This week, we’re attuning to the energy of the Dark Moon — that mysterious, tender space just before the New Moonbegins.

It’s the moment of total stillness.
No light from the moon. No outward movement. Just quiet.

And yet, this pause is sacred. It’s the fertile soil from which your next chapter will grow.

If you’re someone who’s been doing the work — showing up for therapy, journaling, caring for others, trying to keep everything together — but still feel tired, anxious, or disconnected, this episode will help you understand why stillness is not a setback but an essential part of your healing process.

In this episode, we explore:

🌑 The spiritual and somatic meaning of the Dark Moon — and how it mirrors the “inner winter” of your cycle.
🌑 Why rest, stillness, and non-doing are vital for emotional integration and nervous system repair.
🌑 What research says about how stillness supports healing — activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, and even rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity.
🌑 How anxiety, trauma, and societal conditioning make stillness feel unsafe — and how to gently rebuild your capacity to pause.
🌑 Simple ways to create micro-moments of stillness throughout your day, even if you’re busy or overwhelmed.
