The King of Wands

A couple days ago I bought a really cool tarot deck. I love it because it takes you through four greek myths, and ties each scene to a different card in the series. So say the Suit of Cups is about a love story, with the ups, downs and steps that you might expect in a normal relationship. The Suit of Wands is about that creative spark that drives us to create wonderful things in our jobs and in our hobbies. Think it also has to do with how to act on our ambition.  

I've been playing around with it the past few days and have actually done multiple mini-readings on myself to test my knowledge of the cards and also to test my intuition (if that's the right word). One of the things I asked about was my current job, and funny enough the card I pulled reflected one of the things that I'm supposed to work on this year:  Leadership! 

This isn't to say that I'm not a leader now, but what I need to work on is becoming more of a people leader; taking responsibility and initiative. I think the more you advance in the corporate world the more of a leader you need to be. And in life. I am sure it will come in handy if I ever make the move to full-time healer/writer/intuitive. With this in mind I wasn't too surprised when I pulled the following cards last night: 
  • Knight of Wands:  Juliet Sharman-Burke tells us this often signifies a change of residence, because the individual feels to cramped in their current surroundings. This is so me! Moving half-way across the world because I was bored and cramped 2 years ago, and I'm still a bit of a nomad. And now my sights are set on healing, but that is definitely part of my life plan .... 
  • Ten of Wands: Poor little soul who is overburdened by a really heavy load of sticks. Half them they could dump, and the rest they could carry in a much more convenient way. So true!  I could take a lot of my plate and still be full. This being the 2nd card tells me what I should do. Instead I find myself drifting back to that Knight of Wands and wanting to skeddadle. Not the way forward ... 
  • King of Wands:  To quote Juliette Sharman-Burke, this is "the spirit of leadership, the belief that one has a better idea worth promulgating and working to make it manifest." It is also about engaging people and getting them on your side. LOL I wonder what is in store for me here! Maybe soul healing on a much larger scale? I like the sound of that   =) 

I thought this reading was fantastic because I have the qualities of the "Knight" and need to work on becoming a "King". The Queen isn't anywhere in that reading and I'm wondering how one goes about hopping from point A to point C.  The second card connects the dots -> I need to choose my projects carefully and decide what I will focus on.  Again this is something my boss told me to work on LOL. Funny how you can hear the same message in real life and then see it in the cards. It really hit home when I saw the spread, in part because it confirmed what I already knew, but mostly because the cards are so VISUAL.

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts of kin...

Looking into a Reiki Meta-Analysis (Clinical Study)

A few days ago, I came across a Reiki meta-analysis that was published last year. A meta analysis is a very large study that compiles other studies, in this case randomized controlled trials, and aggregates all of their data. As I have mentioned before, one of the challenging things about holistic studies, and clinical studies in general, is making sure that they accurately measure what they intend to measure. Note: I may come back to this in the future to keep refining information and thoughts, and to simplify it.  In the meantime, my first impressions :  Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.   Syst Rev. 2025 Mar 27;14(1):72.    The participants in these studies were cancer patients, surgical patients and people with chronic issues (including high stress) who were not hospitalized. There weren't enough people in those study groups to generate reliable statistics for cancer vs surgery, but when all of them...

Vibrational Medicine by Dr Richard Gerber (Book Review)

People often ask if energy healing depends on the belief of the client - the placebo effect is real .  And while we   can  harness it by working through feelings and beliefs  that may undermine the healing process,   when I worked in  consumer  healthcare, research was  expected to outperform the placebo.   This is why I was happy to find a  book called  Vibrational Medicine,  by Dr Richard Gerber. It goes  through research done in labs and clinical settings. The book is a brick: 500 pages and almost too technical, but worth reading as an energy healer.   Below you will find highlights from Chapter 8 on Psychic Healing. Please note ,  Energy Healing is complementary to medical care, not alternative.   Dr. Gerber uses the term  'Psychic Healing'  throughout the book; however, in my own practice, I refer to these concepts as  'Energy Healing' based on my studies . Vibrational Medicine, by Richar...
