Right brain awareness, as defined here is emotional, intuitive, visual-spatial, tactile, melodic, musical, artistic, pictorial, imaginal, geometric, gymnastic, environmental and non-linguistic.
Jane Graves • Do you think in 3 dimensions ? • Can you grasp ideas easily that you can’t explain in words ? • Do you think in images ? • Do you sometimes understand things without being able to explain how you got there?
