I have been reading and came across some imformation that says that when photoreading you have very little alpha brain waves. This confused me since that is what I thought was the ideal state of mind. So my question is what is the best (most effective method) to get into the right state? 3 to 1 silva method? counting backwards with affirmations? visualizations? Also I was wondering if the tangerine technique and looking up at a 20 degree angle with your eyes produce the brain states?
