The post Monthly Meditation Livestream Class: Releasing appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you have an air-tight schedule?

Always feeling stressed and pressed for time?

Are there never enough hours in the day, no matter how much you do?

There's always something else to get done; out to-do lists tend to grow themselves.

But when we overbook ourselves, usually self-care is the first thing to go out the window.

Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video to find out how you can start minding your time in a more balanced way!

"My schedule is crammed to the max!"

This week in particular, Source is saying that you need to mind your time. Mind your time.

Perhaps we've been getting sucked into social media lately or perhaps you'll start speaking and before you know it, "oh my goodness, the time is up, we don't have any time to hear any other people's stories because we're losing a sense of time." It can also mean being late.

In the energy, the Guides are saying this sense of having issues with minding your time is usually a crown chakra issue.

For those of us who are having either an overly activated crown chakra, we are wide open to sensing and perceiving spiritual energy and purpose and passion and all of that. We're wide open to that, or it's imbalanced where we're not sensitive.

On the other end of the spectrum, we're not sensitive to knowing what the point is or what our main goal, our purpose is. We're not clear on our values. It's a crown chakra issue.

We're not understanding exactly what should come next or what's the most balanced way to approach a situation.

When we have either a crown chakra activation or crown chakra imbalance going on, our concept of time can really get threatened.

Some other things that can happen when your crown chakra's going through a little bit of a shift is you start having deja vu more. That's a different way of being outside of time, where time as a line, of memory or events, starts compounding in more of a quantum sense. 

This week in particular, what you want to watch out for is how you mind your time, making sure that you are giving yourself enough time to travel comfortably if you are going from point A to point B.

Some things to think about here are: 

• • Are you rushing?

• • Do you tend to rush yourself, especially recently?

• • Do you give yourself enough time to comfortably transition from working time while you're at work to lunch time back to working time.

• Do you give yourself padding?

Mind your time.

The reason why the Guides are saying this week in particular you want to mind your time because how you occupy your time, what actions you take within a certain time period, can generate how you feel.

One of the things that we say here at the Dojo is that what matters most is how you feel. Well, it's very hard to feel comfortably or to feel comfortable when you are pressed for time or have no sense of time management or time consciousness.

Now, I know that for some of you who are watching right now, you're thinking, "Oh, I know exactly who she's talking about. My husband's always late. I'm going to send him this video!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! If you are watching this, this message is for you. Don't hot potato this message. This is for you in particular.

By all means, do share this video if someone else is coming to mind for you, but before you do that, don't miss your blessing. Just want to put that out there, okay?

I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling in the Energy. This week it is the Messenger Oracle cards deck, one of the many decks that we have here at the Dojo.

This one in particular step forward when we're talking about minding our time. It's all about being mindful, conscious, balanced and grounded.

Getting a hold on managing your time consciously not only with getting from point A to point B and getting things done, but also honoring transitions and padding in the way that you create your schedule can really ground your energy.

This card is gorgeous! Look at that.

The black panther, nourish the soul.

Incredible flaming eyes and of course we match. They're telling me read in particular, but right off the bat what I'm hearing from this card is that minding your time is about honoring yourself and remembering to practice self-care. Let's see here:

"Drink in life. Use your senses to explore your world, to see, touch, taste, smell, hear and experience all that is within you and around you. Your journey through life is meant to be a sensory experience. Your life is meant to be a rainbow of color full of motion and sound. It is not meant to be a bland, tasteless experience of simply black and white. Be sensual. Explore yourself and your world every day, and nourish your soul with every moment."

Here's where we'll leave off this week.

The Guides are saying that you need to mind your time so that you have enough temporal space to enjoy your life.

Your senses can expand and really take in and savor the experience of being alive, feeling and enjoying each moment when there's enough time to do so.

Perhaps the reason why you feel compressed, stressed and squished is because you haven't been creating a schedule that respects your need for temporal space, giving yourself enough time to feel relaxed or to feel productive or to feel grounded and at ease.

Know this: It's hard to feel relaxed when you haven't given yourself enough time to do so. Schedule mindfully. @SenseiWhitfield

Not sure who I'm speaking to but I feel like this is very specific to one person in particular that you really have been cramming your schedule. You've been a tight schedule, crammed to the max because you're trying to get as much done as possible. You have a lot of responsibilities. Understood.

And the Guides are saying while you're cramming your schedule, try and cram more space in there for you.

Send me an email back, comment below, and let me know what's coming up for you in hearing this message about minding your time, and really nourishing your soul.

You deserve it. You really do. You work so hard, I know you do. I feel you. I'm right there with you.

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first ever week. We will see you next time. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Mind Your Time appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you suffer from chronic, free-floating anxiety?

