You should definitely begin learning Mind mapping. Since you are

right mind dominated you will befit extremely by using your creative

brain also as you work the material into your left side. This is an

extremely good learning method. There is plenty information about

Mind mapping on the net or in books you can buy in Amazon. But there

isn't much to learn about it If you ask me.. Simply read book and

outline few words that get's the whole meaning of a page, which is

not many words on a page referring to a normal book. Using an A3

paper ark, draw a picture in the centre which would represent the

contents of the book from your viewpoint. Use many colours to

stimulate your right brain side, use 2 min on this centre drawing,

and then you have activated your right side to participate in your

learning process. From the centre start drawing " main " lines which

f.exe represent a chapter in the book, NB using the same colour on

the whole chapter or subject. Once in a while,- draw a picture which

represent a word or a phrase (remember to use a less words possible

to describe a meaning). Ex. If you have wrote down the word " IRAQ " ,

U can draw the Iraq Flag or the face of Saddam spitted on a spear (-

: When U later read the Mindmap you will instantly remember the

meaning or the contents of what they represent..

To remember phrases or words in a specific order. Study Mmonics

techniques - they are incredible. Can bee used together with M-Maps.

If you learn these methods properly you cannot forget the material

like you cannot forget your name -Referring especially to Mmonics

techniques. Check out the site www.learningstrategies.com -they

offer many helpful programs for learning effectively and fast and to

overcome fears using hypnosis tapes.

Thank you for this- but I cannot find anything on the internet (google)

for Mmonics. Can you suggest any reading material on this technique? I

need to do alot of memorization so I am very interested.

Class is going great, by the way. Very difficult but

manageable...thanks to some very supportive people and lots EFT.

Again, any info on Mmonics would be great.
