I'm up in the Northern Virginia area.
You could either activate by rapid reading the book or Mind Map the book. When you mind map you will have a greater chance of recalling the information at a later date, when you rapid read, it's usually better for say . . . Fictional stories (ones you don't have to write a report on)
* The way I activate *
Several people will not do a preview step, and go straight to the photoreading part. After the photoreading, as part of the activation process, they will post view the book (and create the mind map with that in mind). When that is completed, you should relax again, and look at the mind map and see if you can recall anything from the mind map, if not then rapid read the book, and add more branches to my mind map. At some point during the mind map and the rapid reading, I should have more recall of the information and the mind map should start filling in more holes.
Hope that helps.
