From Atheist DJ to Meditation Master: Jimmy Wightman on Awakening and the Life-Changing Power of Mindfulness

#257 Can a life of chaos lead to peace? Jimmy Wightman’s story says YES! Welcome back, divine darlings, to another enlightening episode of The Higher Self Hotline! This week, I’m sitting down with Jimmy Wightman, a meditation teacher who went from the pulsating beats of Ibiza’s nightlife to the transformative stillness of mindfulness. Jimmy’s journey is one of unexpected twists, from grappling with insomnia and depression to discovering meditation through serendipitous signs (a floating image in a canal, anyone?) and life-changing retreats. He opens up about the shift from skepticism to spiritual exploration and how he found his true calling as a guide for others.  What’s inside this episode? → How the party life unexpectedly led Jimmy to mindfulness. → The difference between gradual growth and sudden awakening. → Beginner-friendly meditation tools you can start using today. → The surprising “cosmic joke” of enlightenment that had Jimmy laughing out loud. This episode is more than a conversation, it’s an invitation to reflect on your own path to peace.  So if you’re seeking clarity, connection, or just a little inspiration, Jimmy’s story will definitely resonate. —- ✨ Take My FREE Quiz!
