I'd like you to think about this for a minute. As you sit there and read this document, bits and pieces of information are coming in through your sense of sight. But you are also absorbing different sounds, sensing bodily feelings like the force of the seat touching your buttocks and back, the sensation of the clothing on your body, and the air temperature and movement on your skin. You are also in receipt of sensations by way of your nose in the form of aromas. And of course, you're taking in data in the form of the mixture of tastes in your mouth.

And think about the emotional thoughts that you are presently experiencing? That is also data that you're processing at the moment. We exist in an information intensive world. Thanks to the Internet, almost no matter what you could ever want to know is only a few mouse clicks away.

I recently read an article that said that even in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, we are bombarded by sixty thousand stimuli per second. And that's occurring sixty seconds out of each and every minute, and sixty minutes out of each and every hour. And it goes on twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, week in and week out for our entire life.

And happens to be a big part of the crisis. We are all suffering from "information overload." And that makes it very tricky to memorize all of the data that we want to memorize or need to remember.

All too often, as we are reading, we find that our eyes have been traversing the phrases on the page, while our conscious mind has been off somewhere else on a tangent. When we get to the bottom of the page, we become aware of the fact that our eyes have seen the words, but we have no conscious memory of what we have just read. That is because our mind has been somewhere else thinking about a problem, or working out a plan.

Today it is common to hear even young people utter things like, "I'm having a senior moment." Regardless of your age, and whether you are a student, part of the work force, or a retired senior, you know what I'm talking about. In our hectic world it is often extremely difficult to focus your attention.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR PROBLEM?

A. Your mind begins to wander as you read or study, and then all of a sudden you appreciate that you do not possess the slightest idea what you've been reading.

B. When you are in a social environment and new acquaintances are introduced to you, you find that you forget their names almost as quickly as you hear them.

C. You remember that you have a job to do in another room; however, as soon as you start towards the other room you totally forget what that errand is.

D. You can stay alert and absorb new information. But when you take an exam, "Test Anxiety" overcomes you and triggers a mental block, and you aren't able to recollect the answers to the questions on the exam that you really know.

The chief cause of a person's failure to focus their attention is tension. And the chief cause of a mental block to recall is also tension. So it stands to reason that the more relaxed a person is, the better they will be able to focus their concentration, absorb information, and then be able to recall it at a later date.

Today, hypnotherapy and memory enhancement has become a popular topic. That is to some extent because hypnotherapy is an exceptional tool for creating relaxation. In fact, the very fundamental nature of the hypnotic state is relaxation. And as the mind becomes serene, the capacity to keep the mind focused increases. Similarly, a tranquil mind enhances the facility to retain information, and recall it when it is needed.

Self-hypnosis memory enhancement is a great modality for getting rid of test anxiety and mental blocks. There are several hypnotic techniques that can be used to program a student with the positive expectancy of tranquility, confidence, and success while taking examinations.

People can take a course on how to apply hypnosis simply and economically in the privacy of their own home by ordering hypnotic CD's. It's easy to find additional information on hypnotherapy to enhance memory and recall in the Hypnosis Research Library located on my website.
