<h2><strong>This is a special announcement Love Letter. Yay!</strong></h2>
<h2><a href="mailto:team@victoriawhitfield.com?subject=Put Me On The Reunion List!&amp;body=I want to know how I can attend the 2018 Winter Solstice Reunion Party. Please put me on the list.&amp;bcc=senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com"><strong>I'M INTERESTED! NOTIFY ME 🙂</strong></a></h2>
<p>So I wanted to let you know that I am so, so thankful for all your years of support. Being in this line of work has really changed my life and changed the lives of hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world. Tribe, I want to thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support over the years and because of that, my work has grown. This is my special announcement, if you didn't get it in the mail: oh my goodness, we're moving!</p>
<p><strong>I wanted to take this week in particular to inspire you, as well as inform you, around the shifts that are happening here at the dojo. </strong>Here's what's going to happen. My work has grown so much that my guides have asked me to focus more on serving you and your teams in particular. We have manifested a gorgeous space that you'll be seeing more of come this December onward. My guides have shown me it's time for us to gather more as a tribe in person, and heal together as a group.</p>
<p>For the last three years in particular, the dojo space where I have been presenting to you from, as well as seeing you if you've been coming for sessions and for meditation classes, is really set up for more one-on-one work. When we throw a party there, we're practically sitting on each other's laps. There's nothing wrong with that, however, gathering together in general is where the juice is at. Right? I'm sure you'd agree with me, for those of you who know what I'm talking about -- when we get to see each other as a group in person, this is so powerful.</p>
<p><strong>For those of you who are members of my Visionary Shaman Circle, of my Abundant Business Circle and who come to group guided meditations, you already know, or for those who attend our solstice parties at the dojo, you know it is so enriching to get to see your tribe in person. </strong>Because of that, the location that we've manifested is capable of holding 10 times the amount of visitors. Before I could only maybe have like six to 10 people, maybe 12 in the room if we're sitting on each other's laps. Where we're going has between 60 to 100 people in on-site capacity. It's gorgeous, it's a historic home, maybe about seven minutes away from where we are currently. And I would really love to get to share that with you.</p>
<p><strong>So, we're not just throwing a winter solstice party this year. It's a brand new dojo, and I desire for us to have a reunion, and YOU are invited! Want to come? <a href="mailto:team@victoriawhitfield.com?subject=Put Me On The Reunion List!&amp;body=I want to know how I can attend the 2018 Winter Solstice Reunion Party. Please put me on the list.&amp;bcc=senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com">CLICK HERE if you want to be notified as soon as possible for when and where we're going to be throwing our very first Winter Solstice Tribe Reunion Party.</a></strong></p>
<p>This week in particular, I’m being guided to tell you to ask YOUR guides. Normally, I'm telling you what my spirit guides are telling me. Absolutely. I've been journeying on this for quite some time. But this reunion is actually a personal desire of my own: I desire a reunion. Ask your own spirit guides, ask your own higher self. What would it look like for me to throw a reunion party for all of my beloved peeps? If it's for your clients, if it's a reunion for your family, if it's a reunion for your friends, try it, and for no particular reason other than a reunion.</p>
<p><strong>Because here's the thing: together is better. </strong>You have to ask if you want to receive. I know for me personally, I find that the more I think about it, the more I desire to be in the presence of the people that I love. Right? I've made that decision in my own living situation. I will never live alone. I will always live with someone who loves me and who I love dearly. However that works out, whatever it takes. Because I have lived alone before, and I discovered that I personally don't like the way that that feels.</p>
<p>I've also changed my business lifestyle as well with that same value: I will always work with someone who loves me and who I love dearly, too. I will never work alone. That has changed the level of abundance that I get to experience and enjoy in my life as well as in my business. What matters most is how I feel, and I live that with passion!</p>
<p>With that, let's call it in. I know I'm calling YOU in to come to our Winter Solstice Tribe Reunion Party this December, so make sure you click here to say, "I'm interested. I'm there!” <strong><a href="mailto:team@victoriawhitfield.com?subject=Put Me On The Reunion List!&amp;body=I want to know how I can attend the 2018 Winter Solstice Reunion Party. Please put me on the list.&amp;bcc=senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com">Click here if that speaks to you.</a></strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p>
<h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: <a href="https://ctt.ac/mn5DT">Know this: Together is better. Ask yourself if it's time to throw a reunion party, for the fun of it! @SenseiWhitfield #worklifebalance #business #positive</a></strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span><br />
