Shined Mind: A Mindfulness Card Game for Anxiety Relief, Coping Skills, Emotional Regulation & Calm – Great for Teens, Adults, Therapists, Teachers

Good buy. Nice game to play. Highly recommend

Such a great deck of cards for reviewing mindfulness practices and when to use them. The cards are a bit wordy so work best for older teens with moderate to strong reading skills. Can be played in teams to reduce reading fatigue and increase collaborative and creative thinking.

The scenario cards present realistic emotional issues. The technique cards contain easy to understand approaches to coping with and mastering the situations. I am a retired educator and still volunteer every week in my local elementary school. This game is for late teens and adults but I've been able to adapt some of the ideas for younger children. I have found it useful in my own life and shared it with my son who also found it helpful.

This game is a great activity for teens who need relief but don’t have the tools or the words. Great for parents to learn about how to become really mindful too!

This was a total flop in the teen group I facilitate each week. It was way too long to read each card. Clients with ADHD lost focus fast. Didn't even complete one round as they were hating it. Was easier to have a discussion on coping skills and asking them to think of their own scenario vs reading lengthy explanations and scenarios. 0 out of 10 from my teens. Which darn, we were looking for a fun therapeutic game to play.

As a game, this deck falls short. It's not very fun, and it's quick to lose people's interest; however, it's lovely to read through.

Expected something diferent for the prize

The cards themselves are well made, clearly written. This is not a typical game, but more to openly discuss important topics and emotions and how to effectively work through situations. Wonderful product in alignment with positive, encouraging energy!
