2. Memory Management
Introduction Trained and untrained memory Habit is memory Be interested Link method of memory Observation The Singing Technique

Introduction
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, In nothing else is he poor. Alexander Smith

It is a well known fact that whatever you see, or whatever you hear always remain in your mind. Its just that the link which can retrieve this information is lost. That means, there is nothing like a bad memory, its just trained or untrained memory (we will cover this in detail soon). So, for all those people who think, they have bad memory, please take that thought out of your mind, because all humans beings are born with equally good memory (exceptions are some people with medical problems). The human brain has amazingly humongous capacity to memorize things and here we will learn how to utilize this unexplored and untouched power. We promise you, by the time you finish this chapter you would be proud to say that you have a good memory.

Trained and untrained memory

I feel assured that there is no such thing as ultimate forgetting; Traces once impressed upon the memory are indestructible. Thomas De Quincey As we discussed above, there is nothing like a bad memory, its just trained or untrained memory. There is a specific pattern in which our mind operates, and most of us are unaware of this, that is why we are unable to utilize the enormous memory capacity we have. We will try to explain this by stating an example: Imagine you meet a stranger in a party and he tells you his name (john) but unfortunately you are not good at remembering the names, and maybe you will feel embarrassed next time you meet him and you dont remember his name. But if you link it with another friend whose name is also john then, we are sure you will never forget that strangers name. If you read the above example carefully, you will find the real Secret of memory. The secret of memory is Linking of thoughts or in other words Association. We will learn several different tricks to memorize different

[11]

kind of information easily like, names, telephone numbers, a long shopping list or may be your study chapters if you are a student.

Habit is memory
"All knowledge is but remembrance" Plato Lets first start by understanding what HABIT is? And how is it related with memory? Right now you are able to read this book, because you know how to read and understand English language. And you know it because you recognize and understand those entire 26 alphabets. You can convert these alphabets into a language because you remember the sounds of each of them. So, its your memory which is helping you read this book right now. You dont realize it, because your memory has become your habit, and it works like an automatic engine now. In other words, if you lose your memory, you will have to start learning each and everything right from scratch, like a new born baby. You would have to relearn things like, how to change clothes, how to shave, how to apply makeup or how to drive a car. So, you can imagine how much is already stored in your memory.

Be interested
The true art of memory is the art of attention. Samuel Johnson First of all I would like to state that you have already taken an important step towards developing a better memory by starting this course, this shows that you have interest & desire in improving your memory and you already have started working towards it. Now the only thing you need to work on is to develop trust in your own existing memory power. When you already know something never look back for the confirmation (unless and until its something very important and is going to cost you big amount of money). In short DO NOT CONFIRM because the moment you confirm something you already know, you send a hidden signal to your mind that you dont have a good memory, which is the biggest enemy for your memory improvement. Learn to trust yourself & your memory, you will surely make some mistakes in the first few days, but after a week of regular practice, you will start noticing tremendous improvements in your retention power. Always send positive signals to your mind and say YOU KNOW IT. Its a magical trick and the most important change you need to implement in your everyday life. The best part of this trick is that it doesnt cost you any additional effort; by the time, it will become your habit.

Link method of memory

A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, In nothing else is he poor.

[12]

Alexander Smith

We want to show you, that you can immediately start to remember as you've never remembered before. We don't believe that anyone with an untrained memory can possibly remember twenty unassociated items, in a sequence, after hearing or seeing them only once. Even if you dont believe, you will be able to accomplish it just by reading this chapter for a while. List of items to remember: Telephone Pin Table Cigarette Pencil Headphones Flower Ice cream Toothpaste Shaving cream Car Briefcase Newspaper Currency notes Ship Tie (the one which u wear with a shirt) Coffee Bed Fish Fan If you see the above list carefully, you will find that all these words are very common and we use in our everyday life. Before going into actual memorizing, we must explain that your trained memory will be based almost entirely on mental pictures or images. These mental pictures will be easily recalled if they are made as ridiculous as you can possibly make them. You will be able to memorize these twenty items in sequence in a surprisingly short time. There is a saying that method is the mother of memory. That means if you know the method of storing the information in your brain, there is nothing in this world practically which you cannot remember. So, you will learn now, what we call the Linking method of memory. I've told you that your trained memory will consist mostly of ridiculous mental images, so let's start by making ridiculous mental images of the above twenty items. We are going to help you with the first few words and then you will continue on your own. Don't be worried, it is a child's play; as a matter of fact it is almost like a game. The first thing you have to do is to get a picture of the first item, "telephone" in your mind. You all know what a telephone isso just "see" it in your mind's eye. We have already explained you that in order to remember anything, it must be associated in some way to something you already know or remember. The thing that you already know is the item, "telephone". Now the next item you want to remember is, "pin" Now, here is your first and most important step towards your trained memory. You must now associate or link telephone to/with pin. The association must be as ridiculous as possible. For example, you might imagine that while you are talking on telephone there is a pin which comes out from the speaker phone and pokes into your ear. See that you feel pain while talking on the

[13]

phone due to the poking pin or as another example you may imagine that to dial a number on your telephone set you use a pin instead of your fingers. Now I am sure that whenever you think of telephone it will remind you of the pin. Now that you have associated telephone with a pin, lets concentrate on you next item which is table. So, now you have to establish a relationship between a pin and a table. Imagine that table is standing on a pin instead of four legs; you can imagine anything you want, but make sure you try to make it as funny as possible, because the funny thoughts are easy to retrieve. Now, lets continue with the forth item cigarette. Imagine that the table is smoking a cigarette or may be the table is standing on four cigarettes instead of legs. The fifth item is pencil, imagine that you are smoking a pencil instead of a cigarette. Make sure that you choose a funny association, because if you choose something which is too logical your brain would not be able to remember it easily. Mark my words for that! Now that we are sure you know the technique yourself, we will continue with you for the one last word which is headphones. Imagine that you have a gigantic & alive pencil (as big as a man) which is enjoying the loud music from the head phones on the head. Remember that its very important to visualize the picture in your minds eye because mind can store images better than the words. Now we want you to continue till the last word in the same way, then put down the book for ten minutes and try to recall all the words in the same sequence. Write them down on a paper and match them with the original list, and give yourself 1 point for each correct sequence. Well, we are sure you will score full marks, but dont worry even if you dont. Keep practicing and you will master this technique sooner than you think. The good thing about this technique is that after practicing it for a few weeks, it will turn into a habit and you dont have to put additional efforts to remember similar lists, everything will become automatic.

[14]

[15]

Observation
Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. William S. Burroughs It would be right to say, nothing exist until you observe it. If you go to a new place and you dont observe anything, you would never be able to recall what you saw there. That means the observation and memory goes hand in hand, to memorize anything, first you need to observe it and then memorize it. The observation is always the first step and then comes retaining. If you want, we can start right away! To help you improve your observation skills through the following Drills. Drill 1: Probably, at the moment you are sitting in your personal room and reading this book and you must be pretty familiar with the room. So take out a pen and a paper, start writing whatever you think is there in the room without looking at them. It could be a table, chair, ashtray, pen, pencil, computer or whatever you can think of. Now look at the room and match the list, try to observe new things, which you probably have seen countless times, but never noticed earlier. Go out of the room and start writing new things again below the same list, I am sure your list must be much longer this time. Keep repeating this exercise until u cover each and everything from your room. Drill 2: Try this drill when you are at a new place or anywhere out of your house. Take an example of your office place, your friends place or maybe a railway station. Have a look around you, just a quick look, and then close your eyes. Now try to observe each and everything you see in your mental picture, imagine you are still watching the scene with your minds eye. Start describing the smallest thing you remember, a computer, some people around, color of the clothes they are wearing, some photos on the news board or whatever you can recall but make sure you do not open your eyes until you are exhausted with all the things you can think of. Now open your eyes, look at the scene again, now give some more time at it and close your eyes again. Repeat the same drill. The good thing about this drill is you can practice it whenever you want and wherever you are. The above two drills will stretch your mind to the maximum limit. It works same like our body muscles. We go to gym to exercise and the longer we continue, our stamina improves every time. In the same way, these drills will let us stretch our brain muscles and we will start observing more, more and more By the time, you will realize that your ability to observe things is improving. You would be able to observe things which generally no one observes in one go.

The Singing Technique

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. ~Jane Taylor We are sure; you remember that nursery Rhyme, right? But do you ever wonder why and how do you still remember it? Even after so many years? Well, thats another memory secret, The Singing. Whenever you sing a song it affects your auditory memory and creates an imaginary link to the words in your mind. Due to which, even if you dont remember the words but sound or rhythm, words automatically come to your mind. Thats a powerful memory technique, and now we will learn how we can use it in our daily life for benefits. The idea is again association, which happens automatically in case of songs. But now as we know the technique, we can also associate it intentionally. Say you have to learn a piece of text:A Dog and his role Looking up every Pole Nose in every hole Black as a piece of Coal A Dog and his role In the above text, just read it normally (no singing), close the book and try to recall. Probability is that you wont recall it word to word (if you dont have a trained memory). This time, read the same text in the singing way. Make it loud & clear; try to make it as funny as possible. Now, close the book again, and try to recall! I am sure, this time you would surely recall each and every word ditto. The same technique you can use to remember any kind of data like: - Phone Numbers, shopping list, your presentations, short stories and even difficult language vocabulary. But make sure, the idea is to keep practicing. The more you practice, the more effective this technique will become. Moreover we feel this is a fun filled way of learning.

3. Mind Maps
(Its a powerful approach to note taking, also called as Spray Diagrams, Spider Diagrams, Spidograms, Spidergrams and Mind Mapping). Introduction Improving your Mind Maps Key points

Introduction
Mind Mapping is an important technique that improves the way you take notes, remember important information and supports and enhances your creative problem solving in an organized way. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject and the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes. Moreover, Mind Maps provide a structure which encourages creative problem solving, and they hold information in a format that your mind will find easy to remember and quick to review. Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking which is difficult to remember and understand. They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points and the way in which one fact relates to other. Mind Maps are more compact than conventional notes, often taking up one side of paper. This helps you to make associations easily. If you find out more information after you have drawn the main Mind Map, then you can easily integrate it with little disruption.

Mind Maps are also useful for:

Summarizing information Consolidating information from different research sources Thinking through complex problems, and Presenting information that shows the overall structure of your subject Mind Maps are also very quick to review, as it is easy to refresh information in your mind just by glancing at once. Mind Maps can also be effective mnemonics. Remembering the shape and structure of a Mind Map can provide the cues necessary to remember the information within it. They engage much more of the brain in the process of assimilating and connecting facts than conventional notes. They are easy to remember because human brain can easily store and recall the images as compared to texts or audios.

Drawing Basic Mind Maps

We are adding a few sample Mind Maps which will give you a basic idea of what they are.

