Recomended sessions to get into a trance state?

Hi :)

I have the Proteus mind machine.
I was wondering what sessions you recommend if I want to achieve the trance state?

Is the Mindlab relaxation 45 min a good preset for others or do you reccomend some other?

Sincerely
Karl

Hi Karl,

The trance state is a definite possibility with any session that spends most of its time in low alpha/theta.

Attached is a nice PDF with charts of all the sessions (I don't know offhand where it came from). The relax session is in the right range, but for trancework as opposed to relaxation, I prefer a lot less frequency changes. The Learning with Tapes session spends a good amount of time just sitting at 8Hz.

I have had great results using the manual mode - I've been known to disappear for over an hour with nothing but the base Schumann Resonance frequency (7.83Hz).

For me it's as much about what I'm doing with my brain as the stimulus I'm providing it. Settling back as a pure observer is the key - any wilful thought can break the "spell". It's useful to have an idea of what "trance" means to you and what you hope to achieve by going there.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on.

Cheers,
Craig

Thanks for the info.
Well, I want to enter the trance state so I can go from there and achive an astral projection/out of body experience.

That would suggest theta as the best option. I'd be inclined to do a standard relaxation session and then switch over to manual mode and lay back and get fully bored with plain 4.5Hz (approx - frequency associated with "shamanic states") until you either get where you're wanting to go or can't stand it any more. Repeat until successful or you have a better idea.

Cheers,
Craig

LOL! That probably sums everything up right there!
