Do you have a hard time connecting and communicating with your clients?

Is your marketing message or mission statement unclear or ‘not quite there’ yet?

Have you been feeling ungrounded in your business, like something foundational is missing?

Be kind to yourself: you have yet to awaken your true potential.

Inside every spiritual entrepreneur is a Visionary, an inner intuitive shaman who can see the way forward.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the first of a 4-week series, to Awaken your Shaman Within and take your business to the next level!

"I think my communication with my clients is going well."

Whether you are looking to improve the quality of your personal or professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

This next four week series is going to be really powerful because the guides want you to awaken your shaman within. We're going to take the next four videos to cover this as a topic integrating shamanism and the shamanic perspective into your business and into your professional life for better grounding, creativity, innovation and communication.

As always, in these series we begin with a mediation around why. Why is it time for you to awaken your shaman within? Let me come a little closer. I know, you're like, "Oh my God, you're far away," right? It's time for you to awaken your shaman within, and the reason why is that source is calling you to better connect to your employees and your clients.

This is about communication, communication, communication, baby. I'm sure you've taken so many communications courses, gone to the events, gone and done all of the workshops and gotten your certifications and things, sensitivity training and so on and so forth. Be kind to yourself, it's not that you're not good enough, as to why communication is coming back up again, but it's actually because you are being called to go higher.

There's a huge difference. This is the tweetable of the week, there's a huge difference between feeling not good enough versus being called to go higher. And that's where this concept of bringing shamanism and awakening your inner-shaman in your business and in your professional life, that's why this is coming forward.

‪Know this: There’s a huge difference between being not good enough, and being called to go higher in your #business 💕

Let's talk about this a little bit more. The word shaman, in western culture we tend to think of shaman as some dude, first of all, I'm female. Some dude up on the mountain top or in the jungle with his junk hanging out and paint on his face, looking regal and natural and fabulous and super spiritual and hits you with the oak leaves and clears your energy.

I know you don't think that but I've got to get to the lowest common denominator, so we can all find ground. So not to knock anybody who believes that but some people, that's the first emotional, kind of guttural reaction that they get when they hear shaman. "Why the ... I own a plumbing company, why would I want to be a shaman in my ... that's ridiculous. You're a weirdo." Right?

So be kind to yourself if that comes up or be kind to yourself if others have said that to you. We'll be weird together for the next four weeks, or if you've been following my love letters for a while, baby, we've been weird together for years. So good, right?

The word shaman actually comes from the Siberian Tungus tribe and it means one who sees in the dark. One who sees in the dark. My guides are telling me to actually shut the lights for a little bit. When things start getting darker in life or a bit more uncertain, it can cause your ability to see detail to decrease, right? So if I were to go and cut the corner light out here, it's even hard to see me. The uncertainty is increasing because it's getting darker.

Now I'm not going to go completely dark but this is just to make the point, what if when I turned that light off you were still able to see me and you were still able to see how many fingers am I holding up? If you have the ability to see in the dark when others can't, you are, according to the Tungus tribe you're a shaman, but my more contemporary terms you are a leader.

It gives you the ability to, I'm just going to cut the light back on. It gives you the ability to better communication with your environment because you have access to more energy and wisdom, and that is why this month we are awakening your shaman within.

By the way, go ahead and click the link below this video if you want to join us live in the Berkshires, so that you can come to the retreat, the Awakening the Shaman Within Retreat, so you can learn these practices in depth, me and you and our tight-knit tribe of visionary entrepreneurs and business owners. So, links below.

But let's continue on this topic of being the visionary, because that's what it means to be the shaman. You are one who sees in the dark. You're the leader, and that is where we're going higher in your ability to communicate in your business, access to information, innovation, creativity, certainty and confidence, so that you can best lead your teams or best lead your clients and customers to all go higher together in the process.

