Jose ATID LEIIA STEVENS 181- Heart people become balanced when they do more physi-
cal exercise (gut) and when they read or apply themselves
in mathematics (head). However, they will throw a fit if
they are deprived of emotional expression.
GUT PEOPLEGut people are focused on the action-oriented qualities of
the solar plexus and the lower body. For them, action and
production is the legal tender for their government. All
thoughts and emotions are screened through an action-
oriented sieve. All ideas and feelings are in the service of
action.
Gut people have natural coordination and athletic ability.
They know how to use their bodies instinctively, without the
interference of thoughts and feelings. They also know all
about production and the exact movements needed for ma-
chinery, tools, and bureaucracy to work efficiently and effec-
tively. They make great pilots, athletes, engineers, tool
makers, designers, and percussionists.
Gut people are the doers and movers of the world. They
have difficulty sitting still and are not happy unless they are
traveling somewhere, even if it is confined to their thoughts
or feelings. When they are unable to move physically, they
often imagine themselves doing things and going places.
Even their emotions tend to impel them to move or act
something out.
Gut people use their hearts to give emotional expression
to their movements, as in dance and gesture. They tend to
harness their heads to think about and analyze their move-
ments, as in choreography or engineering. If they get an
idea, they immediately want to put it into action. Philoso-
phizing is not their interest. They want "results and produc-
tivity."
However, when gut people cut off the roads to head and
heart completely, they can become robotic and machinelike,
even dangerous, as people who do not think or feel before
acting. In this negative vein, they can be trapped in aimless
doing, producing endlessly without any rational motive or
perception of the greater need. Unfortunately, gut people
can also have trouble with addictive behavior because of
their impulsive tendencies. An uncomfortable feeling or
thought can lead to drinking or drug taking quite easily. This
is one reason why professional athletes have trouble with
drugs.
