In 2003, I came up with the idea for a deck of cards based on the healing wisdom of the world.s spiritual traditions. Working with renowned teacher and author Caroline Myss, I extracted insights or direct quotations from the sacred writings of Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Native American and other traditions. This healing wisdom is part of the universal spring of mystical insight that all the great traditions have in common, and that transcends purely sectarian beliefs and dogma. Caroline then created a brief suggestion applying this healing wisdom in everyday life, in a form designed to heal whatever aspect of your life you choose to address. The healing wisdom appeared on the front of each card, the practical application on the reverse.

The cards, featuring the artwork of master illustrator Janice Fried, were produced and distributed by Hay House, Inc., and have remained in print continuously since 2003. Now a media company has produced an iPhone application that puts the cards at your fingertips. The fully illustrated front and back of ech card is included in the app along with the complete text of the booklet I wrote to accompany the original deck. That text explains the provenance of each card's healing wisdom, including sourcebooks for further reading, along with my own insights into the universal mystical wisdom that Aldous Huxley called the Perennial Philosophy.
