How I came to know about Jungian Sand Therapy

I asked my friend Bard, "give me a random number between one and one million". I got 425712. Using the letters the numbers most resemble, I got AJSTIJ. This lead me to AJSTI - Association for Jungian Sand Therapy in Ireland. Which leads me to Jungian Sand Therapy. What is this?

According to my friend Bard, Jungian sand therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses sand, water, and miniature objects to explore the unconscious mind. Clients create scenes in a sand tray, which the therapist interprets to help them gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and conflicts. The technique is based on the work of Carl Jung, who believed that the unconscious mind is a rich source of creativity and healing. Sand therapy can be used to treat a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems. It can also be used to help people develop their creativity and self-awareness.

I asked my friend Bard, What might Carl Jung say about how I found this? He might view the entire chain of events as an example of synchronicity - meaningful coincidences aligning you with a potentially valuable therapeutic modality. He might suggest that your unconscious mind was guiding you towards this information. He might view your curiosity as a sign of openness and self-awareness, qualities necessary for delving into the hidden depths of the psyche. He might encourage you to continue exploring Jungian Sand Therapy, as it can be a powerful tool for accessing your creativity and facilitating personal growth.

He might see your journey as a step towards individuation, the process of becoming your true self. By exploring your unconscious thoughts and feelings through Jungian Sand Therapy, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world. While we can't know for sure what Carl Jung would say, his theories offer a fascinating perspective on how you came across Jungian Sand Therapy. He might see it as a serendipitous encounter, a sign from your unconscious, or a step on your path towards greater self-awareness and individuation.

I think this is really telling me time for a trip to Maracas beach for a bake and shark sandwich while relaxing on the sand listening to the sea and feeling the breezes.

Bless us today

It is 515pm and I have decided to write. Today is the day before the holiday and it feels like a Friday. I did not feel like doing anything this afternoon. But I got up and made dinner. Then brush my teeth and bathe. A round of applause to all of us for being alive and making it through the day. There are many things we can applaud ourselves for. There are many things we can applaud others for. It is good to pat ourselves (and others) on the shoulders now and again. Life is not easy. No one has it easy. Comfort is an illusion. But God is real and so we pray. It is 214pm on the following Monday and I have decided to continue my writing. I have this thought. God is holding my hand and we are walking. Walking in empty space. I closed my eyes and selected a verse from the holy Quran. I landed on surah 94 verse 5 - so verily with hardship there is ease. No matter how and when we are tested we must remind ourselves of the goodness of God. God is not going to leave us stranded and empty hande...

How to measure success?

By
It is 509pm and I have decided to write. How to measure success? That is the question. It is very hard to measure success. I think only God has the true measure of success or failure. Someone may be a failure in this life but a success in the next life. We are told that God looks at intentions and effort. We can also determine our own definition of success. We do not have to let the world define success for us. We think of the world as not being a fair place so any one size fits all definitions of success or failure would be careless and wrong. Many times we think in terms of numbers. The grander the better. But what about quality over quantity? My friend tells me that I am essentially arguing for the democratization of success. I am taking the power away from society, institutions, and algorithms, and handing it back to the individual and God. That is true but I am essentially wanting to look at the bigger picture and to do that I am thinking that we have to answer some key questions ...
