Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer I'm Stumped By The Tangerine

Thanks, Ramon & Andy. So far, nothing has worked. Sigh. I'll keep at it until something does. Oh, and my #2 tape was eaten by my tape recorder. Brand new boombox, too. I've temporarily taped it to get through the program.

Sigh....

This is what you do. Tape a penny or anything small to the back of your head and focus on it. If that doesn't work then bang the back of your head on a wall(lightly) or knock on your head with your fist. Now focus on the point where you banged your head. It should work.

Thanks, Shaan. I'm not usually this dense but I have been trying this with no results. I'll try what you're suggesting. I had placed my fist at that spot on my head but I didn't see any changes.

I think I'm too tense because normally I'm a fast reader and now I notice that I'm not able to preview anything with any sort of memory or comprehension.

Does this happen to anyone else....before they get it????

I have another suggestion. Have someone behind you breathing on the back of your head. Maybe that will work.

Marian,

Thanks for a great question! It led me to experiment with my own photofocus...

You mentioned a "third eye". Having no idea what it means, I invented a third eye between my real eyes. I felt it there. It was like my point of concentration was there, like i was looking from that point and at that point. (If it makes sense). Then i simply moved my third eye to the computer screen and back, playing with it. I moved it through my brains to the back of my head, and there it was! I entered photofocus just like that!! I moved it a bit further backwards, behind me and the photofocus widened even more. The feeling was great!! I was really relaxed.

Maybe this helps you some? At least it was an interesting experience to me! Thanks again!

Shaal--LOL!!! I already have that...two dogs and a cat!!!

Purjo: Great idea!! I'm going to try this out. The third eye idea came from some forms of meditation. It's a place to focus your attention...in a sense..to turn your closed eyes to where a third eye would be and, for me, it puts me immediately into a self-hypnotic state.

Marian--who is even now trying to wipe the drool from the back of my neck. LOL.

Is it neccesary to maintain the tangerine in place throughout the photoreading session?

If you are calm and aware of you presence and not wander off to some thoughts, I don't see the use of the tangerine technique.

Eager:

That is another great question. Do we? I've read several posts where it's mentioned all the time.

Axiously awaiting the answer,

Marian

The tangerine acts as a trigger for the photofocus state. Once you're relaxed and your gaze is open, you don't need to worry about the tangerine.

Thanks, mgrego2--That answers that question nicely.
