What if the doorway to your next creative vision isn’t effort…

…but deep rest?

In this replay conversation, I sit down with Jill — known as “The Stress Whisperer” — to explore the subtle, powerful practice of Yoga Nidra and the brain states that allow insight, healing, and creativity to emerge naturally.

Most of us spend our days in beta brainwave activity — focused, thinking, planning.

Useful? Absolutely.

But creative breakthroughs, metaphysical insight, and deep nervous system repair don’t arise from mental effort alone.

They emerge in slower brainwave states — particularly alpha and theta — where the mind softens and the body leads.

If you feel creatively blocked…
If your intuition feels distant…
If you’re craving a more embodied spiritual experience…

You may not need more information.

You may need access to a different state of consciousness.

Yoga Nidra reminds us that vision doesn’t come from pushing harder.

It comes from entering the quiet space where life is already moving

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?

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.
