This is your source for channeled holisticstress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.</p>
<p>The title of today’s podcast episode is<span> </span><strong>Your Micro-Niche</strong>.</p>
<p>So, I just got back from facilitating a local women’s empowerment networking meeting and the topic of our presenter was Micro-Nichesand how she was able to grow her business from $0 to $100K by getting super-duper specific around what her micro-niche is, and she was sharing about learning more about this and what the exact process is.</p>
<p>By the way, special shout out to Evelyn Cucchiara, the Toy Tamer from thetoytamer.com. That’s who was speaking, and it is an honor to get to be with you, Goddess. Thank you so much for your inspiration.</p>
<p>I just wanted to make sure that I share here on the podcast some of my favorite takeaways from the meeting because we were going back and forth. And the way that I facilitate our chapter meetings, is making sure that every single person who shows up, that their voice is heard. So, it’s my favorite way to get to give back to the community, leading a local meeting and also making sure that every single person’s voice is heard.</p>
<p>It’s a women’s empowerment networking group but for some reason my chapter keeps attracting men here and there and I’m not going to turn that away because guys are awesome too and guys need empowerment too.</p>
<p>So, sending you so much love if you are just tuning in for the first time, go ahead and subscribe to the Journeypreneur podcasts on iTunes so that you can get these new episodes first. But let’s get back to the magic of the Micro-Niche, and how you can find yours.</p>
<p>Let's talk about it!</p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Waiting for the right moment to present itself?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Wondering when you should make that move you've been thinking of for some time now?<br />
</em></h2>
<h2><em>Want to go for your goal, but don't know if you're ready yet?</em></h2>
<p>Source says you have permission to proceed this week!</p>
<p>But there's more to moving forward with your plans than you think.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter video to better understand how to get going on that new opportunity the Universe is sending you!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3610"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"When do I tell them that I care about them?"</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">This week, Source wants to let you know, that you have permission to proceed.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You've got it. You ready? Incoming permission slip, right through the screen to you right now.&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">The Guides are saying that it's been a long&nbsp;time coming, that you've been wondering:</span></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I get to know if I'm ready yet?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I get to know if this is the right time for me to move forward with that vision that I've been having?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I move forward with the goals that I've been setting for myself?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I start that new cleanse program or exercise program?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I tell them that I care about them, and express my feelings?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em>"When do I buy into that program or treatment package that I have been thinking about?"</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em>"When do I set up that vacation, or a conference ticket? When do I book my flight?"</em></li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed. This is what the Guides want to transmit to you, in particular today.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>We want to be specific: you have permission to proceed for yourself. This has to do with only you.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure&nbsp;to temper a bit of that enthusiasm you're getting:&nbsp;<em>"All right, yes, I can change him."</em> No, no, no!&nbsp;That is not what we're talking about.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Energy says though YOU have permission to proceed.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you're feeling like you've been holding back a compulsion whether or not you should give that suggestion to that person or give them that constructive criticism feedback, etc.&nbsp;Source says, you can only proceed forward if you get their explicit permission.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">If you have a push to really want to tell someone, <em>"You need to do this"</em> or <em>"You need to do this better,"</em> the reason why you have that push, is because that advice is for you.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The reason why that's happening is because that is meant for you to heal your life. People are sacred mirrors of your own spiritual energy.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Have you asked yourself why you're so worried about the suggestion that you're trying to give that other person? Are you really living it yourself yet?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/Aznhx"><strong><span class="s1">Know this:&nbsp;Worry will die when you increase your faith. Go for it this week and trust yourself! @SenseiWhitfield</span></strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://ctt.ec/Aznhx"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64"></a></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This message is especially to those of you who are friends, spouses coaches, mentors, managers; it's for those in an authority role who are reading right now, who give incredible, insightful, awesome advice, that can sometimes be given unwarranted. Be kind to yourself if that's you.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">It's time that you step out first in that direction rather than just tossing your advice or your suggestions on someone without getting that person's permission first.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed forward with the advice that you desire to give.