What To Do During Mercury Retrograde

The spiritual meanings of Mercury retrograde are all intended to help you slow down to reflect inward. Here are some of the most beneficial ways to utilize Mercury retrograde, which will benefit your spiritual journey. 

Reevaluate

During Mercury retrograde, you may find yourself reflecting on past decisions and relationships.

This is a time to reevaluate and release what no longer serves you. Including relationships that are not aligned with your dreams and are not supportive of who you are. 

If exes reappear, reevaluate that relationship. An ex might also show up as old memories or in a dream when sleeping. 

Is there any unfinished business? 

Do you still need healing that you were previously unaware of?

How was that relationship trying to help you learn and grow? 

Reflection

Take time to reflect on your inner self during Mercury retrograde. This is a time to connect with your intuition and gain clarity on your spiritual path.

The benefits of meditating with light language and cleansing your energy daily are amplified. This is due to the universe supporting you in releasing patterns and energetic blocks where you were previously stuck. 

Renewal

Mercury retrograde is a time of renewal. Use this time to focus on self-care and recharge your energy. This can lead to a fresh start and new beginnings after Mercury goes direct.  

Where in your life do you feel exhausted? 
Is there a person or situation dragging you down? 
If yes, review if there might be a soul lesson attached to the situation. Renew your perspective on the situation, and see how each person is learning and growing at a pace that is best for their soul’s evolution. 

If you can see the good in other people, it will help you to better handle any negativity coming from them. 

Mercury retrograde can be challenging. But it is also an excellent opportunity for growth and spiritual development.
Meditate while Listening to Light Language
Meditate by closing your eyes, breathing deeply, and tuning into your breath and your heart. Focus on white light flowing through your aura and all your chakras.

Do this while listening to light language. Keep your eyes closed and visualize inhaling white light and exhaling everything that does not feel good to you. 

Meditating in a waterfall of white light while focusing within your heart is also an excellent way to connect to your intuition. 

Practice Mindfulness

Maintain awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs every day in a non-judgmental way. Your feelings always reveal the truth to you about the types of energies within your system. Aim for removing everything that does not feel good to you.

For example, if you notice a pattern of negativity appearing around a particular person, review why this happens. 

Does the person trigger you often or only occasionally? 

Do you feel like the person is holding you back in life? 

Is there something you are supposed to be learning from this situation?
