Short-term Memory Issue

[sinbad]

What could be the cause of this issue spiritually or otherwise?:

There's nothing wrong with my long-term memory, but I'll frequently forget a thought from a few seconds ago because several new trajectories of thoughts, insights, or ideas have entered my brain to make space for the new one's and crowd out the old one's.

Often the initial thought is a very important one, but so is the new one(s), and my brain doesn't seem to operate based on a hierarchy of importance or prioritisation in this regard, because it tries to prioritise everything.

I think it's due to a few T-square(s) involving Mercury to Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn and The Moon.

However, I don't think void meditation is the issue as I have very good focus.

It appears more so to be a problem of "bandwidth" but I'm not sure what type of working, runes or energy is appropriate to target the issue?

And I don't want to do a Mercury Square, because I think that will only exacerbate the issue at the moment.

Is it really a matter of removing negative karma, because it doesn't sound like an overtly "negative" type of karma, but rather a need to slow down?

I don't want to slow down, though, but rather to find a way to catch up to myself.

I can't pinpoint the issue in terms of my conscious behaviour or cognition.

Maybe it's the Neptune-Moon contact?

Do I need to increase the volume of a specific type of Meditation/Yoga, like Alternate Nostril Breath or Flame Meditation?

What would you recommend?

It seems I've received the answer through this video on "brain-derived neurotropic factor" in relation to gut microbiome?:

I think it's a lack of awareness, perhaps a deficiency of the Earth Element. I would also remind you that you can try AUM or SATANAMA for ten minutes straight. Or, if you can handle it, balance the Elements directly with invocation.

Don't overcomplicate, we have the rune Mannaz you can use to improve memory, or the mantra of Mercury. Mercury is going retrograde at the end of the month, becareful to do a working before or to wait the end of the retrograde. You don't need to do a Mercury square if you don't want to, and to be honest square's for most are too much, if you can't handle it, it's better to do other workings.

Do this on regular basis, you dont need a working for it.

If you feel like you still do, moon rules both kind short and long term memory you can use its square

Probably not, at least not natally, but you may be right.

I have a lot of Earth dominance and overall quite balanced energies, and I am certainly not lacking awareness, but my Earth hasn't been chanelled properly into yoga and fitness, of which I've neglected, and I can sense certain junk foods and bad habits frazzle my brain's "coherence" for example

So I do think focusing on a healthier expression of Earth will ground my mind in the appropriate way

Thank you

I received an insight about an hour ago to do something like this before I took a nap, so I'll definitely give it a try!

I wasn't sure on the root cause of the issue and whether magick or a more physical solution would be appropriate

I know the energies will "do its thing" but I want to target the problem with precision in order to directly and efficiently attack the cause of the issue

I've noticed you can make extremely quick progress on a working if the affirmation and visualisation is precise enough, like literally on the same day

And I can handle a Mercury Square, but at least based on my own experience the Squares tend to exacerbate any underlying traits unless all of the associated negative karma is removed beforehand

I was thinking about it again, and I don't think it's necessarily an imbalance of the Elements. The Elements have a different use, I think. So consider my previous answer as false.

When we say that someone who raises their energy to a level that their body cannot sustain becomes ungrounded, it is actually perhaps an imbalance of the nervous system. And asanas, alternate nostril breathing, the Aum or Satanama mantra are all aimed at rebalancing the nervous system.

I have a feeling similar to what you describe every time I feel ungrounded, which is why I talked about methods to solve that kind of problem. If you don't move enough, you might be experiencing the same thing.

Experience will answer you better than I can.
