Reiki Self-Healing and the Flu

One thing illness draws my attention to is the intertwined nature of our physical, emotional and mental bodies. A heavy dose of the flu, where there is difficulty breathing and incessant coughing, brings me feelings of frustration and panic on top of the normal draining of vitality. Our feelings attract thoughts that vibrate at aContinue reading “Reiki Self-Healing and the Flu”

The Daily Draw: Three of Cups, Reversed

The three of cups is a card that shows a joyful, emotional connection between a group of people. This could be friends, colleagues, even clients. The important part is the emotional bond that has these people intertwined in each other’s lives in a deep, meaningful positive way. The thing about reversed cards is that theContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Three of Cups, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Four of Pentacles

In the Four of Pentacles of the RWS deck, we see a person who appears holding on to four large coins for dear life, apparently afraid it will be spent or stolen. But look at where the coins are located – one under each foot, one covering the crown chakra and one covering the heartContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Four of Pentacles”

The Daily Draw: Four of Swords, Reversed

We have a heavy winter cold going through the house all down the line, from oldest to youngest. So Reiki and Calpol for the kids, and Reiki and a few sleepless nights for mammy and daddy – inevitably one or more of the children are woken by their symptoms in the hours when they wouldContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Four of Swords, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: The Hermit

We live in an age where there is a steady barrage of information or, in many cases misinformation. Divergent multitudes with access to any kind of media platform seem to constantly be attempting to advise, educate, opine, warn, intimidate, cajole or terrorize us into accepting what they are presenting as the absolute truth. We becomeContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Hermit”

The Daily Draw: Six of Cups

I’m surprised to find that Black Friday found its way to Ireland, especially considering the day prior to that is usually called Thursday and not Thanksgiving. Here, it is a marketing ploy that may or not bring in a few more shoppers. In the states, it seems to be a cataclysmic event on a scaleContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Six of Cups”

The Daily Draw: Three of Pentacles

              I’m thinking we should have an enlarged print of this card framed and put in the lobby of the company where I work. There are a few hundred of us working on this one site, 800 or so around the world. Yet the company doesn’t have that big,Continue reading “The Daily Draw: Three of Pentacles”

The Daily Draw: Strength

It’s interesting to note that Strength follows The Chariot in the RWS (and many other) decks. They both have an aspect of influencing an outcome, but they go about it in completely different ways. The Chariot’s energy aligns with the solar plexus chakra while Strength’s aligns with the heart The chariot driver is willing toContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Strength”

The Daily Draw: Ten of Pentacles, Reversed

I’m in Dita authoring training all day so I’ll have to see if I can keep this brief. I’m as curious as you are. In Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe uses the very descriptive phrase “haemorrhaging money” to describe the constant “necessary” expenditures of the Wall Street player at the center of the novel.Continue reading “The Daily Draw: Ten of Pentacles, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Eight of Swords

There is a theme to the higher-numbered sword cards that can be summed up as “you are your own worst enemy”. In the Ten, someone is experiencing pain, but not so much that they can’t over-dramatize it and make a bid for martyr of the year. In the Nine, a person is having a sleeplessContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Eight of Swords”
