- Learning Room Story, Opening the Genius21:19This Chapter is the Learning Room Story which connects both sides of the brain. It is a guided imagery into the brain to see how it works.It is a great story to listen to just before test taking or any time you feel the need to reconnect with that deep part of yourself and your own inner wisdom and strengths." Just wanted to let you know that Your Learning How to Learn course has affected every area of my life. I had taken your course of Learning How to Learn when I was 15 and applied all of the tools in high school and college. I received very high scores in all of my tests and in many cases, the highest score. When I needed to change careers, I used the tools again for the new learning that I had to do and transitioned most easily and quickly. Just a major thanks for this as it has tremendously affected my whole life in everything that I do." Christine
- Our 12 Intelligences11:52During this course, we are learning about our magnificent brain and how it works. This chapter introduces the 12 intelligences that we have so that we realize how much we have to work with.Then in subsequent chapters we learn how to open these areas in order to make learning anything much easier and successful.
- Our Modes of Learning 3+2 System16:42Here we introduce the 3+2 System of learning. The power of learning that comes from using all the stimuli that the brain needs at one time is amazing!
"After taking your course, I used all the brain tools and raised my test scores by 20 points and made the Dean's list for the first time in my life."
- Circular Learning8:50Circular Learning is comparable to a good diet. We do not just eat one kind of food and expect to stay healthy.
In optimal learning it is important to give the brain what it needs - all aspects of the brain. The brain needs some kind of picture, it needs color, music, writing and more.....
Most educational systems do linear learning, but you can do circular learning at home so that your learning becomes so much easier and more fun.
" I raised my German grades from a D to an A in one week with the help of the spelling tools that Learning How to Learn teaches."
- What is a Genius & How do We Become One?14:30We usually consider someone else to be a genius but not ourselves. Learn the qualities of a genius and how you can develop them in yourself if you choose.
Most people have genius capacity and for most people that part has been shut down. And if you do not consider yourself to be a genius, you can at least consider yourself to be very intelligent.
Learning How to Learn teaches how to reopen our phenomenal capacity and learn the way we would like to learn.
- Understanding Brain Waves and How to Work with Them8:26What would we think of a person who puts water into the gas tank of a car and expects the car to run?
Yet we do that with the brain all of the time.
In this Chapter we learn what the brain waves are and which brain wave is needed for learning. When one moves into the correct brain waves for learning, learning is so much easier, much more fun and successful.
- 6 Point Access Brain Exercise17:37This is another powerful brain exercise that especially moves through blockages.Sometimes we do not know where a blockage may be to learning or doing something that we want to do. This exercise finds that blockage and removes it.
"I am a singer and have had to really work to stay on time with the song. When Donna showed me how to do 6 point access, I was able to keep time correctly and easily right away. Amazing!"
This exercise also helps break through old beliefs and programs that no longer work for us. - Understanding the 4 Protective Barriers19:57
- Captaining Your Ship15:19So often we want to do something and then the feelings come of "I will do it later" or "I can't' or the many negatives statements that we hear daily in our heads.Learning how to Captain our Own Ship and firing our "pirates" gives us a tremendous power of creating our own destiny.
We are fine, it is the "pirates" that we have allowed on our ship that sabotage us.
A most powerful tool for parents in communicating with their children. A most powerful tool in creating what we want to create and Captaining Our Own Ship!!!
" Just learning how to Captain my Own Ship has made this course most worthwhile. I used to think that I was bad or lazy and now I realize that I allowed those pirates to be on my ship - when I took charge, I realized that I am fine and I can learn and do things."
- 10 Basic Tools of the Brain and How to Use Them2:24Introduction into the Tools of the Brain and then each is developed in subsequent chapters.
We are learning to be our own Brain Mechanics. We learn what our brain needs and we see the RESULTS!
- Creating the Physical Environment for Learning15:36Plants need a certain environment in order to grow and so does the brain.
Ronald Kotulak, author of "Inside the Brain" said: "In the crudest terms, the effect of environmental deprivation is just as physical as a blow on the head."
Here we learn what the brain needs for its physical environment and what benefits that gives us.
When the brain receives what it needs, it works most beautifully and learning is so much easier. So it behooves us to find out what the brain needs and not arbitrarily pull out some wires and then wonder why our brain does not work.