Are you loving <em>The Love Letters</em>? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:<br />
<a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p>
<p><strong>And, this week in particular, I would challenge you to ask your spirit guides, what kind of reunion party should I throw? </strong>This doesn't mean that you have to cook, by the way. I never cook at my parties. All of them are potluck style! Baby, bring it, bring it. Whatever you bring. That's awesome. And also, this doesn't mean that you have to chase people down and charge. When I throw a party I never charge, this is just to see you come, hug and spend quality time together.</p>
<p>Now, if you want to contribute, or leave a donation to cover the cups, plates and the space and party supplies, of course I'm grateful and always open to receive support if it brings you pleasure to give. Or for myself I know that when I'm going to a party the hostess is saying, "Hey, could you help us spot five, 10, 30, 50, however for the space, et cetera, et cetera?" I'm happy to oblige, because I have an abundant mindset and I get to be in the party with people I love. Let it be easy.</p>
<p><strong>Ok! I'm hearing my own, personal, Oracle cards deck calling in the energy. </strong>This is the very first deck that I ever got for myself, it's the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards deck by Doreen Virtue. This is the actual deck that is only mine and I'm at my home office right now; this deck changed my life when I bought it and I encourage you to get this one (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401903010/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1401903010&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=senseivictori-20&amp;linkId=ee2ecd6b418e6899c64fe2f266c1fefa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BUY ON AMAZON</a>).</p>
<p>For this week in particular, goddesses, what do we need to know right now about throwing a reunion party, up-leveling our quality of life, and welcoming in more of the tribe? ...Hey, I love it. This is a bit counterintuitive. And I love that. The goddess card that’s coming to us is <em>“Bast: Independent. Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success.”</em>What I'm hearing right now, coming from my guides about throwing a reunion party and welcoming people back into your space, and with me inviting you to come see the new dojo, is let's celebrate, let's have some fun together.</p>
<p><strong>Bast, the Goddess Bast is coming forward about independence. </strong>Now, I know you. You are a “strong, independent, insert word here.” Strong independent woman, strong independent man, strong independent girl, strong independent boy. Strong independent business owner. Strong independent entrepreneur. Strong independent artist. Strong independent musician. Strong independent mother. Strong independent father. So on and so forth.</p>
<p>Be kind to yourself. Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success. AND there is more to a house than just the foundation. I do believe it's powerful to be strong and independent. Right there with you! I'm an achiever. Achievers unite, haha! And, that's our foundation. What fills in the rest of the house is the power of positive community. Your ability to be resourced and resourceful. Call it in, ask for what you desire.</p>
<p><strong>If you've been feeling lonely at work, ask for people to come by and visit. </strong>If you've been feeling like you're not hanging out with, or seeing enough of your friends and family, ask for them to come by. Don't wait for somebody else to ask you. I just felt a chill in the energy like someone who's watching this right now, maybe it's you, or maybe it's whoever you're going to share this with, because you got to make sure that this word gets out to our tribe. Someone who's watching this right now, could be you, has been waiting to be invited and has been angry or frustrated that they haven't been asked to come out, or everybody else is going out, or everybody else is having parties and things to celebrate, blah, blah, blah. Instead, take a deep breath, and accept that – if only just for today – it’s officially on you this time to make it happen.</p>
<p><strong>It's official: Happy Everything Week! Okay? Got it? Declare happy everything. Join me in this.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="mailto:team@victoriawhitfield.com?subject=Put Me On The Reunion List!&amp;body=I want to know how I can attend the 2018 Winter Solstice Reunion Party. Please put me on the list.&amp;bcc=senseivictoriawhitfield@gmail.com">And by the way, click here and make sure that you join us, so that you get on that notifications list to be there for our winter solstice party.</a> </strong>Our reunion this time will be at the new space, and let's enjoy being together. We can be independent, absolutely, and be powerful in that independence. And then let's enjoy our lives together. Two strong independent people come together, and they become interdependent, and create this amazing life full of love, fulfillment and togetherness. Doing it alone is great, but together is better.</p>
<p>Comment below, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com, that comes straight to me, or you can email my team at team@victoriawhitfield.com. Let me know what comes up for you around this. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week, and I will see you next week with our next series.