[19]

Image 1

Figure 2

[20]

To make notes on a subject using a Mind Map, draw it in the following way: 1. Write the title of the subject in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it. 2. For the major subject subheadings, draw lines out from this circle. Label these lines with the subheadings. 3. If you have another level of information belonging to the subheadings above, draw these and link them to the subheading lines. 4. Finally, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them. As you come across new information, link it in to the Mind Map appropriately. A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center. Sub-topics and facts will branch off these, like branches and twigs from the trunk of a tree. You do not need to worry about the structure produced, as this will evolve of its own accord. Note that the sample Mind Maps are only to help show how they are created. All we are showing is that major headings radiate from the center, with lower level headings and facts branching off from the higher level headings. While drawing Mind Maps by hand is appropriate in most of the cases. Still some good software tools are available online to improve the process by helping to you to produce high quality Concept Maps, which can easily be edited and redrafted for the business and professional work.

Improving your Mind Maps

Once you understand how to make notes in the Mind Map format, you can develop your own conventions to take them further. The following suggestions may help to increase their effectiveness: Use single words or simple phrases for information: Most words in normal writing are padding, as they ensure that facts are conveyed in the correct context, and in a format that is pleasant to read. In your own Mind Maps, single strong words and meaningful phrases can convey the same meaning more potently. Excess words just clutter the Mind Map. Print words: Joined up or indistinct writing can be more difficult to read. Use color to separate different ideas; this will help you to separate ideas where necessary. It also helps you to visualize of the Mind Map for recall. Color also helps to show the organization of the subject. Use symbols and images; where a symbol or picture means something to you, use it. Pictures can help you to remember information more effectively than words. Using cross-linkages; information in one part of the Mind Map may relate to another part. Here you can draw in lines to show the cross-linkages. This helps you to see how one part of the subject affects another.

Key points:
Mind mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes. Mind Maps show not only facts, but also the overall structure of a subject and the relative importance of individual parts of it. They help you to associate ideas and make connections that might not otherwise make. If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps. You will find them surprisingly effective!

4. Brainstorming
Introduction Brainstorming and Lateral Thinking Group Brainstorming

Introduction
Brainstorming is a useful and popular tool that you can use to develop highly creative solutions to a problem. It is particularly helpful when you need to break out of stale, established patterns of thinking, so that you can develop new ways of looking at things. This can be when you need to develop new opportunities, where you want to improve the service that you offer, or when existing approaches just aren't giving you the results you want. When used with your team, it helps you bring the experience of all team members into play during problem solving. This increases the richness of solutions explored (meaning that you can find better solutions to the problems you face, and make better decisions.) It can also help you get buy in from team members for the solution chosen - after all, they have helped create that solution.

Brainstorming and Lateral Thinking

Brainstorming is a lateral thinking process. It asks that people come up with ideas and thoughts that seem at first to be a bit shocking. You can then change and improve them into ideas that are useful, and often stunningly original. During brainstorming sessions there should therefore be no criticism of ideas: You are trying to open up possibilities and break down wrong assumptions about the limits of the problem. Judgments and analysis at this stage will stunt idea generation. Ideas should only be evaluated at the end of the brainstorming session - you can then explore solutions further using conventional approaches.

Group Brainstorming
Group brainstorming can be very effective as it uses the experience and creativity of all members of the group. When individual members reach their limit on an idea, another member's creativity and experience can take the idea to the next stage. Therefore, group brainstorming tends to develop ideas in more depth than individual thinking. How to use Brainstorming:

[23]

To run a group brainstorming session effectively, do the following:

Define the problem you want solution for, clearly, and lay out any criteria to be met; Keep the session focused on the problem. Ensure that no one criticizes or evaluates ideas during the session. Criticism introduces an element of risk for group members when putting forward an idea. This stifles creativity and cripples the free running nature of a good brainstorming session; Encourage an enthusiastic, uncritical attitude among members of the group. Try to get everyone to contribute and develop ideas, including the quietest members of the group. Let people have fun brainstorming. Encourage them to come up with as many ideas as possible, from solidly practical ones to wildly impractical ones. Welcome creativity. Ensure that no thought is followed for too long. Encourage people to develop other people's ideas, or to use other ideas to create new ones. Appoint one person to note down ideas that come out of the session. A good way of doing this is to use a flip chart. This should be studied and evaluated after the session.

If possible, participants in the brainstorming process should come from as wide a range of disciplines as possible. This brings a broad range of experience to the session and helps to make it more creative. Brainstorming is a great way of generating radical ideas. During the brainstorming process there is no criticism of ideas, as free rein is given to people's creativity (criticism and judgment cramps creativity). This often makes group brainstorming sessions enjoyable experiences, which are great for bringing team members together. Individual brainstorming is best for generating many ideas, but tends to be less effective at developing them. Group brainstorming tends to develop fewer ideas, but takes each idea further.

Quick Relaxation Techniques. Mudras. The Laughing Cure to reduce stress Stress management

Quick Relaxation Techniques

A still, calm and quiet mind gives you access to tremendous benefits. Meditations are one of the ways how you can reach that state of mind. Active dynamic meditation activates the alpha brain wave frequency which is used for concentration, relaxation and deeper meditation in a short moment. The Benefits are that it reduces stress, activates mind, and improves memory and creativity. With this technique, you can utilize your mind more efficiently.

Relaxation in a couple of seconds Listen the audio (Audio Included in CD1)

Listen to the audio for mental relaxation, using 3 to 1 exercise. Visualize number 3 for physical relaxation. Visualize number 2 for mental relaxation. Visualize number 1 to reach the alpha brain wave. After listening the audio for 2 weeks daily, you will be able to reach the Alpha level by just visualizing the numbers 3 - 2 -1. You will feel completely relax as if you have done the complete exercise in couple of seconds. Through research and feedbacks we have determined that everyone is able to achieve the alpha brain wave with the frequency of 10 cycles per second while maintaining awareness.

[28]

Depression Depression
Depression is a fight Depression is a flight Depression is a thief That should be locked up Depression steals your view on life And even your very life It brings to you seclusion Worse than that of a grave And darkness Worse than that of a cave It keeps you away It doesnt allow you to be gay It keeps you back It doesnt allow any comeback It keeps you pressured It keeps you shattered It brings to you tearing tears With depression there is no in-between Youre in a dark tunnel With no light to be seen Depression we say is a selfish state of mind But when we get depressed there is no other we can find Depression is predator and were all its prey Tick tock tick tock goes the clock Its only a matter of time Before the ultimate climb By: Prateek Gupta

[29]

Daydream and Defocus

This is a special technique, in which we train our mind to reach alpha level quickly. We can use this technique to relax almost instantly. Keep your eyes open and keep them approximately at 20 degrees of your horizontal plane of sight. And try to defocus them, so that you see the blur picture with your eyes. Now change your concentration from your eyes to your mind. Soon you will feel as if you do not see anything with your eyes but with your mind. Now you are in alpha level. Keep your mind still. Be there for as long as you want. This technique will help you relax quickly or even instantly.

Three finger technique

Three Finger Technique helps you reach the alpha level quickly. After you practice it for some time, it will become faster and faster. Technique: Bring your left-thumb, index and middle finger together and keep them touched for a while, you will automatically enter the alpha level. This is a natural way of reaching alpha level. For the first few days you might not feel it, but by the time, it will be more effective. This technique will help you relax your body and your mind in a natural way. You can use this technique when you have presentations, before public speaking or whenever you need to relax quickly.

Breathing exercise
The way you breathe affects your whole body. Full, deep breathing is a good way to reduce tension & stress. Breathing exercises were adapted by the ancient of yoga. It is a very efficient technique for achieving a deep state of relaxation quickly. Step 1: Breathing from your abdomen, inhale through your nose, slowly count till five onetwothreefourfive as you inhale. Step 2: Pause and hold your breath and count till five. Step 3: Exhale slowly, through your nose or mouth, to a count till five again (or more if it takes you longer). Be sure to exhale fully. When youve exhaled completely, take two breaths in your normal rhythm, and then repeat steps 1 through 3 in the cycle above. Keep up the exercise for at least three to five minutes. Keep your breathing smooth and regular throughout the exercise, without gulping in breaths or breathing out suddenly. Each time you exhale, you mentally repeat, relax or let go or any other relaxing word what feels good for you.

[30]

Meditation
Practice meditation daily, it helps to maintain healthy brain-wave activity. Focus, passion, patience and concentration are necessary for success in almost any aspect of life. Stimulate your psyche with new challenges like studying an unfamiliar subject. Select activities that force you into a meditative "single point of attention." Breathing, relax and be in present, make a habit of it. Listen to a soothing or calming music. Breathe and relax your muscles. Picture a relaxing scene in your mind. Then relax and sit there for the time you want.

[31]

[32]

Mudras (hand positions)

Connection between hands and mind are called Mudras. There is extraordinary relationship between our mind and hands which we call as Mudras. Mudras are hand positions that activate functions in your mind and body to improve. Mudras can be used to still and calm the mind within minutes. Monks or Yogis in different parts of the world have been using Mudras for hundreds of years now. These techniques are taught to them by ancestors as a part of their training to calm the mind.
Mudras influence the mind through direct stimulation of the brain, it has been demonstrated that alpha waves arise particularly from the brain. Mudras are used to change brain wave patterns to relieve stress, improve health, increase abundance etc.

The Laughing Cure to reduce stress

Laughter is nature's stress buster. It lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others. Laughing is found to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones and a natural pain killer. It is advisable to append around 20 minutes a day or more for laughter. A recent study showed that pre-school-aged children laugh up to 400 times a day, but by the time we reach adulthood, we laugh a mere 17 times per day on average! You can raise your laughter level with the following strategies:

T.V. and Movies

There are a lot of comedies out there, you can choose going to the video stores, cinema or as right on your T.V. Watching truly hilarious movies and shows is an easy way to get laughter into your life whenever you need it.

Laugh with Friends

Going to a movie or comedy club with friends is a great way to get more laughter in your life. Having friends over for a party or game night is also a great setup for laughter and other good feelings.

Find Humor In Your Life

[35]

Instead of complaining about life's situations and frustrations, try to laugh about them. If something is so frustrating or depressing it's ridiculous, realize that you could look back on it and laugh. You will achieve the health benefits with laughter.

'Fake It Until You Make It'

Just as studies show the positive effects of smiling occur whether the smile is fake or real, faked laughter also provides the benefits mentioned above. So smile more and fake laughter; you'll still achieve positive effects, and simulate (fake) laughter first, after some time it will lead to real smiles and laughter.