Now I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. All month we're going to be journeying with earth magic, our shamanic deck by  Steven D Farmer, an amazing, amazing author. Just go check out his stuff. One of many beautiful oracle card decks that we have here at the dojo. Guides, what do we need to know right now about why it really is the time now to awaken our shaman within in business?

I just cut that. Bam, lightning, power. Here's where we're going to leave off for this week. Lightning is re-polarizing the electrical charge of an environment. Perhaps now more than even you need another level of resource, another level of perspective in order to deal with the charged environment that you are moving through. Just like a bolt of lightning is powerful and it is a burst of insights that brings neutrality between that thunder cloud and the earth below her.

So maybe it's the tense environment of restructuring at your corporation, your organization. Or maybe it is that charge of discomfort that is going on between team members. They're just not communicating very well because of limited perspective. Or, I'm going to do a pun on charge is what I'm hearing to say, that even this is your discomfort with receiving more money or raising your rates. You need a higher vibrational perspective and higher mindset to help you make it there, and your shaman within can see the way forward.

Comment below, tell me what comes up for you and throw your tomatoes at me by the way if you have any tomatoes on this. Like, "You can't bring shamanism into business." Bring it.

I'd love to hear both the light and the dark. You know I love you just the way you are. So get ready for the rest of this month, we're going to be continuing down this line of discussion on awakening your shaman within. I look forward to seeing you at the retreat.

The post Love Letters | Awaken Your Shaman Within – Part 1 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Feeling like you're carrying the world on your shoulders?

Burning out because the more money you make, the more stress you pile on yourself?

Can't seem to figure out how to fix the financial mess you're in, no matter how hard you try?

It's not uncommon for entrepreneurs to get caught up putting out fires day in and day out, because they've only had themselves to depend on to get things done.

But there comes a point in everyone's Healing Journey where it's time to let go of the reins and finally receive support.

Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter, the final installment in our 4-week series, to commit to your next level of health by receiving support.

"I've been putting off meeting with a financial advisor."

It's week four. Yay. We did it. We did it. This is week four of four in our four week deep dive on financial healing. So we're rounding off our four week walk through this topic, and honestly I feel like we've only scratched the surface. But this week's topic deals with that. Now if you haven't seen the previous weeks, go ahead, re-watch those videos. 

We covered why you need financial healing now, because you've got big work to do. We covered how to really start it on a deep level by going into your shadow.

And then last week we talked about having an abundant mindset, having that abundance mindset so that you can start giving from a space of joy, not just of money, but having an expanded view of what abundance really means.

And this week we are covering, fourth and final topic, receiving support. Receive support. If it's time for your financial healing, and you've been doing the work for the last three weeks, we're moving into a brand new era in your life where financial healing is financial health for you.

The same way that a brain surgeon, if he needs brain surgery, doesn't do it himself. He goes and gets booked for his surgery to have someone else open up his cranium and rummage around and do the things and put it back together safely so that he can heal.

Being able to receive support is essential for deep financial healing. Now every goddess has her own flavor, so your version of receiving support may look different than other people's, but I'm just going to rattle off a few and let's see, which ones resonate with you.

Could it be meeting with a financial planner? Could it be having a financial healing accountability partner, someone who keeps you accountable to your financial goals? Or perhaps it's having a CPS, or an accountant support you on another level, or it could even be a lawyer, someone who could go and do deep forensic accounting and give you advice. Could it be an investment advisor?

But at this juncture of your financial healing journey that you've been on, you are at the point where it's time to bring on a second set of hand, or several other sets of hands, to help you really create a new normal in your financial life.

If you want different results, you've got to do things differently, and figuring out your situation by yourself with love is not going to do it. That's what got you as far as you came before. But where you're going is into a communal healing experience.

This week in particular, it's time to reach out for financial healing support. There's those people, those different venues that might support you for financial healing, maybe a book keeper, or reevaluating your financial team, making sure that you are well supported by people that you feel safe around and supported by.

