Depression, Back Injury, & Healing From Within ♥ Boho Diaries | Ep.3 Bali Confessions

  • We have been yearning for an escape from the concrete jungle, the commercialism, the seemingly backwards society that we often felt like we were trapped in. Moving to the Rocky Mountains was wonderful and it gave us a moment to stop and take a breath, but now we're in need of more then just a breath of fresh air, we're in need of learning how to breathe again.
    We have finally arrived in Bali. Reflecting on the years and the last few months that brought us here has begun to make it quite apparent that we have our work set out for us. And not work such as our business and brand, but self work. Self work through self care will truly be the theme of the next few months.
    May we look back at this period of our life one day and continue to smile. ♥
    Thank you for being here with us...
    Love,
    Juliana and Mark

    Beautiful searchers, maybe some insight.
    I am 62 years old and since I left home at age 14, I have lived many lives. I lived in the garage of a deserted ice factory with a bunch of artists. I backpacked and worked my way across 48 states and much of Mexico and overseas. I was a high power trial attorney - the only woman in a large firm and in a business dominated by men. I got to be part of the incredible changes that led, in the end, to whole trials where the judge, the lawyers, the experts, etc. were all women. And lots more.
    In the end, I found that I was happiest when I finally decided on what place I would call home. I needed to build, person by person, my own tribe of friends, acquaintances and family and find a purpose within that "village." I was always so independent and was therefore astonished that I needed, to be happy, a place where I "belonged." It is the people who care for you and you care for them that in my case made the difference. Of course, that was and is my story. Yours may go in a totally different direction. I wish you lots of joy. Mary

      Mary G your story is amazing. it's gives me hope. I'm in that very uncomfortable​ spot of in-between chapters... it hurts. it's scary to let go. change your views, your identify, your friends, your landscape. but when you really really listen to that voice --- you just have to moly, evolve, change, shed. I'm so lost. thank you for sharing this humble moment. I know there are Lots of people like me. this video and the responses really help me to preservere.

    "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Lao Tzu. I discovered you both in a time of my life after I suffered, embraced my suffering, and accepted myself for who I am. I am so grateful to have found you. There are so many things that I learned (and continue to learn from you) and you always bring joy to me with the positivity and value you create in life. I am sorry for the pain and suffering you both had to endure in this journey but you took that pain and turned it into a valuable lesson in life. When you said that you needed to 'take a breath'... I think you found the answer.... breathing through the challenges and take a break, as It heals, and brings you back to present moment. It's amazing to be in that moment wherever that moment is. I am feeling so much joy watching how you two have grown and created the life you dream of and do the things that you love and have passion for. I learn from this video that we suffer in order to really appreciate when we are free of suffering... we develop compassion and sensitivity from it.Thank you so much for sharing your journey. As your journey unfolds more deeply, I would love to hear from you again. Thank you for being my teacher and inspiration. I will pray for your good health and healing. with love elkie

    I have a past of abuse and addiction. And bc of the abuse I struggle to love myself but your videos are truly helping to find and love me again. There are so many youtube videos full of emptiness but you guys aren't focused on becoming famous and glammed up, the realness and genuinely wanting to improve yourselves and help others, I find that so refreshing and real. Thank you for being you and please keep being you! You give me hope.

    This is the most real video I have ever seen. Will you guys please take my advice? Don't think too much and try to figure out this complicated world. Simply FOLLOW YOUR HEART. WE ARE WATCHING YOU IN AMAZING BEWILDERMENT. SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THE WORLD. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE. KEEP LIVING THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP. you are the leaders in this world, we all have no one to look up to but ourselves. look in the mirror and embrace yourselves I see nothing but goodness, positive intention and healing energy and I know you can do it- that is- whatever your hearts desire.

