Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Photo-Reading 8 1/2" x 10" sheets in a 3-ring binder

Hi -- I'm trying to photoread a 400 page "book" that consists of 200 regular letter-sized sheets of printer paper (ie, 8 1/2" x 10"), printed on both sides, in a 3-ring binder. I don't have any problems with the "photo-focus" or "soft focus" in general, but 2 of these sheets of paper, side by side, is just literally too wide for my eyes to take in at once. (Unless I move it so far from me that I really CAN'T focus, and I think the tapes say not too do that.) What's the best way to PR something like this? Just view 1 sheet at a time, front-back-front-back, etc.? Would it confuse my brain if I read all the front pages first, then all the back pages after that?
By the way, I am just learning to PR, via the home study tapes.
Thanks.

Hi, i can't help in response to your question. I just wanted to ask some one who was learning the "Photo Reading" method if it was really working for them so far. I only recently seen the advertisments, and like most people at first, i'm a bit skeptical. It seems a little too good to be true right now.

I'm really very interested in this and would love for it to work for me if it has for you. Have you noticed anything significant? Again, sorry for not addressing your question.

I asked Dana that question also. He said to just soft gaze 1 sheet at a time.

Your other question is interesting. I hope he answers it. It would be nice if it was possible to just do all the front pgs. first & then go backwards & do all the back pgs.

You could do all the front pages first, and then the back pages second.

I would recommend doing the PhotoReading step on your loose pages the same way you would on a newspaper. Stand at a table and give your awareness to the outside white margin of the 2 stacks of paper as you turn a page per second in a steady rhythm and comfortable pace. Use the chant, and closing affirmation statements.

It's difficult to do the PhotoReading step incorrectly.
