Today we are stepping into Mercury going Retrograde till the 19th of August (even the after phase will take a bit longer than that). This event marks something that is happening every year at least 3 or 4 times and generally nothing to worry about as such.

It doesn’t matter if you are into astrology or you don’t believe in something like that – you will feel the energetic shift. Allowing yourself to accept what Mercury Retrograde has to offer, will allow you to move more smoothly during this phase.

What is happening during Mecury Retrogade?

Generally speaking, Mercury does affect our “logical” brains in a way that we are asked to think twice because everything seems to be a bit diffuse. Mercury in Astrology is to be seen as the planet of every day-to-day expression and communication. When it goes Retrograde our ability to think logically, express ourselves openly and our overall communication might experience a slow down. Things we say might missunderstood by others and our logical minds are going into a more reflection mood. This phase is very important for our personal Soulevolution, to take things more slowly and check in with ourselves what actually is going on. It means that we should not rush into new things, sign contracts before reading them five times and allow ourselves to reflect and dwell on things before making decisions. In addition to that technology might slow down or break down as well as there might be issues regarding travelling to expect. But keep in mind, what you send out will come back to you. So stay positive and think you will manage, no matter what.!!!

The law of attraction

Of course most of us have heard of the law of attraction and many of us working with it as well. Some of us might have had good results and others might not. There are thousands of books out there regarding this subject and all of them do bare some truth. But not one of them will tell you the real truth ( at least I haven’t found it yet)

Yes, our thoughts do have the power to attract things into our lives. No matter of negative or positive. This kind of thinking is thought to be a spiritual thing and not much attention was given towards that from “not so spiritual” people but that is slowly changing. More and more, science is finding its way into exploring how thoughts actually create reality and also how things, we give enough mental energy to, suddenly willingly or unwillingly do manifest in our lives. I am sure of that, that soon Quantumphysics will find the answer to this.

We know that if we imagine or focus enough on a certain thing we desire – it eventually come into our lives. Thoughts are nothing more than electromagnetic information we continously send out to the universe or the world. The more we put energy into our thoughts the more than likely they will eventually appear in some way or the other in our lives.

You can easily see this in your own life. Just think about what you actually truly believing about yourself and how the world around you will respond to this. For example if you don’t love yourself or respect yourself you will easily find people around you to do exactly this to you.They will disrespect you or bring you in situations that confirm what you thinking about yourself anyway.

Another example could be, if you truly believe that you deserve this or that, with no doubts, it suddenly appears in your life! So the more energy we put into our manifestation the more likely it is going to happen.

But there for sure there is a downfall to this and this is of course – ourselves. The power of our manifestation also very much depends on how we have mastered ourselves, not only mentally but also emotionally. If you want to manifest something and a few hours later you doubt it – you take away the energy you just put in.

In addition to that – how many times have you heard that you only need to think positive about something and it will happen. Have you ever tried to stay totally positive for even 2 days? Nearly impossible, as we are going through all sorts of emotions daily. Well there is more to it than just positive thinking to truly manifesting things into your life.

The right timing for manifestation

It is manifesting at the right time! This will not only doube your power but you also use the forces of the universe to fuel your manifestation.

I do work very close with the #mooncycle to choose right timing to manifest every day things into my life. The moon cycle shows us when its time to attract things into our lives and when to let them go. The law of manifestation is based on the law of magnetism, nothing less and nothing more.

The moon has powerful magnetic forces that are visible and tangible in the world. On a personal level but also on a environmental level (tides, the weather etc).

So generally speaking if you would like to manifest things in your life or attract them do it in the first quarter and second quarter of the moon – leading up to Full Moon.

After that you can use the moons power to release things you don’t want anymore.

Mercury Retrograde and Manifestation

I explained before how important the power of our own minds is to manifest things and circumstances in our life. We need to learn to control our minds through meditation and other excercise if we want to get more powerful.

Now coming into Mercury Retrograde Phase we will have problems to concentrate and use our full potential with our minds.

To find a way around this and still making the law of manifestation work for us more easily, I do recommend to go into deep meditation. Once we mastered the connection to the higher self, we gain access to another plane. We raise above our logical mind and are coming into the spheres of the higher mind. This can mean that we don’t know actually what we are manifesting as such, or better say we don’t write the rules for our manifestation. In this we sink into a state of surrendering to the universe, asking and knowing it will provide what we do need at the moment without us interfering.

For some of us that can be a real challenge as we tend to control everything in our lives. But this is an amazing opportunity to connect to some higher wisdom we normally wouldn’t be able to reach so easily. We might also take this chance of mercury retrograde to exactly explore higher realms by leaving the logical, everyday mind aside.

It is okay if you struggle with this concept or if its new to you. The ancient wisdom has been hidden for a long time but we have reached a point where we no longer can deny the truth. We all got the ability to manifest, to create our own reality and shape life. But we need to make the effort, put the work in and especially learn to master ourselves to be able to work with the true laws of the universe!
