Here is the latest mini-meditation; I hope it brings you some moments of peace.

The days are getting shorter, and soon these pelicans will begin their winter migration. Watching them fly in graceful formation at sunset is a reminder of the beauty and rhythm of nature. I hope you find this scene as calming and restorative as I do.

Thank you for your support of this work.
Here is the latest mini-meditation, filmed in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland.

This is the cable car ride from the village of Wengen to the top of the Männlichen mountain.

It is a bit longer than usual, as I filmed this in real time without time lapse. And it was not fully sunny when I was there…

Thank you for supporting this newsletter.

Here is a mini-meditation for you. The mountain peak left of center is the Jungfrau. The mountain directly facing you, looking like it has been sliced open, is the Black Monk.

Around the sixteen-second mark, you can observe mini-avalanches that are more like transient waterfalls.

]]><![CDATA[Introducing Mini-Meditations: from my soul to yours. ]]>https://worldloveforum.org/p/introducing-mini-meditations-fromhttps://worldloveforum.org/p/introducing-mini-meditations-fromFri, 13 Dec 2024 01:00:00 GMTWhat began years ago as a love of photography evolved over the years into something deeper—mini meditations that connect people to peace. Along with this, I began pairing videos with music—like pairing wine with food, always looking for the right combination.

When life took me to what I call the “mountain monastery” phase of my life—in a small village in the Swiss Alps—that became place where my videography developed further. After living there for about a year, I began making and sharing videos—time-lapse of the sun and clouds to cable car journeys of ascents and descents.

To my surprise, friends like Jen, Gena, and Sher shared how my videos offered them a much-needed moment of calm—a pause in the hectic pace of their busy days. Even my friends who rarely commented, like Lynne, David, Dayna, Julia and Malini, later told me they noticed the videos and how much they liked them.

Since leaving the mountain monastery, my filming opportunities have changed, but my love for creating these “homemade ” versions of video meditations hasn’t. They may not be polished, but what I discovered is that they touch souls.

So I am sharing them here in the hope that they bring you moments of calm and maybe even an uplift—and help you stay sane in an insane world.

If you liked the video above, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing with your friends!
