Take a book to bed with you. End of Success Level 1 YouTube

Between Turbo Charged Reading all that information into your innermind,
if the material is longer than, say 10 pages or so, and it is not a novel
then it is better to have a twenty minute nap or to sleep on that information.
This is to allow your new and growing neurons to catalogue, cross reference that information 
with all the other books you have read plus your experiences and finally to sift out the information 
you have instructed your mind to find to satisfy your reasons for reading in that area.
For an email or newspaper article you won’t have the time to lie down, but the more information 
you pour into your innermind then the more time it takes for your neurons to process.
My youngest daughter once put her exam work under her pillow
so that the information could seep into her mind by osmosis.
I guess this is not a bad idea as she had in fact instructed her mind to work on and retain
that information in order to pass her exam the following day.
In fact 'they' have proved this mind instruction to be so.
In her case she would have had to acquire a working knowledge of the information
and she was ensuring its recall.
When I took my hypnotherapy exam there was a foot note that said, ‘remember you are a hypnotherapist’. After pondering a little while I hypnotheraped myself
and I dreamt that my diploma, edged in green, was emerging from a photocopier.
This was the first time I’d used Mind Maps, they were pinned to my room wall
and I went through them each night until I was memory perfect.
However, I never got on that well with Sigmund Freud but I had programmed my mind to answer
the easy questions first and for my mind to come up with the answer I needed in the meantime.
Sure enough Mr Freud was mentioned and I didn’t have the faintest idea of the answer.
By the time I came to answering that question my pen just flowed over the page
as the answer poured out of its tip.  M'reen

Introduction to Turbo Charged Reading

HAHAHA, what a face.
Turbo Charged Reading does require a little work - but not that much!
However, it is great for experiencing the depth of emotions 
when you read a novel or when you read in the spiritual or aesthetic realms.

My experience of memory and Turbo Charged Reading

My experience of memory and Turbo Charged Reading
Dangerous Days in the Roman Empire
By Terry Deary.
Written By M'reen

The Mind Map below of the first 6 pages would not be understandable to anyone 
who was not intimately familiar with the story in question. This is because Mind Maps are 
a personal shorthand designed to trigger a wealth of detailed material from the innermind.

I went through all the TCR steps and poured the whole book directly into my innermind
in a matter of minutes. Even though I had a clearly defined purpose for reading the book
and had given my innermind instructions as to what it was to do with the material
once it was in there - had I not taken the next steps then like un-watered seedling 
those newly forming neurons would have withered.
I have no earthly idea what the rest of the book is about but I can now write about those six pages without reference to the book as I took my reading memory to the next level and produced
this Mind Map. When composing the Mind Map after TCR the text I’d say that my recall
was around 95% of the content but with no memory of the names.
Was that the end? No!
I could be happy with that level of recall
or take it to the next level and use memory techniques to add the names.
This Mind Map would have been sufficient for me if it had been described thus:
Converted Christian. Vibia Perpetua and her slave Felictas and 2 others.
Roman Emperor Septimus Servius AD 203
                           thought of himself as god and required the burning of incense as proof.
Husband. Distanced himself by abandoning her and their child.
Father, wealthy North African begged her to renounce her Christianity.
Roman Governor. Hilarianus, may have had an arena seating 50,000
The crowd. Wanted them whipped – martyrs happy as Jesus was whipped.
Pagan goddess. Ceres. Vibia Perpetua fought so hard against being dressed as a pagan
                           that they gave up and like the Wicker Man she started singing a psalm.
The Christians said, “you may judge us, but God will judge you and this city.”
Roman Governor. Hilarianus, had them stripped naked
                             but the crowd were horrified so they were given tunics.
He let loose a mad cow which tossed Vibia Perpetua who, confused, pulled down her ripped tunic,
                       asked for a pin to tidy her hair and asked when they were going to be tossed.
After the second toss she was dying and was dragged to the killing corner (of the round arena)
where the gladiators cut the throats of victims to ensure their death.
The crowd. Had not had sufficient sport so insisted she be brought to the centre to be killed.
The gladiator bungled the job stabbing her in the neck.
Myth? Vibia Perpetua guided the knife to her own throat.

The level in black forms a general overview of the story, the points of a Mind Map.
The next level is to learn the names of the protagonists.
The next level is to absorb the barbarism of other cultures both ancient and modern.
The final level is to understand and retain the modern medical knowledge
of her progress in the arena to her death.This level finally covers the entire 6 pages.

Memory strategies:
1.       Vibia Perpetua. I divided this into syllables Vib/i/a Per/pet/u/a (each syllable has a vowel)
I repeated these with rhythm (aural learning) and by slapping my hand on my thigh (kinaesthetic learning) however this was not having much effect so I employed visual learning. Unfortunately this is going to have to be explained in the long promised article
on learning how to spell in any language or to learn formulae.
2.       Septimus Servius. Professor Servius Snape succeeds by division.
                                 A septum is a wall that divides e.g. one nostril from the other.
                                 The nose being needed to smell the incense.
Here is an example of ‘linking’ an unknown thought with a known thought
and the more amusing the link then the easier it is to remember particularly 
if it includes visual, kinaesthetic and aural (of the ear) references.
3.       Hilarianus. Need you ask?
4.       This leaves alliteration:
 Felictas; who probably did not offer felicitation for her fate.
 Or Ceres who probably couldn’t have cared less.
5. The mad cow has eyelashes to denote female, ferocious teeth, 2 horns for 2 tosses
and 4 blobs on her ear rings to remind me that there were 4 Christians.

