Healing Art Photography and Fine Art Gifts

I believe in the healing power of nature. If we take a moment to immerse ourselves in an image of nature we will feel rejuvenated, renewed and revived. Studies have shown that what we look at not just affects our mood, but also how we relate to others and our attention to detail. So if your feeling stressed, run down or just deserve a break, look at the images under "Healing Art" and immerse yourself in them.
My new line of photo gifts enables you to have Healing Art with you wherever you go and also to give as gifts to those who may not be into wall art.

The photogifts include watches, clocks, clothing, hip flasks,keyrings, usb sticks, phone covers, ipad covers,kindle covers, cushions, cards, stickers and so much more. Click on the tab that says Photo Gifts to see them all.

I send out an e-newsletter to anyone who wants one, including a free monthly image to use as a screensaver or desktop image to help in your healing and to lower your overall stress levels. I also let you know what I am up to and include any specials or coupons. To subscribe please send me an email at jules@juliaharwood.com with "Subscribe" in the subject line.

We are heading off again today, so I thought I'd give you a few more pics to enjoy. May they bring you peace and wellness as you enjoy nature with me.
Snowball just for you.....my hubby's first encounter with snow!

Snow Gums, amazing trees growing above the snowline in Australia. I love the colours in the bark.

Another week on the road....

This is "The Nobbies" at Phillip Island in Victoria
many waterbirds nest here, penguins come in and the rock on the
left in the distance is "seal rock" because of the seals there.

This is Liffey Falls in Tasmania.
I love waterfalls, I find them so majestic, and yet so peaceful and tranquil
when you get the chance to just sit and enjoy them.

Reflections

I think reflections appeal to us because it is something we don't see on a regular basis, I think it challenges us to really look at a picture to see what is actually there, to see what the original image was and to see what new images the reflection creates. It allows us to be absorbed in the image and to actually 'Be' in the moment.
I hope these do this for you.
What do you see?

Sailing or flying?

Gordon River, Tasmania

Dead wood or art?

Practice What We Preach

Do you so often think positive websites and blogs are all a little "Pollyanna", in other words a little removed from the reality of everyday life.
For example my blog "Healing Art", can it really be healing or is it all pie in the sky.
Let me tell you, in the last month I have been put under incredible stress, had friends disappoint me, been wrongly accused and physically been stretched to breaking point. As each situation happened I put into practice what I teach and spent time out in nature. It worked BUT the cumulative effect became overwhelming. When the final blow fell I started crying and couldn't stop, after 4 hrs of trying positive talk, trying to control my emotions, trying to stop crying my husband said lets go for a drive, I said ok as I felt sorry for him having to deal with me like this. As we drove around nothing changed until we came to a beach & I said, "Hon, stop here". He did and we went down to the waters edge, I wandered off on my own looking at the rocks and shells and a blue heron that was there, I took some pics and noticed that I had stopped crying and I was beginning to feel stronger. I walked back to my hubbby and we walked along the beach. Although I still felt sad and dissapointed in the situation I was able to get on with life knowing that we can't control others and what they say & think, but that doesn't have to diminish me as a person and I can go on & be happy & fulfilled.
This is the blue heron as he took off. This was taken on my iphone, but I still wanted to share it with you.
So I would encourage you, when life becomes overwhelming take time out, time for you, go out in nature, absorb yourself in her and see what the results are.
Wishing each and everyone of you love and happiness, but most of all self acceptance and self love.
