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

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 one of these super high demanding days, this is already life saving. 

In a regular, more preventative practice though, you may add the layer of intention, which will help you to go another step further. You will discover that through awareness and dedicated breathing, you have the power to proactively calm your heart rate. 

For now though, all you need to do, is press play, breath and listen. Let me know if this practice has helped you to reconnect with yourself!

Now find a comfortable space and let's begin.

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. 

Through that physical relief, we support our mind to find calm and ease, to quieten and release thoughts that no longer serve us. Finally that serve and nourishes our soul. Union, as the ultimate goal of discipline and daily habits. 

With today’s practice of Progressive Muscle Relaxation you will find an even deeper level of relaxation. By repeating regularly, this results in improved sleep quality, promotes resilience throughout your day, maintains a calmer heart rate and decreases your overall stress level. 

As you can see – this is pure gold, baby!

I recommend using this at the very end of your day, right before sleeping. Not only will it help you reducing your screen time as you will not need to touch your phone for the last half hour, but also, you might find yourself being slid over more easily into falling asleep. Set a sleep timer on 30 minutes, and let’s get started.

What if you could just snap your fingers and find yourself at the beach for a full day of rest, relaxation and recharge? No flights, no sunscreen, no waiting needed. We’ve got you covered!

All that you need to unwind and dive into with all your senses. Support this sensual journey by lighting a candle or inscense, sit or lay on a big beach towel even and definitely kick off your shoes for this one.

You never knew you needed this, until you’ve tried it. 

Equalizing your two hemispheres of the brain, aligning left and right side of the body – physically as well as mentally this breathing technique provides and ultimate level of balancing, calming and focussing effect right from your first session. 

Sounds great?

Well, this is only the beginning. Throughout longterm practices, it reduces anxiety, improves your sleep quality (yes, baby!), creates emotional stability and promotes resilience, boosts your immune functions, helps you concentrate and enhances your overall respiratory health. BOOM!

This episode provides a brief introduction to the way of using this technique. Based on that you can practice as long as you like, though I’m assuring you, that as little as 5 minutes of exercise each day will start showing its magic.

Do you have a shield? And what does it look like?

Surely you've been in the same situation as me: There is this great opportunity ahead of you. It's new, it's one of the 'once in a lifetime' chances, it serves your big vision and you can feel it is exactly what you want (although you are scared), because you can feel the bare excitement rising within your body. YESSS!

Yet it is too soon to tell whether it will work out, so better don't get too hyped at this point. You might end up sincerely disappointed, if this isn't going to work out. See, this is your brain manipulating. Instead there is such great value in using this positive thrill. After all, how is putting yourself down and trying to play it cool and shallow going to help you.

You will always work harder, send better signals, manifest and inspire others, when being in your positive energy. Don't you think it's time we quit putting up our shield to prevent disappointment and instead learn how to shoot that rocket into the universe and make anything happen?

This way, we won't need any shield in the first place, as under no circumstance, not succeeding is not an option.

Just as a climber needs equipment to scale heights, courage provides the tools to tackle challenges and reach new peaks.

The practice of courage brings along a complete makeover for your life – no, I am not overstating this. To name a few of the advantages, establishing more courage will help you

- overcome fear and make life's decision from a place greater than fear

- reduce anxiety, making it easier to tackle challenges in the future

- pursue your goals and dreams and take 'risks' necessary

- building resilience and strengthen your ability to cope with setbacks, fostering a mindset that embraces challenges rather than shying away from them

- enhancing relationships, as it helps you communicate openly and honestly, deepening your connections with others and fostering trust. Standing up for your beliefs and for others as well

- personal growth, inspiring others, embracing change.......

Sounds like a dream? Well, it no longer has to be. This practice will take you to the highest mountain, so find your comfortable position and let me light your way. I promise, you will enjoy the view!

Our time is so valuable, and surely, we always wish, we just had a few more hours a day to get everything done.

This meditation is designed to be a short and easy 'snack' to find peace and quiet, especially if you feel overly rushed. With less than 10 minutes you will find yourself reset, refreshed, calm and focused to continue on or start your busy day. As a funny add on, this is going to introduce you to your chakras (energy points) to help you visualize all the vital energy in your body (even if you feel drained).

No props or experience needed. If you are new to meditations, I'll invite you to press play as this episode is absolutely beginner friendly.
