough time for all of us. Be kind to yourself.

‪Know this: There's enough space for all of us. Just because other people take up space, doesn't mean that you're not allowed to. Take up space, #unapologetically!

If you carry shame, right? Do you carry that shame around all ... You know, "I have something to say, but you know, everybody has something to say, and I don't really trust myself to get my point across, so instead of being articulate, and expressing openly, I'll be quiet, and watch everyone else try and fail, but at least, you know, I didn't try, so I didn't fail." I'm giving you a big hug if this is you. I know this is tough. Oh my goodness. Take up space.

But this week in particular, the guides are showing images of you decompressing your body. Stretch. Go ahead. Stand up, like right now. Stand up. Get up, get up, and reach over your head, tickle the ceiling, wherever you are, tickle it and just radiate your light in all directions.

Allow your hips to roll open. Stretch your jaw, right? Your eyes, stretch your eyes. Yeah. Roll your shoulders. Roll them open. Do freestyle, whatever you need to do to open up any tightness in your body. Take up space.

Be kind to yourself.

If you're afraid of taking up space in conversation, or even with your marketing, for example, to all my entrepreneurs and business owners, if you're uncomfortable being visible, and commanding attention, start with your body. Let's be clear. We're going to start internally. The healing starts with you.

You don't have to worry about anybody else, but instead, open your body first. Decompress, right? I can't show you this on camera, but if you were to hang over your knees and let your head be pulled down by gravity, you could even decompress your spine. So important.

So, it's essential for you, in living life unapologetically, to not be so compressed all the time. This is an apology for being in the same space as everyone else, and this is affirming that there's not enough space for you. Trust me, the universe is big enough to handle you. In all your imperfections and all your awesomeness, the universe is big enough.

Come out and play. Make it open, and even if it's a bit messy, whatever, right? Be kind to yourself. You don't have to do it perfectly.

So take up space, and stretch especially. Stretch open your body. Imagine, by the way, as you stretch your body, filling the space with your energy, as if you were shining light and radiating light into the entire room, into the entire building, out into the town, out into the state, around the country, and out into the world, right?

Radiate that permission to take up space. Do it for your brothers and sisters who are in extreme poverty, right? Who are oppressed, and depressed, and repressed. Open your body on behalf of our tribe, on behalf of our tribe. Take up space.

I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling the energy this week, again is our last with the daily guidance from the Angels, another Oracle Cards deck, one of the many that have been donated here at the dojo, always accepting donations. Okay, Angels. What do we need to know right now, about taking up space? Cupid. Beautiful. Aw, there's so much love in this card, Cupid. Oh, the heart bubble. So sweet.

"We send great waves of love into your heart and mind, awakening your love for life itself. Your clear decision to accept and enjoy romance has triggered this awakening. Allow yourself to spontaneously celebrate love in all of its glorious aspects."

So, my guides are telling me ... This Angel card has come forward in particular, for you to welcome love into your life. Yes, romantic love. Yes, physical love. Yes, emotional love. Yes, love. Opening up to receive more love in your life starts with you being open and decompressed, right? Take up space.

Give yourself permission to say, "Hi. What's your name?" To all of my single people out there, take up space, get yourself a ... like, you know, a seat at the coffee shop and type on your laptop conspicuously. Take up space, and if you are married, or with a partner, your lover, take up space with them. Like, "I desire to be with you," or "I'm going to be in your space because I love you," yeah? Take up emotional space. You can say what you need and you can express yourself. This is your permission.

This week in particular, take up space. How are you going to do it, right? Are you just going to start with the physical stretching more, and making sure that your body physically is open and lubricated, or are you also going to take it the emotional and social level? Are you going to take up space in your relationships and interactions?

Comment below on YouTube, on Facebook, send me an email back, right? I want to hear it. How are you taking up space. I love love and I love love letters, so send me a mail. Send me a love letter in the mail. I just got one. Yay! Thanks, Johanna. Hers is right there, that white piece of paper, pink writing. So beautiful. Thank you, goddess.

And, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, all right? Live life unapologetically.

We'll see you next time. Bye.

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

SHARE THIS! You’d be surprised how many people you know right now are in desperate need of healing and could use this information to change their life. If you can read this, you know someone who needs this Love Letter!

Want spiritual support on your healing journey but don't know where to start? Let's work #together!

Click the pink button below to take your Abundance Energy Jumpstart Assessment with Victoria and jumpstart your healing journey, today! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just for today...

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

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

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

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...

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just for today...

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

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

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

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...

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

--

Just for today...

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

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

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

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...

 

This is week four of four in our series on talking about rocking your retrograde.

Whether or not you got to see the ones before that, make sure that you make the time to catch up on the series because this has been a vulnerable discussion that we're having, talking about the dark side and about when things aren't working out in business. How do we keep a positive mindset even though we're retrograding? Now, if you don't know what that means, if you think like, "Oh, is that something that a teacher does, retrograding? Is that like doing something backwards in time, like giving grades from before?" No. Go ahead, pause, go back on my blog on victoriawhitfield.com and start from the beginning of the series.

As this week four of four, we are being called as a tribe to change our stories specifically around, “am I breaking down or am I breaking through?” The stories that we tell ourselves as entrepreneurs, as women, as men, as individuals looking to live our best lives and create our life by design, the stories that we tell ourselves have power. And the more that we can tell ourselves a story of empowerment and uplift, positivity, and forward motion, the better. However, we can get into cycles of telling ourselves stories that are disempowering or stories that encourage us to hide, to protect, to shrink, to stop or retreat especially when things get uncomfortable.

Last week, we talked about leaning into the discomfort and learning how to do that. So that you are supported not just for this retrograde, if it's still retrograde time or any other retrograde or transition that you're going through in life and business, this week in particular, we've got to talk about telling a new story, a story of empowerment.

Let’s talk about the way that you reframe when things don't go as planned, which happens typically during regular retrograde as you and I both know and are well aware of by now in our conversation, or now as you've been experiencing in your life and business. ... By the way, leave a comment below about what hiccups have you been going through? Have you been feeling “the molt?” And if so, how's that been coming up for you? I'd really love to hear it. Comment below or send me an email back info@victoriawhitfield.com. That goes straight to me, so I'd love to hear that and support you.

The story that we want to tell ourselves and that we can specifically use to shift our challenging situation is converting what looks like a breakdown in to a breakthrough. Now, maybe it's your cellphone or your laptop or your car, et cetera. A piece of technology is having a breakdown, and for sure that is so frustrating, debilitating. It slows you down. It can really feel disempowering. It's such a frustrating experience because we've become so techno-dependent especially, too.

And with that as an example, how can we shift that from a story of breakdown to breaking through? Could it be that we're breaking through into a time to get the new car that I've been saying I'm going to get all this time or wishing and manifesting and goal-carding for all the time? This is a sign that I'm breaking through to that new paradigm. Or with the washing machine breaking down, could this be a breakthrough of not ignoring the little things in the background in your personal life and instead making sure that they're just as important as the business items and issues that you are placing your attention on?

Know this: The stories you tell yourself about what’s happening create your reality. Tell a story of empowerment! #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #retrograde @SenseiWhitfield

Sometimes, what breaks through is remembering to value ourselves personally while being an entrepreneur and a business owner. Interesting? Eww, how icky is that? But I know if you're just like me, you have the same thing where when things get busy, or it's go time, the first thing that goes out the window typically is self-care, some aspect of living clean or taking care of home, et cetera. Guilty as charged! I'm hoping to go there with you. And if you're there too, send me an email back info@victoriawhitfield.com. Let's connect around that.

