How to train a sense of smell
Before sleep
This exercise is familiar to you by previous pages. In addition to exercises aimed at developing your kinesthetic abilities try to learn to discern smells, filling your room , before sleep. Try to break them up into their components. Here you have a smell of bed linen (maybe a smell of a detergent with lemon extract), smells of a sofa’s upholstery, a coffee-table, a blossoming cactus on a window sill. Keep training every evening and you’ll notice how your sense of smell has become sharper. You’ll also feel how many unusual smells surround you.
Exercises for kinesthetic abilities improvement
Before sleep
This is the simplest of all exercises. Lying in bed before sleep try to perceive everything that is felt by your body: a blanket, which covers you, its weight, texture, warmth; a sheet under you; a bed, which absorbs your warmth; cool air in the room. You’ll be surprised by the number of things that you feel, because you haven’t paid any attention to them before.
Feelings
Take any object, e.g., a newspaper in your right hand. Relax. Concentrate. Touch your left hand with the newspaper. Run it slowly over the hand. Then try to restore this feeling as clear as possible. Imagine the newspaper’s edge touching your hand. Keep on training until these feelings become clear and stable.
Exercises for audio-memory improvement
Before sleep
As you lie in bed, preparing for a sleep, spare a few minutes to listen to sounds that you hear. Try to hear a general background first, and then try to make out individual sounds. You’ll be surprised by the variety of sounds that you hear- your own breathing, a rumble of a fridge and maybe a sound of water in your bathroom, footsteps outside your flat. Train in this way every evening before sleep, developing selectiveness and attentiveness of your hearing.
Re-play
Find a silent room. Take a sitting position. Relax. Focus on a proposed exercise. Clap your hands. You can help yourself visually, by imagining yourself clapping hands. Train twice a day for 5-10 minutes, changing sounds (a click of a mouse, a sound of a lighter, footsteps etc.). You should reach such a level at which you can clearly hear a sound, as well as to change its volume and tone.
