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.

This special deck uses the structure of traditional Tarot as a tool for navigating the Hero’s Journey without traditional Tarot. The Archetypes and naming conventions have been changed, but the underlying meaning remains the same. It speaks clearly as a clarifying companion to the Self-Study Oracle and stands alone with cards that display keywords and cardinal directions to help you take a deeper look at where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. This deck was thoughtfully created to provide new information while keeping self-study fresh and fun. Dial in your intuition with this unique tool as a light for your path and a compass to guide your way.

Use these wisdom cards to sharpen your intuition and connect to your inner guru.
A great resource for class themes, meditation and journaling.
Perfect to inspire your personal practice and theming for your classes.

This special edition of the original self-study practice deck was created to help you work through the 12 Principles with simple imagery, bright colors, and obvious targets to set clear intentions. Principle Intentions incorporates the four elements of nature as a guide to easily identifying and applying the four modalities we use throughout the entire Self-Study for Self-Realization Series. These 12 principles stand the test of time, presented here in an order and spirit that closely relates to 12-Step Traditions. We believe these words can be used to set the targets for creation, healing, and recovery of all kinds. We hope you use it daily to awaken the warrior that already lives in you!
