That\u0026#039;s why we made the original Growing Mindful deck before there were really any other deck like it on the market -- to help you spark your practice with how handy and accessible these cards are to use and share with others. We\u0026#039;re heard it said that mindfulness is neither hard nor easy, but it\u0026#039;s remembering to be mindful that\u0026#039;s hard!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think of mindfulness as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwarenessOf present moment experienceWith kindness and curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese three piece together are the main ingredients. We can practice these together or each individually, which is how these cards work. Some cards teach awareness, others help us make present moment contact still others cultivate kindness and curiosity, and many bring these elements together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this second edition, you will find more attention on how to apply mindfulness practices in daily life, as well as find new practices to enhance your ability to take mindful action in a world that increasingly needs each of us to pitch in and bring increased awareness and compassion to our own and everyone\u0026#039;s lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Growing Mindful you can practice with the cards alone, or share them with others. Perhaps drawing a card as a morning check-in for yourself, perhaps as a settling practice between transitions in your classroom, at the start of a therapy session or end of a yoga class, or in a moment of pause before a meal, bedtime or another time of the day. How you use the deck is entirely up to you!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are playing with kids, it can be fun to ask them to do the practices for up to a minute as a group, while one child or adult acts as “Dr. Distracto” trying to pull their attention away from the present moment. Whether in classrooms or living rooms, kids and adults can use the deck to develop their mindfulness skills together, deepening awareness and connecting. A few cards require a prop such as a bell, a music player, or a bite of food, and some need a little room for movement or space. If you don’t have those things handy, or if some practices aren’t right for you, feel free to set those cards aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThank you and may we all grow more mindful!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAuthor the Author: Christopher Willard, PsyD\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher Willard, PsyD, is an expert on mindfulness with young people, having trained thousands of professionals and young people on the practice and benefits of mindfulness.
