Youngprer,

The accelerative learning state is ironically also a meditative state. The more often you enter the state deliberately the more it just happens. Research has shown that instead of only dipping into alpha for 2-3 second every minute the meditator utilises alpha as much as 20sec for every minutes while working at beta.

Meditation doesn't have to be sitting still and emptying the mind. The mind can just as well be put to use with paraliminal tapes... stil verrrrry effective. if you listen to at least 2 tapes a day (about an hour)you'll find sleep reducing naturally. If you want to get to know meditation 15 minutes 3 times a day is a good place to start.

I happen to also envy you. From your post I understand that you're about 13... you have a natural tendenacy to dip into alpha more easily, however you are also at the age whe 'regular' schooling starts collapsing the natural nature of the human mind.From what you describe results of your efforts are showing. Keep up the good work and hang onto that talent.