Your guys encouraging words and sharing your beliefs has helped me a lot in the last 7 months. I have recently started down the path of finding who i am and healing my body through yoga, meditation and Pilates. i mostly do your guys videos because, 1:they are killer and 2: you guys always have the best words of wisdom.Thank you for all you do! you guys are absoluetly incredible.

    the inspiration that flows from your bold behavior helped shatter the prison around me. every family relationship is 5 times better, my daughter is boundless! living beyond rigidity has helped uncover all of what was thought to have been destroyed or left behind. I get to have all I ever wanted & more and it wouldn't matter if I ever received it. The vulnerability that you guys display is refreshing & its power so pure. I see much system-based fear in those around and it can feel like one is crazy for not being afraid of it. thank you for standing strong. For a display that says "stay true to the journey & flee complacency".

    I'm so happy to hear this. Whatever it takes to awaken your soul is beautiful. I have started my weakening journey 2years ago. It's s a beautiful journey realizing who are and what you really apart of in this universe. I feel a lot of people will begin to wake up to life and the truth. I've always realize that I don't quite fit in. If you have time I recommend listening to or reading to the Dao De Jing which can further your knowing thy self if you haven't heard of it already. One of the sonnets says a good traveler has no fixed plans. Continue to spread your beauty guys. I love this channel.

    @jenniferharriman4779 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thoreau has this great quote that goes something like "Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves." In his book Walden he has this bit where he talks about how being lost in the woods channels your sense of awareness. Sort of like when you drive home from the store and think "I don't remember how I got home!" When we are lost on a roadtrip all the sudden we are aware of everything - the buildings, the trees, the street signs. We become so routined that our awareness of living life is dulled, it isn't until we are lost that we can see our own self, strengths and weaknesses.
    That part of the book has always resonated with much like this video you two have put together. I used to fear getting lost but I think I just feared myself. I'm becoming a little more aware - basically just realizing there is so much more for me learn about myself and grow. Boho Beautiful has been an incredible part of my journey. It started with a few 5 Minute Miracle videos about a year ago and now I can almost do a legit chataranga and have begun meditating and eating more plants and just realizing there is so much more beauty in the world than the prescribed life guideline we are all fed as youths. Thank you so much. Keep up the incredible work. Namaste.

I was like Stephanie, waking up with no purpose after my sister( best friend in life) died, breaking up with my boyfriend and my 19 yr old son moving out, leaving me an empty nester and wanting to die. I want you to know that one day I stumbled upon your yoga videos from Costa Rica and they saved my life. They gave me purpose again. So I want to thank you guys for sharing with the world your joy, your triump your sorry and thank you for being transparent, real. Get well... Namaste.

    To find someone who shares your beliefs, your goals and is willing to hold your hand while you both jump into the unknown is very rare...you guys are soul mates! don't ever let your relationship become second though..it should always come first because even the strongest and hottest of fires, still needs fuel and tending from time to time..you two seem to work so well together, creating one beautiful experience and one beautiful journey (not just an actual journey, but journey of life and self discovery) Love is not about looking at one another, it's about looking in the same direction and you two have nailed it (I feel). your videos are always an inspiration and always come in time of need for me... the Universe speaks through you! keep doing your own thing and don't be stopped by fear! you give all of us hope!

    I watched a couple of your yoga videos and liked them, but after watching this I have a new level of respect for you. It's heartening to hear some honest accounting of others who are on the path of truth and self-exploration (and healing!). I feel like we are siblings in this family of people who want to live real lives again, the way we were meant to, the way that humans lived in wonder and growth, mystery and harmony before the shift away from Earth-based societies began. Thanks for putting this out there and reminding us other seekers that we're not alone in doing this work (which is not easy, and not at all supported by Western societies). Much love to you both out there.

      If it gives you any reconciliation, I just quit my job over a month to explore and pursue a completely different path... with no back up plan. I'm trusting the process and figuring out things as I go. I learned that there can be immense relief and freedom in letting go, just allowing yourself to get to know other aspects of yourself that wants to pursue bigger and greater things :-) Get curious about that side of you that is pulling at your heart strings, it has the answers :-) Let patience be on your side (resilience is a great teacher too). Best of luck on your journey forward

    The hardest thing in life is to be original and authentic. To not be a copy of everyone around you. Letting go of stuff and home base makes you feel vulnerable. But that's good because it makes you question what you really want to do and be, and what will fulfill you. Discovering these things is what life is all about.

