This is a nice deck. I am a little confused by the scratch-off theme, but the cards are usable after scratching off the coating. I think it is to show that you can start anywhere with mindfulness. I don't necessarily think it is a negative thing, it is just different. The box is a very sturdy and durable cardboard with a magnetic closure. This makes having the deck on a desktop or shelf practical for easy access. The cards are good quality stock and have a matte finish, making them a bit difficult to separate from one another. I like that the intention is to use one card a week, as it encourages the user to seek out the experience suggested over multiple days rather than just once and then something new the next day. That is typically how I use mindfulness cards, but it is not evident to everyone to do so. The suggestions are significant, yet easy enough to accomplish for most people. I believe that using these in conjunction with journaling will be helpful to most. I am happy to have these and also happy to recommend them.
