Introduction

There is good news for everyone whowants to improve his or her memory. Newresearch has shown that your memorypower can keep increasing - all you haveto do is to keep exercising it constantly.

The more you jog it, the better yourmemory functions.

It works like this: The brain has some10,000,000,000 neurons and the moreconnections you stimulate between

neurons, the more efficiently they recollectinformation. In the Information Age, youaccumulate so much data on academics, business, income tax, entertainment etcthrough newspapers, magazines, Internetetc., that you find ourselves caught in an

Information Web. This ebook will give you valuable information to take control ofyour memory.

Process of Mem ory

Memory is a process and it has three steps namely:

RegistrationRetentionRecall

Registration is the process of storing information inyour brain. But you must ensure that you use a right way

of registration. Registration must be proper and beimpactful. For this, visualizing and understanding theinformation will help a great deal. Also, there is nomemory without understanding.

Retention: This is the ability to hold the information inyour brain for as long as you want it to be. The quality of your retention is directly proportional to the quality of

your registration.

Recall: This is the ability to bring out the information atwill. When the registration and the retention are proper,the recall would be automatic. If you are not able to recallthe information when needed, that only means that theinformation is not properly stored in your brain.

Memorising is a process and it has to be initiated. Toinitiate this process you have to use some scientific toolslike Mnemonics.

Capacity Of The Br ain

Here are some facts with the help of which you can

ascertain the capacity of the brain.

The capacity of the brain is so much that its reallyunbelievable. It is so extraordinary that you cant fill up abrain in your lifetime. See the following facts:

Fact 1

Each brain has 1012 neurons (brain cells) That is around 1 million million neurons

Each neuron is equivalent to one personal computerin capacity

Fact 2

The CRAY Super Computer operates at 400 million

calculations per second The CRAY Super Computer would have to run non-

stop for a 100 years if it has to achieve what yourbrain can do in 1 minute

Fact 3

Start telling 10 words per second to a just born baby

Continue to do this till he reaches the age of 100years

Now, if he can remember all the words which helistened throughout his lifetime, he would have usednot more than 50 % of his memory powerttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

The Memor y Stealers

There are three things that steal away your memorypower. Just the awareness of these three things can do alot of good. We call them as 3 D's. Any memory problemcan be traced back to one or more of the 3 Ds.

Disbelief: If you dont have belief in your memorycapacity, it will not help you. You have learnt about theunlimited capacity to remember. So why don't you startbelieving in our memory. And it will surely help.

Unfortunately what we do is We remember what weforget and forget what we remember! We frequentlymake an issue about what all we forget. But hardly any onegives credit to their memory.

Disinterest: This need not be over emphasized. If youdon't have interest in what you are learning, then youcannot remember it anyway. Try to search ways andmeans on how you can make our learning moreinteresting. It will be a rewarding experience.

Disuse: Use it or lose it is the philosophy of the brain. Sowhenever you gather new information, make sure that youuse it frequently. Also make proper revision in order to

remember.

Come out of the traps of 3 Ds.

Mnem onics - Intro duction

Mnemonics is the science of memorising information. Thisis a very ancient science and it dates back to 500 BC. Butunfortunately these techniques of Mnemonics did not getthe popularity they rightly deserved. The nameMnemonics comes from the Greek word Mnemosynewhich is the name of the Greek goddess of memory. Withthe help of Mnemonics one can remember anything. Thescope is unlimited.

If we are featured in the Record Books consistently forhaving an outstanding memory, its just because, we areemploying the tools of Mnemonics. We hold memoryrecords for performing memory feats like memorising a2000 digit number, memorising 705-digit binary number,memorising the order of a shuffled deck of playing cards inunder 3 minutes etc. If one can get into the record books by using Mnemonics, its obvious that it can be used inday-to-day memory needs as well.

3 Steps For A Great Memo ry

Mnemonics is a huge science. This is a fun way and ascientific way of learning things. If we boil all theMnemonic techniques, we get the following threeimportant elements. We call them the three steps for agreat memory. Just remember the word VAP.

V - VisualisationA AssociationP Pleasure

Just make sure that your learning process is VAPenabled.

Visualisation is a very important tool for having a goodmemory. It is common knowledge that you rememberpictures better than anything else. Pictures are easier tounderstand and therefore you remember them for a longtime.

One of the good ways of registering the information well isto convert the information into a visual. Try to visualise what you want to learn. By doing so, you arecommunicating to the brain in the language it knows. Andtherefore better retention and recall is facilitated.

Association is simply linking data. It is said that Allmemory is association. The law of association is:

If you want to remember something, link it to somethingwhich you already know.

By doing this, both the facts are linked together in the

brain. This helps build your memory to a great extent.

Pleasure is vital while learning. When learning is fun,learning is easy. You have to have fun/pleasure in the

learning process.

If you can enjoy the process of learning, half of theproblem is eliminated. If you scan your memory bank, thethings you remember well, are those with which you haveassociated pleasure.

Unfortunately, memorising is usually equated withpressure. This is purely because of lack of awareness ofMnemonic tools right from the school days.

If you consciously try to use VAP in your learning, nothingis difficult to remember.

The Secret:

Heres the secret why Mnemonics is a non-failing science.The most important thing in Mnemonics is that this is anautomatic concentration technique.

When you are consciously trying to Visualise, Associateand to have Pleasure, what you are doing is, indirectly youare paying attention on the information. Thats whatmemory is all about. Paying attention. These systems worklike magic.

Top 3 Memo ry Myths

Myth 1: Consum ing mem ory pills and tonics is theeasiest way to improve your mem ory.

Fact: Most pills that are marketed as memoryimprovement pills are really not effective. These pills aredefinitely good for the well-being of your brain. These pillshelp you have a healthy brain.

Please understand that healthy brain does not necessarilymean sharper brain. And if your brain is healthy, there isno guarantee that you will have a great memory.

I will give you a good analogy to explain this concept. Youcan take some medicines/pills etc to have healthy andstrong hands. Does that mean you will be able to play apiano? If you want to play a piano, you need to train yourhands to be able to do that. This requires effort andpatience. Just having healthy hands will not suffice.

Similarly just having a healthy brain will not suffice tohave a great memory, though it definitely helps. If youwant to have a great memory, you need to train your brainfor that. The easiest way to improve you memory is to usememory techniques. These techniques give a really good

workout to your brain and build your memory muscles.

Myth 2: If I cross the age of 40, it is certain thatmy m emor y power will deteriorate.

Fact: Age is never a deterrent to learn any skill. Andmemorising is a skill. At any age, anyone can learn anyskill. The only thing which is required is the willingness to

try.

Have you not heard of people who went to ballroomdancing classes at the age of 50? And you must be seeing

several 60 yr old people jogging on the streets everymorning.

Now, these people chose the option to learn new skills. If aperson can choose to be physically fit the age of 60, thereis nothing that can stop him to be mentally fit. The mostimportant word here is ACTION. If you are willing to putin action, you can improve your memory irrespective ofyour age.

Myth 3: By using more of m y mem ory, I am do inga disservice to myself, as I am using up theprecious space in my brain.

Fact: This is probably the biggest myth. You already havelearnt about the storage capacity of the brain in the sectionCapacity of the brain. You can never use up the entirecapacity of the brain. It is just impossible.

What you must know, here, is an amazing secret of yourbrain.

The more you remember, the more you can remember.

Thats right. The more exercise you give to your brain, the

sharper it becomes. You learn new information byhooking it to the existing information in your brain. So,the more you learn, the more hooks you create in yourbrain. The more hooks you have in your brain, the moreinformation you can hang on to your brain.