&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">Go ahead and implement it.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">For the rest of us who are&nbsp;not necessarily about giving advice, this message is different because it pertains to a new goal or initiative that you've been working on;&nbsp;yes, you're worthy, you're okay, move forward.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Guides are telling me now to pull from the Oracle Cards deck. "Angel Answers" is a yes-no deck, one of many donated decks here at the Dojo.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">(You can always send donations to The Dojo by</span><span class="s1">&nbsp;emailing me at senseivictoriawhitefield@gmail.com if you would like to donate an oracle card &nbsp;deck&nbsp;that you just don't really use anymore.)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Angels, what do we really need to know right now about permission to proceed? This feels strong. <em>"No Need to Worry;" </em>this is so big.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This basically hits the nail on the head and this is why we're going to leave off.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>The reason why we need permission to proceed is because we're worrying ourselves into a tizzy.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's okay. You can go forward, let go of worry. Worry only happens when you are trying to control something that is outside of your energy. Trust your gut.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">Worry will die when you increase your faith. If only just for now, believe that there's no need to worry.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Let it go, and take a step of faith forward in the direction of whatever Source is guiding you towards.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm curious to hear what's coming for you hearing this week's message. If it spoke to you, let me know. I love feedback.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your Love Letters first every week.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">See you next time. Bye!</span></p>

<p>But there's more to moving forward with your plans than you think.</p>

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"When do I tell them that I care about them?"</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">This week, Source wants to let you know, that you have permission to proceed. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You've got it. You ready? Incoming permission slip, right through the screen to you right now.&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">The Guides are saying that it's been a long&nbsp;time coming, that you've been wondering:</span></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I get to know if I'm ready yet?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I get to know if this is the right time for me to move forward with that vision that I've been having?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I move forward with the goals that I've been setting for myself?" </span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I start that new cleanse program or exercise program?" </span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em><span class="s1">"When do I tell them that I care about them, and express my feelings?"</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em>"When do I buy into that program or treatment package that I have been thinking about?"</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li class="p1"><em>"When do I set up that vacation, or a conference ticket? When do I book my flight?"</em></li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed. This is what the Guides want to transmit to you, in particular today.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>We want to be specific: you have permission to proceed for yourself. This has to do with only you.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure&nbsp;to temper a bit of that enthusiasm you're getting:&nbsp;<em>"All right, yes, I can change him."</em> No, no, no!&nbsp;That is not what we're talking about. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Energy says though YOU have permission to proceed. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you're feeling like you've been holding back a compulsion whether or not you should give that suggestion to that person or give them that constructive criticism feedback, etc.&nbsp;Source says, you can only proceed forward if you get their explicit permission.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">If you have a push to really want to tell someone, <em>"You need to do this"</em> or <em>"You need to do this better,"</em> the reason why you have that push, is because that advice is for you.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The reason why that's happening is because that is meant for you to heal your life. People are sacred mirrors of your own spiritual energy.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Have you asked yourself why you're so worried about the suggestion that you're trying to give that other person? Are you really living it yourself yet?</span></p>

<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/3Zf2f"><strong><span class="s1">Know this:&nbsp;Worry will die when you increase your faith. Go for it this week and trust yourself! @SenseiWhitfield</span></strong></a></h2>
<p><a href="http://ctt.ec/3Zf2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64"></a></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This message is especially to those of you who are friends, spouses coaches, mentors, managers; it's for those in an authority role who are reading right now, who give incredible, insightful, awesome advice, that can sometimes be given unwarranted. Be kind to yourself if that's you. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">It's time that you step out first in that direction rather than just tossing your advice or your suggestions on someone without getting that person's permission first. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have permission to proceed forward with the advice that you desire to give.&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">Go ahead and implement it. </span></p>
