Find moments of stillness and reflection while carving to center yourself from "summary" of Carve: A Simple Guide to Whittling by Melanie Abrantes
Allow yourself to find moments of stillness and reflection while engaging in the act of carving. This practice can serve as a way to center yourself and connect with your inner thoughts and emotions. Carving, with its repetitive and rhythmic motions, can create a sense of calm and focus within you. As you carve, pay attention to the sensations and movements of the wood beneath your hands. Focus on the way the blade cuts through the material, the sound it makes as it slices through the fibers. These sensory experiences can help you stay present in the moment and let go of any distractions or stressors that may be weighing on your mind.
Take the time to observe the shapes and forms taking shape under your guidance. Notice how each stroke of the blade contributes to the overall design of your creation. This mindful approach to carving can help you develop a deeper appreciation for the process and the materials you are working with.
Allow yourself to be fully immersed in the act of carving, letting go of any worries or preoccupations that may be occupying your thoughts. Embrace the meditative quality of this practice and let it guide you towards a state of inner peace and clarity. By finding stillness and reflection in your carving, you can create space for introspection and self-discovery.
