The trance is habitual for the person and is very important because it helps to overcome overloads and a stress, to get rid of tension, installations strongly are fixed in this state, there takes place visualization more effectively. Therefore many practice this state intentionally. But an original trance – full detachment, relaxation to immovability, delay of breath and heartbeat – it is sometimes difficult to reach.
What can cause difficulties of entry into a trance:
- Inability to relax completely. So occurs when the body is not accustomed to a relaxation. But if to be engaged in it it is constant, to focus on all parts of the body and to train skill of muscular relaxation, it will become habitual, and tension will quicker leave.
- The distracting thoughts. Happens that so far you are adjusted on absolute rest, your mind is distracted by cares, experiences, memoirs...
Treat it simply: fix this fact and again focus on relaxation. As thoughts come, let and will leave. And if it is quite difficult to be released from them – you watch how you breathe. Take a quiet slow breath and a long, free exhalation. Concentrate on feelings – as air fills lungs and as it easily comes out, what it cool on a breath and warm on an exhalation.
- Difficulties with concentration. It is difficult for person to concentrate, he kind of "swims": begins to monitor breath, and immediately breathes automatically, and thinks of something another; the relaxation traces and suddenly loses attention, forgets what needs to be done. In this case it is possible to use special record which will not allow to distract, or in addition to be engaged in the exercises developing concentration. For example, 5 minutes a day to look at a candle flame.
- Natural external sounds. You want to reach a quiet state, and from the street or through a wall the noise which prevents to concentrate reaches. If it irritates you and it seems to you wrong that there is no true, complete silence – you will unconsciously pay attention only to the distracting factors and will not be able to relax in any way. Therefore just accept surrounding sounds, allow them to be. Relax not only physically, but also inside – practice a trance in those conditions what you have. Perceiving external sounds as a natural background, a part of the world around, you quietly will be put in trance more and more deeply.
- Falling asleep. Some people cannot resist drowsiness though they are faced by certain tasks – to get rid of fatigue, tension, to be restored and return then to the affairs. And the dream oversets these plans. If this is so – you sleep just insufficiently and your organism perceives relaxation as long-awaited rest, the trance precedes each falling asleep. Change the mode and the schedule, practice a trance in other time when you feel more actively and more vigorously. Then the problem with falling asleep will be fixed without effort.
- Spontaneous, very fast and entry into a trance is easy. If you use any opportunity for immersion in a trance and long in it stay, you, perhaps, easily will enter this state even then when you do not need it. Try to reduce intensity of psychological loading and have a rest so much how many it is required to you. At the same time be attentive to themselves and if you feel that consciousness "floats" and you "are switched off" - destroy a trance. Make some movement, change a pose, make several vigorous, deep breaths, pound the person.
The main thing is not to lose touch with reality because of such accidental trance. This salutary state helps you to use your reserves, to keep the activity and internal harmony. But it has to submit to you, but not subordinate you to itself.
