Mercury Retrograde is Over: Here’s How to Reset Your Nervous System
Mercury retrograde is officially behind us! As of August 11th, Mercury has gone direct, giving us a little break before the next retrograde in November. If you felt things were a bit off — miscommunications, delays, tech glitches, or just that fuzzy feeling — you’re not alone. Mercury retrograde is a time for reflection and recalibration, a chance to slow down and check in with ourselves.
How are we feeling? Take a moment to notice where you’re at. Did this retrograde bring frustration, surprises, or little reminders to pause? Or maybe it was more subtle — a quiet nudge from your nervous system saying, “slow down for a moment.” Wherever you are, it’s completely okay.
For me, this retrograde was a wild ride — and I saw it ripple through the lives of many people in my circle too. If you felt it, know you’re not alone. It’s a reminder that even when we’re trying to stay grounded, cosmic energy can still move through us — kinda wild, right?
Resetting Your Nervous System After Mercury Retrograde
Now that Mercury is moving forward, it’s the perfect time to reset, recharge, and reconnect with your energy. Here are a few gentle ways to do that:
Breathe and Ground: Take a few deep breaths, stretch, or go for a mindful walk outside (my current fave!). Let your body feel supported.
Journal and Reflect: Write down what you’d like to release from the retrograde energy — and what you’d love to invite in.
Clear Your Energy: Meditation, Reiki, or simple energy practices can help you realign. For an easy, supportive reset, try our free Clear Your Aura meditation — just a few minutes can help you feel calmer and clearer.
This is your moment to let go of what no longer serves you, reset your nervous system, and step forward with ease and clarity. Mercury has gone direct — now it’s time to move forward with intention, presence, and gentle flow.
One more thing before you go, keep an eye out — we’ll be sharing meditation bundles and personalized meditations soon, designed to help you reset, recharge, and align with ease.
With love,
