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...

| 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.
