What is the best advice to handle Mercury Retrograde to receive more positive rather than negative experiences during this time?

How to handle Mercury Retrograde to receive more positive rather than negative experiences during this time

Tricia Gunberg, Intuitive Healer, Wellness Warrior, Author

Well, that’s the rub. When we are unable to rid ourselves of what no longer serves us, along comes the energy of the Universe to help!

This ‘help’ or ‘adjustments, could very well feel negative. (I allowed my teen pregnancy to haunt me and bring me down for 30 years so I have deep understanding.) Know that it is the way we think about what happens not the actual event.

Eckhart teaches us not to resist the present moment, as does Abraham Hicks. I teach people not to resist who they are, to say YES to who they are, in fact.

Mercury in Retro is a time to:

RE-view

RE-wind

RE-lax

RE-consider

RE-work (our relationship with tech specifically)

So, how can YOU receive more positive than negative?

Please take time to do some of the ‘RE’ things listed. Add some Spring cleaning while you’re at it. Tell the Universe you are ready to release all that does not serve you with this symbolic gesture. Do some self-care by slugging off old skin with a dry brush (so relaxing too!) and so on. This is a general ‘reading’ as I know many people ask how to navigate Mercury in Retrograde. I could get more specific if I used your numerology. Your Life Path number, your Personal Year number and the numbers that repeat in your chart are your clues.

Since the retrograde in in Pieces, I have this to say:

Crap-on-a-cracker if emotions are difficult for you. I’m guessing if you are reading this post, it is an issue for you. Mercury is retro in Pieces ….. so it is about emotions! Here is another reason I think it is about emotions:

I saw someone carrying this book yesterday:

The old me would have high-fived 🤚the construction worker carrying the book. Who has time for feelings and emotional crap!? ‘Have a beer 🍺 and get over yourself’, the old me would have said.

The new me chuckled. (I’ve recorded something about it; Using emotions as gears in a car post) I laughed because my life has been so much better since I’ve ALLOWED my emotions to be expressed. This act of allowing transformed into me being able to OBSERVE my emotions. This is more advice drawn from Eckhart, he has the wisdom on this and when I first started listening to him it sounded like the Charlie Browns teacher speaking. I kept listening because I had an inner knowing that told me it was truth. After five years of listening, it makes sense to me now. Pun intended:

I highly recommend listening to the Narrated version by Eckhart himself.

Am I an expert? F*ck no. That baby business I spoke about, well, I placed him for adoption as I was only 16. Long story short, he is back in my life in the most beautiful way.

BUT ….I have not allowed myself to process all the emotions. I know this because his adopted mom gave me videos of him growing up and I can’t watch them without crying hysterically. I can’t get past the first 5 minutes. I still have emotional work to do and the thought of all that pain coming out is overwhelming, no matter how much joy surrounds it now. Having self-loathing and grief wound tightly for 33 years, …..letting loose is difficult.

Thank-you for this question. I will now RE-consider watching my son’s childhood videos so I can allow the grief of giving him up….typing that made tears well up…and ask myself what support I would need in order to do so. The bag of emotional bricks is just so so heavy.

Let this time be a friend to you.

Love and Light,

Tricia

Meditation is great but experience other ways too: golf by yourself, going fishing, or walking (no phone!). Make room and create awareness to increase the amount of time you are happy. Eliminate things that make you sad, angry or frustrated. (News, Social Media, People, Places, Activities)

#3 Observe your emotions.
Pay special attention to those that make you uncomfortable or you prefer not to have.  Honor them, make changes ( emotions are like gears in a car post)

#4 New Experiences!
Do something today that makes you nervous. It is important that you stretch yourself and shed light on yourself and get you out of your comfort zone.

I will be working on this for myself, doing my visualization exercise that Stephanie suggested and being more open to my wantings. The journey continues as we continue to learn how to Say YES to who you are to create MAGIK! I loved to hear from you, either here, via IM or on my Facebook page.

What's going on?

Whats Going On this week, June 18, 2017?

Repeated numbers, weird ‘symptoms’, gurus and Father’s Day.

As I began wondering what all these things have in common on this Father’s Day, my own father came to mind. He taught me many things but, mostly he encouraged my writing when I as a kid. I didn’t clearly hear this message from him until I was in my 40’s and not until 3 years after he left this earthly plain.

Ah ha!

The light bulb went on. I see the thread of all these things.

Repeated numbers.
Weird Symptoms.
Gurus Messages.
My dad.

First I will go into a bit more detail about each of the messages this week.

"3" intuitively interpreted by Tricia Gunberg. If you see this repeated number, your message is to creatively express yourself!

Repeated numbers:

I often see the question about repeated numbers. What does it mean to see 3 digit numbers, 111, 222, 333, 444, etc.? When I first noticed them in 2011 I was studying dream interpretation and looking for answers about life in general. I recall seeing 4:44 on the clock in my car and mentioned it to a friend. I believe that was the first time I heard Doreen Virtue being mentioned.

The repeated numbers come and go. The most noticeable being in 2013 when I 5:55 came to me several times a day for several days. I knew 5 meant change and I was not feeling well for several days but I didn’t understand I was more sick than I realized and needed to go to the doctor. I waited it out, didn’t honor myself and got so sick a trip to the ER was required. This is my interpretation of the repeated numbers and unique to me- not everyone who sees 555 is getting sick. Now when I see it I say, “Oh good change, I’m ready, I’m paying attention.” 

For a long time after I would go looking for the answers, trying to figure out the message of the repeated numbers. Each numerologist/intuitive/psychic having their own interpretation or they just repeating Doreen Virtues interpretation. Then I began to intuit my own interpretation. I’ve discovered repeated numbers in a numerology chart grabs my attention so applying so I pay special consideration to them for the reading I give.

