Should We Really Embrace Our Pain?

img_9834.png

We as Souls decide to be humans to experience the hardships, challenges, pain and adversity, because as a Universal love we don't have the means to embody any other perspective than oneness, unconditional love, and understanding in Spirit form.

Humans are messy.

We have complex bodies and minds, and with our Soul and inner spirit inside of our heavy meat suits, we walk through the ups and downs of life trying to accomplish inner peace.

We are born with a quest for inner peace because that is the energy we live in as Spirit. It acts as our moral compass within these complex bodies to lead us on the path that gives us the best chance of feeling the inner peace that we come from.

This is a pretty heavy world we live in. We have lots of opportunities to either become more in alignment with our inner selves, or the chance to live in the world of illusions that we have created through the roles and requirements of the survival of our ego.

Ego is the voice and programming we have in our head. It is the inner chatter of negative and fear based motivations that have us abandoning the moral compass inside to fulfill all of our worldly needs and desires. And there's nothing wrong with that!

If you have a soul that has spent countless reincarnations as a poor or unfortunate human, struggling through lives without the luxuries of pleasure and comfort, it is totally fair to come into this life as a rich person who lives every moment surrounded with the best of the best this world has to offer, and not feel bad about it. Many people will get to experience that life lesson and at the end of that life, most would agree that THINGS, material possessions, and wealth was fun, but it came at far too great of a price.

Jim Carey, as eccentric as he's been over the years, will be the first one to say that everyone should have the opportunity to be rich and famous for them to realize that it isn't the answer.

The richest a soul wants or needs to be, is rich in experience, rich in lessons, and rich in the wisdom to know that if it wasn't for their pain and struggles, they would have never discovered their strength, their spiritual self, or the closest thing to inner peace a human could ever know.

I truly believe that The Universe gives the best students the toughest tests, and that we are tested in our faith and ability to tap into the love and trust in one's self and in the Universe as our Souls know very well. Many of the greatest spiritual healers come from great tragedy and pain. True healers don't go looking to fix people, but rather attract those ready to be triggered into wanting to help and heal themselves.

Through the scars of those that use their stories of experience to help inspire and encourage others to find their inner light, healers must endure the greatest pain from life experience to be able to show others that the way out of darkness, is to follow the light.

As humans, we are told that pain is something we want to avoid. Yes, it's unpleasant and something no one wants to voluntarily experience, but the reality is, it's through pain and discomfort that we learn and grow. Sometimes we don't have a choice in the trauma that we've experienced. We are conditioned by culture, genetics, environment, and influenced by those that raised us.

A lot of the time, we suffer from the actions and decisions of others. A child doesn't have control on whether they are abused, yet the abuser’s own inner hurt caused long lasting effects on a child that had nothing to do with the pain they experienced in life. Often times pain is passed down through generations, and each time it is up to us to heal from hurts that we didn't cause ourselves.

We as a society are going through a huge health crisis, as the weight and stresses of this world are sometimes too overwhelming for our energetic selves to handle. Because we are energy bodies trapped inside these human bodies, the alignment of these systems are so influential on each other that we have to treat disorders and diseases as whole body sicknesses and not focus on JUST the mental body, or JUST the emotional body, or JUST the physical body.

We are now seeing an epidemic of new diseases and disorders that are misunderstood to the medical community. Disorders like fibromyalgia, CRPS, MS, Dementia, and Alzheimers are effecting more people now than ever before.

I am a true believer in both energy and medical science, and trust that you need to factor both in, in order to fully understand what these diseases and disorders are operating on.

Most of the unexplainable disorders and diseases now are nervous system based. Because we live in a much more toxic world than ever before, both energetically and chemically, our energy bodies are overstimulated and begin to manifest physical symptoms.

I myself suffer from CRPS (Complex regional pain syndrome) caused by complications from my emergency surgeries surrounding my near-death-experience. CRPS effects the autonomic nervous system actions such as heart rate, digestion, temperature regulation and the automatic processes of your internal organs.

To simplify, my body tells my brain that it's under attack and my brain responds by sending all my cells into overdrive and fighting a non-existent war, which in turn, ends up identifying my own body as the invader. It sucks. After 10 years, I still don't have a full understanding of what goes on inside my body and brain.

Through my quest for a PHYSICAL healing, I have discovered that there is no amount of healing that will take place unless the whole body is being healed. Meaning, your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical self, all need to be nurtured and balanced in order to operate properly.

