Notes from the Universe

These cards are loving reminders that “Thoughts Become Things” and we can choose the thoughts we want to realize, every day. Sometimes it's easy to forget that we are the creators of our lives… so let these cards be a reminder that every day is a gift, every day you are changing the world, and every day you are creating your life through your thoughts, words, and actions.

The 60 cards in this deck, set off by photographs of nature’s own gorgeous and richly varied abundance, are designed to remind you that:

There is no better time than right now to start living your dreams.
Your thoughts become things—anything you want to create you are capable of creating.
What you think about will come about, so think BIG, beautiful, empowering thoughts.
All your heart desires—love, joy, peace, abundance—is within reach. You simply have to reach.
You could not be more loved, more powerful, or more deserving of all that your heart desires.

How to spread random acts of love and kindness:

Start with self-love: Pick a new one for yourself each day and carry it with you wherever you go.
Leave them for loved-ones to find (in a desk, in a purse or backpack, on the refrigerator, in a lunch-box).
Send them in the mail to your friends who live far away.
Leave them on the windshields of people’s cars—when was the last time you found something good stuck to the window of your car?
Read a new one at the start of any class you teach (yoga, meditation, even high school).
Pass them out to your students (or let them pick the one that’s right for them).

Launched in 1998 as an e-mail sent out weekly to 38 addresses, Mike’s “Notes from the Universe” has blossomed into a daily mailing to over 700,000 subscribers in 185 countries. The Notes have long been available in hardback books, calendars, stickers, coffee mugs, T-shirts, but not until now have they been collected based on a theme (abundance!) and brought to life in a deck of 60 gorgeous, inspiring cards!
