Do you seldom feel truly rested?

Is it hard for you to relax, because you secretly think it’s a waste of time?

Wish you could increase your productivity and your wellness, instead of trading one for the other?

Type-A personalities tend to have a hard time really resting and feeling relaxed because they’re wired to value getting as many things done as possible above their feelings and wellbeing.

This can lead to chronic anxiety and stress, as well as cycles of depression and burnout if left unchecked.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the third in our 4-week series on Your Daily PRP’s, to put an end to this vicious cycle and instead adopt a practice of restful productivity.

"I feel lazy when I take breaks."

This is week three of four in our four-week series on Your Daily PRPs.

If you don't know what PRP stands for, stop the video now and go back to week one where we explained exactly what PRPs are and why you need them. So, without further ado, if you do know what's going on, this week in particular we're going to cover the second letter in that acronym PRP, the R which stands for "Rest."

The reason why we get our daily PRP nutrition in is so that you have the energy and the stamina to pursue your passion and purpose for the long haul. This, when you implement is as a proactive regularized practice, whether it is on a daily basis or weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, right? However you schedule it in for yourself, it will stave off or even put an end to cycles of burnout, being overworked, feeling cranky, overwhelmed, and pushing yourself past your limit.

In particular, this week that we're talking about with rest is having restful productivity. I know that kind of sounds like an oxymoron, if I have any of my type As watching. Yay. All my creepy control enthusiasts, all my perfectionistas, yes, yes, where everything has got to be perfect. Be kind to yourself if that's you.

You might be burning the candle at both ends by adopting the type A, get it done perfectly as fast as possible, as efficiently as possible all the time. There's a way to be restful and productive at the same time.

Now, my guides have given me a four-step process to share with you this week in particular so that you can get to implementing restful productivity, so that you have the stamina to pursue your passion and purpose for the long haul. You ready for it?

Number one, unplug. Write this down, by the way. Get a pen and pad or open up another window, whatever you guys do or ... inscribe it on your brains.

Number one, unplug. In order to rest but also to be fully productive, your ability to focus, not just on a mental level but also a physical level is called for and unplugging is necessary. What does that mean? No TV, phone, tablet, laptop, computer, no plugging into technology. The less technology period you can be around ...

I was just talking about stuff that makes you connected to the worldwide webs-y things and cables and stuff. But if you wanna go completely native and have candlelight and all of that, the campfire, great. But, for those of us who are not able to do that, just unplug. Make it a point to unplug so that you can be focused on being restfully productive.

‪Know this: You can be restful AND productive.

Secondly, and this takes courage, it's time for you to rage. So, how are you going to rage? For some people it's getting at that heavy bag, and pow, pow, pow, pow. Let that bag have what it had coming! But, I also highly recommend that you use a written medium for your rage. So, have a rage journal. I have a rage journal, by the way.

Or, grab a piece of toilet paper and start writing on that, all the things that you hate, that annoy you, that make you angry, and cranky and frustrated. Write it out, write it out, write it out. Or, all those extra brown paper bags, time to write all over them. Write of all the things that you wanna get out of you and rage about. This is cathartic clearing. So, that's really going to help you be restful but it's also productive because you're bringing stuff up and out, getting it out of you.

Thirdly, is to release. The way that you release this practice is you can close the journal and leave it behind for a little bit, if you are okay with that. Or, if you need ultra secrecy take that toilet paper, flush it down the toilet. Let the crap go where it's supposed to, down the toilet pipes, right? Or, with your brown paper bag, rip it up into tiny pieces or even throw it in the fire pit and watch it burn. Bye-Bye! Right? Burn that crusty crap away.

So, release all of that energy that came out of you. Then leave it be. That you could do it for an hour, leave it be for an hour afterward, or even entire day, or week, who knows? What's important is the fourth and final step, and this is what makes it super productive, is to review. What came out of you, what you raged about, what makes you angry is actually what I call a dark gift, meaning a gift that comes in a darker kind of, not very attractive package, right? It's a learning gift.

