“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift”. Albert Einstein Carl Rogers (1962) the eminent social psychologist and Shoemaker (1971) have identified five characteristics of innovations.

• Scientific status of the innovation developed.
• Value loading or acceptance as per social and cultural values.

He gives the following as the programme to remove perceptual and conceptual blocks to creativity and programming the mind to perceive and develop ideas into innovations. It includes being aware of the blocks to creative thinking and eliminating them- perceptual blocks, emotional blocks, cultural blocks, environmental blocks and intellectual blocks. Breaking the blocks- creative thinking is to be done when the body temperature is at its peak. Visualizing creative ideas is to be done in relaxed conditions. The problem at hand is to be thought of in different ways to find solution, trying to solve it visually, verbally and mathematically. Creative control system: sitting comfortable, breathing in deep, relaxing the muscles the review of all the facts relating to the problem to be solved could be thought of. The control system works best when practiced before going to sleep at
