How to use this e-book

Fiction is meant to be read from the start to the finish, page by page. Some people approach reading text books this way but the majority don’t. They dip into the book – especially if it has an index – looking for a specific answer to a specific problem.

To get the best from this book, Read the whole of the second chapter first before skipping through to any of the others. This gives the background to the techniques and lays down some fundamental mental skills.

It’s a long chapter so take it easy. Read it once quickly and then read it again doing the exercises as you go through.

 

After completing chapter 2, I recommend that you read Chapter 3, the relaxation chapter, before dipping into the remainder of the book.

 

Most of the other chapters are on specific topic areas. You can dip into them randomly in any order.

Some of the chapters are for recent beginners or go over existing information – with a new slant. Others are for the more intermediate and advanced players.

The chapters on Deep Trance Identification, Borrowed Genius and Perfect Pitch are advanced mental topics and should be left until you have tried and practiced some of the other materials.

The First Appendix is a collection of the tab for all the exercises. This is so that you can just print out the pages you need rather than the whole book when practicing away from the computer. To save paper, when I am printing out e-books I select the two pages on every sheet option. This makes the tab a little small So if you do the same as me and print the books out half size, that’s why the tab is repeated – so you can print just those pages out full size.

Exercises are marked out using this shaded box.