333 Repeated numbers, Numerology by Tricia Gunberg

Currently, a day doesn’t go by without seeing a triple repeated number. Just yesterday 333 came up 3 times and the number 3 was in my daily tarot card with advice to meditate with 3 candles, 3 flowers and 3 incense sticks. The number 3, by the way, is creative expression and communication. More specifically for me, it means writing…just as my dad told me to do!

In short, repeated numbers is an indicator that you are paying attention, or being more mindful. You’ll find the meaning for yourself, allow the answers to come, getting quiet and knowing there is no need to force. To get a brief list of numerology for numbers 1-9 read my book. (only $3.99 as a Ebook.) "Say Yes to Who You Are to Create Fitness"

Weird Symptoms:
I share these with you for several reasons. One, as an empath I need to keep track of what's going on so I remember to ask “Is this mine?”, because most if the time it is not. Second, its a good way for me to do readings for myself, I have forever (2010 with Heal Yourself Louise Hay) been linking symptoms to old beliefs I can let go of. Lastly, maybe you have something weird going on and you can relate. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll reach out to me so I am not alone in my weirdness.

Tricia Gunberg- healing intuitive hands.

The symptoms I have been having and as well as odd cravings have me a bit baffled.  My intuitive abilities are ‘empathic’ meaning I get a feeling in my body which is a translation of what is going on in someone else. I in turn attempt to interpret the message. This is how I do my readings. Lately, I don’t even need to do the ceremonial ‘placing my hands over someone’, it just starts happening. Last month, an hour prior to an appointment I began having a headache.  This worried me as I work hard on not have any interference in my own body while doing readings. (Right down to planning when/what I eat, brush my teeth, shower, etc.) As the headache intensified I wondered if I needed to reschedule the client. The thought came to me, first as a question “Is this mine?” then as a statement, “This is not mine.” The headache began to subside. The headache was a message for my client- so glad I didn’t make a decision based on fear and cancel the appointment! 

Another new development is a new sensation in both my hands and feet. These occurrences have not gone without a witness, I might be to chicken to share them here if I hadn’t. I’d describe the sensation as heat. Heat from my hands is not new. Many of my client’s report feeling heat from my hands and I am aware of it as an empathic message during a reading. What is different now is the intensity of the heat and the fact that I am not in the process of doing a reading when this occurs. My feet have also just ‘turned on’, two people describing it as heat, another describing as a tingling sensation.

Now for the cravings. I’ve been craving cigarettes for about 8 months- but never indulging. I’ve been breathing in and out as if l were smoking has sorta helped. Then I got the craving to use salt or sand on the palms of my hands. Almost daily as if they itch (I wouldn’t describe it that way though.)and the scrubbing relives it, slowly easing away and creating a feeling of ease and relief. Same for my feet. And I must, can’t tell you how nuts it makes me feel if I don’t, I must walk in rough sand for several minutes several times a week. The had scrubbing seems to relive the cigarette craving too. Both of these cravings make me feel a bit nuts or is it the manner in which I escape them that make me feel nuts?  I wonder if this is how crazy people start out or how OCD starts. I indulge, but what if it starts taking me over?  I mentioned it to a trusted person who does energy work and she seemed to think it was a natural way for my body to ask for clearing and grounding. With my new stronger empathic abilities, more clearing is necessary. (click here for more clearing and grounding ideas)

Gurus

I had an ‘er duh’ moment when deciding that most of the gurus I follow are saying the same message, just in a slightly different way.

I’ve been reading Eckart Tolle (I highly recommend 'listening' to his books) again, this time with more understanding than ever. Eckart came into my awareness around 2014 or so. I recall reading it thinking it was like Shakespeare and was in need of someone to interpret it. I now can hear a thread of the similar message of Abraham Hicks teachings and it makes sense to me now.

Abraham teaches us to say “Yes” to joy as often as we can. Eckart Tolle teaches us to do one of three things: accept, enjoy or be enthusiastic about everything. Basically, and how he puts it, you say “yes” to every moment that occurs. My study of numerology, my gratitude journal (on day 66), my practices of both yoga and meditation has helped with this. Also, reminding myself that thoughts are things, currently with added depth of meaning, so I continue to use it.

Life is happening FOR you, not ‘to’ you. Seeing messages and gifts in every moment takes practice. This also repeats the theme of the Law of Attraction. You know this to be true: like attracts like. If everyone around you is accepting, enjoying and enthusiastic it means YOU are those things.

Not overnight, not all at once. As a process that could take years, decades, a life time. I am watching my life unfold with these new awareness’s, chronicling them. It’s been fun and interesting. Especially the sharing part- that’s been exciting (when scary turns good). Many days I am not even close. Having more minutes of resistance is quiet obvious. That is only because I now have more moments of joy then ever and I know I have quadrupled my enthusiasm for life.

When you take moments of silence you are telling the Universe “Yes”. “Yes” I am ready. “Yes”, to who you are.  As I take the long way around the block to make my point. None of this information, from the important message to write to the seemingly unconnected symptoms, would have come to me unless I had taken moments to be quiet. Not minutes and certainly not hours. Just a few moments here and there when I would allow an answer to come or just to allow awareness.

Say “Yes” to what is happening in every moment, counsels Tolle.  I’ve been suggesting, “Say Yes to who you are,” of course it’s a good starting point. And Abraham advises; say “yes” to things that bring you JOY!

Just checking my meditation prompt for today and:  And here we have the message AGAIN: “Say Yes”, read more of this excellent post here: www.achangeloracle.com Angel Razbar 6/18/2017

Love, Light and “Yes” to who you are,

Tricia
