BOHEMIAN FIG CHRONICLES
Flow State
What if stillness isn’t about being still?
I used to think meditation meant sitting still, eyes closed, mind clear. But every time I tried, my thoughts got louder—like a freeway of to-do lists and old song lyrics.
Then one day, I stopped forcing it.
I let my breath move me. I swayed, stretched, flowed. And in that motion, I found exactly what I’d been chasing—presence, clarity, peace.
That’s when I realized: meditation isn’t about stillness. It’s about presence. And sometimes, presence happens in motion.
The Magic of Meditation in Motion
“Some meditate in stillness, others meditate in motion—both paths lead to the same inner sanctuary.”
What if stillness isn’t about being still?
You ever try to sit still, close your eyes, and “clear your mind”... only to feel like your thoughts get louder? Yeah, me too.
For years, I thought meditation had to look a certain way—cross-legged, eyes closed, still and silent. But every time I tried, my mind felt like a crowded freeway, bumper-to-bumper with random thoughts, to-do lists, and, for some reason, song lyrics I hadn’t heard in years.
Then one day, I stopped trying to force stillness.
I let my breath move me. I let my body sway. I flowed. And in that movement, I found what I had been chasing—presence, clarity, peace.
That’s when I realized—meditation isn’t about stillness. It’s about presence. And for some of us, presence happens in motion.
Meditation That Moves With You
Think about the last time you got lost in movement. Maybe you were swaying to music, walking barefoot on the earth, or letting your body move without thinking. That’s moving meditation—where the rhythm of your breath and the flow of your body pull you into the moment.
Like water, meditation doesn’t need to be forced. A river doesn’t struggle to be still—it just moves. When we stop forcing stillness and start flowing with it, we open ourselves to clarity, peace, and the magic of simply being.
Your Way, Your Flow
There’s no right or wrong way to meditate—only the way that feels right for you. Here are a few ways to bring meditation into motion:
🌿 Qigong & Tai Chi – Flowing movements that circulate energy and cultivate peace.
🌿 Dancing – Free movement that lets the body express and release.
🌿 Walking Meditation – Slow, mindful steps that anchor you in the present.
🌿 Yoga & Stretching – Conscious movement, breath, and energy alignment.
🌿 Breath & Gesture Synchronization – Simple hand or body movements paired with deep breathing.
Doesn’t matter if you’re dancing in your kitchen, stretching at sunrise, or walking barefoot in the grass. If it brings you into the moment, it’s meditation.
“Stillness isn’t the absence of movement—it’s the presence of awareness.”
Nature Makes It Even Better
Something shifts when you meditate in nature. Maybe it’s the fresh air, the sound of waves or rustling leaves, the way the earth grounds you.
One time, I was in a deep moving meditation outdoors, just flowing, when a hummingbird hovered right in front of my nose. It didn’t flinch. Didn’t dart away. It just... stayed. Like it had something to say.
And maybe it did. Maybe it was reminding me to stay light, stay present, and trust the moment.
Because when you open yourself up, the universe finds ways to send little winks your way.
How to Start Your Moving Meditation
There’s no checklist here—just a few ideas to help you get into the flow:
1️⃣ Set the Mood – Find a space that feels good, put on some music, or simply listen to nature.
2️⃣ Close Your Eyes – Feel your breath, your heartbeat, the energy moving through you.
3️⃣ Move However Feels Right – Sway, stretch, shake it out. Let your body lead.
4️⃣ Set an Intention – Healing, clarity, relaxation—whatever you need in that moment.
5️⃣ Let It Happen – No expectations. Just feel it.
Let Stillness Find You
Your body already knows the rhythm. Your breath is the beat. You don’t have to force it—just move, let it flow, and the magic will find you.
Meditation isn’t about how you do it—it’s about how it feels. Whether through dance, breath, or movement, meditation in motion is just as powerful as seated stillness. The secret? Presence.
So, go ahead. Step into the rhythm, follow your breath, and let yourself flow.
“Your body is the brush, your breath is the paint, and movement is the masterpiece of meditation.”
Unleash Your Wild Spirit
Your wild spirit isn’t something you find—it’s something you remember. It’s the part of you that craves adventure, trusts your instincts, and refuses to be tamed. No more playing small. No more waiting. It’s time to set yourself free.
