Here is my understanding:
The tangerine technique focuses your attention behind your head. My interpretation is that it keeps your mind from wandering, much like doodling in a boring class or meeting. It also helps to keep your eyes from focusing too narrowly on the page. Doing the resource level of mind is basically self-hypnosis. You are focusing and opening your mind to suggestion, in this case, the book you're about to Photoread. I don't know that I feel much different when I do the resoruce level of mind, but it does help me to be in the moment.
Alex, can you add some more clarity?
