Why can certain full moons and eclipses leave us feeling completely exhausted?

In this episode, I explore Carolyn Myss’s concept of calling your spirit back: reclaiming the attention, time and life-force energy we continue sending toward past experiences, outdated identities and unresolved stories.

I also connect this spiritual idea to what science tells us about learned protection, predictive processing and perseverative cognition—when the body continues preparing for something that is no longer happening.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why some astrological events may feel more significant than others
• Astrology as a mirror—not a mandate
• What it means to live from an outdated version of yourself
• Carolyn Myss’s concept of calling your spirit back
• The subtle ways we give our power to the past
• Why choice is the fundamental power of the human experience
• Why protective nervous-system responses can continue after a situation has ended
• How rumination can affect heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol and heart-rate variability

Summit takeaway:
Your energy is needed here. Your spirit is needed here. Your life is happening here.
