There are the usual ways of studying Torah. These are great.

Do people here find that other ways also, that they have worked out or been told, are also helpful, particularly when one is trying to sove a problem of some sort ?

I don't seek it out, but I have heard many come to mention that things happening in our daily lives often are found related to thing we read in that week's parsha.

Earlier this week I had the occasion to be learning an esoteric subject with a rabbi regarding Har Sinai, and today with a telephone chavrusa the mishna we were reading quoted a passuk related to the original Har Sinai experience which emphasized a particular word in the passuk. That word provided a confirmation of the original point we were discussing by which the rabbi brought up Har Sinai as an explanation.

Yes, I find that too. Such "coincidences" are always happening for me. I just have to remain observant and with an open, expectant mind.

Maybe I am being too impatient to use more methods. But I don't think this is altogether true as it seems the sages did use special ways. But I am still learning about this and that takes time (too much time, it sometimes seems)
