Do you know how often earth-shattering revelations about how to use your memory better come along?

Two words:

Not often.

But when Lynne Kelly’s The Memory Code was announced, I knew we were in for something special.

I got even more excited when The Memory Code finally arrived (notice that’s an Aboriginal art bookmark too for the detail-oriented amongst you.)

And now I’m excited to present the first Magnetic Memory Method interview with Lynne Kelly.

The Most Profound Memory Resource On The Planet Got An Early Start

Scroll up to the podcast play button and listen in as Lynne and I discuss her book, The Memory Code. You’ll want to listen to this episode a few times so you can discover and remember:

* How a skeptical science writer came to embrace the art of memory by replicating ancient memory techniques.

* How the human mind once regularly memorized 1600 hundred plants (while eating less than a third).

* The role of rituals and Songlines in memory associations and how Lynne uses them herself.

* Why Lynne’s associations with her Memory Palace Songlines have become so strong, she cannot relocate from her environment. This point will help you avoid Memory Palace Agoraphobia.

* The potential relationship between social inertia and a cure for Dementia (or at least a serious reduction in the number of cases and their severity).

* Why your brain is a set of “chemical locations” and how these can integrate with other locations in the world to help you remember. Jesse figured this out in a big way as you’ll learn in his Magnetic Memory Method Review and Testimonial.

* What we’ve lost in schools and what Lynne is doing to bring formal memory education back into the curriculum.

* What Nobel prize winners have shown us about how and why the brain associates information with locations naturally.

* Why the continuous culture of Australia is so beneficial to the study of memory.

* The economic history of memory training and why the going rate for one memory song could be exchanged at a very high rate.

* Why knowledge is so essential to human survival.

* Why vivid imagery in stories and dancing is far more memorable than straight, unencoded information.

* The 3 kinds of “Memory Spaces” anyone can use to remember information and get it right – very important in every day education and matters of life and death.

* Why some information was restricted in early societies to avoid the so-called “Chinese Whispers Effect.”

* Why ancient groups of people were not naive or living in clouds of ignorance. Learn how science is helping us discover their incredibly sophisticated ways of knowledge – far from primitive!

* The power of multi-sensory mnemonic methods for helping you make fast mnemonic associations.

* The importance of playing with the stories and images you create in order to faciliate rapid encoding and long term recall.

* The secret skill all children have (one of the barriers that far too many adults unnecessarily let themselves get in their way).

* The possible role writing might have in decreasing our visual imagination abilities.

* Why you need to memorize based on a firm foundation upon which layers can be built.

* Examples of how kids are using mnemonics to memorize physics equations using location-based mnemonics.

* How children are learning about art using Memory Palaces that enable the teachers to develop

Memory Techniques For People Of All Ages

Children are one thing, but Lynne talks about how all the same techniques apply across the board to people of every age. No matter how time crushed you may be. As you continue listening, you’ll learn:

* Why memory techniques will save you time, not consume it.

* Why memory techniques should be taught within the curriculum of schools, not as a separate subject.

* Why memory techniques have inspired students to BEG for testing, not run shrieking from their exams.

* The role of cold in creativity and memory with respect to cold showers and the vagus nerve.
