Surviving Mercury Retrograde with Ease: How to Thrive During the Chaos

Is it fear that is stopping you? If you release fear and doubt will that make it easier? If you say, “I release fear and doubt”, how do you feel now? Or do you just need clarification from Spirit? Maybe ask them for a sign to help you move forward. Magic doesn’t create fear, it exposes it. So, as you evolve, fear may arise. Self- analysis helps to uncover it, and then release it. Sit and visualise the card, Open Door, it is luminous and bright. There is a dolphin waiting which is a sign of balance and play and maybe a little bit of curiosity for what is to come.

Sometimes the conditions are not to your benefit to move forward. Waiting may be a lesson in patience. Instead of thinking constantly about the situations you’ve asked about, have a brain time-out and just be. Acceptance of what is. You are your best crystal ball. Your gut feeling or intuitive vibe shows you when to stop, and when to go. On top of that you have Spirit, operating the stop lights.

Visualise the picture on the card and say to Spirit: “I now raise my hands and open them to you, as I let go of control of this situation for my highest good, so you may manifest the best outcome for my highest good”. Once you have put the situation you’re querying about up to Spirit, then let it go. You can do this by visualisation, or you can write it down on a piece of paper and then burn it. But you must let your attachment to it go to Spirit, to manifest it. Let go of all worries and fears to Spirit.

When working with Spirit, set up good boundaries. Start with, “Yes Spirit, I am open now”. When you’re finished your readings or spiritual work, say, “Thank you, spirit I am closing now”. In the morning in the shower, I ask El Moyra an Ascended Master to please shield me. You can also ask Spirit to put you into a glass box, front, back, sides, top, bottom, open to spirit. Ask Archangel Michael to put white light around you. I always put white light around my car. Try different ways of protection until you find the one that feels right for you, and build that protection muscle up. Being empathic and intuitive can be more pleasant if you are regulating what you feel from everybody else.

We get caught up in wanting

a particular person, even though the feelings we have in this situation may not be the correct sort of feelings we’re after. Soul Mates and Twin flames can be our biggest teachers. We have many soul mates; they’ve been in our lives many times before. It’s like déjà vu when we connect again. They will have lessons for us, or be really good friends. Twin flames are the other half of us. The most important thing for any relationship is self-love. Having a balanced life with good boundaries, not needing someone else, but happy to have someone special in your life. Law of attraction will mirror what you are. Find you first, please. Call upon Spirit to bring in your soul family.

For the sale of your house, put red flowers at the front door. Clear negative energy by opening all doors and windows to let the Chi energy flow. Ask Archangel Michael to clear all negative energy. Release your attachment to the house and objects. Start looking at new areas, and ask Spirit to guide you to the most ideal place to live, for your highest good. Renting with people is a perfect way to get you back on track financially. Ask Spirit to help find a perfect rental for your highest good. Your outside area/garden is just as important as the inside, make sure dead plants and flowers are removed; we want to give the area, a feeling of growth.

Return to your Sacred Place, either physically or spiritually. It may be your place of birth, or just a happy place you go to that brings clarity for you. No matter what, or where that is, you need to connect to it. I call it back to basics. Go home, find your roots. Guided meditations can help you return to a special place where all is calm and balanced.

Remember this is just guidance, I caution you to seek medical advice if needed. There are many different modalities and natural remedies you can try from reflexology, massage, naturopathic, iridology, Reiki or Theta healing and many, many, more. Read books dedicated to healing your life, like Louise Hay “You can heal your life”. There is a chapter dedicated to your body, with probable causes and affirmations that can help release that particular block. Call upon Archangel Raphael’s green healing light to enter your body where you need it the most. Your body is your temple, so please treat it as such. The body achieves what the mind believes.

At any point, you can ask Spirit to bolster your trust in them. Sit in prayer, ask or write to Source and ask for Spirit to light your way and give you undeniable, indisputable, obvious verification that they’re walking beside you.When you lack trust, I recommend that you look at why. What was your expectation? What are your issues around not trusting? You are making your own decisions, and moving forward, why not do it with Spirit’s help? They love you unconditionally.

Affirm to your children at a young age, that they are going to live a blessed life, and let the belief set in. Self-love is the starting point, it can alter generations. Boundaries can expose children to the idea of balancing giving and receiving, and giving to self before helping others. You can find courses to help you in your self-discovery. Having a healthy view of yourself and self- analysis really helps. Being honest with your children helps; we have to be careful not to transfer our fears onto our children.

