Enhance your Miksang Photo Selection with Confidence

Selecting your Miksang photos is an essential part of the practice, as much a meditation-in-action as forming the equivalent itself.

The beautiful, authentic photos arise naturally through the Miksang Method: trust the 5+1 steps.

You FEEL your photos from the flash of perception until you press the release button up to selecting your images.

Stay connected to the freshness of your initial perception during every stage of selection. Let this feeling guide you to choose images that reflect the purity of what you saw.

In the early stages of your Miksang practice, it’s best to avoid post-processing. Why?

Because conceptual thinking and creative ambition are often still very active. At this point, you may doubt your fresh perception or feel compelled to “perfect” the image. You might think, “This photo is too simple,” or “Someone’s already taken a similar shot.”

You may be tempted to add contrast, adjust colors, or crop the image—but this can detract from the pure perception you first experienced.

Once you feel more settled in Miksang, post-processing becomes a tool for balance. In the Miksang approach, editing serves to refine the photo so it reflects exactly what you saw in that moment. Through careful adjustments, you practice sincerity and precision, aligning the inner and outer aspects of Miksang.
