I AM Meditation Card Deck
This deck includes forty-nine I AM affirmation statements, each designed to inspire, and take in the new and release the old.
I hope these cards awake a transformative process for you - even a small shift in the way you breathe is a great success!
In many traditions, 49 is considered an auspicious number. This deck can be used in various ways: pull a card at random and notice what arises, ask a question on a topic where you’re seeking guidance and tune inward for the answer, or follow the mediation guide that’s included to guide you in setting a clear intention for the day.
These I AM cards are an invitation to pause, listen and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within you.
