Are you sensitive to negative energy?

Can you feel other people's emotions, so much that you avoid being around certain groups and events?

Using energy candles, sprays and jewelry to protect yourself, only to find that they work temporarily and then ware off?

Being empathic and intuitive can get downright overwhelming from time to time.

It's natural to want to protect yourself when trying to connect spiritually and feel the energy because it's largely "the unknown.

Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter video to make sure you don't fall into the trap of protection obsession!

"I'm going to make sure I never get hurt like that again."

This week, Source has asked for us to continue last week's conversation, specifically around protection obsession.

Now, if you are watching this video or if you pressed play, there's a pretty good chance that you are naturally intuitive or naturally empathic.

That means you pick up on the emotions and feelings of others without asking and without being prompted to, you just absorb them off of people, animals and places like a sponge, right?

Intuitive means that you get knowings about other's thoughts, feelings, histories, what's going on for them. You get the impulse to ask a question. You didn't even know why you asked it.

When you're naturally just underneath the big umbrella sensitive emotionally and energetically, spiritually speaking, when you're naturally sensitive because of the events of your life, you tend to be inclined to also be a little bit obsessed with protection.

You know, "We got to shut out all the negative people or we got to make sure that we don't watch the news ever. We got to make sure that we rip this person out of our lives." Right? "We can't eat food or we can't eat rice, can't eat gluten, can't eat meat, can't eat fruit, can't eat sugar, can't eat anything. We can't use any products." There's all of this ...

I'm not knocking. I'm just mirroring what might be going on in your head.

Because there's one vibration of honor, honoring what resonates best for us versus fear and protecting everything. When I'm going out, I got to wrap my face, my neck, my eyeballs and my head in addition to the rest of my body because I don't want to catch a cold. I don't want to catch anybody's cooties.

Or if I'm going out to an event, I got to make sure that I put on all the, if you're an oils person, I got to put on all the protection oils and the spray and the amulet and the ring and the bracelet and everything and I got to have the angel card in my bra and in my back pocket and in my purse next to my money to make sure that I'm protected.

Whenever I'm meditating, I'm setting up shields. I'm clearing out other people's gunk. I'm getting rid of it.

I'm making sure I have a thousand million brilliant shields up to make sure no-one can get through, so I don't ever have to get hurt again like I was once before. Take a deep breath in. As you exhale, release, be kind to yourself.

If that's you and I'm sure it's a caricature of you, sending a kiss, first of all. Secondly, you may be a bit protection obsessed.

Now, what comes through with that is not only are you protecting against the negative, bad things getting in.

It's not that you shouldn't be mindful and honoring your boundaries, but when we're protection obsessed where everything around us is about protection, we not only protect against the negative but we also protect or block out, push out or hinder, resist receiving the positive.

One example of that could be in love and relationships where, "Oh, you know, I've been betrayed in the past. So-and-so cheated on me" or "So-and-so did this to me. I'm shutting down." or "I'm going to make sure I keep my heart cold. I'll keep all of my thoughts and feelings close to me because I'm never going to be hurt like that ever, ever, ever again."

That's a lot to do to yourself because you're closing, in that example, you're closing down your heart to the negative, sure.

No more crusty crabs or knuckleheads as my father would call them. I call them crusty crabs. No more knuckleheads kind of an approach.

Great, but what about someone who wants to love, wants to give, wants to be loyal to you and comes into your sphere of protection? How are they going to make it through?

Know this: Too much protection stops not only bad from coming in, but also the good. Open your heart #bk2ys @SenseiWhitfield

I'll speak about even higher vibration now because I'm starting to hear the oracle cards calling. There are some of you who are watching this video, "Okay. Yeah, I get it, Victoria, you know, I got to have shields that filter, blah, blah, blah."

You're attracting and manifesting things in the energy for yourself, but the flip side of protection obsession is that unfortunately, what it can come up as is we're trying to manifest things and it's just not making it through.

It's like, "Why in the world? You know, I've been trying to conjure more clients" or "I've been trying to conjure that love in my life" or "I'm trying to conjure and manifest and realize and create that body and shape and health that I've been wanting to get back to for so long."

Protection obsession. You may have so many walls up that the vision that source has given you, that desire, that seed of desire that you have in you, just can't make it through.

Now, I'm really hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. It's the archangel oracle Cards. I know it's a little shiny. I hope you can see that. Another Doreen Virtue deck. Let's see what the angels have to say.

Archangels, what do we need to know right now about our protection obsession? How can we release that so that we can open to receive more love and abundance?

Hmm, interesting. This is my chief guide, the number one archangel that I vibrate with, so I think it's amazing that he's coming forward. Azrael. Archangel Azrael is coming forward to say, "Counselor." Hmm. "You are a natural counselor and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance."

