Body Wisdom Rising is a podcast for people navigating deep change — awakenings, identity shifts, healing, and the sense that the old ways of living no longer work. We’re living in a time of collective disillusionment and awakening. Many are being asked to slow down, feel more, and re-orient their lives — often without support from systems that were never designed for this kind of transformation. This podcast offers a grounded way to make sense of these experiences by reconnecting to the body as teacher, the Earth as stabilizer, ancestral wisdom as context, and spiritual support rooted in lived experience. I’m Alyssa Stefanson, Somatic and Ancestral Healing Guide, and host of Body Wisdom Rising. Each episode weaves together somatic healing, nervous system regulation, ancestral remembrance, and earth-based wisdom to support personal and collective healing. We speak honestly about initiation, death-and-rebirth cycles, trauma, addiction, disconnection, and what becomes possible when familiar identities fall away and something deeper begins to emerge. If you’re navigating change and looking for a grounded, embodied way to understand what’s happening — you’re in the right place. Body Wisdom Rising — where remembering becomes medicine.

    The Healing Power of Sound Frequencies and Sacred Landscapes with Gabriel Logan Braun

    Sound you can feel changes how you heal. Alyssa sat down with sound healer and world musician Gabriel Logan Braun to explore Sonic Womb, a fully improvised journey that blends voice, handpan, Ngoni, didgeridoo, harmonium, crystal bowls, and live looping to regulate the nervous system and restore a felt sense of safety. Gabriel shares his path from a teenage dark night to bhakti-inspired practice, mentorship, and a decade of offering trauma-sensitive sound therapy in recovery centres, retreat spaces, and beyond. Together, they map the science and the soul: how slower rhythms and low frequencies support a shift from sympathetic arousal into parasympathetic ease; why alpha and theta brainwaves invite calm focus and liminal rest; and how vagus nerve activation, mindful breath, and gentle vibration reshape our stress response. We also dig into somatic release—those twitches, shivers, and waves of emotion that signal the body is completing what it once had to hold—and the role of safe containers in allowing that process to unfold. We pair heat with rest through Primal Fire, Gabriel’s movement framework that stokes Agni with Qigong, dynamic breath work, primal locomotion, and freeform dance, then lands in Sonic Womb for integration. And we travel to Sedona’s red rock country, where ancient iron-rich formations and year-round creeks offer a natural amplifier for presence and ritual. If you’re curious to experience Gabriel’s work, start with the Sonic Womb album, the Wildfire EP, or his new hip-hop track Breaking Through the Static—and, if you feel called, explore our intimate April retreat in Sedona, where Gabriel will co-facilitate with live sound journeys. If this conversation resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs nervous system support, and leave a five-star review so more people can find these tools.

    Why the Winter Solstice Is the Most Powerful Manifestation Portal and How to Work with the 13 Sacred Nights

    Darkness isn’t a void to outrun; it’s the womb of everything new. As the winter solstice brings the longest night, we explore how this pause in nature invites a profound reset of body, mind, and spirit. We trace the roots of solstice traditions across cultures, why rituals like Yule fires and evergreens endure, and how later institutions rewired us to fear stillness. Through a grounded, nervous system lens, we transform vague “manifestation” into something practical: building capacity so what we call in can actually be held and sustained. We spend time in the magic dark, that threshold where old identities soften and new forms gather strength before they’re visible. The 13 sacred nights become a gentle rhythm for integration rather than a productivity sprint. You’ll learn why fatigue and heightened emotion at year’s end are signals, not flaws; how intuitive whispers get drowned by overstimulation; and why practices like singing, crafting, and baking regulate the system and return scattered energy to the body. We also reclaim the quiet power of thirteen—aligned with lunar cycles, water, and tides—as a compass for cyclical living. To make this real, I share a step-by-step solstice ritual you can begin right away: prepare from December 21 to 24, use a single beeswax candle after sundown, journal what your body reveals, track dreams and synchronicities, and tend a living altar with cedar, dried orange, and cinnamon. At the close of the 13 nights, simmer your herbs and offer the steam, the scent, and the water to your home or the earth as a way of marking completion and welcoming what’s next. If you’re ready to pause, integrate, and let the year ahead emerge from presence—not pressure—this conversation will meet you where you are. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs permission to rest, and leave a five-star review so more listeners can find these grounded tools. Join me on Instagram at Wild Feminine Rise to follow along as we move through the sacred nights together.

