Sandbox Therapy…
Good morning y'all! I did sandbox therapy at the meet and greet at Metamorphosis Healing Arts Center about a month or so ago. One of the best things I did. I had some very close friends in the room with me and I felt safe with a room full of people and I am so grateful they were there! I never did this before and I didn't know what was going to happen, but boy did it happen! LOL!
I started grabbing things and created what you see here...who can give a guess as to what this was about for me?
It is amazing how our subconscious works y'all. I had no idea how much pain/trauma I was holding onto until I did this.
When the facilitator took the fences away boy did I cry....it was like ripping myself apart when she did that. It was like my safety net.
I recommend this to anyone who is in their healing dance.
The humans running this piece of heaven are loving and compassionate and simply where they are supposed to be! I will be doing this again in the future...
I will post more about the meaning of my sand box....I want to see what others take from this first. If you see this give me your thoughts...
Eileen
****UPDATED BELOW****this is what it represented!
So to the right is the house that I should have grown up in. Safe and happy. Not perfect but filled with love and everything a child would need/want to grow up in.
The upper left is my dragon who is me and that dragon is fabulous and beautiful and helped me survive. Nothing is wrong with the dragon. But she learned to be fierce and strong and unshakable with a lot of armor on!
The bottom left corner is who I really am. Wise and divine full of beauty and love.
The fish sign in the middle on the left symbolizes hope
The bird in the nest is ME. Being nurtured and taken care of right now as I grow and expand my consciousness and heal those things that have been hindering me!
The bridge represents the steps I feel are needed to step over to the other side.
The fences are where I keep all my compartments. Everything is compartmentalized. This goes here and this goes there and never the all should meet, because that makes me safe.
When she took the fences away that is when I lost it...it showed me how I was doing this and trying to control it all and keep it all separate....
Taking the fences away means INTEGRATING. Bringing myself into one whole entire human being and using all of those things into authentic Eileen. Who I really am!
Blew my mind....
That is what I interpreted from it when she asked. She confirmed it pretty much spot on what she saw as well...
Will go back again!
