History of The Healing Silks Company
The Healing Silks Company is a business founded by a woman in Portland, Oregon. An amazing team of dedicated individuals who “get stuff done,” with a vast amount of clarity, direction, and intention is moving the company forward with intense momentum.
Long before the founding of Healing Silks in 2006, Diana Wesley, an Energy Psychology Practitioner, was fascinated by the scientific studies proving the human body’s reaction to certain types of healing fractals. It should be noted that not all fractals carry or create a soothing feeling. In fact, some can be quite irritating. It depends on the numeric values placed in the formulas.
Fractal designs (generated from strict geometric laws) produce forms and patterns of a beauty that affect human stress levels, lowering them to an extent that has been measured. Brain activity, oxygen levels, muscle tension, breathing, blood pressure - all show beneficial changes while a person is exposed to healing fractals. The human brain seems to be hard-wired to respond to the perfection of these designs, which many have called “sacred or divine geometry”.
Diana’s research into the scientific findings led her to conceive of a way to use these fractal patterns pro-actively as agents of healing, particularly for children affected by trauma, learning disorders, ADD and ADHD.
She created an interactive computer program that generates specific healing modalities with the use of fractals. Her work in that area continues and the search for a foundation to provide the program free to children’s hospitals is one of her many pursuits to contribute to children and adults in healing crisis.
Then it occurred to her that these stunning designs could be transferred to silk, and their healing energy could be worn, not restricting one to a computer monitor; the patterns would be shared by anyone coming in contact with the wearer, thus spreading the energy more abundantly.
With the help of friends who shared her vision, she raised the capital (through prepaid orders) necessary to create the first few healing scarves and shawls. Reaction was extremely positive. The combination of high quality silk’s inherent tactile appeal and the balance and relaxation created by the designs was an overnight success, posing an immediate challenge to find the means to make more. What followed was familiar to any successful entrepreneur: long nights and early mornings, creating and refining and experimenting and re-creating.
Abby Mobasher soon joined the team and within a short time, they found that customers were reporting positive results in their lives: doctors were recommending them to patients, Joe Vitale was talking about her products, Shirley MacLaine endorsed the Healing Silks, and orders were coming in, not yet a flood, but no longer at a trickle.
New inspired designs, more testimonials, more orders, and the company continues growing.
Healing Silks is still a small company, yet the vision that Diana and Abby have for the future is immense. Destined to become a small giant, being run by family members and friends, the company is based in integrity and love and a desire to spread the healing energy contained in the Healing Silks.
The latest creation of Healing Silks, the Healing in Pink line, focuses on Love, Hope and Belief for anyone in a healing crisis such as cancer or surgery, and especially those with breast cancer. The line consists of bookmarks, intention energizers, prayer shawls, and gratitude scarves.