    Timeline Jumping: Collapse Old Timelines and Open Portals to New Ones

    Transformation rarely fails for lack of effort; it stalls when our internal baseline stays the same. Alyssa takes you inside the real mechanics of a timeline shift—how identity, nervous system patterns, and ancestral loyalties quietly script your choices—and shows why mindset alone keeps you looping familiar results. We explore how somatic practices teach your body new safety, how lineage work dissolves invisible contracts to stay small, and how community provides the co‑regulation that turns insight into durable change. You’ll hear a candid look at collapse, chaos, and the awkward in‑between where the old self no longer fits and the new one isn’t stable yet. Instead of forcing outcomes, we lean into pattern interrupts, embodied rituals, and environment design—retreats, land‑based ceremony, and group containers—that interrupt routine, widen capacity, and make clarity actionable. Along the way, we map the early signs of a real shift: lower tolerance for misalignment, cleaner decisions, deeper conversations, and opportunities that the old identity couldn’t hold. If you’re noticing tests—familiar jobs, past partners, soothing habits—this conversation reframes them as thresholds. You don’t need permission from family to heal family patterns; you need practices that update your emotional baseline and a circle that reflects your becoming. By the end, you’ll have a practical lens for choosing growth over comfort, regulating through uncertainty, and anchoring a future that matches who you’re becoming rather than who you’ve been.

    The Death—Rebirth Portal And 2026: What This New Era Is Awakening

    The ground just shifted beneath our feet, and for many of us 2025 made sure we felt it. We break down why the Snake Year felt like a ruthless audit—identity shedding, relationship endings, and long-buried lineage patterns rising—and how that clearing sets the stage for a rare ignition in 2026. With the Fire Horse energy arriving alongside an eclipse and the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at zero Aries, we explore what “make the vision real” looks like in practice: less spiritual theory, more embodied leadership and brave, proportionate action. We connect the big sky to daily life. Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus entering Gemini, and Chiron moving into Taurus sketch a new terrain: decentralised systems, leaps in communication and education, and collective healing around value, land, money, and the body. Rather than choosing between doom narratives and “love and light” bypass, we take the middle path—staying informed, regulating our nervous systems, and building the new while acknowledging what’s breaking. If the descent brought your oldest fears to the surface, the void is your compost heap and the rebirth is quieter than cinema: fewer triggers, clearer boundaries, more honest choices. You’ll get a practical map for the death–rebirth cycle—descent, void, rebirth—and somatic tools to help you move through each phase. We share grief work with water, mobilising anger safely, simple daily anchors, and accessible rituals to invite ancestral support with sincerity and reciprocity. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s capacity. When you can hold uncertainty without grasping, the Fire Horse momentum becomes rideable, not overwhelming. If you’re ready to move from shedding to sovereignty, tune in, bring your journal, and decide your next honest step. If this conversation lands, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick five-star review to help more people find the medicine.

    The Serpent Year: Why 2025 Felt Like Death & What 2026 is Awakening

    The year didn’t just test our limits—it stripped what no longer fit. Alyssa unpacks why 2025 felt like a relentless shedding and how those contractions signal a larger collective turn toward embodied, heart-led living. Through a raw story of collapse and awakening—from addiction’s edge to a great-horned owl that wouldn’t look away—we explore how synchronicities speak, why the body must lead, and what it takes to turn a spiritual opening into a grounded life. We map the terrain with practical language: the three types of awakening (external, psychological, spiritual), the seven‑year wave patterns many are feeling, and why so much of the heaviness this year carried ancestral and karmic threads. Expect a clear bridge from insight to action: somatic practices that build nervous system capacity, daily rituals that create safety, and ancestral work that reconnects you to the lower chakras—belonging, stability, and instinct. As signals intensify, we trade spiritual hype for devotion, depth, and containers that hold what’s rising. Looking ahead, we sense fast-moving energy in 2026 and a shift toward “spirituality with a spine”—less escapism, more embodied service. Think grounded activism, clearer boundaries, and practices you actually keep. The liminal void you may be in now isn’t a setback; it’s the fertile space where integration takes root so momentum doesn’t unmoor you. If you’ve felt alone, behind, or overwhelmed by signs you can’t explain, this conversation offers language, context, and a path home to your body. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs the reminder, and leave a five‑star review to help the message travel. Ready to go deeper? Check the show notes for the ancestral healing program and one‑to‑one support, and tell us: what practice keeps you rooted right now?