There is a huge mind, body, soul connection that we are JUST starting to realize here in the western world of healing. Most times than not, when we suffer a health crisis, it is really the beginning of a spiritual quest and discovery. It makes you face yourself, refocus your energy and efforts to heal yourself and get back to the things you love.

For example, if you break your leg, you will be in pain, it will bum you out, you will miss out on doing things you love, you will have lots of time to think of things that you wouldn't normally think about, and it is in these times that your inner strength - or lack there of - is revealed.

You find out just how strong you are when you have no choice but to be. And if you're lucky, you will heal the bone, and help yourself back to health and be able to regain full functioning of your leg and engage in all the things you couldn't do with a cast on. When you are able to regain your ability to take part in the things you missed out on, you will do so with a new appreciation for it, because at one time you took it for granted.

For some, we don't recover. Something happens in our physical bodies, and then of course in our mental and emotional selves, that don't allow the leg to fully heal. We end up losing our identity bit-by-bit by having to accept the fact that we may never skate board again, or live a life without being in pain. We may never walk without a limp or not be able to walk ever again.

Everyone's story is different. Everyone's circumstances are different. But one thing that is the same, is pain. We all experience pain. Everyone's pain IS pain, and there shouldn't be any comparison among pain and trauma. We are stuck in a culture that promotes focusing on pain, and promotes competition among everything we humans do. I have encountered many people on my path that compare pain and trauma to make themselves appear that they are in more pain than you.

I will repeat, pain is not a competition.

We are also a society that encourages healing. A part of healing is to acknowledge and embrace the pain. Whether we are talking about an emotional or physical trauma, there is always pain. As humans, we got really good at detaching and repressing pain. Whether we weren't raised in a healthy environment that encouraged expression, or whether we were just we unable to fully express ourselves in our world, we all have issues that we've stuffed so far down, that we are almost in denial of their existence.

That's what happens when you decide to heal. You have to ask all the pain hiding in the darkness of your heart to step up and identify themselves. You have to stare that pain in the face and hug it as much as you hate it. You have to acknowledge the pain's existence, and then you have to embrace the pain.

The problem is, we usually stop there. There is one more step to the process that we fail to complete, which is letting that pain go. We like to hold onto our pain. It makes sense to hold on, and identify with our pain, because it's because of the pain, that we are currently who we are.

We identify so greatly with our pain, that we begin to wear it as our armour. We get up every day and put on the pain that has shaped us. Sometimes, we are so scared to let go of the pain and actually heal, because we are afraid of who we might be without it.

I know it sounds too simple to be true, because chronic illness and ongoing pain is a very real thing. But the way to heal the physical pain, is to acknowledge the energetic pain that our physical, mental, and emotional bodies hold onto. It is through rewiring your brain, in alignment with what your other body systems know to be true, before we can truly see an improvement in our physical health.

I have been on the quest to heal for 10 years now, and I still suffer from debilitating physical pain that interferes with my life and has shaped me greatly. It is a daily struggle for me to be aware enough of myself, to remind myself that the pain does not define me. I am currently undergoing a very intense therapy that explores how to align the physical muscle memory and the energetic system of the body to reset the programming between the brain and the body. It focuses on the physical symptoms as a secondary complaint to the emotional trauma that tends to be a motivator for the body to hold onto.

When we focus so much on pain, we experience more pain. We give power to where we focus our attention. It is easy to feel at odds with your own body when you are constantly suffering from the wrath of hate your body seems to have for itself.

But instead of looking at pain as the enemy, we should embrace the pain enough to ask it what it needs to heal. When you befriend your pain, and use it as an indicator as to what you should actually be focusing on healing, you become more one with yourself then you would be when at odds with yourself.

Disease happens when we are not in ease within our selves. Dis-ease is created when the body systems aren't in harmony and balanced with one another. So any time there is a physical symptom, you need to realize there is an emotional motivator keeping that pain alive. We need to identify the trauma, acknowledge it, embrace it... and then let it the f@ck go!

We have to work on our release. Thank your pain every day for allowing you to experience your inner strength. Thank your pain for showing you the way to your spiritual self. Thank your pain for showing you where you need to focus, and thank your pain for coming as you boot it out the door.

I invite you, if you are a pain sufferer, to adopt the perspective every day when you get up in the morning, regardless of how bad you feel, that you GET to wake up today, you GET to learn how to take care of yourself, and you GET to be on the path of self discovery. When you stop putting your energy into the pain and the limitations it puts on you, you will see the pain shift.