So, the things that you raged about are signs and hints at where your boundaries are being overstepped. If you have any boundaries with love, right? Where you need more support in your life, in your business, or in your relationships. Where your desires are not being met. There's so much clarity that comes from raging and releasing and the review, that's fourth and final step, is essential for you grounding and receiving all of the gifts that came out of this restful productivity process at the end.

So, this is how to find your way through the resting process. Those of us who are type As, we tend to go on vacation, or enjoy the spa or have downtime and we're being as productive and go, go, go, as possible. We can't seem to turn off, can't seem to let go, because we gotta do everything on the list that we said we were going to do.

The reason why that happens is because you have pent up rage that you haven't released yet. So, this is your four steps process to be restful and productive. And you can do this. You can work it in, in many ways on a daily basis, in a little bit bigger ways on a weekly basis, more of a significant time space on the monthly or quarterly basis or once a year. Give yourself a bunch a time to really enjoy the sacred process.

So, I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. This month in particular we're journeying all month with the romance angels, another Doreen Virtue oracle cards deck. Thank you for your donations. Always welcome to receiving more. So, angels, what do we need to know right now about restful productivity as our daily PRP? Calling in your soulmate. Calling in your soulmate. Your prayers, affirmations, and visualizations help bring you together. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.

The reason why calling in your soulmate is coming up, is because when we clear our energy, when we clear all of that rage and inflammatory thoughts and feelings, when we release our emotions, we create the space to receive our divine partnerships. First with ourselves! Remember, all of this is really about your relationship with you. But, also, for those around us we're more receptive to their love and their support, whether it's in personal or professional relationships.

So, calling in a partner who's able to meet those needs that you discovered weren't being met yet, starting with you being that partner for you. Comment below, send me an email back. What comes up for you around that?

Are you going to do some productive rest time?

Let me know how that goes. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week, and we'll see you next time. Bye!

Feeling cranky lately?

Frustrated that you’re always on the go and never seem to feel “rested”?

Find yourself daydreaming about sleeping in, quitting your job or even running away?

Sounds like you’re exhausted from working too hard!

And not just at work, but also at home, too...

Watch this week’s 9-minute Love Letter video, the first of our 4-week series, on why it’s time for you to start valuing you “PRP’s” on a daily basis so you can get out of your rut.

"It would be lazy for me to take time for play and rest every day."

This is the first of a four-week installment, a brand-new four-week installment on your PRPs. You down with PRP? Yeah you know me. So good. So, this month and for the next four weeks, whenever you are watching this, we're going to be talking about getting you in-tune with your PRPs.

And this week we're going to talk about why you need to make time for your daily PRPs. And what does PRP stand for? Play, rest, and pleasure. These are three essential minerals in every healthy entrepreneurial little, in every healthy person's life, on a day-to-day basis.

You have gotta get play, rest, and pleasure in your daily life. Now, strategically of course we're going to expand that out on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, right? In increasing doses. But on a daily basis we want to make sure that we create space for your holistic health, with play, rest, and pleasure.

Why is this important to have daily space for play, rest, and pleasure? Isn't that irresponsible? Isn't that lazy? Isn't that .... What are the? You send me an email back, or a comment below. Tell me what are your inner monkeys saying as to why you can't have your daily PRP time.

Now, this is not to say that your entire day, every single day is going to be devoted to getting your three essential nutrients, but most certainly on a daily basis we are going to strategically create time and space. Starting now, and for the next four weeks, shall we? Okay.

So, the reason why your daily PRPs become so important, is because this is your fuel. This fuels you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We're going to be covering that over the next four weeks, but this why. Your PRPs as essential nutrients to your holistic health power you. You know life is a marathon. Living your purpose and pursuing your passions is a marathon experience.