Stress management
In simplest terms, stress is the opposite of relaxation. Both positive and negative aspects of life can be equally stressful. Stress comes from the external forces in our lives, ups and downs are a part of life, and it becomes easier when we understand where it comes from. It pushes our buttons and provokes extreme emotions. Stress affects our lives in different ways. It makes us feel low and not active. We mostly think of stress coming from the frustrations and low points in life but also high points and achievements can be stressful. Stress has everything to do with, the way you think, the way you work and your self esteem, work pressure and unsolved problems. Analyze what are the problems, where the work pressure is, what your thoughts are, what is necessary and what keeps your mind unnecessary occupied. Recognize de-motivation and negative thoughts and other disturbed thoughts. This will make you feel tired and a reason not to do anything. Example: Instead of telling yourself I have a poor memory change your thought in I Develop my memory more and more or make your own positive statement. Sometimes we are right in what we say to ourselves. Often, however, we are overly harsh and unjust in a way that we would never be with friends or co-workers. This, along with other negative thoughts, can cause intense stress and unhappiness and can severely damage your self-confidence All stress isnt bad. Stress can initiate change, help us focus on the task at hand. When stress builds up, it can result in the opposite and cause us to spin our wheels, keep us away from concentrating, and cause bodily injury. Negative thinking damages your performance by undermining your self-confidence. In many cases, situations do not cause all of the stress that we experience. Sometimes, our reaction to the circumstances creates all the stress. Are you keyed up, stressed, and tired? Or intensely busy and struggling to keep the focus? Stress is an early warning signal from emotions that things are not going so well and need to be changed.

Say NO at times
Saying NO, has always been a very difficult talk for most of us. As we do not like to disappoint our friends or family members. But, we never realize that we do injustice to our self whenever we want to say no, but we dont. Saying NO at time isnt bad, we can start by saying I cant or may be later. Procrastination can help you to reduce down your stress levels, but make sure to use it in intelligent way, so that you dont spoil personal relations. Sometimes we blame our self, even when its out of our control and we dont have any reason to feel guilty about the situation. Be more active in finding the why, the real reason beyond the stress factor. Ask for help or delegate some work to others when its a work related problem. Keep a habit or distributing pressure, as you cannot handle all alone.

Unleashing The Mind Power

People who have pressure Always remain stressed Their life becomes full of tension And they remain depressed Life seems a burden No dream seems to come true Brain lost in the labyrinth Where no light can come through Its time to take a break and give mind a chance To breathe in life and take out all this pressure Its time to balance responsibilities and stress To plunge in our thoughts and seek minds treasure Our mind is like a boundless ocean There are so many things yet unseen Where many paths are still untraveled The waves of the ocean seems to reach out far where they have never been The space within the boundaries of the brain is called memory, We can manage to expand it only by thinking free. The secret of memory all lies within its various levels, Sometimes it skips from alpha to beta like skipping pebbles. Those strange feelings and intuitions which we feel and ignore, They are the invisible waves which touch our minds shore. Concentration and focusing right should become the key to our inspiration, So that our mind thinks freely from the fear-seeking desperation By: Prateek Gupta

Brain waves
Our brain can produce a variety of different types of wave forms at any given time. By analyzing brain waves of some people with psychological disorders, there can be obvious flaws. Some have irregular brain wave patterns; this can be tested by the EEG (electroencephalogram)

Definitions Brain Waves Gamma Waves: 26 - 80 Hz

These waves are thought to be associated with higher level thinking, problem solving, and consciousness.

Beta Waves: 12 - 26 Hz (Awake & Outer conscious)

Beta waves are associated with high stress, high concentration, busy or anxious thinking. Our brain usually operates most of the time at Beta wave state.

Heightened concentration, and acute visual. Active and attentive. Speed reading capability. Objective and focused outside. Active problem solving.

[42]

5 senses: Seeing, Hearing, Taste, Smell & Touch.

Alpha Waves: 8 - 12 Hz (Awake & Inner conscious)

Alpha waves are seen when we are both alert and relaxed. These waves decrease with concentrated or busy activity.

Relax Body and mind. Alert and relaxed. Enhanced learning. Speed learning capability. Magnetic memory. Increase intuition and inspiration. Reaching the gateway to creativity. Visualization & Imagination process. Public Speaking Presentations. Daydreaming. Develop ESP & remote viewing. Seeing anything beyond time and space limitation.

Subjective and focused inside, intuition and creativity, relaxed, Alpha waves are the brain waves one feels when they are alert yet relaxed. An easy way to achieve the Alpha state of ten cycles per second is through the meditative process.

Theta Waves: 4 - 7 Hz (Deeper Inner Consciousness The sleepy brain waves.)

Drowsiness. Personal Library. Used for painless surgery.

Personal library
[43]

Personal library stores information related to your likes & dislikes, desires & dreams and fears & frustrations. All these things are mixed and create your Character. With changing our deeper thoughts we can change our destiny.

Delta Waves: 0.5 - 4 Hz (Deep sleep & Sub consciousness)

Delta waves are the slowest range of brain waves. They are seen in deep sleep typically during stage 3 and stage 4.

Remember and understand dreams vividly. The power of speed healing and regeneration rushes into your body. Door way to the other higher dimensions.

Alpha brain wave and Health

Increased alpha wave activity can contribute a lot in improving our health; it has shown to help with a variety of mental health issues. Increasing especially your alpha waves can also be a means of just managing stress. Zen Buddhists, biofeedback therapists, and even scientists have all sought ways to increase beneficial alpha wave activity over the years. As psychotherapy research progresses, alpha wave enhancement may become an important tool in fighting mental illness. Listen to the audio (included in the CD1) and using the 3 to 1 relaxation exercise we will get these Alpha experiences and we can retain the power during periods of deeper relaxation, while still awake; the brain waves become slower, increase in amplitude and become more synchronous. These types of alpha brain waves are often associated with states of relaxation and peacefulness during meditation and brings balance in Right and Left brain hemisphere

[44]

Benefits of Left and Right Brain Balance

We can control our brain waves to balance the left and the right brain hemispheres, which further balance our body and mind. When the left and the right brains are in balance, it also helps us reach higher levels of mind. Reaching alpha brain wave is a meditative process and result in fast relaxing, improving concentration, intuition, creativity and using more of your mind. It is the connection between the objective and subjective world where remarkable improvements for cognitive results, like effective sensory projection (ESP) and remote viewing can be experienced.

Brain wave test (EEG - Electroencephalogram) also known as Brain Machine.

EEG (Electroencephalogram) Biofeedback is based on the original work establishing the EEG signal in 1920 by Hans Burger. The EEG (electroencephalogram) displays the electrical activity of the brain. Electroencephalography, or EEG, is a neurological test that involves attaching electrodes to the head of a person to measure and record electrical activity in the brain over time. The brain waves shows whether a person is awake or sleeping. The EEG machine contains amplifiers which make these signals, or brainwaves, big enough so we can see them. The EEG is to detect abnormalities in the brain but also used by scientists for research about the different brain waves: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.

[45]

The more relaxed and drowsy you are the more theta and alpha waves you produce and can be used for mind power such as memory improvement and chance for success.

The rhythms of the brain Brain wave frequency.

Scientists have identified four basic types of brain waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta corresponding to four levels of brain activity. Interesting thing is that many people experience the unexpected and unlimited power in the brain waves. Different waves are produced according to different function in your brain. The frequency of each kind of brain wave, measured in cycles per second, is visible in graphs generated by an EEG (electroencephalogram) hooked up to a person's skull. Our brain waves are stimulated by emotions: love, desire, anxiety, stress, hate, anger, fear, calmness. In short, all the various states of the human condition. For controlling the brain waves, we should have proper control over our emotions. The interesting thing is that, many people experience the unlimited power in Alpha, Theta and Delta states, as confirmed by many scientists. Imagine the power you get once your brain switches to these stages of higher functioning. At the lowest end of the scale of possible brain-wave activity is the production of one-half cycle per second, at the highest, eighty-five cycles per second. The Alpha state - around 10 cycles per second of brain wave activity is a restful and relaxed state.

Reaching Alpha - An active dynamic meditative process

An easy way to achieve the Alpha state of ten cycles per second is through the meditative process. Alpha state improves intuition, memory, creativity and cures depression.

Alpha brain wave is used for visualization and imagination

Genius and successful people use more of their mind. They are always well connected with their alpha level.

What is visualization?
Visualization is the languages of the mind; The mind prefers to think in pictures. The better your images, the easier it becomes to see with the mind. Visualization is recalling what something looks like, which you might have experienced earlier. When you recall these pictures it comes from a previous experience which already exists.

[46]

Be creative in your visualization. Visualization can become a powerful tool to reach your targets in life. Together with positive affirmations it will become extra powerful. Example: you see with your eyes, you visualize and imagine with your mind.

What is Imagination?
Imagination is using the creativity of the mind, and determining what something looks like that you havent seen or imagined before. To create something new, imagination is used. There are many ways in which imagination can be used to our benefit, To change our habits, To create more possibilities about our work, life or your relations etc.

Conscious, Inner conscious & Sub conscious.

The Journey and discovery of our Conscious, Inner-Conscious and Sub-Conscious mind. Philosophers and psychologists like to classify our consciousness into rigid compartments: subconscious, unconscious and super conscious.

The human mind is a miraculous evolutionary development. The invisible power of our mind which possess much greater mind potential than we can ever imagine. Perhaps the most complex structure ever to exist. Most people use just 10 % of less of their mind power; the other 90% is waiting for discovery. We can unlock this hidden power of the mind through meditation and active dynamic mental exercises reaching deeper mind levels like alpha and theta brain wave, being alert and awake. The Alpha wave frequency brings us naturally in contact with the invisible power of the subconscious mind, which results in insight and answers in subtle manners; it can come in the form of thoughts or pictures to our conscious mind, which results in clarity about our self. We develop natural creativity to understand ourselves, higher awareness, healthy thoughts, intuitive knowing and taking responsibility for our own actions and interactions. Its a creative process, a play field and interaction between the conscious and subconscious mind.

Exploration of human consciousness.

Carl Jung (1875-1961) the Psychology of the unconsciousness was a Swiss psychiatrist and colleague of Freud, who broke away from Freudian psychoanalysis over the issue of the unconscious mind. Carl Jung is one of the most important, most complex, and most controversial psychological theorist. [47]

Jungian psychology focuses on establishing and fostering the relationship between conscious and unconscious processes. He believed in Effective Sensory Projection (ESP), telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, astrology, spiritualism, Jung contributed two new ones: synchronicity and the collective unconscious. Even if there were a synchronicity between the mind and the world such that certain coincidences resonate with transcendental truth, there would still be the problem of figuring out those truths. What guide could one possibly use to determine the correctness of an interpretation? There is none except intuition and insight, the same guides that led Jung's teacher, Sigmund Freud, in his interpretation of dreams.

Sub conscious
The Personal unconscious had information from the persons individuals past, and life experience also called the Personal Library There is constant interplay between both, the conscious and the unconscious. They arent separate but two aspects of a single system. Individuation is the process of developing wholeness by integrating all the various parts of the psyche. "Meaning full coincidences" are a part of synchronicity

Intuition
How to use Intuition, synchronicity and uncommon senses? How to locate the source of personal innate energy and focus on it? How to align oneself with the natural forces that swirl around? And, how to develop the intuition that fosters synchronicity?

Intuition & knowledge

How to develop your Intuitive potential to the fullest? Through exercise when you reach the alpha brainwave you will discover the remarkable ability in you and you will bring new possibilities to every decision you make. Intuition can give you insight in all areas of your life. Its a journey to self realization and to access your inner wisdom. Intuitive language transforms your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Intuition comes to use through knowing without the use of words. Devine intuition is a combination of insights with knowledge of past experiences. When we use our intuition, there is no doubt of fear, but we simple know it certainty create balance: physical, mental, emotional, financial and spiritual.

