Sand is the most amazing natural material, endowed with a kind of magnetism. A variety of actions with it activate the manifestation of a wide range of human feelings and experiences that are difficult to logically comprehend and rationally explain.<\/p>\n
Watching how the smallest particles of the Earth, tiny crystals of quartz rock, bewitchingly flow through the fingers from one palm to another, a person involuntarily plunges into memories, returns to the past or begins to fantasize about the future, one way or another we begin to feel the passage of time, imagining ourselves part of the universe<\/p>\n
Peering into the sea distance, it is sometimes hard for us to take our eyes off the fabulous, fantastic, amazing picture that nature itself paints – where the sea wave, boiling from tension, rising high and foaming strongly, hits the sandy shore, which instantly absorbs and passes it through itself, remaining virtually unchanged.<\/p>\n
Watching how a strong, irresistible wind moving heavy sand dunes of the desert, storming sand dunes creates incredibly attractive landscape patterns, you arbitrarily begin to feel the real power of the elements, get real pleasure from what you see, from what you think about, what you are surprised at, what enjoy. Probably, it is precisely through this specificity and uniqueness that sand has found application as a kind of tool among modern methods of psychotherapy.<\/p>\n
The technique of working with sand makes it possible to touch your deepest \u201cI\u201d, restore mental integrity, build a unique image, unfold the amazing landscape of the picture of your own world, your soul and get answers to your questions, open the way to the realm of secret thoughts and feelings. The pictures that emerge on the sand are a reflection of the inner world of a person, an illustration of the content of her unconscious states and desires. Such pictures in the sand help a person to understand himself, to understand the problems of his own life, to survive the past and gain new experience. Without preliminary preparation, without planning, designing or modeling, a person creating paintings in the sand goes from problems to solving them, to spiritual healing and full recovery, enjoying the sensations of the fullness of life. <\/p>\n
Sand psychotherapy has no restrictions regarding its use, there are no right or wrong decisions in what happens with its use. Everything that appears on the sand is accepted, everything is filled with symbolic content and becomes the subject of work in a therapeutic session. This, in fact, magical method helps both children and adults not to feel like a prisoner of life circumstances, but to be a real creator of their own destiny. Unconscious problems, incomprehensible experiences, anxieties and fears are brought out of the inner world to the outside, becoming understandable and, accordingly, possible for their resolution. Using a creative, extraordinary, non-stereotypical campaign, a person begins to feel his own real uniqueness, perfection and strength. All this is supported by emotional experiences on the path of positive transformations, especially when the result obtained exceeds expectations. <\/p>\n
Sand psychotherapy is an effective method in the work of a psychologist with a number of psychological problems, namely: <\/p>\n
– fears, obsessive experiences, increased anxiety, panic attacks;<\/p>\n
– problems associated with previous diseases;<\/p>\n
– psychosomatic diseases;<\/p>\n
\u2013 loneliness, problems of social contacts, shyness; <\/p>\n
– self-doubt, low self-esteem;<\/p>\n
– mutual understanding with close people (treason in marital relations);<\/p>\n
– self-knowledge; etc. <\/p>\n
In an unobtrusive form, playing with sand allows you to correct children’s aggressiveness, conflict, problems of the psychological nature of adolescents, teach the child social contacts, develop creative potential in a symbolic form, and form a cognitive interest in the world around. The uniqueness of psychotherapy with sand also lies in the fact that it helps to understand oneself, to find and realize the sense and value of one’s own life, to improve its quality, to find ways to relieve stressful circumstances and ways out of stressful situations, to find a powerful resource for renewing vital energy, to find new ways development, and most importantly, build your own perfect, unique world\u2026..<\/p>\n