Now, for most creative types we may think, "All right I'm going to ... at the last minute put everything together." Right? You push the clock, or procrastinate, put things off, and until after the fact or until the 11th hour then maybe I might rest. There's the phrase, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." Well, you know what? If you live that way, you will be getting to sleep faster than you think. Right?

Burn-out is very real, and it doesn't ever have to be an experience of yours, but if it has, this month in particular, and starting this week in particular. We are going to shut that down.

This is a writer downer. "Burn out may have happened in my past, but it will not happen in my future." #PRP

‪Know this: ‪“#Burnout May have happened in my past, but I will NOT have one in the future.”

Let's do this. So, that's why it's to pro-actively fill your cup on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Progressively over time, so that you have creative juices, so that you have the energy to pursue your passions, so that you feel healthy and have a sense of fulfillment in life. You don't have to wait until you're old and retired and can't enjoy life, in order to engage and prioritize your PRPs.

With that being said, the oracle cards for the month are calling. And that is the romance angels oracle cards deck. Oh how romantic. So, we're going to be journeying with this deck all month, over the next four weeks, whenever you're watching this. One of many decks.

You can always hit the contact page on victoriawhitfield.com to find my mailing address. Always receiving donations if you want, or gifts if you'd love to gift me a deck. Yeah. Okay.

Angels what do we need to know right now about why it's so important to work PRPs into our regular diet? This is so powerful. Religious factors. Let's get to it. Your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual past.

Now, by the way this deck talks a lot about relationships and love of course, it's the romance deck. So, for those of you who are single and looking, or single and not looking, remember this is a relationship with yourself, right your inner being. And for those who are in a relationship, remember that this is about your relationship with yourself, and your inner being, as well as your partners or those we are working with.

Religious factors, your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path. This is where we're going to bring it to at close for the week.

You know, you may have been brought up in a religious, or philosophical, or social system that told you to put others first, to essentially give up your needs, right, to the service of others, right. To give up the pleasures in life, that living in denial of your own sense of play, rest, and pleasure, is holy, or honorable, or like, "Oh you sacrificed for us." Just like this person or these people sacrificed in these stories, according to that religious, or philosophical, or social system that you've been brought up, or psychological system that you've been brought up in, or adopted over time.

With love, I am not saying that you need to like throw that out of the window, that is at your discretion, that's your relationship between you and God, or you and source, or you and your higher self, your inner self. Right? And I would strongly advise you this week in particular to evaluate how your beliefs about your PRPs on a daily basis, play, rest, and pleasure are effecting your health. Is it serving you or hindering you?

Type in the comments below. Send me an email back what's coming up for you. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first, ever week.

I'm looking forward to your responses. Are you read for a deep dive into play, rest, and pleasure? Let's do it. Okay. I'll see you next time. Bye.

Struggling to keep up with your never-ending to-do list?

Jam-packed days at the office zapping your energy?

Feeling like you're headed for burnout?

More often than not we identify success as "getting things done."

But what happens to our idea of success when there's too much to do and not enough "you" to go around?

Watch this weeks 8-minute Love Letter video to redefine success to include rest as well as productivity!

"I just need to finish one last thing."

This week in particular, the guides have a message for you. One word. Rest.

Rest.

There's a few questions that I kept hearing as I was preparing to shoot this letter for you, and here were the questions:

• • What do you look like when you are at rest?

• When you are at rest, what do you look like?

Perhaps, you want to close your eyes if you can or imagine if you can't at the moment while you're listening to me.

What do you look like when you are at rest? When you're not responsible for doing anything, when you're not actively performing or producing or sharing etc, when you're not taking action. What do you look like when you are just at rest?

Then from there, seeing that image, the guides shifted the question. I love how they did this.

What do you look like when you are rested?

It's a whole another kind of worms there, right? What do you look like when you are rested?

• • How does your face look?

• • How do you hold your shoulders?

• • How do your hips, knees, and feet feel when you are rested?