The key is balance and quality time. Love and affection and guidance will help your child grow up to be well equipped emotionally as an adult. Remember for the short time you have them solely in your life, you are getting them ready for their working life, a partner and to be parents to the next generation. But before this happens you are also helping them become their authentic self. Help them find things they love. Introduce them to Spirit, God, angels, guides or source, whatever words you use. Let them discover their truth.

Close your eyes, and relax your jaw and shoulders. Breathe in through your nose, into your heart space, and out through your mouth. Repeat this process as many times as needed. You have now cleared your mind and are in the present moment. Where attention goes energy flows. Bring the energy back to you. Stay present in mind to be guided towards synchronicities; this will enable Spirit to put you where you need to be, at the right time and place. Divine timing!

Look  at  the  cards  that surround this Manifesting card. If upright, this will indicate which area you’re manifesting in. If reversed, align yourself with the other cards to show you, and point you in the right direction. You may need to revisit that area of your life. For advanced manifesting, (presuming you’ve worked on self-love and other areas of your life, you’re evolving nicely; and it is in the right time for you), you can tap into the elements around you to boost your manifesting power. For example, when there’s a storm coming, put the intent out to Spirit, to connect you into the manifesting energy of the approaching storm, sit quietly or meditate. Chant, write or affirm, “I am abundant” or affirm the topic you’re manifesting. There is power all around you that you can use. Animals, trees, storms, floods. I tapped into a river that was flooding and rushing, the energy I could feel from it was enormous. It is the same when we orgasm, the energy and power is a higher state of being. Being Abundant is your birth right.

In every moment or situation ask yourself, how is this making me feel? Start making a list of how you want to feel!

E.g. I am happy, I am peaceful, I am safe. Then think about what action you can do to make you feel these things. The law of attraction will mirror what we do, think and feel, and bring more of that. The secret to success is acting like you already have those things. “I am free” gives you the feeling of freedom in all things. You could say you want a particular thing, but what happens if you are stressed and worried how that will manifest? You need to manifest from the feelings you want to experience first. That is called living on purpose. Choose to feel alive and excited about your day. Stay present in the  moment  and  experience  amazing magical things. Sit looking at this card and feel the freedom of going with the flow of life.

There are many ways to play. You just need to find the one that is right for you. Stepping back and finding the joy in life will not stop you manifesting, but it will assist in manifesting for your highest, joyful self, to mirror the joyful and playful feelings. Most of the time when we stop playing, the energy becomes heavy. Trying to manifest in that energy is like the mud on the card, thick and gluggy. You might as well jump in and have some fun. Manifesting is best done from a joyful and unconditionally loving place.

This is a discovering phase, just be open. Start looking into spiritual practises; Yoga for breath work, meditation for stillness. Theta Healing can help to remove blocks and patterns and assist you in having a no limits approach to manifesting. Partnering with Spirit, Source, Universe, Guides, Angels or God, whichever feels comfortable to you, can magnify your manifesting energy. Be open and receptive!

Ask Spirit to take your financial worries to the Universe to sort out, then let it go. How many times has a bill arrived and the money just turns up? Thank Spirit when this happens. Be grateful for your bills, they are helping you live. Assemble an affirmation and gratitude list. Affirm, “I am prosperous, I am open and receptive to the abundance of the Universe.” Balance your giving and receiving of money, also balance how you spend and save. Show it respect and it will respect you. Use all available spiritual tools to help you move into a financial flow. Sit with this card, and imagine, yourself being surrounded by prosperity energy.

Tap into the energy of the next full moon, expect things to surface that were typically buried. There are many rituals and sacred practices. Put your crystals and cards outside to be energised and cleansed by the moon, have a full moon bath yourself. Write a letter to Spirit with a list of what you’d like to release’, and throw the letter into a fire, letting the smoke waft up to the moon. Or, simply put the intent out to Spirit and Earth Mother Gaia to connect you to the energy of the moon and let it help you for the highest good.

Make a list in present tense. I am grateful for …………………. with arms wide open. Be thankful for every experience, make it a daily practise. Complete a gratitude list starting from small things up to big things. Tell your partner or children 5 things each day that you’re grateful to them for. Start with small things, power, water, food, and work up to family and friends. Always be thankful and appreciate Spirit’s help.

Spend some time daydreaming about your goals and desires. Connect with nature and Sprit asking them to come into your dreams to help you. Spirit comes to us in our dreams to heal and teach us, but, you must be open to this. To help with your dreams, you can get a dream catcher and/or crystals. Listen to a guided meditation to help you visualise what cannot be seen.

