Excellent opportunity to intensify work with clients!
Contemplation Cards provides an excellent opportunity to intensify work with clients, at the individual and team, as well as organizational levels. The cards offer possibilities to address a variety of topics. „Contemplation“ cards enable to communicate in a metaphor language. The work with the cards can be combined with different creative exercise (e.g. writing, drawing, collage). The cards can be combined!
The cards were inspired by nature, which is unique, hugely diverse, full of shades and colors – just like the stories we carry within us!
Pictures and images tell us more than ideas put into words, because for communicating in the visual language and understanding it, people already have developmental benefits. While looking at the pictures, we can quickly contact our emotions. An image may contain a huge amount of elements that speak to people in different ways.
Based on my own experience I can say that metaphor cards can be used in every session and with every topic! There are no limits to using the cards – this method fits into every job!

Some possible topics:
- finding and becoming aware of resources;

With the help of the cards, it is possible to talk about life values and act out possible future situations. The face of the man on the pictures has not been drawn out. This is a source of additional information as the user can imagine and describe the look on the face according to personal associations. Cards can be picked blind or also chosen deliberately. In both cases, the man recognizes himself on the card and his own story evolves from that.

Man belongs to different systems, be it family, community, team, organisation or the society as a whole. All members are connected to each other whether they love or hate each other.
Different images of landscapes, weather and seasons tell their own story – all of them have a meaning for an individual as a key to the inner and outer world of a human. Can a team or family see itself as a rainforest, a flower garden or a volcanic area?
The landscape pictures include different animal silhouettes which can additionally be used in system work by marking mutual relations and locations on the system landscape. Animals are drawn in a mirroring position, which gives an even better opportunity to characterize relationships.

The strongest impulses in the formation of the inner world, which in their turn influence our mental life and activities in our
further life, date back to early childhood. Children’s stories are different. There are stories which include hostility and
difficulties, due to which children see the surrounding world differently in comparison with those children, who perceive
positive experience form the outer world. Adults’ and child’s mental life can be understood if life events are observed as one
entity.
The child’s journey and mental life is formed on the basis of events experienced in the outer world.
Card set is suitable for use in psychological counselling, therapy processes, supervision, coaching, in educational
establishments, etc., for individual and group work with children, adolescents and adults.

Your journey will develop into your story!
The life paths of all of us are unique and one of a kind. Initially, we are given help in finding the correct path and following that, the creation of the journey is trusted upon us – each of us becomes responsible for building their own life’s stories.
Sometimes we travel our life’s road alone, but sometimes we have companions. Our paths cross with those of different people and events that imprint our terrains. Occasionally we visualise our future to see what we are striving towards. Sometimes we know what we need to reach our aims but there are instances when we require help and support. We are destined to travel and grow. On our journey we are accompanied by our values and beliefs that guide our daily decisions and choices, model our behaviour and determine our course.
“Contemplation journey and system cards” assist in understanding the different stages and processes in the life of a person. The cards enable to analyse the past, the present and visualise the future – observe your childhood, education, career, life changes, relationship patterns, future plans etc. – all in all, all aspects of life. It is your story and only you can live it! It is your journey and only you can follow it through!
