Mindfulness for the GRE

If you are studying for the GRE, mindfulness based hypnosis techniques can help. You can learn self hypnosis to improve cognitive function. Past research shows that mindfulness meditation helps people to control their “volume knob” for sensations, including the brain processing of pain and emotions. It may also work by decreasing grey matter density of the brain’s amygdala, known to play a role in stress. Grade school, junior high, high school, college or post grad, hypnosis help is available for you.

Mindfulness Could Improve College Students’ Testing Ability, Study Finds

As if the stress-relieving, healthifying effects of mindfulness weren’t enough, a new study shows it could actually help students perform better on tests by boosting their memory and reading comprehension skills.

“Our results suggest that cultivating mindfulness is an effective and efficient technique for improving cognitive function, with widereaching consequences,” the researchers, from the University of California, Santa Barbara, wrote in the study.

A week before these classes started, all the study participants took a modified version of the verbal reasoning part of the GRE (it was modified not to include vocabulary) as well as a test for their working memory. They also took the GRE and the working memory tests again a week after their assigned classes had ended.

Researchers found that those who were assigned to the mindfulness training class did better on the working memory task and had higher accuracy in the GRE — 16 percentile points higher, on average, than those assigned to the nutrition class.

Whenever I am working with a student to improve their sports performance I make sure that I teach skills to improve academic performance as well. I love it when college students stop me on the ferry and tell me how the mindfulness hypnosis techniques I taught their Lacrosse team in high school are helping them to get better grades in college.

You too can learn self hypnosis and improve your cognitive function.