The only person that can help you with an addiction is yourself. This stems from low self-esteem. The repeating patterns may be from this life or past lives. The first thing is to admit to yourself that you have a problem. Then my suggestion is to seek professional help. Addiction is a short term five-minute adrenalin rush. We need to be in balance for the long term. A positive sustainable replacement for the adrenalin rush of addiction is balanced with the use of creativity in all its forms. Call upon Archangel Raphael to assist you with healing your addictions. Or source a Theta Healer in your area to help you remove all blocks and patterns, in all directions of time.

Start with de-cluttering your home and your workspace. Start detoxifying your mind, body and soul. Ask yourself in each situation, “How does this make me feel?” To have more positive experiences, you need to be around more positive things. Find what you love and do more of that. When we manifest, we need to elevate our vibration so law of attraction can mirror us. 

Visualise, or go to the river bank, and on a piece of paper write down what no longer serves you and what you need to release. Put the intent out to Spirit to release what is not for your highest good, seen or unseen. Imagine yourself as the woman on the card, supported by Spirit and Earth Mother Gaia. Release into the water such things as behaviours, situations, people, fear and doubt, regret, expectations and negative thoughts about yourself. Then let the ideas and stories be carried away by the water towards the luminous glow of Source light.

Stillness and alone time is needed. Practise your breathing and stop trying to move things forward. Do something totally opposite. Every time the thought comes into your head about the situation you have asked about, let it drop away. Most of the time we just need to tweak the details and wait for divine timing. A closed door is nothing to fear. You have everything to gain by not trying to force the door open.

Write a letter. The aim is to forgive yourself and/or others. Think back to when the happiest time of your life was, then move forward from there. Write a forgiveness letter. E.g. At [age] said……. and did    to me. It made me feel ashamed and hurt, angry and afraid. I now release to Spirit all the pain and emotions I felt and I forgive the person and free myself from this. A perfect example of forgiveness is the ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness known as Ho’oponopono (“I am sorry, please forgive me, I thank you and I love you”). There are many free Ho’oponopono songs on YouTube. Repeating these words will help retrain the brain and transform these energies into pure love.

Do you feel like you’re swimming against the tide? Looking at different directions and not knowing which one to take? Ask Spirit, God, Source, Guides or your Angels for their help. Whatever your belief, you can ask for help. Remove the belief that you need to do everything yourself in all directions of time. We were given free will to make decisions for ourselves, wouldn’t it be pertinent to ask Source energy to act on our behalf?

 Spend time looking at the Shine card, and feel the energy that is given to whoever needs it. Start thinking about, or write a list, detailing your qualifications and experiences that would benefit a collective of people. Guaranteed, what you have experienced, others have also. The sacred symbol of the Merkaba is a tool that assists you to reach your full potential. There are many guided meditations that can help you activate your Merkaba.

Your Kua number shows you the best direction for all areas of your life. To find your personal success direction, use one of the online Kua number calculators. Clear clutter from your life, again this creates stale and stagnant Chi. Open all windows and doors to get energy moving. Feng Shui looks at sharp edges pointing negatively towards you as a no-no. There are cures and things you can do to alter this. Find a Feng Shui consultant in your area. There are many things you can do, I have been reading and following Feng Shui author, Lillian Too since my 20’s.

Sit quietly under the New Moon, and write a list of the things you want to bring into fruition. Always saying, I am and I have, rather than I want. I want will hold it back, I have means I already have it. For example, “I am prosperous” or “I have a wonderful partner”. Think about feelings you want to feel. For example, “I am happy”, “I am healthy”, “I feel vibrant and fit” “My body is at its natural healthy state”. Remember each organ and part of your body has a soul, so send it love. No Limits with your manifesting.

You have done all that you can possibly do. Everything up until this point has seemed to flow really well. Ask source for verification, or even meditate on the hold-up being due to Spirit putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Ask if there’s any action step you can take to help. Like the jigsaw on the card, you can see that all your dreams and desires can come together, piece by piece.

Your childhood has many answers. What did you love to do? Which things did you enjoy? Were you creative? What hobbies made you smile? Did you play sport; can you actively participate in that club in some aspect? Go back to basics, join a group or take a course. Follow your heart, renew your passion for life! Try something different. As we age our interests change and grow. Start looking at what is available in your area.

I would like you to think about what you are passionate about. Are you doing your life purpose job, or just coasting along? Sit with Spirit and think about what you long to do. We talk about the void inside and how it cannot be filled from external circumstances, and how we need to get in touch with ourselves internally. Our working life plays a part in this as well. I understand life gets in the way and we have to pay bills and survive. But, you also have to follow your chosen path; why you are here, your life purpose. Getting in touch with things you love is the starter. Finding what you are passionate about is the key. We are never too old to learn new things. Balance work and play, as much as you can.

