Mercury Retrograde - A Time To Lean In

It’s time to lean in. Mercury Retrograde is here and it signals a time to slow down and go inward, and listen. I love the symbol of mercury - with it’s little antenna receiving information and grounding into earth.

The yang expression of Mercury to me feels like picking up ideas and information from the outer world - the yin version is tuning in and being receptive to our inner space and inner landscape. Being quiet enough to listen, to receive.
This is a beautiful time for meditation.
For self awareness.
For metacognition.
What messages am I missing because I’m going too fast?
What lessons are being shown to me?
Where am I running on my subconscious life script and not really in the drivers seat?
Often when we speed through life or don’t take enough time to be conscious of things these scripts can take over.
In a world that applauds better faster more, Mercury Rx is breath of fresh air to slow down, and tune in deeply.
What I’ve found is that when we go against these natural energy flows - life feels hard.
When we work WITH these energies life feels with us, supportive and expansive.
It’s out choice.

As Mercury is retrograding in Taurus there could be a vibe of finding inner beauty and groundedness. Where are we been stubborn in our relationships or where are we not luxuriating in the simple pleasures of life. As this Mercury Rx is where the eclipses are happening it’s a double opportunity to excavate this aspect of our life.
Happy Mercury Retrograde season and if you’re feeling the call to deep go within and want a whole lot of guidance and support check out my Level 1 Meditation Course.
