This tiny winy deck conquered my heart on the spot, from the first use, as I had an instant visual, tactile and energetic connection with it. The deck is structured in 8 suits, seven devoted to each chakra plus a chakra-balance with healing crystals.
The cards quality is terrific: Glossy flexible but sturdy cardboard, clean design on the front, and very modern colourful abstract back imagery. The deck comes in a good quality cardboard box, with upper non-detachable lid. The front has the symbol and colour of the chakra (1-Crown chakra, purple.
2- Third eye chakra, dark blue. 3-Throat chakra, light blue. 4- Heart
chakra, green. 5-Solar plexus chakra, yellow. 6- Sacral chakra, orange.
7-Root chakra, red) and the extra suit with a flower in fucsia. There is not artist
associated with the artwork in this deck. It was designed by using
stock images from Adobe Stock and Creative Market. It shows that you can
create a deck that ticks all the boxes without having to hire a
super-duper digital artist.
There is no guidebook or booklet. The instructions are provided on the inner lid and on the cards themselves. This might not be your deck if you have no knowledge of what chakras are, but even if you have a general knowledge of it, this deck will work for you. If you aren't into crystals, no worries, the advice on each card is still wise and valid on its own.
The deck is tiny, even for a person with small hands like me. You can see one of my photos with the deck by my keys. The good thing is that you can carry this in your pocket or in a small purse. The bad thing is that it, if you have big hands, it might be difficult to handle or shuffle for you.
I find this deck perfect to use for self healing and self-improvement, together with the Mystical Healing Reading Cards and the Four Agreements Deck and the Yunoun Chakra stones. However, I find it useful to carry around to get advice during day, when feeling stressed, provoked or unbalanced because of our daily worries and struggles.
Good value for money.
Mystical Healing Card is a deluxe deck with an unique self-improvement and healing deck to help you face those inner obstacles that keep you stuck and prevent you from achieving your goals, experiencing a happier life and growing to your full potential.
GOOD THINGS
> Amazing artwork. I could spend hours wandering around the colors, the details and symbolism of the cards. They have an almost sacred feeling to them, but they are also very oneiric. Jake Baddeley's images have an
ancient patina, colors and symbolism that seems to take you into an old Medieval church where many candles had been on and created that golden darkish coating. The imagery reminds me of the Byzantine Medieval mosaics, the Renaissance painters, Venice Carnival and modern surrealism. For whatever reason, Da Vinci's notebook is what comes to mind when looking at the cards back.
> Very well-thought healing deck. I think this deck would be a great tool in psychotherapy.
> For whatever reason, I see this deck connected to another healing or self-improvement deck as it is The Four Agreements Deck. > I really connect with this deck at a deep level as it eplies to my queries with precision and give real good advice. Two examples. I asked what can I do to heal my romantic relationships and the card
that popped up was "Unlock your Heart". I asked what should I be focusing right now and the card that popped up was "Focus on Higher Truths". How on point are those answers?!
> Esoteric in conception, therefore, something unique.
NOT SO GOOD
> Mismatch between the images and the meaning attributed to them. That affects most cards. There is
an obvious connection for the artist, and that's fine, but it is not for most readers. To me, when I look to most images and I look at the meaning of them, it's like, this is a pastiche, something that you put together but do not belong together.
> The imagery has, overall, a dark feeling to it. A shadow feeling, if you want.
> It could be too esoteric and counterintuitive for many people.
THE DECK
> Great quality packaging.
> Full-color excellent-quality guidebook.
> Flexible good quality glossy cards, easy to shuffle and handle.
> Light deck.
Dreaming Metaphysical is a book for you if you are a serious dream worker, especially if you are into archetypal dreamwork because Bregman is the founder of this field. If you are not interested in dream work but in Metaphysics, the book will give you food for thought as well because it departs from philosophical principles that might be new to you.
This is a terrific book, one of the most intriguing, profound and challenging I have read in the last year. The book helps you in the quest to find your soul and self not by looking at the sky, so to speak, but by looking inside, into yourself through your dreams.
The book is very spiritual, with constant references to God. Still, it is up to you and your belief system to decide what this God is, because the book does not impose a version of God or spirituality on to you.
Mind, this is not a book about dream interpretation, but about dream and dream work as a portal, as a vehicle towards your psyche and soul. One of the main takes for me is the way Bregman reflects about the creative and transformation power of emotional pain (not in a masochist way, of course!), and a way to profit from the facing of the same.
The book is deep, but it is structured in very short chapters that can be read any time. I found that I had to rest after one or two chapters and "munch" about them.
The Jungian derived terminology (it is not strictly Jungian although sometimes identical) permeates the whole book, and it is really important to get "it". There is a glossary at the back of the book that you need to check before starting the reading if you don't want to get lost before even starting.
