Annotation to an Excerpt in my book: Mind, Body, Spirit and Discovering the Purpose of Life

 “––Modern health and wellness have re-emerged the trend of the mind-body-spirit ancient healing modalities as a practice used in conjunction with traditional medicine today.  It was not too long ago it would have been viewed as “witch” medicine. As if it were not ordinary to practice holistic approaches to health and wellness. Another tool that is becoming more popular today is lesson cards, oracles cards, healing energy cards, angel cards, crystal cards, moon cards, tarot cards; whatever the author wants to call them. They are cards of pictures with symbolic meanings, words of wisdom, items of nature, questions for contemplation, some relating to astrology, etc…––They can be very useful and are to be taken light heartedly.”

 Author’s comment–––whatever tool you use in accordance with your own intuition and logic––it should never be used as a ritual unless you are in prayer with God, Jesus Christ. This includes people, celebrities, royalty, politicians, sports figures, even the Pope.  It is a grave sin to idolize anything other than God.  

 On a positive note––pictures do help express meaning to feels and troubles that may be going on in another’s life that are not so easy to articulate. Visual pictures are used in education and are known as assistive technology tools that foster communication which has had proven benefits. However–– just be aware when engaged in a spiritual realm–– you cannot “see” the spirits or energy of that world so it can be dangerous. 

 “Some religious practices are against cards–– as they are seen as a form of witchcraft or can open a doorway to negative energies if not used correctly.”

 “ –– The most important point here is to note: “––– I think it is important that whatever mechanism or tool you use to help align the chakras of your body, to improve your spiritual growth, you must be aware of negative entities. There is good and bad in the world, and we must be mindful of that.  We also must recognize that doing anything in life without God can lead you down a pathway of darkness. With that being said––when using lesson cards, spirit cards, or tarot cards stay focused on an intention for healing. Pray over the cards before using them so you do not get misled on what the Universe and God is trying to assist you with.” 

 ––“Our intuition is our most insightful tool that you can use. Knowing that, and believing that, will guide you most in life.  As in writing or reading spiritual literature, poems, or spiritual quotes they all foster a resonating connection to life. Lesson cards are the same. They may focus you on one word like “Faith” for example, and if that comes up–– you may think right away “I have no faith”, instead think of it is a positive light––such as “Faith will get you through”––Any word can be misconstrued to mislead you into a direction of darkness, and that is precisely why the church is against it.”