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Have you been secretly feeling down and depressed lately?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling like you've lost the joy you once had, or wish you had more?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Think that joy and feelings are irrelevant to your work?</em></h2>
<p>Keeping up with the demands of professional life -- or "adulting" as I call it -- can really drain your joy sometimes.</p>
<div>Yes we have responsibilities, and yes it gets monotonous, but deep down, you know that right now there's more to life than being dull and grey.</div>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter video to find out the power of joy and how to rekindle yours!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3534"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"Today I want to do something that brings me joy."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Source wants you to know, this week in particular, that your joy is sacred.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Your joy, your happiness, your peace, how you feel, is sacred.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">One of the most common things that I say here to all my students at the Dojo, is that "what matters most is how you feel"; but your joy in particular is sacred.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the energy I'm seeing that in a previous video, we had covered that your joy is actually a way of protecting yourself. It's your vortex, right?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Being in your vortex keeps you energized -- and you're in it when you're feeling good.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When you're feeling joyful, it also keeps you open to new solutions and strategies for solving different issues that come through your life; also it does protect your heart and it protects your energy.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's especially helpful&nbsp;when you're out in the world interacting with others, because sometimes news and things or issues at work can come up, or your family members or teammates may be having a challenge.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Your joy is sacred for protecting you from absorbing any of the healing journeys that they're on. Did you know that?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Joy is such a powerful thing to connect to, and especially when we are post-school-age.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So to all my students who are "studenting", awesome; but for those who are post being in school and you're now "adulting", as opposed to just "studenting" in your life right now, joy can become smaller and smaller and lesser and lesser.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The more we "adult" the more we get serious or monotonous, the more we curb our enthusiasm for life.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm using "adult"&nbsp;as a verb on purpose -- I was an English Major in college, so to all my grammarians out there, I know you're cringing, but I know what I'm doing, here ;).</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Let me be direct with you --</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">What happened to your joy?</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What happened to the things that made you come alive and inspired you, and made you want to be "frisky", as Abraham Hicks says, made you want to be mischievous or fun, sexy and silly?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What happened to your joy?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It energized you. It moved mountains in life so many times. When you've been joyful time flew and synchronicities came together, right?</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:&nbsp;<a href="http://ctt.ec/1eKna">Your #joy is #sacred. This week start each day by #visualizing things that bring you joy. @SenseiWhitfield</a></span></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://ctt.ec/1eKna"><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">Your joy is sacred.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Source in particular this week wants you to know that you joy is sacred, though, because it is contagious.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your joy is contagious.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">God, Goddess,&nbsp;the Holy Spirit, Source consciousness, the human spirit and human potential that is around us and within us desires for more joy and more happiness to be on the planet -- and i</span></span><span class="s1">t's got to start with you.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your joy is sacred because you're the only one who can access it for you.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm hearing the Oracle cards calling in the energy on this, but it's important that in this week, you prioritize first and foremost that&nbsp;<em>"Today I want to do something that brings me joy."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">I want to hear in the comments what brings you joy.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You know me. I love bubbles, I love dancing, I love rainbows, glitter and emojis. Shiny things and playfulness. Those bring me joy.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>These things bring me joy and light me up, and it's because of my joy practice that I have so much energy.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What I want to hear from you is how do you generate joy in your life?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What makes you joy-filled?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">We're using the <em>Healing with the Fairies</em>&nbsp;oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">Let's ask: <em>"Fairies, what do we need to know right now about our joy?"</em></span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1"><strong>Visualization.</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="s1">This is where we'll leave off for the week.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1">Your joy is sacred, and it's important that you visualize things that bring you joy.</p>
<p class="p1">I just heard it loud in the energy, like they yelled it in my ear --</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Mindset. There's negative thoughts.</strong></p>
<p class="p1">We've been beating ourselves up with the same old crusty&nbsp;self-doubt and worry, etc. patterns that we keep pummeling ourselves with in our minds.</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>This week in particular, I double-dog-dare you&nbsp;to&nbsp;visualize once a day something that brings you so much joy.</strong></span></p>
