Love Letters | Rock Your Retrograde – Part 1 of 4

Sensei Victoria Whitfield — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 05:00:07 +0000

We're starting off a new series now and it's specifically on rocking your retrograde.

And so starting now and over the next four videos we're going to talk about exactly how to get the most out of being in mercury retrograde. And here's the reason why you should care as an energy sensitive and spiritual entrepreneur or business owner, or you're just someone who is professional and out and working during this time and you can pick up on the energy.

Here's why you need to know about this: For one, oh my goodness, mercury retrograde comes about four times a year and it's for three weeks each and every time. At the filming of this video, mercury retrograde has just begun so you're getting that retrogrady energy as well as you watch it.

So be kind to yourself if you're starting to feel a little bit off. And so if you're used to being on your game, expecting all the technology and the travel to work, expecting you to be completely dead on with all of your speaking and presentations, expecting others to understand exactly what you're communicating. If you're used to things swimming along and being super productive without interruption, mercury retrograde is a lovely kick in the patoodie.

Because we're being invited to come outside of that normal productivity cycle. And let's talk about why that happens. Before we get to that, I just want to make it clear, if you're like, "Oh my God Victoria, I have no idea what mercury retrograde is," what's happening? I don't understand. Wonderful. 101 as far as mercury retrograde is, it's when astrologically there's an optical illusion in the night sky of the planet mercury going in the opposite direction instead of heading in it's typical orbit through the night sky. And the reason why is because from our vantage point, mercury is going on the edge, the very thin dip. It doesn't revolve in a perfect circle in it's transit through space. It's a very long oval. And when it gets to that long oval point, right there at the point, it starts looking, from our vantage point, our own perspective, that things are going backwards. And astrologically speaking, mercury governs communication, commerce, business, technology and travel.

From our perspective, from our vantage point, all of these areas look like they're going backwards. It looks like there's problems cropping up. And it happens for three weeks four times a year. Sometimes three times a year but it's usually around four times a year. This is a quarterly, semi-quarterly occurrence. Be kind to yourself if you're susceptible to natural energy, forces of nature. We're going to be talking over the next four videos how you can, instead of feeling like everything's going backward and hitting the fan for you, you can actually catch this wave of deep clearing and healing energy that the universe is sending us. And you can use it specifically to deepen your own healing as well as improve all of the systems and standard operations within your travel, your technology, commerce and communications.

So this is a time for up leveling, right? So we've got to rock our retrogrades because you have been asking for more. You're in your manifesting process, you're open to being all that you can be. And in nature, the way that she copes with becoming more than what she was before is by molting, right? We have seasons. Whether you're looking at bird, right, or a deer's antlers or a bird shedding her feathers, molting, or the deer molting his antlers or the snake shedding skin, it's because there's growth happening.

Or here in New Jersey we have four seasons. So we're going into fall in a little bit, otherwise known as autumn. And the leaves fall, right? The trees themselves are molting because this is a process of sustainable productivity. You're witnessing one of the steps in the process of sustainable productivity. The next time you see something go a bit awry or is not working the way that you used to expect it to in your communication, travel, technology or commerce, in those areas of your life, for this week in particular, be on the lookout for that. Because you have to acknowledge that there is progress. This is one step in the right direction of letting go.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. I'm going to pop up a wee bit closer so you can see them. Back with you, Indigo Angel Oracle cards deck. This is for those of us who are energy sensitive. Thank you, Doreen Virtue for creating this deck to keep us inspired when the energy gets a bit thick and a bit tough to move through. So Angels, what do we need to know right now about rocking our retrograde? And allowing the molt?

Oh yeah. Self reflection. So good. Kind of the perfect segue to what we're going to be speaking about for the next few videos. Self reflection. The angels are bringing this card forward, in particular, to help you slow down and take a good look at who you think you are and who you really are. Right? The reason why we're "molting" is because you have been so filled, so productive and so ready, you've taken in so much brilliance that it's time to let go of who you think you are, the mini you and make room for who you really are. The next iteration of your brilliance. The next level of your business, the next program that you are being called to launch or the next book that you're being pulled to write.

There's a shedding process of your self that has got to take place naturally in order to allow that to happen. So send me an email back, comment below, what comes up for you around this topic? Are you feeling the molt? Right? Be kind to yourself, we're slowing down in our productivity cycle seasons. So let me know what comes up for you around taking time for ore self reflection, journaling, just being aware. You're going to be okay, we're in it together. And if you have more questions and you do want more support, especially during this time, go ahead to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Get on my calendar and let's connect, you and me one on one to talk about your unique situation.

