Paying Attention, Staying Alert

AvatarHigh Priestess Lydia Coventina2 min to read

Mars is now retrograde. As I wrote in the thread about it, most of you likely will not have any bad effects from this.

But in general, keep up cleaning your aura daily. If you ever sense any gray, immediately clean. If you're around other people then you can start visualizing sunlight on/in you, this will be at least some help.

Most people walk around in a daydream or listening to music, or thinking of something unrelated to their surroundings. Thinking about a recent argument, thinking about a tv show, and so on. This ultimately does not help you in any way, regardless of if there are any potential dangers.

I had one bad solar return year, years ago, so I made the decision to not listen to music while out walking, and to focus fully on my surroundings. This is a great mental exercise to do anyway, it will help to increase your focus and concentration, and lengthen the duration of your concentration. Mental endurance needs to be strengthened anyway for most people. Very few people have strong mental endurance.

You can take this Mars Rx as an opportunity to increase awareness of your surroundings, and increase your daily energy, which prevents low-vibrational incidents such as general bad luck from manifesting.

So, when you find yourself out walking or driving, pay more attention, as fully as possible, on your surroundings. Take note of anything strange. Be aware of your surroundings, in general.

You can do small practices through the day to .

5 Tibetan Rites and Sun Salutations are also great to do, and quick. You can find these online. I always just skipped the standing circling one in the Tibetan Rites and just did the other 4. Breathing exercises are quick and easy.

And listen to your intuition (we have a saying called "gut instincts"), or any signs from your Guardian Demon.

Have a happy and safe Yule season, everyone :)

I used to walk around with my earbuds headphones all the time and I was always absorbed in the music. One day a friend told me she couldn't enjoy a walk with music, because you need to take in also the sounds of your surroundings. So I tried that and I was so surprised how the world is so much more when you also take in the sound. Everything improved about my walks and also going around in general. I felt like I was more a part of the world. And also I could enjoy music more when I dedicated special time to it, just enjoying it fully and not while doing other things like walking, cooking or doing household chore. I urge everyone who walks around with headphones to at least try doing it without them. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Great Post, thank you very much for the reminder about Retrograde Mars (y)
Will sexual magic work if, instead of the red, orange energies of Mars, I use White-gold, Bright Gold (Color), White (Astral color) energy for sexual and love work during this period?

The same thing happens after the Retrograde Venus period, the green energy of Venus is replaced by a Golden color, which is related to love and its solar aspect.

Gold colour is also associated with Love.

Is it possible to bypass Retrograde Mars in the works of black magic and sexual magic?

Is it possible to bypass Retrograde Venus in the works of love magic and love-sexual magic using aspects of the Sun (Gold), or the colors of the Astral)?

If you look at the official statistics of marriages and successful dates, then they also occur during the periods of retrograde Mars and Venus.

«You will find on the left of the halls of Hades a spring, and standing by it a white cypress. Do not approach this spring at all. You will find another, from the Lake of Memory, with cold water flowing from it. Guardians stand before it. Say: 'I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone. You know this yourselves. I am parched with thirst and am perishing. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.' And they will give you to drink from the sacred spring, and after that you will reign among the other heroes» - From the Petelia Tablet (300-200 BCE) ⚡

Life is indeed beautiful when you give it the chance it deserves.

It's not about colors. You can't bypass by using different colors.

Love workings won't work during Venus Rx because of Venus Rx. Not because of green vs gold energy.

Greatly appreciate this post, HPS Lydia!
I have a question: I was wondering for those of us with hyperactive thoughts, such as people with ADHD (I feel like most mental illnesses are spiritual illnesses, in a sense, that manifest within our physical body. Not certain what causes these kinds of things or if this is even the case, but if I was to assume, I'd guess it stems blockages/stagnant energy in the upper chakras? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't want to be spouting non-sense, lol.)
I was wondering if there are any mudras/words of power/runes we can utilize to help us maintain focus until we can get to the point in training our minds that we can will our mind to be completely silent for periods of time needed for focus, such as during meditations or rituals.
I started taking medication for ADHD about 4 years ago, but I hope to get to a point in my advancement where I can overcome this and hopefully either get off the medication, and/or find a natural/spiritual way to aid my focus and be more efficient.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I also wanted to add that my meditation practice has been aiding me in clearing my thoughts more effectively, I was just curious if there were other spiritual means to aid focus and inhibit the mind from wandering so much.
I've also noticed grounding helps, as well as visualizing the thoughts floating away in the wind, so long as their meaningless thoughts, you know?

Isa rune helps. Howlite crystal is good for quieting the mind and preventing excess thoughts, as is Jet (petrified blackened wood). Black Agate too although that's a bit more rare. There might be more but these are the ones that come to mind now.

Just hold the crystal, keep it in your pocket, or get it in pendant form, and keep it with you whenever, to train your mind to quiet down. And of course hold/wear it when doing void meditation :)

Magnesite is another crystal which works well for calming the mind. I have one I like to hold while doing Gods Rituals and it helps me keep focus when the thoughts drift off 🙂

Thank you very much for the advice, for some reason I was feeling really bad and my intuition increased 100% like I had never seen before, there is always something alerting me at all times. Now I get it, I was talking to my friend about it ( the bad feeling and she said it could be PMS symptoms but I was sure it was more than that.
