THERAPEUTIC USE OF STORY TELLING MODULE really a big challenge for me! I like story, i like to write about my own story, experience, and i used to kept my personal diary since secondary school, and i still practice it. Now i got a lot of diary book, all recording my past, the history of yesterday!

In this challenge, i choose to be here, stay in where i work now, where i be now. previously, i do not think of being in this job position, but there is always a reason behind, WHY people choose to be in this, make sense isn't it? people always have their own reason for what they are doing.

in the 6 part story, the shadow, i picked the mountain, 2nd card.
actually i am quite blur, that time, as i am rushing back from other place.

i do not know what to say " and i say
"The lake dragon was surrounding by the most harmony mountain, and this mountain was used to be as the GOD of TATA, the god of mountain protect the harmony land which the ladies stayed, and it also kept an eye on the black dragon."

Alex feedback, NO, it is about the task! the first card is the main character, then, the 2nd card should be the task, the duty, what the main character need to do?
o... i really do not know what to say, my mind is blank.... and Alex keep asked what is the main character doing? with the card??

so, i need to quickly crack my head and think of a sentence..
"The girl was the guardian of the black dragon. the ladies need to sing in the lake everyday as the villagers believed if she did not do so, it would bring disaster to the village. Only her sweet voice need to sung every evening to comfort the dragon."

the mountain actually had been appear in my personal sandplay
this time, the mountain come again! would be a co-inciddent?
or it is just my personal collective unconscious?
What is the "mountain" for me? How is the "mountain" related to my shadow? Who is be with the mountain? Where is the "mountain" of mine, and How the "mountain: significant to myself? what is inside the mountain? where is the mountain? is there anything interesting?

notes J.C. Cooper,Mountains "are associated with sun, rain and thunder gods and, in early traditions of the feminine godhead, the mountain was the earth and female, with the sky, clouds, thunder and lightning as the fecundating male."

wider imagery of the story, the setting that contains the potential "energy seeds" - dragon - is in the water - lake not in the mountains. If the protagonist is a female (feminine) in the first card, she is looking towards the valley - water/lake (feminine) and not upwards towards the mountain.So the task that is being communicated by the unconscious if it is spiritual, the answer may lies in the water"

i am wondering too... what is this about my mountain, the lake (water) and the dragon..... lies in the water
trying to search to look deep inside... to read it, to understand, to analyze, to intepret ... ...

from the Psychological Meaning:
Mountains represent the lofty, planes of consciousness. It is the realm of the ‘higher self’, the part of you that has higher, transcendent knowledge. If i am dreaming of being at the top of a mountain may show how you now feel that you have risen above the common routines of life and achieved something with spiritual meaning. Conversely, it may show your desire to do this. Mountains can also indicate that you are in touch with or thinking about the higher dimensions of reality. In particular you may be thinking in a positive way about death and the afterlife. On a more mundane level, climbing a mountain may symbolise your sense of achievement and the arduous effort needed for a long-term undertaking. You are on the slippery slopes to success and have the self-determination to reach the summit.

hmm.. does it make sense to me? this is really co-incident again? when we are doing the group reflection, Pris keep us hurry, faster, doing the reflection, as the group need to do the intepretation of the story we create.

i say" I think if looking down from the top of the mountain must be very nice scene. perfect... but, thinking of climbing up the hill, actually make me fear"

what is the fear? as pris asked me to look at the fear, what's the fear is like, actually i am scared of myself!
surprisingly, i have the fear that i afraid i am not able to cope the challenge, the cppd challenge, i can hear my inner self shivering , how do i going to climb up to the top of the mountain? the achievement, the acknowledgment to myself, the place of the dream.... which seeker, thirst for it.... ....i think, i do not want to stay at the bottom of the mountain, i want to reach at the top of the mountain... it's seem i am not satify with what i have now only, the learning is so much... so many things to learn.... maybe there is another mountain again?? but this is the journey.... no rushing...at least i try to go up, and have the different view... walk down to mountain actually is another fear too... slow slow lah... when i am able to walk, i will walk.... walk untill the day can't walk lor...

maybe, i am thinking of upgrading my skill, my knowledge, my profession, to another level,
and i am like a seeker... searching for calmness, meaning, achievement, the soul....... looking for another one of ME!

it make sense???

i am wondering too...
my mountain, the lake (water) and the dragon..... lies in the water

my version: The White Lady and the black dragon

once upon a time, in the village of Satta lived a girl name Tanya. She was as pretty as snow, sweet as the honey, and generous for old people and yongsters. Near the village of Sata, there is a lake, and people from this village rely on the lake for daily routine. According to old wise, there is a Black Dragon stayed deep in this lake. All the villagers named the lake as Lake Dragon as the legend. Villagers believed the old wise, which is there must be a long golden hair lady with white skirt to sing to the dragon.

The Lake Dragon was surroundded by the most harmonius mountain, and this mountain was believed the protector of this peaceland, The GOD of TATA. Tanya, who is the only with long golden hair and sweetest voice was choose, to sing to the black dragon, every evening before the sun rise down. She will stand near to the lake, with her white skirt, and sing ! Her sing is believe will able to saved the villages from disaster. And, Tanya was taking the responsibility to sing to the black dragon, as guardian too. Villagers believed, if Tanya do not sing, then, according to oldwise, there will be disaster happend to the village!

