Ways To Achieve Inspirational Success

By Sherri LeBeuf

Whether you seek Inspirational Success in your career, in an artistic field, or at some goal such as weight loss or fitness, everyone needs to be inspired in some way. We all seek achievement and accomplishment. Here are a few bits of advice for turning your dreams of inspirational success into reality!

Set Goals

If your desire for success is simply a vague idea in your mind, it can be very hard to put it into practice. However, if it is broken down into attainable goals, it becomes much easier. Goals provide you with specific things to focus on, as well as tangible ways to measure your success. If you are searching for success in a job search, for instance, set a goal of applying to a certain number of jobs each day. If you are trying to lose weight, decide the number of pounds or inches you want to lose in a given time period. If you are a writer, set a goal for the number of words you want to get on paper each day. When your success becomes measurable, it is easier to get started and easier to praise yourself when you have achieved your goals.

Judge Yourself By Your Own Standards

When we measure our own success according to the achievements of others, we risk disappointment. Although we definitely need to look for inspiration and advice from people who have walked a similar path, we need to tailor our goals to our own levels of ability. Push yourself beyond your comfort zone, by all means, but make sure that the goals you set are attainable FOR YOU. That way, you can continue to have little victories, which will in turn motivate you toward further inspirational success.

Be Good to Your Body

Regardless of whether or not your goal has to do with health, a healthy body will help you achieve it. If we are in good physical shape, we are in better mental and emotional shape. Eat foods that increase your energy and alertness. Make time for an exercise routine that you find enjoyable. Whether you choose jogging, yoga, hiking, or simply walking along the river, a regular exercise routine works wonders for your energy level and alertness. Also, make sure that you stay hydrated, and get enough sleep on a consistent schedule.

Reward Your Own Achievements

When you have worked hard and have achieved a goal, make sure you reward yourself. Just like children, we respond well to positive reinforcement. If you aced an interview, allow yourself a night out with friends. If you've lost a dress size, splurge on the dress you've been admiring for weeks. Continue to reward yourself as you make progress along the path toward success.

Seek Inspiration From Others.

Although you don't want to judge yourself by others' standards, it definitely helps to look at people who have made a similar journey. You may set different, specific goals, but you can gain energy and inspiration from other people with similar stories. They may have encountered the same roadblocks you will, and they can have useful advice for overcoming hardships.

These are just a few tips for achieving inspirational success. As you continue along the path toward your goals, you will discover countless methods and tips that you will want to share with others! - 31955

Learn How To Be A Speed Reader

By Dr. Jay Polmar

The world is dominated by life-long learners: people who take the time to learn everything they can about their chosen field and everything they can about corresponding subjects. The 400 most successful businesspeople "the Forbes 400" attribute most of their success to reading at least one non-fiction book a month. But when you have a family and work wants to dominate your time, carving out the time to read all those books can be difficult. New books on every subject are being published every day.

Cutting your reading time in half or even more would give you the ability to simply devour the books you always wanted to read, the books you know you should read, and the ones you need to read to get ahead.

Experience A New Life When You Develop Abundance

By David Elsey

Abundance is a state of mind that leads to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits. Developing abundance, therefore, is as much an internal process as it is an external one. It requires self reflection and honesty for people to heal their lives and attract the best possible opportunities, people and situations into their experience. Sometimes this process can be very challenging but the benefits are enormous.

We can say that people lack abundance when they fail to show that they are satisfied in life. What most people misunderstood about abundance is satisfaction and where to get it. As generally thought of, people would only experience abundance when they are satisfied with material things and wealth. The fact is people would still lack abundance despite their wealth and riches. Some of them would even feel miserable although they are the richest men on earth. This is because most of the wealthiest people do not care to have warm relationship with other people making their lives unhappy and less exciting.

Developing abundance, then, needs to start with the way life is approached including beliefs, thinking patterns and emotional habits. If a person is willing to change the way they think (and speak) about things and to develop mature and positive emotional responses, they can turn their life around.

Although all of us are living in a world that is full of abundance, still it is very annoying that not all people have an abundant life. Perhaps because people tend to neglect the fact that in order to get the abundance full y developed, one should open up the ways through which it will flow. If one will clear the inner being from all the negative emotions and attitudes like unforgiving spirit, worries, anger, guilt, shame, and many more, there is a great possibility that abundance will flow from within.

