  3. CW: Industrial action, strike action, higher education

    I would like to clarify that for myself and most of the colleagues I know who are taking #IndustrialAction or are on #strike today in #Queensland, this has never been primarily about wage rises, but rather our disgust at the mass #casualisation of #TertiaryEducation, effectively increasing workloads, and cutting younger graduates out of meaningful employment pathways. #NTEU

    Developing ekagrata, or one-pointed concentration, is an essential skill in meditation that enhances mental focus and facilitates deeper states of awareness. Here are some steps and techniques to cultivate ekagrata:

    1. Choose a Focus Point:
    • Select an object of focus, such as the breath, a mantra, a candle flame, or an image. This will be your pratyaya, the object to anchor your attention.
    1. Create a Quiet Environment:
    • Find a peaceful, distraction-free space for your practice. Minimizing external noise helps reduce mental distractions.
    1. Set a Regular Practice Time:
    • Consistency is key. Establish a regular meditation routine, even if it’s just a few minutes each day, to build concentration over time.
    1. Mindful Breathing:
    • Focus on your breath, noticing each inhalation and exhalation. Allow your mind to become absorbed in the rhythm of breathing, gently bringing it back whenever it wanders.
    1. Use of a Mantra:
    • Repeating a mantra silently or aloud can help concentrate the mind. Choose a mantra that resonates with you and repeat it rhythmically to maintain focus.
    1. Visual Focus:
    • Concentrating on a visual object, like a candle flame or a mandala, can help fix your attention. Keep your gaze steady and let your mind become absorbed in the image.
    1. Progressive Relaxation:
    • Begin your practice with a few minutes of progressive muscle relaxation to calm the body and mind, making it easier to focus.
    1. Mindful Observation:
    • As thoughts arise, observe them without attachment or judgment. Imagine them as clouds passing by, gently returning your focus to the chosen point.
    1. Increase Duration Gradually:
    • Start with short sessions and gradually increase the duration as your concentration improves. This helps build mental stamina without overwhelming the mind.
    1. Be Patient and Compassionate:
      • Developing ekagrata is a gradual process. Be patient with yourself and maintain a compassionate attitude towards any difficulties or distractions you encounter.

    By consistently practicing these techniques, you can enhance your ability to achieve ekagrata, leading to deeper meditation and greater mental clarity.

  12. I’m overall pleased with the outcome and the students’ ability & willingness to try using visual language, particularly as this is outside their usual academic writing. Some beautifully sensitive pieces! My commentary is in English, but their work is in Italian, but presumably online automatic translation could help them sharing the blog w/friends? #comics #visualMethods #visualSociology #geography #creativeGeography

  13. Just out of a meeting discussing my second dissertation draft. Confident that I'll be able to submit the final draft at the end of 2022, and defend in February 2023!
    What a journey. #Hokusai #earlymodern #paintingmanuals #poeticnexus #visualvocabularies #bookscholars #visualepistemology

  14. “Along the Line: Writing with comics and graphic narrative in geography”.

    NEW BOOK out soon with EPFL Press, the result of my long & slow border walk, archival work, and painstaking drawing. Will be available open access & direct from the publisher. Distributed internationally from September via Chicago University Press.

    (My comic “Bornées”, published in French, was first written in English)
