I've just started photoreading a couple of days ago and looking through the forums most of my questions have been answered! I am really excited to learn this new skill, and I still haven't had an aha! experience but I will hopefully have one soon!

I was just wondering how much should I photoread?

How Many different books a day should I photoread?

Should I just stick to one at a time? If I do photoread a lot just for practice is it necessary to activate all of the books?

If I photoread a book can i also read it normally for pleasure reading?

Should I photoread a book only once a day or should I photoread the same book multiple times (how much of a difference will it make?)?

After how many weeks should I be experiencing those aha! moments??

oh and one more thing! I speak both italian and english... if I learn how to photoread in english will I automatically also be able to Photoread in Italian?

I know they are a lot of questions but if someone could answer them for me I would be REALLY thankful!!!

There is no one answer fits all. Just like there is no one perfect car or house for each person.

General it seems to me that most questions come from a lack of belief or faith in the system. If you knew it was going to work for you, what would you do? Why are all these questions important to you?

To answer them, it's pretty simple I think. As many as you can. Forget that it is PhotoReading. What if it was learning to ride a bike. How many times would you ride to become a successful rider?

You can PR as many books as you want to. No you don't have to activate all of them fully and systematically. You could activate them in others ways I find, i.e. If you're reading cooking, cooking is a physical skills, that's where the activation comes into play. By doing the physical skill.

Yes

This isn't something I've done personally. If I know I'm going to do lots of "book" activation, I PR it multiple times over several days

if you go looking for this as an end goal, I think you'll miss it and end up waiting a long time. It's much better to PR consistently over a longer period of time.

Recently I was reading a book by Richard Bandler (il potere dell'inconscio e della PNL(I don't know the english title)) and he talks about going into a trance (hypnotizing yourself) Would being in this state improve photoreading abilities??

Follow the course, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Paul has already worked that all out.

Quick super-reading and dipping question! (not worth making a new topic on it

Do I conciously try to see as many words as possible while going down the middle of the page and dip when there are trigger words?


Or do I go down the text without trying to grasp the words and dip when i have a strong feeling that there is valuble information?

In the photoreading book it says to conciously grasp big pieces of text but I haven't understood this part clearly.

Dip when there are words that catch your eye and you get the feeling / sense or see you need to know more. It need not only be trigger words. It will be words that are likely to answer the questions you have for the author.

In the beginning you'll probably dip too much until you learn to recognise your own body mind connection that says. Here is the answer you are looking for.
