After Reading

1. Repeat the eye movement - breathing exercise.
2. Let your body relax and recall the “movie” you’ve just created in your mind as you read the material.
3. Ask yourself several open-ended questions:

“What did I like about this material?”
“How did I grow from this material?”
“What do I know now from this material?”
“How is this material like my life? - How is it different?”
“Would I like to read more of this author’s material? - why?”

Tips and Pointers
1. Soft focus on the page - take in a snapshot of whole pages at once.
2. Trust that you have a picture in your mind of the material.
3. Relax and enjoy the journey - you do know the material.
4. Find a natural rhythm that you will continue to the end (ALWAYS move forward - even when you don’t think you “got” the material).
5. At the middle point (where you read before) check to see if your original ideas need modification - DO NOT STOP - always continue forward to the end.
6. Remain flexible - changing your concepts and pictures of the material as you continue. Avoid locking on to an idea and discarding additional evidence.
7. It is better to read the whole thing than to read part now and part later - at light speed the material will take you very little time - so read the whole thing or choose another time to read.
8. At first, choose 6th grade level material (newspapers are written at this level) to develop your skills. Progress to more difficult material when you are sure of your skills.
9. Remember that light-speed reading is a skill and requires practice.
10. Patch your eyes often to develop your brain’s light-speed reading capability.
11. If any anxiety develops during the process of light-speed reading, seek out a qualified Rapid Eye Technician to assist you in discharging and relieving the anxiety. Anxiety will take you immediately out of light-speed mode.
12. Daydreaming (seeing pictures and experiences while awake) is desirable in the light-speed reading process. This point is very valuable to parents teaching this process to their children: when the reader is in absolute synchronization with the writer of the material, a dream will occur in which the reader will “experience” the material. This is extremely valuable to the reader - it means that they “got” the material on a cellular level (the material is “embodied” in the reader). Rejoice!
