    1. Introduction to Mindmapping 17th October 2005 for Reading Speakers Club

    2. What is a mind Map?

    3. A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain It harnesses the full range of cortical skills word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness in a single, uniquely powerful manner. In so doing, it gives you the freedom to capture the infinite power and creativity of your brain. The Mind Map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance your productivity

    5. Basic Principles a) The subject of attention is crystallised in a central image b) The main themes of the subject radiate from the central image on branches c) Branches hold a key image / word printed on the associated line - details radiate out d) The branches form a connected nodal structure.

    6. Definition of a mind map

    7. Mind mapping guidelines These are the foundation structures of a Mind Map, although these are open to free interpretation by the individual: Start in the centre with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colours. Use images, symbols, codes and dimensions throughout your Mind Map. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters. Each word/image must be alone and sitting on its own line. The lines must be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate out from the centre. Make the lines the same length as the word/image. Use colours your own code throughout the Mind Map. Develop your own personal style of Mind Mapping. Use emphasis and show associations in your Mind Map. Keep the Mind Map clear by using Radiant hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches. (See: BUZAN, Tony. The Mind Map Book. Chapter "Mind Mapping Guidelines").
