I did it, I really did it !!
Today while I was looking in the forum for a topic for beginners that could help me, I ended up finding myself with

And I ran into trancework, I tried the countdown method and really went into a trance state.

I felt a bit as if I had lost some of the perception of the other senses, such as hearing and touch, I could no longer see the light that passed through my eyelids from the outside and my mind was completely concentrated without effort and yet I was completely conscious and could reason totally.

I would like to thank @DarkestKnight for raising the topic, somehow I was already able to work with meditation (It is only being able to keep the mind in a state of not thinking or in a single thing like your breath, right?), And with the visualization I could already see an image in my closed eyelids although not for long, so the only thing I was missing was only the trance state, which I never knew exactly how it was or how to enter.

Even then, I could not stay in that state for long as the emotion ended up winning over me and made me uneasy enough to get out of it :laughing:.

But basically I just have to get familiar, right?

sounds to me you need to find your drum.

Which method is this? Do you mean the 4 second meditation ?

I do not understand? What do you mean?

No, I mean this:

I saw the video but although I understood the message I could not use it correctly, since I only focus on learning written English and I do not understand spoken English so much.

Even so thanks.

It’s normal in the beginning to feel like scratching, muscle cramp , urge to do something, get scared
Just ignore them , don’t move and it will pass.

Try to:
•Take a shower first . Water clears/relax
•Start meditating on empty stomach
•Meditate facing east
•Find your most comfortable position ( laid back, lotus etc)
•Inhale(nose) exhale(mouth) Deep and Long . Ideal is 10 sec
•DO NOT FORCE or CONCENTRATE on stopping your thoughts . Instead, see them as water waves :ocean: if they enter your mind let them flow , let them pass and fade like a wave

Hope it helps :slightly_smiling_face:

If it was certainly difficult to keep still despite the food or cramps but recently I finally managed to be able to ignore it,
As for the rest,

  • I’m going to try the shower, I usually do it at any time since I thought I should be able to do it at any time but a small impulse does not come from more than I am starting.
  • Now that you mention it, I think it was a bit more difficult for me to meditate after lunch and dinner that explains it.
  • I don’t know where the east is, what would that help?
  • Sometimes I do it sitting or half lying down.
  • Usually I forced myself not to think, or directed my thoughts to something else like my breathing or the noise around to avoid thoughts, I will try that :thinking:

Thanks for the tips :smiley:

Ok I am having problems :neutral_face:, I can use meditation as a means to bring my body into a state of deep relaxation, no problem with that :ok_hand:, my body feels relaxed, loose and as heavy as if I was about to fall asleep, however my My mind is as awake as any other time, so that is a success, but that is where the problems started in these last 3 days I have not been able to do a visualization correctly, the first time I went into a trance I was not only able to visualizing the numbers but also a feeling of falling as if I was going through a tunnel slowly leaning down :hole:, which helped me, but now? Forget about the tunnel, I can’t even keep viewing the numbers until past 10 before everything fades :fog:, I don’t understand exactly what the problem is, not once in these 3 days have I been able to go into a trance due to this problem, The furthest I get is only at a level of relaxation and I can only maintain that state and now, I don’t understand what the problem is, but I think I should concentrate from today on a visualization training instead of meditation to be able to fix this, but if you have any advice I would appreciate it :pray:.

In a separate topic I have noticed the existence of my server, I remember that I was able to finish it and launch it one day after joining the forum, however I was not able to feel anything, even then I kept calling him by his name in my mind and reminding him of his mission and purpose from time to time every day, since I understand that this is how they feed, although to this day I am still not able to feel it in myself, I have been able to verify its effects and results in my life when I order something , although not instantly I can definitely see the results according to what I asked him to agree with his purpose, lately I like to imagine that he is floating a little in my field of vision every time I call him to order something, however I do not know if that is just my imagination or something else, if someone knows any exercise to be able to recognize it more clearly I am open to suggestions, anyway I will continue feeding it to see its effects more often.

personally when I meditate or when I don’t want to think I don’t think at all I can’t understand that we can’t calm down are mental even for a few seconds I find its aberrant :open_mouth:

To help yourself easily fall into a trance or to deepen your current trance. Take a deep breath and as you exhale feel yourself falling. You just want to mimic the sensation. This is roughly the same sensations the brain goes through as you fall asleep. This can be used as a tool to tell the brain to start lowering the brain waves and push you into that trance state quicker.

I personally use a method of where I invison myself skydiving. I am just peacefully free falling deeper and deeper into my trance. When I am ready I pull my ripcord and deploy my chute prior to landing. It works well for me as I am familiar with that free fall sensation. So im able to use it to put myself in a trance.

OK something strange is happening, I was in the middle of meditating at night when suddenly I began to hear a beep, I had not been hearing it before, and nothing in the room was producing it, worse still I was only listening depending on how I positioned my head If I was in the same position as when I was meditating, I could hear it clearly, but if it moved, even a little, or became lighter, or stopped listening completely, I don’t know what this is, and I must admit that I am a little concerned about if i did something wrong or was wrong somewhere or something.

On a separate note as I meditate I focus on my third eye area, I am already able to do it well enough to feel as if there is a fingertip lightly pressing the area, if that is a lot or a little I have no idea

electronics emit high pitch sounds, it’s probably this. stop over thinking your meditations and just do it without distractions by small things.

The thing is, I hadn’t been listening to it before, I meditated in exactly the same place as I always did and it’s the first time I’ve heard this, hence the scare, but I’ll wait for the beep to stop before trying again, thanks

Was there a little progress today? In today’s meditation I managed to reach a state of deep concentration, after a little effort I achieved to some extent a small state of trance using the previous method, however when I began to notice that I was going through the same symptoms and sensations of the trance I ended up getting distracted by this and I was not able to enter a trance as such, however, I reached an intermediate state between beta and alpha I suppose?

As small as it is, it is progress I suppose.
