Harness the energy of Mercury retrograde for reflection, healing, and personal growth.
Find a quiet area where you can sit comfortably. Light some candles and burn incense or essential oils that resonate with you (like lavender for calmness or frankincense for clarity)
– A journal or paper and pen
– Crystals (such as clear quartz for clarity, lapis lazuli for communication, or smoky quartz for grounding)
Ground Yourself
Meditate on Reflection
Spend a few minutes in meditation, focusing on the aspects of your life that need review. Ask for guidance on what to let go of and what to nurture. Write them down.
Thank the universe for the insights you received. Blow out the candles and let the incense burn out naturally. Keep your journal close and revisit your intentions throughout the retrograde period.
At the end of Mercury retrograde, review your reflections and see how your insights have manifested or changed.
