“The more we speed up, the more reality slows us down. However, circumstances prevent us from retreating.”~Leo Horoscope by Jeff Lawler

On my journey of healing I seek to find answers in all that I see and experience. Lately I’ve looked at the energy of those dreams I wish to manifest and the “fantasies” or illusions which hold my attention and take up the space where my REAL dreams could manifest IF there was a space for them. As I read the words from my horoscope (quoted above) it occurred to me what a great answer they hold.

In spirit there is no time or space and during this time of rapid shifting of energies, it may feel like reality is slowing us down or nothing is happening. We may be feeling stuck, stagnant or as if for every two steps forward we are pulled four steps back. Let me assure you nothing is further from the truth! There is truth in the words “the more we speed up, the more reality slows us down” and I don’t know about you but I’ve felt the effect of those words for some time. Everything is in motion, I feel like I’m moving forward then WHAMO the energy hits and it feels as if wasn’t going anywhere after all or more to the point, it feels like I was yanked back to square one. I’m sure at one time or another you have experienced your own version of what I described.

Is ‘reality’ really slowing you down?

As with all things to do with energy and healing there are several explanations for what you are feeling. The meaning for each of us will be completely different. One person might be experiencing control energy. For another it might mean there is more to heal before they can take their step. Regardless of the meaning it’s important to know what is really happening; You are growing and changing as spirit which knows no time yet your body exists in time and needs time to catch up! It’s not that you’re slowing down as much as you are incorporating and integrating the spiritual changes into your body. When you feel a slow down or you get hit with a massive growth period as more energy clears there is often a tendency to go into resistance to the slow down itself. It’s important to remember that any time you go into resistance you really will slow the process and possibly get stuck in it.

Go With the Flow!

Time is an illusion created by man. What’s the rush? If you are in a place of feeling like you’re not moving but you are meditating, releasing, taking the steps to heal, and grow and expand as spirit with the intent of bringing it into the body; Instead of focusing on the delay, shift your focus to the small things that are moving you toward manifesting your goal. Shift your focus to the space you are creating for yourself with all the release. Allow the growth period that comes along with any and all growth to simply BE. Notice it without resistance and begin validating yourself for the steps you are taking. That small shift in focus helps to clear the resistance to any delay.

When you are doing spiritual work you cannot take back or retreat from what you put in motion. It doesn’t always feel good but know this; The moment you find that uncomfortable place you are in EXACTLY the right place to heal it and create space for your “reality” to change. Is it reality really slowing you down or are you in a growth period? Is your reality really reality or merely an illusion of time?~Shine Your Light Debbie

Once again Mercury, the planet ruling of all forms of communication, intellect, commerce and technology, begins its retrograde phase. Perhaps you’ve already been feeling the effects of this upcoming phase. You may be forgetful, have technology challenges or notice a lot of mis-communication. Mercury goes retrograde three times a year and in my opinion has gotten a bit of a bad rap.

Yes, there are communication issues, you shouldn’t sign a contract without checking and double checking the details (it is not advisable to sign anything during this time but if it’s unavoidable do your best to be mindful of the fine print) lest it have to be re-negotiated, and technology challenges arise at every turn but you are actually receiving a gift. Mercury retrograde gives you the opportunity to review all the details that have led you to the present moment. Take this time and use it to your advantage!

Going backwards to move forward…

How can you possibly use it to your advantage when things that were once flowing seemingly coming to an abrupt halt? Well, that’s exactly HOW you use it to your advantage! When Mercury goes retrograde you have a chance to re-visit energies and heal those things you may not know consciously are still unresolved. You might start thinking about past events, hear from an old beau or notice you are in a challenging situation very similar (or exactly the same) as something that happened in the past. When this happens, not “if” but “when”, you can heal it because you now know it wasn’t cleared up or there is stuck energy still needing to be released or resolved. With awareness this is a time clear blockages and receive a tremendous healing.

The slow down or halt of those things that were flowing nicely is also a gift. Use this time for rest and rejuvenation. Reflect on what’s been going on, how you’ve handled yourself, the choices you’ve made and go within to reconnect with your passion and spirit. Our daily lives move so rapidly that sometimes we put things on the back burner, so to speak. Review what has happened, clear the energy, forgive yourself and others then move on to plan for the creative endeavor you put away until further notice. Mercury retrograde is the “further notice”! This slow down gives you ample opportunity to fine tune, re-connect with spirit, heal and re-visit anything and everything you’ve shoved into the closet in the back of your mind. You don’t necessarily want to start anything new until after March 17 (allow one week after for the energies to settle) but you can certainly put your plan of attack on paper!

You can even use the technology breakdowns to your advantage. if your computer crashes you might just have to pick up the phone and actually speak to a human being instead of the email you were going to send. If technology goes haywire and you can’t send an important document or report, review what you were working on. You may find an error you previously missed or a paragraph that could use clarity and this gives you the chance for a complete or partial ‘do over’ if necessary. Of course we love our Facebook, Twitter and the like but if for some reason you are dis-connected from your social media, you now have the time to get connected with yourself again! You have time to meet up with a friend in person or better yet before you go out take time to meditate!

Use this Mercury Retrograde time wisely and to your advantage. Take a step back, allow for a much-needed break, heal, reflect upon what you’ve accomplished and put your goals for the future in order. Take a deep breath, clear lingering blockages and let go. Review, renew, reflect, reconnect, notice where your attention has been and get your space back. ~Shine Your Light Debbie
