Cards for Enlightenment, August 17, 2004
This review is from: The Power of Intention Cards (Cards)
I have been a long term fan of cards for enlightenment and personal growth. As with most cards of this type, The Power of Intention Cards are an excellent tool for finding digestible bits of knowledge and insight. Dr. Wayne Dyer is a master of quotes, and these cards are filled with his efficient, uplifting words of wisdom. I have recently read his book by the same name, and found this pack of cards to be the perfect compliment for those who want to have a quick reference to his best advice for living a better life.
One notable characteristic of this set of cards is that the graphics are small, old-fashioned, and male oriented. I don't know if this quality is a personal expression of Dr. Dyer's personality, but I found that it might be something male readers might find more appealing then the many cards with more artsy, feminine images. Although this is the most male set of cards I've ever seen, it was certainly an acceptable characteristic to me as a woman since they came from a male author.
Overall, this is a great set of cards for those who want to spend more time thinking about the concepts that Dr. Dyer teaches in The Power of Intention, but don't have the time or desire to reread the whole book every week. The cards are an attractive way to choose a quote or two to post for easy viewing as you retrain your mind to think more positively. I know the book and these cards have made me feel better about my life, and hey, "I want to feel good!" (Dr. Dyer quote).

Align Youself With A Field Of Energy Known As Intention, August 9, 2004
This review is from: The Power of Intention Cards (Cards)
"Dear friends, I've written these cards because I know that intention is a field of energy that flows invisibly beyond the reach of our normal, everyday, habitual patterns. It's a force that we all have within us, and we have the power to draw this energy into our lives by being the energy we want to attract." --Dr. Wayne Dyer
The Power of Intention Cards by Dr. Wayne Dyer are a wonderful companion to his book The Power Of Intention. However, it is not necessary to have read the book to benefit from the wisdom of this 50-card deck, or to use the cards for daily meditation and guidance.
Each card features a simplistic graphic and a brief phrase reflecting a principle from the book The Power Of Intention. On the other side, Dyer expounds on the principle, giving practical insight on how to connect to Source and utilize the power of Intention to attract the energy you desire.
For example, on the back of Overcome Ego's Hold card is the wisdom:
"Let go of your ego's need to be right. When you're in the middle of an argument, ask yourself: Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the joyous, loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened."
Another example, from the back of the Respect Yourself card:
"Make an internal commitment to respect yourself and feel worthy of all that the universe has to offer. If you disrespect anyone or anything God creates, you disrespect that creative force and tarnish your connection to the power of intention."
The Power of Intention Cards offers powerful tools for personal transformation and inner freedom. Although I initially found the graphics masculine and quite plain, the wisdom contained in the cards outweighed any misgivings I had about the illustrations. I highly recommend this deck.
