Trance is a very popular concept lately. Many of us are in place and do not use it very much in our speech, which confirms its popularity. Only ordinary people associate it with all sorts of mystical teachings: esotericism, yoga, magic and other teachings, which, according to their ideas, do not bring anything except a waste of time and entertainment.
Generally speaking, conditionally, trance is a person's falling out of reality. Exactly. And let evil atheists not be embarrassed, since trance is a scientific concept, which also denotes a state of an altered consciousness, ie same. Although mysticism is very far from science. So what is the difference between trance in the same yoga from psychological trance?
The main difference between this state is that in psychology, trance is a tool that helps a person to significantly increase his effectiveness, get rid of tormenting problems, improve life or health. And falling out of reality is the means by which more of the brain's efforts are directed to, for example, writing articles, producing ideas, composing music. Activating in a trance state, the right hemisphere, being a guide to the world of the unconscious, helps to catch missing information from the information field and transform it into something new, to break patterns.
In mysticism, trance is a simple falling out of reality for the sake of falling out of reality itself. People talk about how "cool" it was. This suggests the conclusion that in the "popular", ubiquitous meaning, trance is not a tool for increasing productivity, but a way to have fun. And in order not to hurt the adherents of these teachings, it can be added that if a person gets some pleasure from the process, then he has fun. That is, there is no negative context behind it.
During a trance, the entire brain is used to achieve a person's goal. Therefore, the same yogis actively stimulate the center in the brain, which is responsible for imagination. Consequently, in various "mystical" societies, it is said that these people saw spirits.
And in fact, they probably saw the products of their own imagination, but because of the deep trance in which they were, they stopped distinguishing fantasy from reality, since they practically left this reality altogether.
That is, we can say that both in mysticism and in psychology, the concept of "trance" means the same thing. The existing difference lies in what is aimed at entering this state. In mysticism, it is aimed at obtaining pleasure, and in psychology - at increasing personal productivity and efficiency.
To put it very simply, in order to enter a trance, it is enough to simply drop in your consciousness all the stimuli that prevent a person from fully concentrating and working, and that's it. No "ohm" is worth remembering.
