I'm still learning the system and as I follow the posts on this forum I see that in most cases the themes relate to the activation or the actual PR step mostly the photofocus and blip. Now I can see the blip but I'm more comfortable with the X-technique and stick to it. But I was wondering about the use of the relax-relax chant during the PR step. It's main purpose is to prevent mind wondering of and getting negative thoughts. It keeps one focused on the thing he/she is doing at the moment, that's photoreading, right? But I have a felling that it does somenthing else as well. In some previous posts I was worried that I don't do the PR step right, that is that I'm not having the correct photofocus and Alex came up with some helpfull stuff among the rest she mentioned that the photofocus is the same as daydreaming (when we daydream we diverge eyes and don't even notice it ). When we daydream we think about something intensely and then we unknowingly diverge eyes and get into photofocus. So when I Pread and concentrate on the internal chanting I have this feelling that I'm in the photofocus without any effort and also in accelerated learning state as well. So I wonder what the rest of you think about this thoughts of mine about the chant:
1. It prevents mind wondering of and negative thoughts getting in (basic idea presented in the course).
2. Sort of puts one into photofocus (if we concentrate on the chant it's hard to also fall into regular focus, it's kind of forced daydreaming if you know what I'm trying to say).
