Weird Tip for Faster Reading
I know this sounds strange, but if you relax the muscles of your mouth and tongue, it stops subvocalization(speaking the words you read in your head) almost completely. I found this out last night after deciding to steal the tip from my Yoga Nidra tape. In the tape, it said that relaxing the mouth and tongue kept thoughts and sounds in your head from surfacing and distracting you during meditation. When I did this while I was reading last night, I could tell that I was reading faster.
I hope that you enjoyed this tip and that you’ll try it out and let me know if it works for you. I think it would be a fun experiment! :)
