Enhance your Miksang Photo Selection with Confidence

Choosing your best Miksang photos is as much a part of the practice as capturing the fresh perception.

Selecting is a process of tuning into the original spark, the experience of being struck. It is about remembering instantly the way something stopped you upon seeing the picture, and allowing your intuition to guide you to what feels fresh, alive, and authentic as an end result.

Here’sa few ways to approach your selection process:

• Reconnect with your original perception − Look at each photograph and recall the moment you were struck and felt the flash of perception. Does the image evoke the same clarity and simplicity that you felt in that instant?
• FEEL rather than judge − Avoid analysing, comparing, or criticising your photographs. instead of asking whether an image is “good” or “perfect”, notice whether it genuinely reflects what you felt and understood while looking deeper
• Notice freshness − Miksang photographs carry a sense of newness and unfiltered seeing. Select images that feel vivid, gentle, open and genuine. Photographs that reflect the simple beauty you saw in that instant.
• Trust simplicity − The most impactful Miksang photographs are often remarkably simple. Allow yourself to choose images that express the essence of what you saw, without needing to make them more dramatic or complex or to simple.
• Let go of expectations about the end result − Miksang selection is not about creating the “perfect” photograph. It’s about honouring your awakeness, trusting the experience of fresh seeing, letting it in as it is, and expressing your perception authentically.
