The Essential Meditations Deck -- 50 Exercises to Focus the Mind -- In our hectic world, we often forget to take even a few minutes of quiet, contemplative time for ourselves each day. Let the Essential Meditations Deck be your reminder. This portable deck provides an enjoyable entree to the practice of meditation - helping you focus, reflect, and find balance.

Meditation — deep, quiet reflection — has been practiced for centuries to find balance in life. In today’s stressful world, it can serve as an essential tool for establishing a sense of inner peace. But many people are intimidated by the idea of meditation. There’s no need; it actually can be quite a simple practice that can be incorporated into your life in a variety of ways.

Each of the fifty cards in The Essential Meditations Deck has an inspirational image on one side and a guided meditation on the other. Most of the images have been selected to create visualization triggers or a point of focus on which to meditate. Try out all the exercises in your own time. While some exercises will speak to you more than others, also try those meditations that don’t immediately appeal—sometimes these reveal the most about our inner nature.

With the Essential Meditations Deck app you can:
- Practice 50 exercises to focus the mind
- Swipe between exercises or shuffle them
- Flip cards over to read the corresponding guided meditation
- E-mail exercises to friends
