Would you like to increase your reading speed without doing anything? Imagine you are lying down, relaxing, and your speed increases by itself. This doesn’t happen, you say. It happens! Here is a task that needs to be done while lying down, relaxing. Remember everything from childhood that has to do with reading. How did you learn to read, what were you told at that time, how did you pass the reading speed tests, how did you worry, how did you read aloud in front of the class... If you have been insecure about reading since childhood, then it is affecting you right now. Stephen Wolinsky, in The Dark Side of the Inner Child, writes: “The inner child sees the world as frozen; he does not have access to the perception of an adult. The adult living in the here and now is actually hypnotized by the patterns of the wounded inner child, and his reactions have become automatic. He perceives current events not as they really are here and now, but as they once were in the past.” The inner child can seriously limit your abilities. If you look at childhood fears associated with learning to read from the perspective of an adult and realize them, they will disappear. And speed reading abilities are unlocked. Find the books you read in early childhood. Re-read them. Feel the speed of reading. For example, I re-read Suteev’s fairy tales (about colored pencils, three kittens and a hare). As a child, the book seemed very big, but now I read it in a few minutes. And reading lessons in primary school inspired me to take up speed reading. My friend and I read books in advance for extracurricular reading, and for this, the teacher allowed us to play checkers in the back desks during class. Find an emotional memory associated with reading. This will take about 15 minutes of relaxing lying on the couch. Remember it and your reading speed will increase by itself..
