Mercury Retrograde 2019 – How to Harness the GIFTS!!

https://youtu.be/YstbV6PTj-Q   Mercury Retrograde 2019,
particularly this March is said to be one of the most powerful
"retrograde" periods in years. According to astrology and NDE
expert PMH Atwater, each retrograde period going forward, will be
increasingly more intense and marked, given the overall planetary
shift we are experiencing right now. I can attest to the
awkwardness of this retrograde - from minimal technological gaffs
to major shifts - it's all (apparently) in there! But what else
does this optical illusion offer - that which appears as if the
planet Mercury is moving in opposite direction -re-gressing
backward in time? Do check out my take on this BIG question, but

There’s always much talk (and a fair amount of hype!) when Mercury
turns retrograde, most of it pretty negative and doom laden.
Mention of travel disruption, communication breakdown &
misunderstandings abound. People roll their eyes and brace
themselves for a few weeks of chaos and confusion as they
anticipate the trickster aspect of Mercury messing with their
lives. And yes, it can be true that these happenings occur more
readily during Mercury’s retrograde phase, but the essence of the
trick being played upon us is that they’re not negative events, but
moments designed to stop us in our tracks and wake us up. Many
years ago I worked with an Ericksonian hypnotherapist who used the
technique of unexpected mispronunciation (often of their name) to
pull people up short and take them by surprise, inducing a moment
where their ‘everyday’ consciousness was interrupted and a brief
state was born into which he could then insert a hypnotic
suggestion. Retrograde Mercury acts in much the same way. It
suddenly presents us with the unexpected in the context of everyday
life, lifting us out of the semi-conscious state in which we often
pass our time. At that moment a new suggestion can be made by the
cosmos. Seeds for the growth of a different perspective can be
planted. If, however, we respond to this moment by frantically
trying to return to the ordered world we thought we knew, a moment
of creation and awakening can be lost, never to return. Mercury
Retrograde: A Time of Truths Revealed The time of Mercury
retrograde is always a time of truth, even when communications seem
disrupted and misunderstandings are rife, because misunderstandings
themselves are part of the truth of being human. When Mercury is
retrograde we’re given a chance to address them and correct the
course of events, rather than sweeping them under the carpet, ready
to trip us up another day. Indeed, whatever Mercury retrograde
brings to us, the best reflection is always, ‘What truth does this
reveal to me, and why have I needed it revealed in this way at this
time?’. The answers to these questions may be very enlightening
indeed… So no matter what you may have heard about how it’s nothing
but a pain, causing disruption to our plans, throwing our
communications awry and generally chucking a spanner into the works
of our lives, the passage of Mercury retrograde is actually a gift
from the heavens which gives us an opportunity to reflect, take
stock, review, and correct mistakes we may previously have made in
the rush and whirl of everyday life. It’s how we receive and use
this gift that matters. A while ago I heard someone tell a story of
when they were travelling and every plane they were booked on was
delayed or cancelled. They began to think they would never arrive
at their destination and were becoming increasingly frustrated. In
a packed airport departure lounge, filled with equally frustrated
people, this person decided to make the best of a bad situation.
She looked around to see who looked like someone she’d like to get
to know better, noticed a woman in the corner, sat down next to her
and sparked up a conversation.
