Don’t Regress During The Retrograde

By

Seasons and Seismic Shifts May Occur

In case you don’t know tomorrow is the beginning of the last Mercury Retrograde of the year and with the passing Supermoon, there are all sorts of cosmological situations that may make life difficult to contend with.

Mercury the planet was named after the Roman God of commerce and communication and when the retrograde occurs, human communication can be disrupted.

And to top things off the end of the year hustle and bustle is beginning, so people may get a little testy and not be so cheerful.

No matter. There is an easy way to keep calm and carry on. You don’t have to fight fire with fire.

Simply stop and breathe.

Return to your true home that is always with us – Now!

From this place of calm and peace, it is possible to have compassion for others during this time and always.

We are all doing the best we can.

Practice self-care. Walk and walk-away when you need to.

Take it all in.

Be grateful!

Meander in your mind as you meditate. Who are you and who is having this experience?

Think outside of the box and share your creativity with others or at least in your journal.

Practice box breathing when you feel your agitation stirring.

Love all and serve all.

Peace!

Pain and Gain

By

Like a broken tooth, an illness or a divorce, sometimes life has a way of helping you bring your awareness to the present moment.

Pain is the body’s way of letting you know that something needs your attention. When you are hurting your focus is directed to the affected area. Something happens to us that wakes us up and draws our awareness to whatever may be ailing us. We are jolted us up and out of the stupor we may have fallen in to.

It is not necessary however to experience painful disruptive events as the only way to bring your attention to the present moment.

Eckert Tolle encourages us to actively increase our awareness and consciousness in the good times and not just the bad. “So it is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In this way, you grow in presence power. It generates an energy field in you and around you of a high vibrational frequency. No unconsciousness, no negativity, no discord or violence can enter that field and survive, just as darkness cannot survive in the presence of light.”

A regular habit of prayer and meditation can help slow the brain down to bring awareness into the present moment.  If we live in the present we allow life and all it’s changes to occur while we remain in equanimity.  Acknowledging the hurt, the grief, the anger, …, THE FEELINGS, and allowing them to flow through your body, reduces their energy.

Mindfulness practices have been shown to have dramatically healthful benefits to those who practice this.

Keeping an open heart while going through painful events can be difficult.

But if we are to grow and learn through these challenging times, it is exactly what we must do.