<p class="p1">Try it at the beginning of the day because it'll set the tone for the day for more joy.</p>
<p class="p1">You will see how it will attract more joy throughout the day.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Comment below, post back, let me know how it goes, what did you find, and make sure you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHybBbWcVx_IAKX0DXF70SQ">subscribe on YouTube</a> so that you get your weekly love letters first.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm sending you so much love. I believe in you, and I'm sending you joyful energy. Bye. See you next week.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong style="line-height: 1.5;">In Love and Light,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Victoria.</strong></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Curious about crystal healing?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Love trying new holistic therapies?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Trouble focusing during meditation?</em></h2>
<p>Crystal therapy is a powerful tool for keeping you focused and disciplined, believe it or not!</p>
<p>Our gem friends are natural tools for rebalancing your health on a vibrational, energetic level.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video to learn how to start doing crystal meditation for yourself!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-2460"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<em>How do I meditate with a crystal?</em>"</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>This week, in particular, Source is asking that you get started meditating with crystals. </strong></p>
<p class="p1">What do I mean by crystals?</p>
<p class="p1">There are, of course, lead crystals like the Swarovski crystals and things that are shiny, and pretty. Wonderful to look at.</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>But the crystals that I'm talking about, and the crystals Source is talking about, are minerals. Mineral specimens that could be tumbled, or ruff cut, or even particularly shaped. </strong></span></p>
<p class="p1">We have few different crystal specimens here at the dojo, so I want to explain to you why crystals are awesome.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">First off, they are libraries of healing information. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Picture this. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">There's a philosophy called stone tape theory, which basically states that all stones are record keepers. They are constantly keeping record of all the energy that they have been exposed to. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Stone tape theory, therefore, explains paranormal experiences, like if you've ever been in a house where at a certain time of the day you start smelling a certain perfume, or cigar smoke, or footsteps start happening repeatedly. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's because the natural energy of the house has recorded the emotional and physical life energy that has occurred there.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">All stones, in particular, are capable of doing this, but they also have healing knowledge. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">They're basically the natural computers of the earth. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you have a crystal skull, for example, they are the natural internet. (I mean, if you want to take a deep dive on Google go ahead. Crystal skulls, meditation, enjoy.)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Two in particular here at the dojo, two of our crystal friends here wanted to come forward to talk to you. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is rose quartz. His name is Pepe. He was a gift, and he's been charging for quite sometime here. Rose quartz. This is a wonderful example of a ruff cut barrel that you could meditate with.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Or down here is Jeff. Now how do my crystals have names? I just ask them and they tell me. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Pepe and Jeff here wanted to illustrate to you with me how to meditate with a crystal.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You can simply have one in your purse, or display one on your table, or your desk at work, or your bed side table, etc., to bring more healing energy. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Every stone has meaning. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">By the way, this is rose quartz, which is good for the heart. In healing your heart, your inner child, feeling safe. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jeff here, is fluorite in particular. What he works with is clarity, mental clarity, being organized, disciplined, focused, systems, creating systems, and really staying on your game on a regular basis. He's all about consistency.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm going to hold Jeff in particular. Peppy is down here sending you lots of love. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">When you are meditating with a crystal, what you want to do is: </span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><span class="s1">You hold your crystal in your hands&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li class="p1"><span class="s1">You imagine that the energy of that crystal is flowing up your arms. Cycling through with your breath.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li class="p1">Feeling that energy go through you, and exhaling going back into the stone creating a circuit of energy is one way to meditate with your crystal.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Another way, and I'm going to use Peppy for this illustration, is to look at all of the facets in great detail. </strong></span></p>
