Just a footnote……some people learn by memorising and other learn by seeking to understand.
The memorisers often tend to get maximum High Achievement results. However when faced with having to think on their feet, they come undone. They then have to go through the whole process of thinking to come up with an answer. Whereas, the more practical folk who need to “understand” what they are learning and often don’t get very high results in exams……are often more practical in their application and can problem solve on the spot.
So first you should establish whether you are a “Memoriser” or Whether you need to “Understand” what it is you are learning. You can only be you, so make sure you don’t compare your study habits with someone who is different to you.Your Wealth is in good health!

Hi Jaffa !
Well my technique for studying or reading anything in fact that may start off as a challenge, is to put out a request to the Universe for help.
I believe that we all have access to the “Universal Mind” and that knowledge is not exclusive to any one person. Everything that anyone “knows” is in the Universal Mind. Great authors and writers do not have exclusive rights on “their” information, they have just learned how to tap into this great resource ~ the good thing is that we all can do so. First of all ~ it helps to become “open” in our thinking and to develop “blind faith” (if we can perceive it, we can conceive it). Most of us use our thoughts negatively and beat up on ourselves, when we could be using the following technique. It is quite simple. A lot of techniques to make studying easier, require just that ~ studying. Once you learn this technique which I am about to tell you ~ you can use it for everything in your life not just studying. We are like magnets, what we think about we attract. So here goes :
Whenever I begin some new task I quieten my mind and ask the Universe to help me. For instance :
“Please reveal the contents of this book to me in a way that is enjoyable & easy for me to understand” If I am exercising “Please make this exercise pleasurable with only a positive effect on my body”. When having to make a difficult phone call “Please deliver a positive outcome for all parties involved in this conversation”.It takes a bit of practice, but in the long run it is a great tool in tapping in to the Universal Mind. I believe that we only see 5% of everything, and 95% is hidden. It helps to lose the Ego, as the Ego often gets in our way. We like to THINK that information sometimes starts and ends with us and love to take the credit for various things, but if we start by believing that some of us have just developed our skills in “Channeling” information from the Universal Mind ~ then just think of the information we have access to ~ we don’t have to read every page of every book, or even surf the internet day in and day out. We just have to quiet our minds and ask the Universal Mind. Sometimes I buy a book and read just a few lines and understand what the whole book is about just by doing so. It works like “Light Speed”
For Religious people they may call this “Praying”
A long time ago I had difficulty reading the St.James bible ~ was like trying to read in a foreign language ~ think you might know what I mean! and someone told me to prayer (to Christ) before reading the bible and ask him to reveal the contents in a language that was easy for me to understand. It worked!
Recently my daughter was reading the Simarillion (forerunner to the Lord of the Rings…..)and had tried the first chapter 13 times and was becoming increasingly frustrated. I showed her how to use this technique and after one try of the first chapter, the whole book was revealed to me ~ I found this out after she completed the book and told me that what I uncovered by only reading the first chapter was what the whole book was about.!
But you don’t have to be Religious to do this, but it won’t work if you are sceptical or don’t believe that you have a “spiritual” side to you.
Spirituality is a Energy source after all and tapping in to the Universal Mind is just a “connection” to a Higher “power”.A good Affirmation for everything is :
“How does it get any better than this?” If you ask this often ~ you will be shown by the Universe how it gets better for you.A final tip : You will get better results if you do good to others ~ and live in the “light” and not have “dark” thoughts. Some people call it Karma. Some call it “Cause and Effect” ~ Whatever you put out you will receive.
If you want knowledge give knowledge (help others) If you want love ~ give love. If you want to be healthy ~ have healthy thoughts and healthy food.
Dont worry about Discipline and Time Management, just ask the Universe all day for help and funny enough you will be disciplined and time managed without much effort. The only discipline you need is to keep asking for help and having the blind faith to believe that you really will be helped.
it works! I have had friends ring me and tell me that the following saying has changed their lives:“How does it get any better than this?”
“Everything comes to me with joy & ease & glory”!Use your spirit more ~ not everything is in your head!
I am a great believer in “loving” everything I have to do. I believe that if you do anything with a positive attitude and make a conscious effort to “enjoy” what it is you are doing, the work become a pleasure instead of a task and the task become a lot easier.
Good luck ~ Jenny
