Memories are stored in your brain, sometimes active, sometimes just filed away. Memories are retained as short term memories and long term memories. Short term memories are only there momentarily, easily accessible, whereas long term memories are stored in your mind and have to be recalled to access them. The reason we forget is typically there is a problem in either the storage or the retrieval.
Have you ever forgot something or misplaced something and you could remember details of the event, but couldn’t remember the actual memory you were locating? Using cognitive and contextual cues under hypnosis that memory can be located. Because the hypnosis process allows you to be in an altered state of deep focus it is easier to locate what you are looking for without all the added distractions on the conscious level.
Some ways you can strengthen your memory are to make lists and notes to stay organized, challenge your mind and body with physical and mental activities like yoga, tai chi, chess or other brain stimulating games and stimulate your mind by changing your routines this will keep the mind fresh and active.
