Nature Immersion
Short Answer
Spend time in nature and practice noticing subtle patterns: repeated shapes, tiny movements, animal behavior, and the interplay of light and shadow.
How to Do It (10–20 minutes)
- Choose a natural setting (park, trail, backyard).
- Start with 2 minutes of stillness: breathe and widen the field.
- Pick one “channel” for 3 minutes: light/shadow, motion, or sound.
- Then rotate channels (3 minutes each).
- End by writing 3 patterns you noticed.
What to Look For
- Repeated geometry (branching, spirals, clustering).
- Animal attention cues (head turns, freezes, scanning).
- Wind signatures (leaf shimmer, grass ripple).
- Light gradients and reflected color shifts.
