Category: Trancework

You are in a trance. To begin and maintain a trance is natural. Our bodies and brains naturally want to do it. Failure to achieve a functional waking world trance can lead to insanity. When you induce a trance what you are in truth doing is breaking your default trance. You only ever effectively communicate something to someone when you briefly break their trance. You have to momentarily suspend their pattern of perception before they can share any part of yours.


You have natural trances and social trances. There are also abstract trances and artificial trances. The purpose of any trance induction process is to unlock your reality, open the door to a neighbouring reality.


“We are all in a post-hypnotic trance induced in early infancy” R. D. Laing (British psychiatrist. 1927-1989)

  • You’re in a Trance

    You’re in a Trance

    First point, and perhaps the most fundamental point tonight. You are in a trance. How do you feel about that? A bit nervous. You are in a trance and even recent research backs that up. In your day to day waking consciousness, your visual scanning pattern (rather than being drawn by actual physical stimuli) follows…

  • Trance Work

    Trance Work

    There are many methods of doing what most people call inducing a trance. In fact, when you induce a trance what you are in truth doing is breaking your default trance. All trance work methods involve holding the attention still, stopping the swinging pendulum of attention from keeping it in the dream of “real life.”…

  • Music of Life

    Music of Life

    Are all battles really battles? Could they be dances? They are dances, because ultimately it’s all music. The mind functions like music. Science is discovering this more and more, and the line between human music and say animal music, is a blurry territory at best. You start out with a slow tempo trance, delta wave…

  • Playing Out It’s Song

    Playing Out It’s Song

    So you have natural trances and social trances. There are also abstract trances and artificial trances. I was wondering about “past life” trances. Ah, those border between the domain of abstract trance and social trance. They aren’t rigidly separated from each other. But to clarify the abstract trance, there is a range of awareness that…

  • Trance Induction

    Trance Induction

    Now the method of trance induction actually does matter, and your favourite trance induction method will shape every other experience you have. If you favour Buddhist meditation techniques, everything will look Buddhist. If you favour dancing to techno music under whirling laser light, everything will look like a “rave.” We see the world as we are, not as it is? Exactly.…

  • Shifting in Reality

    Shifting in Reality

    I feel a twinge in my belly when I get writers block. I feel my trance is not working for me but if I just start I could loosen the blockage. Forcing comes from the trance. It keeps the trance in place. It’s the idea that an activity must be done in a specific way,…

  • Unlock Your Reality

    Unlock Your Reality

    Some use narcotics to get their trance. Do they really help or do they do more harm than good? They do more harm than good, and they don’t provide any new energy to your trance, normally. Like some cultures will breath in some smokey stuff. Ah, entheogens, they are a crutch. I have considered that…

  • Patterns Show Up

    Patterns Show Up

    What color is Tuesday? Tuesday is white, Monday blue. It’s actually irrelevant. I have a lot of associations that are just noise. They are noise even to me in that they form only the fringe of other patterns, but my brain forms patterns in sensation and thoughts and emotions and memories that are maybe atypical.…
