Mini Memory Palace
I learned about the Memory Palace a couple decades back and used a Mini
Memory Palace like the one presented here to amaze my friends and family. A
Memory Palace is a mental construct that can be used to retrieve up to 100 pieces of
information in sequence. Here is a simple exercise to construct a Mini Memory
Palace using the body as the palace that can hold 10 pieces of sequential
information. With it you can easily memorize 10 words in sequence.

Next simply touch each location on your body and say "1 Feet", "2 Knees", etcetera,
until you know the body locations by memory.

Start by locating the ten places on your body where you can store information. We
will start at the bottom and work up. The ten places are the feet, knees,stomach,
chest, hands, elbows, shoulders, mouth, eyes, and top of head. Below is a diagram
of the ten locations on the body we will use.

| How to use your Mini Memory Palace |
Now we shall memorize a list of 10 words. This should be a breeze using your newly
constructed Mini Memory Palace.
Here is the first word - Cheese. Make a mental picture of a hunk of cheese and put
the cheese on your feet. Get a good mental picture of a hunk of cheese on your feet.
The process is the same for the rest of the words below. Just get a clear mental
picture of the word at the location on your body. Here's the rest of the words:
Cloud (make a mental picture of a cloud on your knees)
Egg
Lizard
(go ahead and review the words you memorized so far)
Rock
Horse
Feather
Spoon
(do another review now)
Flower
Moon
Now review the whole list. You should be able to easily say the whole list in
sequence. Also if I ask you what the fourth item on the list is then simply count up
from your feet to get the answer (Lizard). That all there is to it. Also try recalling this
list a few hours from now. You'll find you can easily do it. Also you can expand your
list to twenty items simply by going up one side of the body, then up the other side.
Happy memorizing!