Is it possible to get rid of pain completely and fully heal from such a horrible disease or disorder?

I'd like to think so! I believe in miracles and I believe in science. I think if you put forth the effort and are open to exploring your inner self, you will find you really do heal! It may be small parts of you that get healed or it may be a total recovery. I believe it is the best thing you can do for your state of mind and physical health.

Even getting needles every week and IV infusions more often than anyone should, I remind myself hooked up to those machines that this is just temporary. It's all just a stepping stone towards being free of the pain.

I have befriended my pain. I have embraced it and allowed it to lead my life. I've asked it what it needs from me, and I've given it everything I can. I still live with my pain, but each day it is another step to letting it go. And one day, when it has taught me all there is to teach, it will be released from my body, as I transform the pain energy it has created into a source of power.

I invite you to do the same.

Numerology: The Power Of Numbers

Everything in our world carries an energy, a frequency, a vibration, and numbers are no different. Each number (0 through 9, with the addition of the master number 11) indicates an energy influence that can help us understand what stage we are currently at in life if we look at our age, what cycle we are currently in if we look at the month and day, and what life path we are on when we look at our numerological profile.

Although there aren't “good and bad” numbers per se, there are numbers that suggest ease as well as there are numbers that suggest hardships or obstacles.

Numerology is one way we can figure out what it is we are here to do in the world, and where our obstacles may lay in your path. Many people use numbers as signs and messages from the Universe when they are seeing the same number sequence over and over again.

Most of us grow up with a favourite number that we consider to be "our lucky number". And just as many people have aversions to, or are reluctant to use certain numbers (666 for example).

In this series "Numerology: The Power Of Numbers" we will be talking about each number (0-9, + 11, and sequences of these numbers and the meanings behind them.

My hope is that you will follow along and use some of the formulas to identify the power of numbers in your own life, and learn to use them in your day to day life. For starters, let's start off with an easy exercise to give you an idea what your "favourite number" actually means to you. 

 

If your number is a single digit:

Number 0 - Although the number zero isn't really considered a value in numerology, it's very important as it indicates a cycle of completion. The zero has no beginning and no end, and is usually representative of the space between finishing an energetic life cycle, and not quite beginning the next. If your favourite number is 0, you likely find yourself between endings and beginnings often, and recognize that life is just a series of never-ending energy cycles.

Number 1 - Being the first real number with value, the number 1 is indicative of a new beginning and a fresh start. It suggests a fresh new attitude and perspective and a want, need, and desire to try a new way of doing things, and an urge to try new things in life. If your favourite number is 1, you are likely spontaneous and enjoy new experiences. You are willing to try anything once, and often think before you act.

Number 2 - The number 2 is about balance. It suggests that you've already reached a certain level of balance where you've accomplished a certain level of achievement already. The number 2 also suggests that you enjoy partnerships and teamwork. If your favourite number is 2, you likely enjoy being in the company of others, and enjoy partnerships and team building activities. You enjoy the support of others and will often have a very strong work ethic.

Number 3 - The number 3 is a very social number. It's a number that represents our want and need to grow our social circles and community to share ideas and collaborate with others. It's also closely related to the mind, body, and soul, father, son, and holy spirit, and the Maiden, Mother and The Crone. If your favourite number is 3, you are likely very social, chatty, and enjoy intellectual conversations and analyzing information. You are also on a quest to learn more and evolve into a higher form of your best self.

Number 4 - The number 4 is about foundations. It represents the effort and energy one puts into making sure the cornerstones of their foundations in life are sturdy and solid. It's also connected to the home and family environment, and the comfort and security of one's home life. If your favourite number is 4, you will prefer stability and security over everything. You are protective of your family and are very money conscious.

Number 5 - The number 5 is closely connected to our passion and creative spark. It is an energy that can re-ignite our soul's, our passion, our creative projects, and even our romance sector. It's the stage in life where you have accomplished a certain level of success in achieving a solid foundation in life, and now it's time to grow and branch out to try new things. If your favourite number is 5, you are likely very creative with a great imagination. You are very passionate and caring and are always on the quest to throw yourself into something 100%.

