PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

This week, I am taking a glassblowing class called Flameworking that is blowing glass on a torch at the Appalachian Center for Crafts.  During our first class, we were asked to introduce ourselves and discuss why we are taking this class.   I recounted my first encounter with glassblowing in 2010 that I believed I had my first past life memory while hot glassblowing, also called furnace glassblowing.

In 2010, I decided to try glassblowing as I had always been attracted to glass after taking stained glass classes.  During my first encounter with glassblowing while standing in front of the glory hole, or a furnace to reheat glass to soften it in order to manipulate it, I had a distinct memory of doing this before. During this memory, I recalled turning the pipe in the glory hole and recalled how to center the glass on the blow pipe.  Many of the techniques of glassblowing came very naturally to me, and I believe I may have done this during a past life.

Glass is very sensual and feminine, as it is fluid in its molten state, and curves in shape in its solid state. When creating in glass, it is through feel and the right brain that give us the most success.  When we create in glass, we co-create with glass as it is through a connection with the glass that translates to artistic expression.  When we create through glass, it is connecting with the feminine and finding our own Divine Feminine within.  When we connect with her, we also are able to express in this artistic form.

My spiritual growth can be seen through my growth as a glass artist.  With each class and more in depth exploration into this medium, I also am maturing spiritually as a person. May you find spiritual growth through your artistic expression. Infinite love and peace. (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
