...begin carving out "instant recall" new neuro-pathways with this process:
- ask a friend about the last book they read inside and out, that they know the contents really well, that you have not read yet.
- you: Prepare/Preview/PhotoRead that book. Do all the techniques in each of those steps.
- craft your closing affirmations for instant recall, such as: "I am curious at to how many ways my mind and body can provide this information to me at a conscious level."
- wait at least a half an hour. (preferably the next day, after a sleep session)
- have your friend ask you questions about the book. Be aware of all and any small subtle indicators, intuitive signals, etc, that your mind is providing you information at a conscious level.
- be as descriptive as possible about those ideas, images, signals going through your conscious mind.
- post your results here!
A couple things:
- resist the temptation to beat yourself up if you don't see results right away. Information may spontaneously activate later in your day, or during a dream session.
- remember, when you ask your inner mind for information, it continues searching for the answer even after you give up hope. For example, when you don't remember someone's name until the next morning. So, reframe "I can't remember" to "I don't recall yet"
Even better, re-ask that very same question outloud to yourself, stepping back to allow your inner mind to furnish the answer to you consciously.