    I just want you two to know that you have inspired me so much in all your videos to let go of my ego and strive to be a better person. Ever since I moved out and lived on my own I have questioned the purpose of life. With all this commercialism, it's hard to find yourself and your purpose. It's like noise distracting you from what's important Yoga and meditation (mostly led by your videos) have opened up my mind and quieted. I now see what great potential I have. Life isn't about money and having the best of everything. It's about loving who you are and bringing the best energy into the world as you can. My journey has only started. I look forward to what's to come and I thank you, thank you so much for this inspiration. The two of you are beautiful souls ❤

    We are all human and I have learned and heard that since we are not "of this world" we always have a void and hole in our hearts and souls. There is one thing that can fill that void and that is from our creator. Faith and God is what our souls are always looking for and that is why it becomes easy to feel empty when we lack knowing God. Its the greatest blessing and He has transformed my life :)))
    you are so strong for displaying this on the internet. I hope you find the healing you are looking for

    Be thankful that you have had this awakening. Many people will go through their lives and just live out what your are escaping. Traveling definitely helps begin the process as you become more aware of the uniqueness and beauty of different cultures and a different way of life. My husband and children have been blessed to travel in service to those in need of clean water, education, medical care and though we go to bless we always feel so much more blessed by what we learn about others and ourselves. Coming home is difficult we don't feel like we fit into our culture but we have come to learn to balance and appreciate the time we have with our loved ones and focus on that and not our NorthAmerican culture and embrace and enjoy the time with those cultures and people we are blessed to return to frequently. Keep buying from the Lady or Man who makes things by hand :) and cover everything you do and say with love.

    You both seem to care very much about the mark you leave on this earth, in more than one way. I think the two of you have started a journey that will hopefully lead somewhere great. Already I can hear your views changing and your outlook on the world and the people within it becoming more insightful and "awakened".
    I truly hope that you both find a real, meaningful purpose - something that will last, even when this world has faded away. Please continue to live with love. I pray for hope, faith, and joy to follow you in your hearts wherever you go, and that lives may be transformed by the kindness you leave behind you.
    God Bless.

    This brought me to tears. Your words are so relatable. Especially when Mark was talking about feeling lost and asking yourself every night "who am I"...
    I'm trying to listen to my spirit and let it guide me in the right direction in life and I've finally just let go and accepted my present moment and the way my life is. I'm so incredibly blessed to have a husband who works hard to support his family and two beautiful babies. I'm letting go of everything I thought my life was supposed to look like and accepting it and surrendering to the flow, hoping I'll one day find my purpose 💕
    Thank you for making these videos! They've helped me so much and I've been doing one of your yoga routines every night after I get kids in bed and I light candles and it's so quiet and peaceful and "me time".., and without discovering you I never would of brought that into my life. Thank you 😊
    Good luck to you guys and to the amazing journey that you're on.

    I started practicing my morning yoga with Juliana, probably 6 months ago... I didn't know anything about you guys...But today just for curiosity I opened this link...great journey, great healing process... a lot of your words are still resounding inside... maybe because my journey has been quite similar, right now living in Vietnam and experiencing the whole process! Thanks for expressing this in such a honest and passionate way, you put it in black and white for me.

    Wow! Thank you for sharing! I think you were not empty Mark you were full of pain like you said. I had exact same thing ended up with surgery have screws and plates and that sparked RA! I couldn’t walk for 3 months because my nerves were damaged. Pool therapy and yoga saved my life and a dog!!! I had to walk him every day! Now I have 2 shelter dogs! I think you have to empty yourself completely, let go of past and you are together on a wonderful journey ! I just began mine. I became vegan on my 48th birthday. My kids think it’s a faze. I was thinking too until my neighbor was cooking meet and I got nauseous. I am so happy for you guys! I live in Chicago so imagine what I go through! I don’t watch news anymore. I wanna live there 💕♾🙏

    this video puts everything I've ever felt into words. I'm in tears watching this because I realize it's what I so desperately need. I'm covering up and creating all this scar tissue and all I actually need is to heal... I was at work today and I stopped to look around and realize I hate it all. I hate being a slave to a job and making money and not even being able to heal myself. what is the point in having all that if you feel so dead inside.. Your journey is extremely inspiring.