Number 6 - The number 6 is connected to material items and what we do in life to acquire these items. It's our productivity and how we are of service to others. There is a strong focus on our health and wellness with the number 6, but mostly it's a number that has us thinking about what we own or want to possess. If your favourite number is 6, you likely worry a bit too much, especially over others. You will be very rigid in your routines, not liking to deviate from what works for you, and suffer from not giving yourself the rest and relaxation you require to balance your mind, body, and Soul.

Number 7 - The number 7 is closely linked to Spirituality and how we share our experiences with others. This is a Soul kind of partnership and very much focused on going through life and the experiences it holds with someone you love and trust. In gambling, Lucky Number 7 is a favourite of many and because of its close link to the Spirit realm, the vibration of 7 is a strong one. If your favourite number is 7, you are likely very social and like to mediate situations. You always do what is fair and just and enjoy long-term partnerships. You are closely connected to your Spiritual beliefs and are drawn to things of beauty.

Number 8 - The number 8 is also the infinity sign, suggesting that there are no endings or beginnings just a constant ebb and flow of energy. The number 8 is a very transformative number with close links to the Spirit realm as well. It's a universal number meaning people from all different cultures and religions see the number eight as a holy number closely connected tot the divine. If your favourite number is 8, you likely are someone who is always transforming yourself to a better version of who you are. You tend to like the mystery in life, and have an understanding of all things metaphysical. You enjoy the quest of proving that there is more than meets the eye in this world.

Number 9 - The number 9 in the number closely related to endings. It is the last single digit before we get into the double digits. The number 9 is about finishing or completing certain energy cycles and life experiences. If your favourite number is 9, you likely get a certain personal satisfaction from a job well done. You love being able to complete projects and see all of your hard work as a result.

Number 11 - The number 11 is considered a master number in numerology. Any time you see 11, or multiples of it in sequence (example: 22, 33, 44, etc.) you are divinely connected tot he Spirit realm as they guide you through your path. If your favourite number is 11 (or a sequence of 11), you are likely very spiritual and feel connected to and divine guided throughout life. You believe in a higher power and are very in tune with the energies of the Universe.

 

If your favourite number is a double/triple digit:

The whole basic principle of numerology is to settle on a single digit to carry the vibration or frequency. Mean if your favourite number is 289, you would add those numbers together to get a single digit (2+8+9= 19 / 1+9= 10 / 1+0 = 1).

If 289 were your favourite number, essentially it would be a 1 vibration.

If your favourite number was 77, you wouldn't add the numbers together because it is a multiple or sequence of the number 11 (a master number connected to Angelic or Divine Guidance) combined with the 7 vibration (a Spiritual, lucky, partnership number).

Now that you've had a peak at what some basic numerology energy means to your favourite numbers, you may find that you will be seeing your favourite number in a lot more places than usually. It will seem to be everywhere you look.

Once you attach yourself to a certain vibration or frequency, the Universe let's you know that they are paying attention to YOU paying attention, and validate you energetic connection to the number by showing it to you in even the most random of places.

In the next article of the "Numerology: The Power Of Numbers" series, we will take a look at identifying our life path, and how we can use that information to help us in our daily lives.

Uranus Enters Taurus

Uranus, the planet of shock and surprise, unexpected and sudden change, revolution, freedom, and individuality, makes its move into Taurus where it will stay for 7 years. Uranus has an 84 year total orbit, meaning it takes that long for it to do a complete cycle throughout all the signs. It spends approximately 7 years in each sign and with each move Uranus makes it impacts us as a global collective on some pretty powerful issues.

Uranus moved into Taurus (the sign where the Goddess Venus rules over love, beauty, money and possessions) back on May 18, 2018, and stayed there until later retrograding back into Aries in November. Although the time in Taurus was not for very long, it did give us a taste of what’s about to come.

For many of us, 2018 was a time of breakdowns and destruction. Our relationships were rattled, our careers were shaken and the world came together as we supported women all over the world in the #MeToo movement. I personally had my foundations rattled into a pile of rumble as many of us did, creating a brand new opportunity to align ourselves with our authentic truth and start living lives that were supportive of our Soul’s heart and desires.

When Uranus slipped back into Aries, it gave us a bit of a break to go back to our inner worlds and clean up the mess that was created within. But now, with Uranus direct in Taurus, we can expected a huge shift in ourselves and in the world as the lightening of Uranus strikes down hitting mother earth, triggering all of us to upgrade our vibrations and frequency to support the 7 year cycle that has been initiated.

