Cultivating Kindness Cards

Cultivating Kindness Cards Each week CK Cards were posted with a few words about what each one is about. Contact Joan directly at 916.802.8798 or [email protected]

If you would like the 'backstory' on each card, please scroll back to the beginning of FB page & comment! This deck of 52 cards are images and words that speak to your heart. I made the deck in honor of my Dad who said he didn't know 'how' to be kind. That really stumped me since I thought he was one of the kindest people I knew! I made him a 'deck' long before computers of laminated cards with typewritten words.

DAY 51 To Consecrate means to declare sacred or holy. How does life change when we make this declaration throughout our lives? Holding this awareness changes an environment, a relationship, a thought. What will you consecrate today?

DAY 50 How do we find this place of Serenity within ourselves? To be serene is a state of calm and untroubled. The red rose is a symbol of love as well as the heart. The hands in 'prayer' mudra also holds the meaning of the true nature of things beyond distinction. Breathing into this place brings us to the place of peace beyond understanding, it simply is...

DAY 49 The word Noble implies regal or high rank of birth. Yet how does it show itself within our Nature? Within each of us we are capable of discovering and implementing our 'high road' of behavior. Even when it is hard, we can accomplish it because we find courage in doing the right thing...This mudra - Sacred hand placement - gives us the 'unshakability' to stay steady in what we know to be true.

DAY 48 How many times do we hold back instead of reaching out? As my yoga teacher advised, always try 3 times to resolve something with someone. Then you can give them the 'gift of your absence' which they may have been wanting anyway...you at least know that you tried...the reality is that sometimes we miss them more than they miss us!

DAY 47 Sometimes we don't tell people how we really feel and it is always good and never a mistake to speak from your heart in order to live a life without regret.

I was not able to post for the last few weeks and am trying to follow through and complete this year long project. It can be so easy to allow things to go by the wayside...

DAY 46 Sometimes when people we care about are hurting or struggling we want to help by suggesting things for them to 'do'. I had someone tell me one time that all she really needed from me was to hear "I Understand". It went deep into my heart and I understood...

DAY 45 The next few weeks will be cards that are about reconnecting when bonds have been broken. This one is about how sometimes we want to be right so much that we become blinded by the fact that there is always more than one perspective. It is a courageous act to humble ourselves and reach out. Even if it may not be received. Our peace comes from knowing that we tried to make peace and we learn from our experiences.

DAY 44 This photo was taken right outside my house about 4 years ago when it felt like my life was crumbling around me...My hair was standing on end and these words came flooding through me. I felt like I was on a mountain top calling out and commanding the words to ground! (ok, I admit I can be dramatic! LOL) when I got back inside, I quickly wrote them down. Reclaim YOUR right to live in Rapture!

DAY 43 Congruity - finding our 'golden mean' and staying true and consistent within ourselves and within our hearts, creates a state of grace. Congruity becomes our inner compass.

DAY 42 Equanimity - mental calmness and composure. This word invites us to notice what triggers us and then find the balance of letting go of our attachments and preferences to 'good or bad', 'right or wrong'. Not an easy task, yet a skill worth building...leading from the heart...
