A Picking Meditation Journey for the Dreamer, the Wanderer, the Heart-Led Soul
by Liselotte Goed

Learn how to fingerpick the ukulele with ease and flow, and let your fingers learn how to dream
You have learned the basics. Your chords, your rhythms, perhaps even a few songs you can play from start to finish.
But somewhere along the way, something essential slipped between the strings.
Your playing feels functional. Correct. But not quite alive yet.
You hear fingerpicking in the distance, its softness, its intimacy, its quiet beauty, and you feel something tugging at you. A longing.
But when you try it yourself, it feels stiff, awkward, overly technical.
The exercises are dry. The joy disappears. Your fingers do not yet flow the way your heart imagines.
And maybe there is something else too.
You want to drift away on your ukulele, to let the melody carry you, but fingerpicking while singing feels overwhelming. Your voice demands attention, your fingers stumble, and the moment collapses like a wave returning to the shore.
What you are truly longing for is enchantment.
That feeling where your ukulele becomes an extension of your heart.
Where you stop thinking about doing it right and begin simply being.
Expressing.
Feeling.Â
You want more color in your playing.Â
More warmth. More depth. More of your own soul coming through.
You want your fingers to learn how to dream.
Fingerpicking is not really about technique
It is about flow, and that is exactly what the Picking Meditations teach you.
Technique plays a small role.
But fingerpicking is so much more than patterns and precision.
It is breath.
It is softness.
It is movement.
It is the way your fingers begin to speak when you stop controlling them too tightly.
It is the place where the magic begins.
The Picking Meditations do not ask you to drill.
They invite you to wander.
You practice without noticing you are practicing.
You grow without forcing.
You learn through feeling.
These meditations gently lure your hands into understanding, not through pressure, but through pleasure.
teach me this journeyA moment from your future
It is the end of the day.
You pick up your ukulele without thinking.
Your fingers find a gentle pattern, almost on their own.
A melody appears, not because you memorized it, but because it has become part of you.
Your mind softens.
Your breath deepens.
You are no longer thinking about technique.
You are simply playing.
This is what becomes possible when fingerpicking transforms into a meditative practice.
You begin to notice:
• How easily you reach for your uke
• How practice becomes a comfort in your day
• How patterns that once felt impossible begin to flow
• How your playing grows richer in color and emotion
• How your fingers begin to tell stories you have carried quietly inside you
Your ukulele stops feeling like something you learn.
It becomes a companion for your inner world.
A gentle way home to yourself.
“Your ukulele isn’t just an instrument. It’s the safest place your heart can speak.”

Cathelijne Esser
"Fingerpicking adds romance, refinement and tranquility to your playing. But fingerpicking doesn't come naturally - it requires dedicated practice. These picking meditations naturally draw me into that practice. The poetry reaches out to you as you play, practice is never dry or boring again! THANK YOU Liselotte, this is exactly what I've been waiting for."
Esther van Velzen
"These fingerpicking meditations are so wonderfully special! I already have quite a few mantras, strums and fingerpicking patterns under my fingers, but this package adds a completely new dimension to my uke playing! Lovely to chill with at the end of the afternoon, giving my uke and myself some quality time. With Liselotte's clear explanations and examples, you can make each picking meditation as easy or challenging as you want. So exactly what you need in that moment to get into flow. I also love that I don't have to sing along. The melodies speak for themselves. Truly a package full of gems!"
Miranda Frijters
"Pure joy, pure joy, and more joy. As soon as I received the email about the picking meditations, I ordered right away. I'm still quite new to ukulele, but I can do this and it's so mesmerizing. It's very healing for me (dealing with some old trauma: 'you can't make music, you sing off-key'). But this actually works for me!!!! Time just disappears and I'm having such a great time."
Marion
"So lovely, these picking meditations are truly magical! I'm practicing them enthusiastically. A genuine addition to the joy of playing ukulele. The tab is really helpful and the videos let you hear how it can sound! Very motivating. The freedom from lyrics makes the fingerpicking with modulations so much more enjoyable."
Gwen
"These fingerpicking meditations are SPOT ON what I need. I'm not a very experienced ukulele player, but from the moment I could play a few chords... I'd pick up my uke to play meditatively. Playing a whole song while singing... wasn't always easy. Which meant I was losing some of my inspiration. But now with these inspiring, sparkling, gentle and loving meditation songs I can just let go endlessly! The variety in difficulty levels is really nice and sometimes challenging. But Liselotte's videos with explanations and tips are SO clear and intuitive, which reignites my creative fire. Of course I have a favorite song, though they're all absolutely delightful! Sweet melodies to drift away with... Thank you for sharing these lovely songs, making music makes me GLOW!"
Anouschka
"Every experience Liselotte shares on the ukulele is wondrous. And of uncomplicated beauty. It seems simple but meanwhile she challenges you... What I really appreciate is that you develop space for your own interpretations. This time without singing, with beautifully clear recordings... Simply fingerpicking away."Â
Anika Douven
"Finally the enchanting melody that touched me months ago and wouldn't let go has a name... 'Birds in the Sky'! And the most beautiful part - I can now play it myself!! Liselotte, your picking meditations are like a treasure chest, each time a beautiful new crystal emerges. So valuable that you share your talent with others. It enriches my life. Keep doing what you're good at and enjoy!! (Oh yes, and please keep sharing.)"

Saskia Buitelaar
"What a fantastic addition to my membership! This truly adds a new dimension to ukulele playing and really stimulates my own creativity and freedom in fingerpicking. I'm even expanding the meditations myself. Wonderful to play for myself, but also just to listen to. I've already used it several times during the mantra breaks I organize at work. And also during a yin yoga class. Very positive reactions - people can beautifully drift away on the melodies."
