A curated collection of 55 short meditations from Zen priest Joan Halifax, packaged in a beautiful deck with Joan's art to help you tune in, cultivate compassion, and still the mind in just a moment's notice.

These short potent meditative practices and contemplations are the perfect elixir for today's hectic, turbulent world.

Collected in a practical card deck format, the 55 meditations allow you to tune in to your natural wisdom, even amid great difficulties. The cards are inspired by the elements-Earth/Grounding, Water/Living by Vow, Fire/Meeting the Boundless Heart, Air/Being with Dying, and Space/Coming Home to Wisdom. Draw a card each week for just over a year of guided practice, or shuffle the deck to draw a mini-meditation as needed. Meditations like "Anchoring the Mind," "Nourishing Courage," "Transforming Grief," and "Letting Go of Fear" help cultivate compassion, mindfulness, and calm, and will benefit both seasoned meditators and beginners alike.

The deck will be accompanied by a short accordion booklet, with introductory material from the author providing context and instructions for using the deck, and the cards are paired with stunning full-color calligraphy paintings by the author. The package is a cigar-style box with a magnetic closure.
