Qui come si fa il photoreading:

PhotoReading is an excellent system of speed learning devised by Paul
Scheele, and contains elements of NLP, accelerated learning/Suggestopedia,
and the speed reading systems of Tony Buzan and Peter Russell. It uses the
main principles and framework of the Buzan/Russell methods, while adding a
few NLP twists, and of course, Scheele's PhotoReading element itself. IMO
these methods are designed to maximize the speed at which book-information
is organized and made recallable from the brain. It operates under the
principle that the mind has the ability to pick up vast amounts of data at
the unconscious level, and that this information can be accessed, or
'activated' at a later time.

The structure of PR is the same as the Buzan method, but differs in the
techniques used at certain phases. The Buzan/Russell method has the
following steps:
========================================
One: Preparation:

-Planning the reading session, including deciding how much time you want to
spend, the amount of text that you want to cover, etc.
-Reviewing your own level of knowledge about the subject. You can do this
by making a mind map of the topic, and/or using Gabrielle Rico's clustering
method which is similar to mindmapping.

Elroy's Tip: Get feeling of curiousity and free-flowing information
dumping. I like using the clustering method, and very quickly building up
a map of keywords.

-Setting objectives for the reading session: You can ask yourself
questions like, 'What do I want to learn from this book/magazine/article?'
'What do I need to know?' 'What do I want this information for?'

Doing all of this readies the mind to take in the information you want.
You know how when you have a new pair of shoes, every second person that
you see seems to have these shoes? Setting objectives and reviewing your
own knowledge sets your mind to pick up the desired information in just the
same way. Now you are ready to look at the book.
========================================
Two: Overview:

In this stage you won't be reading any of the text itself, you'll just be
looking at things like the title, the contents page, the index pages,
diagrams and other visual aids. Read the intro, the preface. This helps
give you a basic framework upon which to hang the rest of the knowledge in
the book. It primes the mind, letting you know what yo are getting in to.
It also helps you decide whether you want to read the book or not - if
you've picked up a book on the joys of gutting goldfish and you have
already read a number of such books, then a quick glance through the
contents and index and pictures will let you know that you don't need that
book after all.
========================================
Three: Preview:

This involves looking at chapter beginnings and endings, finding summaries,
subsection headings and emphasized text. Again, you are doing this
quickly, adding more to the framework upon which you'll hang the rest of
the detail.
========================================
Four: High speed training:

This is the first place that the Buzan method and Scheele's methods differ.
In most speed reading courses, the hand or a pencil is used as a visual
guide. You would take your hand and run it down the middle of the page at
a rate of about one page per second, and follow the finger with your eyes.

Most of these courses make a big deal about using the hand, in that
following the finger prevents backskipping and wandering. When I first
began speed reading I used the Evelyn Wood method that had you run your
finger just under the line of text you were reading, forcing you to keep up
with the text and take in every word at a rapid rate. This definitely sped
up my reading and prevented any backskipping, but you can only move your
hand under each line so fast, you know?

The next form of speed reading that I learned was called WarpSpeeding, and
it involved going into a state of relaxation mixed with learning, and
running the hand right down the middle of the page as I described before.
My instructor said that when she wa in the right stae, the words that she
wanted to know about would leap out of the page at her, like they were in
3D. This was a major leap ahead of the Evelyn Wood method, but was still
not as good as the PhotoReading method.

Scheele's method:

PR does not make you use your hand as a visual guide. Instead, you place
the open book on a table a little in front of you, and look at the center
of the spine. At this point, you alter the focus point of your vision so
that you can see the whole two pages with your peripheral vision.

You know those Magic Eye pictures that have you shift your point of focus
so that you can see the hidden picture? Same thing. The example that
Scheele uses is that trick you did when you were a kid when you pointed
your index fingers at each other in front of your eyes, and shfted your
focus so that you get that double-pointed phantom finger floating in the
middle.

The trick with PhotoFocus (that's what Scheele calls it) is to shift your
focus so that you see a third 'page' in the middle of the open book where
the spine would be. The words themselves are still clear, and you can read
them in this state if you want to, but the intention is to look at each two
pages briefly, for about one second's duration, and then move on to the
next two.

The Buzan method makes no mention of relaxation techniques prior to the
high-speed learning session. PR starts by having you enter a relaxed state
by imagining a peaceful garden in full VAKOG. In this state, you make the
following affirmations:

-As I PhotoRead, my concentration is absolute.
-All that I PhotoRead makes a lasting impression on my inner mind and is
available to me.
-I desire the information in this book (book's title) to accomplish my
purpose of (state your purpose here).

