Welcome to Sleepless Dream
Essential Recipes Resources Page
About your new deck
This deck was initiated early 2020 by me, Robin Ritz, Certified Kaizen Muse Creativity Coach and DoTerra Wellness Advocate since 2013. I was inspired and intuitively led to develop these recipes and cards and share my wisdom about Essential Oils and Chakras.
This deck is a tool to help you feel grounded, centered, and supported while you dive deeper into Self Knowing and Universal Wisdom.
This deck has 78 cards, just like a Tarot deck, however they are not Tarot, they are Oracle Cards with a twist. There are seven sets with Seven cards each plus a bonus card that is Blank so you can personalize.
The Blank card can be personalized, you can add your own image and recipe to it. While you are waiting to discover your own signature recipe, you can either remove this card so it doesn’t come up in a reading or leave it in and if it comes up, just draw another card in its place. If you have already discovered your favorite card, you can also use that one.
Anatomy of the cards
Working With A New Deck
Bless your Deck. You decide what feels right to you. Make time and clear space to honor this practice. Think about your intention and what you’d like to accomplish with your sacred time together. Engage your element to make the contract binding. (For example: Fire signs might use candles or incense.) Crystals, Moonlight and Smoke are all ritualistic ways of clearing and charging decks.
Find a quiet place when you have enough time and look through the cards. Take in every single image and card. See if any cards ‘jump’ out at you. Be aware if there are any immediate favorites or ones that really get your attention.
Find a special place to keep your deck safe when it is not in use. Be mindful of what type of environment you are creating for it and consider if it aligns with the intentions that you have set.
How to Use Your Deck
Sleepless Dream Essential Recipe cards will provide you with insights about which essential oils can support you on your journey.
If you are new to essential oils, this deck will help you start feeling more acquainted with them.
If you are familiar with essential oils, continue to connect and deepen your relationship with them, your chakras and yourself.
This deck will create more awareness about your 7 Chakras and Energy Centers. Explore how you can help keep them in balance and support them when they feel blocked or depleted.
The recipes provide guidance and inspiration for your daily diffuser, roller oils or room sprays.
The images provide inspiration for meditations, journaling, visualization, and other creative explorations.
The best way to connect with your new deck is to do what feels right for you. Use your intuition, work with your cards and essential oils in which ever ways you feel inspired to.
Cards can simply be drawn in a ‘one a day’ way and used for your daily focus/essential oil blend.
You can choose to work on a specific set and just play with those 7 cards until you feel ready to move on.
Each set can be used to do a 7-card Preferred Shapes Reading.
You can use the whole deck like an Oracle Deck and use them for your favorite divination card reading spreads as you would any other Oracle/Tarot deck.
Instruction for a Shapes Reading
Use the insert for shape meanings and position significance.
Start with selecting your favorite set of 7 cards. Using the provided layout, position each shape in the spot that feels right to you at this moment.
Each position and shape have a universally accepted meaning and can be used for quick readings to ‘check in’ with where you are at and what might be calling to you.
The shapes are an elaboration on the traditional Preferential Shapes Test from Angeles Arrien: Circle, Square, Triangle, Cross, Spiral.
I included the Sun and a Moon to the base set of five shapes to create sets of 7. You could work with one for every different day of the week or focus just on a specific chakra using cards from each set. Each shape also corresponds to a chakra, the oils selected for each recipe support that chakra.
