I am interested in inducing trance states. I have been doing self-hypnosis for a while with a program that allows the user to create their own sessions. It's nice, in my opinion. I'm interested in going further without the aid of entheogens, although I have access to them. I want to induce trance states to move into the outer invisible world (assuming that hypnosis focuses on the internal world.). Any thoughts, suggestions, resources. Peace and Love

Re: Inducing trance states
Tue, December 12, 2006 - 3:48 PMwhich states are you interested in inducing, and, what trance states are you currently able to access?
Do you know? -

Tue, December 12, 2006 - 6:16 PMNo I don't know. I do self-hypnosis quite frequently, but I don't know what trance state that is. I want to be able to induce a trance that will allow me to have a shamanic journey. -

Wed, December 13, 2006 - 6:50 PMif you don't know, then you are probably only getting to assorted waking alpha conditions. Shamanic journeying happens
in waking theta states.
What are you experiencing so far with your hypnosis practice sprecifically?
the point is that its a slow process of learning in which the later steps depend on having completed earlier steps. -

Wed, December 13, 2006 - 7:09 PMRelaxation, feeling disconnected from my body, wandering thoughts with a dream-like quality. Sometimes I fall asleep, but I'm getting better at not falling asleep the longer I keep at it. thanks. -

Re: Inducing trance states
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 7:12 PMso your goals should be establishing commincation with the different brodmanns brain areas while in an alpha
state; ie; exploration of the psyche and the aspects of self.
Once you have met yourselves, then you can move on toward waking delta and internal silence. -

Re: Inducing trance states
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 7:31 PMDo you have any advice on establishing communication with the different brodmann's brain areas?
It's not like i"ve never pondered the nature of self. I understand that there is more than one "me" at any given moment. And I understand that self is really an illusion of memory, of personal history. -

Re: Inducing trance states
Wed, December 13, 2006 - 7:38 PMfirst look at the actual anatomy. Then go hunting for those voices inside of your head.
each brodmanns brain area has its own internal dialogue, most of them we don't know how to listen to, some of hich are not accesible from
waking alpha, but most of which are.
in dreams, most of the people we meet represent aspects of ourselves.
the different brain regions do different things/ to listen to the internal dialogue of the upper reptile brain, meditative movement. ie; focus on
each brain areas type of functioning as a type of activity.
then do that activity while in trance, and listen for the interface and pay attention to the voice that connects to the ego mind.

Wed, December 13, 2006 - 8:31 PMThanks, I'll spend some time looking at it from this perspective and see what happens.
"Do that activity while in a trance..."
Mentally perform it as a visualization or actually physically perform it? -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

---------
theres a diference? lol.
In order to have ritual for others, one acts on the external stage. In order to have a conversation with a brodmans brain
area, one visualizes oneself engaded in the type of activities specific to that area. BUT; circularly; spending time while
in a beta state working on something also activates that brodmans brain area, so, its kind of like you approach it from
multiple directions simultaneously.
Say for instance you want to sing a sirens song of enchantment that would knock the sox off of anything ever recorded.
visualize yourself singing. visualize yourself singing briskly and loudly with a complex melody. Start a soft deep long aumm.
visualize the siren song in your mind; listen for it, hear it; allow your aum to reach into that brodmans brain area and search
for pattern recognition. your breathing slowly becomes the song; you breathe slowly in and slowly out with aums that are waves rocking the cradle of the spell of your intentions; you are singing a single tone; but you are visualizing a vastly complcated melody.
the brodmans brain area reacts. it begins to think about music a lot. Its a computer as smart as any laptop all by itself. Your the ego mind,
requesting its performance.
you allow yourself to slip slowly into it; you cross the line at some point and become merely the instrument played by your own subconscious; you sing a heartsong; you let slip via sound the matrix of your soul;
and you sing like a songbird and a fast foreward do-whop-be-bop artist;
until you cross that 8 or 10 tones a second range; and drift out of beta states, into a brain state organized by the actual conversation
you are having with the musical areas of the brain.
You let your inner mind take over; and show you what it can do. -

Re: Inducing trance states
Thu, December 14, 2006 - 4:52 PMLet me see if I'm picking up what you're putting down. So singing relates to a specific Brodmann area of the brain. And by focusing on that, visualizing that as one moves into an alpha state, a dialouge is started between that area of the brain and the ego. What would be another example of another brodmann area and and a related activity. Thanks a lot prometheus, I find this very interesting and quite on track with what I've been looking for. Cheers -

correct.

And by focusing on that, visualizing that as one moves into an alpha state, a dialouge is started between that area of the brain and the ego.
------
and the whole brain, potentially leading to an ego less state. ego is the on function of the frontal core, theres an off function, which is as important. To access that off function, one can find ways to focus on other brodmans brain areas to a degree that the ego mind simply doesn't have anything to do. If some other brain area dominates the consciousness, then you aren't in an ego state any more.
escaping the ego state is very much about escaping the type of internal dialogue which the frontal coretex maintains.
---------

--------
lucid visualization/ visions, will allow you enter alpha states, movement, especially at meditative (ultraslow) speeds may help to enter near
delta conditions. I can't do the trick myself, but theres the mathematics brain to consider...
virtually every high end human potential or performace hinges to some extent on finding ways to get these brain regions to dominate
the whole brains conversation. Science even.

good, i hope i can continue to be of service.