<p>Really allowing your eye to go into all of the different quarks, nooks, and crannies. Perhaps rubbing your finger as well. Your thumb over the ridges activates more of the healing information.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Now all of this is to say that spending time with your crystals helps their healing information attune to your aura. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your aura and their energy begin to talk to each other and harmonize. We are all, all living beings are harmonic. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The same way if you're singing in a choir, it's best to be in tune. Nature does that naturally. She creates harmony. Bring some crystals into your life. Crystal people such as Jeff and Pepe.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">I'm hearing the oracle cards for the week. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's the Crystal Oracle. Another gift deck. Thank you for your support.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>What do we need to know right now? I'm hearing this card.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jeff is right here, and look what card came out. Fluorite. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You can't make this stuff up. Wow. Thanks Jeff. I think you really want to get through to people. How crazy. You know that's normal here. Get out.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">All right. They're telling me to read, in particular:</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><em><span class="s1">Concentration, psychic protection, and emotional stability. Fluorite emanates a highly spiritual vibration that can shield you from a negative influence, or a negative person that is causing you to be emotionally imbalanced. Knowing that you are being surrounded by love and light and trust in the protection you are now receiving. Let go of your fears and concerns, and allow this wondrous healing to occur.&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">Start to focus on the things that bring joy to your life. Focus on all you would love to be doing rather than worrying about what others think. You are safe and eternally loved. Nothing can harm you except for your own fears. Trust! </span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Here's where we'll leave off. It's time to bring in some crystal energy to really help anchor your aura, and make you feel more safe and grounded as you continue forward.</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>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">They come from the earth, so bringing more earth energy can really help you.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Send me an email back. Comment below. Let me know what's coming up for you. If you're curious about crystals. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">By the way, size does not matter. Relax. Pepe&nbsp;is just as awesome as Jeff. Don't feel like I got to get a gigantic&nbsp;one.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">What matters most is how you feel when you're with your crystal. </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Bring more earth energy so that you can feel more grounded and protected this week in particular. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Send me pictures. I want to see your crystals, okay? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sending you so much love. We all are, and get ready.</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Have you been secretly feeling down and depressed lately?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling like you've lost the joy you once had, or wish you had more?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Think that joy and feelings are irrelevant to your work?</em></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keeping up with the demands of professional life -- or "adulting" as I call it -- can really drain your joy sometimes.</p>
<div>Yes we have responsibilities, and yes it gets monotonous, but deep down, you know that right now there's more to life than being dull and grey.</div>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 7-minute Love Letter video to find out the power of joy and how to rekindle yours!</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-2452"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"Today I want to do something that brings me joy."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Source wants you to know, this week in particular, that your joy is sacred.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Your joy, your happiness, your peace, how you feel, is sacred. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">One of the most common things that I say here to all my students at the Dojo, is that "what matters most is how you feel"; but your joy in particular is sacred. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the energy I'm seeing that in a previous video, we had covered that your joy is actually a way of protecting yourself. It's your vortex, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Being in your vortex keeps you energized -- and you're in it when you're feeling good.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When you're feeling joyful, it also keeps you open to new solutions and strategies for solving different issues that come through your life; also it does protect your heart and it protects your energy. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's especially helpful&nbsp;when you're out in the world interacting with others, because sometimes news and things or issues at work can come up, or your family members or teammates may be having a challenge. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Your joy is sacred for protecting you from absorbing any of the healing journeys that they're on. Did you know that?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Joy is such a powerful thing to connect to, and especially when we are post-school-age. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So to all my students who are "studenting", awesome; but for those who are post being in school and you're now "adulting", as opposed to just "studenting" in your life right now, joy can become smaller and smaller and lesser and lesser. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The more we "adult" the more we get serious or monotonous, the more we curb our enthusiasm for life.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I'm using "adult"&nbsp;as a verb on purpose -- I was an English Major in college, so to all my grammarians out there, I know you're cringing, but I know what I'm doing, here ;).</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Let me be direct with you --</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">What happened to your joy? </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What happened to the things that made you come alive and inspired you, and made you want to be "frisky", as Abraham Hicks says, made you want to be mischievous or fun, sexy and silly?</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It energized you. It moved mountains in life so many times. When you've been joyful time flew and synchronicities came together, right?</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>These things bring me joy and light me up, and it's because of my joy practice that I have so much energy.</strong> </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 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>
