Mikyung, Jang. Implications of the Sacred Rope in Analytical Psychology and Sandplay Therapy Volume 18, Number 2, 2009 Keywords: analytical psychology, sacred rope, rope symbolism, sacred barrier, protective boundary, entrance. Abstract: The author reflects on the many ways a sacred rope is used in
ritual activities and communal and domestic occasions. The sacred rope is used
as a barrier between the sacred and the profane. Dr. Jang reports that the
sacred rope motif frequently appears in sandtrays. She concludes that it often
appears when the creator of the sandtray is willing to surrender to the process
and engage at a deeper level. The work of a young woman struggling with
depression, anxiety, and peer problems is presented to illustrate how her
symbolic use of the rope facilitated the emergence of material held outside of
consciousness. Initially the patient had little awareness of her responsibility
for her difficulties. |
