The ideal state for learning. How to get there

Have you ever had to do something but were not in the mood for it? You’re probably looking for a technique that will help you to become alert and in the flow instantly.

Even if you are in the mood for something it is useful to be able to switch yourself on when you are learning something new. Apprehension about your performance can lead to frustration. That makes learning difficult and something you want to avoid. Especially when the student no longer likes the subject. To avoid frustration we need to be alert and relaxed a place where you are calm and present to the learning task. Or we need to be able to return to that open-minded state where can continue to learn.

There are techniques and as you practice them and start using them regularly they become quick and easy to do. There will be times when you need to spend a little longer at getting there. Normally it only takes 3 to 5 minutes even for a beginner and is useful to practise occasionally to help keep the trigger strong.

It helps to practise a short relaxation exercise. You can use techniques you may already be familiar with from audio recordings. The good ones will have helped you to create anchors for each stage of relaxation. Anchors like 3 Physical Relaxation, 2 Mental Relaxation, 1 the target state. The target state has a few names, Accelerated Learning State, Level, ideal state for learning, ideal state of relaxation. The prominent feature of this state is that you are producing more Alpha. It readies your mind and body for instructions and whatever the purpose was for clearing your mind. So the name given to the state often reflects the purpose the instructor had for it. I call it the Accelerated Learning State (ALS)

I like the term Accelerated Learning State or ALS because it most accurately describes the what we can use this state for. To speed up our learning passage. We can to learn; to heal, change a habit, know our spiritual selves, learn information (ESP, Remote Viewing senses) a subject for school. Accessing this state speeds up our progress.

Finding that ideal state for learning, a technique

Create a trigger by using the same symbols each time you use your technique. The symbol can be a number, an animal, a word or phrase. When you think your symbols one after the other they will trigger the memory of your experiences. This makes it easier and faster to enter the target state each time you use it.

Close your eyes. Take a moment to take a deep breath, breath out slowly. Think relax the body Think of the number 3.You can do a head to toe scan to relax your body. Noticing any places with tension and allowing that tension to release. If you have trouble releasing tension make a fist while focusing on the tense area and think of it relaxing and relax your fist at the same time. The physical action will show your body want to do.

Take another deep breath. Breathe out slowly. Think of the number 2 or a symbol. Mentally relax. You do that by letting go of thoughts about the past or the future, You can also think of relaxing scenes for you. When distracting thoughts enter you just put them aside for later and bring your awareness back to the present. Back to what you are doing now.

Take another deep breath breathe out slowly. Think the number 1 or a symbol that for you says you’re there. It might be an image of a plant or flower, something that represents peace. You might hear some words or a phrase that signals you’re there. You might even hear the binge of an elevator door opening (indicator you’ve reached your destination). It might be a physical sensation. In this case create an easy one like a twitch of the finger or toe and use it deliberately. Twitch your finger or toe on purpose when you want to enter the target state.

What to do when you get there.

When you read the Accelerated Learning State you need to set your intent into action. This is were you give yourself affirmations. Not the kind that you parrot over and over to try and change your reality. (‘I am slim and healthy‘ when you are overweight or ‘I like to exercise, when you don’t). No, the affirmations you make here are statements of fact. You’re telling yourself what you want to get out of being in this state.’ When I open my eyes I will… ‘ I am going to notice… I am looking for… I will be alert.. my concentration is...

These affirmations are statements of your intent. They help you focus on your purpose. What you want to do next. Why and how you are going to do it. They clarify your thoughts, You moved your mind to the present moment away from the scattered thoughts and confusion.