  • @fergie0507
    @fergie0507 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love you guys so much. It's ok to feel lost and it's brave to admit it. Everyone has so many thoughts that we don't share and sharing is what allows us to grow as humanity. Leaving my home town (Toronto, funny enough) allowed me to open up the doors for understanding more. And then when I started navigating in that other environment, I also understood that the only place to search for is inside myself. And then I made the move to live off the land on a Mediterranean island completely taking a leap of faith. And then more realizations came. And then I understood that there are infinite more to come, and that life is nothing without first understanding that we are imperfect and here to grow. I know from my own experience that the bravest thing to do is to admit that you're not happy with where you are because then you can allow yourself to search for something else. The fact that you are making such inspiring content while feeling all the turbulence of self-searching makes it all the more incredible, so I hope you never doubt your contribution to the welfare of the world. When you use your talents for a greater good, there can be nothing better. Namaste, you make this world less of a lonely place

  • @EsjiSG
    @EsjiSG 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm crying. I relate so much. I used to be just like you guys. I'm a 20-something canadian girl, I did exactly what you did, for the same reasons, felt exactly how you're feeling, went exactly where you are, in Ubud, Bali, with my then boyfriend. I recognized many places in the video, the awe inspiring giant statues of gods in the street, I remember the heat, motorbike rides and drinking out of coconuts all too well. It's been almost a year since I came back home. I stopped traveling for many reasons; lack of money, breakup, visas, feeling like I was only drifting and running away from my problems in the "real world" and that it was enough.. I thought I had found myself traveling and that my motivation to be sucessful was back, I was gonna go pick up my career where I left it and be finally achieve my goal. But now that's it's been a year and that it's been a huge struggle for the most part I'm doubting my choices everyday. Rarely a day passes by when I don't ask myself why I left the traveler's life. But at the same time if I give up on my dream job I know I will regret it in the long run. I'm struggling but I can't give up. Still, watching this, I feel so nostalgic .. that used to be me. And I can't believe I am now in the rat race I used to hate. I'm wondering if by being on the "career" path I'm on I'm violating the very ideals I traveled to honor and embody. Am I being true to myself ? .. sorry if I'm being a bit incoherent but yeah. I'm confused. Tired. And very lost. I totally get you guys, gotta trust in Life. Sending love and light.

    I just wanted to write you guys and say how much I look forward to your vlogs. Honestly, it just makes me feel so much better to know they others are going through the same thing. You guys don't sugar coat you just lay it out and try to understand yourselves better and help other people do the same. My friends and family jokingly call me a hobo, etc because I talk about buying a sleeper van and going for it and figuring out my life. But watching you both gives me such relief knowing I'm not alone in wanting to get away from the consumer society we've let ourselves get wrapped up in. So yeah I'm rambling now ☺️ but sincere thanks and keep doing what you're doing.

    Hey guys, thanks for sharing your "crises times" with us. It is very brave to expose the "uglier" side of your experience as we live in a society where looking bright, happy and powerful is all the rage. I have been following your posts for a couple of months now and they all have resonated with me on some level. I think all of us are on the same journey through our human experience on this planet, right now, but not everyone is able to see it. I too am not always happy with what I see in the western world, and this has become a lot more obvious once I have spent more time in the East. 2 years ago, I did the same as what you just did, I left everything behind and ended up in Bali, Ubud for 3 months. It might not have looked like I was doing much when I was there but the internal journey was huge. Taking a breath... stopping for a while... learning to hold myself as this experience, right now, in that moment was a slow and confusing thing. I had to give up any conceptualisations of what I was going through (letting go) in order to fully experience it, without judgments. Bali is magical for that. I'm sure they are many places like this. Now 2 years later, I am back in Melbourne Australia, very western living and I am applying what I have learned back then, to mesh it with my life anywhere I am. It's a challenge but it feels great. We all have to stop... really stop to process the internal changes we feel are happening, whenever we do, we reconnect with something so simple... our "presence". Enjoy bonding with your presence guys. No matter how healthy, yogic and spiritually aware we are, if we are here, we are still human and that comes with a whole range of experiences. Rest... reconnect and recreate yourself over and over.
    Thanks guys, I really enjoy following your stories. All the best
    Sebastien

