Mind it

Posted: Mar 05, 2008 at 0059 hrs IST

You have made umpteen number of to-do lists, your soft board continuously reads stuff that remains unaccomplished and the best of your plans often fall flat. The urbane life often lands us in similar situations where we haplessly wonder-where did we go wrong? And amidst this frenzy if there's one thing we'd wish for, it would certainly be a mind that functions like a computer. Much to the rescue of many such cases is the technique of Mind Mapping that Jas and Maneesh Johari; licensed instructors from Buzan Advanced centre are introducing the city to.

"The technique helps you use a larger part of your brain and enhances its ability," says Maneesh. So right from handling mundane chores to achieving professional targets Mind Mapping is a technique that can help focus right, simply by using both right and left-brain. "The mind functions the way you feed it and mind mapping is all about feeding your brain aptly," says Jas.

Both Jas and Maneesh have undergone Advanced Buzan Licensed Training for more than two years at the Buzan Centre in Singapore. But what really struck the couple about this concept was its ability to simplify things in a way that brings about maximum output. "Just reading Buzan's books was an exhilarating experience. It made a huge impact on my mind," says Jas. So she thought of taking diving in to this ocean of knowledge more intensely to bring about a change. "The concept deals with putting in planning targets and feeding the brain with the right kind of information," she adds. Explaining further Maneesh says, "Take this for instance. If I ask you to shut your eyes and think of your home, you will visualize your home. You don't see those four letters. Mind mapping deals with a similar thing."

So you plan your action in a language that your mind can easily comprehend and recall, eventually leading to lesser stress and labour. "Your left brain understands lists, lines, orders, words and the right brain understands colour, rhythm and aesthetics. So through mind mapping, you learn to plan through an overview and achieve targets with ease," thinks Maneesh who has already ventured into the corporate sector. "We have already held workshops at Infotech, Tata Motors and a number of other companies," he says.

In fact they are looking forward to help students understand and learn matter without any stress. " So we plan to couple mind mapping sessions with sessions on speed reading too," says Jas. According to the duo, speed-reading and mind mapping together can make a huge difference. "Even though this concept is four decades old, people in India have only started taking it seriously now," Jas concludes.
