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..
