Enter trance by yourself

Psychic master — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:55:24 +0000

In order to induce trance spontaneously in yourself you should proceed, more or less as follows:

Begin by gazing for some time at a bright object, such as a reflected light, coming from a mirror, crystal-ball, etc.

This will tend to tire the eyes and nerves slightly and bring about a dazed condition which is usually the beginning of trance. While looking at the bright object, breathe deeply and regularly through the nose and from the diaphragm. You must not let this distract your attention, however, as all the bodily processes should be unconscious. If you have already practiced deep breathing, as before explained, you should by this time be so far advanced that you can do so at will without consciously thinking of it.

While looking at the bright object, do not concentrate or think of anything in particular, beyond keeping yourself conscious and remembering all the time that you are “yourself,” that you are not leaving your body and that you are not going to become totally unconscious.

During this process the room should be as quiet as possible, though some monotonous sound such as the ticking of a large clock, might assist matters. Do not listen to this consciously, however abolish all feelings of fear and all anxiety, as such mental states will effectually prevent you from entering the trance condition. “Let yourself go” and develop as far as possible.

Light and deep trance

There are all grades and degrees of trance, from the very light stage, in which there is but little difference from the ordinary waking consciousness, to that degree of deep trance where the medium is totally unconscious of everything that passes around him. Very deep trance of this character is rare, but many of the most famous mediums have got their best messages while in that condition. The famous Mrs. Piper of Boston had almost to die, to all outward appearances, before she could enter this deep trance, and at the end of two hours or so, during which the trance lasted, the only signs of life were slow respiration and heart beat. The only signs of consciousness were manifest in the right hand and arm which did the automatic-writing.
Many test-mediums and sensitives, on the other hand, pass into a stage of trance so light, that no one but an expert could detect any trance at all. Yet, in many such cases, no memory of the condition remains after the trance is finished. These light trances differ but slightly from cases of day-dreams, absent-mindedness, etc., when we say to a person, half in joke: “You are in a trance!” By shades and degrees this becomes deeper, as the state becomes more profound and lower and lower layers or strata of the subconscious mind are reached, Mrs. Piper had three distinct “layers” of this character. The first differed slightly from the waking state. In this condition she talked. The second condition was far deeper trance and in this stage spirits were seeu instead of human beings. In the third or deepest stage speech was usually absent and automatic writing occurred.

In trance, we may assume that there is a gradual and fluctuating control of the medium’s mind and body by the communicating spirit, and that, as one vacates or is driven out by the invading intelligence, the latter is able to control, more and more effectually, the medium. Just as “two solid bodies cannot be in the same place at the same time,” so two spirit intelligences cannot occupy and control the same body at the same moment.
When once the fact of spirit control is granted, the nature and character of this control remains to be solved. How does the spirit manipulate the brain and nervous mechanism of the medium, to bring about the desired results. What parts of the brain are used, and how? These and many similar questions remain to be answered; and it may take many years of scientific research before we are enabled to answer queries such as these with any degree of confidence.

Inner sensitiveness

Psychic master — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:51:41 +0000

The first thing to do, in cultivating your inner sensitiveness, is to stimulate your physical senses to the point of their highest activity. Endeavour to perceive and feel vibrations unfelt by others, for much depends upon vibration. Train your senses. Then train yourself in seeing auras and in psychometry, as before explained, in this way getting further along the road. Try to see and to feel the emanation coming from people you meet; look at them steadily, and see whether yon cannot discover a sort of hot air or vaporous emanation issuing from their bodies, and radiating out into space. As soon as you have succeeded in this, begin to analyse your feelings and emotions, and interpret them.

Do this, (1) when you touch the person in question; (2) when you receive a letter from him, which you should hold in your hand or between both hands; (3) when you hear him speak and (4) when you merely see him.

When trying these experiments, assume a “listening” attitude and breathe slowly and deeply. (This breathing must not be too conscious, so as to fake your attention, however.) Relax yourself as much as possible during this period. Try in the dark or semi-dark, at first, in the light later on.

When you are walking along the street, cultivate the practice of sensing persons, and seeing their aura. You will soon be able to feel a sort of air or atmosphere about each individual just as there is a definite air or atmosphere about a house or a town. Thus, a manufacturing town has quite a different “atmosphere” from one which is not. You will soon be able to get this, in a general manner.
After you have progressed thus far, you should endeavour to feel any cuts, bruises, pains, etc., which may be upon a person’s body. You should do this, at first, by passing your open hands gently over the surface of the body, and, as soon as you come to the spot which is sensitive and sore, you will feel a slight pain in your own hody in the corresponding place. Before you are able to do this with much success, however, you should develop certain phases of psychometry, as for instance the following.
Make a number of small paper packages, all exactly alike in appearance. In these place salt, pepper, mustard, cloves, nutmeg, sugar, cayenne, etc. Mix these all up so that you cannot tell which is which. Now practise feeling or handling these until you can tell the contents of any given package by merely feeling the paper in which it is wrapped. As soon as you have done this, you are ready for more advanced practices.
Having progressed thus far, you are in a position to try your first experiments in psychical diagnosis. Pass your hands over the body of your patient, (who should be divested of as many clothes as possible), and if your sensitiveness has begun to develop, you will feel a pain or some sensation in your hand or arm, or in some corresponding part of your own body, as you reach the diseased spot in your patient’s body. Cultivate this until you can succeed with more or less certainty and precision. The more you practise this, the more perfect you will become, and the more rapid your advancement will be.

When you have reached this stage, you must go one step further. Having located the seat of the trouble, and its general nature, you must seek to know how to cure it. Hold the mind in a receptive attitude, when doing this, and you will soon begin to receive the distinct impression that you must do something for the patient but you will not know as yet what it is. After a little time, you will get the distinct impression what to do to make certain passes or manipulations, to prescribe a certain drug, to apply certain water applications, etc. As soon as you have reached this stage, you are on the high-road to becoming a successful “spiritual healer” and your power will develop with every sitting. It would be well for you, at this stage, to sit by yourself especially for development in this direction; and added power will doubtless be given you with wich to work your cures.
