Clay Pause Buttons are a self-soothing mindfulness tool - a tangible cue to remind you to PAUSE…breathe deeply….recalibrate the mind/body connection & restore your internal sense of peace. TO USE - simply cradle one in your hand and rest your thumb in it, allowing your attention to settle on the smooth texture and beautiful colors as you slow your breathing. Clay Pause Buttons provide the added benefit of literally being a piece of the earth - so you are grounding yourself as you hold it. Each one is thoughtfully formed, individually dipped in layers of beautiful glazes and kiln-fired twice - making it a unique pocket sized work of functional art. Expect and enjoy the fact that no two are exactly the same. *With children & teens - Clay Pause Buttons can be an effective way to teach & encourage development of healthy emotional self-regulation & self-soothing habits. *We’ve heard from other clients and therapists that use them in their parenting & counseling practices that children have benefitted from having their own Clay Pause Button handy in situations that cause them to feel anxious, especially when used to anchor calming breathwork. * We’ve also heard from clients that their kids/teens who struggle with attention (ADHD) have kept a Clay Pause Button in their pocket at school to help with focusing in class - instead of a plastic fidget toy - with greater success because of the grounding/calming effect that a Clay Pause Button seems to have on the parasympathetic nervous system. (The above statements are not officially “scientifically researched claims” - they are simply honest, real life feedback from my clients) CARE INSTRUCTIONS: I only use food-safe non-toxic glazes. Each piece can be gently washed in warm water with soap. Kiln Fired Pottery is durable enough to be washed in a dishwasher but by nature - ceramics are also breakable - please handle with care; similar to glass - avoid exposing ceramics to extreme contrasting temperatures to prevent cracking.