Knowing what matters most to you and knowing that you can feel openly is essential for receiving the right level of support on your financial healing journey. If you are in a situation financially where, for example, your income has been taking very shocking leaps, very shocking leaps, up, up, up, and you have this feeling like you don't trust the people that are supporting you or the people that are around you with that money.

Or maybe someone passed away and you came into an inheritance and it's causing money drama in the family. It's important to make sure that you get the support that you need and feeling openly.

Let me explain. When you are able to feel openly, and that means you are authentic in your expression and with your emotions. You're not holding back and there's no shame in how you feel. So if you honestly don't feel supported, you have a space and a place for voicing that. Or if you are honestly feeling afraid and vulnerable, you have a space and a place for feeling that, whether you are female, or male, masculine, or feminine. It doesn't matter.

We all have emotions around our financial healing journey. And maybe it's not the too much money experience. It might be there's not enough. But it's important that you have a space and a place where you can feel openly and be supported on the financial healing journey. It's not an event. It's a journey.

That is a tweetable. Go ahead. That's the tweet of the week. 

Know this: You are on a financial healing journey. Be kind to yourself. It's not an event, it's a journey.

You are on a financial healing journey. It's not an event. It's a journey. So team, go ahead and check that out. Put that in for the tweet of the week.

So be kind to yourself if you are feeling frustrated. I don't have it all together yet. You don't have to. Now here's where the rubber meets the road. Ding. Ding. That's where I come in.

Here at the Institute for Natural Intuition and at the dojo, we have programs for giving you the spiritual support you need on your financial healing journey, whether it's keeping your energy clear, or learning how to shift your mindset to be more abundant. And also learning other techniques for manifesting more money.

That's what we do here. That's our specialty here at the dojo. So this week is about receiving support, so I would invite you to go ahead and reach out.

You can always email us at info@naturalintuition.com if you have particular questions of your own. We have the abundant business circle. It's the first Wednesday at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, whether you're coming remotely or in person. That's one way for you to receive support in a group environment here at the institute.

Of if you are more in need of private support, you can go ahead and set up your private sessions by booking them online. Again, check out info@naturalintuition.com for more information.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling for this week about receiving support on your financial healing journey. It would be my honor to get to support you. We have fantastic resources and a big network here that can support you on your journey. Angels, what do we need to know? Angels of abundance.

Don't forget. We've been with this deck all month. Shouldn't be a surprise. Ooh. Unlimited ideas. Can you see that? Can you see that? Unlimited ideas.

Your mind is one with God's infinite mind, therefore you have complete access to unlimited ideas guaranteed to bring blessings. All you need to do is take divinely guided action to allow these ideas to come to fruition.

Here's where we're going to leave off for this week and land the plane for the month, our month of financial healing. Taking action is what creates results, and it's no small feat. So what you want to focus on this week in particular is receiving support around taking inspired actions to continue on your path to financial healing.

So whether it's the tactical support from your financial planner, or your CPA, your profit first coach, whoever you're going to see. Or if it's the emotional and spiritual support that you need that keeps you accountable and flowing and able to take action, coming here at the dojo for our programs and services.

So go ahead and comment below. Yes. Comment below this video.

Let me know what comes up for you. Go ahead and subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, and I'll see you next time.

Muah, muah, muah. To your abundance. Bye.

The post Love Letters | Receiving Support – Financial Healing Part 4 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Do you have a hard time saying "no" to people?

Always end up kicking yourself afterward, because you're too quick to say "yes" when others ask you if you can do something for them?

Wondering why you have trouble knowing and respecting your own boundaries?

Chronic people-pleasing behavior comes from our core human desires for significance and approval.

It's natural to want to feel significant and approved of, but it's a whole other can of wormy worms when you're dependent on others to feel emotionally secure.

Watch the above video to embrace the fact that your yes actually means no sometimes, and what to do about it!

"Can you do this for me? -- YEAH SURE!"

It's like a knee-jerk reaction.

The YES! comes flying out before you can check your schedule, before you have considered your current workload and commitments, and before you can even blink.

