So much has happened since my last entry here - it's hard to know where to start.
For one thing I attended the Photoreading Retreat that was held mid last month and it was AWESOME!!! If anyone can find a way to attend one of these special events that Learning Strategies holds from time to time I feel that I can completely endorse this company without a shred of reservation. This is such a special company and they have such an amazing staff.
There were well over 120 participants at this 5 day retreat, with attendees coming from all over the globe. It was a wonderful group of people and I made fome great new friends there. Really, that is putting it mildly. Honestly, I felt like I fell in love with just about everyone there - attendees, Learning Strategies staff and any extra family members of those who happened to drop in.
For me - it was a peak life experience connecting with all of these wonderful people, not to mention that I photoread 40 books in one day. I know that sounds like a lot, but I only activated about 4 or 5 of those that day!
By the end of the retreat I had developed my photoreading technique so that it only takes me about one to two minutes to photoread most books, from the point of closing my eyes to being done with that part of the procedure. We were doing activating sessions of 30 minutes at the end, but it was starting to feel like a long time to spend with a book. I found I was done in 20 minutes with many books.
There was a good period of resting after the seminar. I suppose my brain was fairly smoking from all of the data that I had consciously and other than consciously downloaded into it. I felt like I needed to sleep a bit more for the week following the seminar. I have been much more aware of my dreams and therefore I have remembered them and they have been more vivid and meaningful.
Currently I am reading books by the cartload and I am excited to see the effect of all of this new information upon my writing. I am working on a book with a partner and I am also putting together a number of ebooks at this time.
I know that my confidence is definitely effected by the photoreading experience. I know that I have covered my topic. I know that I have what I need to do the writing and that there is a wealth of information available to me in my memory.
Right now I am really enjoying a stack of books by Wayne Dyer. Some interesting stuff there. Also, Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now, and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
