USE YOUR MEMORY

In the Number-Shape System, images that 'look like' the number are used as
hangers, or hooks, on which to link items you wish to remember. For example,
a common Key Image for the number 2 is a swan.
Listed below are the numbers from 1 to 10, with a blank
beside each number for you to pencil in the various words that you
think best image the shape of the numbers. As you select the
words, try to make sure that they are exceptionally good visual
images, with lots of good colour and basic imagination-potential
within them. They should be images to which you will be able to
link the things you wish to remember with ease and enjoyment.
Here are several examples:
1 Pole, pencil, pen, penis, straw, candle
2 Swan, duck, goose
3 Breasts, double chin, behind, molehills
4 Yacht, table, chair
5 Cymbal and drum, hook, pregnant woman
6 Elephant's trunk, golf club, cherry, pipe
7 Cliff, fishing line, boomerang
8 Bun, snowman, hourglass, shapely woman
9 Tennis racquet, sperm, tadpole, flag, lorgnette
10 Bat and ball, Laurel and Hardy
Give yourself not more than ten minutes to complete the list from
1 to 10, and even if you find some numbers difficult, don't worry;
just read on.
