Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Full Moon Eclipse | How to Regulate Yourself During Intense Seasons”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, we attune to a Full Moon eclipse — a time often associated with culmination, acceleration, and unexpected change.
If life feels intense right now, you’re not imagining it.
Eclipses can bring endings, shifts, and emotional material to the surface. And during heightened seasons like this, the nervous system needs something specific:
Care.
In this episode, Riva explores the Full Moon through the lens of the Mother archetype and the reparenting journey — especially for those who didn’t receive consistent emotional support growing up.
You’ll learn:
- How self-compassion impacts cortisol and nervous system regulation
- The magic of offfering ourselves warmth and creating internal safety
- The difference between self-mothering and martyrdom
- How to meet grief, anger, and overwhelm with presence
Research shows that self-compassion practices increase emotional resilience and heart rate variability while reducing stress reactivity.
If eclipse season has stirred grief, exhaustion, or pressure, this episode offers a grounded reminder:
You don’t need to harden to survive intensity.
You can learn to hold yourself through it.