I'll see you next week, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so you get these love letters first every weekend. Bye.

Love Letters | Pull Back On The Arrow – Mercury Retrograde Special

Sensei Victoria Whitfield — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 11:00:00 +0000

I wanted to share with you this special message at this wonderful beach environment, to support you for our next Mercury Retrograde.

My guides to told me to “pull back on the arrow,” so that I could go forward full force with renewed energy. For me, that means being unplugged, so I'm going to teach you a little bit more about that before I share with you a special initiative that's going on here at the dojo.

With that being said, if you haven't yet gone back on my blog and subscribed to the Love Letters or found where the blog is, hit pause, go back to victoriawhitfield.com/freegift, and make sure that you start there so that you're grounded in this process.

At the filming of this video, it's July in 2019, and we are getting ready for yet another Mercury Retrograde, starting July 7 and ending July 31. The real power, the wonderful healing power of Mercury Retrograde is actually that it helps us to see all of the drains in our energy. It reveals that bit by bit. For some of us, the drains have to be revealed in uncomfortable circumstances in order to get our attention, so if that’s you, I'm sending you so much love and support so that you're able to get through it, but the point is for you to pull back on the arrow this month, too.

In our ascension path as entrepreneurs and as professional people, we tend to get addicted to and base our worth on how much momentum we can generate: the more that we're able to move forward, the more that we're able to get things done - and get things done well - and cross things off of the task list. But, just the other day when I was speaking locally - and I've been out speaking a lot more recently, by the way, and I’m finding it's a lot of fun. I'm making a lot of really deep impact and making greeter, more intimate connections with the local tribe...

The other day when I was speaking, something that we went over was the power of working ON your business rather than just IN it. When you can set aside time and space to work On your business and not just In your business, that's when the quantum leaps happen. That's where the real progress that gets you back into alignment in a massive way, with your vision and your life purpose, tends to take off. With that being said, the gift of Mercury Retrograde is it causes us to step back, to pull back on the arrow and refocus what we're aiming at, and how we are aiming. And the more that we can improve our alignment, the more effective we become overall. So, if you have not prepared yourself for Mercury Retrograde, or if you have not had a good one before, I want to support you in doing that.

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

Over the next few weeks, we as a team, we're going to be re-releasing the “Rock Your Retrograde” Love Letters Mercury Retrograde video series, for two reasons. One, I did a really good job of explaining exactly what to do while Mercury Retrograde is happening, and for those of you who aren't familiar with it, I break it down in those videos, so stay tuned for that. And Two, the other purpose is for me myself to pull back on the arrow. I want to better serve you. After eight years of doing new content constantly, and you following my evolution over time, I want you to be able to be better served at this current level of vibration. We have the podcast out now. We're going on 50 episodes, and I want to be able to share that with you effectively.

Also we have the quarterly Strategic Spa Retreats to support you, such as the next one that we're about to have this month in Bay Head, New Jersey, on the beach, for grounding and clearing your energy as a conscious entrepreneur and helping you to get back on your path as the visionary that you've been called to be, not just someone who's tasking away and putting out fires left and right. There's so much more to your purpose than that, so with love, I want to be even more effective in maintaining our relationship and guiding you, and in order to do this, I'm going to take some space to pull back on my arrow as well, refocusing and retooling. Also I’ll take some time to be out in nature more, because I know I need that for my energy, especially as an empath.

So, I just wanted to do a really quick Love Letter this week. Focus this month in particular on pulling back on the arrow for your self so that you can refocus and retool, too. Just because it may look like you're going backwards, pulling back on the arrow doesn't mean that you are. We're refocusing and retooling, and that's the magic of Mercury Retrograde, the really deep magic of it. By the way, a Retrograde is an optical illusion. It looks like things are going backwards in the night sky, but that's actually not true. Things are still moving forward, but they appear to be going backwards. It's an optical illusion, so be kind to yourself. Keep calm and carry on.

If you're secretly feeling afraid of taking the time to step back, reevaluate, retool, refocus, then this is your chance to do it, and we're here to support you as a tribe. If you have not joined the Deep Dive Retreat yet, I think I have one last space available. Go ahead to http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/deepdiveretreat to reserve the last spot for yourself. We would love to see you there, this year or next.

I'm sending you so much love. Have a happy Retrograde and enjoy the journey. Bye for now.

Just for today...

Focus on Pulling Back on The Arrow.

Make time to refocus, retool and review How you work, rather than just going through the motions.

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

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