Intuitions & Insights and Where do they come from?

Flashes of insights, new ideas, inspirations, breakthrough in understanding, desires to redirect your life, a need to stop or let go of what you are doing, or a need to commit or go forward with what you are hesitant about invisible guidance from a higher Source within. It is easier to train your senses [49]

to notice your intuitive impulses if you have an understanding of where those intuitive flashes originate from. At times, it comes as a thought that walks across the mind in a natural subtle manner, when intuition comes to us in this way then Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extra sensory perception (ESP) of reality.

Intuitions & consciousness

Intuition can come as a thought, as an Insight (memory picture), as an emotion or as a feeling/sensation. When sometimes we know it feels good we are right, and when we dont feel good, its a sign to see or listen the situation careful. More times we decided to go on also when it doesnt feel good, and later we say, I knew this was going to happen. Everyone can recognize this, it happen to all of us. When we start listening carefully to our feelings, there is a silent message from our self, inner knowing from information what is stored in our Personal Mind Library, the subconscious mind and the theta level. We get the confidence to know that we can trust our Intuitions, as its a part of our inner guidance. Its not mystic its a part of us and always available. Everyone has access to their Intuitions. We develop & creatively evolve ourselves from Intuition.

Intuitive Intelligence
As we know, there are many different levels of intelligence; Intuitive intelligence is just one of them. The individual intelligence is a part of life experience, the design of our life, bring up and knowledge. Sometimes stored in the subconscious where is a strong relation between the personal subconscious and conscious, an unbreakable connection.

The function of our Intuitions can be improved by mental exercises, and it becomes as a journey (passage) through the memory and experiences within ourselves, to find the right (signal) frequency (for the points of reference stored in our personal mind library) for the answers we need.

Scientific definition of the intuition

Intuition in daytime is mostly the beta brain wave where we use analysis, logic and science. Together with logical thinking we can depend on our intuition in our everyday life.

[50]

The Power of Intuition

How to use the good feeling coming through intuitions to make better decisions for health, relationships, study and career. Use a mixture from intuitions, analysis, the inner guidance and your passion in whatever you want to do.

Sixth sense and Intuition

Besides the well-know senses like hearing, seeing, taste, smell and touch we have the 6th sense, called intuition, we all have access to our intuitions, and it becomes easier when we are relaxed. We can awaken our 6th sense through meditation or active dynamic mind exercises.

[51]

[52]

Intuition and Creativity

Intuition & Creativity can be seen as a connection/bond with our self, which walks together with us in our evolution. Intuition & creativity start as an invisible and inner sense. It reflects in the IQ test, and shows in overall intelligence.

Successful people and intuition

Successful people taking balanced risks use their intuitions; they take responsibility for their actions and are highly creative to see opportunities and new ideas.

Your unique talents

Genius or Famous people both have started the same way as everyone. Success depends on belief in yourself. You can use your own unique talents and develop them. Increase the knowledge required, believe in yourself and listen to your own desires. These things go hand in hand to give you the faith where on the end you reach the success you want and expect.

Develop the Genius in You

Geniuses use their personal creative mental power. To be or become a Genius, discover the hidden creative qualities and talents you have. They are waiting to be discovered by you!!

When you are not aware of the qualities you have, ask yourself, what is that you like to do, what where your childhood dreams and where did they go? Discover again your unique qualities; be sure you have them, but mostly not yet developed due to following common directions in life, expectations from others or inner blockages and convictions. Unfold the creativity within, recreate your life, become your own life designer. All highly creative individuals: poets, painters, composers, writers, as well as scientists, make use of intuitions, either consciously, or without being aware of the power of their subconscious mind. They all tap into a hidden source of learning and knowledge. Some great people who believed in intuitions are: Leonardo da Vinci, Beethoven, Rousseau, Tennyson, Einstein, Edison. They believed that they are derived by their intuitions to follow their dreams. You can do the same!

[53]

Intuition & deeper meaning of life

You can achieve higher consciousness. You can develop deep self awareness, Powerful intuitions and Spiritual Transformations. More balance in your life result in a richer and fuller life, Joy, inner peace and personal fulfillment.

Reality of Psychic ability

Usually people think that being a Psychic is a gift, but we all have an inborn capability to use our psychic abilities but we arent fully aware of it. Sure, you must recognize the signs written below what recognize your psychic abilities. Of course some people have it more developed then others. Earlier there was the statement extra sensory projection (ESP) But scientific research has proved that it isnt an extra sense; only some has it more develop then others. As child we were more connected with our psychic abilities, but after we started going to school and learned about the good and the bad things, how life has to be taught by people in our surrounding we build up a thought process, convictions and habits what sometimes create blockages in our way of thinking. The free mind is gone, but you can be happy that there are possibilities to re-connect yourself with your own source.

Receipt for Success

I AM I WANT I DO I BECOME

If you know
Who you are? What you want? Where are you going? How you will get there? What will you do once you arrive your goals?

Ask Yourself:
Why are you here? Do you want to be here? Where do you want to reach? Why do you want to reach there? [55]

Is this what I really want? Do I want to continue doing this with the same result? What do I care about most? Where is my heart leading me? Do I follow my Dreams and Hearts desire? Most of the time we spoil/waste our days with doing the things we dont like to do. When you do what you like to do, you will feel better about your life. You will reach new heights in your career and your personal life. Give yourself permissions to do the things what inspires you.

Attract & get whatever you want in life

To manifest the things you want in your life, you need to know about the universal Law of Attraction. This law works just like other science laws, weather you believe in them or not, they exist and they are very powerful. They cannot be broken. Suffering simply comes up when you try to ride against them. It is amazing how much time and effort you can save by riding along them. You literally collapse time when you are in the flow. The most important thing is to know how it works and how you can implement it in your day to day life. This law states that you attract whatever you put your attention to. The point of this law is to establish the creative power of thought. Whatever you put in your conscious or subconscious mind, you attract into your experience. This law is very much tied to the law of cause and effect. It is the law that establishes you as a being made in the image and likeness of the Creator, with a mind that possesses the same creative properties. Before you know that you indeed have this power, your mind will wander and raise many thoughts, some of which conflict and attack you. At this level, things such as doubt and preferences exist, for you do not think you are responsible and powerful enough to be the creator of your reality. As you watch your life and begin to see the link between your thoughts and your experiences, you become a deliberate thinker, and you no longer think negative or doubtful. You create your life purely by extension of your thoughts without doubts or conflicts. Analyze where your thoughts are flowing throughout the day. Then change your focus and use the law of Attraction. This law ensures that one way or the other; you will get whatever you want in your life This universal law of Attraction is working in your life right now, whether you are aware of it or not. You are attracting the situations, the people, the career you want and much more into your life. Once you are aware of this law and how it works, you can start to use it, to Manifest what you want into your life.

[56]

How do you unleash your desires using the powerful law? There are a few basic steps. 1. Be clear of what you want.
Clarity of your desires is one of the most important steps in manifesting what you want. For some, this process may be difficult or frustrating. For others, the process of getting clear about their vision comes easily.

2. Visualize and raise your vibration & focus about your goals.
If you dont like where you are, change your thoughts, change your attitude and change your beliefs. You cannot manifest what you want when you have a negative attitude. You wont attract what you want if you are unkind to people or if you are mean, angry or treat people rudely. Treat others with kindness and respect and you will manifest abundance in every area of your Life.

Create a clear picture of your wishes and desires. Create a positive belief. Create a positive mind set. Create an Abundance mind set. Write your goals on a piece of paper, and always keep in front of you.

3. Allow yourself to manifest your desires.

Allow what you want to come to you by saying yes to Prosperity and Abundance and enjoy the journey through life. Change your thought from I cant to how I can?. Invite your desires, to great relationships, a healthy body, work you love to do. Visualize a picture of yourself doing all those things you like to do. And start enjoying it. Soon you will see your life changing. Change your focus is to identify what you want, get into the feeling of having it and then allow it to flow by holding your focus there. Have faith and patience that you are going to reach there. Let your emotions guide you. How do you know if you're allowing it the right way? Notice how you feel, if you feel good and happy, you are going in the right direction.

4. Use your Desire to take inspired actions.

Use your creativity to take the right actions at the right time. Make a to do list.

5. Belief, Desire and Faith.

Believe in yourself. Have a strong desire in what you want in your life. Expect that it is going to happen and enjoy from that feeling.

By now you must understanding more about the Law of Attraction. Whatever you are focused on something you attract it. When you feel you cannot get it nor do it, you push it away.

[57]

When you say yes to something, you attract more of that into your life, because that is what you are focused on. When you say no to something, you attract more of that into your life, because that is what you are focused on. In order to allow what you want to flow to you, you must allow others to focus on what they want even if you don't agree with it.

Your thoughts are your reality!!

[58]

[59]

The Pitfalls
Pitfalls are reasons and excuses which keep you away from reaching your goals. Think again! What are your deeper convictions?

Focus
This will help You Find Your Focus: Do you have a lot of things to do and no idea where to start from? Create a priority list, a to do list. Make a step by step plan which leads you to the right direction. Ask yourself How am I going to do it? Create a mini action plan for each item. Write down the steps you'll need to take, to make it happen. How often do you make choices after asking yourself Why you are doing this? This question requires a CHOICE to be made. Would you like to work smarter or harder? Concentrate and focus at one thing at a time, you will get more done in shorter time duration.

Your actions affect your goals

Ask yourself: In the big picture of my life what purpose does this action serve?" Make better choices for your life, your actions follow your goals, start leading your life instead of letting your life lead you.

How can I do it?

Inspire yourself to TAKE ACTION. Nothing happens without it. In order to create the life you want, you have to give your dreams, heart and spirit a voice and space in your life. However, this alone won't make things happen. You have to channel all these things into a clear course of action. You have to define a Purpose, why you are doing it? Make a commitment to yourself that you have to reach there. Create a virtual drive. Control your Impulses from making unimportant and irrelevant phone calls, checking unimportant mails, watching TV and many more activities which affect your concentration. [60]

Set goals for yourself with a reasonable time limit, be realistic, believe in yourself, solve the problems at the root level, do all the required things and the success will be a follow. Give yourself recognition in the form of a gift, a movie or an outing with friends or relatives.

Motivation and procrastination

Most people procrastinate, that is, put off tasks until "tomorrow". They probably believe that tomorrow they will feel like doing it. Sometimes this is true. But what happens when tomorrow comes and they still say, "They will do some other things before they get started." But after they've done other things, new things come up in their mind and they again postpone the important tasks. Like making a phone call, inviting a friend to come over or go out. This is how procrastination works, and mostly it happen often. What can you do and how do you avoid this habit? Ask yourself, why you are procrastinating. Change this habit. It can be easy when you recognize that what you do it and it is the first step to change. Your lack of interest in the study topic or work to do. You are not sure about what to do. You have the conviction that you never do "very well" with this kind of task. You really want this to be an excellent piece of work and are afraid that you can't perform?

