Hi Na Na ( Poppy)
Don't take F into P as gospel - the spelling issue may also be the result of
malicious or inadvertent 'programming' by authority figures when you were a kid
- before you developed
your critical faculty to discriminate between fact, falsehood , and some-one
else's personal opinions - resulting you taking on the belief about your
ability to spell which replays itself like a conditioned reflex ( like a
country cousin of a phobia )! It could as result from discredited teaching
methods ( you don't say how old you are but there was some real crap ideas
about teaching spelling to kids circa late 1970s through the 1980s). An aside -
anything I've found of therapeutic value re.NLP has been 'borrowed' from old
tried and tested hypnotherapy & psychotherapy techniques - not the 'emperors
new clothes' ..but very much like well designed boiler suits made from
re-cycled materials. As for your second question - is there anything truly
'wrong' about your ambidexterous abilities? Right and Left are just labels -
enjoy being able to do without thinking what others can't do per se - just
because you are different doesn't make you wrong - it just makes you different
, you lucky individual!
Bye 4 Now

>Im slightly confused......Ive started reading frogs into princes and come to
the part where its discussing cerebral organization. according to the text it
seems to imply that bad spellers tend to use their auditory sense rather than
spelling visually with a kinesthetic check. I am an appauling speller and have
to constantly spell check anything i write.I totally agree that whenever i
spell i do tend to do it auditorily. In fact i cant visualize letters or
numbers at all (hence ive had the same pin number for 4 years and still forget
it!)
>
>However what i dont understand about this is that i would think of myself as a
really visual person.I have no problem remembering faces pictures or even
manipulating 3D images in my head, also when i play the piano i never need the
music once ive learnt it since i memorize the patterns visually, so why do i
have such a problem with letters and numbers?

>I know that the book then warns against introspection.....but hey the book
also warns that it lies.......
>
>A second question to anyone that might be able to help, sometimes i wake up
and cant remember which side is my left or right! For example I'll pick up
cuttlery the wrong way round and not notice, i'll smoke with my left hand
insted of my right, in dancing i'll turn better to the left, when i'm naturally
a right turner, my mind gets totally fooled into thinking that my right side is
my left! ( And before you ask, it isnt drug related!) This normally lasts
untill someone points it out to me in the day or i go to write and i feel like
somethings wrong!
>
>Does anyone else get this? Im really just intrigued as to why this happens and
wondered if any of the mind experts here can explain. Perhaps i'm just
confirming the fact that im as mad as a hatter to everyone on this site!
