Reflection Meditation
Ansel Adams (American, 1902–1984), Clouds Above Golden Canyon, Death Valley, California, 1946
Photographer, conservationist, writer and teacher, Ansel Adams believed in the power of landscape photography to move beyond the picture and stimulate a higher sense of contemplation in the viewer. Here, we see clouds sweeping the sky above the mountains, filling the frame and inspiring awe and reflection.
•Sit still, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and pause.
•Reflect on a loved one that has passed—their love, their touch, their smile.
•Each time we feel a gentle breeze, the warmth of the sunshine or see clouds in the sky—these can be comforting reminders that the memories of our loved one lives forever in our heart.
•Place your hands over your heart.
•Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