There can possibly be some other reason. Give yourself a clear and honest answer. Analyze your inner fears which can be Fears for failure or Fears for success!!
Activity: Now ask yourself: what do I do with my time when I am supposed to study? Again, try to be specific in the questions you ask and your answers.

Results of procrastinating You can probably come up quickly with a list of these.

Your time is wasted. You become full of Stress. You can't relax. You cant concentrate. When you finally do study you don't have time to do it properly There may be adverse effect on friends and family members. You may have to work throughout the night to complete the work. You let yourself down because you don't produce your best. You may miss deadlines and lose marks. You might end up failing.

[61]

Recognizing procrastination
If you recognize that procrastination is a problem, you must find ways to change it. Being a procrastinator is not a character trait but a learned behavior that you can unlearn, with some effort. There are different kinds of procrastinators. Think back to the question about why you put off certain tasks. Recognize why you procrastinate your tasks. It can help you to change.

Are you a perfectionist?

Are you a perfectionist, reluctant to start or finish a task because you might not achieve your unrealistically high standard? You must accept that no piece of work is perfect. It's better to complete a good enough piece of work on time, than dream of the perfect piece that you will never achieve.

Recognize last minute adrenalin

Are you a crisis maker who actually "enjoys" declaring that you can't get motivated until the last moment? Think about what you are doing to yourself and those around you.

Tips to improve your concentration and motivation

When thoughts keep coming what have to be done and have nothing to do with your study, ask yourself can I do something at the moment to change these things? You can solve this through:

Relaxation Meditation Take short breaks Change your thoughts into positive Motivate yourself with positive affirmations one thing at a time avoid procrastinations

Sometimes we dont feel like concentrating and we starting doing something else then what we are supposed to do. Thats a part of procrastination! Realize that it takes a long time before you finally complete something you are not working on. If something can be done right now about the things which occupy your mind, take action and do them. If nothing can be done about these things, then try to push those thoughts away for a while and try to concentrate and focus fully on the topic to learn or read.

[62]

Next Steps
Now is the time to act. Don't leave it until tomorrow but decide right now on how you are going to tackle one task that you have been putting off. Time management can help you to deal with procrastination. If you are putting off things to do there are other things that you genuinely should be doing you need to make a plan to find more time

Dreams & Action

"The Dream is not what you see in sleep, Dream is the thing which does not let you sleep." Dr. A P J Kalam President of India.

The Power of Opposites related to mind/brain balance.

All things have their opposites. This is because we live in a world of opposites, and if you take one away, we have a incorrect balance in our mind. When there is only the left brain without the

right brain there isnt balance at all and in our today life we see the follow of it. Daily life is full with High stress levels mixed together with doubt, guilt, fears and anger and far away of faith. (Being in a left brain only) In each pair of opposites, each part is dependent on the other for its existence, like good makes no sense without bad, day is meaningless without night, for the brain/mind it means the same. How to be Happy & have abundant life
Human Emotions and related feelings like happiness & unhappiness are opposites. Understanding that everything physical is in a state of change, moving between polarities and natural laws, is a door to eternal happiness. Each emotion has a vibration of his own; a good feeling gives a positive vibration and increase the energies level and invite to do action, other feelings gives a negative vibration and decrease the energies, low feeling and negatives thoughts have easier access to the person and reduce the self esteem.

More opposites.

Faith & Believe

The definition of faith is a mix from trust, believe and confidence. Faith is to believe what you cant see. How much faith does it take to believe in reaching what you want in life? Faith is what can be experienced as a good feeling and a trust in that everything will be fine, without any doubt.

Guilt
Guilt is one of the basic human emotions which gives a feeling of low self esteem. Feelings of guilt can be an everyday fact of life, recognize the source and analyze if there is a real reason for guilt or someone told you something bad, which makes you feel guilty about. Guilt is a reaction from thinking or doing something wrong. After all its your emotions which let you feel like this; say, you feel guilty about something and cant forgive yourself. If you can take some corrective action, take it. Else let that feeling of guilt go away. We all have sometimes to do with the feeling of guilt, the difference is that some people easier can release these feelings and let them go and look at it as a lesson they have learnt. Others keep continuing with blaming themselves for the mistake they have done.

[65]

Doubt

"If you want to change your life, change your thinking!"

Famous Quote

Doubts and fears are the voices and thoughts of our mind which tells us that we will never succeed. When we are full with doubt and fears we can never accomplish anything in life. It always leads to failure or not even starts anything new in life. Free yourself from the limiting beliefs, take love as example, love is a great feeling, the moment that doubt and fears comes in, we feel uncertainty which follows to our emotions going down to a exceptional low point. Fear has its roots in doubt, its better to filter these upcoming thoughts and feelings and recognize the unnecessary thoughts from doubt and fears; the mind dwells on them and we experiences unrealistic fear and doubt. Sometimes a little doubt and fear is good thing, analyze the situation, recognize their existence and realize that even though you may doubt or have fears, it doesn't mean that you are going to make the wrong decision. Freedom from doubt: Self-esteem is the idea that we have about ourselves. It is how much you value yourself and how important you think you are. Break your own limits; Think good about yourself, without any doubt.

Fears - The invisible enemies

Fears are Basic Human emotions like: Fears for success. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of the unknown. Fear of isolation. Fear of death. Fear of the loss Its all to do with your invisible enemy Fear. Fear is like a virus. Fears are human emotions, once fear enters your mind; it spreads like a destructive virus and influence your life. Its a fast growing enemy and most creative together with imagination which has the follow of developing more stress, anxiety and depression, and on the end when we look back, it was not necessary to spoil our daily life, but its already a fact, we did. We are creative human beings, and story thinkers. We think of what all bad can happen, and we let the fears develop in ourselves. [66]

A story goes like this: Next week an important interview! Fears and, worries make a start automatically, when its about a job, you desperately want and the mind starts automatically acting in a silly way, what all they can ask? And from now on two way conversations starts in mind, the negative self talk, what to say? How to show them how good you are? The self talk that possibly you arent good enough, or dont have the right qualities. Days are wasted by thinking about this including the sleepless nights and tension. Now look at the opposite side, why should you waste your time and days thinking about this? Or change this habit of negative self talk, when you have done everything you have to do, and then just say, Im going to get this job, thats all. Remember that there cant be something else in your mind as you are focused and your mind is full till the next week meeting and these days are lost. Then we have the fears to lose the safety and the security and we make the choice for a secure life, a life where you know what tomorrow brings and a life without risk, the happiness level is low and not much of excitement and challenge to get a fulfilling life.

You dreamt of a different life, the wishes, the goals, but fears and disbelieve in yourself keeps you away from reaching there. When we dont get what we want, we try to convince ourselves that its only for others and not for us. Fears take us away from wonderful opportunities in our daily lives. Fears succeed in ruining Dreams, opportunities and ambitions Is a true saying, now let us look how we can change Fears into a positive direction, solve the problem behind the fears. There are so many wonderful and positive things to focus on, the miracles, the small things, the smiles, kind words, singing birds and the sunrise, the more you focus on these things, you will feel happier. If some situation makes u get fears, analyze it and see if you can do something to improve the situation. If not, then try to ignore the situation by changing your concentration to some other thing.

Anger
People often try to mask their fears with anger; the key is to replace fear with faith, belief in yourself and the power of the good. Underneath a persons anger theres often another emotion, such as hurt or guilt. To work and dissolve this emotion it will give confidence and refuel your energy.

What Is Anger?
We have lots of emotions. At different times, you may be happy, sad, hurt or feeling guilty. Anger is just another way we feel. It's perfectly normal and a human emotion to be angry at times, in fact, it's important to get angry sometimes. But anger must be released in the right way.

What can make you feel angry?

There can be more things what makes you angry. You may get angry when something doesn't go the way you want. Possible you feel anger when others dont understand you or your sport team loses an important game or you have lost an important project. Also frustration can lead to anger. Others who tease you or call you names can make you angry. Or you might get angry with situations if you think one of the things what happen are unfair. Worst of all is when you are blamed for something you didn't do. But it's also possible to get angry and not even know why. Everyone has different ways they feel or express their emotions. Usually your body will tell you when you are angry. Your face becomes red, your muscles can feel tension or you want to break something or hit someone? Anger can make you yell or scream at those around you, even people you like or love. Some people hold their anger deep inside which can give headache or stomach problem as a follow. Sometimes crying is a good way to release the anger. Find a way to understand where the anger comes from without hurting yourself and others. Sometimes we keep our anger inside because we dont want to make trouble. But that just seems to make us feel worse.

Anger Management techniques: Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry:

Going for a brisk walk is a great way to work off anger. Talk to a friend you can trust on. Develop realistic expectations of yourself and others. Count 1 to 10 slowly, and try to calm yourself down. Make the choice to stay in shape. Get or give a hug. Turn complaints in to requests. Do jumping jacks or other exercises. Learn problem solving technique. Start smiling about the situation. [69]

Play a video game. Let your anger pass and start practicing forgiveness. Sing along your favorite song. Think good thoughts or recall beautiful moments of your life. Take a hike in the mountains.

Don't let anger control you. It will lower your energy levels and as a result you will feel physically and mentally tired, from the whole situation. Anger makes most situations worse than better. Anger can be powerful and managing it sometimes can be challenging. It asks for awareness and control to manage angry feelings. These skills take time to develop. Awareness is the ability to notice what youre feeling and thinking, and why. When we look at small kids they arent very aware of what they feel, they just react it out in their behavior. But adults have the mental ability to be more self aware. When you get angry, take a moment to notice what youre feeling and thinking. Control is about thinking before you react. It puts some precious seconds or minutes between feeling a strong emotion and taking an action. We all are unique; each of us has our own terms of anger. Sometimes we express it in a way that feels good in the moment, but afterwards it can create more problems. Take the chance to know more about yourself and improve relationships with other people. Remember: For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Strengthen Your Mind Power through Relaxation

Use your Alpha brain wave frequently, this will reduce the frequency of your mind and will help you relax in a short time. 1. Visualize what you dont want in your life and delete it from your mind. 2. Then visualize what you want, imagine the goals, exam results or job promotion. Expect it to happen with a strong believe and an inner knowing. After being in the asking mood, you have to switch to the receiving mood to manifest the things you want. Ask and its given is a famous saying, but you cant receive when you are focused on what you dont have. Using your Alpha brain wave frequency, you will be more focused and will feel comfortable and confident about the results. It is important to think about what you want and focus only on the expected result.