<p class="p1">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">For the rest of us who are&nbsp;not necessarily about giving advice, this message is different because it pertains to a new goal or initiative that you've been working on;&nbsp;yes, you're worthy, you're okay, move forward. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Guides are telling me now to pull from the Oracle Cards deck. "Angel Answers" is a yes-no deck, one of many donated decks here at the Dojo. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">(You can always send donations to The Dojo by</span><span class="s1">&nbsp;emailing me at senseivictoriawhitefield@gmail.com if you would like to donate an oracle card &nbsp;deck&nbsp;that you just don't really use anymore.)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Angels, what do we really need to know right now about permission to proceed? This feels strong. <em>"No Need to Worry;" </em>this is so big. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This basically hits the nail on the head and this is why we're going to leave off. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>The reason why we need permission to proceed is because we're worrying ourselves into a tizzy.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's okay. You can go forward, let go of worry. Worry only happens when you are trying to control something that is outside of your energy. Trust your gut. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">Worry will die when you increase your faith. If only just for now, believe that there's no need to worry. </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Let it go, and take a step of faith forward in the direction of whatever Source is guiding you towards.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm curious to hear what's coming for you hearing this week's message. If it spoke to you, let me know. I love feedback. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your Love Letters first every week.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">See you next time. Bye!</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Stuck at a personal development plateau?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Hit a road block on your healing journey?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Annoyed that things aren't progressing further along, no matter how hard you try?</em></h2>
<p>When we decide to take charge of our lives and make time to make a change initially it yields fast and exciting results, and because the changes are brand new, they excite us and give us an ego boost.</p>
<p>Inevitably though, there comes a point in everyone's healing journey where we reach a developmental plateau in helping ourselves -- and this can be particularly frustrating.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter&nbsp;to&nbsp;learn what to do when you're feeling stuck in your self-help journey.</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-2361"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<em>I have this under control. I can really help myself.</em>"</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1">This week Source&nbsp;wanted to talk to you about feeling stuck in your self help, specifically cycles of self help.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>We've got books, we've got sprays, we've got candles, we've got classes and workshops and certifications, oh my!</strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">At some point it appears that we've hit a bit of a roadblock, where we're just preparing and preparing and helping ourselves and helping ourselves and helping ourselves, and nothing's really moving farther along. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;">Your strategy for this week is to practice asking. Asking for help, in particular. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Immediately I'm feeling some kind of prickly things in the energy from some of the Tribe who's watching right now. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Prickly thoughts like, <em>"Oh, I have this under control. I can really help myself. I have a book,"</em> or, <em>"I have a certificate, I should be able with all the knowledge that I have right now, I should be able to shift my situation on my own."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Now to some extent, absolutely, yes you can shift your situation on your own. </span><span class="s1">On your own you can make great strides. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">On your own you can learn the importance of taking personal responsibility and taking your own power back, and really identifying that, <em>"Yes, this is my life and I'm going to write my own story. I'm going to reinvent myself."</em> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">In fact that's a powerful strategy in and of herself: t</span><span class="s1">ell yourself, <em>"I am reinventing myself, I am rewriting my life story right now."</em></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">However you may have been at that for a while now if you're watching this video in particular because the books like we're reading the Chopra-Oprah-Tolle-Hicks-Hay-Virtue etc.&nbsp;-- we've got everybody feeding us spiritually, which is incredible. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>We're taking in and we're taking in from incredible masters... and then we notice nothing's happening.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Privately, we think to ourselves in exasperation:</span><em><span class="s1"> "I've taken this financial abundance love attraction course and I haven't manifested enough money to really do that thing I wanted to -- pay the bills or pay off my debt. I wrote it on my goal card and it didn't happen."</span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>What do you do, when we're hitting obstacles and roadblocks or feeling a sense of stagnation or being blocked?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Here's what you do: get yourself emotionally&nbsp;ready to being willing to ask for assistance, because self help can only take you so far when you are by yourself.