It’s nearly here again. In the days leading up to when Mercury is retrograde August 2, 2011 what aspects of this influence do you resonate with – the potential tragedy of it all or the potential? Through the lens of energy healing, we are all vibrating fields of energy and the laws of physics apply. What we resonate with is what we experience in our reality. To avoid the worst of Mercury retrograde being mindful of your thoughts and keeping them proactive, patient and positive will pay off.
Take a moment right now and reflect on what your thoughts and reactions are about Mercury Retrograde? Are you anxious or fearing that something bad will happen? Are you feeling the planetary winds slowing things down, but pushing ahead with an over-extended work schedule just the same? Or are you one of those going with the flow, taking time out for reflection, or re-alignment?
Being aligned with Mercury retrograde is like getting ready for another season pulling out summer clothes and putting away the winter ones. The Mercury retrograde ‘season’ is not as visible as the climatic ones, it affects, however can trigger many things in our psyche that need changing, resolving or repairing. If we are not up for the transformation we can accumulate feelings of being victimized and anticipate the next retrograde with resentment, anxiety and other typical Mercury retrograde fears.
However, if we embrace the energy that it is, we align with natures gift to put things in order, restore our batteries and recharge. We recycle to start the next phase with more energy, clarity, focus and drive to achieve our potential.
Pay attention to the “flavor” of the Mercury Retrograde period as it changes depending on what part of the year it is in. Julie Simmons writes about these in a post for each retrograde ( See the one for Aug 2)

Decision making wisdom throughout Mercury retrograde.
To begin with here is a focus of consciousness or wisdom I muscle checked from the Resonance Repatterning system. Checking the consciousness of the public seeking information on Mercury retrograde and what would be most helpful to all concerned I found this statement:
Focus of consciousness for this Mercury Retrograde:
“I listen carefully, reflect on what I hear and make meaningful and thoughtful connections so the decision-making process is smooth, efficient, interesting and empowering. “
Take a Pause Then Decide
Yes I know it makes perfect sense. After all astrologers will tell you to slow down, post pone the big-ticket decisions, don’t start or initiate anything new unless in the planning phases only. Still life goes on. Your work needs accomplishing and decisions do need to be make. When you think about it every waking moments puts us at a point of choice where a decision must be made. The focus of consciousness statement above gives us a strategy. Go ahead and make those choices but help yourself by liberally using a pause button. Listen extensively, ask questions, be curious and explore the answers thoroughly before you decide. This will be easy enough for analytic people who cannot be tied to one option. Mercury retrograde will seem like a great time.
For the bottom-liners, those of you who like to get to the point (oops –should have mentioned this earlier in the discussion!) – listening carefully, reflecting and asking questions may be a challenge.
Having to make decisions during MRx can trigger any poor decision-making patterns that no longer serves you. This is where healing sessions, such as the
Aligned for Mercury Retrograde online session(for a short video) that Julie and I offer, can actually help during a Mercury retrograde. By looking at the patterns underlying our decision-making and healing them we can resonate with our Mercury Retrograde Focus of Consciousness aligning with the best of this astrological period.
