Aromatherapy Basics By Michael Russell
|
| Wednesday, December 31, 2008 |
Aromatherapy is considered one of the most important business today! Need evidence? Take a tour to all food products and natural herb store and you will see a wide variety of aromatherapy products on display. Although relatively new to the United States, the popularity of aromatherapy has grown to unprecedented heights in the context of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) since its "birth" in the 80s.
What is aromatherapy? There is still some controversy surrounding this issue. Some claim that aromatherapy is all about fragrances and is commonly seen as anything that breathes the scent sweet smell like candles and potpourri. Some even claim that the oils used should not even be of natural origin. This is not the true element of aromatherapy. In its absolute sense, aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from natural sources botanical influence physiological and psychological well-being of a person.
Aromatherapy, or the use of essential oils for healing and therapeutic, traces its origin from Neanderthal times. The method is commonly used throughout the ancient period that transverses the limits of distance and culture. It was so widely practiced that you can see references to ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Indian, Roman, Tibetan, Australia and New Zealand, North America, South America and the Middle East sources.
What are the essential oils and how they are used in aromatherapy? Essential oils are volatile liquid products extracted from plant sources. These oils are extracted from plant matter either by steam distillation, expression, or through the current method of extraction with supercritical CO2.
In steam distillation, steam towards the plant material, which vaporizes the most volatile of the plant. This process gives two products - the essential oil (contains oil-soluble products) and Hydrosol (containing water-soluble products). Rose water is one of the most popular hydrosols produced using this method.
The most popular expression is used in the extraction of essential oils of citrus. In this process, a citrus zest is grated or scratch to release the oil. No heat is applied in this method, so that the oil produced odors essentially the same as its source. The oils of lime, lemon and grapefruit are obtained by this method.
In supercritical CO2 extraction, carbon dioxide is used to produce high quality extract which has a composition similar to that of natural material.
What conditions are usually treated with aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is effective for a wide range of conditions and diseases. Basil oil, for example, can be used to fight against depression, sharpening memory and to treat headaches and migraines. Others have stimulating effects on physical systems such as digestive and urinary tract (oil of bergamot) and the circulatory system (oil, black pepper). Still others, can be used as an analgesic (oil of cloves), topical antiseptics and as disinfectants (the tea tree oil, eucalyptus, oil sandalwood , Etc.) and insect repellents (oil of bergamot, lemon oil). Some even act as aphrodisiacs (jasmine, rose, sandalwood oil and ylang ylang)!
The application of the oil depends on the nature of the disease or condition being treated and the effects of therapy. It can be inhaled (proven to positively influence psychological well-being of a person), topical application or ingestion.
Although relatively safe, some people May experience allergic reactions to certain oils. Cross-sensitivity, or the potential to experience allergic reactions to substances, May also another possibility. May this be caused by the presence of adulterants in the oil you use. For added security, take extra precautions when using the products. Essential oils are very concentrated so applications for the skin, remember to use a concentration not exceeding 5% to avoid negative reactions. If you use methods inhaled, please note that the exhibition should not be more than 15 minutes to 1 hour.
If in doubt, always consult a qualified practitioner.
Break a team of information. We humans are not the only beneficiaries of these wonderful oils. Use these plants naturally essential oils in controlling and curing infections, humidity, hormonal effects and attract or repel insects, birds and animals.

Human Growth Hormone - A Fountain Of Youth? By Kathy Burns-Millyard
|
|
Is there really a "fountain of youth? Some believe there is ... with HGH. HGH is human growth hormone. It is produced naturally in the body, but the amounts that decrease with age. In fact, supplementing your body HGH levels can even help reverse the effects of aging.
Human growth hormone is known as Master or hormone "hormone of youth". It controls the release of many other hormones in the body and is made by the pituitary gland at the heart of the brain. During childhood, HGH directs the growth of the organization. In adults, HGH begins to decline sharply with age. This decline is associated with many of the effects of aging. Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the use of growth hormone in adults. It was found to raise energy levels, build lean muscle, decrease body fat, strengthen the heart, improve cholesterol levels, strengthen bones, smooth wrinkles, sharpen memory, improve service sexual regenerate damaged tissue, stimulate the immune system, and improve sleep.
HGH is available in many forms, the most powerful being given an injection by health professionals allowed. This is quite expensive, and there are many other forms of growth hormone on the market today.
Some of the results that you can even get natural sources of HGH:

