Edward Chan, from Hong Kong, shares some of his experiences with using the OH cards…
* * *
The first time I met OH Card was in a Couple Training course held in 1989. When I picked up a picture card and the tutor told me to associate with my own history, I said that the picture was in a misty way that I hardly match it correctly with any solid incidents happened in my life. Years after I still encounter some participants in our courses render the same comment as I did. I know the meaning of “rational.”
Being a tutor in social worker training courses, Mrs. Maria Kwong said that the faintness of the pictures is a very effective key to open the door of everybody’s interior world. It touches the field of feelings inside each person that helps to view the true self of each of them. When participant matches the picture card with the word card, it often brings a feeling of shocking on viewing oneself conception. Usually they find a deeper meaning of life for themselves by viewing the set of the cards, and the most important thing is that they find the path of hope in life. Mrs. Kwong always invites the participants to use their five senses to contact with the pictures. We hardly can know what happened in each of these participants in their lives after the training courses, but the fact is that most of them will buy one set of OH Card for their professional use.
Sr. Dominica Cheng, a spiritual teacher, often asks her students to describe what they saw on the pictures through their intuition with relationship to their experiences in their daily life. The “In and Out” traveling is very useful to achieve inspirations. Going in the content of pictures and coming out of it back to one’s life story in history, then stay away from the stories and go back to the content of the pictures in order to obtain more inspiration. The connection between the emotions begets from the picture and the actual life experience outside the picture creates amazing results. Here is one example: one picks up a picture card showing a man with a kid, the immediate connection she came out is the man is her father and she feels sad about her parent’s divorce. Coming back to the present life experience, suddenly she recognized the kid is her father – so week and helpless at the age of 70s.
Sr. Cheng said that OH Card is a very useful instrument for spiritual guidance.
When I see the OH pictures today and still think that the card is misty, I know that I am on the way to know myself better.