• How does your head feel? What are your thoughts like when you are rested?

It's important for you to tune in this right now, tune into this as you are reading or as you are listening to this love letter right now.

When you pay attention, how do you rest in your attention paying?

• • Are your eyes strained?

• • Are your brows furrowed?

• • Is your jaw tighter?

• • Are your shoulders hunched?

• • Are your heaps crunched?

• • Is there a tension in pushing that you sustain because you are giving attention?

• Or are you restful in the way that you give your attention?

Then, lastly, what do you look like when you are rested? Do you even have an idea of what you would be like if you were rested?

If you came back from a lovely five-day vacation just for the sake of literally sleeping in a beautiful location, you didn't have to do anything. Just sleeping or just walking outdoors, or running outdoors enjoying scenery. No responsibility.

What would you look like? What would that look like for you?

The guides are telling me that now is the time for you to journal about think and feel envision into these questions because you're really exhausted.

It's okay for you to admit that some things just make you tired, being tired doesn't mean that you're wrong, being tired means you need rest.

Know this: You can be successful and well rested. It is not a trade-off.

Here come the Oracle cards calling in the energy this week.

It's the Archangel Raphael Oracle Cards Deck another Doreen Virtue Deck. One of 19 and counting as of just tuning of this video but it's always shifting.

I'm happy to receive gifts as well as donations, oracle cards deck. You seen one that you think, "Oh my God, this would be amazing for Victoria to do a reading on?" Send in my way. Send me an email at senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com if you need my mailing address.

Okay, so Archangel Raphael, what do we need to know right now? What do we need to know right now about rest? Have faith. Have faith.

"Dear, Jesus and Archangel Raphael, thank you for boosting my faith so that I made trust in miracles."

To whoever you vibrate with, having faith is risky business.

It takes a certain level of trust, openness, vulnerability and uncertainty to have faith.

Right now, I'm hearing the guides say, "You may think that image of you being rested what you look, would take a miracle, like seriously?" What you see like, "are you kidding me Victoria? Rested?" "All of these people depend on me and blah, blah, blah, blah."

All right. All the excuses start flying out of us and why we're not allowed to rest? Or, let me just do this one last thing.

The "just", just want us come flying out.. Let this be your periodic reminder that you're going to have faith in yourself. You can do this and you're worth it.

All right, so send me an email back, comment below.

What do you envision yourself as being rested? Type that out. It's so powerful to even at least express it.

Come on over to the Facebook as well to share your idea of being rested, I'd love to see a video share of you because that's always the highest vibration. Don't let it just be me sending you videos, I want to see your lovely face. Muah.

I'll see you next week make sure you subscribe on YouTube so you get your love letters first each time.

All right? See you next time. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Feeling the urge to get away?

Ready for a change of scenery?

Still putting off that vacation you've been meaning to take?

Here's your periodic reminder -- it's time to go on a Retreat!

You give and give, and it's time to rest and refresh yourself.

Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter to see if it's time for YOU to "re-treat yourself" ASAP!

"I'm feeling stir crazy lately."

I feel like I can see you through the camera right now. You look tired. No offense, but you look so tired.

Have you been feeling exhausted lately? Something about the energy lately just might have been feeling a bit heavy or sluggish.

Maybe you're just ready for a change of pace. Maybe it's been winter for a while and you're done. Maybe you've been working on this one project and you're just kind of done. Maybe someone's been staying longer than you expected them to. I don't know who I'm speaking to. I'm talking to you.

Something is ready to shift and release out of you.

You're ready for a fresh start, because we're just kind of tired of how things have been going lately.

You feel it. Your body feels sluggish and achy. You're having a hard time coming up with creative ideas, maybe where to go out to eat next, or maybe what is another fun thing to do with your partner. What's a better way to communicate with your team, et cetera, your kids?

Source says, "It's time for you to have your periodic reminder."

