Healing Benefits of Pottery

Every person is creative.  Healing is a creative and expressive process.  Working with clay on the wheel can help explore a person's creativity while they become part of a family in a safe and loving studio that has experienced and gentle employees.

The wheel begins to spin.  A lump of wet clay sits atop the wheel, your hands begin to form a mystical shape.  The mind and body synergies with the clay and universal energy it holds.  The mind begins to let the days stress wash away.  No worries, no frustrations, and no distractions - only the clay that transforms in ways that leave you in awe.

Each line, each indentation a story of the creator.  The longer the clay spins, the more relaxed and in tune the potter becomes.  It is as though the clay some how magically draws out the energy signatures that cause stress, worry, or anxiety.

Each piece of pottery created is one of a kind and made by hand on the wheel or hand crafted.  The clay is smooth to the touch.  Touching and holding the pottery during the creation process (and after the firing) is part of the healing process.  It should feel good to hold.

Working with clay on the pottery wheel can be a spiritual experience as a person connects with the clay.  As the clay is transformed in a nearly mystical way, one can find the calming and soothing nature flowing through the quartz based clay.   The natural flow of connectedness to Universal energy is only the beginning of the healing that can happen through pottery.

Whether you are brand new to pottery or a highly skilled potter, the benefits and therapy the craft provides are widespread.  Working with clay on the wheel allows for a creative expression of negative energies that strike us all.

It releases stress, shifts focus, and allows for a deeper connection through a quieting of the mind and body.  It has been shown to have positive effects for every age group, every disability and every mental dysfunction as there are no rights and wrongs in art.  It is simply a creative expression.

At Healing Touch Pottery, this is taken one step further.  All of the clays and glaze compounds are infused with various quartz and minerals allowing for the healing benefits of vibrational energy signatures to work with each individual.  Each piece is charged with Reiki energy once it is removed from the kiln, allowing for any that hold and touch it to also receive the vibrational energies of Reiki.

An afternoon at the studio at Healing Touch Pottery will transform your your thoughts and attitudes.  Come on in and experience for yourself the healing touch that pottery provides.

Reiki Explained

What is Reiki? 

Reiki is an ancient form of hands on healing originating in Japan. It is a transfer of positive energy from the healer to the person they are working on. It is thought that this transfer of energy can work with the body's natural ability to heal it's self. Reiki uses different techniques to restore and balance the life force energy within a persons body. It is believed to touch all three levels of a person; the body, mind, and spirit. The word itself means universal life energy and the basic premise of Reiki is to seek to restore the flow of energy within a person whose energy is unbalanced. 

Does it work? 

It depends on whom you ask. The art of Reiki is to have a person become deeply relaxed so that the vibrational energy flow within can be unblocked. Any physician will agree with the theory that deep relaxation or meditation will help anyone who is deeply stressed. Those that I have personally asked if Reiki works for them tell me that after each session they feel serene to radiating a joy from within. 

Is Reiki the same thing as Spiritual Healing? 

The two are similar as both use the laying on of hands to heal. There are major differences though. In Spiritual healing the healer is placing their hand directly onto the body of the person they are working on. In doing so, they are taking their own personal strong energy and releasing it into the person. In effect , the healer is doing all the work and participant is passive in the process only accepting the energy. 

In Reiki, the practitioner is not placing their hands directly on the person in most cases. The healer is placing their hand above the person allowing the recipient to draw any energy that is needed. So the recipient is as actively involved in the process as the healer is. It allows the person to take responsibility for their own healing. 

Atonement 

In many cases a Reiki Master will suggest that a person go through a series of atonement's. This is where the healer will use ancient sounds and symbols during a session or series of sessions to attune a persons nervous system bringing it to a higher level of energy vibrations. 

Long term use of Reiki can restore the body as energy channels are opened up allowing you to deal with stress and anxiety. The key to success with Reiki therapy is regular treatments. It will not cure you of your illness in one visit; however, long term practice will compliment any medical course of treatments that you are undertaking. 

The Results 

The benefits of whole body Reiki treatments that are undertaken on a regular basis is allowing your own body to become in tune with itself, thus reducing the stress and anxiety that faces each day. Whether you are a healthy person or one who is undertaking series medical treatments, the inward peace and harmony that the therapy bestows is priceless.
