I am from Malaysia as well. How was your photoreading experience up till now. Does it really work?

and do u have any idea of Richard Welch’s program about photoreading

Thanks Ravi for your post.

And here is the science to back it up:

And here is how stupid Americans are for not realizing the value of this program:

Enjoy!

If this post is still active, this is I think a very important discussion. I have purchased the Photoreading CD set, and reclined in a chair and listened to all 8 cds 3 times before finally doing all the steps, to become familiar with the concept and convince myself that it could work.

I tried all of the steps once or twice, but basically settled on skimming the back cover and table of contents, getting in a relaxed state, and then just photoreading the whole book with a timer in 5 minutes. (Most books 200-300 pages in 3-5 minutes if I turn pages aggressively) In a way this demands concentration, but I find it to be *much* easier than reading a book line by line, which would be agonizing and painstakingly slow to my conscious mind.

Before photoreading, I was determined to do a lot of reading (which I hated) to improve my financial situation. I read hundreds of books and was going out of my mind. I am action oriented and sitting still to read was always hell for me. I finally settled on buying a book and reading the entire thing by underlining every line with a pen, turning reading into a kinesthetic / motion exercise. I retained a lot of what I read, but it was agonizing hell, straining the hell out of my conscious mind. I was able to get to 1 min per page = 3 hrs 20 mins for a 180 page book, which was fast for me.

One thing I love about photoreading is that, from the very first time I started doing it (listening to the cd) it put me in a relaxed state, which was always hard for me to do. Also, I noticed that as I turned pages, my conscious mind was hardly stressed, never over stressed, and turning the pages was a breeze since I saw action and saw something happening.

It seems that photoreading engages the right brain while reading, which is *huge* compared to looking at every word with the left brain and translating as you go along (crazy!) This is also very relaxing, and the thing I got from it is that I could usually _feel_ something happen as I photoread, as if I were absorbing something.

I tried photoreading 3 books a day for a few weeks, and then again set a goal for 5 books a day for a few weeks. It is enough I think to get the process down and begin to absorb it if you keep using it. I also photoread the paper each day, trying not to stop and focus on the negatives.

The other day I photoread several books and afterwards I felt as though I had too much and had to digest it, as in eating too much. So I think something is being absorbed. I am very interested in the success stories posted by Learning Strategies Corporation, I tend to believe them, and I would like to test the comprehension of what I have read.

I have seen the NASA study, and I am coming to think that science is too limiting on what it allows, too skeptical, when such a large part of things working is the belief it can work. An example is making money through real estate, where some people conclude it can’t be done, and for them it doesn’t work, while others succeed because they believe they can.

I would like to hear more success stories and results from people who have been using the Photoreading system.

This is Shubham from India…I am so interested in photo reading but couldnt find a way to start with..Even i failed to order the Photo Reading Personal learning course..

Its so nice to hear that someone from India knows about photo reading ..
I will be highly grateful if you kindly tell how to order the course set……

KEEP UP YOUR SPIRIT!!!!!

I am interested in this PhotoReading and decided to try it out. I started yesterday and so far all here are saying the same thing I am or did.

When I started speed reading it did not click in until the 6th day of practicing. I read or saw that page in a second. It scared me, LOL. To speed read though you have to use it or loose it. I am an average read again with skills such as skimming to help me.

I figure this PhotoReading is the same. Use it or loose it. So, here I am testing it out. I will think positive about it. I will do it. See it is how you think, …they say.

As for the NASA part of the Wikipedia article, there are so many claims that PhotoReading works that I can not take one researchers condemnation totally serious, no matter how popular they are. This is a, “I have to see for myself” case.

Good luck everyone with your choice and adventure.
