597.1MANTIS::PAREWhat a long, strange trip its beenThu Dec 10 1987 15:294
    Some of my most intense precognitive experiences took place under self-
    hypnotic trance or trance induced sleep.  The time frame seemed
    to be about 6 months (approximately) before the actual events occured.
    
597.2Meditation & HypnosisSHRBIZ::WAINELindaThu Dec 10 1987 16:3833
    
    I think that a hypnotic trance is a prelude to a meditational trance
    and astral projection (out-of-body experiences).
    
    After I had graduated from college, I started going to a therapist,
    who was a psych professor at my college, for an eating disorder and
    depression.  He started doing hypnosis with me, hoping to relieve
    some of the stress which he thought was causing my condition.  Well,
    each time I had a hypnosis session, the "deeper" I'd go and the
    longer it took to "come back".  My therapist eventually stopped
    using hypnosis on me because it was taking 20-30 minutes to "bring
    me back".  He had said he had never seen anyone "go so deep" before.
    (I think he was getting nervous...)
    
    Before the sessions, I was having some psychic experiences; but
    during and after the hypnosis sessions, these psychic experiences
    (premonitions, etc.) were more frequent and more intense (stronger).
    
    About a year or two after I had stopped these sessions, I became
    involved with a "new-age" group and started meditating regularly.
    I found that it was very easy for me to go "out-of-body" by starting
    the meditation session like my hypnotic sessions (relaxing every
    muscle, etc.).

    Therefore....I think there is a definite connection...
    
    In fact, I would recommend trying hypnosis, a little, if you have difficulty
    meditating.  It just might help.  I think it helped me because it
    gave me something to "go on" when I started meditating.  I sort-of
    knew how meditation felt by my hypnosis experiences, and I built on
    those experiences to something even better...

597.3Recommendations?CSCMA::EINESWind 'em up and let 'em go!Tue Dec 22 1987 15:228
    This subject has interested me for a long time.  There seems to
    be a hynpnosis "clinic" right near me (YWO, WFR) on Flanders Road
    in Westboro, MA.  Is anyone familiar with them?  Or, perhaps you
    know of someone else in the area.  I would be interested in any
    recommendations.
