Capturing Stillness: Mindful Moments Through the Lens
"The creative process, like a spiritual journey, is intuitive, non-linear, and experiential. It points us toward our essential nature, which is a reflection of the boundless creativity of the universe."

Capturing Confidence: Finding Calm
Since mobiles took over , our minds are constantly distracted:
Checking emails first thing in the morning
Constantly checking social media
Doom scrolling ( checking the bad news)
In that distraction we lose the connection to our bodies.
Too often we are feeling aches and pain, exhaustion, back pain, neck pain, losing sleep and eating foods that no longer serve us just to distract us from the stress
When I embraced a practise of orienting on a daily basis, usually when I was out walking with my camera , I found I was able to not only see more detail but feel calmer, a reconnection to my environment and myself.
In the attached link below, is a 2 minute lesson on how to practise orienting.
A word of warning - it is so simple many will disregard it and not bother. And I get that because that was me - for more than a year!
More than a year! Can you believe it? I thought it was boring!
But here is the thing - you might do too! And that is ok because I get it!
What are the benefits of this?
Improving concentration as you reduce distractions.
Reduced stressful reactions to life, decreasing anxiety or overwhelm.
Improved self awareness, feeling more bodily reactions and being kinder to the body
Confidence, improving how you feel about yourself as you move through the world.
Greater ability to manage negativity and stress when they arise in your life
Feelings of being more grounded
Have a practise , see what YOU think, and let me know.
