Learning State
The learning state is powerful state. Ernest Rossi, studied and worked with Milton Erickson in his book, The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing says; all memory is dependent upon the state in which it occurs. In other words, you best access a memory by getting into the state it was recorded.

Most of the big decisions in life are formed on the basis of insufficient information. It’s helpful to give up the need for knowing and learning everything about something before starting things.
But here’s a technique that you can do to help you with learning what you need to learn.
It’s is a form of self-hypnosis called the learning state that I learned overseas working with the hypnotherapy trainer Dr. Tad James; he developed the technique working with a young kid who was getting bad grades.
So when you’re ready, just pick a spot on the wall above eye level, perhaps even on the ceiling so your field of vision is heading up towards your eyebrows.
As you look at the spot, notice that at the same time you can see things in your wider peripheral vision. If you look at that spot on the wall and totally focus on it, take all of your attention and totally focus in on that spot on the wall and as you do that, notice that you can continue to see things in the periphery.
I’d ask you now to just test how far into the periphery you can see, so take your hand and moving it around in an arc just notice if you can see 180° from your right all the way around to your left, all the while holding your eye steady on that spot on the wall
Now once you’ve got that just notice as you sit there, with your attention maintained now peripherally that you can bring your eyes down to look at things in your field of vision, directly in front of you, and at the same time maintaining your peripheral awareness.
I would like you to imagine a wide river flowing and as you maintain this peripheral learning vision begin to notice now how the river can and flows into your brain. The river just flows in, the wide river of information just flows into your brain.
Now when you finish, so that you’re not overwhelmed you can shrink that river down to a trickle, so that only half a dozen or so things can flow in at a time
When you need the information, you can imagine and bring back that river, that river filled with information just flowing as you go back into the learning state.
In 1957 Richard Penfield, drilled a hole in a woman’s brain and probed it with an electrode, trying to cure her epilepsy and she remembered everything, from a birthday party when aged two.
she could feel the crinoline in her dress, she could see her parents as they looked when she was two and she could see her friends when they were two and the smell and taste of the birthday
Everything that happens is recorded. Everything that happens you – or the child – remembers.
The issue isn’t whether or not you can remember, everyone does, but whether you can get in touch, recall and bring it out when you need
So when you’re ready, let your body find a comfortable position…and just continue to let it relax.
That’s right, just go ahead and look at a point out in front of you, above eye level. And then as you do, first of all just allow your eyes to soften while you are looking at that point. Let your muscles relax…
And begin expanding your awareness…
Eye muscles, facial muscles can just relax…
Around to the side, even the space…
Spreading down into your neck…
Behind you…
Perhaps even your shoulders…all the while you can focus your gaze right on that point…
Then, when you are ready, putting the source of your awareness on your pineal gland communicates information about lighting and your day/night rhythms to various parts of the body, three inches down from the top of your head…
A few inches behind the middle of your forehead ..,and just allow your focus to rest there and you can do that with your eyes open or you can just close them, whichever way is easiest for you to have your awareness behind your eyes …perceiving the world around you…
And then, when you are ready, put the source of your attention all the way up, eighteen inches above the top of your head and slightly behind it…
Notice an image there…
All the while maintaining…
Perhaps of the sun or a flower…
Your awareness…
Or maybe another image of something entirely similar…
Expanding…all the way out…
Or different from any of those that have been suggested so that you can just mark out in space…where exactly…your awareness…would rest…above…your head…
Then, if you would, go ahead and make a suggestion…
Along the lines of…unconscious mind…
Tonight while I sleep soundly and dream…
Please assist me in…
All the while keeping your awareness…the source of your awareness.. .
Way up above, way up…
Source of your awareness…
Way up…up and behind comfortably, safely…and if you would, just go ahead now and repeat that suggestion several times to your unconscious mind…unconscious mind, tonight while I sleep soundly and dream, please assist me…in…to…whatever it is…

And then, bringing your awareness back into your head, the source of your awareness…
Just allow your awareness to just kind of float back down until it is two inches behind the centre of your forehead, the space between your eyes, three inches from the top of your head…
Then begin to move around slightly as you open your eyes but maintain peripheral vision…and then come on back out the whole way. Welcome back!
