Simple Mandala for Sand Tray Therapy Activity
The mandala sand tray for sand tray therapy class was my first experience with this type of sand tray therapy tray. The mandala according to dictionary.com represents different meanings; such as with the hindu and buddhist art it is designs symbolizing the universe, a way to unify self, or a configuration of geometric shapes. My mandala is circular with many lines that are somewhat interconnected; in the left and right corners are my chosen symbols for clarity (clear stone) and spirituality (cross). My universe as I see it must have clarity and a spiritual connection with God. My circle is ongoing, unstoppable, has very little room for disruption, and has the ability to redirect itself at any time as a way to protect and create new opportunities and outcomes. Once I finish graduate school I will create this tray again and see if anything has changed.
When I was making the circle I felt calm, rested, and at peace. I felt relieved after I created it. This tray will be used as a reminder that I control my mandala and I only need the simple things in life such as spirituality and clarity.
