Hi Diablo69er,
IMHO, yes relaxation is a must to PhotoRead. The reason behind this is that by relaxing you calm down your Conscious mind and let the subconscious mind take over. Otherwise you conscious mind will be constantly distracting you. As far as the method for relaxation goes, it will differ from individual to individual.
What I can suggest to you is that one fine day you try PhotoReading with the method suggested in the course. Then next day try PhotoReading with your method of relaxation. Then be your best judge and see what works better for you and use that method.
God Bless You.
Kind regards
Vaibhav Sharma