    I woke up this morning with extreme anxiety. I decided to do one of your wonderful yoga videos, which often helps me very much. This morning, it wasn't enough. I clicked on this video right after, and I felt a huge weight leave me. You helped me remember the one thing that makes me happiest, and I remembered how strong and beautiful I am because I'm pursuing that. And in remembering that, everything else leaves me. I cried and cried, but I'm left feeling whole again. Thank you so much.

You showed me the light and a way of my life. Every new day I start with your yoga video and go to bed only after practice with you too. I want to say so many good words, but I don't know English excellent, and I don't know, if you can understand Russian. I love you! Please, don't give up, don't be so sad and depressive, don't be sick and injury. "Everything's gonna be allright")))(c) It's new period and the beginning of the new happy chapter of your life. Don't read negative comments, I believe in you two! Julia

    @Lina-mj9yy 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    i'm following your beautiful videos since quite a while and this is the first one where i find you really hit the point of life and began to realise what it's all about. :) it's honestly heart opening and it's giving me hope that more and more people will realise and that we can change our world into a place where every beeing can live its fully potential in harmony with the whole world. this might sound like a farytale but i truly believe that it's possible. maybe not tomorrow or next year but it will come.
    loosing all our personality will of course bring emptiness and fears us at first because everything our tiny mind is telling us will be ripped away. but if we are not afraid to look further through all these layers we can see that everything is connected, we can see the light and the love that is floating through everything, that it might has created this body but that it's timeless and endless potential that could be anything or nothing. we are capable of way more than just moving, eating or working if we just open our heart and mind for this potential, for this love and light. so if your heart is opening you will know that it's true and you will know where to go or what to do. our heart is our compass. :)
    just trust your heart and you will find what you're looking for. i wish you all best for your way. thank you for this video. :)

    I've just discovered your channel and I feel like I have found a 'new door' in a time when I needed one. I find your honesty refreshing. So much of social media is full of 'happy people with great lives', so much so, that sometimes it feels like they are another breed, and that their successes are unattainable, as they are simply blessed. Listening to you two, I feel like we are the same species, and I feel like your 'normality' (struggles, questions etc.) which are similar to mine at times, means that I could achieve everything that you have with perseverance and self-belief. Thanks :-)

    Dear Juliana
    I have been subscribing to your videos for a few months now and I am so excited when you post a new video especially when it relates to your life story, motivation . You both really speak from the heart and you both have really kind hearts. not many ppl in this world do and it is so touching to know ppl like you exist. I really enjoy hearing your updates they motivate me sometimes I listen while having breakfast to start my day and at times on the bus on my way home after a long day. i just wanted to thank you for spreading positive vibes. I do have one request for future videos, how do you deal with difficult people and have you ever felt disheartened at how much negativity there is in this world?
    much love take care and glad you are safely out of the hospital xx

    it was very brave of you to open up so honestly about this, I think it's something that a lot of people go through, and don't have the courage to face, that maybe the problems they have come from within themselves, and that blaming things and people around them only gets in the way of healing. I love your yoga classes too, in beautiful settings. K x

    @cynchya 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    10:46 is a powerful moment- discussing all the things that you thought mattered but didn't- then you question "who am I?" And I'd like to ask you, why does it matter and what if you never find out? The more effort you put towards defining yourself, and trying to fit within any description you can come up with, creating an identity that you can describe.. The less you are whatever it is you are, and the less you are allowing yourself to become that. And then you say being "open to it, embracing it" so that's exactly it!! But it almost sounds like it's a realization you're surrendering to. It's like you're accepting it because you feel like you have to. The "because what else is there" puts a sad spin on it. The only thing that will never change is change. But when you can view "change" as "evolve" instead then life hurts a lot less. You are both beautiful and inspiring people. "Never change" would sound fitting here, but I'll just say keep evolving!