* Reduce your body fat
Increase sexual power
* Gain lean muscle
* Sharpen your memory
* Improving the quality of sleep
* Reduce your wrinkles
Recent studies have shown the direct impact HGH has on multiple body functions. By the time you reach age 60, your natural production of growth hormone is most likely to be half of what it was when you were 20. This means you will have less energy, more body fat, heal more slowly and have a weaker immune system.
By providing your body with HGH, other supplements can help fight against the effects of aging and make you look young again.
Here's how it works ...
HGH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and plays a role in the immune system, tissue repair, cell replacement and bone strength. Although HGH levels decrease as you get more, you can supplement HGH naturally into your diet. So where exactly can you get HGH?
* Exercise - Exercise regularly slowly begin to increase the natural production of growth hormone.
* Eat some food - some amino acids, arginine, lysine, and ornithine can promote the body's natural release of growth hormone.
* Supplements HGH - Some natural supplements can give you all the benefits of growth hormone without side effects.

Don't Forget To Shop In France By Shareen Aguilar
|
|
When you go to France, would not it be nice to talk and talk to people in French right? It would be much more enjoyable and less stressed and be able to tell the French people what you really want to say, want to buy, want to eat and you want to go. You need to have a learning French to be able to understand what the French man you said in answer to your question.
Paris is a tourist destination throughout the year. What would it be like if you did not shop in the streets of Paris because you did not know how or at least tell the vendor you prefer? It would be a waste of time. You do not need to master the French language because you want to buy a pair of jeans and a shirt of a shop in Paris. Everything you need to know are fundamental issues when shopping, asking questions about the price and change your way.
If you want to ask things of the seller, you always start with "I would like ...», which applies the same way you should ask in French.
I wish ... I would like =
or
I'll take = ... I'll take
You can also ask if they have something you want that goes as follows:
Have you ... You =
When you're done shopping, you often hear "ce'st all?" (Is that all?) Or With this / it (Anything else?). What you just need to keep in mind these words is especially when you go shopping. When asked "How You Pay?" This means that you are asked how you will pay.
Remember these words mean that you should sharpen your memory. Consider the following example:
In the middle of the wedding ceremony, the 70-year usherettes a hotel to buy their own bouquet, because they are not allowed to participate in launching the bridal bouquet.
The words usherettes and purchase is linked to buy French word. The right word usherettes were used to represent the French word for "buy". The link between words, it is easier to remember by using a strange yet silly example as above.
Shareen Aguilar is a writer who has http://learn-french-program.com Memory Improvement Books and software memory game for a better memory of the French language. |

Schizandra develops the primary energies of life and is therefore of great value to any person who consumes it. Schizandra generates vitality and beauty when used regularly for a while. It is a safe and powerful tonic herb which is slightly ease the pain and having properties of mitigation. If used for 100 days successively, Schizandra is said to purify the blood, sharpen the mind, improve memory, rejuvenate the Kidney energy (especially energy and sexual function in men and women), and cause the skin to become radiant beauty.
The very name of Schizandra in Chinese tells us a lot about the qualities of this herb. Wu Wei Zi means "Five Taste Fruit." Because Schizandra possesses all five of the classic "tastes" (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus the essence of all five elements of energy (wood, fire, earth , metal and water).
Schizandra is said to increase the water in the kidney Qi. In particular, it is said to increase "water genitals," referring to the sexual fluids. Schizandra is said to promote the production of sperm. It is famous for its ability to relieve sexual fatigue and increase sexual potency in men stay. It is thus an ingredient in the vast majority of men in matters of sexuality in Asian herbal tonic.
Women enjoy the same ability to increase water kidney Qi. Schizandra is said to increase circulation and sensitivity in the female genitals. Many women claim increased genital sensation and heat after using Schizandra for a period of time. The Chinese classic sexual argue that continued use by a woman will increase the amount of "elixir of women", a euphemism for vaginal secretions during sex. On the other hand, Schizandra is used clinically to help offset the vaginal discharge.
For men and women, Schizandra is considered "aphrodisiac" qualities. Furthermore, Schizandra is one of the most important astringent herbs used in Chinese herbal medicine. An astringent herb conserves fluids, and in the case of Schizandra, it tends to contain sexual fluids until the release date. Thus, consumption Schizandra for a period of time, it tends to set up sexual fluids. Schizandra sex is used in formulations to prevent premature ejaculation and to help promote incredible stamina.
Schizandra is widely used to beautify the skin and protect the skin against the harmful effects of sun and wind.

