The Heart:
The place within us from which we
can make choices which are based only upon our highest good, independent of
the ideals, actions, or opinions of others which can influence and limit
such heart choices . Through practice, listening to our own trusty inner guidance
system becomes easy and ultimately leads us to expressing our own very
unique creativity.
Imagination:
Combing our intellect with our many
human senses to create multi-dimensional scenes on the canvas of our minds.
Constructive imagination is a powerful tool that, through practice, expands
us as individuals into expressing our own creative genius. Creative use of the
Imagination is the secret of all true human success. When combined with the
power of knowing our highest choices as given to us through our heart center,
we truly take the steps necessary to create a life of happiness and bliss, for
ourselves and eventually for the entire planet.
The movers and shakers of tomorrow
are the children of today. Children possess the ability to quickly learn to
access their hearts and they possess a tremendous enthusiasm for using their
imaginations. Not only can we guide children to use their imaginations to play
and have fun, we can just as easily guide them to use their imaginations to
create their hearts’ deepest desires.
Paradigm:
an example: a model.
Paradigm Shift: occurs when
an individual creates a new
model for a given idea.
An example : the discovery that
the earth is round created a paradigm shift. There was created a new model for
the shape of the earth and the nature of gravity, and the universe.
- One outcome of this book for
all readers , children and adults, is to make a paradigm shift, into
a new understanding of the importance of not only listening to our hearts,
but putting our energy, focus and imaginations into making our hearts’ desires
into reality.
- Another outcome of this book
is a paradigm shift into a reality that says " Having or achieving
my hearts desires is easy and fun".
- Another outcome of the book
is to sharpen our powers of making multi-dimensional scenes with our imaginations.
THE
BOOK:
Read the book out loud. Be creative
with your voice. Be a coach. Have fun.
Have plenty of drawing materials and paper
ready for exercises.
Take your time this book can be presented
in segments; 2-3 days or all in one day.
Time is based upon each individual.
During the exercises ask that the children
share with each other only after each exercise
is fully complete and only if they choose to share. This book is designed
to access each child’s individual heart-mind. therefore, by making the exercises
individual projects, they are free from intellectual, commercial, and societal
influences when discovering choices that are most important in their own
personal lives now.
Exercise
#1:
Clears the way for the heart to
express its deepest desires! We give children ten spaces to draw and write in.
The exercise is most effective when done quickly and when children have a complete
idea (either a drawing or writing or both) in all 10 of the spaces provided.
Be sure and emphasize the difference between a heart wish and a Christmas/ birthday/stomach
wish. Do you know the difference?
A heart wish is a
desire that once realized, brings only outcomes that are win/win for all individuals
and brings lasting success and satisfaction through HAPPINESS + LOVE + JOY!
A heart wish is also very specific; who, where, when and what
does it involve? It is real, first person and personal, and can be imagined
here and now.
An example: Bobby wishes from his
heart to have a baseball glove. When he looks deeper into his wish, he finds
that the baseball glove is for playing and spending time with his dad. His heart
wish is to play and spend time with his dad.
( Remember that all heart wishes
are free from "should's, musts, have to’s, got to’s, ought to’s and thou
shalts". They are spontaneous and sometimes are the opposite of what we
think we SHOULD do.)
Exercise #2:
Now we are down
to 4 heart spaces and the children have learned a TRICK: The
Heart Phone!
If they choose they can use their
new trick to complete this exercise. Coach them in using their heart phones
and get them talking with their hearts. The 4 heart spaces are the 4 most important
wishes from exercise#1. If the child has realized a more important heart wish
after completing exercise #1 by all means inform them that it can be used in
this exercise.
Give them plenty of time to do
the exercises. Emphasize being creative with colors, pictures and descriptions.
Once again, this is an individual project where all creative input comes exclusively
from the child (another possible "Paradigm Shift"). Remember also,
they can use their heart phones over and over.
Note:
If the children do choose to pick
up the Heart Phone and talk to their hearts, encourage them to do so silently,
even with closed eyes.
Exercise #3:
We have arrived at the most important
heart wish in the moment! Give the children lots of time and encouragement to
draw and write descriptively and spontaneously. These pages are for fun and
self-discovery relating only to their single most important heart wish. Remind
the children to use their Heart Phone trick.
Because some children may have tapped
into their true, deep heart desires, what they have discovered at this point
may be very sensitive, in fact this is one of the goals! A newly discovered
heart desire is like a new born baby and a great deal of safety is required
when sharing a newly born heart desire. There
is no reason a child must share what they have created or discovered in exercise
#3.
Exercise #4:
The outcome exercise! In this exercise
the goal is to take the Heart Wish from exercise #3 and to apply an imagination
technique called "Outcome Imagination".
Outcome
Imagination:
To imagine from the
outcome of a goal or wish as if the goal or wish has already become manifest
Now. In outcome imagination you place yourself in a ‘imaginal’ state
that fully embodies your wish already fulfilled. Once this state is achieved
there is a body chemistry change that occurs and an individual will take a deep
breath and relax. It is in this relaxed state that creativity is heightened.
The subconscious mind to begins create the scene which is held in an individual’s
conscious attention.
Outcome imagination is most effective
when you use all of your senses and when you elaborate in great detail about
how life is different now that your wish is already fulfilled.
Note these differences because they are anchors to the new reality which is
becoming manifest.
" Imagination is greater than
knowledge"-Albert Einstein-
One more important point when using
imagination to create a goal: do not worry about HOW to achieve
the goal, simply leap right past all reasoning and logic straight into the outcome,
and remain in the outcome until it becomes tangible and real in your imagination.
In exercise #4 be sure to explain
to children the difference in imaging about their heart wish and
imaging FROM their heart wish already fulfilled. In this exercise
they are imagining their wish has already been fulfilled, fully and completely.
Let them know they can repeat this exercise as many times as they wish. The
more vivid and real they make it for themselves the quicker manifestation occurs.
Talk the children through it. Ask them to close their eyes, relax and begin
to imagine that the scene they have described is already happened. Have them
write and draw what they experience in the outcome state. Ask them questions
that activate their imagination. "What do you see?" "Who are you with?" "What
do you smell?"
Yippii! You have reached the end
of the beginning. The final pages just remind the children that their heart
is also a powerful tool for solving any emotional situation. The heart has the
answers to our deepest questions. In fact, when children begin to pick up their
"Heart Phones" and ask their hearts for answers, they will soon become
their own pillars of strength and courage.
Remember to make this book fun
and easy, because it is.
Exploring our heart is fun, especially
when we are guided and encouraged by
the loving coaches that we all are.
Be interactive, be imaginative,
be children, be fun.
