Four Simple Mind Power Techniques

[vmemps...@yahoo.com]

The following mind power techniques are creative ways to tap into the
power of your mind. Some of them may be entertaining, but they also
have more practical uses as well. A good example of one that is both
entertaining and practical, is the "pupil trick." We'll save that one
for last. In the meantime, here are a few of the more practical mind
power techniques.
A Memory Technique
Memory systems are some of the oldest mind power techniques. Some of
them get very involved, however, requiring you to first memorize "peg
words" and numbered lists. These work well, but what if you want a
simpler way to remember things? Try a "linking" technique.
Here's a list to remember: Soap, milk, honey, fork, and flowers. To
remember it using a simple linking technique, you just start a vivid
story in your imagination, adding items to it as you go. Imagine, for
example, that you are at the sink, you reach for the SOAP, and find
the soap dish full of MILK. You wash your hands with that, and then
comb HONEY into your hair with a FORK. Finally, you pick up a bouquet
of FLOWERS and smile at the mirror. Try repeating the name of each
item while you mentally review your "movie," and you'll remember all
five things, even the next day....
