Rose Quartz - Guest Post from The Crystal Garden - Margaret Ann Lembo

Rose Quartz is favored by many people. And it's no wonder, because this pink quartz radiates love, comfort, compassion, well-being and a "dome of  Love."

A number of years ago I was in relationship with a man who was extremely negative. It took me longer than I would have liked to realize it before I disengaged from that connection. I learned a lot during the process. The red flag should have gone up when he responded to something I said that was positive and loving about the world. His reaction in a very nasty tone was, "What's wrong with you? Do you live in a Dome of Love?" I responded in my joyful and sometimes child-like way, "Oh, yes! Would you like to step into the Dome for a while? It's quite nice in here."

He would have no part of the Dome of Love which also was a dome of Integrity, Truth, Impecability and much more. His vibration couldn't handle it. I always have hope for people which is why I hung on to that relationship for a while. I finally woke up to realize I deserved someone who already lived in their own dome of Love, Integrity, Truth . . . and so on.

Rose quartz is a good relationship stone. It's good for bringing more love into all types of relationships. We have many types of relationships; the relationship with yourself, platonic relationships, work/career relationships, parental relationships, sibling relationships, animal relationships, garden relationships - OK  . . . we have a relationship with All That Is.

Take the time to contemplate Love and what the All That Is means to you.

Customer Testimonial

Walking into Healing Touch Pottery has truly helped me to heal.  My career demands long days caring for people.  For years I cared for others and never made time for myself.  When I found out that there was a pottery studio in Hampstead, I knew it was time to start making time for me.  I can stay that since I have been throwing pottery at Healing Touch Pottery I am a better mother, wife, friend and doctor because of it.  The time spent in the studio is my time to just sit, be still, and create.  They have really helped to realize that the bumps and boulders that use to distract me from my purpose...well it's all "just clay."  Thank you Healing Touch for the vision you had to build a destination for the people in this community to come, create, and heal.

Creativity: Carnelian - Guest Post by Margaret Ann Lembo

“I am fertile in body, mind, and spirit. Creativity flows through me in many ways. I am brave and bring my ideas into actuality. My imagination is the key to my success. I envision my future and joyfully participate as it unfolds.” Margaret Ann

Carnelian is orange agate. It’s a grounding stone which activates the navel chakra. The navel chakra is also known as the sacral chakra and is the place in the auric field where we develop our creative endeavors. Whether we are preparing to give birth to a child, a project, a meal, a beautiful garden, a piece of art work – or any other creation – the orange vibration located at this energy center is vital and flowing.

Use carnelian when you need to get moving, take action and need to bring projects to fruition.

Many of the stones in my blog posts are available for purchase through the online store – browse now!

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.

Healing Touch Pottery Goes to the Library

POTTERY

 

Summer Reading Program

 

Donna from Healing Touch Pottery came to the Hampstead Public Library with a real pottery wheel and clay to teach Middle School aged youngsters how to use the equipment that professional potters use.

 

Everyone had a chance to make a clay creation and paint it just the way the pros do.

 

A very talented group of kids!
