Learners with high Intrapersonal Intelligence prefer having an opportunity to look within first before discussing their thoughts with others and failure to cater for this fact in class can only lead to resentment. A selection of activities will be presented in this workshop, all designed with this aim in mind. As these are the same psychological processes that compose our lives, there is a strong case to be made for following the same steps in class. The three stages will be illustrated through the use of story telling and guided imagery. Acceptance of intuition gives us greater access to information, augments the limited perspective of our five familiar senses, and prompts us to transcend our linear view of time and space.
Intuition entails listening to the inner voice.
In addition to being able to experience the process for yourself, an analysis of the language used to activate the voice will enable you to devise your own scripts. When the subconscious is activated or accessed, the material enters the mind with no resistance. As a result, metaphors can affect dramatic change in an individual. According to psychologists, our memories seem to work best when we can see things as part of a recognised pattern, when our imaginations are aroused, when we can make natural associations between one idea and another, and when the information appeals strongly to our senses. An imaginative story rich in vocabulary that appeals to the senses and works as a metaphor clearly fulfils all these criteria.
