When’s the last time you took a nice deep intentional breath in?

This is why I need to live near the equator

Flow Thyself 🌬️ The name came from an ancient reminder that’s followed humanity forever: Know Thyself 🪬 Not just as an idea, but as a lived experience. This path that we’re on such as healing, awakening, yoga, breathwork, meditation, health, higher consciousness, it’s all connected and really ‘one’. None of it stands alone. It’s one journey inward, one process of remembering. Across every ancient culture, the same truth keeps showing up: what we’re searching for isn’t outside of us. It’s within us. To truly know yourself isn’t intellectual. You can’t think your way there. It’s experiential. It’s felt. It happens through the breath, through movement, through stillness, through awareness and presence. Flow Thyself exists to support that work. To help us slow down, turn inward, heal ourselves, and remember who we really are. To learn how to genuinely love ourselves, and in doing so, create heaven on earth right beneath our feet. This is really the true message of Yoga (Union/To Yolk/To Join) Oneself with the All, seeing the Divine within the Self and in all Beings, and really everywhere at all times. Stoicism teaches that the foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. Seneca says, “How do I know that I have been making progress? I have begun to be a friend to myself…” Marcus Aurelius says in Meditations, “Look within. Within is the fountain of Good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou will ever dig.” God/Nature/Logos/Universe/Consciousness/Energy/Love/Spirit are names for the same. It’s all One, and it’s all within yourself. I’d argue one of the wisest interpreters of human consciousness over the past 100 years, Joseph Campbell, writes “All the Gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.” As the Buddha taught, everything you’re seeking is already within you. As Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you.” And ancient Egyptian wisdom reminds us: Whoever shall know thyself shall find it. We’re not humans searching for spirit. We’re spiritual beings having a human experience. This is the path I’m deeply passionate about. This is the work I love living and sharing. Flow Thyself is here to help you remember what’s always been within thyself 🫶 Looking forward to crossing paths with every Soul, and hope to see you in a humble yoga class we teach every Wednesday morning in Exeter @7am, and every Friday morning in Kittery @7am. We also have a breathwork event coming up February 27th 6-8pm that we will be making a seperate post about, and hope you can make it! I want to make bitcoin a big part of this as well, and eventually accept bitcoin as payment while spreading what Bitcoin is actually able to do to help us as a civilization. It is such an amazing future we are all stepping into together. I am grateful to be apart of it. God bless.

Been a little quiet… but we’re back 🤍 We’re going to be sharing more on overall health and vitality, with a strong emphasis on the breath, along with yoga, meditation, higher consciousness, longevity, and the different practices that have deeply enhanced my life. This path inward (Kriya) — such as breathwork, yoga, meditation, plant medicine, self-inquiry/mastery, routines, practices, awakening — is something we’re genuinely passionate about and very interested in. We love learning, embodying, sharing, and having real conversations around this type of work, which we believe is certainly the most important work. I believe it was Ram Dass who said, “The only way I can help you is to work on myself; the only way you can help me is to work on yourself.” If any of this resonates with you, stay tuned. There’s more to come. Much love. God bless 🤍 And we’ve got a breathwork event coming toward the end of next month — more details on that as time moves forward. Namaste 🙏

“What are you doing for the game?” What game?…. Lol

In Seneca’s essay on Tranquility, he uses the Greek word euthymia, which he defines as “believing in yourself and trusting that you are on the right path, and not being in doubt by following the myriad footpaths of those wandering in every direction.” In this state of mind, he says, that produces tranquility.”
