This month, we bring the key cyberpsychology concepts used in VR Therapy to you. Enjoy!
Good morning. I hope this finds you well. This week, summer ended, and autumn took over quite drastically. Last week and weekend were hot, way too hot, and I was worried that all our roses would open up too much and later suffer in the first frosts (sometimes to be expected mid-Ocotber in the UK). This morning is close to zero, actually.
Good morning! I hope this finds you safe and well. Each time I return to Substack, I notice how much happens in a week or two – I am so happy that I practice Nature awareness and my days are full of green and wildlife observations. The second part of September was full of blooms and wildlife. As the days grow shorter and my work commitments speed up with the counselling practice getting busier, too, I am making more effort to balance out the screen time with Nature Connectedness.
Welcome to our September Newsletter. As the summer softly shifts into autumn, I am starting my journey with the Vunja! We Will Dance With The Mountains Academy and my small oddship group from a few continents. I am entering this community to continue unlearning my White, Euro-patriarchal ways of thinking and step into more feeling. I do this because feeling and re-connecting with ourselves and re-authoring our stories (individual, collective, planetary) is at the core of liberation psychologies.
Good morning. I hope your Saturday is starting softly. My week was most intense, so I am noticing just how grateful I am for this Substack space this morning: each time I arrive to write here, I feel spaciousness and freedom of possibilities; I put down the week’s load and enter a restful state of mind.
My partner and I have been using Agape fairly regularly for the past few months. I wanted to use it for a sustained period of time before writing a review so that I could see the longer-term effects of using it on our relationship. Overall we have found it helpful for starting conversations on topics that may not always naturally come up and as another avenue to show our appreciation for one another.
Good morning. I hope this finds you well. I paused writing for August and am now returning with autumnal feels. The summer always blends in smoothly into the next season here in the UK, and August somehow feels strange, hectic, all over the place. Compared to Poland, the UK weather is generally milder, with seasons not as pronounced and sharp edges as in my homeland, so I am used to this soft fluidity and shifts between rain and sun, wind and soft, calm air. Even with the clearly shifting weather patterns due to climate change, somehow, I am accepting that our surroundings will increasingly be less and less predictable.
Google Lens brings up information relevant to your original images, identified by visual analysis. Google explains it as ‘a set of vision-based computing capabilities that can understand what you’re looking at and use that information to copy or translate text, identify plants and animals, explore locales or menus, discover products, find visually similar images, and take other useful actions’. Using google lens allows you to search using an image and gathers similar images and content from the internet.
Good morning, I hope this finds you well. I am writing this sitting at a bedroom window, listening to the wind and soft rain in Three Sisters, the tall trees we are blessed with here. It’s a wet and warm weekend in Bristol. I am super excited about a friend visiting us today from Switzerland, so I am also fidgety, just like Nature today. Movement is good, though, and it’s nice to use Nature for metaphors that help self-reflection and morning emotional check-in with ourselves.
Good morning. I hope this finds you safe and well. It’s been a busy time for me, so I am entering the weekend with the intention of slowing down. In Wales, you see “Araf” written on the roads to remind you about the speed limitations (or opportunities). My body screams against any speed faster than 60 km/h, so I love the sign on my way to and from counselling work – 5 miles per hour! Every time I enter this alley, I bow to the trees and thank them for watching over me. I bow them goodbye, too.
