Adopt a comfortable, meditative position. Close your eyes and start a mantra sequence (For the purposes of this exercise I pick something pretty random, usually a sequence of consonanted sounds; ka da ma ta ha, for example)
Focus on the mantra until it you can self sustain it non vocally. Keep it going until it has a momentum all of it’s own, then dissociate… imagine that you step out of and away from your body so that you can see yourself and hear the mantra coming from the location you see yourself sat in.
Move further backwards and forwards until the volume and feel of the mantra is comfortable for you. In this spot, in imagination, sit down and start a new mantra (we are working simultaneously with a dissociated and associated self representation here). Be aware of the original mantra sequence cycling round as you initiate the new mantra layer. Again, keep it going until it and the original mantra are both self sustaining, then dissociate again…
Repeat
This is a meditation experiment aimed at developing a deep state of trance in which intentionality and volition remain enabled. The exercise is also part of personal research into multiple trance loops… it seems they can be mutiple and parallel, or multiple and embedded. The levels of recursion one is comfortable with grow with practice.
That’s a really interesting trance method! I like collecting different types of trance methods because it’s always good to expand your repertoire
You can never have too many trance methods
