Right now, we’re standing inside a cosmic convergence.

A solar eclipse, a new moon, the Lunar New Year, the beginning of eclipse season 2026 — one of the wildest we’ll experience this year — and a rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at zero Aries.

None of these events on their own are small. Together, they create pressure. Not collapse, but compression. And sensitive bodies are feeling it. Eclipse season doesn’t whisper — it interrupts, scrambles your inner compass, and makes old ways of navigating suddenly unreliable.

If you’ve been feeling restless, irritable, emotionally reactive, scattered, or oddly wired and tired at the same time, you’re not imagining it. Your nervous system is responding to a world recalibrating faster than your mind can track.

In this episode of Cosmic Body Shenanigans, Amanda breaks down:

What eclipse season is and why it matters

How sensitive systems respond accurately to cosmic and collective pressure

The impact of the Lunar New Year’s Fire Horse energy on momentum and suppressed energy

The Saturn–Neptune conjunction at zero Aries and why it signals structural dissolution and initiation

A somatic check-in practice to help you orient, pause, and move with clarity during intense energy

✨ Sensitive Bodies don’t need more force — they need awareness and alignment with the signals their body is already giving.

Nature is already changing, and sensitive bodies often feel that shift before there’s language for it.

If you’ve been feeling more tired, irritable, achy, or off without a clear reason, this episode offers context for what your body may be responding to.

In this episode, we explore how sensitive nervous systems track seasonal and environmental changes, even when modern life encourages us to override those signals. She shares how light, seasons, animal behavior, and ancient cultural markers have long guided human regulation, and why sensitive bodies often feel depleted right before internal energy begins to move again.

You’ll hear about:

• Why sensitive bodies feel seasonal shifts earlier and more intensely
• How nature communicates through light, seasons, and animal behavior
• What phenology is and why it matters for nervous system regulation
• Why winter shutdown is not dysfunction, but biological wintering
• How Imbolc marks orientation toward light, not forced growth
• A simple somatic practice to help you listen to what nature is signaling now

This episode is for sensitive, intuitive, high-performing people who feel deeply affected by seasonal change and want to understand what their body has been responding to beneath the surface.

Sensitive nervous systems feel stress and overwhelm more intensely than most — but many of us try to think, talk, or “logic” our way out of it without realizing our body isn’t listening that way.

In this episode, we explore what happens inside highly attuned, intuitive nervous systems when your body is stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — and why insight alone often fails to calm a pent-up, restless system.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why your body prioritizes protection over relaxation — and what that means for your stress and energy
✨ The science of bottom-up regulation: why your hands can calm your nervous system faster than your brain
✨ How art, movement, and creative expression release tension and signal safety to the vagus nerve
✨ How to choose the right kind of creative practice for your nervous system right now
✨ Simple ways to use drawing, painting, clay, dance, or messy, playful art as regulation tools

If you’ve ever felt wired, restless, or “stuck in your head” — you’re not imagining it.
Your nervous system is trying to tell you something.
This episode will show you how to work with your body’s natural signals instead of forcing calm through willpower.
