WHAT YOU GET + HOW IT WORKS
30 hand-drawn cards. Art on front, practice on back. Shuffle the deck each morning. Draw one. Look at the art for a minute. Flip it over, read the prompt, do the practice. Takes 2-5 minutes. Most happen during your day (ordering coffee, brushing teeth, walking home). A few require sitting still. One purchase. No subscription.
WHY DOES KOAN CARDS EXIST?
Meditation apps feet like corporate wellness bullshit. Books taught me theory but no bridge to daily life. Just sitting felt too large and intangible. That’s why I made KOAN CARDS. 30 unique practices and quotes drawn from Buddhist, Zen, and Advaita traditions, for people with jobs and responsibilities. All of the practices teach you to notice the gap between awareness and thought. That gap is where presence lives.
