Instant Manifestation

It’s lucky for us we have mercury retrogrades three or four times a year.

Many people would say that’s not so true!
First off, for those unfamiliar, a Mercury Retrograde occurs when the planet Mercury will slow down and appear to reverse in its direction.
Mercury affects all communications, meaning conversations, telephones calls, cell phones, computers, television, mail, radio etc….
The really funny thing about Mercury Retrograde is that even though they occur on certain dates, such as this current retrograde began April 17, 2010 and will continue until May 11, 2010, they seem to occur before and after the dates.

I have a theory about that.

Interesting to note, in the “before” phase as Mercury approaches its retrograde position, it begins to present hints that communication conflicts are about to occur.

An example:
I was preparing some materials for a print project, knowing full well the retrograde was coming. Rather than focusing on the negative, I continued with the project figuring there will be plenty of time before the retrograde was in full bloom.

I was wrong!
The emails went well enough until 6 days before the official beginning of Mercury Retrograde. I received an email of conflict regarding the entire project! Rather than pursue it any further, I let the project go, and will reassess it at a later date. Reason being, the conflict will perpetuate again in different ways. It would be such a waste of energy knowing full well communications will resume in a less confusing way in a matter of a few weeks. So, I learn and let go.

Believe it or not Mercury Retrograde has its upside! Yup. When Mercury Retrograde is in full bloom because communications can be challenged, some sense can come in the confusion!
Like for example, someone recently was reassigned to a new section of their office. While the assignment was good, she wondered to herself how in the world this will work out with everyone knowing everyone, except her. Imagine her surprise within seconds of thinking that, a guy approached her and asked her to participate in the group lottery purchases!
That’s pretty good instant manifestation, if you ask me.
Why did that happen? Well, it’s about not being connected in much of a way to all the others, it’s more in her thinking that one thought which connected and like a piece of paper in the wind it floated and landed on that guy who came directly to her…
Wouldn’t it be great if all of our requests and desires were answered that quickly?

I have another example that happens best during a retrograde.
I have a favorite health food store I visit once in a while. I mentally asked for a parking place in the front of the store because if you park in the back or the side, it’s likely you’ll have to go around the block to come back on the street-a big inconvenience. By the time I got there a vacant space was available for my parking convenience-right in front! Non-Retrograde periods my instant manifestation requires revisiting that thought process and I think I already have that space reserved, and likely it’ll be there!
Being it is a Mercury Retrograde period, I pay attention to all the “signs” during the process, for the extra communications that arrive unexpectedly and unpredictably.
(Pay close attention to those signs, for they will be more telling during a retrograde than any other periods.)
Some people say during a Mercury Retrograde you should slow down, review, and start no new projects.

Recently, I made the decision to devote my time to doing readings, writing my book and blogging.
Funny thing, though. Out of the blue someone sent 2 versions of “Psych” to me in the mail…….
Someone I didn’t know and the DVD’s weren’t intended to be sent to me. It was amazing that I made a career addition before the retrograde and it followed with a retrograde confirmation of my shift! Another instant manifestation!

It’s uncanny how a Mercury Retrograde can affect the power of thought or a communication so strongly it reaches out and touches your thinking! Not meaning to coin a phrase it’s astronomical! …..Simply astronomical!