At the forbidden mountain, on the other side of Hrmonius Mountain, there is a Black Witch who named is Marshila, she is the oppones of the God of TATA, and she always would like to create chaos for the villages. Marshila always envy of the Tanya preety, sweet voice, and generous, she she want Tanya to fail to accomplish the duty and purposely make a thuderstom to stop her to reach to her destination. She wanted Tanya to be blamed by the villagers. She used her magic power to create thunder and black cloud to let Tanya unable to find her way to Lake Dragon.

Tanya know, she must reach the Lake Dragon to sing! She is anxious, scared, and lost in the midst! But she remember, there is a waterfall near the Lake Dragon. The water of waterfall is moving from upstream to downstream, the crystal sound of the water fall direct her to the dragon of lake. She calm herself and listen with full concentration, to the crystal sounds of waterfall, when she listen to the voice , she try to follow the crystal sound of the water fall lead her to thelake Dragon.

Tanya at the same time pray to the GOD of TATA, and asked for help. She remember to sing and suddenly, she saw a white strong Unicorn appear, shinning in the way that lead her way to the Lake Dragon! Tanya can hear the balck Dragon soul that roalling, she start to sing loudly and loudly and when she reach the Lake Dragon , the thunder stop, and the black mist dissapear.

Tanya felt happy and feel that she is able to do the duty, and not let down people in Sata Village. Her sing had bring peace to the Village they stayed, and over the Harmonious Mountain, the voice of Tanya was encho in and her sing with love spread the message of peace, courage and love to all being in the peaceland! Eventually, Tanya knew there will be obstacles with the duty she do, she will bring her heart, and do it with more detail. She know she has the responsibility to take care of the land she born.

The moral of the story

In the Journey of life, will full of obstacles, there might be difficulties, as bringing the belief and heading to the right path, will able to find way out and reach the destination. Believe in your own inner strenght and be confident to make the moved!

ALS online discussion 19.8.09

this is really fun and i do not know how to descrip the feeling when THE ALS members record my voice and replay it online, at skpe

suddenly, i have the feeling for this golden long hair white lady, actually she is trying to project the role as caregivers who serve mercy heart, and trying to help the black dragon

the black dragon is like the unfortunate group, who's destructive behaviour was unwated force. the blackdragon is like our shadow, as in Jung theory of psychodynamic point of view, we project what we want the world to see us, PESONA
the PESONA is our behaviour, our way of interacting to the world, the human, and the PESONA is the preferred behavior that we want people to perceive on OUR SELF

looking at myself and my group created story, i can see that our group have the heart of the helper, a heart to serve the community, to work with the group of people that at the border of the society. me, personally was working under department of social welfare, priscilla and Cheng is working for children with learning difficulties and as well as trauma group, Melinda, phaik nee and seok binn is from working and homemaker, they have the heart concern on the children, the passionate feelings to work with the groups.

the caregivers is always play a role to help, to give, to serve and without any hesitating, they willing to take care of others welfare instead of themselves. they have the compassionate feelings offer to HELP

ya... nomatter how hard the situation, the golden long hair white lady will overcome the obstacles in the journey if life. no doubtful, sometimes we will get lost in the journey, we will face the question from outside, from the society, the client, or even ourself, ARE we DOING THE RIGHT THING?

hmm... i think the believe, the faith is important. very very important. i believe for each of us who are continue is this helping profession have strong beliefe on life, and on human. if not, they will run away from here long long time already, if not, there will not be so many people joining in this helping profession, be volunter, para counsellor, social work officer and etc...

when we are facing with the obstacles, please must not forget the vision, the original voices in ourself...
when we able to hold the value, we will never walk from deviant... we will be able on the right way to get to the destination

the working partner is very important too...
when we lost, we have the helper, our life partner, friends, colleague and also teacher walking besides with us... no matter how fear we are, we will never go to the ends... fight untill the last breath....

because, we are not alone....
we have support, we have beliefe, and with this faith, the journey can be continue...
it's really match with the moral of the sory

LIFE JOURNEY OF TRUST, GETTING IN TOUCH WITH INNER STRENGTHS AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART TO MAKE IT REAL.

6th Card: The world, Dove and The Golden Girl

Doves, usually white in color, are used in a variety of settings as symbols of love, peace or as messengers. Doves appear in the symbology of Judaism and Christianity and of both military and pacifist groups.

The Doves was behind the right of the golden hair lady with rend colourful eyes shirt, and with a small world planet of earth infront. the background of the picture is in Blue colour. In the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness, e.g. "He was feeling blue".

The sadness of the golden hair lady left behind with the peace and the world around byherself again!

5th Card: Unicorn

the unicorn is a mythical creature. This fabled creature is considered symbolic of virginity and usually represented as a horse with a single straight spiraled horn projecting from its forehead.

Earliest references, of the unicorn portray it as fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. The unicorn could only be captured by deception; the single horn is believed to be able to neutralize poison (Wikipedia). This may be a reflection of our unconscious self, sometimes only sensed emerging indirectly into our consciousness



The Unicorn in this picture, is just look so handsome, attracive, lovely and strong. Unicorn is heading to my left hand side, forehead to front like waiting to fly.
Where is the unicorn exist? is it exist in the deep forest? is Unicorn able to fly? i always see in movie unicorn can fly.... where is the wing? maybe the wing is invissible. we can't see via normal eyesight!
