As we knead, shape and mold the clay, it is a physical act, each movement coming from a deeper directive. This is especially enhanced when we do the clay exercises blindfolded, if age and condition appropriate. By removing the critical eye, the contact with the body’s felt sense is greatly enhanced. The safe setting then allows permission to connect with one’s knowing and feeling and to express any accompanying emotion. The process wakes up in a direct, visceral way, the cellular memory, with its valuable information and content. For some people who are fastidious about ‘getting dirty’, this activity gives permission to go past that constraint and discover the liberation and neutrality in it.

SPONTANEOUS CLAY
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
We may mold the clay only in a spontaneous manner, trusting whatever wants to emerge. We may set the intention on a specific theme, like making our body or a mask. When we mold something specific, we still maintain the spontaneous approach. When we do so, often repressed feelings about the specific situation express themselves freely and we relate to the problem from a place that is more inclusive of our intuitive, alpha brainwave state of consciousness, expanding our access to not only deeper emotions, but also to solutions that are inclusive and beyond the rational and logical viewpoint.
POST-CLAY INTEGRATION
After the clay exercise, integrative exercises follow where one travels through the created piece explore through intuitive means, its coded messages of wisdom, specific to the participant’s life. Some choose to have their piece fired in a kiln, to keep it long term.
