    Returning the Soul to the Solstice

    Send us Fan Mail 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.  Find Lara’s Oracle deck and learn more at LaraJDay.com.

    Addiction & Near-Death to Spiritual Awakening at 72: A Heartfelt Conversation

    Send us Fan Mail In this deeply moving conversation on The Inspired Yogi, licensed mental health counselor, Reiki practitioner, hypnotherapist, and energy healer Ronnie Figueroa opens up about his remarkable path of transformation. Growing up in challenging circumstances in Paterson, New Jersey, navigating addiction, a near-death experience, and years of inner struggle, Ronnie shares how he rediscovered a profound inner connection—often called Spirit, Source, or the true Self—that sustained him even amid life's chaos. Drawing wisdom from Viktor Frankl's experiences in Nazi concentration camps and Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, Ronnie emphasizes the importance of staying present, bringing distractions and insecurities into awareness, and cultivating vulnerability, risk-taking, and trust. He introduces his simple yet powerful practices, including a heart-centered breathing technique and his four-fold way of living, while stressing that anyone—at any age—can heal, break through limitations, and access lasting peace and joy. Ronnie also discusses his monthly Energy Healing Gatherings (held via Zoom on the first Sunday of the month) and his client-centered approach that blends holistic tools like meditation, pranayama, and intuitive guidance to help people trust the wisdom within. This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that in turbulent times, returning to our inner connection is the key to personal healing and collective shift. A must-listen for anyone seeking authenticity in spirituality, overcoming past traumas, or building genuine community in 2026 and beyond. Ronnie's story proves it's never too late to live from a place of deep inner peace.  Connect with Ronnie  Website: ronniefigueroa.com  Connect: Join Ronnie's Energy Healing Gatherings by emailing thehi31111@gmail.com for the monthly Zoom link.  Connect with The Inspired Yogi Website Instagram FaceBook YouTube Email: JimtheYogi@gmail.com Intro/Outro music compliments of Machine Poetry  @Themachinepoetry  Support the show

    2026 According to Psychic Medium Dallisa Hocking: Collapse, New Realities & High Frequency Living

    Send us Fan Mail In this eye-opening episode of The Inspired Yogi, 5th-generation psychic medium Dallisa Hocking (founder of Spirit & Spark) reveals why you don’t need to outsource your power to anyone else — you already have everything you need to tune into your own psychic abilities and intuitive guidance.Dallisa shares the exact practices that transformed her from a matchmaker and dating coach into a professional medium in 2015 — and that she now teaches thousands of students worldwide. Discover how to raise your frequency and become your own antenna using binaural beats (the “secret ingredient” from her life-changing retreat with Sacred Acoustics), the powerful Morning Pages practice from The Artist’s Way, and simple alternatives like Kirtan, humming, or throat-chakra activation for those who feel blocked when they try to journal. She also explains the critical role of belief — why doubting your own gifts is the #1 thing that blocks intuitive downloads — and how to build a real two-way relationship with your spirit team by asking direct questions and trusting what comes through.But then the conversation takes a surprising turn.Dallisa channels detailed predictions for 2026 and the years ahead: the Great Dismantling of major systems (healthcare, education, economy, and more), an emerging timeline split between those choosing sovereign, off-grid, community-based living and those leaning into AI, robotics, and digital currency, plus coming challenges around fuel shortages, supply chains, and economic shifts. She explains why 2026–2027 will feel especially “loud,” why many souls chose to be here for this exact time, and how the next several years will reshape daily life by the early 2030s.Most importantly, she gives clear, empowering guidance on what you need to do right now to be ready: stay in high frequency, cultivate personal sovereignty, build local community resilience, and stop outsourcing your power — so you can move through the changes as a Wayshower instead of getting pulled into fear or chaos.Whether you’re brand new to psychic development or already on the path, this episode blends practical tools for awakening your own intuition with honest, forward-looking insight that will leave you feeling inspired and prepared. #2026Predictions #PsychicAbilities #DallisaHocking #GreatDismantling #TimelineSplit #RaiseYourFrequency #SpiritualAwakening #IntuitionDevelopment #PsychicMedium #Wayshower Connect with Dallisa Free Gift & Website: https://spiritandspark.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAtgAkuewh2CK6T2BscEXg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dallisahocking Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dallisa Connect with The Inspired Yogi Website Instagram FaceBook YouTube Email: JimtheYogi@gmail.com Intro/Outro music compliments of Machine Poetry  @Themachinepoetry  Support the show
