Time to Slow Down: Mercury Retrograde!

Today when I entered the yoga studio where I participate in a workstudy, I was informed that there was no Internet at all and the elevator was not working! While one of the employees there looked stressed and fretful, I tried to mitigate her anxiety by letting her know it wasn't that bad. Then it struck me - a thought appeared in my head reminding me it must be that time again...mercury retrograde. Sure enough I logged onto Dian Bustillo's Daily Moonscope (http://dianbustillo.net/working.php) to see the mercury retrograde began Many 26, 2008.

Having studied these retrogrades in the past and see the trends, I am not surprised to see internet down, telephone lines not working, delayed text messages. Mercury is the planet of communication, travel, and technology. When Mercury goes into retrograde, it appears to be going backwards, and that is what happens often in the areas that Mercury rules...instead of things pertaining to communication go smooth as usual, we will notice some bumps, delays, and possible standstill moments in some areas of of our lives.

What I have learned from the Mercury Retrogrades are the following:
1) PATIENCE!!! When phones start messing up, email takes longer to load, etc etc...instead of getting worked up and frustrated, I try to remind myself to be patient and embrace the reality of the present. To accept the present can be challenging, but it can also be very easy. To accept the present scenario, we are able to sometimes use a little more creativity in how we get along day to day. If email is not working, perhaps being present will encourage us to walk away from the computer or to slip the blackberry back into our pocket and look up and SEE a familiar face, a beautiful tree, and sunny sky...something that brings us right back into our present.
2) Go With The Flow! OK I will admit to having a few control issues and wanting to control everything around me, so sometimes this time is a good time to sit back, remove our control, and be confident that what is right is happening and that all will work out to be okay. Go with the flow instead and enjoy the ride.
3)Reflection! This is a good time to reflect on what has worked in the past, what has been achieved in the past, and how we want to plan for future success and achievements in the future.
4) Edit and Re-Edit! You may find yourself having to repeat or redo things during this time period. So you as might as well put more effort into it the second time. If you are writing a story and your computer crashes, have faith that the second time you write this story it will have something additional that it did not have the first time.

Happy Living!

April Showers Brings May Flowers

April has been a challenging month in various ways for me and others. The first week of April I chose to have hand surgery on my right hand after having an accident at work where a glass lacerated my palm and severed the tendons connected to my pinky. I had never had surgery before except for wisdom teeth removal, and I had never had general anesthesia. When I woke up from the procedure, I was confused, in pain, and relatively immobile. I realized that I was wearing a hard cast over my right hand and arm with only my thumb exposed. The next 2 days, I took Vicodin every couple of hours and found myself sleeping a lot. After deciding I did not want to take anymore Vicodin, I began to become less sleepy and have to deal with this new way of life. The simplest tasks became impossible: washing my hair, applying makeup, chopping vegetables...other tasks became very challenging: cleaning up, making my bed, getting dressed. I feel my whole life has been flipped. And I admit that sometimes I would find myself asking and yelling: WHY? I was really screaming WHY to myself? Asking myself why I had willed this accident onto me? Why did I not love myself to be able to imagine an April full of love, laughs, fun, prosperity, and more? I thought that I had...but obviously had not.

Or maybe I had, but having this temporary injury had made me blind to see the fun that I was having in April and the happiness I was experiencing. I have learned from this experience a few things:

1) Our hands are PRECIOUS gifts! We are blessed to have hands and be able to experience life with them; writing, holding hands, touching, and more
2) EVERYTHING IS PRECIOUS! yes our hands are precious, but so are the rest of the parts (internal and external) that make up our self. Deeper than that, everything is PRECIOUS....we are all connected as one.
3) The show must go on. At the end of the day, I am partially limited in my actions, but I still think, talk, smile, laugh, and am affected by the same things: sunny days make me optimistic, coffee makes me happy, a little child's smile calms me, and flowers rebirth me
4) Good Friends make life amazing and they are just as much family as people who I share the last name with

All of this said, I look forward to May, June, and the rest of my life! These showers in April are cultivating a ripers, fresher, more compassionate, more beautiful crop of flowers and attitude for May and the rest of time.

Thank you to all who have supported me or prayed for me or thought of me or has smiled at me or has picked up my slack in the Universe - u are appreciated and LOVED!

Namaste

Starting Now

Now is the past, present, and future because time is fluid.  I have been thinking about trying to host a positivity circle in my home where I would invite my sisterfriends over to join and visualize their best lives in the comfort of an intimate space for an hour.  I know that energy would be overwhelming and could only lead to success.  Yesterday it dawned on me that the necessity for us to be in the same place is not a necessity at all, because we are already on the same plane and our minds can meet on a higher plane with ease and be positive, encouraging and visualizing our best lives.

Our lives our what we visualize.  Unfortunately sometimes visualizing is challenging.  In a world, where often we can feel limited (especially in New York City where space becomes a challenge), as we get wiser and more mature, sometimes we can lose the imagination that we had as a child or teenager (pre-sex, and that will be another blog), so these exercises are to open our imagination and positivity up and let it soar and regain it abundance and limitedless.

Tomorrow, Tuesday April 1, 2008 will be the first day of Positivity Power Half Hours.  The goal is for to all use a half hour at the same time to visualize our best existences simultaneously and send that positivity, love and feelings of abundance out into the Universe that will come back to us multiplied.  So do what you do to visualize your best life: create a vision board, meditate, journal, think, sit quietly, light a candle, draw....whatever and however you visualize your best life.  Our best lives our here, and we must start living them and strengthening this gift.

Due to the intensity of this exercise, I have not invited every one I know to join, I have invited those I think may be ready and I invite you to invite you may think are ready.   This will be an ongoing project, with daily Positivity Power Time Slots.  So my soul looks forward to greeting your soul on the astral plane.

Let us use this blog to share positivity, encouragement, stories of success, love, and all that good stuff to encourage one another and remind one another we are ALWAYS TOGETHER AND ALWAYS BEING SUPPORTED, in fact we are never alone.

Love, light, positivity,

Shirley