It has always been popular with wealthy men and women of China because of its youth and preserve the effects of rejuvenation.

Schizandra has no side effects that are associated with a large number of "medicine" or "inferior" liver cleansing herbs. It is estimated that taking Schizandra regularly, it is possible to rid the body of toxins before they have a chance to do serious damage. Schizandra, including extracts of alcohol, are widely believed to protect the liver against damage due to toxic substances, and the byproducts of life.

Video and Computer Games that Sharpen Math Skills By Allison Merlino
|
|
Working with numbers improves concentration, problem solving skills, memory, focus and clarity of thought. And it is great news for players young and old! Video and computer games are rich with numbers! I researched to improve on the games that use mathematics to a greater extent.
Computer games are usually cheaper and a bit more versatile. They are usually sought by a slightly younger audience. In young people, I am referring to children of school age. is a very large proportion of users of video games are adult males! I will begin by examining a couple of math-oriented computer games that I feel good. Math Munchers Deluxe by The Learning Company reinforces math skills, encouraging problem solving through games in the areas of whole numbers, decimals, factors and simple geometry. Mighty Math by Edmark teaches geometry using mathematical concepts and problem solving skills and resolve. Students explore characteristics of shapes and solids, constructions and transformations, 2D and 3D, and the relationship between length, perimeter, area and volume. Teaching Pro: Middle and Highschool Math by Mathsoft has comprehensive coverage for students to learn math concepts and to understand how math is used in the real world. The program includes focus on basic mathematics, pre-algebra, algebra, algebra II, geometry and trigonometry. It meets the curriculum standards in all states!
There are many math focused games readily available online. Suduko around trying to fill a grid so that every row contains the numbers one to nine only once. This game is addictive brain teaser known. It is a great game for sharpening math skills and is available free on many Web sites and download for your cell phone! Timez Attack is real video game created by the same engineers who worked on Play Station games. The goal is to make your way through the maze of dungeons and leaves those who are on your way. You will develop your skills in math, while a host of failure challenging obstacles and characters. The basic version of this game is great free online. The full version is also available.
Nintendo offers a game called Math Play for the DS. This game encourages the player to create equations in four modules Thursday organizing maps numbered. There are a variety of difficulty levels. There are also competitive multiplayer action and addictive puzzle game.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math has received mixed reviews. I mean by a mixture not so great. It is one of the only math specific games however, that my research was for GameCube or Wii. When dealing with game consoles such as PS2, Gamecube or Wii I would choose puzzle games, which are more abundant and tend to need math skills.
Working with numbers keeps many of our strong skills, including problem solving and improves clarity of thought. Video and computer games are rich with numbers if they are intended to be one of the games or not. Research has made a few games that focus on mathematics at the surface so that they could draw your attention more easily in the future!

How to Sharpen and Improve Your Short Term Memory By Kevin Sinclair
|
|
In the short term, as suggested by the wording is the part of your memory that stores information for a short period of time. This is where the information you will not be necessary to refer to is retained, as the price of a particular product in supermarkets, for example. The amount of information and the length of time it can be stored at this place depends on the vigilance of the individual. If we want to retain a piece of information, we tend to repeat again and again, if it sticks in our mind. It is not normal for most people to be able to recall information from their short-term memory, unless they practice techniques to provide data for long-term memory.
As an example of what we are trying to remember a phone number. The number in question is an average of seven digits 4372819. If you try to remember this number with a digit at a time, five minutes later and you are not likely to be able to remember the number. Now give it another go in mind the number two, 43-72-81-9, with the exception of 9 at the end. Give yourself five minutes and try to remember the number in this way. You will find breaking the whole number into three sections + 9, you are more likely to remember the number. The number is not different from before and you are still the same person with the same brain. Do not you think that the two are completely different from the results surprising?
So how can I improve my short-term memory, I hear you ask?
The answer is simple: the practice of all time. The more practice you have the more you will be able to keep short-term memory assets. The practice of trying to remember phone numbers, PIN numbers, ID numbers of car and so on, but be sure to use the strategy described above.
A form of short-term memory, we use the practice on a regular basis, it is our shopping list. If you're not writing the list down and we must keep in mind in the head is a way to fool proof commit to memory. You have to buy nine items, such as hair dye, chocolate syrup, milk, jam, hair gel, coke, shoe polish, shampoo and deodorant. With this in mind the form of a story in your head that relates to everything on your list. For example, have a mental picture of the dye your hair with chocolate syrup and then washed with milk. You can then put the jam on your head instead of freezing, then wash it with shampoo. Now you polish your shoes, a little squirt of deodorant, pop your bottle of coke in your bag and leave the house to go to work. Creating a story as it retains all the elements you need in one place instead of being brutally dispersed in place.
We can see from this example that the short-term memory helps us carry out our daily tasks effectively and efficiently. It's almost like having paper and pencil in hand on a permanent basis. However, it should be noted that people who are severely traumatized need to always ensure that their therapist is present when using images like this can be dangerous when used in a mood disorder .

