You said "visualisation" was easy for you.
That in itself is good. I still have trouble visualising concepts--eirher when I read them or they're explained to me.
Has the "Tangerine Technique" worked for you?

Hi Jonah,

The Tangerine Technique was no great problem. A bit different than what I am used to. I did find that holding the imaginary tangerine in my hand, feeling the weight of it and then passing it to my other hand did help. So that when I placed it on my head I could imagine the weight and place my attention there.

We all visualise to some extent. If I asked you what colour (UK spelling) your front door was? You would be able to tell me. Then I would say: Which side is the handle on? And you would certainly answer.

You can visualise. Play with this technique and see if it will help you.

Open your book as usual and close your eyes in preparation for photoreading. Now, imagine yourself walking into the room and seeing that other you, sitting there, just as you are, eyes closed, with the book open.

Make your way over to that other you sitting there and take a peak over one shoulder, to see the book, not in any great detail, just know that you know it is there. Then slide that other you into the "tangerine spot", settle there for a moment or two and then open your eyes with new, soft focus and greater awareness of the whole page.

Let me know how well you did. And play with it in a relaxed playful mood.

Ironic isn't fluro light bothers my brother a lot. He stopped wearing the glasses some years ago but keeps saying he thinks he should get them again since he spends a lot of time working under fluro lights. The flickering although not consciously visable bothers many. The older computer with their flicker were also a problem.

I wonder how may dyslexic children are dyslexic due to fluro lights in school?

Hi Alex,

I don't believe that people "get" dyslexia but one of the signs might be sensitivity to fluorescent lighting.

In my case I was born very permature and weighed only 2pound 10 ounces. I was placed in an oxygen tent. Perhaps I had too much oxygen in those early hours, who knows.

What I do know is that my older brother and younger sister coul both read extremely well before they went to school.

Dyslexia is something to do with the brain being "wired" slightly differently. I have always been in main stream education and until I went to Uni I was always just below average in class exams.

During and after Uni when the system was not so structured I more than excelled, especially in philosophy, epistomology and theology.

Just a few thoughts for you.
