'Collective Molecular Photography'
To practice the technique of Veda Austin 'Collective Molecular Photography' (CMP) method, you will need the following:
Glass petri dish (10 cm wide; avoid plastic for better results)
Water (preferably spring water, but any source will suffice initially; avoid distilled water)
Tablespoon (2 tablespoons for a 10 cm petri dish)
Domestic freezer (set at around -23°C or -9.4°F, freeze for 5.20 minutes)
Camera capable of clear, close-up photos (a mobile phone, like an iPhone, is suitable)
Paper towel or tea towel to dry it on the back so you can see the image
Before you begin, remember:
Clear your mind of expectations.
Allow the water to reveal itself naturally.
Focused attention enhances the light, fostering a relationship and chemistry with the water.
Just as we feel when admired, water responds to conscious attention.
Observation Tips:
Let the water show its natural state; observe the patterns it presents. •
Avoid expecting water to create images on demand; allow it the freedom to choose.
Demanding specific behavior from water is as effective as requiring someone to love you. Interaction with Water: • Use a written word/number, image, object, thought, or music to interact with the water in the petri dish. • For more details, refer to Veda Austin's homepage. Please share your SEED water photos with me and have fun.