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: <a href="http://ctt.ec/WLfH9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#SelfHelp can only get you so far. Plateaued? Then it's time to reach out and ASK for help. #nextlevel #success @SenseiWhitfield</a></span></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://ctt.ec/WLfH9"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64"></a></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>It's time to find support and talk to your tribe.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Bring your problem up and out of you and into the hands of at least one other being who is open, caring, a champion for you naturally, someone who just celebrates you and who is curious about issues and helping, who loves being there to listen. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Bring it up and out of you. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">For whatever reason this week in particular Source is saying it's time for you to ask for help.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Perhaps someone, maybe even me, has been on your mind lately. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You've been thinking:<em> "I know that I need to really reach out, but I'm going to try maybe just this one more thing,"</em> or, <em>"I'm going to try and figure this out on my own. I know I can do it, I've done it before."</em> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>At this level of your development, you need to accept that a new level is a new level. </strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We just need to accept that sometimes reaching out is the way to go to make it past our plateau. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy, now. It's the Healing with the Angels oracle cards deck -- Doreen Virtue's very first oracle cards deck.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This deck in particular came forward intuitively when I asked all the decks here at the dojo who wants to help with feeling stuck on self help. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><em>(I'm always receiving donations, by the way, if you wanted to donate an extra deck that you had. Email me about it at senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com)</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Angels what do we need to know right now to get out of our decision to be stuck in our self help journey? </span></p>

<p class="p1">Oh, Abundance!</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>There is infinite abundance around you of assistance, support, love, encouragement, championing. </strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #333333;"><strong>But you cannot unlock and receive this abundance until you go out of your comfort zone and pursue it by asking.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">That's a very open, vulnerable way of pursuing your next level, asking for the abundance which you seek. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">That's challenging, because it takes courage to ask for help, but we assure you that there, right underneath your nose is so much abundance of exactly what you need right now, down to the T. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You are within on degree of separation. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">This week, in fact this day in particular, you're within one degree of separation of the help that you need to move to your next level, but you have to step out of your comfort zone and ask for assistance now.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Comment below, send me an email back, what's coming up for you? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ask me what your question is about your plateau. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You know I'd be overjoyed to support you and answer any questions that you have!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But reach out, don't try and self help, do the do-it-yourself kinds of thing because Source says we're moving passed that paradigm. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>You're at a new level now and this new level includes working with your group, your community and leveraging. Okay? I'm sending so much love.</strong> </span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Wondering exactly how you can create a happy, healthy life, sooner rather than later?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling anxious and unsafe, as if you're constantly worried that other people or circumstances are going to steal your joy?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Do you know that you need to have stronger boundaries to better protect your positive energy, but don’t know where to start?</em></h2>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch the above 11-minute video to learn how balance protecting your energy WHILE staying open!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-1797"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<strong>My precious! My PRECIOUSSSS!” – Gollum</strong>"</b></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hi! Sensei Victoria with you here from victoriawhitfield.com for your weekly love letter. It's my last day in Negril, Jamaica at <a href="http://www.jackiesonthereef.com/">Jackie's on the Reef</a>&nbsp;and this week we are picking up on last week’s discussion of protecting your joy.</p>
<p><strong>It's very powerful to be in your joyful space, but you have to protect your joy.</strong></p>
<p>What does that mean? The first image in the energy that I get from off of the Tribe is,<em> "Well, you know, I'm not going to pay attention anybody else but me!"</em>&nbsp;Whoa there!</p>
<p>We have an impulse to block out others, or to avoid all negative stuff.&nbsp;We go overboard, thinking: <em>"I can't talk to that person, because they're crazy,"</em> or, <em>"I can't go outside, because everyone's going to steal my joy." </em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Let's be clear. Protecting your joy doesn't mean isolating yourself.</strong></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Those three steps, Source is saying, are how you protect your joy, just by having an active engaging relationship with her.</p>