Physical environment is most important for the brain.
- Learning the Secrets of Color and How It Has Helped so Many 21:16Color is as important to the brain as sunlight is to plants.
Color is the electricity of the brain. It creates brain connections and makes learning so much easier, successful and fun. It makes remembering easy.
Color has been relegated to kindergarden and usually taken away by the 3rd grade where students are told to take out a piece of paper (white) and pencil and learn.
The testimonials for color go on and on. Reading, math, science, writing - every subject is so much easier and more fun when color is used. Find your colors for learning!
"I can read and remember when I read through this color."
"I can comprehend now and all of my grades are so much higher."
"I could never do math but when I use a red filter, I can understand math."
"All of my notes are in color and studying is so much more fun and my test scores are the highest ever."
The comments go on and on - the benefits of color in learning are huge and if every teacher understood that, then color would be an integral part of every classroom and every presentation.
- Practical Applications of Color in Learning28:39This Chapter shows you HOW to use color in your learning. If you are using colored filters, it show you how to test to see which color or colors are better for your reading or your math.
It gives examples of using color in scheduling, homework and more.
The more one works with color everywhere, the more one is amazed at the tremendous power of color in learning and in life!
- What is the Music to Use in Learning?22:40Music is a very important factor in Learning How to Learn. Here we explore music and how it affects the brain. We learn which music helps to bring the brain into alpha brain waves which are the brain waves for learning. Playing alpha brain wave music quietly in the background helps the learning process.
Playing music that keeps us in beta brain waves makes learning much harder, homework takes much longer and memory is usually much poorer.
Give the brain what it needs and it will give you what you need!
- Learning Vocabulary or a Foreign Language - Make Spelling Easier11:47Discover the tools that make spelling easy or that make the learning of foreign language vocabulary so much easier.
The tools are fast and powerful.
"I got an A+ in my spelling this week!" His parents commented that he now loves spelling and is getting better grades in everything.
- Creating the Mental and Emotional Environment for Learning16:20The brain needs a specific physical, mental and emotional environment in order to function and function well. When the mental and emotional environment is lacking, the brain will automatically shut down in order to protect itself.Find out how you can create this environment for yourself and keep your brain open so that you can learn easily.
- The Power of the Human Voice in Learning23:30
- Vocal Pacing - Learning How to Do It!13:22The previous chapter shared the tremendous importance of Vocal pacing and how the voice deeply affects learning.
This chapter is giving some exercises in learning how to do it especially when we are learning.
- The Power of Suggestion and How to Make It Work for You!21:12Suggestion holds the key to easy learning! It supports us every day of our lives or it drags us down every day of our lives.In order to obtain the full power of learning how to learn, we need to understand suggestion and how to have it work for us.
Here we learn how suggestion affects our brain. How we accept suggestions from others and how we give them to ourselves.
We also learn some techniques to stop the suggestions that come from others from entering our brain if we do not want them.
What positive suggestions do you want in your brain every day to support you?
- The Art and Science of Memory18:08"I want to remember but I don't.""I study for a test and then forget - how can I remember better?"
If these are your sentiments, there is a reason why you have them.
Learn what the brain needs in order to remember, in order to keep what you have learned in long term memory.
Memory has specific requirements and usually we are not taught those requirements. We are usually told to go home, study and remember, but most often are not told how. This Chapter gives you the tools for easy and long term memory.
If the brain is not given the tools that it needs, it shuts down and takes a nap. Discover what the brain needs and how you can easily move into easy memory.
- How to Take Notes and Study from Them17:04Find out the importance of taking notes for easy learning.Learn different ways of taking notes and find the style that works best for you.
Then study from your notes rather than the textbook.
Use Color and the other Learning How to Learn tools and have learning be most successful!
- How to Reopen Your Brain if It was Shut Down8:29Once one has experienced the ease and joy of having the brain open, it is very frustrating to be in a class or presentation and the speaker is talking too fast and the brain closes.
That is not a fun feeling!
Learn techniques to reopen your brain. For we do come across situations where others will close or attempt to close the brain. At least now, we have the tools to reopen it and get back to our true selves.
- Mega Learning in the Classroom and Business8:11Many times education and business work to succeed without a strong foundation on which to stand.
Fairness and respect are 2 most critical factors in having a solid foundation on which to build a classroom or a business.
