This was a photo taken from my recent NC500 trip! I had spent a lot of my time this year indoors, whether it was at work or doing uni work, so really enjoyed spending some time outdoors this summer. The scenery was amazing and felt really good to catch up on my dose of fresh air :)

This photo reminds me of when I spent a couple of summers during my university tourism degree working on Mackinac Island in Michigan, USA. One of my favourite things to do was to look out over the lake and relax with a great book

This is a simple road on Skye. I chose it because my personal concept of spirituality centres on the idea of reflection and perpetual self-improvement. The road represents this journey: walking along, I can be thinking, enjoying, experiencing, reflecting, developing, pausing, back-tracking, admiring, living and loving.

Since I was little I was always told Stories by my family about white feathers appearing and their meaning. When ever I see I feather it makes me think of a loved one who has passed and this is their way of showing you they are nearby. I was given this necklace after my nana passed away and I wear it all the time. When I look at it , it helps me to remember her and brings me comfort knowing that she is somewhere safe!

I want to understand the fullness of living experience, and by this I mean to find a means to explore through reason and reflection, the unrealised or partly realised fullness of 'God', (i.e. the advent and horizon of our collective experiences), so as to come to a fuller awareness of the affectivity of free human actions, and such phenomena, of actions that are expressive of love.

I took this picture in the Philippines. The sunset and calmness of the water made me feel very connected and relaxed. I enjoyed sitting on the quiet beach reflecting on what I had seen around me and how different it was to the life I lived at home. This connection and reflection on the world is how I think about spirituality.

Spirituality. I love being around nature and open water - it is my happy place. I feel relaxed and grounded once I hear the sound or step into the water. For me, it strips away the material things in life and reminds me of what is important and how beautiful life can be.

I chose this image as the beauty and vastness of the night sky has always filled me with peace, wonder and hope. The beach is also my 'safe place' where I can rest my mind and relax - 'simply be'. The wonder of the night sky and the beach help me reflect on the endless opportunities available, the countless discoveries of the world, the unknown, what is out there, my values and beliefs...it really grounds me, and really gets in touch with the senses, and that idea of embodied cognition.

I have chosen this image of Aberdeen beach which is a five minute walk from my new home. I have quickly learned not to take this for granted as in my home town, the nearest beach was a twenty minute drive away. I am also mindful that for others, this may be even further. The beach has always filled me with a sense of peace and calmness and I am grateful I will be able to distance myself from life's other stresses for a little while and find my source of peace just minutes from my front door.

Most days I try to go for  a walk inn the woods beside my house.

For me, spirituality is about feeling a connection with other things and people in the outside world. It's the moments when you feel that you are a part of something bigger, and that you belong. I feel spiritual when I have meaningful, loving conversations and connections with other people, or when I'm out in nature and remember our inherent connectedness to the outside world.