As described in a previous blog when I mentioned this mind map, my mind started slotting in
the various points into their position on the paper, so for me position is an important point,
whereas for someone else it may be e.g. colour.
You may also notice that when describing this in list form 
people and events are described chronologically and in an importance order.
For example Vibia Perpetua is in the written title position not the Mind Map central position.
The Emperor comes at the important 1st left position where I’ve put her husband and then her father.
As pointed out elsewhere you will probably feel more comfortable with one presentation
and having satisfied that level of understanding and/or memory
might want to go onto the next level for which you might use a different format.
You might re-write the whole story in your own style or as a rap, a song, a poem or a play?
In any of these ways you make the material your own
and not the author who now becomes a source rather than the authority.
In deciding how many levels you want or need, you are taking control of your time
but having TCR the information and taking it to your desired level the rest is in your innermind
for future use and also you have catalogued that book cover for your personal Dewy system.

What is Mind Mapping? (and How to Get Started Immediately)


A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts.
It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information,
helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.
Just as in every great idea, its power lies in its simplicity.
In a mind map, as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text, information is structured 
in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works.
Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic, it engages your brain in a much,
much richer way, helping in all its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!

So, how does a mind map look like? Better than explaining is showing you an example.

This is a mind map about – conveniently enough – mind mapping itself. 
It presents, in a visual way, the core elements and techniques on how to draw mind maps.
Yes, I know this may look a little too messy initially, but bear with me:
once you break the ingrained habit of linear note taking, you won’t look back.

Benefits and Uses
I think I already gave away the benefits of mind mapping and why mind maps work.
Basically, mind mapping avoids dull, linear thinking,
jogging your creativity and making note taking fun again.
But what can we use mind maps for?
Note taking
Brainstorming (individually or in groups)
Problem solving
Studying and memorization
Planning
Researching and consolidating information from multiple sources
Presenting information
Gaining insight on complex subjects
Jogging your creativity
It is hard to make justice to the number of uses mind maps can have – the truth is that they can help clarify your thinking in pretty much anything, in many different contexts: personal, family, educational or business. Planning you day or planning your life, summarizing a book, launching a project, planning and creating presentations, writing blog posts -well, you get the idea – anything, really.

How to Draw a Mind Map
Drawing a mind map is as simple as 1-2-3:
Start in the middle of a blank page, writing or drawing the idea you intend to develop.
I would suggest that you use the page in landscape orientation.
Develop the related subtopics around this central topic, connecting each of them
to the center with a line.
Repeat the same process for the subtopics, generating lower-level subtopics as you see fit, connecting each of those to the corresponding subtopic.
Some more recommendations:
Use colors, drawings and symbols copiously. 
Be as visual as you can, and your brain will thank you. I’ve met many people who don’t even try,
with the excuse they’re "not artists". Don’t let that keep you from trying it out!.
Keep the topics labels as short as possible, keeping them to a single word – or, better yet, 
to only a picture. Especially in your first mind maps, the temptation to write a complete phrase 
is enormous, but always look for opportunities to shorten it to a single word or figure – 
your mind map will be much more effective that way.  
Vary text size, color and alignment.
Vary the thickness and length of the lines. Provide as many visual cues as you can
to emphasize important points. Every little bit helps engaging your brain.

Final Thoughts
Mind mapping is an absolutely fascinating and rich topic – this post only scratches the surface.
If you want more reference material now, Wikipedia is always a good starting point.
Mind mapping is a passion for me, and it is one of the strongest drivers behind this blog.
I plan to explore it in much more depth – publishing mind maps, providing tips,
talking about computer mind mapping, and much more.
In the meantime, please give mind mapping a chance – try it out. Follow these handy tips 
and see the results for yourself. Don’t worry too much about doing it the "right" way – just make it fun.
To inspire you, one more great mind map from Buzan Centre Australia on Creative Intelligence.

Turbo Charged Mind trees cover the points they need.
I'm told that aural learners (of the ear) prefer bullet points 
as below as they can hear the points in their mind.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.


There's not much room. Photo by M'reen  

        Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are animal organs.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? 
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth?
One goose, 2 geese.  So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
Why is the plural of mouse mice but the plural of house isn't hice?
Should it be houses and mouses?
Or more than one goose is geese but moose aren't meese
A number of dice are die but multiple grains of rice aren't rie!

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, 
which, of course, is not a race at all. 
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

 PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'?

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this.

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word,
and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list,
but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election
and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers
and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page 
and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP,
so........it is time to shut UP!
Now it's UP to you what you do with this email
that was sent to me by a friend and so has no author that I know of.
