Today, we will be doing our first real “reading” exercises. Before we do any reading, however, we will do the Center of Creation imagery - it is probably quite easy to do by now.

Follow the directions in the following section with a book from the library. First, read the entire procedure out loud to the participants. Be sure you all understand the process before anyone begins. Do all the preparatory exercises today. Tomorrow we will “read.”

Pay particular attention to the eye exercises and the breathing techniques. Since reading is a visual process it is important to prepare your “tools” before using them. Performing good preventative maintenance on your eyes and stress levels is imperative in the Light-Speed Reading program. Performing RET on any stressful thoughts or beliefs about reading is imperative.

It is important that you follow the directions in the following section exactly. Modify them only after you have followed them to the letter for at least four weeks. This is important because the left, controlling, serial-oriented brain hemisphere will want to return you to the old one-word-at-a-time, sounded-out reading process learned in school. It is our intent to extend ourselves beyond this limitation.
