What Do We Mean by Trance?
Trance states are very natural and occur in everyday life.
You experience them when you are daydreaming, fully engaged in a book or movie, in the “flow” of a project, and other times when the mind is fully focused on something with the ability to tune out surroundings. These are not the same mental states as those associated with mystical experiences through altered consciousness, such as out-of-body experiences and astral travel . Trance states, often induced through meditation, hypnosis, or repetitive rhythmic activities, have been used by various cultures throughout history as a means of connecting with the divine, exploring the depths of the mind, and finding inner peace.
