Glowing orbs rise around her, casting gentle light across her skin. Her body language speaks of deep trust—held, protected, and entirely unhurried.

Beyond the Backspin

Beyond the Backspin Reclaiming the Power of Retrogrades Retrogrades are not detours. They are directional shifts meant to bring us into deeper harmony with time, truth, and transformation. The collective often treats these planetary moments like warning sirens—especially when Mercury is involved. Social media floods with memes and panic, as if a retrograde is a cosmic trick played on us rather than an invitation to slow down and realign. But that’s not how I experience them. Not anymore. At Healing through Visions, I meet retrograde energy with presence, not panic. When a planet stations retrograde, it doesn’t actually move backward—it appears to. This illusion of reversal is symbolic, not sinister. It signals a time when that planet’s themes become more internalized, more reflective, more potent…

A Black woman kneels in a moonlit field, draped in a deep red dress that flows like living memory. Before her, suspended in mid-air, a shattered mirror hovers—its jagged shards reflecting not just her face, but subtle variations of it, as if pulling from parallel timelines. Some fragments shimmer with distorted symbols, others echo scenes that no longer exist in this reality. Her expression is calm, reverent, as if she knows she’s not broken—she’s remembering across dimensions. Above her, a full moon glows like a portal, illuminating the veil between versions of truth. This moment captures the soul of the Mandela Effect: a sacred encounter with what was, what is, and what still might be.

The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where large groups of people recall events, names, or details differently than what the official record shows. Named after the widespread belief that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, this phenomenon reveals the strange fractures in our collective memory. Or perhaps… echoes from parallel timelines. These aren’t just one-off memory slips. They’re collective experiences. Shared knowing that something used to be different. And while traditional science explains it away through cognitive bias or social influence, many of us have learned to trust what we remember—even when it goes against…

A radiant Black woman with rich brown skin and locs stands in stillness, her eyes closed in peaceful power. Her face glows with celestial grace, as fiery waves of red, orange, and gold spiral behind her like a living solar aura. The light seems to emanate from her very being, blending cosmic energy with embodied presence. Her posture is regal yet relaxed, capturing the sacred moment of planetary integration and inner alignment.
