Dear Grantman and Alex,
Maybe because I've had this technique at my disposal for so long, I realized it would work with photoreading and so used it. It's easier for me to use my code word than 3-2-1, and then keep going ... which I neglected to say.
Sorry. It is the same, my code word just works quicker for me.
Having this code word technique is generally useful, too. For example, in a tense office setting, I can let tension drain out of me with what amounts to a brief meditation.
