The Monkey Mind Meditation Deck: 30 Fun Ways for Kids to Chill Out, Tune In, and Open Up

For awhile now, I've been searching for a tangible tool to help me teach meditation to my son. I wanted something visual and easy to access. I am so happy and grateful to have found these!The artwork is soothing, beautiful and really draws my attention. I haven't shown my son yet as it's a birthday gift, but I am sure he will love these at least as much as I do! He loves animals and nature. The inclusion of pictures of children make them friendly and relatable. I almost got him another set but it included themes of fairies. Since I have no practical way of explaining such concepts to my son I am grateful that this set focused on real things only.The instructions and suggestions are great for guiding the child to shift their focus. I love the variety of themes, from general relaxation to observing anger, so much ground is covered. The creativity and symbolism is so rich.Some of the meditations also include movement which is another great aspect. This make it more fun for both kids and adults.I also really love the value for the price. You get 30 double sided cards, so you can do something different each day of the month (except some months by one day).Overall I am so impressed. I wish I had a tool like this when I was his age! Imagine if schools across the world incorporate cards like this to help create emotionally intelligent children.To sum it all up...I truly am excited to present these to my child! I know we will enjoy countless hours of learning and bonding with these cards.Thank you to the creators of The Monkey Mind. As a parent, it's a gift to me, too!

These are wonderful! The cards are well made with beautiful pictures. They are larger than expected. They vary in mindfulness practice to help kids (and adults) resolve their anger, social anxiety, ans even low self confidence. There are practices to support sadness, sleep, and how to be a good friend. Most of the practices can be done for kids ages 5+ but my 3 year old grasps about 5-6 cards are avery very helpful. He loves them too!

Wonderful meditation deck! I use these cards with both of my children and they are great. I have been practicing yoga for many years, but the typical yoga meditations are not always as interesting to kids. I love how these cards have great sensory cues for kids, and the deck includes some meditations which require stillness and others which instruct the user to move in different ways. Each meditation only take a few minutes so I usually do a few with my kids when they need to calm down/focus. The artwork is beautiful as well!

Just got these in today! They are sturdy and very vibrant cards. I glanced through each card and am very excited to incorporate these into my kids’ lives!

Each exercise offers clear guidance on how to empower our children to work with the swirl of emotions that everyone wrestles with. Truly helpful techniques that forge resiliency and provide an immediate sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.Three of my favorite cards:Golden Sun- I was surprised at how quickly this breathing technique and my big smile easily filled my heart with happiness.Hurricane- I discovered a deep feeling of calmness, very refreshing!Stormy Sea- I purposely choose this card to loosen the grip of anger that I was feeling at the time.A definite two thumbs up for this card deck!

What a wonderful meditation tool for kids! The cards are oversized and colorful, very rich and engaging visually. The suggested practices on the backs are straightforward and clear—evocative in a way that will get young ones’ imagination going, and also practical and personalizable. And thanks to the range of practices offered, there are tools to help kids work with all sorts of states of mind. Folks in our meditation group often ask how to help their kids meditate. This is a resource I plan to share widely.

Easy for my 7yo daughter to understand. I'll be keeping this set around to use with my grandchildren one day.

I was looking for a helpful Christmas gift for my 5 and a half year old nephew, who is on the spectrum. We try to incorporate the relaxing, mindful constructive cards during cuddle time, which has been helping I think. What's better than cuddle time?

I am an elementary teacher and my students love to choose a card and lead our class through a meditation.

Questo set di carte è delizioso; contiene esercizi molto interessanti, a mio avviso utilizzabili indipendentemente dall'età. Dispiace sapere che l'autrice sia venuta a mancare poco dopo l'uscita dell'opera: chissà quante altre straordinarie pubblicazioni ci avrebbe riservato.

I wanted a fixation point to start off with my meditation and these cards work really well.They may be targeted to children, but using them I realized that the things that trouble the adults and the reactions they incite are not much different from those for children and an these cards provide an easy approach to reach out your inner self.

Our son loves these colourful cards, when he can drag himself away from the screen. Hopefully this beginner’s Meditation Deck will help his “monkey mind” pause, relax occasionally. A wonderful idea. Recommended.

I really like this little pack, it helps get my kids doing short meditations.
