A card set to help you feel grounded and more present, by being mindful of the world around us
Many of us struggle to feel ‘present’ – that is, fully in tune with our surroundings. We remain locked inside our own heads, so distracted by stress and anxiety that we fail to take notice of – and pleasure in – the world outside.
What we need are some lessons in the forgotten art of noticing. This card set contains a collection of small yet remarkable things to watch out for as we go about our day, with exercises for how to make the most of their wisdom - such as making a note of lost things, or actively listening to birdsong. It encourages us to seek beauty in the everyday things we might otherwise overlook, reminding us how, in even the most mundane of settings, there is much to interest, excite, distract and delight us.
By studying these cards and following their suggestions, we stand to rediscover presence and serenity.
