"psyche
has a self-directed tendency to heal itself and to
grow toward completeness, and because Sandplay helps
the client to go beyond the borders of his conscious
mind, psychic development is stimulated subconsciously
by the action of working and/or constructing in the
sand."
~ Carl Jung ~
Feeling stuck? Sandplay therapy is gentle, non intrusive
and quite often called the "silent" therapy.
It offers a way of connecting on a deeper level with
the unconscious mind, in a very simplistic way.
It can be used for many thngs including clarification
on maybe and issue you feel aware of or perhaps decision
making or making a life change.
Sand
play can be used for long or short term therapy.
As
a client you would be invited to connect with the
sand by touch and to make patterns in the sand and
then place objects or figures in the tray that may
represent everyday life for you. The objects can be
of people, animals, buildings, plants, shells - the
list goes on.
The
scene that clients create in the sand tray often represents
their life - as a picture can say a thousand words,
a figure or scene can express feelings, emotions and
conflicts that previously they may as yet have been
unaware of, or perhaps were unable to express.
