Review:
Carolyn Kanjuro’s extraordinary talent, creativity and ability to drill down the complicated into clear headed joy and love is evident in this beautifully illustrated deck of mediation moments. One may think this is for children. Perhaps it is, and serves little ones well, but insight, mindfulness, transformation and calm is available to those of any age through these remarkable cards. I am a teacher of teenaged students who have suffered trauma. I wholeheartedly recommend, The Monkey Mind Mediation Deck which has been a valuable tool in my classroom. – Roseanna.
