I was photoreading a book in German today. Everything went normally until I got to the point where I was about to do the usual chant when I had a this-doesn't-feel-right sensation, and started chanting in German instead. "Much better," I thought. I didn't really know how to translate the usual "Relax..." chant, so I chanted the only German phrase I was sure of at the time; the title of the book. The title and subtitle together made a very tidy cadence. It worked wonderfully, and
felt right, too.
The concept seems very much like the above for having a better sense of purpose for that particular book.
Maybe I'll use the title as a chant for books in English, too.
