  • The Harmony Deck is a classic set of 52 playing cards, each offering a practical self-care action to help you regain your balance. By drawing a card and following a simple prompt, to rub, nourish, tap, or trace, you can quickly change how you feel.

    The deck is built on a foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Touch for Health™, massage, nutrition, and psychology. While these systems provide the framework, the deck translates them into straightforward, everyday actions that require no prior training to use effectively.

  • There isn't really a category for The Harmony Deck because it functions differently than most card sets. It isn’t a deck of Angel cards or a traditional Tarot deck. While it has been called "Tarot for the body," there is one major difference: most decks give you a message to interpret, but this deck gives you something to do.

    It’s a physical self-care tool that turns deep systems like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Touch for Health™ into straightforward, everyday actions. Instead of an abstract meaning, you get four specific actions—rub, nourish, tap, or trace—to help you feel settled and grounded in your own skin. It’s less about "reading" and more about "doing."

  • Yes. The Harmony Deck is designed to double as a standard 52-card deck, so you can play Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights, Go Fish, or Solitaire. It is a familiar, comforting deck of cards that also happens to put practical self-care right in your hands.

  •  Yes. The Harmony Deck is a self-care tool, not a medical treatment. It's designed to complement whatever else you're already doing for your health.

  • Each suit represents one pillar of your wellbeing — Spades for your body (structure), Hearts for nutrition, Diamonds for emotions, and Clubs for energy. When you draw cards from all four suits, you're caring for yourself as a whole person, not just one part.

  • The practices are grounded in real modalities — Traditional Chinese Medicine has thousands of years of use, and the physical techniques (rubbing, tapping) have well-documented effects on the nervous system. You don't have to believe in anything to feel the difference. Check it out and see.

  • Yes, I would certainly encourage it— Method 6 on the Layout page is specifically designed for group and family use. It's a fun way to start the day or ground everyone before a shared activity.

The Harmony Deck cards are simple, effective, and relevant. It's kind of like a morning prayer routine. — DeeDee
