A Moment of Balance It’s spring equinox a fleeting tiny sliver of time for considering your footings and directions. Today marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the south. A half light half dark time. So while our sun is above the equator and the whole world is briefly aligned may you look for balance somewhere in your life today. This was my sign this morning my little frog paper weight doing his best to adjust. #equinox #VernalEquinox #balancethroughnature #springequinox #adjusting #lighthalfoftheyear #artistprintmaker #laneybirkhead #naturelover #nature
Leaf Drawing After a few hours in admin land, I’m enjoying a little bit of quiet meditative drawing using a whitebeam leaf as model. Nature just doing its thing making lots of holes as it dries. Looking through and clearing some space, then feeling the balance of restful observation. The equinox is coming on Wednesday so just practicing some equilibrium. #leafdrawing #graphitedrawing #meditativedrawing #pencildrawing #sketchbookstudies #observationaldrawing #whitebeam #inspiredbynature #naturelover #treefriend #balancethroughnature #balance #equilibrium #woodland #woodlandProject #laneybirkhead
Space, Balance and Renewed Energy It’s time for a good old spring clean and therefore I’m taking the opportunity to have a fresh look at my artistic practice, looking for more creative space with a focus on balance this month in time for the equinox. Hi Folks here’s a springtime hello to you all, I’m Laney, an artist and printmaker based in North Yorkshire, UK. I create a regular bimonthly newsletter in which I write about my art, studio practices, bee garden and how the year in nature inspires my work among other musings. If you fancy hearing more about all of that and any upcoming art events and exhibitions of mine, and you haven’t yet done so already, you can subscribe to my mailing list at the link above in my bio. Looking forward to seeing you there and sharing the lengthening days and bursting of spring with you #artistprintmaker #artistsnewsletter #artisticspace #balancethroughnature #balance #printmaker #printstudio #printed #laneybirkhead

Integrating the four elements—water, fire, air, and earth—into our lives can be a transformative journey that fosters harmony and balance. Each element is also associated with a particular Chakra or Energy Center. Here are some ways to embrace and incorporate these elements: 💦Water: Explore the fluidity and adaptability of water by engaging in activities such as swimming, taking relaxing baths, or spending time near bodies of water. Embrace the emotional and intuitive aspects associated with water by practicing mindfulness or engaging in creative expression. 🔥Fire: Harness the transformative energy of fire by incorporating it into rituals, such as lighting candles or sitting around a campfire. Engage in activities that ignite your passion and enthusiasm, such as pursuing hobbies, setting goals, or engaging in physical exercise. 🌬️Air: Embrace the invigorating and liberating qualities of air by spending time outdoors, going for walks or hikes, and practicing deep breathing exercises. Engage in intellectual pursuits, engage in stimulating conversations, and seek mental clarity through meditation or journaling. ⛰️Earth: Connect with the grounding and nurturing essence of the earth by spending time in nature, gardening, or practicing earthing (walking barefoot on the ground). Cultivate a sense of stability and practicality by establishing routines, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and developing a strong connection with the natural world. Which element do you feel needs more integration in your life? . . . #ElementalIntegration #BalanceThroughNature #FourElementsJourney #HarmonyWithin #EmbracingNature #FindingEquilibrium #HolisticLiving #ElementalHarmony #LifeCoach #SeekingBalance #ChakraHealing #Chakras #ChakraAlignment
A moment of perfect balance the other day when the sun was exactly above the equator. A world half in shadow half in sunlight 12 hours of each. I am seeking balance in my life a lot right now, in recovery from a bout of difficult times. It seems very fitting to mark this spring equinox with quiet moments in nature. A lovely walk with an old friend to Marton Wood settled the day. I recognise that balance is not stable either, a slight movement of mind or body can alter everything. But for now I am working at it putting in the effort like I’m standing on one leg adjusting my weight focusing my mind. May you find your balance in nature this week too. #spring #springequinox #balancethroughnature #natureproject #march #martonwood #slowart #woodland #mindfulnesspractice #countingmyblessings #laneybirkhead
Woodland project I’m now starting to see the wood for the trees, having spent the last year observing and recording a small patch of woodland as part of the Marton Wood Slow Art Initiative run by Chrysalis Arts Development. My ongoing engagement with nature is starting to create ideas for new artwork and opening up the new directions I was hoping for. This project over the last few months has been a welcome distraction, whilst my personal life has been so difficult and full of sadness and loss. A fresh focus has helped me to retain a sense of balance and well being. Having a purpose out in nature and being outside in the woodland, with all its evocative smells and sounds has been grounding and takes me away from things I’m struggling with. The snowdrops and aconites have finished but other things now are pushing through the still cold ground, sometimes under a blanket of snow. The days are slowly lengthening and I’m feeling ready to start making plans with the seeds of ideas coming from this woodland project. Here’s hoping you find a place that brings you that inner balance and energy to move forward in your own way. #natureproject #march #martonwood #balancethroughnature #slowart #woodland #mindfulnesspractice #countingmyblessings #chrysalisartsdevelopment #laneybirkhead
Spending time in nature can enhance our ability to handle our stress. It helps us become rooted in our heart instead of our thinking brain. It awakens all of our senses to recognize our connection to all that is. #natureheals #naturehealsthesoul #naturehealing #healingwithnature #balancethroughnature