The Universe A Living Being

When I climbed up the stairs in my brain, When I left behind all the tension and strain, I felt I was a creator, The creator of the world. I entered the dimensions never entered before, I wanted to explore this world more and more. It was then when I realized that the world is all within me I could make it into what I imagine and feel The world is nothing but an energy ball It is what I think and feel inside my brains wall. The intuitions and strange senses which we feel, Is just some kind of unknown energy and not real. There is no boundary to experiment with your brain, You can either empty it all or fill it up with tensions and strain. Trying to understand reality, I went on climbing up, Just to find myself loosing connection with the surrounding and getting attached with the inner world. On every level, I felt different, gaining knowledge as I climbed the stair, I found that brain wasnt any donkeys shed but was a lions lair. Every level had something new to teach me, We can shape up this entire universe as we want if we think free. Freedom from restricting thoughts and trepidation, This is the only way to remain happy and attain salvation. Everything we have been feeling around us and have been seeing, It has been happening in this Universe - A Living Being. By: Prateek Gupta

Positive thinking, actions and affirmations

Supervise especially your thoughts, because it is they which determine your life" Old Testament Create everything You Want, Seemingly out of Thin Air There is a science that deals with manifesting desires. Many people regard it as mystical or esoteric, but it's actually a science like physics or algebra. There are certain immutable laws that govern the process of materializing wishes seemingly out of thin air, and once these laws are complied with, anyone can make their dreams a reality, with absolute certainty. Does this sound like fantasy for you? Emile Cou, (1857 1926) the 19th century French professor and Master Hypnotist, became a pioneer of affirmation techniques, curing hundreds of patients by teaching his patients to repeat the following affirmation each morning and evening: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." Using this affirmation alone, the healing results were nothing less than amazing.

[72]

Affirmations have long been recognized as a powerful tool in manifesting desires. That's because the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between actual reality and suggestions. Therefore, it processes suggestions (or affirmations) as being real and goes about using its powerful creative ability and that of the nervous system to actualize those affirmations. For this reason, people from all walks of life, from sport coaches, to sales professionals, promote the practice of affirmations. Affirmations are powerful in and of themselves. But now, imagine multiplying the power of affirmations exponentially so that the results would not only be faster, but would also manifest your desires in record time.

Why doesn't everyone use Affirmations?

They do! It has been demonstrated that nearly 90% of our thoughts are negative, no wonder we find ourselves struggling. Each negative thought or word is a negative affirmation and these nasty little beasts can be even more powerful than positive affirmations because we often find them easier to accept. It is these negative thoughts that feed and validate our negative internal beliefs. Under this kind of negative bombardment most people simply do not have the strength to break free of their negative thoughts and become hopelessly locked into their own (usually false) negative beliefs.

Recognize negative self affirmations

Before we can use the powerful tool of positive affirmations, we need to learn about the effects of negative self talk in our lives.

Negative self affirmations can be:

Negative beliefs you have about yourself and of which you remind yourself daily. Negative statements about yourself which sprinkle your everyday conversation. Negative descriptions given to you by teachers, friends and family members when you were younger onto which you hold even to this day.

[79]

Negative feedback you get from your teacher, boss, colleagues, relatives, or others that you take personally and incorporate into your personal belief system. Negative self-images you have of your body, looks, weight, coloring, face or other parts of your body, which as you visualize, influence your presentation of self to others. Stop talking about negative stories about your past failures, behavior, dont focus on this, use the experiences for better decisions and focus on it. Negative attitudes toward the possibility of your achievement of success in your life influence your motivation, effort, and drive to reach your goals.

Dont wait for recognition of your worth or goodness, recognize your own beauty and your qualities.

The outcome of negative affirmations includes:

Over-dependence on the approval of others. Lack of self-esteem and low self-concept. Creator of own life drama. Feeling of being a victim of every circumstance. High Stress level. Negativity. Pessimism. Self-Pity. Cynicism. Fulfillment of the Prophecy. Depression.

Positive affirmations are designed to challenge those negative beliefs and start to stem the flow of negative thoughts and words that seek to validate them. Affirmations are more than just repeating words. It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life, choosing to think and project happy positive thoughts. The more you can consciously inject the spirit of you affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you.

You can create your own affirmations

Start by taking some time to think about areas in your life you would like to improve and how you might want your life to be. It is worth taking some time over this process. Write the most important ones down in a list. Now look at each item on the list and write out a few positive statements for each. They must be positive and in the present tense, focus on what you want and not on, what you don't want. Creating your own affirmations is the perfect way to get the right affirmations for you. Try to make some different affirmations that will give you a idea on how they should look and feel. Making positive affirmations a daily practice strengthens your inner foundation and gives more confidence. 1. Begin your affirmation always with "I". [80]

2. Put your affirmation in the present tense as of its already a fact. 3. Make the affirmation meaningful to you. Make it short. 4. Use the affirmation and repeat it mentally as using your voice, the more you practice the stronger it becomes. 5. Use visualization for a clear vision together with the positive affirmation. See yourself in the picture and the results will be amazing. 6. Write down the affirmations and remember the statements. 7. Repeat the affirmations often. The more often you say positive affirmations the more they become a part of you. 8. Make them funny, laugh and enjoy yourself with them. A common error many people make when they begin doing affirmations expecting the affirmations will do all the work, and nothing else to be done by themselves, it will become clear what you have to do, do what have to be done and practice patience as not everything happen instantly.

SUCCESS! Your Birth Right

Success does not depend on good or bad luck; its about being creative, changing thoughts, changing actions and believe in Your Self.
Success is not an accident. It begins with a well organized plan. You can and will achieve more in the next year than you have in the past ten with a disciplined Personal Strategic Plan.

You can turn your life around. You can live the life you want. You can achieve your goals. Eliminated the negative thoughts, stop worrying and tell yourself A lot of great things are happening in my life now.
Follow your passion, build relationships and surround yourself with people who are positive, open minded and share your vision. Are you not sure about your passion and hearts desire? If you don't think you have a passion or if you haven't discovered your passion yet. Then find out answer for this question: What would you do if you had everything you wanted in life? When you answer that question you have discovered your passion. Start doing it today and you will be following your passion. Start believing in yourself, believe in your passion and believe that you can achieve all your goals and more.

Develop Your Intuition (ESP, also known as 6th sense)

Successful businesspeople use it. Successful people share one quality: they listen to their intuition. Its practical intuition and we all have it. See your intuition as a power tool which is always with you. Our natural sense of intuition is real whether we want to accept it or not. Near the common 5 senses like hearing, seeing, taste, smell, and touch we have the 6th sense called the Intuition. Scientific research have proved that we can develop our intuition through meditation, inner silence and using the alpha brainwave exercise which creates more insights, clarity and understanding about one self. Earlier it was recognized as an extra sense (extra sensory perception), but by now we know that its not extra but everyone has it, and its changed into effective sensory projection (ESP). Every one use their intuition, but not everyone has developed in the same way. As child we used more of our intuitions, now when we have become an adult, due to hectic life and stress we are mostly disconnected from our intuitions. Sometimes it comes up in the form of an insight or knowing but we dont trust it anymore, we try to analyze it and take another decision. And later we tell ourselves, I knew it. (Its simple; we didnt listen to our inner voice called intuition). Many times we take decisions with the use of our intuition without realizing it. Intuition is a part of inner guidance which is always available; we really can't do without intuition. Its an important part of us, like all other senses. Being aware that you are never alone, gives you faith in all your daily actions. Finding the direction in your life with the use of intuition, awakens your intuition more and more, makes your life more meaningful and you will attract more coincidence and take better decision in every part of your life. Think of someone you know who is successful in life. They are mostly creative, relaxed and full with creative ideas; they see a new opportunity in everything. They enjoy life and most of the people like there company. Intuition may come as a through, feelings, words, physical sensations, images, fleeting impressions, or dreams. Pay attention and listen careful when you sense these impressions. Ask yourself mental questions and hear the subtle message from your inner guidance. Intuition can be your guide in any situation, learn the language of your intuition.

Building a positive attitude for Success

Building on a positive attitude to succeed is a repeating cycle. Fill your mind with positives. Affirm yourself with motivation. Think only good things about people. Speak in a positive way to others. Develop more patience. Start listening with more attention to others. Affirmations should always be positive and think of it as its already a fact. [83]

Few important Rules to create your own happiness

Enjoy the things you like to do. Avoid the things you dont like. If you dont like a thing, and you cant avoid it, change it. If you dont like a thing, cant avoid it, and cant or will not change it, accept it. You accept a thing by changing your attitude and your point of view towards it.

Powerful success rules for achieving your full potential

A Great success principle is "learn from the experts".

If you want to be a big success in any area, find out what other successful people in that area are doing, and do the same things, until you get the same results and then improve it. Successful people have one quality in common. They all are "extremely well organized." They use their time very well. They are highly productive and they get vastly more done in the same period of time than the average person.

Be Effective and Efficient.

High performing people are both effective and efficient. They do the right things, in the right way and at the right time. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality and quantity of their output. As a result, their contribution to their life and business/organizations are vastly higher than the average person.

Improve your communication skills

Communication is an important skill, ask yourself, why dont people understand me?, or why people dont understand my question?. Why every discussion turns into an argument? To express your ideas clearly, good communication skills are important. Be sure the listener understands what you want to say, be clear and explain the context. Stay positive and listen actively

A Journal helps you work through challenges and opportunities without the fear of social consequences. You can journal about things that you don't want to discuss with friends or family. A journal taps into your unconscious mind and thoughts become clearer. Ultimately, this connection can reduce stress and keep you focused on whats important in your life. A journal helps you to solve problems. Write down a problem and your related feelings and emotions, use your alpha frequency and brainstorm for possible solutions. A journal is a great way to become creative. Start with a blank page. Experiment with ideas that on the surface would seem far outside the possibility. A journal is a time investment with yourself. For this you dont need to have writing skills or talents, just the intention to write when you feel like it. You will have the benefits from this self expression and self insights about your thoughts and feelings. A journal allows you to visualize, and completely comprehend the activities needed to reach your success. A journal shows you the processes. It gives clues on how you think, learn, create and use your intuitions. A journal makes you able to focus and be more clear about your desires, needs as well as it helps you to prioritize values from make a good decision and improve the quality of living. A journal allows you to connect your goals and dreams to paper, which gives you the opportunity to visualize the outcomes in advance of how to take action. Writing a journal creates more results in life by helping you to identify your goals and create detailed action plans for their achievement. The more professional your journal looks, the more likely you are to bring it with you everywhere. There are various journal types and formats, like learning journals, diaries, dream book, log, autobiographies, Life Stories, and Memoirs, spiritual journals and professional journals. You can choose one of them or use more journals for a different purpose.

Introduction Be Inquisitive Always ask questions to yourself Quality not Time Practice gives confidence Speedy Reading Defeating the Decay of Memories Presentation Skills Examiners Mentality How to work and study efficiently? Special Study Tips Work & Study Environment Counseling

Introduction
This chapter is specially written, keeping students in mind and how they can improve their results. How they can use their mind more efficiently to learn faster & more effectively. This chapter will take the scientific approach to explain several concepts and how they can be more effective for you. At the end of this chapter you would be able to know how you can learn more in less time, retain study topics for a longer time and also how u can get better results in exams.

