Have you come across one of those deck of cards that are beautifully illustrated with pictures of angels, animals, flowers or even mermaids? No, I’m not referring to trading cards or poker cards, but what I call power healing cards.
What are power healing cards? These are flash cards that are created with specific intentions in mind. Every card usually comes with a picture on one side and a verse on the other. The visual and the verse provide a focus point for you to use in meditation and visualization. By holding the content of a card in your awareness, you can access intuitive information deep within you and gain better clarity on important life issues.
Uses of Power Healing Cards
There are many different types of power healing cards around to meet any need you may have. They are also versatile enough for a wide range of real-life applications. Here are some of their common uses:
- Manifest goals and attract abundance.
- Cultivate positive qualities, such as compassion, loving kindness and resilience.
- Break negative or limiting thought patterns, and replace them with positive ones.
- Enhance skills and knowledge on specific subject matter, like yoga, reflexology and even sex!
- Inspire and generate creative, fresh ideas.
- Gain deeper understanding and insights on difficult life situations.
- Improve self-esteem and gain greater confidence.
- Speed up recovery from physical illness and improve outlook on disease and death.
- Access your Higher Self and get in touch with your true nature.
How Power Healing Cards Work
Although it may sound incredulous to be able to achieve so many things with just a stack of cards, it isn’t hard to see why power healing cards work if you understand the body-mind connection.
Your body and mind are not two separate entities that work independently of each other. When the mind is stressed, the body feels the stress too and will react accordingly by raising your blood pressure and quicken your heart beat. Likewise, when your body is wounded, the mind also feels the pain and will respond quickly to save you from further harm.
In power healing cards, the essences of powerful verses or quotes are captured using images and symbols of archetypes that speak directly to your unconscious mind. By bypassing the conscious and often cluttered mind, they can help you to access hidden qualities within yourself as you meditate or simply rest your attention on the cards. These qualities in turn manifest in your reality as improved outlook on life, better ways of handling people and issues, and consequently help you to achieve your dreams quicker and with less blunders.
Furthermore, by depicting verses or quotes as both images and text, you are also activating both sides of the brain simultaneously when you hold a card’s content in your mind, further accessing the dormant synergistic brain power that is inherent in you.
While the effect may not be as instantaneous as what you see in movies, the seeds that you plant in your mind will surely take roots and blossom if you use the cards regularly and consistently in your daily life.
How to Make Full Use of Power Healing Cards
There are a number of ways you can incorporate power healing cards into your everyday life. I encourage you to try all the methods below whenever possible and see for yourself the amazing results you will get.
1. Meditation with Power Healing Cards
-
Before meditating, pull one card from your favorite deck. Read the verse and observe the image on the card without further evaluation or thinking. Simply keep the content of the card in your mind and rest your consciousness on it during your meditation. Observe and note any thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories or ideas that arise from the mental image of this card. You will gain fresh insights into a particular issue, person or even yourself with this simple exercise.
2. Ask and You Shall Receive
-
Pose a question that you wish to unravel to the Universe, your favorite religious figure or any archetype that you can strongly relate to. Then randomly pick a card from the deck of your choice and read the message from the selected card aloud. Pause and listen quietly for the answer as it reverberates in your ears effortlessly.
3. Incubate Desired Traits
-
Select a card bearing the quality that you wish to have more of. Carry the card with you as you go about your usual activities. Whip out the card out often within the day to reflect on and infuse yourself with the energy of the chosen quality. Some excellent opportune moments for reflection are times when you are taking a break, having a coffee, after a lunch, during your journey home and before sleeping. As you put your attention on the quality throughout the day, it will incubate within you and spontaneously cause changes in your behavior when you are least expected.
4. Boost Your Energy Level
-
It is perfectly normal for our energy level to fluctuate throughout the day. But there are certain times when you need that extra boost in energy, alertness or confidence to face an upcoming challenge. Rather than reaching for a cup of coffee or a can of red bull, try using power healing cards instead. Choose a card infuse with the quality you need, then close your eyes and do a brief meditation on the card for five to ten minutes. Hold the card’s images and words in your mind and let them energize you. Open your eyes when you are ready and bring the freshly acquired quality to your intended activities.
5. Help Someone in Need
-
One of the best ways to use power healing cards is to pass on their healing power. Do you know anyone who is feeling down and in need of some comforting words? Or a person who is lost in a sea of sudden changes and could do with some guidance? You don’t have to give a whole stack of cards. Just one or two selected cards that address the other person’s needs is enough to brighten up his or her day.
6. Brainstorm for Ideas
-
If you are stuck on a problem at work, pick a card arbitrarily and see how the chosen card sheds a different light on the situation. You can also apply this on a group setting. Ask each member of your team to pick a card and ask them to jot down any ideas that are triggered by the card they are holding. You’ll be surprised with the creative results you get from just a stack of cards.
