How to Increase Your Mind Power by being a Whole-brain Thinker Using the Technique of Mind Mapping

                

 

The term ‘ambidexterity’ means being adept in using both right and left hand. It is a rare inborn trait but it can be learned. The versatility displayed in the use of each hand determines a person’s ambidexterity. Michelangelo, Leonardo Vinci, Einstein, Fleming, Harry Truman, etc., were all ambidextrous. In modern times, you will find many, who were originally left-handed but in the course of their childhood, acquired right-handed habits (at school or home) and thus became ambidextrous.

Along the same lines, we could say we are being ambidextrous when we are multi-tasking – talking over the phone and taking notes or riding a bike, etc. The difference being that instead of our hands, we are using both our right and left hemispheres to successfully juggle our tasks. We have all heard about some people being ‘right-brained’ or ‘left-brained’. In essence it means that the person displays more ‘right-brain’ or ‘left-brain’ oriented skills, although we are all the time integrating both hemispheres in our daily activities.

‘Right’ brain qualities involve imagination, risk taking, artistic abilities, highly philosophical, creative, etc. ‘Left’ brain qualities, on the other hand, are practical, conformist, seek order, have good comprehension skills, etc. Thus ‘right-brain’ people are said to think subjectively, holistically and have strong intuition, while ‘left-brain’ people tend to be more logical, analytical and highly rational. It is found that more often, left-brain thinkers are engineers and scientists, while right-brain thinkers end up being artists and poets.

How and why is it that some people are more adept at certain kind of thought patterns than others? The fact is that while we may inherit certain mental traits and capacities, how we use our mind is what determines our mental prowess. As children we are innately right-brained, displaying great creativity, imagination, spontaneity, open-mindedness and enthusiasm but ironically, as we grow, social, cultural and racial influences constrain these natural traits.

The most comforting thought however is that we can greatly improve our mental abilities by choosing to change our thoughts and applying our mind in a particular direction. Thus if a person is a known conformist, who always walks down the beaten path, he could deliberately try new things, learn to take risks and think imaginatively.

When we combine the power of the two hemispheres, we will be working at our full potential. Ambidextrous mind or whole brain thinking - as it is also known - enhances our brain functions and injects a heightened level of awareness. To foster an ambidextrous mindset, we can work on right-brain learning activities by including patterning, metaphors, analogies, role-playing, visuals, and movement into reading, calculation, and analytical activities. Conscious effort to incorporate left and right brain activities, human consciousness studies, reflective thinking and meditation are excellent means to achieve an ambidextrous mind.

One easy technique that helps in such whole-brain thinking process is Mind Mapping. It aligns the mind to the diffusion of thought and paves way for streaming thoughts and linking new associations. Association essentially is finding the links in logic and ideas, and when these are explored in full, it leads to insight, imagination and creativity.

If we look at great discoveries, we will find the application or association of principle (s) to another. Pertinently, colors, pictures, symbols, etc., highly enhance our learning process as they invoke vividness, clarity of perception and easy dissemination. Mind Mapping technique employs all these aspects and therein lies its power and dynamism. When learning and understanding is done using the Mind Map technique, it naturally becomes a highly effective and powerful way of gaining knowledge. It sure is an ideal way for fostering an ambidextrous or whole brain thinking culture.

Mind Power Expert Gives One Easy Key To Your Internet Fortune

                

 

Do you want to build an online business? Do you want to have a better love life? Do you want to improve yourself?



I recently interviewed my friend Tellman Knudson, an expert in helping people make rapid (sometimes instantaneous) changes to overcome problems and achieve high levels of success using the latest human optimization technologies ... He's a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) expert and Certified Hypnotherapist who runs 5 clinics throughout the New England area.

(Note: To access List Crusade audio interviews, see end of article)

Question: What is the key to rapid improvement?

According to Tellman, the key to rapid progress is learning how the mind works ... Once you know the secrets to controlling your own brain (using such tools as NLP, relaxation techniques, and meditation) you'll be able to instantly make changes that will guide you to success.

Question: How can someone make rapid progress towards success in Internet marketing?

After Tellman expanded his practice by starting the websites FatLossKeys.com and NLP-Expert.com, he became aware of some of the problems that new Internet Marketers face while trying to start their online business.

Many people have the necessary desire to become successful, but they often lack what he calls the 3 Core Factors of Success: focus, follow-through, and persistence that are required to rise above all obstacles.

To become a successful entrepreneur, you have to deal with an imperfect world. You have go to work each day to pay the bills, and then try to balance your time after work ... between your spouse, kids, and the business you're trying to get off the ground.

He soon realized that the ultimate tool for helping millions become successful on the Internet would have to take advantage of the underlying principle of NLP--the quickest way to success is to find a mentor (someone who is already successful) and model yourself after that person.

Question: How do I find a success mentor to help me?

According to Tellman, "In the past, to be able to persuade just one leading expert to act as your personal mentor could take years to make the right personal contacts."

Tellman wanted instant results, so he searched out 52 of the top experts in the world and persuaded them to act as mentors to members in his brand new program called the List Crusade.

Question: What is the List Crusade program and how does it work?

He plans to interview all 52 experts and force them to spill their guts revealing little-known secrets that you can use today ...

Each week for 26 weeks, List Crusade members get audio trainings from two top experts (each usually around 30 minutes long).

One audio interview lesson is always on a crucial self help topic, everything from instant stress release to optimum brain performance and perfect physical health.

The other interview is always on Internet Marketing and shows anyone (complete beginner or experienced marketer alike) secrets of making money on the Internet by quickly building a huge opt-in subscriber list.

Question: Who are some of the experts doing the trainings?

Here are just a few:

Jay Abraham, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Shawn Casey, Stephen Pierce, Robert Allen, T. Harv Eker, Dr. Robert Anthony, Joe Vitale, Jack Zufelt, Marc Goldman, and many more ...

Question: How much does it cost to get access to all the List Crusade trainings?

Even though some of the experts (such as Jay Abraham) charge $5,000 or more for just one hour of consulting, Tellman says that each mentor in the program can scholarship in members at no cost from their own subscriber list. The scholarship is also available by special invitation.

He says, "The goal of the List Crusade mentor program is to provide over one million people with the knowledge and tools to be successful on the Internet and in life ..."

In my opinion, the bottom line is: This is one resource anybody who is serious about having a better life should take advantage of--especially if you want to see remarkable and immediate results ...

Whether you want a bigger bank account, better relationships, peace of mind, personal satisfaction, increased self-esteem, a successful online business, a huge opt-in list, a new car, or your dream home.

The more you use the secrets from these leading experts, the more you'll discover that your online business is skyrocketing and your personal relationships and health are improving.