Stress and overwhelm draining your joy and ability to focus?

Feeling emotionally "blocked" and wish there was a way to clear yourself?

Carrying excessive emotional energy can be exhausting, and we often carry way more than we're even conscious of; it especially shows up in how you feel during moments that should be quiet and peaceful (but are antsy or worry-filled, instead).

Over the years, I've researched and come across countless mental and spiritual exercises to alleviate stress and anxiety, and Spirit has asked us to share one with you this week.

Watch the above video to learn a fun and easy technique to clear your emotional energy now!

"I just can't turn off. I'm always on! HELP!"

This week’s video covers a technique for emotional clearing.

As you know I love following a lot of Doreen Virtue's work as a new-age spiritual psychologist and intuitive channel.

In particular, Spirit said this week we should teach to the Tribe one of her methods called "The Archangel Michael Vacuuming" technique for clearing emotional energy.

There are thousands of techniques for clearing emotional energy, and they are helpful to those of us who are "always on," suffering from constant stress, anxiety and even insomnia.

Always ready and in “fight or flight” mode? That’s because your adrenal glands are being overstimulated and overused.

Maybe you're feeling anxious and carrying your stress with you recently, or even right now, because there was a recent fight that you had with a loved one, or you received some scathing criticism at work, or someone was just kind of a jerk and rubbed you the wrong way and you just can't get it off of your mind...

And it keeps replaying over and over in your head.

You say to yourself things like: "This is what I would've said to him if things would have went differently." And you continue to argue inside yourself.

So we're still attached to the fight. Hours, days, weeks, months, even years after it's happened we're still carrying the emotional energy.

Though it happened in the past, right now all the emotional energy comes out fresh because we're being triggered by the attachment we agree (in the present) to maintain (to the past offense).

Another way that excessive emotional energy can creep up on us is irrational fear.

For example: are you afraid of a certain room in the house? Like the basement? Have you assigned your dark basement the title of "haunted" or generally creepy? LOL!

Know This: You are in charge of how you feel right now. And you can choose to feel better. #takecharge #stressedout

The truth is, you give the basement it's creepy power over your emotions. Even if it is actually haunted, you don't have to feel afraid of or victimized by that!

If emotional energy is dominating your life, then that means YOU are carrying it around with you – re-upping it, reintegrating it, reactivating things that are done and over with.

And it’s up to YOU, and nobody else, to change that.

You can start by clearing some of it out. And a wonderful technique for doing that is the Archangel Michael Vacuuming meditation.

HOW TO DO IT:

1. Ask Archangel Michael, "Please be vacuum out my negative emotions right now."
2. Visualize him just above you with a huge healing vacuum in his hands.
3. See him sucking up all of the negative and dark emotional energy that is in your body, starting at the top of your head, down to your feet. The more you watch him do this, using your imagination, the better it works.
4. Then ask Archangel Michael, "Please bring your healing white light hose, and fill me in with healing white light. Dense, healing, high vibrational energy."
5. Visualize him with a fire hose filling your entire body in; the light comes out of it like marshmallow, very thick, very dense. Start again from the top of your head, down to your feet.
6. Once it's completed, say "thank you and so it is." And you're done!

The point is to play with your inner child while doing this.

This is not that serious, people!

Don't miss out on the power of this meditation right now because of your ego, growling “Grr! I’m a board-certified lawyer skeptic person and I hate marshmallows and angels are ridiculous! Gimmie my Xanax and forget this froo-froo BS!"

Relax, because the more playful and imaginative you are, the less stress and overwhelm you are capable of carrying, and the less stress you put on your adrenals.

On the other hand, you may be reading this and feel totally cool with angels, fairies, unicorns and rainbows.

If that's you, then High Five!

BUT WATCH IT!

As you're seeing Archangel Michael do a very detailed job, getting every single crevice completely saturated with healing white light until it is completely done, make sure that you're JUST watching, you're not taking the nozzle and doing it for him.

Just observe, let go, let him do his work. You can TRUST him. He happens to be an Archangel you know. They kinda know what they're doing.

Watch this week’s video strategy to be guided through this meditation and feel the healing energy flow!

In Love and Light,

Are you tired of feeling stressed out, anxious and easily distracted?

Feel like you can't "turn off" your mind and give yourself a rest?

Wondering what the heck meditation really is exactly?

To many people, meditation is a mystery or seems impossible. Still others think you have to be some monk cooped up in a mountain all day and night to meditate -- but this is totally not true!

It's actually quite easy -- you can even start meditating in just 10 seconds right here and now! That is, you can do it if you change your mindset about what meditation is.

Watch the above video to learn how you can get started meditating now!

