FAQ: Purpose & Priority card decks

Purpose & Priority decks are reflective tools designed to help individuals explore and clarify their core values, strengths, obstacles, challenges, and past traumas. They serve as prompts to guide users in questioning what truly matters in life and identifying their purpose. These decks encourage deep self-reflection and decision-making, often incorporating exercises that align personal priorities with actions. A unique characteristic of these decks is that they can be used individually or in a collaborative process with friends, family, or colleagues, facilitating meaningful conversations around life choices and alignment with one's values.

Purpose & Priority decks are used by individuals looking for clarity, life alignment, and personal growth. They are also valuable in group settings, such as team-building exercises or family discussions, where collaboration can help uncover shared or individual priorities. Accessing these decks on your phone makes them more accessible and flexible, allowing users to engage with their priorities and purpose in real-time, whenever they need to. Whether in private moments of reflection or during group discussions, the digital format allows for immediate access, ensuring reflection is integrated smoothly into everyday life.

These decks are used to provide clarity around life's most important questions—what we value, the strengths we can lean on, and the challenges we need to overcome. They help individuals live in alignment with their values and make intentional decisions. As a mobile digital resource, they are valuable because they encourage regular reflection in convenient, bite-sized moments throughout the day. Being digital allows users to revisit their values and priorities anytime, ensuring that they can stay focused on what matters most, even amidst the demands of daily life.

Purpose & Priority decks are typically used by drawing cards that prompt reflection on core life aspects like values, strengths, obstacles, and traumas.

Having these decks on your phone changes the experience by making this process more flexible and accessible. It allows users to engage with their personal purpose and priorities during free moments or share insights in collaborative group settings, making reflection and realignment a continuous part of daily life.

Coaching: Introduction to the GROW Model

FIRST STEPS IN USING THE GROW MODEL TO COACH YOURSELF OR OTHERS

SINGLE DECK

Introduction to the GROW Coaching Model
Whether you are already a coach, or you may wish to develop coaching skill, or you simply wish to experience some coaching on your own; this deck is the resource for you!

The GROW Model is one of the most widely taught coaching frameworks and is used by profesisonal coaches worldwide.

Divided into four main sections, these cards help you explore any challenge, opportunity, problem in a way that loosens up your existing thinking patterns and allows your own wisdom and insight to emerge. It's like one of those really great conversations you have with a friend who doesn't tell you what you 'should' do, but you end up feeling really clear.

The four sections are:
Goal - it may sound odd, but many people who come to coaching don't know what they want; but can often identify what they don't want anymore. That's a good start, but the green Goal cards are designed to help get crystal clear on what the outcome actually is. Top tip here: quality time spent in this section is always worthwhile, don't be tempted to skimp!

Reality - this amber section is all about what is stopping them from having achieved the goal already; what gets in the way, what have they tried that didn't work etc. Top tip - sometimes, new coaches are so keen to help clients solve their problem, that they don't spend enough time in this section because they are keen to get to solutions: spoiler alert...if solutions would automatically do it, they'd have done it by now!

Options - the blue section is all about generating potential solutions, even ones that have been rulled out or that you might not have considered yet. It's useful in this section to include any ideas that might sound 'silly' or way out; you can always rule them out later.

Will & Way Forward - the final pink section is about bringing all of it together, making some choices from a place of having gone through the process and to focus on an action or a path to go forward. As they say, even a well-thought-through goal with no action will remain simply a nice dream. So this is the time to commit.

There is also an optional 'coach recap' card for each section. If you are learning coaching, these can be a great way to check-in with your client if you have asked enough questions in that section, or if there's 'more to come'.

The GROW model was never intended to be a sequential model - it is great to recognise that you need to return to a different section to refine the goal further, for example, or to generate additional options. It is a flexible set of questions to surface clarity and resourcefulness, so use it as is helpful.

Each card has a proprietary structure designed to cement your learning: a reason behind askng the question and a reminder or tip that supports it. The physical cards were designed almost 15 years ago to make it easier for new coaches to become more skilled and confident while they practice, so we know they work well. The bonus is that, the more you use the cards; the more intuitively you can remember the questions and the more natural coaching becomes.

And if you have found these cards useful, we have additional decks available to add further to your toolkit: the Intermediate and Advanced GROW decks follow on from this deck, with increasingly powerful questions as you become confident in your own coaching skills. And there are other decks available for Developing Emotional Intelligence, Building Personal Resilience, carrying out Successful Appraisals, working with Values and also Strengths.

These cards are a great tool to help individuals and groups shed obstacles that block our highest love flow." - Nancy Clemens, author of The Dolphin Divination Cards"

" It is quite wonderful to experience the opening in people as they pick just the right card for their personal situation. In my work with couples the cards have acted as vehicles for authentic sharing and heart opening revelations. I have watched the cards create spaces in clients that are clearly linked to an inner knowing. On more than one occasion, a client has asked to pull cards at the beginning of a session.

