A Journey from Concept to Presence
Photography was love at first sight. As a visual artist, I created photographic installations based on conceptual ideas that fulfilled me for a time—until they didn’t. Eventually, it began to drain my energy. Looking back, I see how often I was searching outward, comparing, meeting required standards—far from my aligned self.
Although the creative process allowed me to reconnect and align within, I found myself running out of ideas, feeling a lack of authenticity. While there were moments of surprise and spontaneity, the process became hard work.
When I discovered Miksang Photography, everything shifted. I landed in a space of profound relaxation, where my physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and creative selves all aligned. Instead of hunting for “beautiful photos,” beauty came to me. And 'hard work' transformed into joyful effort. Each recognized perception as a moment of pure joy, inviting me to stop fully and letting it in.
Miksang Photography isn’t about becoming the “best” photographer. Rather, it’s about open, uninhibited seeing, allowing to pause, noticing what resonates (positively) and expressing yourself authentically in each moment. It encourages a deep, intimate connection to the here and now—wherever you are and whatever your mood.
Allow yourself to experience how Miksang Photography can liberate you from overthinking and hunting the perfect picture. Discover a shift to calmness, clarity and discovering infinite richness, letting simplicity emerge within and in the world around you.
Many Miksang students feel this transformation from the very beginning. Miksang’s purpose is deeply personal: to help you discover beauty in your everyday world, letting it in—moment by moment. ~Hèlen Vink
