WHAT’S NEW? Mercury Retrograde is Behind Us!
Breathe easy lovelies! You made it! Did you find that you ran into a lot of hurdles the last few weeks? Maybe emails not sending, technical difficulties, conflicts?
Mercury went retrograde on March 5th. This can bring with it drama, miscommunications, travel delays and this time it was in Pisces so the waterworks may have been flowing. i.e. did anyone feel unusually emotional?
Pisces being here is always calling on you to focus your imagination, enhance emotional connections and communications and inspire creativity. But wow does it do it with a bang! It forces change.
I for one am taking a look at what changed throughout this retrogade, there may have been loss ( I lost all my emails!) but there is always a significance to this period which may not always be visible immediately.
I encourage you to take a look at the last few weeks and just make note if at the moment it just seems like it was just a mess.
The great news! Its over, its time to move on and flourish into Spring!
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Blessings & love, Sheri

OUR FEATURED ARTICLE
DEALING WITH OURSELVES IN DIFFICULT TIMES
When we find ourselves faced with economic difficulties, illness, stress and intense interpersonal challenges – our default as a society is to qualify these as bad. The result of this judgment is suffering. If we are already dealing with difficult situations, compounding that challenge with judgment only makes the situation worse. Now, not only are we dealing with a challenge, but we are compounding that by reacting emotionally to it. If the situation was not tiring enough – the emotional wear-and-tear can put us right over the edge.
So what can we do about this? Awareness is always the way – learning to identify our particular way of being in stressful times is important. Once we can see our doings and patterned behaviors to stress, we can change them. I am going to share several different patterns with you and see if you can see yourself in the following examples.
Depression: There are those of us who lean towards depression on and off our whole lives. We are the people who feel helpless, hopeless, inadequate, sad and downhearted when things seem overwhelming to us. Our judgments can look like this: I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this mess, I can’t change anything to make things better, I’ve worked so hard and now look where I am, I don’t have the resources to reinvent my way out of this, My life is going downhill and there is no way out, There is no one to help me, I’m so stupid to be in this mess, etc.
Anxiety: For those of us who are big worriers, anxiety is a life-long companion. We are the people who are constantly second guessing life, creating tragic scenarios in our minds, none of which have happy endings! We imagine the worst will unfold and we cannot stop our minds from proposing tales of impending woe. Often we become immobilized by our thought-forms which are so over-the-top. Our judgments often sound like this: The housing market is yet to crash and my house will be worth nothing, The government’s economic structure is going to collapse and we will be doomed, All my stocks are going to be worth nothing, I’ll never have enough funds to retire, I can’t figure out the right choice in this situation, etc.
Anger: Let’s not forget those of us who are moody and irritable when the going gets rough. We are the people who have no patience for long drawn out stressful situations and we often project those feelings out onto others. Our judgments can mimic these thoughts: Our government is filled with idiots that are ruining my life, The banking industry should be annihilated, Investment firms and stock managers should be shot. I’d love to blow up my ex-boss’s car after firing me after all these years, etc.
When you have these kinds of “negative” judgments and then suffer the emotional reactions to them, you are actually affecting your brain chemistry – further supporting the tendency to continue your current patterning. The shift in your brain function can also steal your clarity making it more difficult to see your way out of whatever situation you are currently in. The key is to let go of what you cannot change and take immediate and pro-active action to shift what you can.
Making sure you take the time to meditate, exercise or to do anything that brings you joy and peace is critical in these times. I encourage you to be honest and recognize your patterns and see if there is anything you can do to stop your negative thinking. Try focusing on gratitude where you can find it, volunteering, helping others worse off than yourself, and remember: keep your heart open at all times!
With All my love & blessings. Sheri Rosenthal