So if you are determined to develop abundance in your life, you have to face these negative feelings first within yourself. You may have been a victim of cruelty before, but you don't have to remain that way now. The one who is really causing you harm up to this day is not those cruel persons, but you as you continue to live in the past. In order to open the way through which abundance may enter in, you have to help yourself heal inside by forgiving other people who hurt you and let go of the pain and bitterness you have in life.

As you develop your abundance, you also need to develop your personality. Assess yourself of whatever is hindering you from developing abundance within your self and your life. Try to be honest with what you feel, whether it is bad or unacceptable, so that you will better determine which aspect in your life needs concentration and extra time and effort for development.

Changing your mental and emotional personality may not be easy, but now that there are many available ways and techniques to develop your inner being, there is no reason for you to let this chance pass away. Grab the opportunities and use the therapies like cognitive behavior and energy therapy. These principles will help your emerge from dissatisfied to an abundant person.

However, developing abundance is not all about dealing with internal issues. Focussed action is also necessary. By setting goals and creating an action plan to achieve them, people can move from where they are now to where they want to be.

Developing abundance needs planning and actions. But you have to make your actions go in harmony with your beliefs and principles. You can achieve an abundant life with true satisfaction and happiness if you know that you are living in harmony with other people, with yourself, and with your environment. How you look at life will always be a major factor in developing abundance.

Developing abundance is a worthwhile goal. It's not selfish to live an abundant life. In fact, it enables people to be generous to others and frees them from self-focus necessary when struggling to survive. The process of developing abundance usually takes some time, but it is a satisfying journey that transforms individuals and their communities. - 31955

Passing Along To Others Your Knowledge

By Dr. Jay Polmar

Nothing is worse for an avid reader and a lover of books than having a child who hates to read. Reading to a child early in life will help them foster a love of reading and prepare them to read themselves, but sometimes not even that can be enough to foster a love of the written word. Reading parents know that aversion to reading will haunt their child for the rest of his life, making school harder making the rest of their life harder.

But, as any parent knows, you cannot simply say to a 10-year-old who hates reading, "You're going to read and you're going to like it." First, you have to understand why reading is so difficult for your student.

In the school systems today, reading is being taught in an inefficient manner. "Average" readers today read anywhere from 100 words per minute (usually for memorization purposes) to 700 words per minute ("skimming", looking only for specific key words). As the words per minute go up, reading comprehension goes down, and this is borne out in standardized test scores. With the pressure on slower readers of having to finish the reading section and the comprehension questions within a set period of time, most end up turning to "skimming" looking only at key words in the question and then trying to find them in the reading section. This "cheater" method is only reinforced when the test comes back with a good grade (since they were only looking for specific words).

What would you, as a father, pay to not only teach your child a better, faster, and easier way of reading but also one that increases their reading comprehension up to over 80%?

How about nothing? When you purchase Speedread America's Complete Speed Reading Program for yourself, you have Speedread America's permission "even its blessing" to pass the course on to your friends and family members who love to read and would like to read more or who are struggling to read and are on the fence about reading in general.

Imagine your child reading every word on the standardized test page in less than ten seconds and remembering it! How much better will your child feel about him or herself, being the first to finish the test instead of the last? Homework and studying time could be cut in half, or more, giving all of you more family time.

Reports from previous customers of Speedread America have shown that less than a month after beginning the Complete Speed Reading Program Family Edition, students' grades have increased dramatically in some instances rising from a C average to an A in only 21 days!

Dr. Jay Polmar, author of over 40 books, spent years creating the Complete Speed Reading Program, and originally taught it to university students around the United States. Now, he brings his vast knowledge into your home. Bring a love of lifelong learning home to everyone in the family starting at under $70! - 31955

Mentors usually have an extensive network of associates that they have developed over the years. Most will be happy to allow you to tap into that network which will provide you with additional resources to help you in your business.

The Misconception About Clairvoyant Readings

By Julie Elderidge

If we happen to have a clue about what the future brings then it is likely that we will be able have a full control over our lives. For this amazing reason alone, many people becoming appreciative for clairvoyant readings.

The readings are normally done by psychic to gather the crucial information which concerns a location, an object, or a person without the need to employ the five human senses. This is basically a type of extrasensory perception, or an ESP, and a person who can do this process is known with the name of 'clairvoyant.'