Why Do You Always Feel So Tired? By Fay Hokulani
|
| Sunday, December 21, 2008 |
Do you scroll through the day feeling drained and exhausted? Yes, we speak of lethargy, heavy-lidded that feeling which could overwhelm you in the afternoon that I-Do not feel like working atmosphere when you have a stack of reports in the file. So what is it that you want to loop bed? Lack of energy could result from emotional stress, boredom, lack of sleep, and sometimes upset hormonal cycle. It could also be due to a disturbance in the production of melatonin.
What is melatonin, you ask? Melatonin is a hormone that helps travelers to sleep when they fly through different time zones. It is secreted by the pineal gland and is responsible for inducing sleep at night and for lowering your heart to body temperature. The pineal gland slows its production of melatonin during the day to keep alert and increase production when darkness falls. Melatonin begins to increase at about 9pm and rises to about 2 hours. Any disruption of this cycle of sleep can affect cause fatigue.
It is normal to feel a lack of energy, or being tired or sleepy sometimes. But if you're tired, even if you are sleeping, exercising, eating better, and stress management, you should consult a doctor. If you awaken in the morning rested but rapidly develop fatigue activity, May you have a current physical condition as an under-active thyroid. On the other hand, if you wake up with low energy and fatigue that lasts all day, you will be depressed in May.
There are several different types of energy and fatigue. There has tended fatigue, tension energy, calm and serenity fatigue energy. Energy is tense when you are revved and a lot of work but you're not necessarily your best. Calm fatigue is fatigue without stress, which can be fun sometimes as before bedtime. The best energy is calm, the so-called "flow" or "being in the zone. It is energy without tension, and is sought after the state because you are completely focused and productive.
The one to watch for fatigue is tense. Your mood is low, you are stressed, and you want something that will comfort you. Your mood is low, you are stressed, and you want something that will comfort you. For many of us, this translates into chocolate, potato chi [s, and cookies. It is a vicious circle. Your body has no animation when you over with cheap fuel. In fact, you feel more tired and frustrated, snacks and even feel better.
Let go of the calorie-rich, energy-poor binging these guilt-free pick-me-up:
Exercise:
People who use candy rather than the exercise feel more tense 60 minutes later, while 10 minutes of brisk walking has raised energy levels for one to two hours. Regular exercise can increase your energy capacity. Do it three times a week for at least 15 minutes per session. You must be reasonably breath during the workout for an indication that you have enough exercise.
PAN:
If you stay up past midnight and continued from 7 pm yo, you do not get the required minimum of eight hours of sleep. Entire nations suffer from depressed energy that some people CRAM more and more things in their calendar. Our society as a whole has been accelerating - we're working more and sleep less, and eventually make us eat more and exercise less. The panacea is, without doubt, more sleep. The trick is how nap and a half-hour nap help May. Your brain needs 10-15 minutes adrift in the phase of sleep. Anything shorter will not contribute to May and leave you feeling worse. Why do we need sleep? The easiest way to understand why we sleep is to watch what happens when we are not.
Sleep deprivation experiments have shown that, after 14 days without sleep, rats will capsize and die. Three days of absence to close the eyes to see the man confused and forgetful hallucinatory. Sleep is essential because it helps our bodies to be recovered.
Music:
Listening to enjoy something that you can increase energy levels and reduce stress. But it is important to keep the volume low it will not be distracted. A low background level is favorable.
Environment:
Your office may be undermining your energy. Sick office syndrome can cause lethargy. Factors such as poor ventilation, lighting and temperature (the ideal is 20 to 23degrees Celsius) play a role. The glare of the computer screen can cause you feel sleepy. To boost your work, adjust the position of your monitor to reduce glare. Another option is a desk lamp to get rid of the shadow being cast by lighting not placed directly above you.
Vitamins:
The right vitamins help in May. Depression and fatigue can result from the exhaustion of the body of vitamins B, which can produce stress or drinking too much caffeine drinks. Like other vitamins C and E help prevent fatigue by strengthening your immune system. Zinc is another energy booster that works by improving muscle strength and endurance.
Diet:
Why perpetual drowsiness? This has to do with what you eat. Our food is deficient in the nutrient. Because of modern agricultural practices, it is almost impossible to get all the nutrients we need from our food and water due to pollution and contamination. While vitamins can reverse some damage, eating the right foods is very important. Here are some recommended energy booster:
Concord grape juice (152 calories, 0g fat per cup): Improves memory and problem solving by increasing dopamine in the brain. Top of the protection of antioxidants.
Soy milk (127 calories, 5 grams of fat per cup): Speed learning ability and stimulates memory (but especially for women ... Ladies, take note!) Is very likely due to the phyto-estrogens that it contains.
Raisins (78 calories, 0g fat is 50 raisins): contain boron, which in May sharpen memory, inrease and alertness and reaction time.
Spinach (41 calories, 0.5 grams of fat per cooked): Associate lutein and other antioxidants that protect brain cells.
Blueberries (83 calories, 0g fat per cup): May increase brain-producing cells in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that regulates memory.