Elroy's Tip: Before each PR session, you may find it helpful to use a
basic pranayama exercise: Breathe in deeply down to the abdomen for a
count of six heartbeats, and breathe out for a little longer than the
inhale. Do this for a few minutes, keeping the exhale longer than the
inhale. If you know how to do alternate nostril breathing, that's a great
exercise.

Now you assume the position (not that one!). Sit up in your chair with the
book out in front of you. Keep your legs uncrossed, your head up, and your
breathing regular. Open the book and go into PhotoFocus, aiming your gaze
at the center of the spine, while shifting your focus so that you can see a
third strip of page in the middle. Begin to flip the pages steadily and
evenly, about one per second, keeping your eyes directed to the center of
the spine, and that third strip of page in the middle. At the same time,
chant the following out loud to the rhythm of the page turning, one
syllable per turn:

Re - Lax, Re- Lax
Four - Three - Two - One
Re - Lax, Re - Lax
See - The - Page, Keep - The - State.

Continue until you have finished the book/section that you want to have read.

When you finish, close your eyes for a moment, really getting a feeling
that the information has passed through into your unconscious. You know
that it has, it does that all the time anyway, but it's nice to have that
feeling and knowledge in your mind. In this state, say the following
affirmations:

-I acknowledge the feelings I have received from this book
-I I release this information for my body and inner mind to process
-I am curious as to how many ways my body and inner mind can demonstrate
that this information is available to me.

Elroy's Tip: When you say these, or any other affirmations, don't do them
just out of habit or by rote. Do them with the feeling that they are true,
at least for the moment that you are saying them. Think about the meaning
of what you are saying, and get the feeling of the affirmation.

Sit quietly for a bit, five to ten minutes to let the mind continue to
process the information. Then you can go on to:
======================================
Five: Study in depth or Activation:

Here you go back to the text and skim through quickly, looking for the
parts that are most salient to your purpose (remember that you have a
purpose for reading?). When you find such places, skim down the centre of
the page, taking in all that you need to know. I sometimes find that the
Evelyn Wood trick of quickly running a finger under each line is good for
if you want to read a little slower, but still keep up your speed at this
juncture.

Underline the main points using bright coloured pens or markers, make notes
in the margins. The purpose is to fill out the rest of the framework that
you have been building from the beginning.

Make a bright colourful mindmap of what you have just read, using the
points that you have gleaned from the skimming phase.

PhotoReading makes a distinction here. Scheele recommends that another
phase called Rapid Reading take place after Activation. This is much like
normal reading, but since you have already familiarized yourself with much
of the text, it will go much faster and easier this time around. In this
phase I like using the Wood method to keep up my speed and concentration.
======================================
Six: Review

Using your mindmap as a guide, begin to recall out loud or on paper what it
is that you have learned. Doing it in your mind only is no substitute for
physical action. Review once the next morning after you have read the
book(s), then again the next week, then two weeks, etc. I personally find
it more effective to recall and review every day or so, making new mindmaps
and clusterings, while speaking aloud at the same time. Another way is to
tell someone else about what you have learned. This makes you place
everything into some kind of logical order, as well as clarifying things in
your mind.
======================================


And there you have it! While it may seem like a lot on paper, as you keep
using it and practicing, PR very quickly streamlines itself. The process
is very efficient, especially considering the amount of time that goes into
the start and slog method of study that the schools seem so eager to teach us.

One good thing about the Photoreading phase and the Activation/Rapid
Reading phases is that you can go through as many times as you like,
picking up bits and pieces each time, until the information settles in your
mind as a coherent whole. Normally you'd be going from one page to the
next, not letting up until you have got that last page. With this method,
you get what you can with one pass, then go back for another and another
until everything becomes clear to you.

Sometimes I'll do Imagestreaming as the Activation, asking first that as I
imagestream, my unconscious integrates all the information that I have just
read in such a way that I'll be surprised and delighted at how quickly I am
able to use it.

When I'm reading NLP/hypnosis books, I often skip the Activation stage. I
just do the first few steps and then PhotoRead, and then go to sleep. I
often find that the information comes out in my behaviour over the
following days and weeks, which is pretty nice considering the time I spent
'reading'.



be VERY well.

Elroy.