The gift of clairvoyant readings is something to behold by the person given by such ability. Although many people view the person with clairvoyant powers as being "weird", the truth of the matter is that having this knack is what makes somebody special. After all, not everyone is gifted with this talent.

There are many ways to get your clairvoyant readings. Nowadays, psychics are reached through their phone hotlines. It is possible for you to get their contact numbers by scanning news magazines, papers, and tuning in a radio.

With the advancement of today's technology, it is amazing to know that the readings can now be done by psychic remotely. This means that you can have your readings through chat sessions, phone conversations, video conferencing, and even by means of email. Because of this, many physics are pleased that they are allowed to open a whole new market for them to do the readings even remotely.

But no matter if you are very thrilled to know something about the future, it is imperative that you do not delve into the same misconception that other people are making. Among the most frequent misconceptions is the belief that clairvoyant can offer an extremely clear and accurate readings. Although they may have a clue about your future, you cannot ask them to tell you the name of the man you are going to marry. If you ask questions like this then how can you still be thrilled of facing the future?

Be aware that psychics are just there to guide you in making a decision for you to be able to find out the possible outcome which plays a big role in shaping your future. In the end, it is still you that has to determine what decisions you'll have to do in your life.

Nevertheless, if you are the one who is doing the clairvoyant readings, keep in mind that it is erroneous to promise people that what you perceive are really those things that are bound to happen. Irregardless of how confident you are regarding a certain vibe, it is still necessary to allow someone to decide about his or her life. It is wrong to control the destiny of your subject. After all, you are just there to guide them.

It is imperative therefore to be careful with your suggestions. Explain personally to your client that what the words you are going to say are not really what they can expect from the future, nevertheless you are just there to serve as a guide.

Being a clairvoyant indeed is a rare gift so be sure to live according to the guidelines that it comes with so you do not disappoint other people in the end and for you not to feel upset in case your readings did not come to authenticity. - 31955

Utilizing The Power Of Subconscious Mind To Remain The Best

By Lisa Boshnack

There are lots of people who now know the power of subconscious mind. They then change their lives to make them better. Most people ask how, and the answers often lead you to the law of attraction or positive thinking. This is an intrinsic power that we all have to influence our lives and our fortune. Other people might say it is simply fate, but others can say that unlucky people actually asked for bad luck to come to them.

Mind power has been used for thousands of years - even as early as the early civilizations which walked the earth. Such power gave others authority and good life, and even gave others good health. How else can you explain the mind-body science and medicine that you have probably heard before? This is simply learning how your mind can help you in such ways.

To make things simple, mind power has been named as a lot of things in the past and the present. You might have heard about positive thinking, or the bigger law of attraction, being connected with our minds. When you look closer, you would simply see that the principles lie in its simplicity: simply think about positive things, and positive things would come to you. When you ask for it, the universe shall give it to you - because you attracted it.

Think of such as this: your mind can generally change just about anything you wish for in your life. If you were born in poverty, you would probably not want to die poor; this mentality is how most people would react to such kind of situation in their lives. In most cases, people who have this mentality are able to get their lives better.

However, there are others who believe otherwise; they simply give up and believe that they would be forever that way. Most times, they stay as they are for as long as they live. It's because their mentality, their mind, dictated the universe to give them what they ask for - poverty.

By actually changing how you think, you harness the power of subconscious mind and put it into action. For example, when you have a job and you actually want to move out of that job because you think there is a better opportunity for you to build your own business, it would eventually work out. Most of the time, you would surely then have a successful business because you believed it - you asked the universe for it.

On the contrary, once you doubt your capabilities, you have a chance to lose or to fail. This would happen if you do not believe in yourself and in your business. In turn, your negative thoughts would backfire against you and come back as negative happenings to your business.

Once you remove all the negative things in your mind, you can be able to utilize the power of subconscious mind. It can help you improve your life, make more money, or even have better health. You just simply have to believe in it, and ask for it. Be open to receive it, as well. Once you become firm and determined as to what you really want to achieve, it would surely be given to you in the right time. - 31955

Your Efficacy in Public Speaking

By Effrim Mary

Public speaking is an obligatory skill to have when you're making an attempt to climb the success ladder or maybe attempting to get through a project for school. A lot of people will tell you that when you're speaking in public to just picture everybody in their underwear, but that doesn't truly work. When you are addressing an audience, you would like to make sure that you are always away of certain main elements ; your body language, your pronunciations, your eye contact with the audience, and your visual assists because it can never hurt to have people see an example of what you are talking about.

