Custom Meditation Totem

from $250.00

Helen Hierta’s Meditation Totems are ceramic sculptures built with intention—stacked forms that serve as visual anchors for presence, reflection, and connection. Ranging in size from tabletop scale to monumental 8-foot installations, each totem is mounted on a sturdy metal base and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display.

These totems are available in a range of glazes and colors, from earthy neutrals to bright, saturated hues. Many are created as part of thematic series, including:

Rainbow Meditation Totems
These popular totems are inspired by the seven chakras—energy centers in the body, each represented by a distinct color. From grounding reds at the base (root chakra) to the transcendent whites and purples at the top (crown chakra), these vibrant pieces embody alignment, healing, and spiritual balance. Whether used for meditation, ritual, or simply visual joy, these pieces resonate deeply with those seeking harmony and inner clarity.

Beach Grass Series
Rooted in Helen’s life on the shores of Lake Huron, this series reflects the quiet movement, color, and serenity of the natural world around her. Greens, ochres, sands, and cool blues echo dune grasses, freshwater tones, and the shifting Michigan light. These totems ground the viewer in a sense of place—evoking calm, stillness, and seasonal rhythms.

Each Meditation Totem is hand-built and glazed with care, offering a one-of-a-kind sculptural experience. Clients are invited to collaborate with Helen to create a custom Meditation Totem—one that reflects their personal journey, home environment, or symbolic meaning.

Whether you’re looking for a centering object for your meditation space, a sculptural statement for your garden, or a meaningful gift, Helen’s totems offer a timeless and grounding presence.

Mediation Totems are available as 1-foot, 3-foot, 5-foot, or 8-foot.

Helen Hierta's sculptures are inspired by personal meditations on the flow of energy...how we connect,  how we process, how we are one with the stars.  They are meditation totems encouraging our aspiration to find total harmony within self. 

Within her practice the recurring geometrics are metaphysical exchanges in both the creation and the encounter.  Each handmade piece is hollowed like a head then threaded onto an iron spine.  The ceramic shapes are their own entitty, their own color, sound, yet filtered together complete whole poems.

Yogic traditions teach a peaceful Kundalini energy coiled in rising from the pelvic floor up and around the spine and out through the crown, an amazing vision of the inner eco system.  The practice of meditation and breath work raises the power intentionally through body chakras centers of vibrational frequences, spinning wheels of life taking in or casting off energies.

The seven primary rainbow colors affect a simple framework to understand the chakra vibrational rhythms.  Deeper studies reveal the complexity of chakra auroric fields, with varying spectrums expressing individual health or enlightened understanding.  Numerous forces within us overlap as prismatic hues, and affirm that light is consciousness.