Step into a world where ancient wisdom meets modern guidance, where the ethereal whispers of the Universe find form in beautifully crafted cards. The journey of the Wisdom of Shaltazar Oracle Cards began in the most unexpected way, a convergence of cosmic intention and human inspiration.

Picture this: a seasoned channeler, Jeffrey, had been in communion with the enigmatic entity known as Shaltazar for years. The idea of creating an Oracle card deck was tossed into the air by his friend, Sara Sanquino, like a sparkling possibility. Jeffrey, intrigued yet uncertain, could hardly fathom the path this seedling idea would tread.

But Shaltazar, oh ever-persistent and wise, had other plans. The nudge of cosmic guidance stirred Jeffrey's heart, and thus commenced a remarkable expedition to unveil profound wisdom for the betterment of many. Sara's artistic hands lent life to Shaltazar's insights, giving shape and colour to the formless teachings.

The Osho Zen Tarot cards were an integral part of Jeffrey's journey of self-discovery. They held not just a message but a keen commentary, a lantern to illuminate the path. And so, with a desire to mirror this brilliance, the format for the Shaltazar deck took shape. Enter Mark Layne, the wordsmith collaborator, invited to weave insightful narratives for each card.

With the stars aligned, the ensemble was complete, and the journey unfurled. Over 24 months, a dance between realms transpired. Jeffrey channeled, bridging realms, while Mark, a true bard, translated cosmic whispers into relatable human commentaries. Two worlds entwined, two souls enriched.

Why, you might wonder, did they settle on 55 cards? Ah, the enchanting numerology holds the answer. 55, a masterful duo of fives, dances in realms of change, transformation, and personal growth. It’s a cosmic wink, a nod from the Universe itself. A double helix of change, a symphony of shifts. This number doesn't just whisper but shouts: awaken, evolve, embrace.

And now, a labour of love and cosmic communion stands before you – the Wisdom of Shaltazar Oracle Cards. A tool not only to glimpse into the depths of your journey but to navigate its waters. Jeffrey, Mark, and Sara, the cosmic triumvirate, offer this gift to you, wrapped in love and bathed in light. As they have transformed, so shall you.

So, dear traveller, are you ready? Ready to step into the river of change, to dance with transformation, and to embrace the light of your own intuition? The cards are drawn, the journey beckons.

Welcome to the Wisdom of Shaltazar Oracle Cards.

We hope the wisdom in these oracle cards will help you live a more fulfilled life, allowing you to experience more contentment, happiness, joy, peace, and love more of the time.

Return to Mindfulness

EIGHT SKILLS TO LIVE, LOVE, AND LEAD FROM A PLACE OF CLARITY AND CONNECTION

SINGLE DECK

Life is messy. And it’s beautiful. The Return deck offers a mindful lens for everyday life, to find beauty even in the messiness. You can draw cards to gain clarity about what’s happening and what’s important in the middle of a challenging day. You can also practice with the cards when life is good—to deepen your connection with all of life in that moment and make meaningful choices that benefit you, your loved ones, and the world.

Like a mindful friend, these cards are designed to be there for you when you need them.

Practice and play with the mindfulness cards to:

  1. Start your day intentionally
  2. Find clarity about a situation or relationship
  3. Make choices that are personally and collectively fulfilling
  4. Share a meaningful experience with a loved one
  5. Return to your present moment experience, possibilities, and creative insight

These cards are a work of love combining many hours of meditation, contemplative discussions, research, and a human centered approach to address the question:

What would help meditators integrate mindfulness into their everyday life?

The answers, we discovered, are relevant to everyone—whether you’ve been meditating for years or you’re not interested in meditation. Here’s the thing. Our minds enable us to see clearly, connect deeply, and find creative solutions. The same mind can also cloud our thinking, create divisiveness, and cause harm to ourselves and others.

While we may not have control over our circumstances, we can systematically and playfully strengthen habits of the mind that enable us to return to our innate capacity to know, feel, love, and connect with what’s important while staying open to possibilities.

More specifically, there are eight habits of the mind that empower us to be mindful in the real world:
1. Awareness
2. Compassion
3. Curiosity
4. Energy
5. Appreciative Joy
6. Inner Calm
7. Focus
8. Equanimity

Yup, based on the original mindfulness teachings and modern science, we can strengthen these eight habits that disrupt our default tendencies to rush and react and be mindful. This deck was designed to help you do that!

ABOUT THE CREATORS
Each card in this deck has been lovingly created by Dr. Shalini Bahl and Max Alaghband to meet you wherever you are on your journey.
