As you say, there's a certain 'state' that seems to be the key to internalizing information efficiently and solidly.<br />What personally interests me even more however, is how to create that in someone else. <br />Teaching, by it's nature, is from the perspective of already knowing, and whilst one can personally access a state once it has become familiar ... how do you create a space in a student so they too can find it, recognize it and gain the ability to recreate it?

Rather like when I have read Rory's books.<br /><br />Again no surprise, but it always make me smile when one realises that accessing the most appropriate learning and performance state in all "natural" skill, whether music, martial arts, archery, acting, sport etc, all work from the same basic principles.The European Historical Combat Guildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425115205496881300noreply@blogger.com
