Are we suppose to write down trigger words? I have been doing so and I find this quite time consuming. Would it have less of an effect if you didn't write it down?

No. Just let trigger words jump out at you and keep moving through the book at a steady pace. Ask yourself internally questions like "what about "trigger or key word"? How does it fit in with this book? Aside from the obvious subject of this book...what is the author REALLY trying to convey here? What's the big picture? Could there be an underlying message? If so, what? The more you can cultivate your curiousity, the easier it gets.

Thanks Mgickdoggie,

I just read your previous post, it's quite intriguing. If you don't mind me asking how long did it take until you started to see some results?

I remember a couple years ago when I purchase the book and trying out the steps for the first time I had one of those "aha" experience. I tried it out on my probability textbook. I photo read one chapter just for fun without activating. After photo reading for fun, I began reading the chapter since I had to. Within the first page of the chapter, I had one of those aha experience and it felt like I knew the chapter. It was an awesome experience. Unfortunately, the next day wasn't the same case. I know I should of kept trying but I became to busy to fully read the photoreading book and so I just set it aside. Now it has become my next challenge to fully master this skill. I'am also taking an on-line course on psychology hopefully i find connections between the two.

I'm just waiting for this cold to go away so I can more easily relax rather than blowing my nose every 10 seconds. Are their any tricks on photoreading when your sick? should you even photo read at all when your sick?

Braxton,

If you plan to activate the book jot down trigger words during postviewing and keep to it within the time you allocate. It trains the body mind connection for faster activation and it's purpose is to build curiosity for the book. This especially applies while you are first learning the system and on educational material that you will be tested on.

If you're not able to sleep PhotoRead a book or two. The stimulation of theta brainwaves will often makes PhotoReaders feel sleepy.

Hello Braxton,

Sorry to hear you are sick , hope that you get feeling better soon. I started to really see "visible" results from my photoreading after a few weeks of photoreading.

Personally, in my experience, photoreading the photoreading book at least 3 or 4 times a day for a month will definitely sharpen your skills and make things just click.

In my experience, the best tricks and keys to photoreading success is:

1. Take care of yourself. Try to keep your food nutrition high quality at all times, lots of water, fresh fruits and vegs, lots of nuts, regular exercise, regular rest.

2. Completely read the photoreading course and book. Know it like the back of your hand.

3. Playfully practice over and over. (I made it a goal to photoread Photoreading book at least 3 to 4 times a day for the first month)


Since Alex is the moderator here, he will probably be able to give some feedback on that as well and even more tips.

Photoreading takes a lot of energy, because your mind is processing a lot of information, so if you feel you must photoread, I'd advise maybe just one or two books and then have some fresh, high quality food and water afterwards. Also, daily multi-vitamins and 1000mg Vitamin C works for me.

Get well soon my friend.

Thanks for the tips!

I love how supportive this forum.

I photoread a book last night on my ipad just before bed. As you may have already known the blip doesn't work on an ipad, so what I did was focus on the outer case of my ipad and what ever was on the background (my desk). What I notice after photoreading and looking away from the book is that everything everything seems to be further away and things were more clear in my peripherals. I was texting my girlfriend and it felt like watching a 3d movie on my phone. Have I just experience the photofocus state?

Noticing more with your peripheral vision is similar to photo focus. Although most thing seem closer and sharper with photofocus after you've trained the eyes to get into that state.

Do you mean that with practice instead of seeing a blur everything will become clear when photofocusing? (in general I'm not refering specifically to books)

Yes and no. It may never become clear for people with some form of vision problem. That doesn't affect the PhotoReading skill it just means if you need glasses and PhotoRead with them on it may hold your peripheral focus to the limit of the lenses. That doesn't affect one's PhotoReading skill, it just means that playing with magic eye images continues to take longer to get that really nice clarity that those without vision problems seem to achieve easily enough.
