Ikebana Sand Tray Therapy Tray
For this sand tray in sand tray therapy, I partially completed it in the sand and partially outside of the sand. I used the worksheet as well as my sand tray to complete this activity.
For the petals of my flower, I included my son at the top as one of the people who brings me balance. I also included the gym, because it helps restore my energy and brings me a sense of peace. Water was another resource that I put as a source of harmony and balance because of its purity and great health benefits.
I also put my grandmother on the sheet because she is a huge source of support and encouragement for me, as well as my faith in God. Church was another place I put on my sheet as a place that helps to restore balance and peace to my life. It gives me a constant reminder that my faith in God is not in vain.
Family was another petal on my flower. Family to me means loving individuals in spite of their faults and shortcomings. Being with and around family is another that also helps to fill my life with a sense of harmony. The different objects that I placed around the tray are all artifacts that serve as pieces of serenity, unity, and restoration of balance.
