The Power of Mercury Retrograde as a Self-Healing

The Power of Mercury Retrograde for Self-Healing

Posted on January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 by Debra Taitel

It’s that time again for the planet Mercury to do his little backward dance causing slow downs, mis-communications and technology break downs among other things.

If you’ve felt disoriented, mis-understood, confused or you are swimming in self-doubt this is the reason!

The good news about the retrograde phase is we have an opportunity to heal our deepest fears, bring conclusion to unresolved conflicts and release ourselves from past trauma or pain that limits our current experience.

When Mercury is in retrograde there are slow downs and delays which naturally guide us to review and reflect on different areas of our past. We are gifted with extra time to revisit projects that were started and never finished and we are urged to review and polish up current projects. The positives far outweigh the negatives here. As we revisit, we might find (and are able to correct) errors not previously noticed.

The retrograde phase gives us ample opportunity to re-kindle our inner flame and add passion and faith to our hopes and dreams. It also allows us to connect with people, places and joy-filled memories from our past.

So often we get caught up in the negative aspects of this particular time yet when we use it for self-healing by reflecting, re-grouping, re-vamping and re-kindling our passion, we are able to re-energize so we are ready to slowly move forward when Mercury goes direct on January 25. (Note: Be aware the effects of Mercury Rx will continue to a lesser degree for a few weeks after it goes direct)

Freedom begins with healing your past and Mercury Retrograde is the perfect time to do the work since the energy is naturally lit up and intensified. If you have the courage and awareness to look (from a neutral space) at the energy coming up it is easily released!

The reason many people have such a difficult time during Mercury Retrograde is not because of the slow down or the challenges presented. They have difficulty because they are resisting the intense, and sometimes painful, energy that is coming up for them.

If you find yourself resisting and in fear instead of embracing the time and using it as powerful time for self-healing simply take a breath and acknowledge what you are feeling then release it. It’s important to acknowledge how you are feeling. There is a lot of information in those feelings so notice and recognize them.

Everyone can use the power of Mercury Retrograde for self-healing. Take extra time in meditation. If you don’t have a ‘formal’ meditation practice, spend quiet time reflecting while focusing on your breath. Allow your mind to wander (and it will) then gently and effortlessly bring your attention back to your breath. (CLICK HERE for a free stress reducing meditation.)

Are you ready to say hello to Mercury Retrograde and use this time for self-healing? If the answer is ‘NOOOOO’ you are in resistance. Simply notice the resistance and let it go. If the answer is ‘YES’ you’re in for a time of life-changing, self-healing as you reflect, review, revise, rekindle, release and RE-ENERGIZE!

Happy Healing!~Shine Your Light Debbie

2016 The Beginning is Near!

“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.”~Arnold Bennett

In a few short days we’ll be completing another chapter of our very own, up close and personal, book of life. How was the chapter? Did you enjoy the writing? Good, bad or indifferent this chapter is about to end and the beginning of a new one is near!

It’s time to review, reflect, forgive, release then take time to dream and create a foundation for the year to come. As you review your year, collect up and call back any energy you left behind.

There may be energy caught up in unanswered questions, plans that didn’t come to fruition, mistakes, or even happy times we “never want to forget”. Don’t worry! Calling back your energy from those happy times doesn’t mean you’ll forget. It means you’ll have all that joyful, enthusiasm back to create more happy times!

The beauty of 365 days made up of 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes is we have ample time to create, live, love and learn. At this point in the year it doesn’t matter if we achieved our goals or not. Whatever happened or didn’t happen in 2015 it was written and now it’s done.

This morning I woke up to a horoscope that said “if “Plan A” doesn’t work, there are twenty-five more letters in the alphabet.”. I love that on so many levels! Sometimes we become really stuck if “plan A” doesn’t work out. It’s time to let go of any “plan A’s” from 2015 and begin creating what we want for 2016 using the entire alphabet!

“The key to a better life isn’t always a change of scenery. Sometimes it simply requires opening your eyes.” ~Richelle E. Goodrich

As awakening souls it’s best to remember we don’t necessarily have to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. Sometimes we just need to open our hearts and minds to a new way. All too often we become rigid in our thinking. When we decide in advance something will or won’t work, or, we think it will fail or we might make a mistake, our dream is quashed before we’ve even started.

Open your heart and mind. Bring back your enthusiasm! Connect with courage and create your 2016 complete with everything you want! Write down a list, it doesn’t matter how long, of what would you like to see manifest 2016. Instead of lamenting about 2015, dream of 2016! The beginning is near!

“The best endings are the ones that lead to new beginnings.”~Mathangi Subramanian

Whether 2015 was a challenging year or an exciting year, the best ending you can possibly have is to look back and congratulate yourself for all the good things that happened. All too often we focus on the negative and minimize the positive. Time to review, reflect, forgive, release and CREATE! It’s a new year featuring YOU. It’s a new year featuring your dreams, and new opportunities. HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR! How exciting! The beginning is near!~Shine Your Light Debbie
