Mystic Mantra: Want a sharp memory? Tune in to your cells

Many times we do not remember the name of a favourite person, a friend’s phone number or the book we read in the last week and we blame our age and weakening memory due to it. For it is just a working memory — which is the mental sketch pad that holds numbers, names and other facts temporarily in mind. But deeper than that is a memory which is not merely for getting work done: a memory which is our life, which sums up our entire experience — the accumulated essence of our experience throughout countless lives on the path. In recent years, neuroscientists have shown memory cells on a widely distributed network in the brain, and it coordinates those interactions through slow-frequency, thrumming rhythms called theta waves.
