The book I read to research this post was Memory Improvement and Brain Training by Speedy Publishing which is a very good book that I bought from kindle. This book is around 60 pages so is quite short. It is about doing mental exercises to improve you brain. There is various chapters each on a different with a conclusion at the end. It is things like developing speed reading for example where one aspect is focusing on chunking words. This is reading more than one word at a time which you can do with practice. Most people who have learned to read have a natural tendency to read one word at a time. Something else is mindfulness where you allow your mind to accept and then let go of it prevent yourself to become more distracted. There is also affirmations where you might say for example my blood pressure is getting lower and lower and attuned with my body. In this way using suggestion you can get your blood lowered by suggestion to your subconscious mind. Your subscious mind accepts anything suggested repeatedly suggested to it although it might be more effective to use meditation or hypnosis with it. It doesn’t filter what it hears like the conscious mind. This is an interesting book that I do recommend. I did enjoy reading it.
