Today is the first Mercury retrograde of the year which will last until May 14, then August 23 to September 15, and the last is from December 13 to January 1, 2024.
We’ve been warned not to initiate, sign or buy anything during Mercury retrograde; otherwise, it won’t turn out right or end up a lemon, incomplete, or it has to be fixed, repaired, replaced, redone, or renegotiated later.
Everything that starts with “Re-“
The Mercury retrograde period is really more than the delays in travel, miscommunications, issues with technology, or bad luck encountered during this period. Treat this period instead as a divine, cosmic gift from the universe to help us slow down, pause, take a break to go inward, and do everything that starts with “re”: reflect, review, re-evaluate, re-assess, release, remove and re-create.
It is said that during Mercury retrograde, our meditative right brain becomes stronger, and our analytical left brain is less dominant..
The result is that it will be easier to tune into our hearts, hear and pay attention to our intuition. The Mercury retrograde period is the time to pause, take a break, go inward, receive downloads, and upgrade our awareness level.
To help you during this Mercury retrograde period, recite the mantra Ang Sang Wahe Guru 25 times daily. It means “The Infinite Being, God, is with me, and vibrates in every molecule, cell of my being.”The mantra creates a vibration that allows your psyche to readjust itself by stopping your brain from spiralling out of control.
A wise guru says the mantra Ang Sang Wahe Guru is meant “for destroying unconscious habits and unconscious thoughts for which we are not willing to go through the consequences.” Reciting the mantra at least 25 times a day “…will develop intuition in you that you need. It will let you see the unseen, hear the unheard, and know the unknown.”
Wishing you calm, strength, and fresh realizations this retrograde.
In loving service,
Rosan
