Photography as Prayer

I am using this tool as a way to find what speaks to me each day and notice the gentle connection I have with the world around me. I see that the images that draw me in are often parts of me that are being reflected out in the world. Much like the tarot deck and other card decks I use in my practice as a medium and intuitive, this app offers us moments of beautiful clarity and connection.

There is some irony in the fact that the phone is a device intended to connect you to the whole world, and it often disconnects you from the immediate world you live in. This app helps you to change that. Let go of the world, pick up your camera, and reconnect with your self. Although the name of the app might indicate its prayer or religion orientated, I believe this a much broader concept... Though daily exercises this app will help you focus on life and your immediate surroundings through a form of meditation with your phones camera. Tune in, turn it on, and drop out ( for ten minutes a day )

Usually the phone takes you away from yourself and your environment. What’s amazing about Photography as Prayer is it does the reverse, helping you focus on the things that matter to you and the place where you are, now. I love using this app. I’ve also shared it with my teenager and tween, and they’ve spent hours on it. It’s nice to give them an app that is good for our minds and our souls, too.
