EP 101 Connecting & Inclusion Presence Challenge

This meditation will help you recognise the fear that keeps you from connecting and including, not to fight it, but to see it clearly enough that you can choose differently. Because when you include what is here, all of it, something shifts. You feel more complete. More whole. That is what healing actually is, not the absence of difficulty, but the presence of you within it.

We live in a world that is more divided than ever. More reactive, more resistant, more loud about what it doesn't want and doesn't like. And if you look closely, what we're collectively fighting against is almost always something natural, something that simply is. The ego, yours and mine and everyone else's, does not like connection and inclusion. It would rather divide, judge, and push away, because that is how it keeps itself safe.

And yet the truth is simple: the full moment, exactly as it presents itself, holds everything. The pleasant and the unpleasant, the easy and the difficult, the welcome and the unwelcome. The moment you can include it all, you connect with it all. And the moment you connect with it all, you are actually here. The moment you resist even one part of it, the suffering begins.

This is not a small practice. This is the practice, and it may be the most important one of our time.

Press play, sit with what is here, and allow this meditation to bring you home to yourself.

EP 100 - When Doing Nothing Is Your Something Meditation

What if doing something... means doing nothing?

This is episode 100. And what better way to mark it than

with this: just sitting here. With yourself. In this moment. Your Presence Practice!

In this guided meditation, JJ van Zon invites you to simply

sit with yourself — right here, right now. No agenda.

No fixing. Just presence.

Inspired by a powerful moment from Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, where Sister Joan Chittister responds to the question

"What can we do?" asked by Oprah with: "Wherever you are... do something."

Sister Joan reminds us that kindness, compassion, and love

are actions — big and small.

JJ makes it his own: what if your something today is

becoming aware of this moment — and of yourself in it?

That awareness is the beginning of being kinder to yourself,

and to the world around you.

That's a big something.

EP 94 Stress isn’t the boss of me - Meditation

Meditation Podcast by JJ van Zon (Royalty free background music ‘The Free Air’ by Christopher Lloyd Clarke

Get ready to let go of all the secondary stuff — the noise, the pressure, the things that drain your energy. It’s time to reconnect with your true nature: simply being human, with the beautiful ability to live in peace and in love.

This meditation was inspired by Ahimsa, the first Yama of the eight limbs of yoga — the practice of non-violence and compassion toward yourself and others.

It’s a love bomb for your soul… and it feels so good. 💛