<p><strong>In Love and Light,</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Just for Today...</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Re-evaluate how you go about protecting your energy.<br />

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

<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><em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</span></em></p>
<p><strong>In Love and Light,</strong></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>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Have&nbsp;you ever wondered what your life's purpose is?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Do you work to support a life you love, or do you live to work?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Still waiting to feel like you've finally "made it" in life, after all this time?</em></h2>
<p>Sometimes our daily routine of work, home, sleep, repeat can get painfully boring, to the point that it can make life seem devoid of meaning.</p>
<p>But didn't they tell you that having a "nice" place, driving a "nice" car, keeping up with your bills and being "nice" to everyone should make you feel happy and fulfilled? That's the secret, right? WRONG!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch the above video to discover the secret to finally being fulfilled in life!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-1771"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<strong>What’s the point of it all?</strong>"</b></span></p>
<p><strong>This week’s topic is the secret to being fulfilled in life.</strong></p>
<p>Maybe recently you’ve been working really hard and wondering what it's all for.</p>
<p>Perhaps even, over the last couple of weeks, there's this aching inner sense of emptiness that's been creeping up on you.</p>
<p>Maybe it comes up in the people that you speak to lately, how frustrating it is when they're awfully shallow?</p>
<p><strong>Or maybe are you doing things that don't really resonate with what you stand for or what your vision for your life has always been?</strong></p>
<p>Are you not as far as you thought you would have been at this point in time? Are you not feeling fulfilled?</p>
<p>There's that inner sense of emptiness: the hole, the cave that can gather energetically, as well as even physically, eating away at our tissues, at our senses and sensibilities when we are not engaging what feeds us.</p>
<p><strong>However, the non-receptive way of communicating with Source to write-off these events just "coincidences."</strong></p>
<p>When we are externally driven in life, all meaning, worth, value, approval, acceptance – all judgments are based on what is external.</p>
<p>All actions in this sort of life are therefore based on what is external to us, as a self, a being, a consciousness, a person.</p>
<p>What it would look like if we were living an externally driven life is that, "I am what I can show for," or "I have to keep up with the Joneses because on the outside of me, these people are doing well, or at least their external representation looks showy, and I want to make sure that I'm on par with that."</p>
<h2>Know This: <span style="color: #008080;">Focusing on quality over quantity breeds fulfillment. #happiness #gratitude</span></h2>
<p>The externally driven life is about acquiring larger quantities – of friends, of possessions, of dollars, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Ultimately, the point is to make sure life looks very beautiful: the vision, the appearance and the visual spatial representation of whatever we're encountering in life.</strong></span></p>
<p>But the externally driven life is one that it's not just shallow.&nbsp;There's a little bit more to it than that.</p>
<p>Specifically, the externally driven life is focused on appearances. If you can read this article, you have access to and are living in a society that is primarily externally driven.</p>
<p>The thing is that it’s not all bad. Yes, it’s true! Otherwise we wouldn’t really adhere to this point of view!</p>
<p><strong>In truth, the good thing about being externally driven is that it's motivational.</strong></p>
<p>Yes, it inspires you for more, more, more. However, if your vibration is low, it is good to be externally driven, because it pulls your vibration out of the dumps, or it keeps you from flat-lining energetically and boosts&nbsp;your physical life force.</p>
<p>Developing a dependency on being externally driven is where it becomes problematic is what the angels are saying right now. For example: determining your self-worth according to how many degrees and certifications you have is a slippery slope, because <em>there's always more</em>...</p>
<p><strong>There comes a point in life where we need to be able to decide to enjoy where we are.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>The other side is being internally driven. </strong></span></p>
<p>Until now, we've been talking about having an externally driven life, which always ends up being not fulfilling. It will be motivational, endlessly.</p>
<p>I mean that positively and negatively at the same time, though. Being externally driven is not the key, not the secret, to experiencing what fulfillment feels like.</p>
<p><strong>Rather than two sides of a coin, these have more of a “yin and yang” relationship.</strong></p>
<p>The symbol of yin and yang is actually turning, because there is light and dark in both, constantly creating universal movement which is good. That actively creates harmony.</p>
<p>Similarly, we can apply this concept to the relationship between being internally and externally driven, in that when you find the active, dynamic balance between the two, you create – and have – harmony.</p>
<p><strong>You can create and have fulfillment.</strong></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">And it comes in a sustainable and expansive way, rather than from just throwing up your hands and saying "I'm done!" It's different.</span></p>
<p>But there’s a dark side to being internally driven.</p>
<p>The energy is saying that a good example of being internally driven is going about life by one of my favorite sayings, "What matters most is how you feel."</p>
<p><strong>Being aware of how you feel, being present to the present moment and fully immersed in that is being internally driven in life.</strong></p>
