Developing Photographic Memory

The practice of developing your photographic memory strengthens the neural pathways in your brain, opening up long unused portions of your brain that need to be exercised again in order to 'fire' up and increase the overall brain activity.
It is this daily exercise of the brain that brings about all these benefits to all areas of your life:

* Fantastic reading speed - over 25,000+ words per minute!

* Increase your peripheral vision and awareness

* Dramatically improved concentration and focus

* Become much more organized and effective

* Increased comprehension from your reading

This will allow you to learn so much faster and get down to the business of enjoying life. But this does require exercise...

It is a more holistic approach that involves relaxing your mind, opening up the neural pathways and retraining your brain to function the same way it did when you were just a baby.
When you were born you had a photographic memory, it's what enabled you to learn when you did not yet have the ability to communicate. But as we go through school, are taught to read and now have to conform to society's structure of learning, we lost that ability to tap into our photographic memory. But it is still there. Some brain exercises we can do to help this function are:
* Solve puzzles or riddles
* Give our minds new experiences such as visiting museums/ art galleries or going to new places.
* Involve all our senses in the learning - try new cooking styles, take up a craft, listen to different types of music.
These few exercises can really help your brain to extend itself out of it's limited 2% usage. To really extend yourself and push the limits of your potential I recommend going to www.MentalPhotography.com for a comprehensive guide and techniques on how to dramatic develop your photographic memory.

You'll be absolutely amazed at the results achieved from committing just a 10 minutes a day to developing photographic memory. Even though I had been 'exercising' my brain regularly is wasn't until I applied what I learnt in the Mental Photography course that my skills really took off. I couldn't be happier! I've added the link below. Check it out for yourself.

In my journey into improving my mind and memory, one of the best techniques I have come across to improve my memory quickly is to use linking.

Linking is where you associate things you experience with your senses, to a memory. Such as a particular song may remind you of a person or a time in your life or an event that happened when that song was at the top of the charts. This memory association (linking) when done consciously, is what can help propel your memory development.

An example of linking.

If you have a list of items that you need to memorise, say a grocery list. If there were 20 items on the list, chances are, you would struggle to remember the whole list.
But if you were to link each item to the next then you will have a much better chance of remembering the whole list. (I had a shocking memory and the first time I did linking I was able to remember a list of 20 items easily).

What you do is imagine the first item on the list in a vivid and even absurd way and link it to the second item on the list. Say your list is:
1. bread
2. milk
3. coffee
4. ham
5. frozen peas
You would imagine the bread as big squishy warm loaf of white bread. You can smell the warm dough and feel it's squishy warmth. Now imagine trying to jam that loaf of bread into a milk bottle. Imagine the milk spilling everywhere and the mess that you're making. That has linked the first two items together. Next you need to link the milk and the coffee together. You could imagine a milk bottle filled to the brim with coffee beans. Or think of something absurd, the more absurd the better you will be able to remember as the link between the two items will be strong.
Go through a do this with a list of 20 grocery items and you will truly be amazed at how easy it is to remember the whole list completely accurately.

It will seem difficult to do this at first but persevere for just a little while. I found that I was so amazed at my own photographic memory that I wanted to see if I could use it for lots of different remembering tasks.

It makes you feel pretty clever huh!