[90]

Be Inquisitive:I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive. Albert Einstein Exactly how the above quote explains, the only way to learn something new is to be Inquisitive about it. This is itself the most important talent. We are sure you might have heard of some people, who are very good at studies, sports, GK Quizzes and much more at the same time. Have you ever wondered how they can do all that in so less time? Well, the answer is: they are Inquisitive about those things. The secret behind this is, whenever you have strong desire of learning something or simply doing something, your brain automatically starts working in the most efficient way. Moreover whatever you learn with an inquisitive mind, always stay in your brain. This is why we recommend, a student should ask more and more questions, no matter how silly they sound. Remember A person, who asks a question, is stupid once, but who never ask is stupid for lifetime.(Famous quotation). In fact, once you establish the habit of asking more questions, youll discover several interesting things: Many times people use jargon or indirect speech to cover up a lack of knowledge or conviction about a project or task. By asking the "Silly" question you'll uncover their lack of comfort about the task or find out how to get more information to accomplish it. Many times other people in the meeting or classroom will approach you afterwards to thank you for asking the question they weren't willing to ask. The assumption we tend to make as humans is that everyone else is perfectly aligned and in the know, and for some reason we as individuals have been left out of the discussion. Quite often I find that very few people are actually in the know and many people leave meetings or classrooms confused as to their priorities and goals because they won't ask a "Silly" question in the meeting or classroom. A "Silly" question will help you clarify your goals and responsibilities quickly - and that's what we really want, isn't it? To have clear goals confirmed by our manager or our team and to wipe away any uncertainties as to who is doing what, when. If you leave a meeting without that knowledge, you've wasted your time.

Always ask questions to yourself

Thats another trick for getting maximum work done through your mind. Whenever you are not sure of anything, just ask yourself, how does this happen? Or why this? Or How can this be done? The secret behind this technique is, when u say you dont know something the brain doesnt respond you with any answer but when u twist it in the form of a question, like how does this work? it indirectly signals your subconscious mind to find out a solution automatically. Then your subconscious mind starts looking for possible solutions from all the possible sources automatically, and you arrive the solution sooner that you can think of. So, make it a habit of describing every problem in the form of a question, and you will find your intelligence grow in a miraculous way.

[91]

Quality not Time

A lot of people fix up there study time every day. Example, they want to study from 10-12 in the morning or say, 5-7 in the evening time. Its good to fix up the time, but the only problem with it is, it send a negative signal to your mind. It tells your brain that no matter what happens, you have to spend 2 or say 3 hours on your study table or whichever place you study. But its the minds tendency that it tries to pass most of the time in the least efficient way (or comfortable way) and in that allotted time limit you do not cover most of your study. On the contrary if you fix up quantity limit instead of the time, which sends a positive signal to your mind. That no matter how much time it takes, less or more, you have to finish your set quantity limit. And your mind tries to finish the fixed amount of targets as soon as possible, or in other words in the most efficient way. You can also fix time keeping in mind the targets to be covered in that time. But the only change you have to make is, do not fix the minimum time, always fix the maximum time. That means if you have decided certain study targets to be covered in 3 hours and you do it in 2.5 hours, immediately leave your studies and take some free time. Lets try to understand this more clearly with a real life example. Say, you have to make a child study for one day. And the target for the child is to cover one chapter. Method one: Fix his time limit (1 hour). It is possible that even after one hour of study he wont be able to finish his chapter. Or even if he does he would sit there for one hour just to show you that he is studying. Or maybe he would slow down his speed according to the time left. Method two: Fix his study limit (one chapter) and tell him, after he finishes it he will be allowed to go for Play. This time, the child would try to finish the chapter (study limit) as fast as possible because, if he finishes it early he would get some extra playing time. And he would probably finish it in just half an hour this time, and that to in more efficient way. This is exactly how our mind works when we give it the study target. Just to avail that extra free time, our mind starts working more efficiently and tries to finish the targets quickly. Try to implement this technique in your study for a few days, and you will find a drastic change in your study efficiency and your overall learning process.

Practice gives confidence

The more you practice, the more you feel confident. Do you remember your first bike or bicycle ride? After more and more practice your confidence would have grown. Well, same thing happens with all the things in life; weather its public speaking, performance in office or at school exams and even in personal relations. The more you experience, the more you learn. Which ultimately leads to confidence.

Speedy Reading The Eye and its Movements

In order to understand how we read and how reading may be improved, we must first look a little at how the eye works. Light entering the eye is focused by the lens onto the retina, which lines the inside of the eye. The retina itself consists of hundreds of millions of tiny cells responsive to light. Some cells respond to specific colors; others to the overall light intensity. These cells are connected to a web of nerves extending over the retina, which relay information to the visual cortex. The centre of the retina, called the fovea, is a small area in which the cells are much more tightly packed, so that the perception of images falling on the fovea is much sharper and more detailed than elsewhere on the retina. When we focus our attention on something, the light from that item is focused onto the fovea this is called a fixation. A reader's eyes do not move over print in a smooth manner. If they did, they would not be able to see anything, because the eye can only see things clearly when it can hold them still. If an object is still, the eye must be still in order to see it, and if an object is moving, the eye must move with the object in order to see it. When you read a line, the eyes move in a series of quick jumps and still intervals. The jumps themselves are so quick as to take almost no time, but the fixations can take anywhere from a quarter to one and a half seconds. At the slowest speeds of fixation a student's reading speed would be less than one hundred word per minute. Thus the eye takes short gulps of information. In between it is not actually seeing anything; it is moving from one point to another. We do not notice these jumps because the information is held over in the brain and integrated from one fixation to the next so that we can perceive a smooth flow.

The eye is rarely still for more than half a second. Even when you feel the eye is completely still (as when you look steadily at a fixed point such as the following comma), it will in fact be making a number of small movements around the point. If the eye were not constantly shifting in this way, and making new fixations, the image would rapidly fade and disappear. The untrained eye takes about a quarter of a second at each point of fixation, so it is limited to about four fixations per second.

[93]

Each fixation of an average reader will take in two or three words, so that to read a line on this page probably takes between three and six fixations. The duration of the stops and the number of words taken in by each fixation will vary considerably, depending on both the material being read and the individual's reading skill. Although the sharpest perception occurs at the fovea, images that are off-centre are still seen, but less clearly. This peripheral vision performs a most valuable function during reading. Words that lie ahead of the current point of fixation will be partially received by the eye and transmitted to the brain. This is possible because words can be recognized when they are in peripheral vision and the individual letters are too blurred to be recognized. On the basis of this slightly blurred view of what is coming, the brain will tell the eye where to move to next. Thus the eye does not move along in a regular series of jumps, but skips redundant words and concentrates on the most significant (useful and distinguishing) words of the text. Immediate memory span depends on the number of 'chunks' rather than the information content. When we read, we can take in about five chunks at a time. A chunk may be a single letter, a syllable, a word, or even a small phrase the easier it is to understand, the larger will be the chunks. In the case of a skilled reader, the fixation points tend to be concentrated towards the middle of a line of print. When the eye goes to a new line, it does not usually start at the beginning, instead it starts a word or two from the edge. The brain has a good idea of what is to come from the sense of the previous lines and only needs to check with peripheral vision that the first few words are as anticipated. Similarly, the eye usually makes its last fixation a word or two short of the end of a line, again making use of peripheral vision to check that the last few words are as expected. The rhythm and flow of the faster reader will carry him comfortably through the meaning, whereas the slow reader will be far more likely to become bored and lose the meaning of what he is reading. A slow reader, who pauses at every word and skips back reading the same word two or three times, will not be able to understand much of what he reads. By the end of a paragraph the concept is lost, because it is so long since the paragraph was begun. During the process of re-reading, his ability to remember fades, and he starts doubting his ability to remember at all. There is a dwindling spiral of ability. The person re-reads more, then loses more trust in his memory and finally concludes that he doesn't understand what he is reading. When a person is reading rapidly, he is concentrating more, and when he can raise his speed of reading above about 500 w.p.m. with maximum comprehension, he is also speeding up his thinking. New depths of the brain become readily accessible. In addition, accelerated reading can reduce fatigue. Faster reading improves comprehension, because the reader's level of concentration is higher, and there is less cause for him to develop physical tensions such as a pain in the neck or a headache. A further benefit is the improvement of the completeness of thought. Example, try watching a 90 minute video tape in 9 ten-minute sections; comprehension will be much less than it would be had the video been presented in its entirety.

[94]

There is an optimum reading speed for maximum comprehension, which is proportional to your top speed. This rate will vary from one type of material to another and finding the best rate for the material you are reading is critical for good comprehension.

Sub Vocalizations & the Thought-Stream

There are two types of reading: the first type is a compulsive speaking aloud of words as they are read. This may be at an inaudible and sub-conscious level, but is nevertheless expressing perceived words in equivalent movements of the tongue. We call this process 'sub vocalization'. The second type we call as 'thought-stream', and this is consists of understanding and imagery only, with no vocal or sub vocal expression. Generally speaking, sub vocalization is unnecessary to the adult reader, except perhaps when reading poetry (in which case rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration are an important component, and so sub vocalization may be more enjoyable when poetry is read silently). However, sub vocalization limits the maximum reading speed to about 300 w.p.m. +/- 20%. In contrast, a trained reader may read at more than 1000 w.p.m. with a pure thought-stream. A thought-stream is essential for full understanding. Although, it may be possible to read light material such as a novel, without using a thought-stream at all. The thought-stream is particularly important when reading abstract material that cannot be easily visualized, and when long and complicated sentence constructions are used. Before a student can learn to let go of sub vocalization without at the same time suppressing inner speech altogether, he has to learn to differentiate between sub vocalization and the thoughtstream. Most people will experience sub vocalization as being connected with the mouth or the throat, and also the breath. When asked to attend to it fully, a person will tend to look down. The thought-stream will be experienced more in the top of the head, without connection to the vocal organs or breathe; it is a kind of thought awareness, based on an understanding of the stream of words being read. Differentiation between the two types of reading may be achieved through the following steps: Step 1: Choose a page from a light novel. Easily understood material is required because even when a person is reading something that he finds difficult to comprehend, there will be a tendency to revert to sub vocalization, when a phrase or sentence containing unfamiliar or foreign words is presented. Unfamiliar words can only be held in mind either by having extremely good powers of auditory visualization or by rehearsing them sub vocally. Note: If you find yourself suddenly sub vocalizing when you would otherwise use thought-stream, this is a strong indication that you have just gone past a word that is misunderstood, or a group of words forming a concept that does not make sense. Misunderstood words should each be defined and then the concept re-evaluated. Step 2: Count out loud from one to ten repeatedly, whilst reading the page silently using thoughtstream. Counting out loud will occupy the motor-vocal system; so that the mind is unable to sub vocalize.

