Michael I think the more that you practice the easier it gets. You talked about your wife having to yell at you about breakfast in another post (I would say that is a definite sign your are in the accelerated learning state).
I agree with Pete. If I am not exactly in state before I start reading then I quickly get into it a few pages in. My accelerated learning state is accompanied by feelings of peace and even breathing. Personally, I find photoreading to be an almost meditative practice. It couses me to feel great and recharged. I honestly feel energized after a photoreading session.
(That wasn't my experience when I first started photoreading. I found it hard work and I would get a headache if I over did it. But with practice a person quickly becomes proficient.)
