Mind palace exercise9/18/2023 ![]() ![]() What you can do is imagine yourself walking up the stairs, and bananas start falling down, raining down the stairs, and just toppling down step by step.Īnd then you go to the next room, which could be, you know, the hall at the top of the stairs. You get to the staircase, and you have bananas. Perhaps it's the staircase that's going upstairs. And so, you see that.Īnd then you walk on to the next room. See, without the method, my memory is not good that I think it was apples and so, you could perhaps look in the hall and you could imagine that the walls of the hall are just made out of apples like there are just walls of apples everywhere, and it's a long hall, and it's just walls of apples, green and red, or mixed. And now you want to remember the next one, and I think it was apples. ![]() You're in the hall that's next to the kitchen. And for this sake, I'm going to say it's the hall. You close the fridge imagine yourself doing that right now in your kitchen.Īnd now you walk to the next room. Once you've done that, say the fridge, you walk into the kitchen, and the first thing you do is you open the fridge, and it's all carrots. And when you open your fridge, it's full of carrots. Or perhaps you imagine there are lots of little carrots like all over, lying all over the floor. You imagine that orange is just a big carrot stretched out of the table. Maybe you have an orange cover on your kitchen table. Now you need to link the kitchen to carrots visually. What you could do is you could imagine five rooms in your house, and you could walk through them step by step at a time, and when you're in the first room say the first room is your kitchen. It would help if you planned a five-step journey. You have carrots, you have apples, you have bananas, you have bread, and you have milk. You have five things on the shopping list. I'm just going to use five things to make it simple. ![]() So, as an example, we're going to do this with a shopping list. Then, as they come across certain objects on that particular path, they will visually link them to the object they're trying to remember. The most common way that a lot of people do this is they have a particular route that they take through their house for example, they go through the house. So, the mind palace technique involves linking memories to some visual stimuli. The reason you can remember these certain things easier is that they're stored visually. Now, if I told you to visualize the last 10 words that you read in a book two hours ago, why is it that you can't remember those 10 words? It was only two hours ago the last time you were in your bedroom might have been a day ago, or something like that, you might not be in your house at the minute. If you think about it like if I told you to visualize your bedroom right now, you could easily see it. It's happening to you, either because you're there or because you've seen it in your head, then that stores a much stronger response or memory that you can access for years and years to come. If you just read something in a book, that's just one way of memorizing something, but you experience it if you see something. The Mind Palace technique essentially utilizes the way our brain processes visual memories compared to just auditory or written memories. ![]()