And this is occurring now somewhere in the world. A business spokesperson has a good message but it is being clouded BTW its presented. So get those expressions working for you and actually exaggerate the meaning.

You never let your eye off the ball or you will miss a shot. Like sensible, keep your eye contact on the onlookers at all points. Instead have a discuss with your audience with your eyes.

Now let's go to the other intense of your body. Attempt to stand with both feet strongly on the ground just about the same distance apart as your shoulders. Keep them balanced so your body isn't leaning to the side. Don't look like a pussy-cat walk model or if you're supping a pint at the bar of your local.

You don't desire to gawk at the audience, but peek round the room to let each person that is's in the room know that you are talking to them. If you are just reading off index cards, you audience may become bored.

While standing in front of an audience, you want to make sure that your eye contact is level with there. You do not want to gaze at them, but peek around the room to let every person that's in the room know that you are speaking to them. If you stare at the floor the entire time, your audience may get the picture that you aren't extremely confident and don't have a very good idea as to what you're talking about. If you're using index cards for your speech, you need to ensure that you just peek at them and you are not reading off them. If you are just reading off index cards, you audience may become bored. When pointing out portions of your visual help, you want to ensure that you look into the onlookers while using the visible help.

Now, if you're employing a visual help to further get your point across, you want to use as an enhancer not as the main part of the speech. When creating your visible help, you would like to ensure that it is suitably big that the audience will be ready to see it without much interruption in the room. Depending on the environment in which you're going to be talking, you may either use bright and big displays or the classic official looking stats. Whichever you use, you would like to make sure that you mention what you are talking about while keeping eye contact with your audience.

What number of folks I have talked with who haven't any idea what to do with these very handy limbs. Essentially they copy people on television particularly weather girls. It caused me to feel better and comfy such a lot that as quick as I stood up to chat, my two hands came together. When I got truly nervous I used to rub them together too. Someone told me I looked like a market trader making tons of cash. - 31955

How Do You Spell Success In A Home-Based Business? MMMM!

By Steve Sheeren

Anyone who has attempted to work from home can tell you the challenges, obstacles and hurdles associated with running your own business: product shipping and returns headaches, building, training and maintaining your downline, inventory storage and carrying costs, daily/monthly processing of orders, having to play customer service representative..the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, only a very small minority of people who start a home-based business end up with any kind of success. So what is their secret?

Mindset. Motivation. Method. Market. We can call it the 4M model of success in home-based business.

Perhaps the single most important aspect is to have a mindset of success. Entrepreneurs have an unassailable belief that they will achieve their goals. Friends, family, loved ones and colleagues may tell them that their plan or business will never work and that they should get a "real" job, but their inner belief allows them to perservere. They may not have the exact roadmap of how they will achieve their dreams or get to that destination, but there is no question that they WILL arrive there. Along with this mindset is taking action on their goals. Successful home-based business people know that they cannot just "think" their way to success. In fact, this sometimes leads to paralysis by analysis. They take action on their inspirations and the opportunities that arise and that is what truly contributes to their success.

Motivation is the second ingredient for success in a home-based business. Successful entrepreneurs have a very strong "why" behind their business that provides them the energy to go the extra step, to complete the inconvenient task. This "why" could be for any number of reasons: more time with family, greater income, freedom to travel wherever and whenever or even just a passion for helping others. These know that, while they can get a short-term burst of external motivation from a speaker or seminar, its the internal motivation that will consistently drive them to get out of their comfort zones, to grow and to consistently work on achieving their goals.

There is a Method to the madness! Though it sometimes doesn't appear this way from the outside looking in, every successful home-based business entrepreneur has a simple, repeatable process that is key to their success. Some opportunities come with a simple process to follow, while others you will have to create your own. There is a saying that goes something like this: Success leaves clues. In the case of the successful home-based business owner, it is the actions, activities and process they repeat on a daily, weekly and monthly basis that are the clues to their success. Finding a method that works for you is key to your success.

Market. Without a defined, growing market within which to promote your product or service, the chances of success are very slim. There are the very few can create their own markets ( think Apple's iPod, though even that was an extension of the personal music player market ), but for the vast majority of products and services out there, the successful home-based business entrepreneur has found two things: 1. A dynamic and growing market for the product or service they are offering. 2. A sharp focus on a particular group within that market which they target with their advertising. Knowing they are in a growth market and exactly who their customers are gives them a big advantage over their less successful competitors.

