Study hints from Win Wenger:

1. Become involved in the visual flow of imagery by planned sensory practice in pleasant contexts, such as your daily run in the park, or while you are staring out the window at the traffic lights. Consistently building visual flow - the imagestream - into one small aspect of daily life gradually at first then dramatically increases its availability in other aspects of the day and night.

2. Alter breath and body motion dramatically, to allow spontaneous states of contemplation to emerge in awareness, bringing with them fresh insights and new understanding with no effort on your part.

3. Breathe the morning clean air, practice pranayama (do a google search for instructions).

4. Increase your neurological contact with the issues you will be addressing - see http://www.winwenger.com/ebooks/btal1.htm

5. Practice makebelieving you are someone else, whose eminent work in the field you are studying you are already passionate; generate emotional juice and learn how to engage the limbic system in a subject.

6. Forget your first understandings, and fiddle around seeking a second then third understandings, each deeper than the one before, by expanding and condensing the details of your notes in an imaginitive way.

7. Make a scene where you automatically become a marvellous learning, just by being part of that scene.
