Grateful for the Block (Mercury Rx)

energetic wandering and getting unstuck // july 13 - 19

Last week, I did a hypnotherapy workshop with Kelsey Lettko. She led us through a series of exercises to help us release blockages that are standing in our way of receiving what we desire. We started with dialing in specifically what we wished to receive, then branched out to explore what could be blocking us from openly welcoming that thing in.

I have been having this dull ache recently to receive deeper clarity on the next phase of my business. I find myself in a quiet lull of creating projects and offerings, and sometimes slip into feeling restless to achieve more. As I meditated on the block standing in my way from receiving this clarity, I realized that in this current season of my life, tending to my personal life and relationships has taken precedence. I have been resting more, producing less, exploring new ideas, and maintaining current structures. Originally, I thought ‘this block’ was going to be more of a foreboding obstacle to overcome. I softened around the idea that what is ‘blocking me’ or ‘holding me back’ from achieving in my business was actually a form of protection. As I move through this creative lull, this blockage is helping my work stay sustainable, so I don’t burn myself out. It’s also allowing me to expand my sense of self-worth beyond my work into my interpersonal relationships and hobbies.

If you are coming out of last week’s full moon in Capricorn feeling the need to be doing or achieving more, I invite you to consider that what you think is holding you back might be a form of subtle protection or redirection.

Similarly, as I will go into more detail below, this week’s Mercury Retrograde has a sneaky way of making us feel like we are constantly behind or out of sorts. Remember that slowing down and redirecting your energy is often more meaningful for your long term journey.