    I could say the same as Jade. I might have reached a goal of sorts with my current job, but I still need to find myself and who I am, because I still don't know. Tears were running down my cheeks. Not very manly, I know, but your words, as always, go straight to my heart and all other hearts, who are watching this video. I have a beautiful girlfriend, who I try to show the shining path of yoga, but she has promised to try it out. For me, yoga is not an exercise anymore, it's a way of life. You guys inspirer to a simple life, which isn't simple at all, until you discover your true self. I know that you two are getting close to finding yourself, and Mark, my prayers for a speedy recovery and a healthy life for you both 🙏🏻 take care 🙏🏻❤️

I was feeling lost with what to do next and now I look forward to moving with you every day Juliana. I love how your videos flow, the short lengths are perfect for a busy mom but yet still leave me feeling strong and breathless. I love how real, open and honest you both are, the world is full of souls like you, we all just need to wake up a little more and start putting ourselves out there because we finally live in a time that it is safe to do so!

    Guys, you are not alone with this. From the first day of 2017, I've had literally so many difficult and really unexpected moments that now I can be in doubt with almost every single relationship in my life. I have a chance to live and study in the city that I absolutely love. But sometimes, I only want to travel, the farther the better. It brings me true peace. And at the end of the day, all the experiences that I've gained during those trips are much more worthy and important than good grades or new clothes. Life is short and difficult so it's crucial to find what makes us happy and start doing it :)

    I was afraid to open this, 'cause I knew I would cry(on a bus at 6 am going to work hooray). When you said that you used to blame the outside, but the things actually have to change are within youself, hit me. I already knew that, but it still hurts to hear it. I'm planning to do what you are doing, to leave to find myself. Many people don't understand it, the fact that some people need to leave their normal lifes behind to do so. "You need to get a normal 9-5 job, baby and a house.. " "When you become a mom you will forget that sort of thoughts.." "Why won't you just buy a new couch!" Sorry mom and society, I'm not going to. I was not planning to leave alone (scared as ..), but I feel like I no longer have an option. I had a person with who we were supposed to get married and leave together, but now I have to heal from him as well... and I'm soon thirty...You are so lucky to have eachother through your journey! You are an inspiration, and make me a little less afraid to follow my path. I do your yoga videos every week, thank you for them and for this video especially! Greetings from Finland(where life sounds a lot like in Canada..)!

      I am 17, and i realize that im feeling what you're feeling and the fact that i thought "when i grow older im gonna have everything figured out" just disappear because healing really takes time. And it doesnt matter where you are or who you are, we all know deep down we need to let go of what we used to know and start a new life somewhere. I wish i could do that now but i know 5 years from now maybe i will be somewhere else taking my healing energy to the next level. And if you have the opportunity to get away, you should!! Listen to your heart. :)

    Yall live an inspirational life, and the perspective you see life in is a breath of fresh air. I'm proud of yall for using your life in such an impactful and unique way, and showing the rest of the world yall's journey. I've been watching yall's yoga videos for a while and really enjoy the peace that you guys speak of. I clicked on this video, caught by the title 'depression' and wanted to share some of my thoughts. It's amazing ya'll are pursuing what is healthy for your emotional and physical self, and I wanted to encourage you both to explore what your souls are searching for. I know that God has put yall on your unique journey for his amazing purposes, and I would love for yall to be able to carry the peace that He provides wherever you go- and to live abundantly, which is having a close relationship with God, that He will provide all your needs. Emotionally, He is the prince of peace, He is where we receive joy and hope in the midst of the chaos in this world. And it sounds like ya'll are on journey to remove yourselves from the craziness of the ego-centered life, and that's exactly what God is calling all of us to, but we don't have to always travel away from the world in order to gain that. Paul was in prison and wrote this: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.- Philippians 4:11-13
    See Paul found his contentment being close with the Lord and having God fill him with his wisdom, love, and peace. I hope ya'll can search what your soul needs, and ask God for direction and clarity, and He will provide.
