No it is not holotropic breathing. Holotropic is what my father called it and that is why I described it. It was also reading the sentences backwards. The idea is NOT to sound out the words (even in your head) as that slows you down and limits you to about 375-385 words per minute.
For example, on a page you would finish one line with the speed of the wave (using your finger as a pointer) going from the left ear to the right ear and then read the following line backward with the wave going from your right ear to your left ear (again with your finger) and you would continue this until stopping. As the speed continued to increase across sessions, I would then practice without the device for a session, then return to using the device on yet another session (increasing the speed at which the wave passes between the ears) and so on.
This combined with the memory work (I had a strong memory to begin) was one of the pivotal things in my life as it laid the foundation to make my academic work easy. In graduate school, students are given thousands and thousands of pages to read per week and they want you to skim and prioritize. As a full time military officer, these skills were golden with classes in the evening (and I worked out a lot as well), and I when did not have duties during the day because they sent me to school, I had a lot of extra time to approach women and train full time with the collegiate athletes.
