Sandplay

Sandplay therapy involves using sand, water, and miniatures to explore the inner world. The therapy encourages uninhibited expression, with a blue-bottomed tray allowing for digging or building. Miniatures represent various aspects of the internal and external world. Participants move at their own pace, creating a panorama in the sand that captures a significant moment from the unconscious.

Healing in Sandplay comes from the process of creating the sand picture. The therapist and individual hold the creative energy without immediate interpretation, allowing the experience to deepen over time. This process can lead to spontaneous healing at an unconscious level.

Key points:

• Sandplay is non-verbal and symbolic.

• Individual sessions create awareness of meaningful symbols.

• Sandplay impacts the quality and depth of dreams, influencing our sense of self.
