FAQ: Brainstorming & Ideation card decks

Brainstorming & Ideation decks are tools designed to spark creativity, generate new ideas, and encourage innovative thinking. Each card typically contains prompts, questions, or exercises that challenge users to think outside the box, explore different perspectives, or combine concepts in new ways. These decks are characterized by their ability to disrupt habitual thinking patterns, inspire creative problem-solving, and guide users through structured or unstructured ideation processes. They are flexible tools that can be used individually or in group settings for team collaboration.

Brainstorming & Ideation decks are used by creative professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, teams, and anyone seeking to generate fresh ideas or solve problems creatively. Accessing the decks on your phone makes them more accessible, allowing users to engage with creativity prompts anytime, whether during a brainstorming session, in the middle of a meeting, or when inspiration strikes. The digital format also allows for spontaneous, on-the-go use, making it easier to capture and develop ideas during free moments or collaborate with others remotely.

Brainstorming & Ideation decks are valuable because they provide structured ways to break through creative blocks, inspire new ways of thinking, and encourage ideation in both individual and team settings. They help users approach problems with fresh perspectives, leading to more innovative solutions. As a mobile app, they become even more valuable because users can engage with ideation prompts anytime, anywhere. The app format enhances the experience by offering features like shuffle options, digital note-taking, sharing ideas with collaborators, and reminders to revisit or build on ideas over time, thus fostering continuous creativity.

Brainstorming & Ideation decks are used by drawing cards that offer specific prompts, challenges, or techniques to stimulate new ideas. Users can pull a card to start a creative session, solve a specific problem, or break out of a creative rut. When these decks are available on your phone, they become a portable, always-accessible tool that allows for creativity whenever inspiration strikes. Being digital also makes it easier to share insights with others, store ideas, and revisit them later, enhancing both individual and group ideation processes. The app format encourages ongoing engagement and creative exploration, even during short breaks or in unexpected moments.

Dissolving Imposter Syndrome

UNCOVER YOUR BRILLIANCE AND SHINE BRIGHTLY

SINGLE DECK

Welcome to the Dissolving Imposter Syndrome Card Deck.

My intention is for this deck to be used to dismantle and dissolve fears, limiting beliefs, patterns, programs, repeating patterns, unworthiness, self-doubt and anything else standing in the way of you showcasing your Particular skills and gifts. Each of us has a gift or gifts that we have come here to share with others. Sometimes a negative experience, a negative comment, a run of bad luck, low self-esteem, anxiety and regular old fear can get in the way of us Shining our Light, shining and sharing our Gifts with the World.

This deck is here to support you as you navigate the dismantling and dissolving of all the things that stand in your way.

The deck has four categories and several bonus cards. Each category is color coded with a theme.

The first category is the dissolving piece. These cards are yellow. Yellow, like the third chakra to access your Power. These cards provide information and prompts to get you thinking about where Imposter Syndrome may have originated for you.

The second category is called Questions to Support You. These cards are Purple. Another powerful and strong color to lift you up as you contemplate each question meant to support you on your journey.

The third section is called, Inspiration. These cards are pink. The beach scene with a pink background is intended to drop you into a relaxed state and provide a sense of inspiration. As you feel the warmth of the ocean water and air, feel your feet in the sand, the intention here is to feel inspired by the information on these cards.

And lastly, the blue cards are the Take Action cards. This is where I prompt you to take some action each time these cards are pulled. Be gentle with yourself with these and be sure to have fun taking one small step towards your goals and dreams.

A Dissolving Imposter Syndrome workshop will be offered throughout the year. The deck will be a support to the workshop. Rest assured, if you can't take the workshop with me, the card deck will serve as a helpful companion on your journey towards stepping forward with your gifts with more confidence and certainty.

Wishing you so much love and success on your journey and remember to be gentle with yourself and curious about the process.

I look forward to hearing about all your successes and seeing you Shine brightly as the stars in the night sky.

Much love,
Anastasia

THE CHILD PROPHET LOVING KINDNESSES ICONIC DECK

IS YOUR INNER CHILD TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

SINGLE DECK

Welcome to this very special intuitive deck of LOVINGKINDNESSES — companion to the award-winning illustrated book, THE CHILD PROPHET — and to the experiences and truths, this tool reveals.

The iconic symbols and energies from spirit and science come through love and serve listening to Source and your intuition. They are a holistic means with which to illuminate your inner voice. Each symbol is rooted in time and space, so each has a powerful vibration familiar to your spiritual essence, and each is easy to wield.

While this deck contains many symbols, the title word LOVINGKINDNESSES is also rich meaning: affection, mercy, reverence, grace, and behavior that expresses love. In Buddhism, it signifies unconditional benevolence to all beings.

LOVINGKINDNESSES has 16 letters. The number 16 symbolizes introspection, wholeness, and completion; it is double purity, kindness, and luck. The esoteric meaning of 16 is that new knowledge is acquired, and there will be opportunities to use it. Sixteen is also the symbol of love and loving in the Bible, and it is the “duality of true love.” In numerology, 1+6=7 and seven convey the responsibility to listen to your inner voice.

There are 67 symbol cards in the deck. 67 is a magical number meaning that your angels are near and ready to help you realize your higher purpose in this earthly life experience.

About the LOVINGKINDNESSES cards and how to use them:

Your intuition is the key to using this deck. First, have a clear intention. Shuffle. Then draw and lay out the cards and interpret them and the message each offers. The symbol on each card is ancient and full of energy and meaning that transcends. Each is innate and speaks on a deeper level with the soul. Each came from Source through meditation and journeying. And messages from Sources come with each symbol to help translate them.

There are four faces on each card:
1) in gold - the symbol, with the name of the card and a few keywords
2) in rose - a deeper derivation of the symbol, a direct message from the inner child – Source
3) in silver - the divination
4/ in blue - related actions you can take
