Sacred Self-Care: Aligning with the Moon

What happens when your body notices stress long before your mind does?In this second episode of our Embodied Boundaries & Self-Trust cycle, we continue exploring the quiet ways we disconnect from ourselves by looking at how stress often begins showing up physically before we consciously recognize something is wrong.The Waxing Crescent Moon invites us to begin building awareness, and in this episode we explore how learning to trust ourselves often begins by simply listening more closely to what our body has been trying to communicate all along.As always, this episode includes a grounding meditation, journal prompt, self-care practice, and a moon-aligned ritual to help you work intentionally with this phase.Edited by Andy Estrada.Sign up for our newsletter to receive journal reflections & self-care actions in your inbox every New and Full Moon.Follow us on Instagram