🌱Balance is like a growing plant.🌱 The plants energy flows through each cell and system to whatever the most immediate priority is to sustain life - sunlight, water, minerals, healing from damage, temperature, etc. Later, the energetic system balance flows to a new area of need. Follow the example of a plant and learn to maintain balance through energetic motion. Try it out: When feelings of overwhelm and angst creep in, try to situate yourself near any growing plant and feel the naturally balanced energy of the Earth bring balance to your soul. #balance #growth #balancethroughnature #balancedmovement #energeticbalancing #natureheals #energyhealing #energyiseverything #movementismedicine #getoutside #groundyourself #groundyourenergy #wednesdaywisdom #soulfulbalance #sundaliwellness #lifestylecoach

Watching Shelby work with Sable learning tasks is so rewarding! Sable was on the verge of being euthanized at 6.5 mo old for severe aggression towards humans especially kiddos. She was rescued by Happy Tails Rescue and fostered by Lynn Hendricks Smoliak where Sable began her rehabilitation. She was just misunderstood and did not trust humans. After 2.5 years she is thriving and doing amazingly well! This is because we understood who she naturally was and nurtured that to create a balance and social state of mind! How can you start this process? You can start by joining our Canine 101:Introduction to the basics. This starts nurturing a relationship with your dog that focuses on creating a social mind ready to learn and follow!

Sept 2018 - I love the magic certain places offer at night. You can listen to the peace that nature offers in the gardens of a palace full of history. How many people has a place like that seen over the years? and how many celebrations has it held? And yet, the peace of nature remains the same or it even grows as each plant becomes older, bigger and more powerful. Do we pay enough attention to all those little details in the middle of a multitudinary event? What are our priorities on those occasions? Do we give ourselves the permission to listen to the energy of the place and enjoy the good vibes? Let’s keep moving towards a more meaningful life awaken souls 💫✨💫✨💫✨💫🌲🍀🌲 #increasingvibration #spirituality #awakeningprocess #thepowerofnature #spiritualguides #purposefullife #evolution #meaningfullife #meditation #mindfulness #fullfilment #happiness #answersinnature #trasnformationprocess #healing #magicatnight #holabarcelona #holabcn #listentonature #welcometobarcelonaevent #natureatnight #palacewithgardens #balancethroughnature #palacetealbeniz #montjuic #grateful #feelingblessed #barcelonatreasures #kingresidenceinbarcelona
Oct 2018 - New energy as October has just began and we recently said goodbye to the summer. This is one of the things I enjoy most: feeling the energy of a tree, after hiking in nature and taking the last rays of sun before sunset. How could you stay in balance with the lack of nature’s vibrations? How can we sometimes forget how much we need nature? As your awareness process grows and you move towards a more meaningful life, the more you listen to your connection with each element of nature, the more it gives you back the answers, the more it shows you what you have hidden inside you and the more your inner channels open to the truth. Feeling blessed and grateful for being able to do a quick hike in nature between sessions of therapy and keep my vibration up even when everyday challenges are there. But remember beatiful souls that even if that is not your case, any plant that you might find in a park can be a way to connect to the power of nature and listen to its message and power of re-balancing you. Use every occasion with full awareness for a more purposeful life dear ones ⛰☀️⛰☘️🌿🍀🌳🌲🌳☀️ #increasingvibration #spirituality #awakeningprocess #thepowerofnature #spiritualguides #purposefullife #evolution #meaningfullife #meditation #mindfulness #fullfilment #happiness #answersinnature #spiritualtransformation #healing #overcomingchallenges #bethelight #listentonature #fall2018 #hikinginnature #quickhikes #balancethroughnature #sunrays #beforesunset #grateful #feelingblessed #innerjourney #innergrowth
This young man went to the Renaissance Festival this weekend. He was exhausted when he got home! It is dog friendly and a great place to work on our service dog training! It is also a place where having a Canine Good Citizen dog is great as well. So many people are drawn to a well behaved dog. There were so many dogs there but Baze had people so drawn to him to pet and take pictures of him. The main comments I heard were “Wow he is so well behaved” “oh my gosh he is soooo chill” “Wow he isn’t phased by anything” “Goodness you have an amazing dog” those are comments that make me so proud of all the work we are doing! We have our AKC S.T.A.R Puppy and Canine Good Citizen classes starting November 4th if you’d like to sign up and help your dog and work towards having an amazing relationship with your dog and show off how well mannered they are!

There are few colors I love more than green. And few gemstones I love more than jade. Jade is a stone of the heart 💚 so it can attract and enhance love of all kinds, it harmonizes the wearer with the flow of nature and promotes generosity and abundance. So what's not to love?! 💚 Plus I came back from India with some beautiful, multihued green jade and I cannot wait to create with it!! 💚 #treasuresfromindia #jadegreen #creativedaily
