Have you ever wished for a simple, uplifting prompt to help you set the tone for the day?

The Cultivating Compassion Deck is a motivational, actionable, and spiritual roadmap guiding you toward greater personal growth, compassion, peace of mind, and joy.

Part of being human is making mistakes and feeling stressed. We all mess up at one time or another; we all have moments of anxiety.

Rather than beating ourselves up with words of shame, blame, or fear, we have a choice to recognize that we are resilient and can do better next time.

Making that choice is a form of self-compassion.

This deck, based on a blend of Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucianist philosophy, helps you explore compassion meditation practices daily.

It encourages you to be brave, claim your quirks, and fully embrace who you are, even when you’re imperfect.

It invites you to say, “I want to be a better person, and I will work on that.” One breath at a time. One hour at a time. One conversation or task at a time.

This Cultivating Compassion deck has become my daily companion on my journey toward self-discovery and positivity. The combination of exquisite images and uplifting affirmations is pure magic. Every day, I draw a card, and it’s like the universe knows exactly what I need to hear. These cards have a unique way of setting a positive tone for my day and helping me stay focused on my path to inner peace and resilience. Thank you for creating this wonderful resource! Taylor M.

How to Use This Deck

Every morning, upon rising, pick up this deck and contemplate a theme for the day.

Take a moment for self-reflection, and then integrate the idea into your daily life.

✨ Learning to accept yourself in all circumstances is a skill that takes courage, practice, and diligence.

✨ Creating a consistent self-compassion practice is the BEST thing you can do for your emotional and mental health.

Thinking patterns CAN be rewired.

✨ Instead of worrying, complaining, gossiping, or rehashing what isn’t working, invest in yourself. Put in diligent hard work, and begin to find peace and joy from the moment you wake up to the second you fall asleep.

✨ Transform your life to create internal joy and peace, then extend it to others.

These affirmation cards and the book, Cultivating Compassion, have been game-changers for me. They’re like a ray of sunshine in my day. It’s incredible how each card resonates with my emotions and sets a positive tone. I find myself reaching for them every morning, and they’ve become an essential part of my daily routine. Rhonda R.

Integrate the Book With the Deck

What are the benefits of using the deck along with the book?

Each card has a number on it, and that number corresponds to one of the 66 days in the book. Flip to that day, and you’ll find:

  • ✨Additional context
  • ✨A self-reflection question
  • ✨Space to journal or jot some notes
  • ✨A suggestion for how to integrate the day’s inspiration or affirmation into everyday life

The cards are perfect on their own. The book is insightful on its own.

Together they create an even more powerful resource for change and growth.

The book Cultivating Compassion provides clear insightful direction on how to develop new habits around opening the heart and releasing negative beliefs. This is a wonderful resource for those who want the simple and doable tools for a more grounded and open-hearted lifestyle. A gem of a book and an effective and uplifting way to start each morning.

Origin of the Deck

Since childhood, I’ve been intrigued by personal growth and spirituality. In my twenties, I found a Taoist meditation path taught by Leong Tan. It was a perfect fit for me, blending a quiet mind, insightful instruction, and qigong.
In 2011 I started facilitating meditation classes at Google, teaching what I’d learned from Leong. I also wanted to broaden my knowledge to become a better teacher. In 2013 I completed the Compassion Cultivation Training teacher certification program at Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.
Ultimately I blended aspects of Compassion Cultivation Training with my longtime Taoist practice, along with some other skills I’ve picked up along the way. In 2016 I put together insights, concepts, self-reflection questions, and suggestions for how to roll these ideas into daily life and published the book Cultivating Compassion. From that book comes this deck. I hope it inspires you to step into your best self and ignite your joy-filled potential.

I’m blown away by the depth and wisdom in Cultivating Compassion and the accompanying affirmation cards. They complement each other perfectly. The book provides the knowledge and context I need to understand, reflect on, and integrate the power of self-compassion and the cards serve as a daily reminder to practice it. The images are not only beautiful but also soothing, and the affirmations truly uplift my spirits. What an amazing combination! Jamie L.
