Celebrities are known for their extravagant lifestyles, luxurious homes, and high-end fashion choices. But when it comes to finding inner peace and balance, they turn to a more humble and down-to-earth activity – pottery. And one of the most sought-after potters in Hollywood is none other than Patrick Johnston.
Recently, Johnston sat down with ET to reveal the special reason why A-listers are flocking to the Temple of Mediclaytion to hug pots. It may sound like a strange concept, but as Johnston explains, it’s more than just a simple hug – it’s a form of therapy.
The Temple of Mediclaytion, located in the heart of Los Angeles, is a sacred space for those seeking to reconnect with themselves and find inner healing. And the unique therapy offered here involves hugging pots, a practice that has gained popularity among celebrities and non-celebrities alike.
But why pots? According to Johnston, pots have been used for centuries as vessels to hold nourishment and sustenance. And in the same way, they can also hold our emotions and energy. By hugging a pot, we are essentially hugging ourselves and releasing any negative emotions or energy that we may be holding onto.
Johnston’s pottery journey began at a young age when he discovered his love for the craft. He honed his skills and eventually became a master potter, creating beautiful pieces that caught the attention of many celebrities. But it wasn’t until he started incorporating the therapeutic aspect of pottery that his work gained even more recognition.
Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Reese Witherspoon have all been spotted at the Temple of Mediclaytion, hugging pots and finding solace in the process. And it’s not just for the A-listers – anyone can come to the temple and experience the healing power of pottery.
The process of hugging a pot is simple yet profound. You first choose a pot that resonates with you, whether it’s the color, shape, or texture. Then, you hold the pot close to your heart and take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to connect with the energy of the pot. As you hug the pot, you release any tension or negative emotions, allowing yourself to feel grounded and at peace.
Johnston believes that pottery has the power to heal and transform us from the inside out. He says, “Pottery is a form of meditation. It allows us to slow down, be present, and connect with our inner selves. And when we hug a pot, we are hugging our own emotions, releasing any negative energy and making space for positivity and growth.”
The Temple of Mediclaytion offers various workshops and classes, including “Hug a Pot” sessions, where participants can learn the art of pottery and experience the therapeutic benefits firsthand. And for those who can’t make it to the temple, Johnston also offers online courses and tutorials, making the healing power of pottery accessible to everyone.
The concept of hugging pots may seem unconventional, but for those who have tried it, the results are undeniable. It’s a practice that allows us to slow down in this fast-paced world, connect with ourselves, and find peace and balance in our lives.
So the next time you see a celebrity hugging a pot, know that it’s not just a photo-op – it’s a form of self-care and therapy. And thanks to Patrick Johnston and the Temple of Mediclaytion, this ancient practice of pottery has found a new home in Hollywood, bringing inner peace and healing to all who seek it.
