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

Once it starts taking over your life, it is time to take action to balance out the speed of your passion. Looking at the definition of “passion”, it is said to be a strong, barely controllable emotion , an intense desire or enthusiasm for something – or, if that’s something you believe in – the suffering and death of Jesus. Sounds almost cruel, if you ask me.  In our society, passion, as positivel...

I stood at the edge of the hilltop, my breath heavy from the climb. Below me, the town stretched out like a miniature model—cars inching along roads, people moving through their daily routines, unaware that I was watching from above. Up here, the world looked different. The problems that had felt so overwhelming an hour ago seemed smaller, like scattered pebbles instead of towering walls. I imagin...

Prepare for a new, dynamic and energetic week with this wholesome meditation that comes along with a nice little gratitude practice. Even if your day is packed, even if you have to sneak into the bathroom to take out those 15 minutes in peace and quiet, go along with it as it will be incredibly beneficial for yo...

As little as 10 minutes can make all the change on your day. Spoil yourself with this short little diddy to step into a new perspective. The beauty of self care is not a matter of time and surely is not a matter of selfishness. It is about filling up your jar to then be able to serve others – as you probably do for most of the remaining time of the day.  Even if you sleep through the duration of t...

3-4 times more efficient than sleep, Yoga Nidra works miracles on your health and well-being through supporting the process of cell regeneration. Meaning that, especially in stressful times and phases that demand so much of your energy, this practice will help you gather your strength and refocus in a shorter amount of time.  Activating the parasympathetic nervous system, it helps shift the body f...

How to stop disappointing yourself.  What researchers call the “intention-action gap” shows that only about 30-50 % of people who intend to make change actually follow through. In addition to that, it also shows that people often take 6 months or more from first thinking about a change to actually taking action.  Uff, what a waste of time, isn’t it? 6 months full of mind racking overthinking, walk...

Imagine a life where you wake up each day without the weight of rigid expectations—where you embrace the unknown with an open heart and a peaceful mind. Living without expectations doesn’t mean abandoning goals or aspirations; rather, it’s about releasing the need for control and allowing life to unfold naturally. Find out what (else) happens when you let go of expectations and learn how to find j...

A Walking Meditation that will get you step by step into a genuinely positive mindset and provides you with actions to get started with right away.  Please note: this is more of a doing rather than a listening episode, but do not fear my friend.

You read that right. You can’t get it wrong and yet so many of us are not doing it right. Sneak peak: A guided meditation to (re)discover your own uniqueness, why it is so important to always come back to it, and why (sometimes) it can be so difficult to do so.  If you require additional guidance or find yourself left with unanswered questions regarding this practice, please connect with me on Ins...

This message is so important to me, I feel that we are going to need a whole series on the topic. I oftentimes speak of life as a rollercoaster ride (would you agree with me on that?). As part of the rollercoaster there are ups and downs, hell sometimes, there is a dead drop (freakin’ scary, right?). Same as on a rollercoaster, after a fall, there will always be a way up again, that is, if you are...

Something I always wanted to learn, when I was little. As I used to watch birds, airplanes and butterflies fly, I never understood why I wasn’t capable of taking off into the air to watch everything from a top angle. Back than it wasn’t so much for the change of perspective but rather the feeling of flying.  As an adult, I consider the gift of flying more important than ever which is why I started...

Our mind is like a computer – it is a genius tool, doing so much work for us every single second of the day, even when we sleep. Do you know how we are supposed to shut our computers down regularly, daily even I believe? Well hands down, who really does that in times of laptops and constantly buzzing smartphones? So after a while our computers begin to function slower, they tend to loose their bat...

How much time do you spend on a decision. And I’m not just talking about smaller, daily choices between coffee or tea, walk or drive or what to wear to work this morning. What about more severe decisions, the ones that (seem to) influence your life majorly?  It can be dreading to go back and forth between the options, that is, if you already know the answer. What is it, that I truly want, what’s t...

There is a golden ticket behind that Play button to this episode. All it takes is a leap of trust as to where it will take you. But since you’re already here, it tells me, that you might need a break right now, and that my friend is surely in for you.  And here is some more information for after listening to this episode: If you live in a world where time is a constantly lacking good, consider the...

Starting next year, I’ll quit smoking, I’ll find the love of my life, I’ll finally quit that job I hate, I will loose weight, I’ll start eating more healthy….. The beginning of a new year has a mesmerizing effect on our willpower to finally change all the things we are not content with in our lives – well, at least for the moment we set our goals usually towards the end of a year.  Before jumping...

Have you ever consciously visited your subconsciousness? The road to it is called Yoga Nidra. Through this form of meditation you will reach a state inbetween the depths of your subconsciousness and sleep as you know it. As a result, 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra are considered as restorative as 3h of regular sleep (what??!). YES, but not only that. If you allow to let me in, I will also guide you onto...

Here is your wakeup call. Picture me grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you, that’s what this special meditation is going to do today! I highly recommend you to be outside walking, but even if you don’t have the privilege today, grab your headphones, find space to walk within your room and don’t miss out on the chance to finally get into action for real.  Because let’s face it. Meditations...

The day starts off normally and then suddenly, there is this one comment, this one thing someone throws at you, making you, without a warning, burst out into your emotions. What the hell just happened? It wasn’t even that big of a deal, was it? – Honestly, 90% of the time, it is not that one particular situation causing your reaction. Much rather, there has been a series of things filling up your...

Over the past years you have been training your brain, through repetitive thoughts and beliefs. As every outcome starts in your brain, those thoughts and beliefs have led you to where you are today.  I know, this is gonna come across pretty strong and direct, but if you don’t like where you are at today or you simply want to change the way you speak to yourself and others, listen to this episode r...

Your heart is your life source, and it is also your guide, especially when you feel stressed out, overloaded and immensely tense. When resting the body and quieting the mind, we can begin to listen to its beat, its sweet sweet sound. Tuning into and becoming aware of its rhythm allows us to connect and align with it – in most situations, like feeling lost in our system, our outer world or having o...

In the yogic practice we engage a lot in reaching a state of union. Basically this refers to uniting body, mind and soul. Same as through an intense gym session, a long outdoor run or any other favorite sports activity, we engage our body, push our heart rate and demand physical body work in order to relax and let go. Let go off stress, tension, tightness and to find balance at the same time.  Thr...
