What It Takes In Developing A Photographic Memory

By Charles Meyer


You might have bumped into this article by accident and you are probably wondering it is even possible to develop a photographic memory in the first place. Whether it is actually possible or not largely depends on what you understand by it. The process of developing a photographic memory is not often easy, but with sufficient training, it is possible to your memories by leaps and bounds.

Other than the photographic memory, there is the eidetic memory which describes those with the ability to recall the sounds, objects and even images with just a few moments after being exposed to them. Whether your target is to develop the ability to recall images after a short initial exposure or the ability to recall sounds, objects in addition to images, there is only one way, training.

You must have been told so many things and steps taken in developing this ability. In a real sense, there are only three ways in which you can develop this ability. These are the genetics, lifestyle and the training. There is nothing you can do about genetics, in fact, only a few of us, less than 0.0001% percent of us have it.

If you have the average brain capacity like nearly all of us, you should concentrate on lifestyle and training as the second and third factors which determine your ability to memorize in the shorted time of exposure.

Lifestyle is the second most important role. In regards to this, as an individual, your body needs proper nourishment and supplementation. These include proper quantities of a well-balanced diet, adequate exercise, meditation, and good sleep. Generally, it all boils down to optimizing the brain's cognitive ability by encouraging memory growth through maximization of the brain health.

The other lifestyle aspect that is also very important is the mediation. Through mediation, the brain is slowed down, relaxed and given a chance to rejuvenate. It allows the brain to be trained in a particular manner and is often incorporated in all programs that are developed towards improving the power of the brain.

Diet incorporates proper well balanced diet, herbs, the right vitamins and other minerals that have a positive impact on the brain. There are a number of memory enhancing herbs and vitamins, but they should be approved and backed by clinical evidence.

In addition to this, proper exercise is required. This helps to increase the level of blood circulation into the brain. More blood to the brain means more oxygen, which means more energy. Any exercise can do, whether it is weight lifting or aerobics like routine running.

Given that most programs are sold in audios, videos or other forms of records, they are often cost effective way and the long-term reward justifies the expenditure. However, even with this, you should not be afraid to return the program that is not effective and ask to be refunded your money back within the agreed period of time.