A Sharper Mind Using Auditory Memory Exercises By Jacob Erdei
|
|
I know what happened to you, someone just shook their phone number and the only thing you can remember is the first 3 digits. Have you ever heard a choral music and then you do not remember what you heard? Or maybe someone told you her address and as soon as you heard it you forgotten? The question you have to ask is, Does this happen to you often? Then you may want to engage in auditory memory exercises to help keep your brain sharp. The more you practice the exercises Auditory memory, the more you'll soon and you will not write anything down. You hear something once and will be anchored in your short-term memory for a longer period of time that you're normally used to. This is great for phone numbers, addresses, instructions, shopping lists and more.
Top Ten countdown
A good performance of auditory memory is playing a top ten countdown on your favorite radio station. Do not write any songs, but try to remember the titles of each as they are played. Then at the end, try to write in the order you heard. As you better, you should be able to write to the artist and song title without having to try very hard. The best part about this type of auditory memory exercise is that radio stations that play these types of countdown often contests to see who can remember the best. You could make money while helping to increase your short-term memory capacity.
Exercises partner
Another type of auditory memory exercise involves using a partner. Having a partner recite something to you, as an address, a shopping list, or anything else you have to remember. Then, try to return and recite what you've heard word for word. As you practice, you get better and soon you'll be able to recite everything you've heard, without having to seek a clue. As with anything, the more you practice the best so you'll try it as often as you can if you really want to refine your short-term memory skills.
If you do not have a partner, you can do this with a recording. Playing a recording of a song, a comedy routine, or any other thing and then try to write what you heard. As you better, you'll be able to write all the details without having to go back and control.
Auditory memory exercises can be done anytime, anywhere, and are an excellent idea for all those who would keep the information a little more than a few milliseconds after hearing about.

Is there really a "fountain of youth? Some believe there is ... with HGH. HGH is human growth hormone. It is produced naturally in the body, but the amounts that decrease with age. In fact, supplementing your body HGH levels can even help reverse the effects of aging.
Human growth hormone is known as Master or hormone "hormone of youth". It controls the release of many other hormones in the body and is made by the pituitary gland at the heart of the brain.

Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the use of growth hormone in adults. It was found to raise energy levels, build lean muscle, decrease body fat, strengthen the heart, improve cholesterol levels, strengthen bones, smooth wrinkles, sharpen memory, improve service sexual regenerate damaged tissue, stimulate the immune system, and improve sleep.

