Editorial Reviews

Product Description
These days in the quest to calm the body, mind, and soul, finding the time to relax can be a real challenge. In the spirit of the popular Learn to Relax and Learn to Meditate books come these 50 beautifully illustrated cards in soothing colors designed to ease and refresh an exhausted mind. Each card features an inspirational image and mediation excercise drawn from Eastern and Western traditions. With an introduction detailing various ways to use the cards, these pocket-sized guided medtiations make it easier to find peace and fulfillment--even when time is not a luxury. By envisioning rays of dappled sunlight through the petals of a flower, the Lotus Blossom meditation teaches not to forget the spiritual side amidst the frantic pace of modern life, while the Yin and Yang card focuses on the strength found in a glimmer of hope that flickers in darkness. On a hillside, in the backyard, or even at the office, The Relax Deck can teach anyone the art of letting go.

5.0 out of 5 stars BESUTIFUL DECK, August 18, 2000

By	T. Reinhardt "olivia lee" (east coast) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I FOUND THIS DECK TO BE LOVELY. AND I FOUND THE IMAGES TO BE "DEEP" AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING. I USE THIS DECK AS FOLLOWS: I PICK A CARD FOR THE DAY AND CONCENTRATE ON ITS POSSIBLE MEANINGS TO ME. I CARRY IT AROUND, USE IT AS A BOOKMARK,ETC. I FIND THE CARDS TO BE DURABLE AND I FIND THAT I AM ABLE TO FIND MEANING IN THEM. THERE ARE DIRECTIONS AND DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THIS DECK...THIS IS JUST THE METHOD I LIKE. ALSO THE PRICE IS REALLY REASONABLE COMPARED WITH OTHER LIKE PRODUCTS AND IT HAS MUCH LESS PACKAGING (I.E. WASTE) WHICH IS NICE. IF YOU LIKE THESE KIND OF "ITUITIVE" CARDS YOU WILL PROBABLY ENJOY THESE ALSO

5.0 out of 5 stars The Relax Deck, June 26, 2001

I received The Relax Deck as a gift from a young friend upon the death of my husband. The daily meditations are a wonderful aid in making it through what before were just daily tasks.