The alarm clock is going off. It's time for you to retreat yourself. Retreat yourself. This isn't like turn into a turtle and retreat from everybody. No, not exactly.

You're not retreating into your shell, but instead you're having a change of scenery.

Source says, "It's time for you to refresh the routine, refresh the status quo, and do a little creative shift of your environment by retreating yourself."

Now, what does that look like? What does that look like? Does it mean flying across the country, or picking up and leaving everybody and going across the world?

What matters most is how you feel.

If that inspires you and you're like, "Yeah. I can do that. I have all the systems in place to do it," go for it. Absolutely.

However, if picking up and flying out to London for a week, or picking up and flying out to Morocco for two weeks or something is not exactly something you can just do at the drop of a hat, you can retreat yourself right here by having a staycation. 

It's important for you to be a good steward of your natural energy. Your intuition has been calling out recently.

Your intuition, that inner part of you, your inner child's been saying, "I'm bored. I feel stir crazy. I'm feeling a little bit cooped up lately."

It's time for us to have a change of scenery.

Where will you go? Will you have a wonderful staycation where you make your home and space beautiful for yourself and you have no requirements, no responsibilities for let's say, three, four, seven days?

Is it a local bed and breakfast where you just shack up and enjoy yourself, enjoy not having to have to make the bed, not having to have to cook the breakfast, or enjoy the trees and the squirrels shouting at you through the window, whatever makes you feel joyful and free?

It's time for you to have a change of scenery and retreat yourself. You work so hard. You give so much. You're a natural giver. It's time to receive now.

Speaking of receiving, I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. The romance angels, yes. This is the love and romance deck. It's not just for partnerships, but it's for love and romance in all of life.

Yes, there are angels that are specifically dedicated to love and romance. Did you know that?

Angels cards, what do we need to know this week about retreating ourselves?

How can we retreat ourselves? Felt that. This is so good.

Healing family issues.

That hit the nail on the head.

Know this: Source says it's time for a change of scenery for you; time to go on a retreat!

"Your love life benefits as you forgive your parents." The angels just took this to a whole other level. "It's important for you to create sacred space for yourself to process some of your emotions," the guides say.

With the angels mentioning this specifically about forgiveness of your parents, periodically we need to go within, go on retreat, and clean up any residual early childhood issues that may be coming up in our current life.

They do. It's cyclical. Life is cyclical. All the time, my students come to me and say, "I already did that workshop. I already read that book. I already did that meditation where I forgave, and I cut the cord, and I let the bird fly out of my chest and all of that because of my parents and my childhood."

Yeah, do it again times daily for the rest of your life. How's that? It never stops. Learning never stops.

I know I'm being blunt, but I'm being honest with you. I don't want to sugar coat this, because it's actually the truth. The learning really does never stop.

It's important for you to create space for healing your family issues, whether it's "I'm just overwhelmed", "I feel like I've lost myself being mom." "I don't even have a name anymore." "I'm just mom this, mom that, mom this." "My husband doesn't even call me by my name anymore. I miss hearing my name."

It's important for you to retreat yourself to come to terms with that thought feeling sensation, to process that, and so that you can then open up and develop new strategies for how you can show up claiming back your identity, and arriving and being part of the family unit.

It's the healing process, but you need space for it.

Send me an email back or comment below. What's coming up for you?

What are you going to heal when you retreat yourself? Where are you going on your retreat? Is it to the beach, or is it to the woods? Is it to the lake, or is to the desert? Where are you going to retreat yourself? Is it going to be in the comfort of your own home? Are you going to couch surf on somebody who you love, who is great at giving you space, or house sitting for them?

Let me know. I'm excited to hear how you retreat yourself this week, ASAP. You got it?

All right, I'm watching you, remember? I'm sending you so much love.

All right, I'll see you next week in the next love letter. Subscribe on YouTube so that you get it first. Ready? Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Retreat Yourself 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,
