Hello people, this is my first post!

I began learning to photoread about a week ago and have worked through the CD course as well as watched the DVD set. I have gone through 5 books using the photoread strategy, repeating the activation step until my understanding is complete. Sadly, I have yet to experience any sort of 'a-ha' moment.

I have had to repeat activation enough times to make me wonder whether the photoread step has any effect. I had no success with the dictionary challenge. Not once have I felt familiar with any text other than that which I skimmed over during survey, nor have I experienced any voluntary activation.

I believe I have approached each book free of any negative thoughts. When I am photoreading my mind is very clear. I remained relaxed and accept the outcome regardless of what it is.

I believe I know the advice which I can expect to recieve ... "Keep going. The more books you activate, the easier activation becomes."

I am fully confident in my technique. I always get into a fully relaxed and alert state before photoreading. I make sure my purpose is specific. I write down many trigger words from which I ask myself many relevant questions. I remain focused throughout the photoread, chanting to myself whilst paying attention to the four corners and the white spacing (sometimes seeing the 'blip'.) I also affirm and re-affirm. I think I just need a little re-assurance to help prevent negativity.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

Think of any practical ways you can apply the material you photoread, and place yourself in situations to test it.

These were some things that have worked for me:

* Photoreading books before taking tests. (Take a class somewhere.)

* Photoreading a Scrabble book before I played in the annual Christmas day match against my brother.

* Photoreading displays of items at stores to quickly see what I want.

I believe this might work, though I haven't tried it:

* Photoreading newspapers before attending a party where the people often discuss current events.
