Episode notes

In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I speak with Lara J. Day, a Neurogenic Qigong practitioner and the author of one of my personal favorite annual tools for practical clarity and mystical magic: The 13 Holy Nights Oracle Deck. Lara takes us through the transformative wisdom of the 13 Holy Nights, an ancient solstice-based practice that offers a profound way to align with the rhythms of nature, reflect on the past year, and plant dream seeds for the year ahead. She also shares how this 13-day journey begins on the winter solstice — the longest night of the year — and how each day provides spiritual guidance for the months ahead through oracle card readings, journaling, and mindful presence.

Together we delve into the insights from her research into Christmas traditions and the historical significance of the winter solstice, highlighting its universal importance across cultures. Lara connects this practice to ancient solstice sites, showing how it helps us reconnect with nature's wisdom and cosmic rhythms. She also discusses her healing work which blends Medical Qigong with Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) to release stored tension and promote well-being. This episode combines ancient traditions, modern healing, and soulful guidance to help set the stage for a more intentional and connected new year. This deck and ritual are something I look forward to every winter because the magic that unfolds truly takes my breath away throughout the entire year to come. Trust me, you will want to try it!