I'm hearing this as a two-way street. On one side, yes, this is to validate, whoever is watching, if this isn't part of your profession now or your role in the family or your role in the friends circle as of right now, it's going to be very shortly, because you give natural advice that's healing words of wisdom all the time.

On the flip side, those who are in the counselor, in the advisor role, because you hold space, you're the one who's the responsible one, the one who's the healer or the advice and wisdom giver, because of that, you're the one who is in need the most of someone to hold space for you.

Now, we're cutting through and we're talking directly to you.

If you're someone who that's really resonating with, when's the last time you had someone hold space for you, specifically around talking about, "I need to talk through protection obsession. Am I blocking love in my life? Am I blocking health in my life? I am not blocked but I know it's very possible that I might be blocking things because I'm overprotective."

You need to be able to step out of the counselor role rather than telling people what to do all the time.

Look, I, me personally, Sensei Whitfield, I answer to 5 different mentors and counselors who if I need, I work with on a regular basis directly such as "This is what's coming up for me." Okay? Trust me. I got mine handled.

For you watching, make sure that you have someone who can hold space for you so that you don't have to feel so protection obsessed. Instead, maybe this week, you may begin opening up.

Comment below. Send me an email background what's coming up for you in this regard. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week and I'll see you next time. Muah. Bye.

The post Meditation Class Replay: Protection appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Feel like fear is running your life lately?

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

Wish you were more confident?

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

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

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

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

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

Fear is always a choice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In psychology, this is actually backed up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spiritual growth.

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

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

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

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

Here's where we're going to leave.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This month's meditation class topic is "Protection."

In our day to day lives we can encounter pretty negative environments, people and situations. It's important to know how to mentally, emotionally and energetically protect oneself so you can feel safe enough to stay positive and open.

Log on at 7:00PM EST and practice protection meditation with Sensei Whitfield, and feel the healing energy flow through you during your meditation!

Are you having a hard time recognizing, respecting and communicating your own personal boundaries to others?

Wondering why you always end up being the only one giving or trying to make things work in relationships?

Disappointed that your partner or coworkers never pick up the slack when you need them to?

Spirit wants you to know that there has to be a clear line in the sand for you between what you're willing to put up with in life and what you want.

The energy this week wants to discuss why we let ourselves -- as well as the people in our lives -- get away with highway robbery overstepping boundaries.

Watch the above 16-minute video to make sure the something that’s got to give isn’t your sense of personal wellbeing!

"But if I don't do anything, nothing gets done..."

Why do we allow ourselves to feel day after day drained, exhausted, unfulfilled, sad, frustrated, anxious, and holding repressed anger?

Source is saying that something's got to give if we keep this up because the universe is in a constant state of motion.

What does that mean? The way that nature works is that she's in constant growth and decomposition.

There's this constant cycle of expansion through shedding the old layers; just watch how a tree grows if you want to see it. NASA even reported that they recently confirmed that the universe is expanding—just like you. Why? Because that is nature. How does that apply?

Here it is: In any given situation in life, if you don't give in, something else will or if something else won't give in, you have to. Something has got to give, always.

This applies specifically to boundaries: how you lay out your boundaries, or standards rather, in life. Not only how you lay them out, but also whether or not you truly honor them in the way that you interact with people.

Be kind to yourself if you're the someone that's usually giving, rather than allowing the circumstance or the other players involved to be the someone or something that has got to give to you.

What does that look like? Well let me gender this for a moment, and talk to the ladies.

Oftentimes women will give wonderful, colorful excuses.

Excuse after excuse about why they shouldn't express what they're really thinking because they’ll say to themselves “oh I'm going to get in trouble,” “oh someone is going to get angry,” “oh I'm going to get fired” or “oh they're going to leave me,” right?

There's millions of excuses to maintain this status of silence.

But, the truth is excuses are an avoidant protective measure designed to create an artificial sense of control over where we're at, emotionally and energetically speaking. 

Rather than staying open and expressing whatever needs to be expressed for whatever reason, we tell ourselves it doesn't matter.

However, what really matters most is how you're feeling in that moment.

Here’s why: if you're maintaining the silence for fear, the effects of this show up elsewhere, because something’s got to resolve or give in to confirming your sense of fear.

If we're holding that (false) sense of “safe silence,” the thing that's going to give is usually your sense of emotional support, bodily health, personal safety, relational health, financial health, right?

If we're not able to stay open, there will be things in your environment that will reflect your lack of openness.

Something has got to give. If you won't allow that authentic energy you’re feeling to flow through you, which is Source energy and the energy of honesty and truth, it's going to come out in a different way.

With women oftentimes our weight will reflect the inability to express our emotions, depending on the woman.

Whether it is not being able to hold on weight, so having eating disorders, or having excessive weight that just won't go away. If you don't give in, something else will.

Coping mechanisms are meant to psychologically block against that feeling of not being open, better known as a feeling of vulnerability, but blocking this feeling can have detrimental effects.

