How to Double (2x) Your Memory Permanently
If you have a kid in school, or are in college or grad-school,
this baby-easy strategy
is guaranteed to raise your class rank - one-full-grade. Your
exam scores will improve
up to 37%, and your opportunity for a scholarship doubles. Works
for executives too.
Why? Its because Memory is Everything. Its the secret to
academic success, right?
V-A-K
V stands for Vision, you have to see what you want to
remember.
A stands for Auditory, you must hear the word or phrase you want
to recall.
K stands for Kinesthetic, a fancy name for your sense of touch,
(feeling, tactile).
When you use a pen or type with your word-processor, you
activate your sense of
touch to double your memory, you must feel the word or
phrase.
Handy-Hand Strategy
1. If you are a lefty, use the index-finger of your left-hand to
trace the word orphrase you want to permanently remember in the
palm of your right-hand.
For righties, use your right-index-finger to trace in the palm
of your left-hand.
2. Before we start we must mentally announce our memory
intention,and get the cooperation of your Inner-Child. Who is
he/she? Another name is your
Self-Talk, Stream-of-Consciousness, Internal-Dialogue, and
Subvocalization.
Your Inner-Child is the still, small voice within - that you
hear mentally when you
are reading. When you ask yourself, Should I take an umbrella?,
who are you
talking to? Its your Inner-Child that sends you an answer
(intuition).
3. Heres what you do. Close your eyes and instantly go into
Alpha (relaxation).I want to talk to my Inner-Child (call it by
your nick-name or Kiddo). We are going
to play a little game. Help me. I want to permanently remember
this word (phrase).
Please play with me. Thats all there is to it.
You have created Attention-Interest-Desire in your own brain.
Now we use V-A-K
to make Handy-Hand work. You have the strength of your
three-power senses for
long-term memory.
4. Example: Occums RazorI just cannot remember the phrase Occums
Razor, the law of parsimony. It refers
to using the simplest approach Keep-It-Simple-Stupid. We have
the help of our
Inner-Child, but he/she needs clues to remember. It comes from
using multi-senses.

a. Mentally say in your mind, Occums Razor three-times (3x). If
you are aloneyou can say the two-words out-loud 3x. Repeat the
words with feeling, like you intend
to learn them permanently. Your intention to remember - is
everything.
b.
Notice that whether you repeat the two-words mentally or aloud,
you involveYour sense of hearing Auditory sense. You hear - Occums
Razor (3x).
c. Trace the two-words, Occums Razor in the palm of your passive
hand usingyour dominant index-finger. So What? You are using your
Visual Sense by seeing the
words asyou trace them. You see them in your minds eye and with
your physical
Visual Cortex.
d. Tracing the words Occums Razor in you other hand is a
physical act thattriggers your powerful sense of touch
(kinesthetic). You feel yourself tracing the
words to be memorized. Thats Kinesthetic.
e. Ask yourself (Inner-Child), Kiddo, what does Occums Razor
remind me of?What does it sound like? What pictures (mental-images)
come into my mind when I
think of the two-words Occums Razor?
Wait two-seconds for an answer, it will come immediately. I get
a mental-image of
of my Gillette Fusion Razor. I use it daily, and see myself
shaving with the Razor.
Thats all I need because I am linking something new, Occums
Razor, with
Something old in my long-term memory. Gillette Razor to Occums
Razor, right?
What about a rhyme for Occum? Dock-em, Hock-em, Lock-em, and
Sock-Em.
The last one is very visual, I see a prize-fight and a lot of
Rock-Em and Sock-Em.
Okay, I repeat 3x the rhythm reminder for Occum. Sock-Em,
Sock-Em, Sock-Em.
Thats baby-easy, I can visualize-mentally, and even feel
Sock-Em. Now I link
them together, Sock-Em, Occum!. Now I add Razor, my own Gillette
razor,
the one I shave with daily. Fact: I will never forget the
two-words, Occums Razor.
f. Last thing, I must show my appreciation to my Inner-Child.
Thanks forplaying the word-game with me. Is there anything I can do
for you? A picture of
a Hershey candy-bar comes to mind. How about a diet Pepsi, or a
sweet fruit,
I want to lose five-pounds? I hear the still, small voice echo,
OK.
Endwords
Your Inner-Child wants to play games all the time. He/she is
available 24/7 to
to help you learn, remember or discover creative ways to
improving. Just ask
in a nice way, and he/she will play with you.
