182 SECRETS OF SHAMANISMDEALIMQ WITH OUT PEOPLE- Gut people need space to move in. They hate to be con-
fined or trapped. Therefore never pen them in. Give them
tasks that allow them to walk, drive, fly, and generally
move about. - Give gut people an opportunity to use their bodies. If you
are trying to teach them something, get them to go through
the movements first. They learn kinesthetically, by doing,
not by a set of verbal instructions or by color codes. They
do respond to three-dimensional models that can be mani-
pulated to demonstrate how to do something. - Compliment and acknowledge gut people for their incredi-
ble coordination. Give them credit for being capable in
this physically oriented way. After all, who would you
want flying the plane in an emergency? - Gut people recall sensations and movements. In journey-
ing, get them to identify these actions first, then help them
identify the feelings and meanings that accompanied them.
They have these but simply deemphasize them. - Gut people may be impulsive, spontaneous, and on occa-
sion belligerent. Learn from their spontaneity and compli-
ment them on it. Help them to get in touch with their
deeper feelings and emotions before they act self-destruc-
tively. Help them think through an action on a major issue
before embarking on it, even if briefly. Help them to be
dynamic rather than pushy. - Gut people are balanced by listening to music, dancing
(heart), or reading (head). They will be most unhappy u
they are not allowed to move or at least move with their
thoughts and feelings.
SUBTYPESEach person specializes in one of the three styles, head,
heart, and gut. In addition you may find that you have a
subspecialty as well. If you are a heart person you might also
be fairly good at head matters and poorest at gut activity. If
you are a head person you might be fair at gut reactions but
poor in the heart category. This gives you a more exact de-
scription of the actual way you operate in the world. Here
are the six subtypes.
