Life Compass Cards

Description

Life is the ultimate journey…

…as we move through our life, we find ourselves often venturing into unknown territory, at times coming across both serious hazards and rewarding treasures. And in much the same way that a compass is an essential tool in navigating through unknown territory in the physical world, Life Compass Cards provide us with an essential tool in navigating across the many peaks and valleys of our own life. They combine the theory and practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) with the practice and principles of mindfulness to bring us a powerful evidence-based approach and set of tools to develop both deep self-connection and mutually empowering and connecting relationships with our fellow life travelers.
Happy journeying!

Contents

This Life Compass Cards set consists of two decks of cards, a Feelings Deck, Needs Deck, an instruction booklet, a cloth bag for each deck, and a larger cloth bag to hold the entire set.

The Feelings Deck contains 58 of the most common feelings and emotions. Feelings and Emotions are terms we use to describe states of mind that consist of both bodily sensations (feelings) and impulses to act in some way (emotions). They act as a compass, pointing us towards our needs and values. We experience unpleasant feelings and emotions when our needs are not met or we are not living in line with our values. And we experience pleasant feelings and emotions when our needs are met or we are living in line with our values.

The Needs Deck contains 58 of the most common needs and values. Needs and Values are terms we use to describe qualities that provide both nourishment for our wellbeing (our needs) and direction in creating a life that works for us (our values). By using the guidance and energy provided by our feelings and emotions, we are able to connect more consciously with our needs and values, which in turn guide us in developing effective life strategies.

The instruction booklet offers an array of activities designed to support you in connecting more fully with yourself and others, and most of these activities can be done either alone or with others. They’re designed to help you make more peace with your emotional world, connect more fully with your needs and values, and ultimately move towards a life that is satisfying and rewarding for yourself and for those you care about. These instructions are only basic guidelines—once you develop a good understanding of this approach, feel free to modify these activities to suit your needs, or to create altogether new ones.
