Most of us try to heal and grow by pushing harder. Lara J. Day says it works the other way: slow down, get quiet, and let the body and the seasons do their work. In this episode, Lindsay talks with Lara about her path from years of chronic illness to Chinese medicine, qigong, and the tremor-release work that now shapes her teaching. They cover why we fear the dark, what’s wrong with “love and light” on its own, and how the winter solstice is a time to plant dream seeds. Lara also walks through the 13 Sacred Nights practice step by step. It’s a way to set your intentions for the year by doing them, not just writing a list.
