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

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 not deciding to quit the ride. 

Analogy aside, challenges can be huge sometimes or it can be hundreds of small challenges (like trying to record a podcast in a busy, noisy environment – sorry for that) coming together as one big, black cloud of storm that’s trying to tear you down. At least, that’s what it feels like. Yeh, the Universe is mighty, but its intention is never about tearing you down. Instead it wants to help you grow stronger and become a powerful and radiant version of yourself. That is why, the greater your purpose, the more challenges you will be facing, as there is something so much bigger waiting where you are headed. 

Join me in learning how to face your challenges with honor and gratitude.

It is the moments that you COME BACK, that will get you where you want to go.

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 seeking after the feeling (as I couldn’t get close enough in the physical relation). What would it take for me to become weightless, light and cloud-like? 

Through this exercise, we not only leave behind all our worries, but also sort through those weights (as I like to call them). And by stepping away and find a different angle, a different perspective onto them, we also get a chance to decide with a clearer mind, what’s actually relevant, necessary and worth keeping so you don’t have to continue where you’ve left off, but will probably be left with less weight overall.

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 battery capacity or worst of it all, they shut themselves down and update in moments when we absolutely don’t need it at all (typically right before that important presentation/meeting).

Analogy aside, to avoid this type of chaos in our brains (in a span from overwhelming to complete shutdown) I’ve got a wonderful practice for you. Once you press start, don’t think too much, just go along with it until the end. 

Afterwards you will:

>> feel calmer and more relaxed

>> find that your brain will be less chaotic and fuzzy

>> notice a lower heartrate and probably feel less overwhelmed

>> detect clear thoughts and will be able to sort your goals for this year

>> leave with a smile, a positive mindset and motivation to take your first steps to action

Please share your thoughts and goals with me if you like. If you require additional guidance, connect with me on Instagram. I am offering a 4 weeks program to support you break free from the spiral downward.

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 the right thing to do? What if I don’t have all the information? What if settle for one, and it turns out to be a disaster, then I’ll be stuck with that…..

Does that spiral seem familiar? 

Well, first of all: These are all valuable information as you are the type of person, who reflects, who is considerate about the effect of your choices on your future and the impact on others and have probably gone down some troublesome roads in the past, which means your systems wants to protect us from facing that sh*t again. 

Now, secondly: What if it all goes right and it will be the best decision you’ll have ever made?

Use this meditation to solve urgent puzzles or simply practice to equip with some smart tools to make future decision with more ease and certainty.

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:

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 head first into new adventures and in order to fully immerse into them, we need to empty our cup best as we can. Part of which is leaving old thoughts, fears and emotions behind. And so this episode will be your pre-goal setting run to ‘take out the trash’ (if that paints a picture). Together we will take a closer look at all the stuff you can close off, leave behind and sincerely DON’T WANT to take into the new year (again).

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 a journey that will have you gain a new perspective on your day-to-day life, your mentality and routines. Now, not meaning there is anything you urgently need to change. In order to keep evolving, we simply intentionally question current states on a regular basis to be able to review and reflect with an outside perspective. 

Today’s journey is inspired by the amazing books of John Strelecky and particularly the Big Five for Life (highly recommended, *unpaid recommendation). 

Yoga Nidra is generally practiced lying on your back, but if this is unavailable to you today or overall not as comfortable, please adjust to your own needs and find any other position that suits you best.

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 are great, to wind down, do balance out etc. At times though, we need a wakeup call to take all the knowledge, all the tools we’ve got and actually get to work. 

Why is this episode so powerful? 

It’s called mind-body connection. We foster a deeper connection between mind and body, allowing you to notice and release physical tension. It taps into both the physical and mental processes that are essential for soling problems. Through this type of mediation you will gain:

And that’s all on top of simply getting some steps in – BOOM, right there.

So swap your regular tunes for this on your walk today, you won’t regret it!

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 glass of misfits (over the past days or weeks even) and when that last drop hits, there comes the overflow.  

Seems familiar? WHAT IF there was a way to prevent these uncontrolled outbursts, making you the boss of your emotions and help you throughout your daily rollercoaster?

Warning: Of course this only regulates ‘the symptoms’, it doesn’t remove the causes – which means, it is still immensely important to research on the things that cause emotional stress and find solutions here (attack the root, the cause of the problem). So this practice really if more of a preventative balance routine, when noticing that feelings have started bottling up. 

Obviously, this means preparing for potential feelings to come up during the practice, so at best, you may find a secure, private environment, or any place, that makes you feel comfortable. Even by yourself still, allowing to let things go may mean a big deal of opening up, I’d like to invite you to just focus on your breathing during this practice while simply listening, and see what happens. 

And don’t be disappointed, if the big moment of release of outburst is not happening right away. Maybe it’s not time, maybe it’s not the day for it yet. Keep on practicing.

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 right away. 

Because great news is, that, the same way as you have (most likely subconsciously) trained your brain in the past, you have the ability to reprogram it starting today!

At the end of our meditation you will have learned the tools to do it and what’s even more special about this technique: you can 100% customize it to YOU. No stereotypes needed. All you have to do from there is repeat it over and over. Make it a habit, like brushing your teeth in the morning or drinking your coffee. I promise you will see first results in no time. 

With that being said, find a comfortable space and let’s begin.