Unleash Your Wild Spirit
Embrace Your Inner Freedom and Authenticity
Ever feel like you’re living on autopilot? Wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat—like you’re moving through life instead of actually living it? Maybe you’re craving something bigger. Something real. A fire-in-your-belly kind of shift that shakes you awake and reminds you who you are.
If that sounds like you, it’s time to unleash your wild spirit. To strip away the “shoulds” and reconnect with the part of you that longs for adventure, creativity, and full-throttle self-expression.
The Animal Instinct
Ever watched a wild horse run—untamed, unstoppable? Or a bird cutting through the sky, completely unbothered by anything below? Animals don’t second-guess themselves. They don’t ask for permission to be free.
They just are.
And that same instinct, that raw, unfiltered essence? You have it, too. It’s in your bones, your breath, your dreams. It’s been there all along, waiting for you to let it out.
So let’s get into it—what it means to live wildly, freely, and unapologetically y
What Does It Mean to Unleash Your Wild Spirit?
It means breaking out of the boxes you’ve been put in.
It means trusting your gut, taking up space, and dropping the weight of other people’s expectations.
It means fully owning who you are—messy, vibrant, and beautifully untamed.
Your wild spirit isn’t something you find—it’s something you remember.
Why It Matters
🌿 Authenticity Feels Better – When you stop filtering yourself to fit the world, life gets way more fulfilling.
🌿 Creativity Comes Alive – Breaking out of routine fuels inspiration, new ideas, and fresh perspectives.
🌿 You Become Resilient – Taking risks and facing fears builds confidence that no setback can shake.
🌿 Connections Get Deeper – When you show up as your real self, you attract people who see and value you.
🌿 Life Stops Feeling So Small – The more you embrace your wild side, the more possibilities open up.
How to Tap Into Your Wild Spirit
1. Get to Know Yourself—The Real You
Forget who you think you should be. Who are you when no one’s watching? What lights you up? What dreams feel too big, too bold, too out there? Those are the ones to chase.
Ask yourself:
🌿 When do I feel most alive?
🌿 What’s one thing I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t?
🌿 Where am I holding myself back?
2. Push Past Your Comfort Zone
Growth happens when you dare to step into the unknown. Say yes to something new. Travel solo. Speak your mind. Let yourself be seen. Even small risks build the muscle of courage.
3. Create Freely, Without Rules
Paint, dance, write, build—whatever makes your soul come alive. Stop overthinking. Just do. Creativity isn’t about being good at something; it’s about expressing who you are.
4. Spend More Time in Nature
Go outside. Feel the wind, watch the waves, walk barefoot in the grass. Nature has a way of reminding us how big, wild, and full of possibilities the world really is.
5. Be Kind to Yourself
Perfection isn’t the goal—being real is. Love the parts of yourself that are still figuring things out. Growth is messy, and that’s the beauty of it.
6. Find Your People
Surround yourself with those who celebrate your authenticity. The ones who see you, get you and lift you up. Let go of anything (or anyone) that makes you feel like you need to shrink.
7. Set Wild, Soul-Aligned Goals
Dream big. Set goals that make your heart race. And don’t just wish for them—move toward them. Even one small step today can change everything.
8. Let Go of Fear & Judgment
Stop waiting for permission. Stop worrying about how it looks. You’re here to live your life, not play by someone else’s rulebook.
The Moment That Changed Everything
Before I got married, I took a solo trip across the world. No travel buddy, no perfect plan—just me, a backpack, and a gut feeling that I needed to go.
I won’t lie—at first, it was terrifying. The silence. The unfamiliar. The sheer what the hell am I doing? moments.
But then, something shifted.
I learned to trust myself in ways I never had before.
I made connections with strangers who felt like old friends.
I realized I was so much more capable than I had ever given myself credit for.
That trip changed me. Not because of where I went, but because of what I discovered about myself along the way.
And that’s what unleashing your wild spirit is all about—saying yes to life before you feel ready and watching the magic unfold.
Final Thoughts: Set Yourself Free
This isn’t about being reckless—it’s about being real.
Unleashing your wild spirit is about:
🌿 Trusting your instincts.
🌿 Embracing what makes you different.
🌿 Living in a way that feels right for you.
No more waiting. No more wondering what if.
It’s time to set yourself free.
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
