Training Exercises for the Force Sensitive

A self-study puzzle book designed for Force sensitive beginners.

2

TRaining ManuAl for thE ForcE SensitivE From the Force Challenge Dossier Force-sensitive beings abound in the galaxy, yet many of them aren’t aware of their abilities with the Force. With a lack of Jedi to train them, you will have to become your own trainer and provide your own training.

Many Force abilities come from the mind. A strong, calm mind will help you therefore discover and develop these abilities. This Training Manual for the Force Sensitive is designed to help you to identify and hone any abilities you may possess. Take each page for what it’s worth and slowly solve each of the puzzles presented.

This booklet was created in the interest of education and more specifically, students of English, hence the emphasis of word based activities. That being said, this puzzle book is also free to be enjoyed by anyone who finds themselves fascinated by the zombie genre or word puzzles.

In its lighthearted spirit, none of its contents are to be taken too seriously except the emphasis on seeking knowledge and learning as lifelong form of entertainment and a source for selfimprovement. In the words of the great Jedi Master, Yoda: “In a

dark place we find ourselves… a little more knowledge lights our way.”

I hope that you enjoy this booklet, and for more English based activities feel free to visit EnglishCaddy.org
