Rediscover the Vast Freedom Within

Rediscover the Vast Freedom Within

November 23, 2025 by Jaime Machado | Leave a Comment

There are moments when life narrows around us: when the mind feels tight, noisy, or pulled in too many directions at once. In these moments, it’s easy to forget that inside you there is something far wider, far deeper, far more spacious than the surface tension of your thoughts.

Sailing Your Mind was written as a reminder of that inner vastness: a gentle guide back to the open space within you, where clarity breathes again, and freedom becomes something you feel, not something you chase.

As a psychotherapist working with expats, travellers, and people navigating transition, I see this every day: when your external world changes, your inner world often contracts. Your thoughts tighten, your emotions rise, and the sense of inner space shrinks. The mind begins whispering: “I’m overwhelmed.” “I’m lost.” “I don’t know who I am anymore.”

But beneath those layers of noise, there is a vast inner freedom waiting to be rediscovered: a freedom that has never left you, only been covered by the mind’s weather.

Mind isn’t a Cage – It’s a Sky

Many self-help approaches treat the mind like something to discipline or reprogram. But your mind is more like a sky — open, dynamic, and endlessly spacious. Thoughts are not walls; they’re clouds. Feelings are not prisons; they’re waves.

When you rediscover that inner sky, new possibilities open:

  • space to breathe
  • space to feel
  • space to slow down
  • space to choose more wisely
  • space to reconnect with yourself

This book teaches you how to find that space again – not by controlling your thoughts, but by learning how to move through them with presence.

A Path Back to Inner Space

Blending ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) with contemplative insight and years of therapeutic experience, the book offers simple, grounded tools to help you return to your inner vastness:

  • practices that soften mental tension
  • metaphors that make inner work intuitive
  • reflective prompts that reconnect you with your values
  • micro-exercises you can use anytime life closes in
  • gentle guidance through emotional storms
  • ways to navigate doubt, anxiety, and inner noise with more freedom
  • The goal is not to “fix” your mind — it’s to free your relationship with it.
  • For Expats, Seekers, and Anyone in Transition

When your geography shifts, your identity often undergoes its own quiet earthquake. Old roles dissolve, familiar landmarks disappear, and suddenly your mind becomes very loud.

Sailing Your Mind meets you in that space.

It helps you build an inner home — a place of spaciousness, presence, and orientation — that you can carry anywhere in the world.

Book to Return Back to Life

Most readers will go through the book once…
and then come back to it whenever life becomes tight, busy, or overwhelming.

  • It’s a companion, not a lecture.
  • A reminder, not a demand.
  • A doorway back to the freedom you’ve always carried inside.

If you feel called to explore it, you can begin your journey here!
