In this episode I muse on:

~the medicine of the crescent lunar phase, persephone/the high priestess, normalizing + unshaming expansion + contraction cycles, especially with neurodiversity.

~contraction does not mean failure, conversely it is proof of expansion. 

~contraction is for rest, recovery, energetic recuperation,  and analysis, not for shame/self-doubt/quitting/permanent failure. 

~expansion/contraction is actually a more generative rhythm than baseline stability or linear progress. 

~cyclicality has its own stability and predictability even if it is more dynamic than something linear and stagnant. 

~with expansion/contraction it’s important to look for progress not in the short term, but over the long trajectory. 

~the high priestess/the persephone myth holds the energetic of the crescent moon. 

~the crescent moon is a mysterious liminal space between the 0/Fool and the 1/Magician. 

~the crescent moon has the energetic of pendulating between the safety of the womb and the risk of expanding identity

~the energetic of how the generator (HD) moves through life is a stair-step curve, very similar to the expansion/contraction rhythm. 

~ASD/PDA people (and many neurodiverse ppl) will naturally experience expansion/contraction cycles because of their unique nervous systems.