"I can't meditate."

This week, Spirit is asking that we cover an introduction to meditation.

Well it's about time! I can't tell you how many people I've met, not only over the course of doing my work over these last few years, but also even on a daily basis or when I'm out networking to share what we do here at the dojo for more people, who ask me the same questions about this.

So many people are asking, "Well how exactly do I get started with meditation?" "What is it?" "What's the right way?" I shrink, by the way, from that question “What's the right way to do meditations?” Your way is the right way.

Here's why: what matters most is how you feel.

The more you're able to create a healing, peaceful, calm, clear, and confident state within you, the better! It’s essential that you do whatever it takes to get yourself to a space of clarity, confidence, calm and health.

This is my intention that I hold whenever I'm teaching meditation or whenever I'm doing it for myself, doing energy work, or speaking, or sharing: that you find whatever you need to do to get to the space is the right for you.

One of the very first techniques for meditation that I learned from my Guides to start sharing with others as well as what I mastered first what I call “The Calm-Down Breath.”

Breathwork in general, if you want to Google that, as an approach to meditation is brilliant for stress relief and creating a better space of homeostasis: that calm, clarity and peacefulness that should be a product of a regular meditative practice.

If you're not feeling like you're moving towards a greater state of health and balance, or a greater state of self-awareness and self-acceptance as a result of your meditative practice, you're doing it “wrong.”

I never really say that, but in general if what you're doing isn't increasing the good in your life, or bringing you closer to who you really are, then stop. Just stop!

Know This: If what you're doing right now isn't increasing the good in your life in some way, then stop. Just STOP! #focus #selfcare

If you're in a meditation class that makes you feel inferior, or if you're in a presence of someone who makes you feel less of yourself and more of them, and the “them” that you're becoming isn't a reflection of who you really are and isn't resonating, put the brakes on it!

That's the type of permission that we need to create in our own selves: that if this isn't increasing my joy, if this isn't bringing me more love, if this isn't expanding my horizons I am free to go.

Spirit really wants you to know that the purpose of meditation is to bring love to your mental “dragons” or “monkey mind” of fear and people-pleasing.

The act of meditating is coming into your inner space mentally and emotionally, as well as spiritually speaking and physically, but really from a mental driven exercise.

All of the other parts of life – the emotional, physical, spiritual, social, financial, nutritional – all of the others outside of the mental aspect of meditation, those are all effects of your mental focus on a mental exercise.

First and foremost, let’s define it. Exactly, what the heck is meditation? It's mental exercise. What are we exercising? What muscle are we flexing, or massaging, activating or exploring, and learning about? What muscle? That is the muscle of “Relaxed Focus.”

In and of itself the idea of Relaxed Focus is a spiritual practice, it's a mystery until you really start encountering her first hand through meditation.

If we are able to maintain a state of Relaxed Focus, then all those other areas of life – the physical, emotional, social, financial, environmental, etc. – are affected.

When you're getting started meditating, a great way to work with getting used to it is the Calm Down Breath.

It's a simple mental exercise of inhaling the thought and intention “calm” and exhaling the thought and intention “down.” It’s that simple.

As you're inhaling you're thinking the word “calm,” as you exhale you’re thinking the word “down.” Imagine that as you inhale, you can feel calm moving through your body, the idea, the image of what it would look like.

Then imagine that as you exhale, you can feel this “energy” moving down and releasing out of your body. Once you get used to imagining that, what you want to do is repeat this form of deep breathing for ten seconds.

Try it now. You have ten seconds right now to practice breathing the Calm Down Breath...

Did you feel that word and intention move through you?

Did you notice any shift in your energy or adjustment in your body?

Did you notice that your mind had to redirect?

Maybe you need to close your eyes so you could focus better on the sensations and imaginations.

By the way, congratulations! You just meditated for ten seconds!

It's that easy getting started. Your next step is that to increase the time or the temporal value you assign to meditate. You can go for ten seconds and next set your cell phone timer for 1, 3 then 5 minutes. You hit the timer and then it does the countdown, just close your eyes and continue thinking “calm down,” inhaling calm and exhaling down.

The Calm Down Breath, just as a practice, a mental exercise can affect your physiology positively, the more temporal value you assign to it.

It can affect other areas of your life too because your mindset is shifting and that is the power of meditation.

There is also another very simple technique to add on to The Calm Down Breath, that can supercharge your ability to focus and get more things done with less effort, help you tame your monkey mind in the moment, and turn down anxiety, stress and distracting thoughts.

You’ll have to watch the rest of this week’s video strategy to find out what it is!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Getting Started with Meditation appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Having a hard time letting something go?

