요약 : This study explored the experience of using clay as a spiritual practice and looked in depth at the expressive and reflective aspects of the process for 9 women (8 Caucasian, 1 Hispanic, between the ages of 50 and 71), using heuristic, organic and art based research. The unique, individual experience of each woman's spiritual practice was garnered through 1-1/2 hour interviews, and answers to written questions without interpretation. The edited, transcribed tapes, integrated with answers to the questions, and photographs of the artists' images were presented without interpretation. Common threads in the experience were garnered through my involvement in the field of information gathered, including: my personal experience with clay; the interview process; transcribing, reading, listening, and focusing on to the women's stories; creating clay images of the coalescing field as I was experiencing it; embodying and meditating on the created images; and reflecting back through words, in a hermeneutic circle. Touch, left-brain/right-brain entrainment, and surprise were the common themes, which surrounded the expressive aspect of using clay. Common themes surrounding the reflective aspect fell into two major organizing patterns, the 7 chakras, and the Triple Goddess. The clay ignited and evoked (from the base chakra upwards): a life force energy; an ongoing birth of the self; increased self-esteem and self-empowerment; facilitation of emotional release and integration; increased voice; an avenue for prayer and meditation; integration of personality, a holding of paradox. The clay allowed full expression of womanhood, reflected in the three forms of the Triple Goddess: maiden, mother, and crone. The conclusion was that using clay as a spiritual practice was a healthy, rich, fully embodied, experience which deepened the psycho-spiritual lives of these women and offers the same potential for others.
