This study is about the symbolism of Millstone appeared in psychotherapy like sand play therapy with
symbol work. Symbols not only deliver meanings but also have numinous power, which produces
transformation through powerful energy from emotional experience. Symbols help human’s mentality develop
by compromising opposites which cause conflict. This study is to examine the characteristic of Millstone in
human history and the symbolic meaning which appears in mythology and tales and alchemy, and to explain
universal and cultural meaning of millstone connected to psychological symbolism. Millstone represents pain
through sacrifice of grain, death and the creation of new consciousness as a symbol of the rebirth. Also, it
explains the circulation of original nature as a symbol of destiny to overcome by the integration of anima
and animus. The millstone described as the symbol of Self in the marriage of mythology represents the
coniunctio oppositorum between men and women, a combination of yin and yang. It is the symbol of
wholeness integrating conscious and unconscious. Through this study, we consider that millstone is the
psychic center of the ego- Self axis and the individuation in the psychotherapy is the process of unceasing
transformation of one’s whole personality which experiences the process of balancing, regulating and unifying.
Consequently, millstone functions as symbolic intermediation that leads to the center of one’s whole psyche.
