Uncovering

How do I feel when I touched the sand? Honestly, I closed my eyes and I tried hard to feel the texture of sand, in hoping to achieve some special feeling but I had failed. I have problem concentrating in meditation.


I thought sandplay therapy is not effective for people like me. Last week, Agape Counseling Centre has begun its First Module of Self Growth Training - Basic Counseling Element and Exploring Family Background.


We got the hand-on experience by using sandplay therapy technique. Miniature is the essence of sandplay, participants can freely choose miniature, and display them in your sandtray.


This time, we have to put all our family members (represent them with miniature) inside our sandtray. I am getting emotional. Firstly, the background of music is very sentimental. Secondly, I saw someone started sobbing.


Sharing is a form of expression. I felt comfortable with my partner, thus my tears dropping. If there is a change, I would love to change. Open communication is very important.


In my opinion, Sandplay therapy allowing people to discover the problem, issue or truth hidden within their heart. A person's feeling, behavior or cognition are actually representing our inner needs. To feel connected with someone, firstly we have to touch the person's heart.


To feel safe, or you are non-expressive, I guess expressive therapy such as sandplay or play therapy will definitely helpful.


I guess I am just too emotional creature..

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
