Faster Reading with Hypnosis

Being able to read fast is one thing. Being able to read fast and actually retain what you have read is another. There are so many benefits to being able to read faster and remember what it is you have read. This can help you to do better in business and have a more enjoyable personal life by being able to read all of those books people talk about, but you don’t have time for.

A recent study was done using hypnotherapy and reading speeds. The student chosen for the study were college students with low test scores and histories of academic failure. Each student in the study was given an hour long hypnotherapy session where they were taught self hypnosis techniques and told you use these techniques before reading.

In the study the students were broken into three groups, not including the control group. The first group was of students who used self hypnosis less than five times. The second group consisted of students who used self hypnosis from five to nine times. The final group was of students who used self hypnosis more than nine times.

The study group on a whole had gains in vocabulary and comprehension test scores. These numbers were much higher than the control group. The study went further to show that the students who used the self hypnosis techniques more often have even greater improvement than the students who only used it a few times. This is just one study that shows how self hypnosis can increase reading performance and comprehension.

Typically an individual can read about 240 words a minute, but this number has been proven to be increased. There are many places where you can find information about speed reading or other forms of fast reading. Some of these programs say they can increase reading speed to 25,000 words per minute. That is quite the jump!

The shift in reading times is done by teaching your brain to use more of itself. We use a very small percentage of our brain to deal with day to day activities. When our brains are fully engaged we are able to do things much faster than the average person could imaging. One great way to tap into this process is with hypnosis.

Hypnosis can help you learn to photograph an entire page of a book, by using the entire brain and not just the right or the left side reading taking on a whole new possibility. Hypnosis can help show your brain how to work together. Hypnosis can get past your talking self and work directly with the subconscious to bring major changes into your life. Whether you want to quit smoking or read faster hypnosis can help your brain to function like you want it to.

Of course, there are other ways and tricks that you can use to read faster. You might be able to increase your reading speed by 30 times if you try some of these simple techniques for faster reading:

Don’t say each word – You might not realize you do this, but people tend to say each work in their minds while reading. By not saying each word individually you will increase your reading speed.

Let your fingers do the walking – By using your finger along the lines of the page your eyes will be more focused and you will be able to read quicker.
Snake finger – Let your finger move in an “S” shape. By letting your finger speed down the page going from one end of text to the other your eyes will move faster and your brain will pick up the words more easily.

Imagination – Picture yourself reading the book before you even start. See how quickly you flip through the pages. See how easily you are able to understand the text. See how quickly you are able to finish the book, remembering it.

Take a sneak peek – Before reading the first work look at the number of pages. Read the back cover. Look at the titles of the chapters. Flip through the book and get a feel for it. This will help you to be more engaged in the story. The more engaged you are the quicker you are likely to read it.
