Memories

Memories What good are they?
Why remember this and not that?
Where are they when I need them?
How can I organize my memories?

What makes some important, and some seemingly get lost?
How can I remember to remember to remember?

Once past the fear of public speaking or often at the core of the fear is forgetting, forgetful, and the forgotten. “I can’t remember what to say.”

There are presenters, who got it down pat. Each presentation is word for word, a repetition of what they said before. Memorizing a speech is not a bad thing, but is not always a good thing either.
We are a wellspring of memories. Psychologist and hypnotist often say we can remember everything that ever happened to us.
Everything? What about when you were….?
Who wants to remember everything? The flood would be insane, and perhaps we protect ourselves somehow from the onslaught.
Is it the memorization or the accessing of the information?

The sorting, and recalling what you want?

Again, the challenge is in remembering to remember to remember.
So how to access those memories already residing somewhere in me?

What about accessing the Akashic records of all knowledge?

Find those records and nothing ever need be memorized again.

What’s the key?

Paying attention when the memory was created. Anchoring it to as many of the senses as possible, realizing memories are not just saved in the mind, but in the body.

For example if you haven’t recited the pledge of allegiance for years, stand, place your right hand over your chest and voila it begins. We can consciously create anchors of what we want to remember.

One way is Digital Remembering. Using the fingers and toes, worked in math, it’s a great tool to use for yourself and impacting your audience to remember. . You have one point, anchored in you index finger, the second on the middle finger, ideas on the ring finger, a thumb to hitch the ideas out with. Many fingers already carry a message. We’re number one, a peace sign, looking for a ride. Go ahead and put new messages there-the Intro, Body and Ending.

Enlisting the sense of smell when learning is a big help.

Increasing the supply of oxygen to the brain improves memory and may be accomplished with aerobic exercises; walking for three hours each week suffices. One study found that eating five small meals a day promotes a healthy memory by preventing dips in blood glucose, the primary energy source for the brain.

As with all skills, desire, belief in yourself and deciding you are going to remember are key. Practice desire without stressing, without excuses, and begin to look, just look, get out of your own way and know it will be found.
Is the memory visual, auditory, kinesics?

A visual memory is often a quick snapshot that can be grown into a larger vista with patience and the same ‘backward flowing motion’ of meditation.
