Body ReMinder™ Playing Cards

Body ReMinder Playing Cards are tools to stimulate the exploration and integration of new feeling experiences in the body. There are three different decks of 48 cards each--the Sitting Deck, the Walking Deck, and the Driving Deck. Each deck includes cards that help in:
  1. Developing body awareness through experiential anatomy (sensing location, actions, possible natural movements of the bones, muscles, connective tissues, organs, etc. in ever finer detail.)
  2. Exploring and inviting positive, healthful feeling states (joy, lightness, freedom, ease, peace, etc.)
  3. Calming, energizing and harmonizing body feeling (sensation, energy, and emotion)
  4. Softening, reducing, and/or eliminating painful, uncomfortable, stuck, unbalanced movement patterns
  5. Building, increasing, and/or enhancing pleasurable, fluid, balanced movement patterns
  6. Moving and sensing in ways that help you feel re-connected with the life-giving, life-regulating force that surrounds and supports all living things
Sitting Deck

Sitting Deck

The Sitting Deck focuses on sensations and awarenesses that increase relaxation, pleasure and peacefulness while sitting. Whether at your desk, in meetings, on a train or plane, or by yourself in meditation, these light-hearted suggestions will guide you in staying present in your body no matter what else is going on.
Walking Deck

Walking Deck

The Walking Deck brings attention to your many moving parts and how they could feel while in the simple action of walking. Whether walking from bedroom to kitchen, out to the car, around the nieghborhood, or on a hike in the mountains...whether getting exercise, going somewhere with purpose, or just taking a stroll for the pleasure of it...walking is a wonderful opportunity to connect with more joy in being in your body.
Driving Deck

Driving Deck

The Driving Deck can be carried in your glove compartment so cards can be easily drawn before you set out on a long trip or at the start of your daily commute. Remember that while driving a car, the first responsibility is driving safely. These mind/body inquiries are only to help your driving experience become more enjoyable.
