Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer question

It's like riding a bike. Once you know how it only takes a few minutes to get back into it.

You don't need to practice photoreading for 2 hours a day. Just use the steps whenever you have something to read. Articles and emails you don't need to incubate often a superread and dip is enough.

If you want to get the feel for photoreading just photoread 5 to 10 books a day for a month or 2 that only takes about 10 to 20 minutes in total. Activate one of those book fully each week. At 30 minutes for one activation pass over 5 days like the 5 day test. You're then well on the way to using the photoreading system naturally.

Alexk:could you tell me ,when you imagine the tangerine over your head,what the image you can see.i just don't know the image is like you look at the tangerine through the back of your head or like you look at the back of your head through the tangerine,i mean the image is like lookupon or lookdown?
does i make myself clearly?

alexk;in the discussion forum i see someone say: One of the techniques that works great for me in getting into the "ideal state for learning" is as follows (I learned this from a mind enhancing book several years ago, and have adapted it to PhotoReading)
1) Close your eyes
2) While keeping your eyes closed, rotate your eyes 40 degrees toward the top of your head. Pretend you are trying to look at your eyebrows from "inside" your eye cavity.
3) This will immediately get your mind into a natural relaxed state; and your eyes will feel very relieved (kind of like your neck feels when you get a neck rub)
4) While keeping this posture you will immediately begin to feel a sensation on the top/back of your head. All you have to do is imagine it's a tangerine sitting there.
5) Take 3 deep breaths, relax your body.
6) Remind yourself to "widen your vision"

is that relly working,is that true?

I remember an image of a tangerine or mandarine and touch the top back part of my head. That way I don't have to keep seeing the image but get a feel for it.

Rotating the eyes 20 degrees above the horizontal is enough. This removes you from trying to see with your physical eyes and helps you to 'see' with your mind. Images you created in your mind are best described as looking through a dirty window you're trying to recognise the shapes. (good trick to try if you have trouble image streaming folks).

Yes it really works. It is known that when you stop trying to 'see' with hard focus your brainwaves slow down from the beta level. By rotating the eyes up slightly (a relaxing postion) it triggers Alpha waves to come in faster.

If you ever get stuck in an exam and need to trigger your mind to respond for an answer keep your head straight and then turn your eyes up toward the ceiling gently it shouldn't hurt and isn't really noticable. It might cause you to want to close your eyes and yes it helps with 'thinking'.

Good way to try it out... imagine that you're looking at the author of the book you're intending to activate. They are sitting in front of you and have invited you to ask them a questions... now you need to think of one... you look above their head without changing the position of your head. You'll find yourself forming questions and you could hear feel or sense the author telling you to 'look in that part of the book'.

Just remember 20 degrees is roughly enough could be a bit more. No need to push it to discomfort it should be a comfortable relaxing feeling that if you were to hold it for a while with your eyes open it causes you to want to close them. That I would say is a good sign that you're now firing off alpha brainwave and are already a good way into the Accelerative Learning State.
