Description
A card set of 52 mindfulness practices that don't involve silent sitting--simple techniques anyone can do, based on the best-selling book Mindfulness on the Go.
Mindfulness is a simple practice with seemingly limitless benefits. And, contrary to popular belief, learning it does not require sitting motionless for hours in the lotus position. You can in fact access it right now—and this little deck of cards is a convenient way to get started.
Each of the 52 cards presents one of the exercises Zen teacher Jan Chozen Bays has developed for fostering mindful awareness among her students.
It’s as easy as:
Observing the sensations of eating ● “checking in” while driving your car ● taking three breaths whenever a phone rings ● aiming to be on time to everything for a week ● conscious smiling ● relaxing your hands several times a day ● resolving to pay a compliment daily ● listening like a sponge ● and so forth
Pick a card a week and try it. Before long these small moments of awareness will accumulate to infuse your days with the wisdom and kindness that are the natural result of mindful living.

A handy personal resource, Mindfulness on the Go Cards reinforce the principles in Jan Chozen Bays' previously published works on the topic. My favorite card is the first one: Use your non-dominant hand. It's more challenging than you think it will be!
Every card provides background, rationale, and a great way to live a mindful life. The fact that there is a card for each week of the year makes the information and practices easy to manage and integrate.
Wish list for the future: I would like to see a version for kids and another one for teens. I hope these are in the works! I would purchase a set of each for my home.