This shift will effect everyone, but will have the most impact on the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius), as they get fast forwarded in life lessons forcing them to leave their comfort zones. These fixed signs do not like change unless it’s a change they themselves want and agree too. Unfortunately, they won’t have much of a choice under this particular influence to get out in the world and spice things up.

Uranus in Taurus will have long-term effects on us as this aspect favours long-term relationships, long-term growth, and long-term success. We will find ourselves attracted to things of beauty that break the mould as far as what we were previously use to being attracted to.

We will see global changes in how we protect mother earth and how we use the resources of the world. With sudden changes and unexpected opportunities revolutionizing the way we operate in our finance sector, no doubt we will feel this energy on an individual level as well.

Because Uranus is moving into Taurus on the same day as the most magical New Moon in Pisces takes place, just hours after Mercury dips into a retrograde, we can expect for the energy to be a bit wonky until it stabilizes.

Until then, it’s a perfect time to tap into the New Moon vibes, dreaming of all the beautiful things you’d like to experience in your life, especially considering the areas that Uranus and Taurus will effect.

This is a brand new world, as most of us weren’t around back in the 1930’s when Uranus and Taurus were last together, so we are all in uncharted waters. What I know to be true is that individually, we are aligning to a brand new frequency that is very supportive of our earth, its resources, and the feminine energy that spans the globe.

It is exactly what the world needs right now, so please do your part by first taking care of yourself, empowering your own energy and vibration, and recognize that when we all work on ourselves, we connect on a collective level which funnels our energy not only into each other, but into the earth as a whole.

New Moon In Pisces

The New Moon in Pisces takes place today granting us an unbelievable magical opportunity to really trigger the karmic events in bringing our inner dreams to the outer world. This is by far the most potent New Moon we will have this year as there are major aspects taking place with several major heavy-hitter planets.

For starters, a New Moon is a powerful time to be inviting in new energy to help us evolve and further us on our spiritual path. Because this is taking place in Pisces, the sign of the dreamer, you can expect our unconscious selves and our intuition to be connecting to the Universe at an all time high.

We had Mercury (the planet of intellect, information, and communication) go retrograde in Pisces yesterday, making us move inward as we explore how we are communicating with our inner selves, our intuitions and the Universe as we connect back to source. Having mercury retrograde in Pisces, will have us quickly looking back on how far we’ve come and take stock on where it is we still want to go.

Neptune, (Pisces ruler), is currently in the sign of Pisces (its home and comfort zone) making it act at its most potent energy, influencing our dreams and unconscious desires. Our faith in ourselves, in our intuition, and in the Universe, is at its peak now, urging us to take that leap of faith required to really put ourselves out there in the world to get into position to start seeing our inner dreams start showing up in our external realities.

The New Moon in Pisces is creating a slight tension with Jupiter in Sagittarius. With this aspect, it is just enough applied pressure on us to really be wanting to expand our horizons and go after our truths.

The New Moon is also harmonizing with Mars in Taurus, which triggers our drive and passion to really get out in the world and be seen from a different perspective. This aspect is having us do whatever we need to do in order to level up our personal finances, to better our material wealth and possessions, and to step up our productivity in our work to hit that next level of success.

As Chiron is already in Aries, pushing us to claim who we really are in the world and to come out of hiding, Mars will give us that “kick in the ass” we need to truly step into the light from our dark comfort zones.

Luckily, we can pause all the dreaminess going on to check into reality with Saturn in Capricorn. This aspect is making sure we test the strength of the foundations under us to make sure we aren’t getting carried away with ourselves and that the steps we are being urged to take are the right ones for us. We don’t want to underestimate our footings at this time and find ourselves stepping into a sink hole.

Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, unexpected opportunities, rebellion, freedom, and revolution, makes its move into Taurus today setting a brand new energy cycle for us over the next 7 years. This is no joke. Because this happens on the same day as our New Moon in Pisces, you can expect for our judgement to be slightly off and that there will be a lack of clarity until this energy gets a chance to stabilize. This will influence the leap of faith we are making during this energy be focused on where we need to land on the other side of this gap to fully embrace our new path as we set out on a quest for revitalizing the way we work, and how we acquire money and possessions.

As you can see, this New Moon is jam packed with astrological magic as we embark on a journey that we have no map for. Trusting ourselves, our intuition and the Universe is the only choice we have at this point. The more we try to hang on to old structures, habits, and beliefs, the more we try to control the events taking place and the path forward, the more difficulties we will find ourselves in. The only way out of this energy with success and with ease is to fully surrender to life and deal with whatever comes up for you with fluidity.

