I was working with a client who was doing a bridging course for university.

He expressed that the work was hard and he was having a really tough time passing exams.  This course was only three weeks long, and was designed to enable him to complete three years’ worth of maths in 3 weeks.  He needed an understanding of mathematics before he could progress in his chosen field of study.  For him this was mandatory to completing his future goals and he needed help as his old beliefs about study, and his ability to retain information was not supporting him very well.

He commented many times about how “hard” it was.

I asked him what he needed help with.  I gave him two options.  1/ studying and learning, or 2/ recall.

He informed me that he needed help with recall.

I then began a process in which I had him imagine that his recall ability was located somewhere in his body.  I then had him imagine that this was represented by a colour.  Next I asked him to remove all of this colour in his body using his imagination.  He got all the colour and held it in front of him like an imaginary ball.

I then had him spin this imaginary ball and then put it back in where it came from.  I then performed other actions that intensified the effectiveness of the process.

After this was completed I asked him to describe what had happened to him.

He said words to the effect… “I could feel movement all around my mind.  There was movement and activity everywhere.  As you amplified the intensity of the feeling, the movement of my mind increased.  It was like information bouncing around everywhere, and it was moving faster and faster.  Then when you did the final step all I could see was white light in my mind.  It was awesome”.

A couple of days later I rang him to find out how things were going with his studies.  He reported increased concentration and he stated that he was certain it had helped.  If nothing else, he stated that over the last couple of days he had often thought about the process, and this helped him to remain focused on the job at hand.
