Visual-Spatial Intelligence is the ability to rotate an object in your mind. Those with a strong visual-spatial intelligence see the big picture, recognize patterns, and are very inventive. We often see this in professions that work in three dimensions such as architecture, engineering, and sculpting.

Architects, for example, plan a building by examining many points of view. They see how each space flows into the next and what vibe that might create. Plan your future house by envisioning spaces that are customized to your ideals of comfortable living. Sensory deprivation tanks provide a unique opportunity that’s free of distractions and allows you practice visualization. When you reach stillness, the Epsom salt relaxes your muscles while your mind focuses on processing information, weighing decisions, and considering your dreams.

Say an architect wants to design your dream home. Let’s start with the sunrise. How might you enjoy its greeting? Maybe the filtered light dances through flowing linen curtains that frame your bedroom windows. Would you like heated floors that guide you past your zen garden to your breakfast nook?

From your kitchen, you can see the scope of your great space. How would you like to arrange each area so that you can chat with friends and family while preparing a feast? Would you like a large island with plenty of storage and comfy bar stools?

The outdoor kitchen could use some string lights, wind chimes, and an abundance of fresh herbs in raised garden beds. How about a greenhouse for zucchini, green onions, and potatoes? There’s room for a few apple trees and blueberry bushes mixed with Japanese maples to paint a colorful backdrop to your lounge area.

The three-car garage could attach to your office and tv room, creating the perfect man-cave trifecta. The workshop has each tool organized, the walls are installed with all the latest smart house technology and a large flatscreen highlights another score by your favorite team.

Let’s add features that suit you specifically. Maybe a spa in the master bath far from all the noise. Imagine a soft glow from the skylight above resting on glass tiles and bundles of fresh eucalyptus. There’s room for a walk-in shower, free-standing tub, and cedar sauna. Have you always wanted a cozy library? You can dedicate a room that’s lined with bookshelves and plenty of space to expand your collection. If you collect art, you can designate a spot specifically for each piece with gallery lighting and dust-free air conditioning. Maybe you have an art room with large windows that’s also great for stargazing.

Designing your dream home brings together different parts of your personality, cultures, and travels. Practice your visual-spatial intelligence by walking though spaces you’ve always wanted to experience. Book a float, you’ll find that it pairs nicely with your Pinterest board.