I also put together a webinar called the Abundant Business Lifestyle webinar series. You go to my website victoriawhitfield.com. It should be right there on the homepage for you to be able to go and sign up to view that webinar, where I go into detail of how I've had bad patterns in the past before I really started prioritizing my self-care at the same level as my business development, what happened and how I was able to turn that around, exactly how. Go ahead and claim that.

But today in particular, or as we say in the practice of reiki, “just for today,” let's focus is on shifting our story from breaking down, or this thing is breaking down, to “I'm breaking through.” This will really empower you not only for this retrograde but for all coming forward. I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Let's tune in. We’re using the Indigo Angel oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue. Thank you, thank you, Doreen, for all your inspiration and all your resources. I don't know how many oracle cards decks we have there at dojo but I've lost count. Okay, angels, what do we need to know right now about changing our story from breaking down to breaking through especially during retrograde? ...That was loud.

This is so good. I love the bubbles in her hair. Acceptance. The bubbles are like all the stuff that's on your mind, all those lovely bubbles. Acceptance. The angels are bringing the oracle card Acceptance forward for you this week in particular because this is to remind you to accept the gift even though it may be a dark gift, a gift that doesn't exactly look like something nice, but it's full of wisdom, learning, power, experience, progress and healing. This is about accepting the dark gift that comes our way, the learning opportunities that are coming up.

Things may look like they're breaking down but there's a gift in there: accept it. We can switch to a more receptive mode when things start to or appear to be breaking down. Perception is everything; it creates a reality where things appear to be breaking down. Specifically, change your story from “this is breaking down” to “I'm breaking through” and look at what's the gift that you're accepting in that experience.

Go ahead, comment below. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and if you are having a hard time accepting the ... I call them dark gifts. You may call them learning gifts. If you're having a hard time seeing them, receiving them and fully integrating that wisdom and learning that Source is trying to send you through these difficult experiences that are coming up for you, go ahead to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Get on my calendar, share your story with me and let's talk about it. Let's connect and see how I can help.

All right, I'll see you next week. Bye.

Just for today...

Search for the hidden gift in every seeming “breakdown” that you’re experiencing.

When things look like they aren’t working out, pause, and choose to re-write the story of what’s happening to be a story of triumph and imminent breakthrough.

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...

Are you uncomfortable receiving compliments?

Is it weird for you to ask for *and* to receive help from others?

Feeling out of place in your new position at work, like you don't deserve it?

Being seen is always uncomfortable; that's why we tend to hide our gifts, rather than share them openly and often.

But positive discomfort can also be a sign of growth and good changes happening, if you know what to look for.

Watch this week's 10-minute Love Letter, the final installment in our 4-week exploration of the Power of Positive Community, to harness the healing power of Evolutionary Visibility in your life and business!

"Sometimes I feel like I don't belong."

This is our fourth and final week of a deep dive into the power of positive community. So if you haven't seen the previous installments, I highly recommend them. Stop, go back, and watch them on YouTube, or on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com.

This week, for our fourth and final installment, where we're going to land the plane of our journey through the power of positive community is what happens when you actually are in positive community, what you can expect. And it is ... Drum roll please, evolutionary visibility.

Evolutionary visibility. It is so powerful, and this phrase came straight from my guides. I've tried to read more on it, and I haven't really heard of it. So you heard it here first.

Evolutionary visibility is the true essence and power of being in positive community.

Last week we covered the lions and the kittens, right? Where's your mindset at? And we covered the concept of the lioness who grew up around cats, so that finally when she was come of age and fully-formed, it was a bit of a surprise and a shock feeling completely out of space.

What would happen if she finally got around a pride of lions? This is where we're going this week in particular. Are we ready for it? So evolutionary visibility is the experience of others seeing you as your true self, your higher self, and because of that, they hold you to that standard and call that out of you.

And with all of that support around you, you evolve into your full and highest self.

It takes two parts, however. When we are first the lioness, that grew up around cats and kittens, we have a certain self image of ourself. We are a cat. We are a kitten, yes? And then when we get around lions, there's this fear, a sense of, I don't belong.