No Step Forward? Or too many steps to see what will be your next step? Then do nothing, stop thinking about it. Have a couple of days of R & R, and don’t think about the future. Bring your thoughts back to now, meditate, have some quiet alone time and just be. This card is like a wild card. At the end of the reading, if you still want to know the best course of action, leave this card out. Ask spirit. “What is my next step”? Shuffle the cards again, and pull another card. This card will give you guidance on your next step.

Work on yourself holistically – mind, body and soul. Rest your mind, remove toxins. Look after yourself as if you were one of your own children, like you are one of Spirit’s children. Engage your soul. Find your passion. Breathe, just be you. Give to yourself. Look in the mirror and see the light that’s within you, that can be made brighter. Love yourself unconditionally. Sit with the card, breathe into your heart space and meditate on the green heart, bringing the bright green light into your being.

Research Sacred Symbols, look into the area of life you need the most help with manifestation; whether it is abundance in all things, love, health, prosperity etc. that you need help in. There are symbols to add power to what feeling you want to have. Sit looking at the symbol of your choice and ask Spirit to activate it, or to help you connect and meditate with it. Use any and all forms you can to manifest with.

Prepare your alter with sacred objects you’ve found. Cleanse your area by lighting a candle, and asking Archangel Michael to clear all negativity. The candle colour you use depends on your motivation for that particular ritual. Research will help you choose your candle colours. E.g. Green candles represent abundance or healing. Put the intent out to connect to Spirit, Earth Mother Gaia, and the Universe. This opens your ritual. Perform your ritual for the outcome that you desire. Ground yourself at the conclusion of your ritual, thank those you’ve called upon, and close your space.

Spend time in meditation. If it’s drumming that interests you, listen to a drumming meditation, also try listening to different Indian instruments until you find something that resonates with you. Connect with nature alone. The journey internally is a solitary thing to do, because it‘s about you. The journey or vision quest is yours alone; invoke the spirits of old to tap you into your vision for this life. Find a mentor to support your journey. Put the intent out to Spirit to connect you to your animal guides. Find a meditation that connects you to your guides. You probably already know what animals are your guides, as you’re normally drawn to them from the beginning of your life.

 If the situation you’re querying is spiritual, and you’re starting to do card readings, you’ll know from the conversational exchanges you’re having with the client whether you’ve resonated with them or not. If you’re speaking about a topic that you’re passionate about, ask Spirit to help give you the words and support. You need to stand up and be successful. The first thing to do is say, “I release fear and doubt”. When you’re living your life purpose, you’ll know this is your passion, and you will follow that course, so stick with it. Do more courses if you need, but at some point, you have to own your knowledge.

Put your intent out to spirit to help you concoct and blend the mixture for a solid foundation. Check all areas are established enough for forward movement. Have you cleared the clutter? Have you done your housework and homework? Check all paper work and contracts carefully. Make sure all bills are paid and a budget is worked out. Start with the Self-Love card, are you practising loving yourself?

Try sitting with your eyes closed, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Ask for proof to show you confirmation Spirit is with you. Then stay present, and be open to be shown verification. Or maybe just ask for a specific signal. Sit with the card looking into the Flower of Life ancient design, breathe into it and ask Source to connect you to all there is. Don’t give up just before the miracle, Spirit has your back.

Where are you on your spiritual journey? If you’re at the beginning, and seeking help, ask your friends if they know of a reputable spiritual teacher in your area. If you’re already on your journey, look for new modalities, or spiritual books that can help you. Decide what interests you. See what social media posts resonate with you. Ask Spirit to show you what you need to learn. Go to the new age section of a library, and borrow anything you’re guided to. Join meditation groups or spiritual circles. One thing I say at the beginning of my workshops, “On conclusion of this workshop please forget everything I have said. Your subconscious will retain what it needs to, and the knowledge will then integrate and morph into what it needs to be for you”. Spirit doesn’t need another me! The Universe needs you, so that the people that resonate with you, will hear what you have to say.

Do things that help you feel lighter and alive. Positive experiences like laughter, singing, dancing, meditation, swimming in the ocean. Take a long bath, sit in nature, go for a walk and get those endorphins going. In situations when people are draining you, walk away and say, “I give back to you that is yours with love and light, and I take back from you that is mine with love and light”. Keeping your energy and staying in the now in your mind set, will keep the energy for you, rather than sending thoughts and your energy off with someone else. Sometimes when we help people we leave shards of ourselves with them. When grounding, ask that all the bits of you are returned to balance your mind, body and soul. Go somewhere you’ve never been before, and let the curious child you once were out and about.