There are thousands of home-based business opportunities available for someone who is searching for a change, looking for extra income or just wanting to try something new. Which one is the right one? Which one is best? If you want to give yourself the best chance for success, consider your own Motivation, and then look for an opportunity that nurtures your Mindset, provides a Method and operates within a growing Market. Add a pinch of good fortune and your recipe for success will smell MMMM! - 31955

Day Spa: The Best Place To Rejuvenate Your Tired Body

By Vanessa Miller

Everybody deserves a little treat after a hard day's work. Difficult schedules, financial strife, and emotional stress - all these and more contribute to the tapering energy level of people.

What better means to de-stress than to resign yourself to a cozy massage, a facial treatment, get your nails done... those sort of things. One great destination is a day spa, the place to go to for total relaxation.

A day spa is an unquestionable oasis to those who want to pamper in satisfying body treatments and to just merely be away from the chaos of the outside world. Unlike resort spas, you don't spend the night at day spas.

With the legion of day spas dotting almost every corner, it is crucial, however, to select the right one. Nice day spas should give you that comforting and unwinding feeling that you so loved. The neighborhood should be impeccably clean with robes, slippers, and individual lockers rendered and calming background music on. Check the menu if a certain day spa offers great list of massage, body, and facial services, which should be, of course, performed by professional and highly-trained therapists.

Day spa facilities should include a soothing private treatment room with fresh and clean linens, a lounge with free tea for the guests, a steam bath, and sauna. However, only large day spas could afford steam rooms and sauna. If that isn't your kind of thing, then a regular day spa should be ok.

Momentary highs alright, but the hours spent in a day spa and mollycoddling yourself in comforting various spa treatments are always worth the try. Imagine how a regenerating facial would feel or the kneading and pressing of your tired muscles with a healing essential oil. How about a simple waxing? With a great spa experience, you will be ready to face the needs of life again with revived energy. - 31955

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

Meditation has been around for around two thousand years, it's been a way of life for mankind. In fact every religion that is practiced by men uses some sort of meditation as a way of achieving a higher form of spiritual consciousness.

From its initial use by religious priests, the practice of meditation has also been gradually employed by ordinary people as they too discovered its various benefits.

And since your chakras are such a huge part of your body's physical and metaphysical makeup, with fine tuning of these items our daily lives are affected either directly or indirectly, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and even spiritually.

You have several ways that you can practice the art of chakra meditation, but no matter how you go about doing the meditation you biggest step in the chakra meditation is to allow the state of focus to go and spread throughout the whole body.

Astral Projecting - From A Novice To An Expert

By James P White

Many find astral projecting to be something which is hard to do at first. While each and every one of us has this ability naturally, there are a number of things which can be stumbling blocks along the way as we try to become better at astral projecting. However, its like riding a bike " you havent forgotten how, you just need practice if you want to become expert at this technique.

A common challenge that people face when beginning astral projection is relaxation. In order to be successful at astral projection you have to be deeply relaxed in both mind and body. You are going to need to practice this. There are many techniques that you can use to help your mind and body relax. Both breathing and muscle relaxation techniques can be used.

To make relaxation easier, it always helps to make your environment relaxing. This lets you have a smoother transition to relaxation. A relaxing environment just makes the preparation process for astral projection easier. Here are some tips that you can use when you are getting yourself and your environment ready.

*Be aware of what you are wearing. Try to wear items that are not constricting and that will not distract you. Remove jewelry since it can be distracting.

*You need a dimply lit or dark room for astral projecting - not so dark that you cant see anything, but certainly dark enough that you dont have light penetrating through your closed eyelids.

*Figure out what direction is north before starting. You want to position the room so that you can comfortably lie with your head to the north and your feet tot he south. Watch the sun if you need help. The sun rises in the east and sets in the south.

*You should also make sure that you are completely comfortable. The temperature of the room should keep you comfortable and not too hot or too cold. You may want to adjust your clothing so that you are a good temperature.

*Make sure that there are no distractions. You want to be in a place where there will not be any noise for the whole time that you will be practicing astral projection.

*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.

*Give yourself a mental suggestion so that you can remember what happens during your session. Simply telling yourself that you will remember can help. Have a pen and paper nearby so when you are finished you can record what you remember. Making records will be helpful to allow you to remember what happened.

