Every once in a while, we’re reminded that we are part of something greater. Whether it’s a seemingly miraculous coincidence or it may come in a moment’s inspiration that leads to our next great project. It’s funny how much a connection with the divine can spark debate or disagreement, when really, every one of us has a spiritual experience at some point.

I think also of the concept of Flow (and the corresponding documentary years ago) that describes the transcendent state artists, athletes and others experience when they are in their ‘flow’. I understand this state as the ecstasy of allowing ourselves to be moved by something greater. The commentators in the movie outlined specifics such as absolute concentration, timelessness, a vast feeling of ease... Isn’t this the spiritual experience we have all touched, and long to return to?

The challenge is - it can be hard to remember. Unless we are blessed with our life’s work and our flow to be one, many have to craft time and circumstances to allow us to enter this state. The beauty is - there are so many ways to get there! When we think of a spiritual gift, it can ideally be one that serves as a reminder. A symbol that inspires us to pause and remember the times and the ways we become part of something larger than ourselves.

Paloma Pottery has just the line of divine reminders to draw us out of our routine and into the realm of the spirit. Maybe your son has a spirit animal, a creature of the sea that evokes this state. Or is it your spouse who goes there when playing music? The Paloma Pottery line of magnets, keychains (totems, if you will) and ring holders can serve just this purpose. Best of all, your purchase truly supports the greater good, as an investment in eco-friendly and ethical products. Go ahead, touch the divine!
