In this enriching episode of The Inspired Yogi, host welcomes Lara J. Day, creator of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle Deck. Lara shares her powerful winter solstice practice that invites us to step away from compulsive holiday consumerism, sugar, alcohol, and bright lights, and instead embrace the quiet darkness, stillness, and fertile potential of midwinter. 

Discover how the 13 Sacred Nights helps you draw oracle guidance (animals, herbs, and crystals) for each month ahead, plant dream seeds in the “womb of winter,” and create a conscious blueprint for the coming year. Lara also dives into her unique Neurogenic Qigong practice — a blend of medical Qigong energy work and Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (neurogenic tremors) — explaining how the body’s natural shaking mechanism can release deep-held tension, trauma, and chronic patterns. 

Additional highlights include the sacred history of the number 13, the rebranding of Christmas traditions, the importance of ritual in shaping culture, and practical ways to align with nature’s rhythms for greater well-being and human potential. Whether you’re seeking meaningful alternatives to commercial holidays or curious about intuitive tools and somatic healing, this conversation offers inspiration and accessible pathways to deeper connection.