Still angry about what happened and can't forgive them, or yourself?

Know you "should" stop holding on to the past, but just don't know how?

It seems like every therapist, spiritual teacher, healer and guru tells us to "let go" so we can heal. But it seems like they just don't see how that is WAY easier said than done, right? JEEZ!

One way you can begin to let go and forgive is to understand why you're holding on, and what causes you to hold on in the first place.

Watch the above video to learn how to begin letting go to free yourself from the toxic energy of unforgiveness!

"Ugh. Really? Here we go again! Let's get back on and go for a ride on that old rollercoaster of emotions!"

Isn't it exhausting when the same old stuff just keeps coming up over and over?

You would think that you'd be fine by now, after all you've been through, right? You gave yourself space, said you were moving on, said you were done with the issue - you basically did everything that you were "supposed to" do.

And yet here it is again, the same old feeling is biting you in the butt and getting your emotions all riled up, reviving the whole sick cycle of feelings that you buried.

Perhaps you see that person that betrayed you years ago. Perhaps you watch a movie that triggers a memory. Or perhaps you happen to smell something that reminds you of how things used to be.

Then comes the anger, the sadness, the drama. They all fall on your head fresh like a ton of bricks. Wham!

You say to yourself: "They hurt me. How could this happen? This shouldn't have happened. Why does this always happen to me? It's not fair! It's wrong! It's wrong, damnit! I don't deserve this!" and so on...

Suddenly you find yourself angrily rejecting what happened or what "they" did all over again as if it's happening now, and it makes you feel clear, strong, and "in the right" - justifying how far you've come and what you've learned, how good of a person it made you, etc.

But at the same time, you feel grief and ache, having lost your innocence to that experience.

Pumping yourself up every so often like this always feels artificial as the underlying grief of having lost part of your innocence to what happened continues to weigh on your spirit... Sound familiar?

This is the cycle of unforgiveness.

And it's maddening.

Time is just an emotion; it's made up. And the feeling of unforgiveness is actually proof that time doesn't exist, because it can cause "old" experiences to be brand new in the moment because they are so full of emotion.

In fact, your brain knows that time doesn't exist, and so once you start reliving the emotions of the "past" your brain can and will send signals to your body to trigger your fight or flight response - your heart rate increases, your palms and armpits sweat, your jaw tightens, your digestion stops and your stress hormones release more and more.

All this from thoughts you keep thinking, or get triggered to think of again.

Being re-triggered and reliving these issues like this creates a fertile breeding ground for disease in your body and dis-ease in your life, by the way.

Chronic pain and illness are often caused by habitual holding on or an addiction to unforgiveness. It is the body screaming against these toxic emotions being in your system.

You see, your body knows that those emotions and feelings are bad for you, so s/he will do whatever it takes to grab your attention to tell you that something mentally, emotionally or spiritually is seriously out of alignment - and you can gauge how out of alignment you are by how severe your body's disease is manifesting.

But how the heck do you kick an addiction to unforgiveness?

Well, the same way you would kick any addiction: start with WHY. It all starts with understanding WHY you would be addicted to unforgiveness in the first place.

Know this: Letting go starts with finding out why you're holding on in the first place. And it usually boils down to CONTROL. #forgiveness #freeyourmind

Here's the thing: no matter what happened that rubbed you the wrong way, it happened, and it made you feel powerless and not in control of your life and feelings in that moment.

Because of that, your identity - or "ego" - was compromised, and in the moment it (identity/ego) basically flipped the "freak out switch" to defend itself by getting angry, rebelling and infusing the situation with all kinds of inflammatory emotions.

These inflammatory emotions are meant to protect you, so you could survive the experience and continue living; they are part of your psyche's evolutionary, primal protective mechanism.

Think of the inflammatory emotions as inflating a big bubble suit around your body/essence to serve as a buffer that allows you to keep going, just like an airbag deploys in a car crash to save your life.

But what if you continued to live inside that mangled car after the car crash, holding on to the airbags for dear life?

Think of it. It's years later, and the wrecked car is overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, perhaps birds and squirrels have made their nests in the rubble, and people are driving past you on the highway in brand new cars totally oblivious to the fact that you're still living inside this car wreck just because the airbag deployed and made you feel safe ONCE.

That's what holding on looks like, and it's time to be willing to set yourself free from a self-imposed imprisonment.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows us how to let go and forgive for good!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

Take an inventory of past experiences that still trigger negative emotions for you by writing it down in your journal.

Then ask yourself and journal about these two questions: "1) How does feeling these emotions now make me feel justified, powerful or in control of what happened to me in the past? and 2) Can I just decide to feel powerful now without thinking about or basing my feeling upon what happened?"

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