<p>So, the Joneses can have the car, the white picket fence, the expensive toy dog in the purse and the motorcycle/boat flying machine. Fabulous. I don't care because what matters most is how I feel. I'm more concerned with, "Well, am I all right with my house and my frying machine or my toaster oven." Right? Lol!</p>
<p>Well, there's more to it than just being stubbornly self-absorbed.&nbsp;How do you know if you're being internally driven or if you're around other people who are internally driven for the highest good?</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 exactly how!</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;</span></em></p>
<p><strong>In Love and Light,</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Just for Today...</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Stop and ask yourself: "why am I doing what I'm doing right now?"<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then check in and see if you're externally or internally motivated in your actions. Make sure to resist the urge to judge yourself; just observe!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Notice how you feel at that moment - you're already healing!</em></strong></p>

</span></h1>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Have you always tried to "fit in" - changing your looks, your demeanor and yourself to survive, but lost yourself along the way?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Constantly worried that you're not enough yet in life - not educated enough, not attractive enough, not making enough money, etc.?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Find yourself saying "I just wish somebody would love me for me" more and more?<br />
</em></h2>
<p>There's a fine line between personal development for self acceptance and personal development for self rejection.</p>
<p>How can you receive authentic abundance if you do not authentically believe you are whole and worthy of it right now?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch the above video to explore the question "WHY am I a spiritual seeker?" - are you seeking to authentically love yourself as you are or to hide from or reject the real you?<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-1262"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>More Love and More Money - Video Series on Increasing Authentic Abundance</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Self-love and acceptance is a life-long journey.<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p>There's no "self-acceptance" nirvana, because we are constantly changing.</p>
<p>You are always evolving and discovering more. Now this can be both inspirational and overwhelming to know, because yes there's always room for improvement but no the journey never ends.</p>
<p>So how do you learn to love and accept a moving target like yourself? Or is it just impossible?</p>
<p><strong>It's not impossible. Learn to move with the target.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes we feel very low, and at other times we thing we're on top of the world. Like the Earth, we naturally have seasons of feelings and emotions.</p>
<p>Yet the key is to accept and re-accept yourself where you are at, as you go. As you do so, you create a momentum of love and healing in your own life through the actions you take.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1264" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/act-like-you-love-yourself.jpg" alt="act like you love yourself" width="350" height="350" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/act-like-you-love-yourself.jpg 350w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/act-like-you-love-yourself-150x150.jpg 150w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/act-like-you-love-yourself-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></p>
<p><strong>When you love and accept yourself, your behaviors like eating, moving, speaking, etc. show that you do - and others' can feel it!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Energetically (empathically) people will pick up on the love you show yourself, and because of your brave model, it gives them permission to do the same.</p>
<p>The ripple effect of embracing yourself is huge.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>So why then, is it just so hard?<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://real-to-me.blogspot.com/"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1265" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/idontbelieveimbeautiful.jpg" alt="idontbelieveimbeautiful" width="500" height="332" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/idontbelieveimbeautiful.jpg 500w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/idontbelieveimbeautiful-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Maybe somebody told you you're not enough. Not pretty, not tall, not strong, not fast, not smart, not powerful, not old, not young, not educated, not wealthy, not skilled, not skinny, not ...enough.</p>
<p>Or maybe... you tell yourself that you're not enough. All day.</p>
<p>Perhaps that thought's running in the back of your head all day, fueling your actions and your drive to serve, and keeping you on task - perhaps you're thinking that right now?</p>
<h3>Know this: <span style="color: #008080;">You are enough right now. You just are. #MLMM #BK2YS<br />
</span></h3>
<p>Most people wait until the last few years of their lives to finally let go of caring about searching for others' approval and acceptance, because they believe they've "paid their dues" and are more afraid of their inevitable transition to death than their fear of living their lives fully now.</p>
<p>As if retirement and old age are the excuse to FINALLY be who you are and do only what you want.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Here's the thing: you don't have to wait that long to give yourself permission!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>If only just for now, decide to love yourself as you are, as if you were retired already.</p>
<p>You did pay your dues already - you were born. That's all the permission you need to be yourself in this lifetime, is to make it into this lifetime.</p>
<p><em><strong>Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows exactly WHY you can love and accept yourself and HOW to do it, right now!</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>In Love and Light,</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Just for Today...</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>If you were already loved, retired, wealthy and healthy, how would you feel?<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Would you lose your sense of meaning to life without the struggle for "more" or for others' approval? Be honest.<br />
