Inner Alignment of Intelligences

by Dale Kirby





This is a pattern designed to use your seven kinds of smart. The first part is a sequential instruction set. The second part lays out the same instructions in a way that will enable you to print them and use them for the pattern easily. Here is how these Intelligences might be accessed and aligned within us for a particular purpose.
Step 1 Label 7 cards with the 7 kinds of smart. 
(Or print and cut the summary of anchors list.)
Linguistic Intelligence- Word Smart
Logical-mathematical Intelligence- Logic Smart
Spatial Intelligence - Picture Smart
Musical Intelligence  - Music Smart
Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence- Body Smart
Interpersonal Intelligence- People Smart
Intrapersonal Intelligence of the inner Self Smart

Step 2. Decide on a goal. What do you want to accomplish that will be facilitated by using your integrated intelligences.

Step 3 Lay out the cards on the floor with a couple of feet between them.

Step 4 Stand at the Linguistic intelligence card so that the rest of the cards are on the floor in a line behind you. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced linguistic competency or excellence, when words flowed for you. Or think how it would be to have that fluency. Anchor that feeling at your lips.

Step 5 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced Logical-Mathematical competency or excellence, when things seemed very rational for you. Or think how it would be to have that logical facility. Anchor that feeling at your temple.

Step 6 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Spatial Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced Spatial competency or excellence, when you could see things clearly and images were very vivid for you. Or think how it would be to have that spatial facility. Anchor that feeling at your eyes .

Step 7 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Musical Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced Musical competency or excellence, when you were in tune with music or rhythm. Or think how it would be to have that musical facility. Anchor that feeling with a finger snap.

Step 8 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Bodily Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced physical or athletic competency or excellence, when you felt good in your body. Or think how it would be to have that physical facility. Anchor that feeling with a clenched fist.

Step 9 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Interpersonal Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced having rapport with others, when you were really communicating well . Or think how it would be to have that Interpersonal facility. Anchor that feeling with a nod of the head.

Step 10 Slowly as you feel comfortable step back onto the card marked Intrapersonal Intelligence. Access the feeling of a time when you experienced inner harmony or excellence, when you were in touch with your feelings . Or think how it would be to have that Intrapersonal facility. Anchor that feeling with a deep breath.

Now you see the other cards stretching out in front of you each with anchor for the many kinds of intelligence you possess. Think of the goal. Take a deep breath and step forward.

Nod your head and think of how you feel at peace with accomplishing this goal and see the smiles of your colleagues as you work with them happily on this goal.

Take a step forward and clench your fist. Nod your head and take a deep breath and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal excellence combined with the feeling of strength and ease in your body.

Take a step forward and snap your fingers. Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist. and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical excellence combined with the feeling of harmony and a song in your heart.

Take a step forward . Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist,and snap your fingers and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical, musical excellence combined with the feeling of clarity of vision.

Take a step forward and touch your eyes. Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist,and snap your fingers and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical, musical excellence combined with the feeling of clarity of vision.

Take a step forward and touch your temple. Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist, snap your fingers and touch your eyes and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical, musical, spatial excellence combined with the feeling of it making all the sense in the world to do it.

Take a step forward and touch your lips. Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist, snap your fingers, touch your eyes and touch your temple and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical, musical, spatial, logical excellence combined with the feeling of it telling yourself in eloquent terms that you can and will accomplish this goal with all the many intelligences you possess. Take a step forward and chant "Ommmm". Nod your head, take a deep breath, clench your fist, snap your fingers, touch your eyes and touch your temple and touch your lips and think about accomplishing your goal with interpersonal, intrapersonal, physical, musical, spatial, logical excellence combined with the feeling of it telling yourself in eloquent terms that you can and will accomplish this goal with all the many intelligences you possess.

Anchor this feeling with whatever seems appropriate to you as you feel the inner alignment of your multi-mind. Feel the power of being totally capable of bringing all your talents to bear on this goal.

Now get up and do something toward the goal even if it is a small step. Each time you do something toward it fire off the anchor and enhance it. I think you'll build incredible momentum this way.

Music Smart - Snap Fingers
Body Smart - Clench fist