Agoraphobia And Memory Loss By Giri Anantha
|
|
It is not unknown to agoraphobia and memory loss in the same time, however, anxiety disorders usually do not cause memory loss.
May it is possible to experience memory loss or forgetfulness, even depression or generalized anxiety. In general, however, any loss of memory May be due to side effects of drugs and / or age.
The memory loss is more associated with other conditions. Also, if you are older and a little forgetful is understandable. If you are older and have agoraphobia, it is unlikely that agoraphobia is the cause.
Celexa and memory loss
Some antidepressants such as Paxil and Celexa in May caused a slight memory loss in patients. Celexa and memory loss have been involved, but there was no evidence.
If you're worried about your agoraphobia and memory loss, talk with your doctor. If this is the drug you can always try something else.
The employment in the long term benzodiazepine and withdrawal, it was known to impair memory. Again, this is not the actual state of agoraphobia at the root of this.
Examples of benzodiazepines are alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Rivotril), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan).
Examples of memory loss
Examples of mild memory loss would be things like looking for glasses or take longer to learn something. There are ways to refine and improve the skills of memory.
Serious memory problems be particularly dangerous (in case of damage to property you own or could happen), getting lost in familiar surroundings, the repetition of questions and be confused with normal, everyday things.
If memory loss is a concern (and it should be), there are products made of herbs you consider May, but talk to your doctor first, as you do not want a bad interact with medications.
Some herbal remedies with memory function claim, as well as protection against nerve damage in general. Remember is one of those products.
May you also want to try hypnosis to improve your memory. Hypnosis is widely used for many purposes including the agoraphobia and memory loss.
Again, you have many methods at your disposal to improve your memory. Talk to your doctor and explore ways to improve your memory loss.
Try not to worry, because generally, memory loss should be temporary, if it is caused by the medication side effect. You will have time to act quickly so that you can prevent it from worsening.

You Don't Have to Have a Photographic Memory to Sharpen Your Short Term Memory! By Kevin Sinclair
|
|
I often find myself jealous of those who have a photographic memory. It seems almost impossible for them to miss something! It would be wonderful to remember all these things I study, all these anniversaries and other celebrations, and even small things like phone numbers, and lists! My interest in strengthening my short-term memory drive me in finding various ways to achieve this goal. During my research I ran across a concept called "imaging". Here, I'll tell you why you do not have a photographic memory to sharpen your mind!
The mind is very complex, mysterious but very interesting part of the body. The delicate components of the brain works in concert with the body on a consistent basis. The imagery is based on this very important fact about the brain. To understand the mind, you must first understand the concepts of short and long term memory. If you understand these elements of the mind, you can better understand the workings of the brain as a whole, despite the fact that the functions are performed by many units.
For the sake of comparison, we will say that short-term memory is much like a digital video recorder. As we live each day, short-term memory is recording. It records the things you see, things that you feel, what you hear, even the things you touch and taste. That is pretty impressive, right? I think so! Now, when we think about the long-term memory, we will compare it to a library. A little strange, I know, but it will make sense. As you know, the library contains many books on many subjects. Not all books are good. In fact, some are awful! However, they are still kept there for when they are needed.
Now, when something is generated by short-term memory, or "writing" and "published" in mind, if you will, the library (long-term memory) is in place and those bits that are important. The "book" will be placed between the shelves of memoirs in the long-term memory library. If a person tried or participated in many different techniques of memory, or hypnosis, it is quite possible for them to recall the memories locked in long-term memory in great detail. Conversations may be recalled, and a number of other things.
Now I will explain why image is so important when it comes to the sharpness of the short-term memory. Basically, you just want to take into account the fact that all your senses - seeing, touching, hearing, touch and taste - have a direct impact on how you remember things. When you use images, you take each of the components of meaning and application to focus on what you want to remember. Let's say you need to get some items in a store. You want to make a list to this effect. When you create your list to see where each of these elements. If you do this, and come to forget the list, you can easily recall what you need.
It's very easy, right?
There are three basic strategies that can be used to refine your short-term memory. The following describes these:
1. In trying to remember something, pay special attention to physical detail.
2. You must take what you try to keep in mind and then associate it with something else.
3. Now you can see all the colors and smells associated with what you try to keep in mind.
If you practice images to improve your short-term memory, you find that you are successful every time!

