The major senses are Visual, Auditory

and Kinaesthetic, although smell and taste are

very powerful senses they are used to a lesser extent

than the others. Kinaesthetic has two parts,

the physical sensation of touch, is something rough

or smooth? And the emotional aspects of feeling

for example:

happy,

confident,

sad,

nervous.

The ways we use to describe our emotional states

have become labels that we use to describe

the physical sensations that we experience

at any time, although we may find it difficult

to identify them precisely. They are usually a c

omplex combination of changes in pulse

rate, breathing, muscular tension,

temperature, adrenalin effects, etc.

We also seem to have a preference, or bias,

to one of the major senses - most people (

about 70%) have  a visual bias. This means that

they will process information using more pictures

than sounds or feelings. When asked to r

emember something they will usually get a

pictorial representation of the event

first and attached to it will be the sounds and

feelings that went with that memory.

For example, when asked "What time did you

get up this morning?" a visual person will

probably "see", in their mind's eye, a picture of

their alarm clock and maybe mentally "hear" the

alarm sound, and even, for an instant, feel that

they have just woken up! An auditory person

would probably hear the sound of the alarm first

and then see a picture of the clock........

This is the way we access, recall or imagine  

the data that is stored and even created in

and by our brain processes and, as we will see

in a later article, this can be detected by s

tudying somebody's Eye Accessing Cues.
