Great creators understand that, like a garden, imagination is cultivated.

That the ground must be prepared, and seeds must be planted and nourished for our imaginations to flourish.

With the right seeds, careful preparation, and effective tools, the gardens of our mind will be filled with the fruits and flowers of imagination and great ideas - gifts that will resolve our problems, ignite our passions, and fill our lives with purpose, meaning, and deep-rooted feelings of happiness and well-being.

        Instructions

1. Before beginning each puzzle, take a moment to glance at the word-list, scroll down to read entire word-list.

2. Scan quickly over the puzzle box, about 3 seconds.

3. Once more go over the word-list, silently repeating each word combinations.

4. Choose which words or up to three word-line to hunt for. Your subconscious has already solved the puzzle, allow the words to ‘appear’ to you deliberately, and bring your mouse to the beginning or ending of the word-line, click & hold until you highlight the entire word-line.

As you practice this technique with the puzzle words (each word-line is considered a ‘word’), you’ll find it easier to access your subconscious information. Use visualization techniques to add potency and power to each game.  Picture in your minds’ eye, within the confines of your imagination or find it’s equivalents in your immediate environment for each word or concept.  You will find this enhances your success in solving the puzzles and allows effortless shifts to new openness, perceptions and views of your personal reality.

5. Of course you may play the puzzle the old fashioned way and seek out each word-line and highlight with your mouse.

Once you highlight the words, it will automatically be crossed off the word list on your right.

If you prefer no Sound Effects, at the bottom right of the puzzle-box is an icon to Mute.

The Eye of the Storm exercise is a way of focusing and relaxing yourself when life becomes overwhelming. We do not always have control of the circumstances or situations that occur throughout a day but you Can control how you feel & cope & react. It takes seconds up to 3 minutes and the benefits of being centered, calm, in control and sense of well being will remain long after you finish.

Read the exercise, then stand up and practice it.

While standing imagine with all and every sense you can (visualize, smell, taste, feel, hear) being in a storm, such as a hurricane or tornado

Within the swirling storm is debris, perhaps elements of your life, issues with loved one, kids demanding your time, challenges in your work place...simply imagine these things/situations in the storm and you are moving, dodging, ducking from being hit by all these things coming at you.

Use your senses; remember the acrid smell of rain?

You can feel the wind whipping, pushing

You can hear the roar of the wind, perhaps pounding of rain

You can see items tossed around flying through the air

Now, take two steps forward into the 'eye' of the storm where it is calm and still

The sky directly above is blue & clear

Observe the strom now swirling in all directions around you

Become aware that you are safe here, in the eye of the storm

Take a few deep breathes while relaxing your jaw, drop your shoulders and relax your belly

Be mindful of keeping your shoulders relaxed

Now, bring your attention back to the storm all aorund you

Imagine the storm moving away from you in all directions

Notice how the blue sky above expands and you experience the warmth of the sun

Allow the storm to move further and further away from you and dissolve, disapate, disappearing until you are now surrounded by a beautiful still, bright clear day.

Continue your day.

The subconscious mind responds to pictures, images & symbols.

By praciticing this exercise you are re-setting and instructing your success mechanism, your subconscious, to release overwhelming responses to whatever is occurring in your life, and it understands that even though these things still exist in your life, you can control, pick and choose in a deliberate, mindful manner what you will focus on.

I call the subconscious your success mechanism because it allows you to perform effortlessly throughout your day. Example: You do not need to 'remember' how to drive your car when you need to go somewhere, you simply place your key in the ignition and go. Easily previously learned task, habits...such as brushing your teeth are accomplished without thought...you do not have to remember which hand brushes your teeth, you simply grab the tooth paste and effortlessly perform the task at hand.

When you practice an exercise such as desribed above, or others presented here, you are programming or reprogramming how you respond... a lot of the time we react intead of acting, consciously to a situation, challenge, problem or circumstance. When you are calm & mindful, you are always in control, no matter what.

It is not difficult to become overwhelmed during any time of the years, but add the holidays with all the additional tasks begging for your attentions. You may not be able to control your enironment always, but you Can control how you feel & deal with all the demands on your time, energies and life. Your breath is one of the most potent tools at your disposal; Take this moment to follow along with this very easy exercise:

Relax your jaw

Now raise your shoulders and drop them down

Relax your belly

Now, inhale through your nose while making sure your shoulders remain relaxed

Hold that breath for a second or two

Now, exhale very slowly, deliberately, intentionally, thinking of nothing but what you are doing.

Repeat this 3-5 times, simply being mindful of your breathing & relaxation of your jaw, shoulders & belly.

You will find that you feel instantly centered, serene yet energized with a refreshed, clear mind.

Now you are able to calmly focus and organize your day for optimal results.

This is a great exercise to practice any time of the day or night, before entering stressful situations, before initiating a project to clear and powerfully focus your mind, intentions and creative abilities to be your very best & feel your very best... Your power is within you at all times, simply remember to breathe in a mindful manner and delight on how easy and smoothly life becomes.

Ever wonder what a Calling is? What do people mean when they talk about 'living an authentic life'?

This Spring of 2012 look for "Your Callings". This series of puzzles will walk you through exactly what a calling is, and all entailed in responding or not responding to a call.

A Calling can be a deep desire to do something, such as becoming a nurse, a dancer, traveling the world. Many times responding to a Calling is challenging to the depths of your being, challenging everything you believed possible from you and about life.

Not responding to a Calling can be just as problematic. Such as my own story of refusing for near 12 years to not respond to a Call. I was in complete denial, even though I recieved messages, signs and hard lessons. My life became a series of disillusionments, pain and loss. It was only until I was willing to accept this Calling that my personal & business life got back on track.

I shall share my story here with the release of the newest edition of Words that Empower, and of course you as a member of this online version of the books & interactive CD's will have priority and have complete access to these provocative, educational and entertaining puzzles. Til then, Warmest regards, Kate
