I have been doing my best to apply the steps to everything I read for months. Anything is an improvement over the slogging I have had to do through all my reading before I found Photoreading. I have experimented with "purpose" which helped, but I have just really felt the effect of complete relaxation at the start of every session. Not trying so hard is a great relief and lets things work so much more effectively. It is really turning my tremendous amount of reading into a pleasure. Marc