<p>You don't have to put her in a box and hide it in the corner, obsessing like Gollum <em>"I'm protecting my joy! My precious, my precious is safe!"</em> No, no, no, no, no.</p>
<p>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 <a href="mailto:SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com">SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com</a> if you want to know more.)</p>
<p><strong>Now I'm hearing the Oracle cards for this week calling in the energy.</strong></p>
<p>Whenever I travel I always have at least one oracle cards deck with me, and this one is <u>Wisdom of The Hidden Realms</u> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>The card that is coming through for this topic is “The Metal King.”</strong></span></p>
<p>This is so appropriate, because he has to do with having and cultivating discipline, armor, and boundaries.&nbsp;Here’s the accompanying reading from the book:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Metal King is strong and arrives to lend you his impenetrable shield of protection.</p></blockquote>
<p>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!</p>
<p>So let's read more:</p>
<blockquote><p>No matter who sends you criticism or jealousy, you will not be hurt. This ally --</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh, someone in the Energy just stopped me there.&nbsp;Those are another two things that tend to steal our joy: being preoccupied with other people's criticism and other people's jealousy.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s the thing: if someone is critical of you, or jealous of you, that means that they notice you.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Criticism and jealousy received means that you are doing something big and noteworthy.</strong></p>
<p>Use this idea as your take-away from the criticism, instead of taking on their crap, and it can cultivate and increase your joy.</p>
<p>Think instead to yourself: <em>"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."</em></p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Let me continue the oracle card reading, then:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>By the way, that's a message straight to all of my empaths who are watching and reading right now: <em>Other's emotions are not yours.</em></strong></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The oracle card reading continues:</p>
<blockquote><p>Other's emotions are not yours, no matter how empathetic you may be.&nbsp;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.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>In the energy, Spirit is asking you to be clear about what self-esteem is for you. </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You do want to be conscious, but not shrinking, putting yourself down or hiding yourself with your self-awareness.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>The act of writing that list is going to create clear boundaries organically for you, through self-knowledge.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>And self-knowledge is always empowering.</p>
<h2><strong>Know this: <span style="color: #008080;">You don't have to shut people out in order to have healthy #boundaries. &nbsp;On the contrary, being who you really are creates clear boundaries!</span></strong></h2>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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 <em>"I hate people!"</em> and go lock ourselves away for a while, lol! You know?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p>I can feel the trees and the ocean and the coral reef down here at <a href="http://www.jackiesonthereef.com">Jackie’s On The Reef</a> in Negril, Jamaica agreeing, saying: "Send more joy! We're doing our best, but you're joy generators; it's very unique amongst humans.”</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>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?</strong></span></p>
<p>Share them with your TRIBE here, so we can encourage each other. Share it on the Facebook group, <a href="http://www.Facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook.com/SenseiVictoriaWhitfield</a>, or you can tweet me at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/SenseiWhitfield" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter.com/SenseiWhitfield</a>, and I'm open to hearing what you would like to share.</p>
<p>Sending you a big hug and kiss, and I will see you next week, back in the States. Bye!</p>
<p><em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</span></em></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Too scared to say what you mean to say?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling like you can't speak up about what's really weighing on your heart?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Do you keep your mouth shut because you're afraid that you'll be rejected or "look stupid" if you say what you think?</em></h2>
<p>Deep down we all know that things left unsaid can slowly eat away at us. But still, we don't say anything in an effort to "keep the peace."</p>
<p>Are we&nbsp;<em>really</em> keeping the peace though if it's at the expense of our health? Because inner turmoil and repressed feelings certainly aren't healthy!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch the above video to learn how to break the silence and speak up for yourself with love and healing!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-1776"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"Rock the boat!&nbsp;<strong>Don't rock the boat, baby. Rock the boat! Don't tip the boat over.</strong>"</b></span></p>
<p><strong>This week’s topic is about&nbsp;giving yourself the silent treatment.</strong></p>
<p>Why do we do that to ourselves? What does that mean?</p>
<p>When we're giving our-self the silent treatment, it means we are blocking out whatever we really want to say.</p>
<p>Perhaps there's a situation that's come up at work or at home with a loved one or your kids or friends that you've been interacting with. You feel like you just can't talk about it or you can't speak up.</p>
<p><strong>You feel like you’re out of bounds, telling yourself <em>“well, if I say that they're going to reject me” or “they're going to criticize me,” or “they're going to get emotional and I don't want to have to deal with all that.”</em></strong></p>
