What Puzzles Have Taught Me

 

I have been doing puzzles since I was a kid. I love all kinds of puzzles: number puzzles, word puzzles, jigsaw puzzles. And, the work I do as a Behavioral Kinesiologist involves discovering and solving challenging patterns in the brain - much like puzzle pieces  - that are holding someone back from moving forward  on their path.

I find word puzzles, where I have to take a jumble of letters to form a word, the most challenging. Often, I keep putting the same letters together expecting to get the right word! Huh. I have learned to simply walk away for a few minutes or longer and voila,I see the word almost instantly.

Isn't this a wonderful and simple way to solve problems that life throws at us? Step away, clear the mind and return with a new perspective.

Need a Boost?

Boost Essence is the name of a fairly recent Australian Bush Flower essence combination that Ian White has created. It's the one to grab when you feel out of sorts, overwhelmed, overly sensitive to people, energy and change. And, you want to feel calm and balanced, grounded, courageous and resilient.

The individual flower essences in this combination are quite powerful on their own. Together, they offer a great sense of relief when life pulls the rug out from underneath you.

 

Individual flower essences in Boost:

Bottlebrush for letting go;

Bush Iris for clearing blocks around trust;

Crowea for releasing worry and finding balance;

Dog Rose for confidence and Courage;

Fringed Violet for energetic protection;

Illawara Flame Tree for confidence and self-reliance;

Sturt Desert Pea for healthy grieving;

Sundew for grounding and staying in the present.
