Empathic Communication and Mercury Retrograde

October Setting the Theme for 2014

Here we are again in Mercury Retrograde. A time to relearn or redo to refresh what we did before.

We have been experiencing very strong energies - fantastic energies for awakening and transforming again to higher consciousness and wellbeing. October's energy is giving us a taste or reflection of the whole energy for 2014: intense energies and situations to give us opportunities for insights, wellbeing and growth.

The energies are stronger right now in the Mercury Retrograde period.
The particular learning opportunity through events becomes stronger and stronger each Mercury Retrograde until we finally get what we were meant to apply. What is it that has particularly been bothering you? Have you noticed this scenario surfaces periodically, perhaps in a mild way, yet when Mercury retrograde comes, the events seem full on? When the insights and changes have been made during the Mercury Retrograde period, we might not always be consciously aware that the lesson has been really got. Not until we realise that the dramas and obstacles are somehow no longer there. We stop anticipating the obstacles that were regularly occurring because we have ceased creating them.

Mercury retrograde is about communication.
Have you backed up your computer? Computers and telephones tend to go awry during Retrograde because Mercury rules technology and communication.

Communication problems with others is where practically all our issues come from.
This could be a reflection of really hearing our own internal communication. Pausing to use awareness of our internal dialogue and being "with" the other person enables us to hear, not so much their words, but the energy and deeper meaning carried in the words. Sensing what is going on with the other person, or our self, we are in awareness. We are using empathy.

An extremely useful question to ask ourselves when we feel out-of-sorts is: "Is this mine, or someone else’s?" Without conscious awareness that we are feeling what another is feeling, we are powerless and helpless to do anything with the feelings. When we discover that we are empathising - that the feeling is not ours - the idea is not to 'send it back to the other person'. There is information within the energy. From this place of awareness, vital information is being given for us to know the best way to interpret and respond to the situation. The feelings will then dissipate because they had got our attention and we acted upon the information within the energy. Hearing the message within the energy is more beneficial than trying to get rid of it.

Non verbal communication is the most useful form of communication.
Misunderstandings and misinterpretations can be avoided when hearing deeper than the words. This strengthens the bond in the relationship to bring unconditional acceptance without the judgment, blame etc. The gift of really being with another person brings a deep calm in accessing valuable information through empathy. If we don’t want to hear the other person, our natural energy becomes stuck because there is a blockage to our creativity and prosperity. Practising to 'hear' ourselves is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our connections and relationships with others.

Rest is vital for our revitalisation and renewal during this Mercury Retrograde period to hear from our intuition.
This year has been emotionally full on. The events and learning opportunities were for us to take responsibility to be fruitful in our lives; to be responsible to empathise, nurture and be of service to ourselves first and then others. As we learn from the events, we will find that this naturally and spontaneously overflows to others.

The emotionally volatile month of September was the pivot for 2013's energy to take responsibility with the connections to others and learning to empathise and understand.

October’s intense energies continues to support the year's energy, by bringing truckloads of opportunities to gain lightning flashes of intuitive insight for taking action. In acting upon the insights new life begins to sprout. Symptoms of dis-ease - chronic and degenerative, and even those that didn’t seem an issue - just fall away as the messenger within the dis-ease is received and the underlying imbalanced patterns are corrected to the norm.

Normalising our imbalanced patterns is a key to changing the source of our health disturbances.
These deep underlying patterns have been surfacing and manifesting as intense symptoms: spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. They were to get our attention to normalise the imbalanced patterns and create a change in the former ways and habits of doing things. Treating or suppressing symptoms, without bringing attention to the cause, means the issue will surface again later, perhaps more strongly. We have two choices during these intense energies: breakthrough, or avoid the insights and deal with the consequences. Withdrawing and shutting down leads to chronic dis-eases.

After the rest and review of Mercury Retrograde, we will see the fruit of our earlier actions become very prevalent during November. November's energy gives us opportunities for manifesting joy, renewed health, wellbeing and prosperity as the fruit of applying our wisdom to break free of the past.
