ABSTRACT

The kinesthetic sense encompasses the sensations that inform people of and accompany bodily movement, rhythms, and actions. Gardner (1999) defines bodily-kinesthetic intelligence as “the potential of using one’s whole body or parts of the body (like the hand or the mouth) to solve problems or fashion products” (p. 42). He describes actors, dancers, and other athletes as being particularly in tune with their kinesthetic-bodily sense. According to Cane (1951), the kinesthetic sense is much neglected and many people are largely unaware of the feedback that they get from their bodies or how to use kinesthetic information and expression effectively.
