An informative introduction includes tips for beginners followed by a glossary of the seventy-eight cards in a standard deck.

The Fool card, for example, typically represents a curious, fearless novice who is open to change and ready for anything.

Brain Food - A Daily Dose of Creativity by Klara Lindberg; Magnus Frederiksen

$32.00 AUD

Category: Creativity & Art Therapies

For something many of us love and admire, creativity is a wildly misunderstood thing. One big mistake is seeing creativity as something only a few of us are born with, while the rest of us just have to sit back and watch the special people have all the fun. But that's not true at all. Creativity is in a ll of us. And just like with anything else we're all capable of, like speaking with animals or levitating or controlling the weather, it comes more naturally to some of us than others. Some of us just need a little more practice. The more we practice, the better we get. And the better we get, the more energising and encouraging it all becomes. We can learn to let our minds stumble down new paths, discover the unexpected, and express what we find in words or imagery or emotions, abstract or concrete, big or small. Along the way, we realise everything can be a creative act. Planning meals for the week or walking to work can be as expressive and fulfilling as writing a novel or painting a ...Show more

21 Rituals to Connect with Nature by Theresa Cheung

$25.95 AUD

Category: Creativity & Art Therapies

Following on from the success of Theresa Cheung's previous 21 Ritual series comes a nature-based daily practice book.  It contains 21 simple, easy daily rituals to help you tune into the natural world around you helping you to feel more grounded and connected to yourself and others.  It is well known t hat spending time in nature increases our health, vitality, and sense of wellbeing. Some researchers have linked obesity, ADHD, and other health conditions to a disconnection from nature (what Richard Louv calls 'nature-deficit disorder'). The problem is that our society has never been as far removed from nature or our natural affinities with the nonhuman world as we are today. Spending more time in nature is an obvious solution to feelings of disconnection.  Drawing on what science and psychology teach us about the benefits of connecting more to the living power of nature and how to strengthen it using the life changing power of ritual this book offers 21 powerful rituals that don't necessarily require a wilderness trek or trip to the countryside. Readers will be encouraged to perform 21 'connecting with nature' rituals every day over a three-week period as research shows that it takes around three weeks to ensure a daily ritual becomes entrenched at neural level.  Some of the rituals will need to be performed outdoors in easy to find locations but others can be performed in your home or office. The first week will focus on connecting with nature indoors, the second in the fresh air and the third at a specific location so the progression to 'wild' nature is accessible. The rituals are very easy to understand and incorporate into everyday life; some in a matter of moments and others a little while longer. ...Show more

Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works: Volume II 33 1/3 by Marc Weidenbaum

$19.95 AUD

Category: Music Therapies | Series: 33 1/3

Extravagantly opaque, willfully vaporous - Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II, released by the estimable British label Warp Records in 1994, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. In the United States, it was his first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonn a and Depeche Mode), which helped usher in Richard D. James, for whom Aphex Twin is but one of numerous monikers, as a major force in music, electronic or otherwise. Faithful to Brian Eno's definition of ambient music, Selected Ambient Works Volume II was intentionally functional: it furnished chill out rooms, the sanctuaries amid intense raves. Choreographers and film directors began to employ it to their own ends, and in the intervening decades this background music came to the fore, adapted by classical composers who reverse-engineer its fragile textures for performance on acoustic instruments. Simultaneously, "ambient" has moved from esoteric sound art to central tenet of online culture. This book contends that despite a reputation for being beat-less, the album exudes percussive curiosity, providing a sonic metaphor for our technologically mediated era of countless synchronized nanosecond metronomes. ...Show more
