Tatra pratyaya-eka-tānata dhyānam (PYS 3.2) — "When you focus your attention (psychic energy) on one object, or when you fix your mental suggestion on one idea and hold it there continuously without distraction, the result is meditation (dhyāna)."
This Yoga Sutra forms the foundation of the zine, which combines a meditation guide (a light-visualization practice) with a visual interpretation of sensations and thoughts that arise throughout the process. The zine follows a path through shifting meditative states: from chaos and mental entanglement to calmness and a return to reality in a renewed condition.

Each copy is printed and hand-bound by me. The zine is made in mixed media: digital collages from film photos and scans and digital illustrations on translucent tracing paper. Inside, three layers of perception:
Each copy includes a personal insert/postcard - a small chronicle of the moment it was assembled: weather, sounds, thoughts, mood. Another layer of observation, of self and surroundings.
- images of bodily and emotional sensations
- instruction for light visualization meditation pracice
