“Life Dolphin”🐬 I found this reflection on her sand-play creation by a nine year old, particularly fascinating and thought it is worth sharing.
“The dolphin gives birth to all creatures in the world. We need to protect it otherwise the world will no longer exist”. According to “the Book of Symbols- Reflection on Archetypal Images”, dolphins have a long history of kindness towards humans as well as protecting humans. Also, there is something suggestive in the similarity between the Greek word for dolphin (delphis) and the Greek word for the womb or uterus (delphys). An example of the presence of the collective unconscious in the Sandplay Therapy room? for 🧒🏻

Comparison, self doubt, pleasing others, resentment, worrying about the future... and the list goes on... what can you let go of to become happier?

“Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life”. By Wu-Men.
This poem by Wu–Men (a classic Zen poet who lived from 1183-1260 in China)
is a wonderful metaphor on how our mind can find some peace when we let go of the constant inner chatter. Throughout the last couple of years and especially through 2020 and the pandemic, I have found myself blending Mindfulness and Art Therapy more and more in my practice. Each counselling session starts with grounding, breathing exercises, followed by drawing images and presentations of thoughts and images that we see in our minds. I continue to support my clients to train the brain to focus on clarity, renewal, calm, resilience and joy, so they can live the more centred and compassionate life most of us want.

Mindfulness helps you to pay attention to the thoughts that are useful to you for living in accordance with your values and letting go of the focus on thoughts that are unhelpful.

Would you like to become more mindful?

Here are 3 things to consider about your thoughts:

1) Become aware of your thoughts; notice if they are healthy thoughts or if they are unhealthy. This process helps us to detach from the thought and also to see it as what it is, just a thought.

2) Be mindful of your thoughts. Being able to notice when we are lost in thoughts, and knowing how to come back to a focusing point which is your or anchor, is very important.

3) Observe and investigate your beliefs. You don’t have to believe your thoughts, they are just thoughts! But it’s important to enquire about the thought. Ask yourself: what is my core belief around this thought?
Practice these three steps and you’re on the way to a more mindful YOU!
And if you need help, I am here for you. -therapy -matter . compassion journey
