Alright, so let’s talk about these guidance cards kalan. I stumbled across them, wasn’t really looking for anything like ’em, you know? Just heard someone talking about this ‘kalan’ deck, sounded a bit different from the usual stuff I’d seen floating around. Curiosity got the better of me, so I figured, what the heck, let’s see what this is all about.
Getting them was the first step. Found a place online, ordered ’em. Took a while to show up, standard postal delays, I guess. When the package finally landed, I opened it up. The box wasn’t anything special, pretty basic design. The cards themselves? Felt alright, decent enough quality, not too flimsy, not super thick either. The artwork was… interesting. Kinda abstract, not your typical angels or fairies stuff.
My First Go
So, the first time using them felt a bit awkward. Pulled out the little instruction paper, which honestly didn’t say much. Something like ‘clear your mind, shuffle, pull a card’. Okay, easy enough. I gave the deck a shuffle. Then shuffled some more. Felt a bit weird, just shuffling cards in my living room. Finally, I just cut the deck and pulled one card off the top.
The card I got had some odd geometric pattern and a single word: ‘Listen‘. Just that. Listen. To what? To who? It felt super vague. Was I supposed to listen to music? Listen to my gut? Listen to my complaining neighbour? No clue. I kinda shrugged it off that first day.
Trying to Make it a Habit
But, I decided I’d give it a proper go. Paid money for them, right? So, I started trying to pull one card each morning. Just to see. Here’s what I did:
- Wake up, grab coffee.
- Sit down with the kalan deck for a minute.
- Try to think about… well, just the day ahead, maybe? No big questions.
- Shuffle the cards a few times.
- Pull one card.
- Look at the image and the word.
- Just… let it sit there in my mind while I finished my coffee.
Some days were like that first day – totally confusing. Pulled a card that said ‘Flow‘. Okay? Flow like water? Go with the flow? My day involved spreadsheets, not exactly flowing. Another day it was ‘Anchor‘. Bit more concrete, maybe? Like, stay grounded? That kinda made sense, things were a bit hectic at work.
Didn’t treat it like some magic fortune-telling thing. It was more like… a prompt. A random word generator for my brain in the morning. Sometimes the word connected with something going on, made me think ‘huh’. Like the ‘Anchor’ day. Other times, it was just a word on a card. Pulled ‘Sky‘ once. Looked outside. Yep, sky’s still there. Brilliant insight.
What I Think Now
So, after doing this on and off for maybe a couple of months, what’s the verdict on these guidance cards kalan? Well, they’re cards. With pictures and words. For me, the ‘guidance’ part wasn’t some mystical voice from the deck. It was more about the act of pausing for a second. Taking a moment before the day ran away with me.
The card itself was just a random seed for a thought. Sometimes it grew into something slightly useful, a different perspective. Sometimes it didn’t sprout at all. It didn’t radically change my life or anything dramatic. It was just… an experiment. A small ritual for a while.
They’re sitting on my bookshelf now. Haven’t used them in weeks. Maybe I’ll pick them up again, maybe not. It was an interesting little phase, trying out these kalan cards. Just another thing I did, you know?