Maybe you have experienced this in your business because you've enrolled in group coaching or you joined a networking group or association. Or maybe you moved your business to a more premium area. Or you may have even rebranded at a higher vibration, right?

And there's this kind feeling that you have where "I'm a fraud. I'm a fraud. I am not what that says I am. I am not what you say I am. I am not what the branding and those ... I'll never be enough. I'll never be enough."

That fraud and not enough-ness, our inner-achiever, comes out with a vengeance, especially when we're growing.

This is a sign of growing pains, however. And especially if you're feeling discomfort. It's extra important for you to be surrounded by lions who will champion you and celebrate you in your power and say, "Yeah. Bring out those claws. Yeah, let your mane shake out.

You're brilliant. You're gorgeous. You're fabulous. You're an expert. You're the best of the best." Those type of cheerleaders and champions cause us to evolve. They're like a mirror, a cosmic mirror. All brilliant loving people are cosmic mirrors, and when they stand in front of you, they reflect your greatness back to you.

With that, the power of positive community is allowing yourself to be seen in that light. There's an element of vulnerability that comes being seen as brilliant. If you think of the light, like the lamp back there, when you first turn a light on, there's a bit of an adjustment in your eyes, if you're sensitive to light.

Know this: All brilliant, loving people are Cosmic Mirrors. When they stand in front of you, they reflect your #greatness back to you. Allow yourself to be seen as brilliant by your #positive community.

Or even especially if you've been in the dark for so long. It hurts at first, but then you adjust.

That pain is the opening of your eyes, the relaxing of your ocular muscles to allow for more light to flood in. The same thing happens to us emotionally and mentally when we open up about our life purpose, or we open up around, this is what I really want to focus on, or this is who I really am.

There's a vulnerability in that opening. But when you're around positive community, if and when you open vulnerably, it is powerful. And those cosmic mirrors of those loving people will reflect back to you the brilliance that you are. Your mindset may be a couple light years behind you, but if you stick around that positive community long enough, you will adjust and relax into your greatness.

So this week in particular, the guides are asking you to bring more evolutionary visibility into your life. Being safe and vulnerable and open in your brilliance and in your power, and because others are reflecting that and championing it and celebrating it in you, you can evolve and step fully into it.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. It's the fairies. Healing With the Fairies by Doreen Virtue. Okay. And I'm always accepting donations if you have an oracle card deck that you would love to donate to the dojo, go to my "About Me" page. There's a "Give Back" link, and there's all the information that you'd like for donating. Thank you, by the way, in advance.

Fairies, what do we need to know right now about evolutionary visibility and positive community? Stepping into our greatness and positive community. Don't shuffle anymore, they said. Ooh. New opportunity. This is where we're going to leave off for this week. Really exciting.

So the fairies are bringing forward a card that says, "You have, within one degree of separation of you ... " Moi, right here. "You are directly connected to the opportunity of stepping into positive community and evolutionary visibility being in that community." Are you aware of that? Be on the lookout. There is a new opportunity coming your way to be part of a next level positive community. A next level space and group of people who see you and celebrate you in your power and in your brilliance.

I highly recommend that you go and check out my visionary shaman circle at victoriawhitfield.com/jointhetribe. Go there, read through it. That is the next level tribe that we have here at the dojo of lions and lionesses who are championing you in your high vibrational presence.

But what's your new opportunity that's coming through? What positive community are you going to commit to join? Is it my Visionary Shaman Circle?

Go ahead and send me an email back or comment below what comes up for you around this. Do you want to be held in that brilliant space of evolutionary visibility? Curious to hear it.

So that's it for this week's Love Letter video, and for our four week deep dive on the power of positive community. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letter videos first every week.

And remember, if there's any way that I can help you balance your mind, body, and business, just let me know at victoriawhitfield.com/contact.

We'll see you there. Bye.

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.

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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