Soul Food-What IS Your Body Telling You?-Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide

Soul Food-What IS Your Body Telling You?-Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide

As many of you are aware, twenty years ago, I went to San Diego to study the works of Louise Hay and became certified to teach her works, and started doing life coaching (based on her philosophy) simultaneously. Twenty-plus years have passed, and I still use her teachings and a myriad of other metaphysical philosophies incorporated into my Astrological studies.

What I have learned is vast; my thirst for knowledge, along with a continual absorption of everything and anything that comes my way and some that don’t, I’m a lifelong student. I’ve shared Louise’s philosophies and teachings with you and others on my journey. I still refer to her book You Can Heal Your Life every week, especially when something medical or a dis-ease (as Louise likes to call it) in the body occurs. Louise believes that for every ailment, there is a metaphysical thought pattern that can heal it. In the same respect, she feels a negative thought or action in our lives causes the disease, and thus it manifests in our bodies.

A week ago, my youngest daughter was highly frustrated with many things happening around her, and I called to ask about something I was trying to schedule with her. I feel that put her over the edge, and she lost it with me on the phone. Although not entirely directed “at me,” I hadn’t heard her scream and yell like that for quite some time. She responded to me; it’s not you, Mom; I’m just frustrated with a lot of things right now.

We talked again later that night, but I still felt it was personal and took it to heart. I am a Cancer, and if that weren’t enough, my Solar Return Ascendant this year is Cancer also. Explanation: that makes me extra-sensitive to what is being said to me and what is happening around me this Solar Return year June 2022 – June 2023. That night I cried myself to sleep, drank a little more red wine than usual, and went to bed. The next day, I had an excruciating earache in my left ear. The left side of the body is receiving, and the right side is sending out. Now, to be fair, I’ve had intermittent problems with a collapsed eustachian tube in my left year for years.

The intense pain continued for 2-3 days until it started to subside. When something hits me (medically), I am rampant with holistic oils, tinctures, teas, and gargles, along with the Neti-pot. I feel I knocked most of it out within a few days. I need to mention I am very strict with my diet, especially when any physical ailment hits me or pain, which usually is accompanied by the other.

I did what I always do; I looked it up in Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life. This is what Louise has to say:

Ear: Probable Cause: Representing the capacity to hear. Positives Affirmation: I hear with Love.

Earache: Probable Cause: Anger. Not wanting to hear. Too much turmoil. Parents arguing.

Positive Affirmation: Harmony surrounds me. I listen with love to the pleasant & the good. I am a center for love.

Both of my parents have passed on. Thus I need to look at what was/is happening in my current environment and move forward with that information.

For those unfamiliar with Louise Hay and her work, I strongly recommend you read it.

Mercury is going Retrograde on September 9th at 8* 55′ Libra at 8:38pm/PDT & 11:38pm/EDT.

Here’s your Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide:

DON’TS: (let’s get these out of the way)

• don’t install new software, or decide to completely overhaul your computer (you’re not the Geek Squad) & even if you are, this is NOT the time to do it
• watch your words, this is the time when people tend to “open mouth, insert foot, or whole leg” and for God’s sake; don’t drunk text or FB after doing shots of Tequila, it’s bad enough when we do it without the Retrograde
• double check, triple check, all documents, emails, posts, and appointments, you don’t want to end up in Tijuana, when your friend said Topanga, or if you’re in Ohio, same thing you don’t want to end up stranded in Kinsman when you’re friend is waiting for you in Kirkland
• don’t sign any important contracts or start a new job
• hold off signing on the dotted line for that new house or your new Lincoln
• planes, trains, & automobiles; if at all possible hold off travel, if you must, triple check everything; be extra careful with keys, batteries, tires
• HOLD OFF on trying new daring adventures at this time, if you’ve never climbed Mt. Everest this isn’t the time to decide you’re going to make a name for yourself, (unless you want the headlines to read “first time climber found missing in avalanche)…also don’t throw yourself in front of a train just to prove it’s not your “time” to go, (that’s just called ‘dumb-ass’)

DO’S:

• reassess, redo, relax, rejuvenate, redesign, rethink, reapply, reflect,
• reconnect with old friends from the past, and don’t be surprised if an ex-lover shows up at your door, this is meant for a reason so healing can happen and then the two of you can move forward, (or get back together) however I feel it’s the former
• reorganize your closets, your files
• rewrite that novel you started months ago
• revisit that project you abandoned (I have a few of those)
• something hidden is revealed, be open and aware

THE EXCEPTION:

• If you have a “history” with something then it’s OK to sign the deal on a house you have a history with (you put a bid on it months ago, you babysat the neighbors kids in that house, etc.)
• if you’re old boss (whom you liked) is at a new company & offers you a job
• if you’re in sales, cars, real estate etc. look up former clients you have an established “history” with
• you started building a website & put quite a bit of work into it, then let it sit for months