Going with the flow is your best bet during these times. It is better to roll than to be dragged.

Mercury Retrogrades In Pisces

img_9253-2.jpg

img_9577

Mercury, the planet that rules our intellect, information, and communication, goes retrograde today in Pisces. When a planet goes retrograde, it appears to us as it’s moving backwards in it’s orbit. A retrograde is a time where we slow down, and the normal energy influence of the planet moves from being exerted outwardly to an inward direction.

When Mercury goes retrograde (usually 3 or 4 times a year) we are slowed down by the Universe and have the opportunity to reflect back on what has taken place in our lives in order to review, re-edit, and revise our plans moving forward.

Mercury, effects all means of communication, writing, emails, verbal interactions and the way we express ourselves. It effects all things mechanical and electrical, and when in retrograde it causes mayhem for 3 weeks (up to 5 weeks if you factor in the shadow period both before and after the retrograde). It’s never a good time to start new things, to purchase new computers, appliances, or cars. It’s recommended to avoid signing any contracts or involve yourself with any kind of important paperwork during a retrograde.

Although there are many things we’d like to avoid during a retrograde period, life does have to go on, and so if you have to encounter some of the things that should be avoided, you really have to do your best to make sure you pay attention to the details. Often times, emails will be sent to the wrong person, computers will crash, cars will malfunction, dishwashers, washers and dryers will act up, and travel plans will go awry.

Many people dread mercury retrogrades (for good reason), but if you tap into all the positives a Mercury retrograde provides you with, you could really accomplish a lot in your inner work. It is common to have past situations, especially ones that you thought you were over, rise to the surface to rear it’s ugly head again. This is a time were exes may resurface or people from your past pop up out of nowhere.

Although it can be uncomfortable and unpleasant to have to deal with situations you’d rather not deal with, we are given these opportunities to handle these situations differently than we did in the past in order to provide a more solid closure to some of the life lessons we didn’t fully close the door on.

Regardless of what sign Mercury goes retrograde in, the classic “symptoms” of Mercury going retrograde stay the same. What adds a bit of an extra challenge (or benefit depending on how you look at it) is when you get the energetic influence of whatever sign the retrograde takes place in.

This time around, we are having Mercury retrograde in the sign of Pisces. Mercury is very uncomfortable in the sign of Pisces as the powers of Mercury are almost totally muted. Mercury being an air sign, ruling the mental plane and relying on logic and clarity in how it expresses itself outwardly, is suffocated under all of the water of Pisces as it rules intuition and emotions.

If Mercury is electricity (thoughts, ideas, and how we process information at the speed of light) then imagine what happens when this electricity gets mixed with water. Sparks fly, the brain shorts out, and we no longer have the steady electrical current to stabilize our mental plane.

You may have already been feeling the effects of Mercury retrograding in Pisces. When Mercury entered into Pisces on February 10th, (in a direct position) many people felt like their mind got cloudy, foggy, and very vague on how they understood new information. They noticed that their train of thought was totally spacey and the intense emotions that washed over them was very disorienting not having the mental plane be able to provide logic or clarity on where these emotions were coming from. Communication began to be a challenge. People are seeming to be tongue tied, sleepy and in a world of their own. It’s been quite a time.

Unfortunately, it won’t get much better as we enter into the retrograde.

Because this is taking place in Pisces, we do have some really great benefits of this energy if we know how to focus it and work it to our advantage. This is a great time for artistic endeavours. Pisces is the dreamer, involved in art, writing, poetry, and anything that is a creative form of expression will be encouraged and supported.

It’s also a great time to work on our spiritual practice. Learning about anything to do with metaphysics, astrology, meditation, energy healing, dreams, and our psychic abilities. It’s a perfect time to move inwards, retreating from social activities to quiet the mind and let your intuition speak to you and guide you through this time of inner reflection.

Mercury retrograde is nothing to fear and in fact, I encourage you to embrace it by giving yourself permission to relax, rest, and recover. Don’t try to start new things or initiate new projects. Don’t force anything during this time. And definitely give yourself permission to take a time out as physical activity is at an all time low.

Avoid frustration by simply surrendering to whatever your day brings to you instead of swimming against the current. We need to be doing ourselves a service by allowing our minds, bodies, and souls, to recuperate before the new energetic calendar has us filled with a new vitality for life and supports us taking action in our realities.