<p>Think about the situation now, as you read this. Do you feel like you can't speak up about what's really on your heart? Like you can't clear the air there?</p>
<p>Also, perhaps you may feel like if you do say something you're going to be singled out. And that’s the last thing you want is to be singled out as the “troublemaker” who rocked the boat or even tipped it over, right?</p>
<p><strong>We tell ourselves a million and one reasons why we should give ourselves the silent treatment and we cut off expression because we believe it’s for our own good.</strong></p>
<p><em>"It’s safer to just blend into the wallpaper." "I don't want anybody to feel like I'm making waves or that I'm getting too full of myself."</em></p>
<p>You know, in Australia my Australian friends have a name for this phenomena of giving yourself the silent treatment: it’s called the “tall poppy syndrome.”</p>
<p>In a beautiful field of poppies, if one grows taller, the gardener chops off her bloom because she stands out. So that means you shouldn't stand out too much, and anyone who does should be chopped down to size, to preserve status quo.</p>
<h2>Know This: <span style="color: #008080;">You may think you're "keeping the peace," but choosing not to speak your truth is actually a choice to do&nbsp;more harm than good to yourself and everyone involved. #speakup #clarity</span></h2>
<p>Although "tall poppy syndrome" is meant to protect the status quo, it's actually harmful, because it's based in fear. It is really just the fear of being seen and heard.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Whenever we actively engage in or operate from fear, this is energetically -- spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, etc. -- harmful. <em>Yes, it actively does harm.</em></strong></span></p>
<p>But, wait! There's more!</p>
<p>Giving yourself the silent treatment is not only the fear of being seen.&nbsp;On the flip side, it’s also the fear of being hurt.</p>
<p><strong>Spirit says that we give ourselves the silent treatment to avoid feeling hurt, and that one way this manifests is always apologizing or back-pedaling for something that we did or said.</strong></p>
<p>At the drop of a hat, we think to ourselves, “oh crap, that fell out of my mouth toward you so let me just try and do damage control.”</p>
<p>And so, as if you have a nervous tick, you immediately say “I didn't really mean that” or are just always saying “I'm sorry, I’m sorry” and apologizing for yourself.</p>
<p>Even if you didn't do anything you want to be the first one to say I'm sorry so that you can shut it down. Shut all of the energy down.&nbsp;Control, control, control.</p>
<p><strong>So it all boils down to this: the real reason why give ourselves the silent treatment is to control our energy. But we are doing this in a dark way; it is not The Master Path for controlling our energy.</strong></p>
<p>When you shut down your expression in the energy the angels are saying that it's like being at the ocean and trying to dam up the entire ocean, along the entire beach.</p>
<p>Can you imagine a dam running all the way down the Jersey Shore, just the entire of the state, just trying to keep it at bay and not let it ebb and flow as she needs to do?</p>
<p>Rather than honoring her power and natural beauty, you intuitively know that the dam is trying to control her so only a certain amount of ocean can be present at the beach. The one that comes out of this teeny little tap right here. Ha!</p>
<p><strong>With this image, the angels are saying you’re making your power – which is like the ocean and infinite – very, very small. &nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Painfully small.</p>
<p>Harmfully small.</p>
<p>Unnaturally small.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>We need to learn how to respect and honor whatever is coming through us; to respect and honor our power and our energy.</strong></span></p>
<p>If we don't, then there are repercussions.</p>
<p>The same way that the ocean doesn't just disappear if you try to dam her up, is the same way that your energy doesn't just disappear if you clam yourself up -- it reroutes.</p>
<p><strong>Oftentimes when we tend to shut down our own expression it manifests physically with disease and discomfort.</strong></p>
<p>So, for example, do you have chronic neck and shoulder pain? Tightness of the jaw? Do you grind your teeth?</p>
<p>Or when you're stressed out, you crunch it together or do you tend to often want to chew on things? Like chewing on straws, pens and pencils or are you addicted to chewing gum?</p>
<p><strong>Oral fixations and addictions are signs of underlying spiritual issues that have to do with expression being stifled.</strong></p>
<p>If you’re addicted to smoking or drinking, don’t be judgmental, instead just notice yourself from a spiritual and energetic perspective.</p>
<p>Take notice of all of these physical manifestations in and around the throat, such as chronic ear infections, catching a cold every winter or even in the summer, etc. as not random events.</p>
<p>Put them in a spiritual context as guidance and warning signs from Spirit&nbsp;that something you are doing is out of alignment with Source.</p>
<p><strong>And what is out of alignment is your relationship with expression: you’re afraid of your truth and allowing it to flow through you.</strong></p>
<p>We're afraid to really put it out there, really allow truth -- which is Source energy -- to&nbsp;move through us. It's raw,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is beautiful. It's always healing, even if it is painful.</p>
<p>But how the heck do we start to turn this situation around then? Are there any techniques and strategies to stop giving yourself the silent treatment? YES!</p>
<p><em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">You’ll have to watch the rest of this week’s video strategy to find out the exactly how!</span></em></p>

<p><strong><em>Just for Today...</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Call yourself out when you're clamming up or too afraid to speak up, by announcing it out loud.&nbsp;Yes, really! You can just announce that you're scared. </strong></p>