[95]

It might be difficult in the starting but you can surely do it with some practice. Step 3: When you are able to read silently whilst counting out loud, then begin to read silently using thought-stream and to count silently at the same time using sub-vocalization. An alternative method to counting is to say or sub vocalizes a repeated "Aaaa...aaa...aaa..." which has the same effect of occupying the vocal-motor system. Get plenty of practice with Steps 2 & 3, so that this skill is fully acquired and you can easily recognize the difference between 'spoken' sub vocalization and the thought stream. Step 4: Once you can read silently whilst counting silently, begin to increase your reading speed. When your reading speed exceeds 360 w.p.m., the two types of subjective reading will become more differentiated. By using thought stream you can read much faster, whereas sub vocalization is limited by the speed of motoric response. Step 5: Now that you can easily read with thought-stream, leaving behind any sub vocalization, it is time to add more character to the inner speech, so that it is not just a silent stream of thought but is also a stream of visualization. Image the dialogue of the novel, adopting different voices in your inner speech to suit the characters. This should further differentiate your thought-stream from Sub vocalization, which would always tend to be a reflection of your own voice. At the same time, visualize the scenarios of the story, hear the environmental sounds, smell all the various scents, and feel the emotions portrayed. Continue with the above exercises until you have a understanding about the two types of reading (sub vocalized and thought-stream) and can choose between them. This approach is better than trying to suppress sub vocalization altogether. By suppressing both types of subjective reading, one can learn to skim at more than 2000 w.p.m.; however, there will be very little retention of what has been read. This type of reading is valuable only when one is searching for a particular datum, or when one is doing this as a perceptual exercise.

Defeating the Decay of Memories

The decay of memory capacity is such that an hour after trying to memorize, approximately fifty percent of the facts may have been forgotten. A day later nearly everything related to the memory exercise may have evaporated. A diagram drawn to show the way in which people forget would show a sudden, dramatic downward curve starting about five minutes after the attempted memorization. This assumes that full attention was given to the spoken or written materials, with understanding; obviously if little attention was paid or the material was not understood, there would be little to be remembered! The amount of forgetting passes the fifty percent mark at one hour and falls to 90% after a day.

[96]

The curve then levels off at about 90 - 99%. Suppose instead one could turn this curve around and increase the amount of remembered facts with the passage of time. Suppose you have to attend a lecture class or a meeting where it is not possible to take notes or make a recording, yet it is vital to recall the salient points which were discussed. To ensure effective recall you must set up a program in your mind which will act as a store for information. Therefore, as the session proceeds make a mental note of key points which are raised by repeating these subject headings to yourself in numerical order. Repeat this list from the beginning as each new heading is added. In this way you can keep a running total of all the successive points that have been raised. This is possible because your inner thought-stream is much faster than the vocalized speech that you are listening to, so you can fill in the gaps with your review programming. It also helps to accompany each heading with a visual representation of the subject matter, particularly if that image is striking or humorous (The way we discussed in the memory chapter earlier). Five or ten minutes after the session ends, find a quiet place where you can sit down and relax, then go through these key topics in your mind. Do not worry if in this short space of time quite a lot of the material seems to have been forgotten. Spend a couple of minutes on this exercise and never strain yourself to recall elusive items. Just make an educated guess about anything you cannot recall at that time. Repeat each of the topics to yourself just once and make a written note if you can. This helps the initial neurological consolidation of the memories from short term to permanent long term recordings. About an hour later, have a second recall session, exactly as before, going through all the topics without undue strain, repeating them to yourself. New aspects and data will reappear by association. The third session should take place about three hours later, the next after six hours, preferably before going to sleep. This makes maximum use of the consolidation occurring during the dreaming process. Repeat the recall procedures three or four times on each of the second and third days, spacing the sessions out evenly through the day. It is also found that our mind can recall information most easily if it is stored inform of mental images associated with a particular topic. It means that the mind handles images, especially vivid and unusual ones (especially funny), far more effectively than it deals with words, numbers, or abstract [97]

concepts. You can make use of this fact by briefly forming a picture of each major topic when it is initially described and later as you review the topic; this will enhance retention and recall. If you get stuck at any point make use of the picture association to jog your memory. Remain relaxed and think of the first thing that the previous item you were able to remember reminds you of. This should produce some kind of association that can be used as a trigger, leading on to the next link in the chain. After perhaps up to ten such links have been pulled out of your mind, one of the missing topics will reappear automatically (Association link method, which we learned in the memory chapter earlier). Try this review system as an exercise at the earliest opportunity in a real-life situation. Compare the gain in remembered facts with what you were normally able to hold in your mind over a period of three or more days. Your memory and your ability to learn are much, much greater than you may have supposed. The effect of such a review program is to reduce greatly the rate of forgetting. Instead of the memory dropping off rapidly by about 80% over the first 24 hours, it can be reinforced by reviews at the critical consolidations periods and at subsequent intervals, and it can be raised back towards and then above, that which was initially retained.

The same technique can be applied whenever you study materials that you intend to remember. It may be thought that with continued study of a subject, the reviews would accumulate and take over most of your study time. Actually, this is not the case. Supposing a person studied every day for one hour a day, and in addition set up a review program for this study. On any one day he would need to review the work from the study session just finished (immediately after, a few hours after and before going to bed), and also material from one day, one week, one month and six months before.

[98]

Review of work done: Time taken:

Same day: 5 minutes 1 week before: 3 minutes 1 month before: 1 minute 6 months before: 1 minute Maximum review time on any one day: 10 minutes Thus a person spending one hour a day on study would need to spend only a maximum total of 10 minutes a day to complete all the necessary reviewing, and improve his memory many times over. Thus a few minutes devoted to review makes the hours spent studying effective and worthwhile. When you have acquired the discipline of organized review of previously studied materials, and received the benefits, the procedure will become automatic and easy. Presentation Skills Conversation between a Bestselling author & a Good Author (Most knowledgeable). Good Author: I read your book, and I personally felt, that you yourself dont know much about the topic on which you wrote the book. Bestselling Author: well, probably you are right. Good Author: then how come your book is so famous? Bestselling Author: well, to be a bestselling author you dont need to be a good author, I just explain and present well, whatever I know. And thats what sells in the real world. Exactly like the above conversation, we dont need to be the best student (knowledgeable) to get the best marks. Or we dont need to be most hard working person in an office to get the promotion. Its just your presentation skills which count, and in this chapter we will discuss about how we can work on them to improve it. And be a best scoring student instead of best student Or best performing employee instead of most hardworking one.

Examiners Mentality (A person who corrects your exam papers)

Well, we need to understand that every examiner gets a very small amount of money to check an answer sheet. And due to which we cannot afford to spend too much time on one copy. So our main target should be how you can help the examiner understand more in less time? When we ask our self the same question probably we will come up with the following points. 1. Write in Key Points. 2. Underline every key point which you want examiner to look at while skimming through your answers. 3. Do not answer in big paragraphs, always break it into a few key points or sub topics. If there are no sub topics then break it into very small paragraphs. 4. Write in a good handwriting. Remember the easier he reads the answers the more time he gets to think and evaluate your copy. [99]

5. Write in big & clear letters. If there is a key term in the middle of any paragraph, do write it in CAPITAL Letters, so that he can easily notice it. 6. Use as many diagrams as possible to explain, as we know now that human mind can read pictures much faster than written text. We have included some pictures of sample handwriting and a real answer sheet. If you watch them carefully, you will find out that they have clear handwriting (easy to understand) and has diagram with key points to explain better.

How to work and study efficiently?

Do physical exercise on a regular basis. Try exercising before you start your work/study to increase alertness and balance your mind and body. Relax your mind and give yourself an affirmation and/or an image that will motivate you. You can do some alternate breathing before you begin start. Break assignments into small step-by-step tasks. Analyze your study/work skills to make sure that your problem is one of concentration, not faulty study skills. Look for a special interest in each subject for which you do not feel motivated. Chart your progress after a few study sessions. Set realistic goals. Whenever you find your mind wandering, stand up, stretch your body and get back to work. Take a short break after every 30 minutes of reading to let what you have just read have a chance to sink in and find its way to connectors and memory storage points in your mind. Do not use the break for a phone call, TV. Etc. just sit back and think of what you have read. Watch your eating pattern. Limit junk food, sugar, and caffeine you are taking. They can give you a buzz but that dont really makes you any more alert.

Get 6/8 hours of sleep per day. Its important for your healthy metabolism.

[102]

Special Study Tips.

Choose your place to study. Set your starting time. Set a time for each subject. Have everything ready. Switch off the phone. When Working on pc, switch off the messengers to avoid distractions. Set a time limit. Start with a brief review.

When you feel sleepy while study:

Study in a well ventilated room. Take regular short breaks. Escape from your work through day dreaming. Skip irrelevant thoughts from your mind. Study active and serious, think about your goal and why you study!!

Priority plan
Keep a calendar with appointments and assignment deadlines. Make a schedule for your study/work and stick to your schedule. Do not just try; doing is that what gives results! Divide your goals for each study session. Plan ahead exactly what you want to accomplish in a study session. Keep working until you accomplish your goals. Plan an enjoyable activity as a reward for a job well done. Talk about your concentration/motivation problems with a friend and/or make an appointment with a counselor. Concentration is an elusive state of mind. Ironically, the more you think or worry about concentration, the less you're actually concentrating on the task at hand. That's why strategies to improve concentration usually approach it indirectly, by focusing on the elimination of distraction. A thoughtful analysis of what distracts your concentration will often indicate the most effective course of action for improving it.

[103]

Work & Study Environment

Students especially those who live at hostels, often find concentration difficult because of noise, roommates, or an uncomfortable environment.

The Library is an old favorite, and sometimes the study room in your hostel hall or an empty lounge, classroom, or meeting room can work well too. Ideal study/work environment:

No Music. No Noise. Sufficient Light. Balanced Colors. Balanced Room temperature. Well ventilated room.

Physical distractions can affect your concentration negatively and can have a negative impact on your study. It can be the reason of your concentration difficulties. The pitfalls for not able to concentrate and relax

Thoughts and worries Fears and Mistakes Stress Irregular sleep Irregular Exercise Irregular Eating pattern or habits

The connection between physical health and intellectual functioning is strong related to each other. Finding the way which works the best for you can help you to maintain your brain at its physiological peak. Planning your study timings and time management strategies will give you faith and the physical ability to concentrate will be at its best. Personal issues like a breakup with a friend can cause a big distraction for you to concentrate, mostly it s temporarily and the ability to concentrate returns fast to normal. There can possibly be a more serious situation search for some outside help from a counselor service when available. Sometimes its not possible to concentrate fully, take some time off for yourself. Go outside for a walk and dont think about the study for a while. Start fresh again. Dont feel guilty about breaks, you deserve breaks. If you press yourself to study for a longer time, it would be waste as your mind will not take any new information without a rest break.

[104]

When there is a problem, spend some time thinking about it, how to solve it, what you can do, possible you can solve it straight away or you need to take some action, then better dont wait, take action and when its done you can start your study again fresh with concentration.

Counseling
When you are worried about your personal problems, search guidance from a professional personal counselor. Coaching from a qualified & professional counselor, will help you with any Personal/Professional questions or issues you may have. Personal Coaching is a conversation in one to one sessions with an expert, who can understand your life situation and can guide the right direction. The guidance from a Counselor can be very helpful. The Counselings process can help you expand the vision of the world, which creates space for new possibilities, and therefore new actions are to happen. A counselor can help you discover how to live life the way you want, do the work you love and foster your own growth, improve confidence and self-esteem.
