I will cover the 3-2-1 method and the countdown method for getting into the state.

The 3-2-1 method

1)Sit in a comfortable chair or lie down in bed, just be totally comfortable.
2)Close you eyes, take in a deep breath and as you release visualize and repeat '3' three times.
3)Breath deep again, as you let the breath out, see and repeat '2' three times.
4)One last time, take in a deep breath. As you release this breath, view and repeat '1' three times. You are now in the photoreading state, you can go deeper as I will cover next.
5) Use the comming out method waaay below.

Going Deeper

You are in the accelerated learning state, keeping your eyes closed tell your self that you will count from 10 to 1 at each number you will go into a deeper, more relaxed state.
*NOTE* Keep your breathing deep and relaxed. Dont hold a breath in if you forget what to say, just continue on the next breath.

Countdown Method

1) Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes.
2) Start at the number 100 and begin counting backwards, visualize the number and tell yourself that at each decending number you will go deeper into the accelerated learning state.
3) By the time you get to one you will be totally into the accelerated learning state, tell yourself this many times as you are counting down. If you get to one and you do not feel like you are all the way there, try the going deeper technique spelled out above. After you use this method many times you may decrease the number to 50, 25, 10, or 3 like above.
4) Use the comming out method, below.

Comming out -- recomended, not stated in book (I dont think)

1) Tell yourself that you will count from 1 to 5, at each level you will come out of the state alittle more. On the count of five you will open your eyes, feeling refreshed and better than before, ready to face whatever comes at you.
2) Start counting up, dont rush!!! After the count of 3 restate this comming out affirmation.
3) On the count of 5 open your eyes, you will feel refreshed and ready to go.

These methods will always work if you give them to practice, effort, and time they deserve. These methods are better defined in the Silva Method tapes, classes and books.

As you are in these states, before you come out, you can give yourself certain affirmations to effect your life.
1) "Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better." (Used in Silva Tapes)
2)For low self-esteem ~~ "I am an increadible person, people look up to me and I can do anything I put my mind too. I feel pride for everything I do."

You can create affirmations for any situation (stop smoking, etc...) as long as you realize one thing, You should only use positive words. NEVER EVER use negative words such as Never, Dont, Cant, these will have the same effect on you as they are described, NEGATIVE.
