Mercury Retrograde is COMING!! The third one of the year starts on September 27 and runs through October 18th. So, this week's episode is for anyone who has ever felt personally attacked by Mercury Retrograde. Host Leslie Draffin had a super difficult  Mercury Retrograde earlier this year and offers a simple, free tool to help anyone who's experiencing anxiety or stress no matter what's happening in their life.So what is Mercury Retrograde? It's an astrological phenomenon that happens three to four times a year when the planet Mercury appears to be going backwards in its orbit. Mercury takes only 88 days to circle the sun, so at certain times throughout the year, it can look like it's stalled or moving in reverse. It's just an optical illusion, but it can pack a mean punch.Astrologers say Mercury Retrograde can mess with communication, travel and technology. It can also make you more nostalgic for your past - especially past lovers. In this episode, Leslie talks about some of the things she experienced during the last Mercury Retrograde (between May 29 and June 22) and offers a breathing exercise to help you cope.Connect with Leslie on Instagram @lesliedraffinConnect with the podcast @thelightwithinpodcastEmail us if you have questions or you know someone who'd make a great guest on this show: [email protected] best way to support this podcast is by leaving a review & rating, downloading episodes & sharing them with someone you love! Want to activate your healing journey?
