Photographic Memory:
Develop a Photographic memory
Developing a Photographic Memory is something you can do yourself. The Study Guide (page 3) is the quickest and easiest way to find out how to do this.
From my experience in Hypnotherapy I have added some extra notes to the Study Guide on how to induce self-hypnosis, and then use it to enhance a photographic-type memory
People with a photographic memory are always considered to have superior memories. Dr Mike Samuels M.D., and his wife, in their book, ‘Seeing with the Mind’s Eye’, discuss what they call memory images – recalling memories and being able to see the details on the screen of the mind. Such an ability is of great value to the student; for instance, being able to call up, at will, the detailed images of recall diagrams, or mind maps.
In its ultimate form this ability is called Eidetic memory: Such as the ability to look at a page in a book, and then recall it word for word, and remember it for a long time. Dr Samuels says, a person with eidetic image ability can perform amazing feats of memory. When we are young we often have this ability to recall vivid images, and to exercise our eidetic imagination, but gradually in adolescence we lose this facility as our mind become more focussed on, and interested in what is happening in the world around us. In other words, we don’t take time to practice and exercise what is a fairly normal talent.
Students – and others – can develop their own photographic memory, and improve their ability to mentally photograph images, and recall them later.
The Relax-Recall exercise, described on pages 32-33 of the Study Guide, (check 'study-by-the-hour' plan in the Guide Contents) is designed to do this. But do not limit yourself to just this exercise. Frequently close your eyes and recall images of what you have seen, in as much detail as possible – pictures, books, experiences – exercise your mind’s muscles and they will continue to improve and grow stronger, as will your photographic memory. At the same time, while relaxing, program your subconscious mind with the message that your power of recall is becoming better and better every day, that there is nothing in your memory that is beyond recall when it is required. Keep sending this message to your subconscious frequently and regularly.
I have added a page to the Study Guide which explains this special nature of recall.
