FAQ: Emotions & Feelings card decks

Emotions & Feelings Card Decks are tools designed to help individuals explore, understand, and process their emotions and feelings. Each card presents a prompt, question, or scenario focused on identifying and reflecting on emotions, encouraging self-awareness and emotional expression. These decks are often used in therapeutic settings, personal development, or emotional regulation practices.

These decks are used by therapists, counselors, educators, parents, and individuals seeking to better understand and express their emotions. They are popular in therapy sessions, classrooms, and personal development practices where emotional intelligence, communication, and self-awareness are important. People looking to improve their emotional well-being, process feelings, or develop better emotional regulation skills also use these decks.

You use these decks to explore and articulate your emotions, fostering greater emotional intelligence and awareness. The cards provide a structured and supportive way to recognize, process, and express feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. They are especially useful for enhancing communication in relationships, managing stress or anxiety, and promoting mental well-being. These decks can also help individuals develop healthier ways of coping with challenging emotions.

To use the deck, you draw a card that offers a question, prompt, or scenario related to emotions or feelings. You then reflect on the emotion or feeling the card addresses, either by journaling, meditating, or discussing it with a therapist or group. The cards can be used in therapy sessions to facilitate conversations about emotions, or individually as a tool for emotional reflection and self-discovery. Some users integrate the cards into their daily routines to check in with their emotional state, helping them gain better control and understanding of their feelings.

"The Journey Beyond – My Loved One Shines On!"
A Digital Card Deck to Connect Across the Veil

What if your loved one is trying to send you a sign right now?

Over a decade ago, my six-year-old grandson, Dylan Skye, left this world, and yet, he's never left my side. Five days after his transition, he gifted me a poem. His first words were, "Oh, you are wrong if you think I'm gone. I am right there in your favorite song." It was the birth of my soul. I entwined my photographs with his words. That poem became a book. But Dylan wasn't done. In his typical playful, determined fashion, he guided me to create something more. That book evolved into this digital card deck. A joyful, healing, sacred spiritual scavenger hunt that others could join. The Journey Beyond was born.

"The Journey Beyond – My Loved One Shines On!" was created in sacred collaboration with my wise, clever, endlessly energetic, and delightfully humorous grandson. Though he crossed the veil in 2012, Dylan continues to inspire, guide, and surprise me every step of the way. This project has become our pilgrimage, side by side, one woven with love, laughter, and a shared desire to help others reconnect with those they miss.

There are seven unique suits: Colors, Numbers, Signs, Self-Care, Celebrate Your Loved One, Training, and Quotes, each with 11 cards. Every card offers three perspectives filled with creativity, two words for your spiritual treasure hunt list, and wisdom waiting to be unraveled. And when the only wild card, Number 0, appears, expect something extra magical.

You're not alone. Invite your loved one to help you choose cards, plant synchronicities and cheer you on. Yes, even beloved pets, like my faithful dog and companion Zelda, are powerful and eager to send signs, too. Just ask, and they'll show you.

This deck is a companion to our book, "My Loved One Shines On! A Gift from Beyond", which we have gifted to you in the Quotes suit, expressed through 11 heartfelt video messages.

Start with an open heart. Breathe. Ask your loved one to join you.
Let's make it playful, meaningful, and full of awe. Pull a card. Follow the thread. Perceive the signs. Unravel the magic.

Take the trail that scares you a little. It's often the one with the view that steals your breath and stirs your soul.

Love is indelible. Your loved one is closer than you think.

We're so grateful you're here!

With love and wonder,

Disa & Dylan Skye

Dedicated with love to Brian Carrillo, Zelda Bluemoon, and Cambria Ann. They are all loving family members who crossed over during the making of these sacred cards.

"Man... That would be awesome!"

Say It Like You Mean It Conversation Starter Deck

50 RADICAL QUESTIONS FOR YOUR ETHICAL NON-MONOGAMY JOURNEY

SINGLE DECK

Say It Like You Mean It: The ENM Conversation Starter Deck
Because silence won’t save your relationship. Clarity will.

Navigating ethical non-monogamy (ENM) requires more than desire—it demands emotional honesty, cultural awareness, and communication skills that most of us were never taught. That’s where this deck comes in.

Say It Like You Mean It is a bold, 50+ card digital deck designed to help you and your partners move past surface-level talk and into courageous, real conversation. Whether you're just opening up your relationship, exploring your boundaries, or deep into the world of polyamory, swinging, or relationship anarchy—this deck gives you the words when you don’t know how to start.

The Problem:
Many people struggle to say what they really feel, want, or fear—especially in ENM, where cultural shame, jealousy, and emotional triggers can silence us or spark conflict.
So instead of connection, we get confusion. Instead of honesty, we get avoidance.

The Transformation:
This deck helps you move from silence to clarity, from fear to truth, from guessing to understanding.
Each card invites you to explore deeper emotional truths, confront internal blocks, and name your needs without guilt or shame. It’s perfect for solo reflection, couples, throuples, or group dynamics.

What You'll Explore:

💬 Radical communication

🔥Boundaries, triggers, and desires

❤️ Emotional management (including jealousy)

🌍 Cultural conditioning around sex, love, and worthiness

🧠 Self-awareness + deeper partner connection

Use it for deep talks, intimacy building, conflict prevention—or just to shake things up in a meaningful way.

Your love. Your rules. Your freedom.
And now… your language.

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

All About Feelings

THESE DOUBLE-SIDED BRIGHTLY COLORED FLASHCARDS CAN BE USED DURING A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES TO TARGET RECEPTIVE, EXPRESSIVE, AND SOCIAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

SINGLE DECK

Do you want to work on improving communication, literacy, and social emotional skills with your student and/or child with complex communication needs? These double-sided brightly colored flashcards can be used during a variety of activities to target receptive, expressive, and social communication skills.

Here are some ideas to get started:
1. Work on print awareness and phonemic awareness by modeling the letter on the card and then sounding it out. With the visual cue, it will help students connect the letter and word with the corresponding picture.
2. Ask your student to think of another word that starts with the target letter. For example, if you are doing "W" for "wet", ask your student to tell you another word that starts with W.
3. Answer “wh” questions. For example, for the word "tired", "Where do you sleep when you are tired?"
4. Work on synonyms and antonyms. What is the opposite of hungry?
5. Target decoding and reading fluency by reading the sentence on the back of the card.
6. Work on communication by modeling the word in a sentence on the child's talker. For example, for the word "quiet", I can create the sentence..."The library is quiet."
7. Target upper- and lower-case letters of the alphabet. On each card, there is the upper case and lower case of the target letter.
8. Improve vocabulary by defining the word. For example, what does the word "busy" mean? Use the target word during natural interactions so it can be easily understood.
9. Improving overall emotions. Talk about how your student/child feels. Model the vocabulary. For example, during snack time, model the word "hungry" on the card and the talker (if applicable). Implement this strategy for both positive and negative emotions.
10. Play a game by calling out a letter sound and your student/child must find the correct card with the same sound.

Finally, use the cards as a companion to my book, All About Feelings, an Alphabet Book for Emerging Readers.

"The Intuition Heart Cards are a delightful way to explore the many aspects of the heart....and our deepest desire...to love and be loved. The cards give messages and guidance that provide inner reflection and intuitive interpretation. 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. I recommend these cards to individuals, couples, and counselors in search of a non-threatening and inspiring tool." - Rev. Cynthia James, Mile Hi Church, Colorado, USA

I wouldn’t know what to do without them." -Tally Willmont, Founder of Equine Promise Program, CA