*Make sure you are always practicing your breathing techniques.

*Direct your gaze to a point of darkness directly a head of your eyes.

*Move your focus to about a foot away and then to six feet away. Focus on this point and ensure that you focus first a foot away and then six feet away.

*Now create a line that runs from that point at six feet away parallel to your body. Go up from the point at a 90 degree angle and then create this parallel line.

These steps and tips are great preparation for astral projection. You must note t6hat mental control is an important part of the process. If you cannot control yourself mentally then you could end up bouncing around the astral plane without any direction. You need control so you can direct what happens when you are astral projecting.

It is possible through astral projection to talk to loved ones that have passed. You may be able to do things that you cannot do in real life. Physical limitations seem to be removed. Chances are you have already done astral projection, but just do not remember it since you did not control it. Many dreams are actually astral projection. Now you can do it on purpose and you can have control. - 31955

Who Invented Speed Reading?

By Dr. Jay Polmar

The worlds most famous speed reading course is Reading Dynamics developed by Evelyn Wood. Its famous for teaching people to read faster, or speed reading as she called it. Her live course was the first known course that taught students to read faster and it started with about 25 hours of training to double the reading speed.

Over time the method was made available all over the world. These well practiced techniques teach students to read more rapidly, and also comprehend more of what they are reading. These techniques have proven to be repeatedly effective with all ages in many countries all over the world.

There are many stories about how Evelyn Wood first learned speed read. My personal favorite was that she, as a child, was fishing at a nearby lake in Utah where she was living. To Evelyn, fishing was a relaxing necessity, but her mind was always active.

When fishing, she brought a book to read until she saw that the float on the fishing line was bobbing. Then she'd reel in the fish. It was said that she read with the sun at her back for natural light, and used her index finger on her dominant hand to track under the words she was reading.

Whenever a fish bit, she just put down the book and started fishing again. That's how it all started.

As she got older, she went to the University of Utah where one professor read and graded her 80-page research paper in just ten minutes. This came to 2,500 words per minute. He didn't know how to tell his student what made it so he could read fast, nor how he developed his ability. He just read and could understand very quickly and efficiently.

Challenged by the potential to read that fast, Evelyn researched and studied fast readers to see if she could improve her reading speed and comprehension too. Then, she began to teach students herself, she figured out that it could be favorable to them if she passed her skills on.

The desire to read faster and comprehend more is Universal. People all over the world were fascinated in, what turned out to be, Evelyn's own techniques for speed reading and comprehension. As she expanded her research and investigation of speed reading, she found people from different parts of the world reading from 1,500 to 6,000 words per minute. All had an impressive level of comprehension proven by their knack for recalling specifics of the text.

She cataloged what each of them did to read faster and she discovered that each had their own traits and all of them had multiple traits in common with the others. along with these:

1. Words were seen, and read, by groups. 2. Readers identified patterns and key words when they scanned text, quickly identifying the purpose and theme behind the writings. 3. Readers also sped up or slowed down with the simplicity or complexity of the reading materials. This permitted them control of levels of comprehension.

Based on this the Evelyn Wood method was developed. Techniques were developed and tested.

In 1959, she was proficient and prepared enough to develop a system that would teach others to speed read as well. Later that year, she opened the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute in Washington DC. John F. Kennedy was the first president to have his White House staff trained by the Evelyn Wood techinque.

Today, the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics Institute no longer exists in the US. The rights were sold off to various publishers to market as courses, self-taught, and the remaining Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics teachers have private instructional practices. Some teachers are still healthy enough in their mid 6os and 70s to still teach the original technique.

Today, the few remaining teachers have departed their secrets to others, who have put the courses online for you to study. Though, you might learn from itinerant speed reading instructors who usually teach classes at community colleges, or private corporations throughout the US and beyond. In New Zealand, Australia, and Western Europe, some offices of the original Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics have survived the creator who past on over 20 years ago.

Since the 1990s, courses became available in audio, video VCR, and later, DVD, adding a convenience that Evelyn could never have even dreamed of when she first taught. Faster reading with greater comprehension can be obtained by students around the world by using the system that Evelyn Wood invented while fishing one sunny day. To find Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics courses, check with www.speedread.org, they carry the audio and video versions to help you double your reading speed and achieve far greater in life. - 31955
