Hi!
"I just want to know if is easier to keep the state if I Be consciously with the tangerina in back and above my head?"
Why don't you try it? After all, you're the best judge of your response! Play with it. Don't try to force your attention there, but just be aware of the tangerine. Personally, I like to be aware of the tangerine, and it helps me maintain photofocus. Whatever works for you is good, but don't worry too much about the tangerine.
About keeping the state, you are probably better off focussing on the chant and deep breathing. I find it really important to remember to be open, both emotionally and physically. There will be times when your attention will lapse. No big deal. Just bring it back gently to the task at hand. Keep a slight smile on your face - for some reason I don't understand, it helps.
If you're feeling sleepy, you're probably nice and relaxed anyway, and that seems to be an indication that you are in the accelerated learning state. Just keep the photofocus. You sound as though you're doing great!
Cheers,
KWLee
