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

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 needed to be done, and your kids’ appointments too, worrying about stuff at work and your mom’s wellbeing lately…

And the fact is, you are not alone – but the mental load that you are carrying is something no one else seems to be able to help you with. Because you are always the one in control. Of course your partner and you work together, but he does not see all the things that need to be done, the kitchen that needs cleaning, the parent-teacher conference, the car that’s due for inspection – yes you can tell him to do things too, but it’s not like he is going to think of these things himself. 

And so your brain is constantly spiraling and starting to overheat. If you loosen the belt for only 1 inch, everything will fall apart. Am I right? 

My friend, you need to listen to this right now! First, you are going to take a deep breath, and as impossible as it may seem, you are going to pause right here, right now, because your sanity, your heart and your soul desperately need this. And if you can’t handle the stillness for now, go outside and use it as a Walking Meditation. 

Don’t postpone it, don’t leave it for later in the day. Now is a really good time!

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 true essence and reveal who you are, beneath the layers of hustle, pressure and responsibility overload. 

Your fire is still here. And you know it too. You simply can not access it. 

At WHO I AM, the approach is to establish balance and use your inner Safe Space as powerful resource for your long-term wellbeing.

Let the month of July be your stepping stone – there is a new TAKE 5 episode every Wednesday and Friday throughout this month. Make sure to FOLLOW so you won’t miss out on anything. I am so proud of you for doing this!!

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, constantly changing interconnected world, you and I get to benefit from the calming and healing effect meditation offers.

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 worse, jumping at you from behind….

That’s right: self doubt is just as real as a movie trailer and, for me anyway, it usually kicks in when I am on an exhilarated new way, like changing jobs or career entirely, starting a new hobby, taking on a project that costs a lot of effort and time and takes me out of my comfort zone completely. When the process requires us to stay committed, patient and high on energy, when it is a big stretch to where we are headed, or it takes some time to get there, in some quiet moments, our friend self doubt pops out of its hole and starts nagging us. 

This guided meditation will help you stay clear and focussed, just what you need to keep your sense of self worth on a high and kiss self doubt goodbye. 

Meeting self doubt with presence and courage.

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 started repeating and coming to take 5 minutes of meditation regularly, it will lead to you building a new healthy habit, helping you to establish a more positive and calm mindset, resilience, the ability to focus, nourish your creativity, enhance your sleep at night and power throughout the day and so much more. 

And YES, 5 minutes are enough to start with and get the rock rolling.

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, to work on self-discovery and inner balance. 

TAKE 5 is designed to refocus and shift your mindset in the most efficient way. Helping you to build new healthier habits – because it’s not the big gestures that make the most change happening. It’s the small, consistent actions that build momentum and show long-lasting effects. 

Are you generally sensing, that something is off in your life? You can feel that you are not in your highest energy, but can not quite find a particular reason or root to this problem? 

Then TAKE 5 is exactly what you need! 

By repetitively and persistently pausing and reflecting, you get to discover yourself, while calming and relaxing your nervous system, as you are making space for new impulses and perspectives.

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 system and balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic, this type of meditation can help to reduce anxiety, tension and mental fatigue more directly than regular sleep – BOOM.

Activating theta and delta brainwaves (similar to deep sleep) you allow to release emotional patterns and stress that is stored in your body. While sleep is crucial for physical regeneration, your immune function, memory and hormone regulation and is non-negotiable for long-term health, Yoga Nidra is the perfect addition for your mental health especially in stressful times or when you somehow feel overly exhausted, but can’t really tell what is the reason (yet). 

We are combining the practice with a journey through nature today. I recommend to lay down and if possible, grab a blanket and some headphones to meditate outside in nature!

I’m glad you’re back for our 2nd episode of Take 5, a series designed to help you making Meditations a consistent part of your regular mindfulness & selfcare routine. I believe that everybody has 5 minutes to spare (each day) to listen to something that can help you improve your life. 

I know, your schedule is tight, and you have a million things on your plate already. But what if I told you, that these 5 minutes will not only help you to become calm and centered, but actually also more resilient, productive and overall happier! 

So please, think about it: where and when throughout your day do you have 5 minutes to listen and meditate? And if you can not come up with anything, is there an activity that you can swop it with at least 2-3 times a week? Who could help you free this tiny slot in your schedule to be able to Take 5 minutes? 

If your friend, parents, husband, kids would ask you for 5 minutes of your time, would you free your schedule to help them? 

The reason why I am asking these questions, is because I want you to take this, to take yourself, your own health serious. Prioritize it, because if you are not willing to free time for your own well-being, why would anyone else? Do you really think it’s going to hurt someone if you took that those 5 minutes for yourself? 

Instead, think about how much of a better mother, friend, colleague, daughter, brother you could be, once the effect of your regular practice kicks in and you become more balanced within just 5 minutes a day.

The month of July is a special one – it is my BIRTHDAY month! 

And so I have a special gift for you. Starting today we are kicking off a new meditation series at the WHO I AM Podcast! 

Throughout the whole month of JULY, there will be a new episode of this special every Wednesday and Friday in addition to our regular Sunday Podcast! Hell yeah…

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

Since starting the Podcast, I have received feedback and talked to a lot of people about Meditation in general. And it all comes together to: 

So many of you are aware of the great benefits, Meditation can bring into your life, your well-being and mental health (love it!!!), but as it takes regular practice and making it a habit (just like brushing your teeth), most of you are struggling when it comes to staying on track and integrating the practice into your routine. 

Let me tell you: I GET IT !  That is why this Special is for YOU.

By taking 5 minutes, we ease in to a regular practice rather than diving head first, making it efficient and digestible. Because not only is it difficult to stay in a meditation for 20 minutes, when you are not used to it, but also, oftentimes you don’t even get starting trying, because you see the duration of the episode and your mind freaks out right away, defaulting to “I don’t have enough time for that now, let me try later.”

TAKE 5 is your ticket into the game. Let the month of July be your stepping stone to changing your life forever.

Now find a comfortable space and let's begin.

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 on what matters here, calming the nervous system and taming the monkey mind simply takes practice. It goes along with practicing gratitude and quitting comparison. 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to JUST BE YOU, in all your facets and all your uniqueness?

YES YOU CAN. And you can start right here and now. What time and moment would be more wonderful to do that than now?
