Tangle Festival: 31 Days of Breath and Focus Day 5 Man O Man

Join me on TanglePod for a month of finding the ways to slow down with breath and focus with each of 31 different tangles.  We are focusing on the specific cadence that you can find, and how to use each one to encourage your practice to slow down and be in the moment.  Juliette and I often find different approaches to tangles, and in these short conversations will provide tips on approaching each tangle with focus in mind.  Use your journal, tiles or scratch paper and play with these exercises to see how you can find your rhythm too.

My favorite tip on tipple is watch for the tails on your orbs!! They are a good visual that you can use a little more focus.

I am starting off the month with a journal page of today’s tangle: Pangea

On the podcast I co-host (www.tanglepod.com) we are celebrating a different version of Inktober. Inktober was developed by Jake Parker in 2009, and is a wonderful way to be motivated to share your artwork, and just spend time being creative. We are putting the focus on the process, rather than the product, because Juliette and I both benefit from taking the time with our pens and paper, and practicing being present and focused with our work.

I hope you will join us for this series of focus and relaxation. Post it on your fridge, or post it on your social media, or keep it in your journal with some notes about the benefit that you get from the regular practice.

New TanglePod Episode: Punzel

In today’s episode of TanglePod we again pulled a tangle out of a hat and found Punzel to share. We had an interesting time exploring this tangle.   It is definitely one where a visual is helpful for learning so on my website page for the episode you will find a step out.

Having the time to talk about how this tangle is structured really helped me understand how to get it on paper.  We also share how to incorporate focus and breathing with this tangle.  When you practice the Zentangle Method with the purpose of focus and relaxation, it is really important to remember to incorporate breathing and being present.  We can always get too caught up in the visual – especially with a complicated tangle!

Juliette will have a different step out on her blog www.artsamuse.com to provide you even more reference in tackling this tangle.

New TanglePod Episode: Spontaneity

One scheduled recording day I proposed to Juliette that we just start talking and record it, to see where it went.  When we are working, our conversations often take tangents and turns and 45 minutes later I comment that we should have been recording that because it was so interesting.

After I convinced her this was a great idea – it eased her mind to have a theme so we chose Spontaneity – which doesn’t make the exercise super spontaneous but it was a really good start!  Maybe on a future episode it will be spontaneous without planning!

I’ll be interested to read how Juliette felt about the exercise on her blog www.artsamuse.com
