WHO I AM | Strong Mind, Balance & Bold Moves – Guided Meditation Podcast by Jacky

After my own first session, I was shocked about the result, its effect on my mood, my body sensations, my presence and thoughts. From feeling heavy, loaded like a full cup and overwhelmed by my thought patterns to being calm, peaceful and instantly happier. That very night, I slept so much better than I had in months. And that was just a 25 minute session. What a blissful state. We repeated the se...

Your outside world has taken control over your life. By now, you have reached a point where all you can do, is react, trying to juggle and keep it all together.  From a rather subtle to an unbearable pressure expanding over your chest, shoulders, stomach. The urge to breathe deeply and light-heartedly while your throat feels like being strangled. Trying to get it all right when increasingly nothin...

Sometimes all it takes is a strong companion to step on the other side. In today’s episode of TAKE 5 we’ll introduce two friendly strangers: Curiosity and Fear. What they don’t know yet is that soon, they will be best friends in your life. Heck, what a bright new chapter! Use this, to transform your mindset ‘round and about your fears. All it takes is 5 minutes as we efficiently work on new health...

From the outside perspective, you have got it all together. If you’d ask anyone around you, people will tell you how impressed they are about the way you rock your everyday life, with everything you have got on your plate.  But what they don’t see, is the pack of unleashed Minions inside of you racing and babbling, creating chaos while trying to being on time, remembering all the things that neede...

Missing your spark? NO, you have not been robbed. If anything, you allowed for someone to take it away, but that's not what this is about here (we all need to start taking more responsibility for how we live our life) – BUT what if I told you, that within 5 minutes, I can help you get it back (your spark I mean)? TAKE 5 is a meditation special designed to bring you back to yourself, to your tr...

When would be a better time to start – than now? Meditating is not just ‘a new hobby’ or the next trend to follow. The ancient practice of meditation goes back as far as 5,000 BCE. Seeking to understand and connect with the sacred and mystical forces of life, and to transcend the limitations of human existence.  Of course, since then, the world has changed a bit. And still, living in a fast pacing...

Can you relate to that? While you are excited about this new path that you came on, proactively moving in a new direction, not exactly knowing the end destination but eager to discover all the great things and learnings on the way?  Well, right there, around the corner of from behind a tree or wall, it is waiting on you, lingering, slowly creeping up on you. Then holding onto your ankles or even w...

Here is my one and only recommendation for this meditation: GO ALL IN. As TAKE 5 is a simple, super short and spicy meditation, it is even more important to put everything else aside and direct all your senses to the audio. Trust me, you can do this!  What’s awaiting you on the other side?  Each and every episode of our TAKE 5 special will leave you recharged and centered, firstly. Once you’ve sta...

Are you sometimes craving space for yourself as much as I do? Simply for resting, recovering and breathing deeply , as deeply as the ocean. And to experience that freeing sensation that comes with that deep, nourishing breath. That peace.   Allow me to offer this space to you. Allow 5 minutes of your valuable time. A tiny break within your busy day and schedule to Pause and be, to feel and breathe...

What if there is an even more effective way to recharge than sleep?  Well I won’t fool you: not exactly more effective , but Yoga Nidra does offer unique benefits that complement or even deepen the effects of sleep — especially mental, emotional, and nervous system restoration . Compared to normal sleep, Yoga Nidra is a conscious state between waking and sleeping. Deeply relaxing the nervous syste...

It’s summer season , we explore and expand into everything all around us. Everybody seems to be living in the moment, enjoying, laughing, living. Everyone, but you?  Trust me, it has absolutely nothing to do with magic, talent or character. The difference between ‘them’ and you is your mind. Wiring your brain to the small things, that are happening in this exact moment all around you, refocusing o...

Of course, non of us would admit, that we only start, pull through or succeed if our system supports us. And yet, subconsciously the reaction of people in our closest environment impacts our motivation and excitement, especially in the long run. Letting others impact your belief and determination regarding your ideas, goals and dreams is not only poisonous, but incredibly human too.  The truth is...

“Change is constant. Are you flowing or fighting?” Don’t take my word for it. The most successful people and impactful leaders on this planet don’t just cope with change — they leverage adaptability as a core personal and strategic advantage . Here’s how they use it, intentionally and consistently:  Seeing change as an ally, not a threat, building a relationship with uncertainty and understanding...

Who would have thought, that having too many options can cause literally as many problems (if not more), than not having options. I want to state, that we are talking about ‘upper pyramid’ problems here and yet it’s such a relevant, widely spread issue that is constantly putting us into freeze mode.  Who can relate to being in a mall or clothing store, blank minded walking through like a zombie, p...

Don’t let your emotions dictate your actions, instead let your actions dictate your emotions! All jokes aside. I want you to become serious about finally starting to use your breath for every life situation. I want you to start realizing, that the single most important tool you need in order to be in control of your emotions, your life and your reactions is your breath.  So, when bad news comes al...

All of us, and I mean 100% of population have asked this question at least once in their lives–consciously or subconsciously: WHO AM I ? And also, WHY AM I HERE? What is my purpose in life?  This ultimate goal that a life’s purpose provides seems so worth longing for. Understanding where we are headed, giving structure, clarity, something to hold onto, when insecurity kicks in. While some people f...

Our breath is a powerful medicine that starts working the day we are born. Our breath has the ability to change everything for us, physically, mentally and spiritually. Unfortunately, no one teaches us how to use this tool properly. We breathe subconsciously, on autopilot, and by that, we miss out on so much vitality our system has to offer.  In this episode, we are learning and practice using a P...

Drop your weapons and be still!  What sounds like a phrase from an action movie is a shoutout for you to truly listen and question. Why do we reach for what we do when life gets overwhelming? In this episode, we explore the quiet (and sometimes unconscious) ways we learn to protect ourselves—whether through distraction, control, avoidance, or numbing. Coping mechanisms are neither good nor bad—the...

When emotions or sensations arise, you literally have 3 options: REACT COMPENSATE INTEGRATE And while the integration is only step two, it is the only way to become happier in your life. Imagine being able to have any type of sensation in your body arising, without the need to react to it, without the urge to compensate it.  So step 1 is to detach yourself from your emotion. Really embracing the f...

It’s not enough to only physically be connected to the ground, the earth. In order to establish stability, sense of security and belonging, but first and foremost self-connection, it takes awareness and your presence in this very moment.  Especially when feeling dissociated, spaced out or overwhelmed, a grounding practice can help you balance out and center yourself. So yes, you can absolutely use...

Perfectionism often wears a clever disguise—appearing as ambition, high standards, or drive. But beneath the surface, it can feel like a relentless inner critic, leaving us stuck in cycles of self-doubt, procrastination, or burnout. In this gentle and empowering episode, we’ll swiftly explore what perfectionism really is, where it comes from, and how it shows up in our lives. For the most part tho...

“Just take it easy”, literally seems so easy, when people say it. They’re not dealing with that but load of fudge that I am dealing with. Plus, I can not even remember the last time I really completely felt ‘at ease’, free to breathe, laugh, relax.  Time to attend to that right NOW. Don’t you also think that life is way to short to always focus on doing the things you have to do, most of which you...
