“Sand therapy in counselling”
Sand therapy seminar always takes place during summer, on a ride somewhere out of town. With some rest out in nature, relaxing in a bath-house, as well as cooking of eel soup on bonfire. This is a seminary in which the soul gets melded. “Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted.” We live in a world that is orientated on fast decision making: “because the faster, the better”. But it’s impossible to understand the depth of our soul and feelings so fast. In this “race”, people lose so much if they don’t look into themselves and the depths of their souls.
It should be noted, that in Jungian sand therapy there’s one principle: “We do not cure it, it cures us”. In other words, client cures himself, and we, therapists, give them the opportunity and create the right conditions. During this consultancy everyone individually gets to play both roles of client and therapist. The action takes place in a real sandbox, in which client works with miniature figurines.
ANNOTATION OF THE counselling PROGRAM. If you have ever been to a psychologist, you will recognize that awkward situation when suddenly you have to speak of your problems, thoughts, feelings and what’s on your mind, but you can’t just shortly explain it.Probably that’s why playing with sand has been so popular for more than a century already. Same as traditional consultancies,in this therapy big problems that have been gathering are solved and a path to harmony with yourself and others is found. Only here the main „speaker” is the sand and small figurines in it.