And we wonder why we feel so overwhelmed lately...

All of a sudden your workday is jampacked, you're wearing 5 hats in the office, and then when you get home you're putting out fires, going to parties with people you're not really interested in to keep up appearances of being "social" and "normal," the dishes and laundry are piling up, your socks have holes in them and your shoes and underpants are falling apart....

Meanwhile, everyone around you says you're a "good friend," a "good mom" and you "work hard" and that they love you for "always being there." In fact, whenever they hear that someone needs something done, they'll send them to you to do it for them, too!

That's quite beautiful on one hand to be so connected, involved and loved, however sometimes being so over-committed can catch up with you.

Your health and self-care are the first to go. Suddenly you've found that you're exhausted all the time, and you're not sleeping at night because you just can't turn off your mind.

Thoughts are racing through your head late at night when you should be sound asleep about the next thing that you "have to do" or "has to get done" around the house, at the office, or for so-in-so up the street, etc.

To stay organized and create some sense of order, you write up lists on sticky notes and pieces of paper and revel in the juiceyfulness of CROSSING OUT tasks when you finish them. YES!

And sometimes, when no one's looking... you'll even add a few tasks on to your existing lists just so you can cross them out immediately and feel EVEN MORE accomplished...

Is this sounding familiar yet? Maybe I'm the only one. 😉

Believe it or not, being addicted to solving other people's problems is actually a form of controlling and avoidant behavior.

Here's how it goes: if you can crowd your life with other people's issues and opinions, you can

1) "have a hand in" (read: "control") part of their lives, and that will make you feel personally significant--even if that significance is temporary and externally determined or artificial, and

2) you can also avoid confronting and healing your own internal insecurities and deep-seated emotional wounds, because you're too busy dealing with other people's stuff.

Having a Savior Complex therefore is an emotional Get-Out-Of-Jail-FREE Card! YAY!

Now, I'm not saying you should never help people and turn into a selfish, angry hermit crab. No.

However you should learn to honor YOURSELF and YOUR NEEDS when making a decision to lend a hand or get involved with others' projects.

You see, you don't have to save everybody who comes across your path.

Read any comic book or watch any movie about superheros, and that's one of the biggest lessons they have to learn too--you can't save everybody. It's about teamwork AND facing your own inner demons in the process, too.

One way you can combat overwhelm or caregiver's fatigue is by studying and practicing using a magickal two-letter word: "No."

You actually already say No now, while you're saying Yes--internally, that is.

Know this: Saying NO to you is saying YES to me. #selfcare #boundaries #love

Ever had the experience of your boss or a client or someone asking you to do something, and you said "Yes" out loud, but you felt uncomfortable in your body while doing it?

THAT is an example of when your Yes really means NO.

You see, your body never lies. And your emotions express themselves constantly to you through the sensations of your body through what is called your "gut feelings" or "listening to your heart"--notice the bodily organs: heart, gut.

Where we get lost is when we tune to and value other people's feelings moreso than our own--our own point of view gets lost in the sauce.

The "sauce" of empathic overwhelm, that is. And that's when our mind-body sponge becomes saturated by other's thoughts and feelings so much that we can't hear our own anymore.

Most people describe empathic overwhelm as "I need to get rid of all this negativity" or "I need clarity" or "I'm just so stressed out, I can't think straight" -- it's all the same.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows us what's the spiritual reason for WHY you're saying "yes" when you really mean "NO!"

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

Notice if you are aware of your needs and how you feel the next time someone asks you to do something today. You are nobody's servant and nobody's slave.

When someone asks you to do something today (that isn't about a life-threatening situation), buy yourself some time to check in with yourself and say "Let me see. I'll get back to you on that." And set a time later on, after you've tuned in to YOUR schedule, needs and feelings, to update them...

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

SHARE THIS! You’d be surprised how many people you know right now are in desperate need of healing and could use this information to change their life. If you can read this, you know someone who needs this Love Letter!