In fact, there's a universal law that applies here. The Universal Law of Causation: for every cause, there is an effect. Something always has to give; things don’t happen in a vacuum, all energy is responsive.

On the other side of the fence, I've seen men who are holding on to a past disappointment of guilt of failure and it will reflect in their bodies.

Hip tightness or a consistent tightness around the shoulders—this sense of restriction is the manifestation of guilt and disappointment that they're not able to let go of.

Why do men hold on? Often for pride, for honor... which is just pride. Telling ourselves “I was wrong and I should be punished,” so there is a series of punishments that come down to resolve this in life, indefinitely.

Unforgiveness and not being able to let go of the past can also have financial repercussions, believe it or not.

Know this: Not being able to let go of the past is a desire to not confront raw feelings within ourselves; & this can affect your #finances!

That avoidant behavior can show up in your finances in the form of other self-sabotaging behaviors: ignorance, impulsivity, mismanagement and lack mentality.

Think of it this way. If I can't confront that painful issue in the past, then I darn well can't look at what's going on my bank account or have a sense of personal mastery about that now! Be kind to yourself if that's you.

Something always has to give. You don't have to be the one that's incurring the repercussions of that fear, though.

You can give yourself permission to be free of always being The Giver, or the one who has to shrink, or bear the brunt of the pain, frustration, the effects.

Yes, you can choose to allow others to assume the responsibility for their actions.

So many times the most spiritual, sensitive people absorb the effects of others, because we want to protect them, love them, or because we’re so empathic that we can’t help ourselves.

You know, the psychological term for that is “enabling,” right?

We'll absorb the effects of others' behaviors because we think we're being responsible, doing our best.

We're trying here at Share Prices Australia to make sure everybody else feels comfortable, at the expense of our own physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Financial as well.

We'll just take it in because be think proudly “I can take it. You don't have to. You don't have to.”

It's a mistake to think that this is courageous. Instead you're just being a martyr.

We're not respecting the fact that we all have thresholds, telling ourselves over and over “I'm going to ignore this, I'm going to ignore my feelings. I'm going to ignore my dreams. I'm going to ignore my own energy for as long as I possibly can so I can push through to look...normal.”

You're doing a lot more harm than you think because it's going against Nature. In terms of our Nature, she is never static, she’s always flowing—something's got to give.

It may appear that you're holding back negativity from others but in actuality you’re inviting it in to your energy, and then only hiding from yourself.

Watch the video for this week’s oracle card, which shows you how to stop sabotaging your natural flow of wellbeing and abundance, by stopping this behavior pattern before you burnout!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Something’s Got to Give 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.

Just for Today...

Re-evaluate how you go about protecting your energy.

Ask yourself: "Am I just shutting people out and avoiding the energy off and on, or am I creating a consistent sense of emotional and energetic safety, balance and flow for myself?"

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!

The post Love Letters | Protect Your Joy – Part 2 of 2 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What brings you joy?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The vibration of joy accelerates your recovery process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

“Humans have been using shamanic methods for healing and problem-solving for many thousands of years across all inhabited continents and in a wide variety of cultures—not because these people were naive or ignorant, but because they worked. […]

Many become shamanic healers and work to heal individuals suffering from physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. Others use shamanic methods to heal in their communities, bringing the power of the helping spirits to issues such as violence, conflict, or environmental pollution. Some use shamanic methods in a more personal way, to help improve their own lives, to be more at peace, resolve troubled relationships or past suffering—to bring freedom, creativity, and joy into their lives.”

It's good to have some psychic self defense tech in your repertoire for the times when people or places are actively nasty or harmful to you. Psychic shields protect you from the chaotic and negative energy around you coming from people, places, things and experiences.

NOTE: Keep in mind that defensive tech are the most effective only when you take care of cleansing and grounding your own energy first, otherwise you're just sealing and stewing in your own negativity.

To Psychically Shield Yourself:

1. Using your imagination, inhale healing energy into your belly (you can picture white or golden light)
2. As you exhale, feel the energy becoming more solid and circular in your body, until you feel a warmth or fullness in your belly
3. Still inhaling healing energy, with each subsequent exhale see and feel the ball of light / energy begin to expand larger and larger, as if you were blowing up a balloon
4. Continue this expanding breathing until the balloon totally surrounds you like a shield
5. Optional: Imagine the outside of the bubble is made of mirror, so anything negative that comes at you bounces right back
6. Also optional: Program this shield with an affirmation, such as "I am safe and calm"

I recommend using this technique proactively, before you walk into a troublesome situation or a crowded place, so you are prepared.

Students of mine have said they feel less burdened by other people's drama and emotions after cleansing and shielding. We all need that especially during this time of year!

Try it out right now, and Comment below!

Tell us how you feel before you begin, and then write how you feel afterwords.
