What does it really mean to feel centered in your body and to feel through the heart?

In this episode, I am joined by three members of the Revealing Wisdom Collective (RWC) to explore centering power, nervous system regulation, and the subtle yet profound shift from an overwhelmed mind into the wisdom of the heart.

We share how somatic practices, heart awareness, and conscious community support a deeper sense of safety, clarity, and connection, especially in these times of chaos and uncertainty.

Centering power is the first of the six gateways we explore in the Revealing Wisdom Collective, a weekly experience dedicated to expanding nervous system capacity and embodied power.

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, soften, enjoy these three amazing women and touch into what awakens in you as you listen.

Today, we’re exploring the intersection of mystery and neuroscience, what Lara J. Day and I call Magic. And when I talk about magic, I don’t mean illusion or fantasy. I mean the felt sense of aliveness that arises when we attune to the unseen layers of reality: synchronicities, symbols, and the subtle ways life communicates with us when we slow down enough to listen.

To help us dive into the magic that opens specifically at this time of year, I invited a special guest: Lara J. Day, author of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle and creator of Neurogenic Qigong. Lara is on a mission to reclaim the hyper-commercialized holidays and return the Soul to the Solstice.

In this episode, we explore the 13 Sacred Nights ritual, an ancient winter solstice practice: what it is, how it works, and how its magic can shift the way your brain and nervous system perceive the world. Lara shares 17 years of personal experience with the practice, along with stories of synchronicity, prophetic dreams, animal symbolism, and why this ritual has become one of her greatest teachers in cultivating presence, awe, and deep attunement with the unseen world.

If you want a more intentional, soulful way to envision and plant seeds for 2026, you’ll want to listen before December 21st. Lara shares exactly how to prepare, what to expect, and how to work with the energies of each sacred night beginning on December 24th.

Inside the Episode:

(00:00) How do we define the experience of magic in everyday life?

(03:32) Why magic is a natural neurobiological state

(05:07) The origins of the 13 Sacred (aka Holy) Nights ritual

(09:55) Solstice as the New Moon of the solar year

(13:20) Understanding the practice and structure of the 13 Sacred Nights

(20:32) Receiving and blueprinting your next year during the Sacred Nights

(25:43) Symbolism of animal signs, dreams, and repeated Oracle cards

(36:04) What it means to co-create with the future as a creator with agency

(41:01) Darkness as a teacher and Sacred Nights as a nervous system reset

(47:14) How to live with the practice throughout the year

(52:40) Small structural habits to weave the sacred into daily life

(56:05) Reclaiming holidays and rituals in modern life

Lara has a one-year program coming up that kicks off with the Sacred Holy nights practice + a year of accountability and support to watch in community how each of our blueprints unfolds. She also has a beautiful oracle deck called the 13 Sacred Nights.

In this episode, I take you into the rich terrain that I have been living inside for much of this past year. I speak about how our biology and nervous systems were not designed for the amount of input, data, and stimulation we are attempting to metabolize each day. This often leads many of us to choose behaviors that help numb the overwhelm.

It is a smart strategy, but it comes with a cost. Numbing pulls us out of our own lives. It creates distance in our relationships and leaves us with a quiet loneliness beneath our strength, alongside a deeper ache that keeps calling for our attention.

This episode is the origin story of the Revealing Wisdom Collective, a weekly sanctuary where we strengthen the nervous system, awaken the deeper self, and let buried wisdom rise.

Inside the Collective, we move through one Power Gateway at a time over the course of two full months, following a deliberate rhythm designed to soften the mind, loosen subconscious limiting beliefs, and integrate new truths into the body and bones. Doors for this membership offering opens January 13, 2026 - join anytime and catch up on through recorded sessions.

Inside the Episode:

• the loneliness that can stay hidden even when we are surrounded by people
• why numbing is an innocent biological response, not a personal failing
• the cost of living in a world that moves far faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle
• how subtle freeze states disconnect us from intuition, aliveness, and self trust
• the personal journey that required me to pause, slow down, and radically tend to my own system
• how the Revealing Wisdom Collective was born from that deep winter of listening

A look at the Six Power Gateways inside the Collective

Centering Power
The power that returns you to your inner axis, the quiet, unwavering ground beneath every emotion, every choice, every storm.

Relational Power
The ability to stay rooted in yourself while meeting another with presence, transparency, and clean energetic boundaries.

Self Acceptance Power
The liberating capacity to stop waging war against yourself and to meet your humanity with tenderness, truth, and self regard.

Wild Power
The sovereign, undomesticated intelligence that dissolves internalized hierarchy, obedience, and shame so your original vitality can rise.

Intuitive Power
The subtle inner channel where truth arrives before thought, the deep knowing that guides you through mystery, timing, and right action.

Erotic Power
The sacred life force that animates your creativity, desire, vitality, and full spectrum expression, not only sexual, but inherently alive.

If you have been longing for a place where you do not have to hold everything alone, where your tenderness and your power are both welcome, the Revealing Wisdom Collective was created for you.
