FAQ: Mindfulness card decks

Mindfulness decks are tools designed to help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness, self-reflection, and mental clarity. Each card typically contains prompts, exercises, or reflections aimed at grounding the user in the present, enhancing focus, or reducing stress. They often encourage breathing exercises, mindful observation, or reflections on emotions and thoughts. The key characteristic of mindfulness decks is their ability to provide quick, digestible content that supports a regular mindfulness practice, reinforcing calm, balance, and awareness.

The key characteristic of mindfulness decks is their ability to provide quick, digestible content that supports a regular mindfulness practice, reinforcing calm, balance, and awareness.

Mindfulness decks are valuable because they provide structure and guidance for cultivating regular mindfulness habits, which are essential for mental health and well-being. The prompts and exercises offer immediate ways to focus attention, reduce stress, and encourage present-moment awareness. As a mobile app, mindfulness decks become even more valuable because they allow users to access these calming practices anytime, anywhere. Notifications, reminders, and easy access to the decks encourage consistent engagement, helping to build a sustainable mindfulness practice that fits into daily life.

Mindfulness decks are used by drawing cards that prompt specific mindfulness activities, such as breathing exercises, body scans, or mindful observation. Being on your phone changes this by making mindfulness practice more accessible and portable. You can pull up a card during moments of stress, on a break, or even while commuting, ensuring mindfulness is integrated seamlessly into daily routines. The digital format allows users to engage with the content instantly, and app features like guided audio, reminders, and tracking progress can further deepen the mindfulness experience.

MINDFUL INTELLIGENCE Cartoon Practice Cards

EVOLVE WITH MINDFUL CARTOON PRACTICE CARDS

SINGLE DECK

Mindful Intelligence Cards are based on the book Mindful Intelligence: and the Making of You, by Tracy Rowan.

Mindful Intelligence books and cards help people apply mindfulness practice to everyday life moments, through attitudes (blue cards), awareness (purple), and action/reactions (blue-green). Trump cards affect the overall impression of the reading.

When on the go, travelling, or in airplane mode, your decks are there with you on your phone to consult about Relationships and Self-Awareness as you develop the habit of applying Mindful practice to all aspects of life.

There are three Mindful Intelligence Card Decks that complement each other. Combine them for more complex readings:

Mindful Intelligence Self-Practice Cards,
Mindful Intelligence Relationship Cards, and
Mindful Intelligence Cartoon Practice Cards.

Use the cards with the book (available at Amazon or your local bookstore), use decks on their own, or use more than one deck in a reading, in the Deckible app.

Each deck is arranged by 52 topics that can be looked up in the book for further information, where topics are listed alphabetically. The Self-Practice and Relationship cards have a reflection for each topic plus 8 trump cards, and the cartoon deck has a cartoon for each topic, and 15 practice cards.

Think of a question…
Choose a layout…
Select cards that draw your attention.

Try the different card layouts:
-Free form
-Past Present Future
-Problem Solving
-The Split Decision
-Yes No
-Mind Body Spirit
-Suit draw (attitude, awareness, action/reaction, trump)

In addition to the reading, you could...
--Practice developing intuition: Gaze at the cartoons, or the scene in trump cards, and set the meditation timer in the deckible app. See what thoughts and images come to your mind as you practice slow deep breathing.
--Use the 15 practice cards (in the Cartoon Practice Cards Deck), to learn how to be "mindful on the move," and train your brain to go beyond repetitive thinking, to focus with more intention. Try different practices while on a walk, or while moving through your day. Through neuroplasticity, the brain can change to more easily focus on what you want (instead of what you don't want).

The Enough Experience: 100 Women, 100 Voices, 100 Cards, One Powerful Message

The Enough Experience is a transformative card deck like no other, created by 100 incredible women who have courageously stepped into their truth. This deck captures their raw, unfiltered self-portraits, their wisdom, and their authentic voices. Each card tells a story of resilience, vulnerability, and the undeniable truth that every woman is already more than enough.

These self-portraits were taken by the women themselves—no filters, no Photoshop, no AI, and no touch-ups. Each image is unapologetically real, capturing their raw beauty and the depth of their personal journeys. Every pose, every message, and every voice is a testament to their resilience, courage, and the transformation that comes from embracing the Enough Experience.

The Enough Experience is more than just a card deck; it’s an invitation. It calls on women everywhere to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and embrace the truth: you’ve played small long enough. You are enough, right now, just as you are. This journey is about rediscovering your power, owning your story, and realizing that you don’t need to change or fix yourself—you only need to accept that you are worthy and whole in this very moment.

Every card in the Enough Experience deck is infused with the wisdom and authenticity of the women who created it. Week by week, new cards will be added to this evolving deck, until all 100 cards are complete. Each addition expands the collective message of empowerment, reminding us that the Enough Experience is not just about these women—it’s about all of us.

Through participating in the Enough Experience, these women have undergone profound transformations. Many have shed years of self-doubt, embraced their imperfections, and found freedom in showing up as their true selves. This deck reflects that journey—one of courage, healing, and the realization that being “enough” isn’t just a goal; it’s a truth we are all born with but too often forget.

Let the Enough Experience inspire you to reclaim your power, connect with your own story, and step into your enoughness. It’s time to stop waiting, stop hiding, and start living as the person you’ve always been—because you are, and always have been, more than enough.

Life Cards

DEAL YOURSELF A NEW HAND.

SINGLE DECK

Your brain is a powerful tool. Play LIFE CARDS to program your brain with new software. Think better, faster and more creatively.

Entirely an original concept, designed, developed and successfully play tested over many years, now presented in a handy deck of cards.

Our way of thinking is a habit. A groove in the brain if you like, that is the brain’s preferred route.
Imaging a thought being like running water that creates a course. It always takes the same path, and the longer you think the same way, the deeper the channel gets.

Eventually the thought cannot escape and becomes a habit.

However studies have shown that our brains are actually quite malleable and that there are ways of creating new pathways.

Life cards give you the opportunity to turn the Current View of the Situation into a Better View of the Situation.

CVS 2 BVS
“Hewitt-Gleeson referred to CVS 2 BVS as the “universal software.” What does this term mean? Simply put: Whatever the current view of the situation (CVS), there is always a better view of the situation (BVS) — if one only looks for it. “The universal brain software allows the brain user to switch from one parallel universe to another,” or from the current view to a better view.”

Basically meaning that if you always do what you’ve always done, don’t expect the outcome to be any different and that a new or better view can often deliver a better outcome.

Playing life cards, you will soon discover that with practice, your brain can adapt and begin to look for new pathways all by itself.

Playing life cards will encourage your brain to do what you want it to by deliberately distracting it with a new task or idea.

Life cards are easy and fun to play, loaded with positive intent and motivational concepts.
