Mercury Retrograde Post-Shadow
This morning, I went to a pharmacy clinic to see an MD and get a small wound checked. The MD tried to sell me a cream for stitches! The cream box had a picture of a woman with huge stitches right across her entire face! I was shocked! Obviously the small cream tube had a high price tag of AED 200. So that explains why she recommended the product in the first place.
When I shared with her that I prefer to use skincare products that are vegan and non-toxic, she asked: “Are you vegan?” – which is hilarious because I’m not but I always use natural skincare products that are vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free. I explained to her all of this and that I have sensitive skin that reacts badly to any chemicals or other irritants.
I ended up getting a natural scar ointment that I’m familiar with and simply ignored her prescription.
When I took the elevator in my building to my floor, there was a young boy (not a toddler) constantly ringing the bell of his bicycle and it made a very loud sound that could potentially damage anyone’s ear.
I remembered a recent post on X by someone saying that we should avoid confrontation in this Mercury Retrograde season. I think she was absolutely right. Because what’s happening is incredibly crazy and so abnormal. LOL.
When I finally reached my place after the misaligned pharmacy clinic encounter and the bicycle-bell boy incident, I realized that we’re still in the post-shadow phase and that things are not back to normal yet.
How did this Mercury Retrograde go for you?
Do you Feel Frustrated that your Manifesting isn’t Working?
What’s interesting about manifestation is what works in other areas of our life, doesn’t apply to using the law of attraction to manifest love.
While we might be taking more action and being in our masculine energy to reach career goals, this kind of energy or way of being doesn’t help when manifesting love.
I remember a statement from a random woman in a Facebook group that I was part of a couple of years ago. She wrote: “Let him find you.”
At that time, I truly couldn’t see how her words could make sense. I simply didn’t agree with her perspective of me allowing love to find me and to be still. How on earth will he find me? I’m a real introvert now?!
Fast forward many years later and now her words finally resonate with me.
The irony is that when we’re feeling calm, grounded and relaxed, we’re living from alignment.
What this means is that our energy is a match to attracting the love that we desire.
Because when we’re chasing or looking, we are actually creating blocks and aren’t living from flow.
If your’e a type A personality, like me, then you will find this concept hard to understand and even more challenging to apply.
If you’re a hyper-independent woman, like me, then you will need to practice being in this soft, feminine energy of ease and flow.
I think what happens after a long time of searching for love and not manifesting it, is that you start to realize that you can’t control the process. And that’s when the breakthrough happens!
That’s the moment you start to live from a more peaceful and calm energy. You stop looking or chasing and you start simply living and being in flow.
What does Trusting the Process Really Mean?
Now you might think that trusting the manifestation process and being in flow means doing nothing.
I explained in this blog post what the real meaning of trust when manifesting is. You can read that story here.
What trust means is that you trust that you have all the spiritual messages that you need for this present moment. And living from a soft, feminine energy doesn’t mean doing nothing to get closer to manifesting.
You can live from a calm, grounded, relaxed energy and still take some steps towards manifesting your person.
Instead of looking or searching for your person, maybe you’re being guided to move states, cities or countries.
Being still and trusting the process can also mean that you’re doing nothing. I think it all depends on what spiritual message you’re getting from the Universe.
What Manifestation Stage are you in?
To support you better in your manifestation process, I want to know what stage of manifesting are you in?
Are you still writing your soulmate wish list? Are you doing the healing work? Are you still building your self-esteem? Are you in the phase of feeling frustrated that your manifestation isn’t working?
Let me know in the comments which stage of manifesting you’re in and I can write the next blog post to support you!
Love,
Leela
