Practicing Occultism Neuro divergent

it is a discernable shift. You will notice the change both physically and mentally. You are unlikely to wonder if you are in a trance. but don't seek it out in the meditation. Trance is a state reached by passivity, earlier you asked about binaural beats etc and I forgot to mention it. You do not want to use anything that brings your awareness to the outside world. Later when you are more advanced that won't be as much of a problem, but until then it's better to do it without it.

Nothing will teach you as much about the feeling of it than doing it though. I would be surprised if you could go 30 minutes without interruption and not be in a light trance by the end of it. Eventually it will be instant, or maybe 5 minutes if you're a bit scattered.

How would you describe this shift? I'm wondering if it feels different for different people. I've had instances during meditation that feel like a blanket has suddenly dropped over my senses and an additional clarity inside my head appears. Like it suddenly becomes easier to focus on my own thoughts, and fewer random thoughts pop into my head. Is that sort of what it's like?

That definitely sounds like a trance state, in deeper levels the mind goes completely blank/silent as well, which for someone who has one song or another endlessly looping in the background of their mind, is very nice lol. but that's all much later in the practice. When your mind is truly quiet is when you can hear the universe around you.

Honestly the best advice I could give is just to earnestly try it for a week or two and journal the experience. Note the physical and mental experiences the practice produces, see if it seems like the right practice for you. See if you can do 20 minutes a day. if that is too much, walk it back to a manageable time for you, and slowly increase as you can.
