Mind Expansion Techniques
Breathwork and meditation protocols for mental clarity — 66-page guide + 8 audio sessions.
Practical Example
Try a practical speed reading drill: read a familiar article with a pointer, increase pace gradually, and summarize to reinforce comprehension.
Short Answer
Pick a familiar article and read it using your finger as a guide, moving smoothly under each line. Increase speed gradually while checking comprehension. Afterward, summarize the main points in your own words to reinforce retention.
Step-by-Step Drill (5–8 Minutes)
1) Choose material: A short piece you already understand (news, blog post, essay).
2) Preview: Read headings and the first paragraph to set expectations.
3) Baseline pass: Read for 2 minutes at a comfortable speed using a pointer.
Read for 2 minutes at ~10% faster. Keep the pointer moving; no pausing.
5) Summary check: Write 3 bullets: main point + 2 supporting details.
What to Do If You Get Lost
Don’t immediately reread sentence-by-sentence. First, slow down slightly and continue. If the paragraph still doesn’t make sense, then backtrack once to the start of the paragraph and reread with stronger previewing and chunking.
