Jose ATID LEIIA STEVENS^179- Head people are great at recalling the details of a vision or
journey. They may need assistance however in recalling
the feelings of nuances of the journey elements that could
make all the differences in its meaning. They do have these
feelings, they just tend to deemphasize them out of habit. - Head people become more balanced by doing physical ex-
ercise, taking action (gut), listening to music, and singing
(heart). On the other hand, they are unhappy if they are
deprived of reading, writing, or engaging in philosophical
discussions.
HEART PEOPLE
Heart people have emphasized the heart and lung region
of their bodies. For them, these are the centers of trade and
commerce, the head and lower body being relegated to the
backwaters. For them, feelings, emotions, and inspiration
are the legal tender and primary focus of attention.
Heart people are incredibly perceptive and tend to be
rapid in their assessment of a situation or problem. They do
not process verbally, but through direct perception. They can
walk into a room and immediately know that something is
wrong or misaligned. They know immediately whom they
can trust and whom they should avoid. However, they are
hard pressed to tell you why they feel that way. Their way of
knowing is broad-brushed and less incisive and specific than
the head person's style.
Heart people do not process linearly but more in a matrix
style that defies analysis or definition. They move rapidly
into the future, past, or present, interweaving all of them to
come to their final conclusions. They tend to drive head peo-
ple crazy with their "harebrained" methods and their un-
canny ability to be accurate much of the time.
Note that heart people are quite accurate in assessing a
situation when they are not overly identified with it or at-
tached to its outcome. Emotional perception is not the same
thing as being attached. A head person can be attached to
their ideas, an action person may be attached to their activi-
ties, and a heart person can be attached to their feelings.
Heart people tend to use the head city as a backwater,
referred to only when an analysis of a feeling is needed.
Therefore, heart people tend to think and talk about their
feelings even when they are not actually experiencing them.
For heart people, the gut city serves only to act out feelings
as in dramatics, dancing, or compulsive buying.