<p><strong>When you feel yourself shutting down, holding or pulling back, you can literally say "I have something to say but I'm afraid to speak up&nbsp;right now."&nbsp; </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Notice how you feel at that moment - you're already healing!</em></strong></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Wish you were more confident?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Think you are too shy, introverted or quiet?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Always feeling unsure of yourself, especially in social settings, or presentations at work or school?<br />
</em></h2>
<p>It's time for you to stop hiding -- you are now allowed to let your light shine!</p>
<p>Yay! But where the heck do you start when building self-confidence?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch the above video to learn a fun and exciting technique for rapidly building authentic self-confidence!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-1312"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">"Oh, I'll never be as confident as her/him! I'm not an extrovert..."</span></strong></p>
<p>We all end up thinking this to ourselves from time to time; maybe when we've seen an amazing public speaker, or witnessed someone work a room like a natural social butterfly at a party. And you're watching said person from the&nbsp;cozy spot you've firmly&nbsp;staked out at the hors d'oeuvres table, so you can at least look busy and engaged by slowly eating...EVERYTHING. Lol I know how that goes all too well!</p>
<p>When you have low self-confidence, you try not to draw attention to yourself -- even your own attention -- because if you do, a million and one reasons (or excuses, rather) pop up to show why you're not good enough.</p>
<p><strong>Over time, this hiding and shrinking behavior becomes a&nbsp;pattern, so much that you can even base your identity on it. And this is a vicious cycle.</strong></p>
<p>At first you find yourself identifying comfortably with being the "helper" or the "black sheep" or the "underdog" in social situations, because you believe that is "your place." When you see people playing these roles in shows and movies, you feel like you're watching your own life play out on screen.</p>
<p>But perhaps you've always felt like an outsider or underdog not because you're not good enough, but instead it's because&nbsp;you've been criticized and told that no matter what you do you're still "not good enough" by your parents, an authority figure or the Media&nbsp;growing up.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1313" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/you-are-not-good-enough.gif" alt="you-are-not-good-enough" width="300" height="432"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>So, believing what they -- <em>others in general&nbsp;</em>--&nbsp;have said about you, your confidence in yourself shrivels.</strong></p>
<p>It shrivels because&nbsp;you've internalized their criticism and then continue to do it for them, with negative self-talk or saying "I'm sorry" over and over to basically apologize for not being good enough&nbsp;whenever possible.</p>
<p>Being raised and encouraged to be "the best" ends up being a double-edged sword in sometimes life because you'll find yourself constantly wanting to "win" in life to gain approval from others.</p>
<p>Yet, if you're constantly looking for others' approval, you're also constantly feeling like you're&nbsp;coming up short in comparison to others. You feel small on the inside and</p>
<p><strong>There eventually comes a point when you notice that the one person's approval you need most is absent: yours.</strong></p>
<p>You don't have to look externally for approval. In fact, it's not very effective in the grand scheme of things. There's too many people to manage out there -- that's why people-pleasing always makes you feel small; it's a matter of scale.</p>
<p>Also, that's why when people tell you you're good enough, it's not as effective as it could be. Why? Because it's coming from the outside, rather than the inside.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Self-confidence is an energy that is the natural byproduct of self-awareness and love.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1314" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/all-you-need-is-love-and-flowers-nastasia-cook.jpg" alt="all-you-need-is-love-and-flowers-nastasia-cook" width="300" height="375" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/all-you-need-is-love-and-flowers-nastasia-cook.jpg 720w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/all-you-need-is-love-and-flowers-nastasia-cook-240x300.jpg 240w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/all-you-need-is-love-and-flowers-nastasia-cook-598x748.jpg 598w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>When the approval and encouragement&nbsp;comes from YOU and not outside sources, that's when self-confidence is produced.</p>
<p>The same way a rose, when it is real and natural, produces a beautiful distinct rose fragrance, so is self-confidence like a fragrance: it's a byproduct of authenticity.</p>
<p>In order to start building, or moreover exhibiting or exuding, self-confidence, you need to start with increasing your self-awareness.</p>
<h3>Know this: <span style="color: #008080;">Stop comparing yourself to other people. They have nothing to do with your confidence level; it's an inside job.<br />
</span></h3>
<p>Easier said than done, right? We've been looking to others for approval and based our whole identity as the "helper" or "outsider" or "underdog" on others and how they make us feel.</p>
<p>In fact, you may even be afraid of looking at yourself because you're afraid you won't like what you'll see.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Well, there's a hack for that! 🙂<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>Spirit has shown an effective technique to increase your self-awareness in a way that bypasses this fear, even for those of us who say "I hate myself" or "I hate the way I look / I am," even if people are trying to be encouraging.</p>
<p>The video goes in depth into this week's technique: date yourself. It's a lot of fun and full of laughter. Enjoy!</p>
<p><em><strong>Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which explains the exact spiritual benefits to dating yourself!</strong></em></p>
