ALLOWING PRAYERS

57 invitations to spark a conversation with your soul

Connect with your soul. Know yourself better.

If you arrived at midlife (or anytime in life) hardly knowing yourself at all, you’re not alone. And, I’m not surprised.

That’s what years, even decades, of social conditioning will do to you.

Tell me, do any of these sound familiar?

  • You spend most of your days anticipating and meeting the wants and needs of others

  • You have little recollection of the details of your life because you have become numb to yourself and how you move through your days

  • You feel like you know those closest to you better than you know yourself

  • You want something different but aren’t sure what that is

  • You feel stuck but struggle to make a decision that could move you forward

Perhaps you’ve even gone down the path to “find yourself,” reading self-help books and taking various personality tests.

Maybe they were helpful to a point, but you’re still struggling with feelings of emptiness, discontent, frustration, loneliness, and dissatisfaction.

Why is that?

Because you aren’t connecting with the part of you that knows you best—your soul. 

You don’t need to find yourself. You need to remember yourself—your true self.

When you take the time to connect with and listen to the wisdom of your soul, the life you’re living on the outside begins to reflect the truth of who you are on the inside.

The challenge is that you have been conditioned to disregard the voice of your inner authority in favor of external authorities (anyone other than you).

That’s why I created the Allowing Prayers card deck.

Each card offers a welcoming and gentle invitation for connection and reflection, creating the space you need to:

  • connect with your soul and hear your inner wisdom

  • recognize where in your life you may be neglecting yourself, your wants, and your needs

  • acknowledge what is present in your life, mind, and heart and to allow that experience in the moment

  • open a path of insight into the experience your true self desires

By engaging with the cards and their invitations, you free yourself from limiting beliefs and false stories and open yourself to new possibilities that help you live a more authentic life. A life that reflects you.

More than self-care, the Allowing Prayers card deck is soul care.

Using the Cards

Any time is a good time to pull an Allowing Prayers card. You can use these cards in whatever way feels good to you. 

Here are some suggestions to get you started:

• As part of a morning ritual to set an intention for the day

• To kickstart or reinvigorate a journaling practice 

• When you’re feeling stuck or confused and need some clarity

• To bring you back to the present moment when you’re running on autopilot

• When you need some inspiration

  • "I love the Allowing Prayers card deck. I find myself coming back to it again and again. I love the surprise of pulling a card and thinking, "This isn't what I needed," then pausing and realizing it is exactly what I needed to ponder."

    — Marni S.

  • "I had a really bad (I mean really bad) day/news on Sunday. I turned to your cards. I pulled out four. Holy F*ing Sh*t. They gave me peace and calmness and—most importantly—Perspective (yep, with a cap P). And sure enough, the clouds parted and I slept like a rock that night."

    — Sheree C.

  • “I ordered the Allowing Prayers card deck for all my staff as Christmas gifts, and I'm so happy I did! Not only was Siobhan such a delight to deal with (she made it easy to send these gifts all over the world), but the cards are so utterly beautiful. My staff have all gushed over them and told me that the conversation prompts have had a deep impact on them.”

    — Holly H.

  • "I wanted to share with you how much I enjoy your card deck. I’ve thought this many times, but I am reaching out now because I am particularly struck by how perfect today’s message is! This week has been terribly hard. I’m focusing on self-care and introspection this weekend and just pulled a card to close out a journaling session. I cried when I read it because it’s just exactly what I needed to see."

    — Carrie B.

  • "These cards encourage you to take care of yourself, not someone else.”
