Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Feeling Drained Lately? The Waning Moon, Eclipse Season & Your Body’s Need for Space

from Healing Her Story with Riva Jean-Paul · host Riva Jean-Paul

Have you been feeling more tired, emotional, or reflective lately?You’re not alone.This week we’re moving through the waning moon, the phase of the lunar cycle associated with release, reflection, and refinement. But this isn’t just any waning moon. We’ve just moved through the second eclipse of this eclipse season, and eclipses often accelerate change — bringing hidden patterns or relationship dynamics into the light.On top of that, we’re also navigating Mercury retrograde, a time traditionally associated with delays, miscommunications, and an overall slowing down of life’s pace.From a cyclical perspective, the waning moon mirrors autumn in the seasonal cycle and the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Research shows that during the luteal phase, rising progesterone can increase emotional sensitivity and introspection — supporting a natural process of reflection and evaluation before the next cycle begins.In other words, if you’re feeling the pull to slow down, create space, or let things go, your body may simply be following its natural rhythm.In this episode, we explore how the waning moon invites us to refine what truly matters, release what no longer resonates, and consciously create space before the next cycle begins.Because as we move toward the Spring Equinox and the next New Moon, energy will begin rising again — and life will naturally start filling up.The question is:What do you actually want to make space for?And what might be ready to be released?Trauma-Informed Donation-Based Meditation to Support You This Week🤲🏼🌹Somatic Breathing to Hear Your Body's WisdomSend us Fan Mail Our intro and outro song, Reclamation (Reborn), is an anthem of remembering.This song was created as a companion for the healing journey, especially for women reclaiming their voices, their rhythms, and their belonging in a world shaped by patriarchy.You’re invited to listen, feel, and let the music meet you wherever you are.Looking for support?
