Sandplay is a theraputic process using a sand box where a variety of small objects are placed. A three dimensional picture is then created.
Various states within the psyche are exposed in a creative way. The main tool is the imagination. A "concrete picture from the unconscious mind"* emerges right in front of the player as more objects are laid down in the sand.
The Therapist acts as a guide, allowing energies to be redirected. Fresh connections can be made for the individual at a conscious level. Solutions, clarity of mind and healing occur by inviting the imagination to play.
