the beautiful in the broken

This is the photo I mentioned in my previous post. My friend's camera is broken and the effect is creative.

Glorious, huh?

Even the striations in the sky are lovely - like the sky is made of fabric.

I've just mentioned Chi Kung in my #creativecameratips on twitter. Breathing from the Hara or lower tantien (energy centre), brings a huge number of benefits - extra mental clarity, enhanced spatial orientation and more resourceful breathing...to name only three.

I practiced chi gung or Chi Kung (or Qi Gong!) daily for a period of a year and a half. I look back now and can see it was a period of inner strengthening and settling - not that I really noticed overtly at the time. And things changed in that period, quite dramatically. One might even say practicing chi gung enhances your 'destiny path' or 'makes you more you'. 

Anyway I mention all this because my friend Kevin practices it - you can see his blog Chi Kung Life where he's making daily Chi Kung practice possible in an easily assimilated way.  He also tweets if you want your tips even more bite sized! I guess the shadow on the right is probably Kevin holding his camera up - but it could be him doing 'the Great Tai Chi circle'....

Breathe and enjoy. Beauty is more findable than you knew.
