Lesson In Speed Reading

Filed under: Education — Dr. Jay Polmar @ 8:02 am

ACCELERATED PACING METHOD:

Various hand movements can cause acceleration of reading speed. We are about to introduce you to several hand movements that will accelerate your reading ability. Try each one and see which suits you best.

BASIC PACING:

Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.

The process is simple. You’ll replace all your bad habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. Here’s how it breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.

You’ll read without sub-vocalizing. You already know the basics: Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don’t have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.

To understand this concept, you must understand that you’ve got this nemesis, an inner voice who is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your rate of speech won’t limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.

Begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Through the DYNAMIC SPEED READING program you’ll learn to develop these skills which will enhance your reading ability and speed simply by reading.

You’ll be reading twice as fast as you ever have. You’ll retain valuable information and increase your comprehension and improve your grades.

How Can I Get Motivated To Go To School

Filed under: Education — Willis Micheals @ 8:06 am

Is there a problem that you know of, with getting yourself to school? What is stopping you from going there? Or is something holding you back at home? Are there any difficulties with your classmates, your teachers or any other person? Are there any difficulties with the work that you have to do there? Have a think about whether you are finding schoolwork too easy and maybe getting bored? Or perhaps the work is too hard, or you have missed out on something and can’t catch up? Maybe you have difficulty completing homework or projects? Are you having difficulty studying for exams? Do you have a problem with your health, or at home that is worrying you? Maybe a problem with a friend outside school? Perhaps a problem with a parent or guardian is worrying you

Writing down your likes and dislikes about going to school can be helpful. It means you can work out what any difficulties might be so you can work on those. And you can see which things you like and improve on those too. Going to school can have its good points. Learning how to get with other people is an important lesson to learn. And even mixing with other people just on a daily basis can help you learn about that, almost without having to think about it. The give and take of daily talk with your classmates has an important part to play in helping you develop your own take on life and learning to argue logically for your point of view, as well as listen thoughtfully to others. It is also important in learning how to get on with people.

Another important positive benefit in going to school is that physical exercise is normally included. Now not everyone agrees in that being positive! But exercise helps you learn, as well as teaches you co-operation with others and helps keep you fit and healthy. These aspects can all be found elsewhere, besides school but that often means making a deliberate effort to seek out opportunities which could already be part of everyday school life. There can be a downside to school of course. And that might be a reason you don’t want to go. Some subjects or teachers may be boring. Some ideas are difficult to grasp.

It is not always easy to change a bad point into a good one. It means work and it means taking action. Changing can be difficult because it means action here and now, while the future benefit may seem a long time in coming. To make the turn around, you need a goal to work towards. A goal has to be something you can measure, something you can touch or count. A goal is not an airy-fairy aspiration such as “improve myself”. A goal is something like “improve all exam results by 10%”. You can measure that!

Your goal might be to attend 90% of all classes, if this is better than your current attendance! On the other hand, you may want to set a goal for the marks you want to get in a test or exam, or for actually completing and putting in homework or set work.

Improving your school marks may mean doing an extra 30 minutes of homework a night to catch up, or improving your basic skills and knowledge. If you want to make more friends or learn better social skills, you could join a club or take up a sport or activity and take part. Alternatively, you volunteer with a charity or some organisation that needs help.

Fake Online Bachelor Degrees – What Should You Check For?

Filed under: Education — Mary Jackson @ 8:02 am

Along with the growing popularity of obtaining an online Bachelor degrees, many bogus schools have cropped up to cash in, taking advantage of potential students seeking a genuine education to maintain their current level of employment, or achieve specific career goals. Unfortunately, the sales pitch attracts many students who do not possess the time, or the finances, to gain a college education. The main selling points may include easy graduation, no tests or end of semester exams, credit for life experiences, and lower tuition fees. Some diploma mills even have the audacity to make money through bulk emails offering to sell university degrees.

Therefore, with all the confusion generated, how can students sieve out the genuine from the bogus? This may be especially difficult for distance learning programs when students practically make their choices based on what is shown on a website. In many cases, especially for international students, it may not be feasible to visit the physical site of a college before enrolling. With this, making choices will really depend on the appearance and content of a website, which sometimes may not be an accurate judge of the creditability of a college.

One of the best ways to determine credibility is to pay close attention to how the credentials are stated. For example, if an educational institution claims to have nationwide or worldwide accreditation, without revealing which government agency provided the accreditation, it’s possible the college or university probably does not possess the necessary seal of approval to provide legitimate online Bachelor degrees.

The six accreditation agencies given the authority to grant college and university accreditation are entrusted with governing the institutions within their geographical section of the United States as follows: New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU). With specific states for each agency, it is easier to check whether an online learning facility is accredited and registered.