Simple yet Effective Ways to Sharpen Memory in Children By Sapna Ganeshan
|
| Thursday, December 11, 2008 |
Did you know that there are three distinct memory stores in the child’s brain? They are the sensory register, short-term memory store, and long-term memory store. This is where experiences are retained, stored, and recalled.
Memory as you know plays a crucial part in learning and intelligence. And in order to enhance memory, you would need to promote aspects like focused attention, associated ideas, and repetition in your kids.
It is Really up to You
Many of us grew up thinking that thinking power and memory were inherited - that is why some people are average while others are geniuses. This is a myth, research proves that you the parent can raise your child’s intelligence and improve memory greatly.
All you need to do is be a caring parent and devote time to the child. Nurturing is what creates a child who is caring, loving, and giving.
First you must never think negative thoughts. Children can feel your inner emotions and unexpressed feelings. A positive internal dialogue communicates to the child and enhances not just thinking but self-confidence.
Introduce breathing exercises as well as daily physical activities like gymnastics, jogging, sports, swimming, and so on. Do them with your child. Deep breathing and physical exercises stimulate a kid’s mental processes as well as overall performance.
Did you know, mental gymnastics can be done by playing games like checkers, chess, scrabble, word jumbles, and cryptograms and so on. These games stimulate the mind and enhance strategy skills.
Make the home environment comfortable and warm. Be sure to converse with the children whenever you can. This develops their language skills right from birth to around 26 months of age and that too at a very rapid rate.
One of the age-old methods to enhance intellectual potential, build vocabulary, enhance memory and attention span is repetitive reading - so read to the kids when they are young and repeat the same story time and again so that the child absorbs every nuance.
The World of Memory Games
The easiest and most interesting way to help children sharpen their memories is to introduce them to different kinds of games.
For example you make up a limerick in which piggy goes to the market to buy his mother cake, next repeat the rhyme and add one more object to the list—cake and soap. And, as your child repeats the lines he will need to stretch his memory to remember what all piggy needed to buy.
Another oft played game is to put out a jumble of objects on a table. Next allow the child or group of children to glance at the objects for say two minutes. Cover the objects with a cloth and ask each child to jot down a list of what is on the table. This will test their recall and by asking questions about the objects you could jog their memories. Play the game often and you will find that the kids become whizzes at it.
Technology has introduced great innovations in memory games and children are drawn to the wonderful 3D graphics and compelling tales that absorb their attention completely. These are not just entertaining but are designed with enhancement of brain power and memory as the ultimate goal. For example, Smart Neurons has designed several educational CDs and DVDs that integrate imagery with sound and words keeping the children engrossed by the changing contexts, including music as well as words and sentences that are a part of the child’s vocabulary and appropriate to the age group and developmental stage of the child.
Article was contributed by Sapna Ganeshan – Creative Head for http://www.smartneurons.com. Smart Neurons offers kids’ educational software, video and other educational aids that encourage critical thinking, imagination and leadership skills among children |

Factors Which Can Improve and Sharpen Our Memory By Syd Hs
|
|
Sleep and Memory
Research indicates that you can better remember the information you are reading if you will go to sleep right after learning it. But there are two limits:
1. The material that you intend to recall should be easy to understand, or you should already have a fair amount of knowledge or experience in the topic being discussed.
2. You must not be too tired or exhausted when reading the material. The next time you need to learn something, try this procedure and see if it works for you.
Reduce Stress
Medical researches show that people who are always anxious produce “stress hormones” like cortisol, which damages brain cells. Make it a point to do something that will relax you everyday. Try meditating, drinking tea, etc. whatever works for you. A very effective method to reduce stress is deep breathing and visualizing the expected outcome of any situation to turn out well. Don’t forget to get enough rest.
Improve Self-Esteem
Poor memory is often a result of poor self-image. After all, it all starts and
ends in the mind. So to have a healthy mind, believe that you can achieve
anything you desire. Boost your self-esteem and be confident in your abilities.
Your attitude should be supportive of your goals.
Emotions and Memory
Emotions and feelings play a very important role in the process of learning and memory retention. It is very important to have a good mood in perceiving, receiving, and retrieving emotional as well as mental information. Here is a valuable technique in mood conditioning that should definitely help you improve your mental capacities:
Mood Enhancing Technique:
Imagine a face of someone who has put you down in some ways in the past (e.g. a family member, a teacher, a friend, parent etc). After getting the picture of his or her face, say, “No matter what you say or do to me, I’m still a worthwhile person!” This would relieve you and put you into a positive consciousness in dealing with people or strangers.
