A lot of people I have met absolutely dread Mercury Retrograde. Nothing happens in the universe that isn’t for our highest good, so I asked the guides to teach us how Mercury Retrograde can benefit us and they suggested this topic. Let’s see what the guides have to teach us about it.
Who will assist us today? Seraphim, my angelic guides who specialize in quantum leaps, Metatron, an angel of alchemical mastery, and Xavier, my galactic angels who specialize in creator energy, will assist us today. Beneath the question in italics is exactly what I hear from the guides, verbatim.
Update: The article the guides are referencing in this channeled message is, How our Judgements Breed Rigidity.
What is the purpose of Mercury Retrograde?
Seraphim: Many people are needlessly afraid of an exquisite time of the year. Mercury Retrograde is extremely beneficial for humans because it is a potent time to release all the energy that no longer serves you. We are going to repeat that because it is very important. Mercury Retrograde is a potent time to make a quantum leap in your releases. There are no other times in the year more suited to releases than Mercury Retrograde. We, as specialists in quantum leaps, think Mercury Retrograde should be celebrated not reviled.
Why is releasing so important? Clearing out your energy and integrating your soul fragmentation is important because it makes you a more potent manifestor. It also makes it such that you feel lighter in your being, more joyful, more peaceful, and more neutral more of the time. We think that instead of fearing Mercury Retrograde that humans should use it for their highest good and their highest clearing.
How can humans use Mercury Retrograde for their highest clearing?
Metatron: The first thing humans need to stop doing is to stop fearing it. When you worry, you are engaging the universe to show you what you don’t want. Remember that where attention goes, energy goes. Nonetheless, we do understand why you fear it. It can be discombobulating, for example, to have your car crash during Mercury Retrograde. Or have your cell phone die. Or have a contractual matter go sideways in a way you didn’t expect.
What we want to teach you today is: do you know why these things happen during Mercury Retrograde? It happens because there is a soul fragmentation that is ready to be integrated and there is one aspect of the soul lesson for which you are unaware and resistant to that awareness. These things happen because the universe needs you to notice what you’re noticing in the hopes that when you are stopped or delayed, that you will reflect and become aware to that aspect of your soul lesson that will integrate the soul fragmentation so that you can finally graduate from your soul lesson.
So, how can you be more aware of what needs to clear out of your life so that the universe doesn’t have to go to such extreme measures to make you aware. Set the intention to want to be aware of what you need to be aware of to meet your soul lessons and set the intention to release your resistance to your soul lessons. You see, the universe usually wants to get your attention when you are resistant. That is, when you are holding on to belief systems that are inherently contracting your soul, but you refuse to do anything about it. So, move past your resistance and your unawareness and you won’t have to fear the universe going to extreme measures to make you aware.
If we knew a belief was harmful, we wouldn’t do it. So, on some level we have bought in to the belief system and don’t think it’s harmful. We may even feel pride for having the belief. Can you give us some tips on how we can identify these elusive belief systems that contracts our soul and are energetically harmful to us?
Xavier: Good. This is the question we are awaiting. Elsewhere on this website, we speak of judgements and how they can be mirrors to your own soul fragmentation, your own soul lessons. We highly encourage you to read that article, for examining one’s judgements can often be a very good way to become aware of what you have previously not been aware of.
Beyond examining your judgements, here are some ways to tell that your belief system is contracting you. The most common that we see on the Earth plane is that the person feels pride initially, then guilt sets in. This is an indication that the person must reflect a bit deeper on why they feel guilt after feeling pride. When one feels guilt, there is a soul fragmentation that needs to be integrated. The second most common thing that we see on the Earth plane is that humans often feel pride, but that pride does not come from a humble place. I bested that person who put me down in the past. That person who has made me feel bad for who I am is suffering, ha! So, these are instances of pride, but that pride does not come from a neutral space. In these instances, there is a soul fragmentation. People often miss that these are types of judgements, so we highlight them here.
Another way to tell what you are unaware of is to be cognizant of what thoughts you had immediately before something undesirable happens. What thoughts did you have before your cellphone fell into the water? What judgements were occurring in your brain before you had that fender bender? What thoughts did you have before you signed that contract that went sideways? Did you, perhaps, ignore a gut feeling that it wasn’t right action nor right timing? Did you push it even though you knew it wasn’t right timing? Reflect on your thoughts and actions right before that undesirable thing occurred and you will get a sense of what it is you are unaware of.
Sometimes, things happen so fast that we don’t remember exactly. Is there something we can do after the undesirable event that would make us aware?
Xavier: Yes, and this a good thing to reflect on. So, it is to tune in to the aspect of self that is upset that the event occurred. You see, unless there is a soul fragmentation, you would not think the event was undesirable, you won’t, perhaps, be happy that it occurred, but if you were fully integrated, you will simply accept neutrally that what occured occured because it did. If you are upset that an event occurred, then it is to tune in to what aspect of self is upset. Work with this one who cannot handle this event happening. As you integrate this soul fragmentation, pointedly ask them, “What do you need me to be aware of that I am not already aware of?” “What do you need me to know that I haven’t, in the past, been receptive?” “What do you need from me to feel peaceful about what just occurred?” They will tell you. Trust what comes.
Is there anything we can do to preempt our releases during Mercury Retrograde? Like, can we make a list of what we need to clear? If we do this, does this assist us?
Seraphim: Setting intentions of what you need to clear is always a good idea for when you write it down, the universe instantly conspires in your favor to make it so. This is true for intentions of what to clear and it is also true of setting intentions of what you want to manifest. You see, when you write things down you are engaging the body and the body doesn’t lie. So, when you engage the body when making intentions by writing them down, you begin to ground that intention into your body and your energetic field begins to conspire to make the clearing so. So, yes, it is a good idea to make a list of what you need to clear and it accelerates your clearing.
There is an additional benefit to writing things down. Remember that we said the body doesn’t lie. It is actually more accurate to say that the body knows. The body knows. The body knows. The body knows. The personality may be unaware of these matters that need to clear for their highest good, but the body knows. So, if you make a habit of writing things down, you will find that you will get to clarity much faster because if the body wishes to clear a soul fragmentation so it can feel lighter, the body will guide you to that knowing. Practice makes perfect, so it is to begin to reflect on how you felt when you set those intentions. How did you feel in the body? As you become more discerning about how your body reacts when it encounters truth, you will become more advanced in your discerning and in your ability to become aware. This is a good question and we wish to honor the channel for bringing it up.
This is a good place to close this post. Any last messages?
Metatron: Ask us for help. Ask us for assistance. Many humans go out and rough it on their own. Resistance is a difficult soul lesson to overcome. Why do you think the universe goes to such great lengths to get your attention? So, rather than waiting for a triggering even to occur, why not ask us? Ask. Ask. Ask. Even if you cannot hear us directly, like this channel, we are responding to you. Notice what you are noticing in your daily lives. We are responding to you. Always. Examine your thoughts. Reflect on what you need to clear. Discern what the body is telling you. These are all ways that you can make Mercury Retrograde work for you and not against you. And so it is.
Thank you for your energy!
Xavier: It has already been said to call on our energies, but it cannot be said enough that guides are standing by to assist you. Open yourself up to our guidance and it will be so. And so it is.