Another tell-tale sign of bogus online bachelor degrees offered is when the university advertises itself through mass-mailing email featuring university degrees for sale. Many bogus distance learning institutions prey on people who are desperate for a degree, but don’t have the time and money to go for proper education. That is why these colleges boast of degrees without any examinations, classes, studying or even waiting. There are even websites that offer online bachelor degrees for just a few hundred dollars which can be ordered and received within 7 days. Furthermore, some of them also have dubious accrediting links, stating accreditation from agencies which are not any one of the six listed above. Additionally, they offer fixed prices for their Master’s, Bachelor’s, and even Doctorate Degrees. Their justification for awarding degrees will be for giving credit to life experiences such as any type of work experience, any educational background, any workshops or community services attended as well as travel experience, hobbies and even on the number of books that a person has read!

In short, with the plethora of bogus degrees already causing employers to question online education, make sure your online Bachelor degree is earned from a college or university accredited by one of the six agencies endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education.

Mary Jackson is the author for online bachelor degrees as well as other accredited distance learning colleges where you can attain your education.

Past Regression – Why It Is Vital To Your Future

Filed under: Education — Lesley Lockwood @ 8:04 am

As more people today begin to believe in reincarnation. It is hard to decide the best way to start on the journey of remembering your past lives.

A good tool that can prove very beneficial when referred back to is a journal. In your journal you will need to record all your thoughts and feelings. Even those that seem inconsequential to you at the time. You also need to write down any emotions that you may feel, as it is generally believed that emotions are a strong link connecting us to our past life or lives. Do not forget that even something as unimportant as an irrational fear of cracks in a sidewalk can prove very useful and need to be made a note of in your journal.

A good way to start this journal is to write down things like your likes and dislikes, phobias, food, being drawn to certain time periods, architecture, food, cultures, and climates. Also add things like times of Dj Vu, talents and occupations, the kind of animals and your personality and maybe even birthmarks.

Your dreams also give clues in your past life. But keep in mind your dreams contain things from your present life as well but write it down anyway.

Another way to go is Past life Regression.

A past life regression therapist guides you through your past life and interprets the information with your help. These therapist are trained professionals who use hypnosis. With time some people can learn to do self-hypnosis but for those who cannot, seeing a past life regression therapist can prove very beneficial and helpful.

For lots of people the method they prefer is meditation.

When meditating there is usually no professional assisting and so many people find it difficult to trust the information they get during their sessions. But trusting your feelings as well as your instincts is necessary with meditation.

Many people, especially beginners, feel like all they are doing when meditating is daydreaming. But something of significance can still come through. Recording this in your journal can prove helpful.

If you need help with your meditation that can assist you to focus and relax then you might well find guided meditation audios particularly beneficial. If that is not for you then you might try music, or perhaps burning some incense, or even listening to the sound of water can be very calming. But if none of the above proves useful there is another tool that can help.

Binaural Beats

With Binaural Beats you listen to different frequencies in each ear that help you to attain the same meditative state that Zen monks can reach. You should choose somewhere quiet and free from any kind of distractions and disturbances. Somewhere that enables you to sit or lie down comfortably.

Keep a positive state of mind and do not allow yourself to be distracted by any thoughts about your daily life. Although it might happen until you gain more experience with meditation. Instead of being completely side tracked try to make a note of it and then put it out of your mind. One thing that you need to remember is that meditation takes practice so do not give up when nothing seems to happen in the beginning. It is when we achieve a proper meditative state that questions will arise, just be prepared to find the answers when you are not expecting to.

This technique maybe of help in resolving issues in your current life. Some people have found that sometimes the people in their current life they have shared with a life with them before. In this way, you can do some research to verify the information received.

Reincarnation is present in every religion from Christianity to the Hindus. Some of these religions so strongly believe in reincarnation that they believe that any thing you do in one life for either good or bad will be paid for in the next life known as Karma. Then again knowing what happened to you in the past life may help you make a positive change in this one.

Keep in mind that you have to go into any of these practices with an open mind and be able to accept that what comes out. Your mind has to accept that it is all right to remember the past life while you are learning to accept the memories that are deeply buried in the subconscious. You have to be willing to learn from your past mistakes and correct them in this one so that this present life is better than the last.

Many experts in these area feel that has very positive impacts on your life now due to fore mentioned, learning from the past and if you still don’t accept past lives your subconscious may free a block in your mind that has had a negative effect on your body. There are other benefits from having done a past life regression.

Helping in deal with things from the past that will help in making better decisions. If the regression brings out something you have done in the past that was less than kind, then suffer negative results from it then you know that you can’t do that in this life.

Another way that past life regression can be beneficial is that from it you may discover that you have talents and/or abilities that you did not know of and that will aid you in enjoying your current life that much more. It can explain talents or abilities that you may have that you never understood before. For instance, perhaps you are good at singing while the rest of the people in your family are tone deaf! The fact that you were a singer in your past life will explain why you ave that ability in your present life.

Past life regression allows you to get to know yourself better, thereby making better decisions and choices n your current life. Therefore it is beneficial to investigate it further, as it helps you to discover just who you are and why you are the way you are.
