Which technique do you find most effective for achieving trance or altered states of consciousness?

[dandadan]

What is your preferred method for entering a trance state during your practices?

 

[jbyer]

Repeated motions while listening to meditation music. You should try swaying too. Tap both your legs then your feet. Go slowly and do it over and over again while sitting.

 

[Jvlianvs]

Dancing and breathing, with repetitive sacred music usually. Also sometimes microdosing on psylocybine, but i dont think full on tripping is usually a good idea (see Josephine McCarthy's idea of strengghtening inner muscle)

 

[Eliyel]

The simpler I can keep it, the better. Laying down, getting comfortable, and emptying my mind has always worked best for me. I find that it's easiest first thing in the morning, when I'm still groggy but mentally primed to wake up instead of fall asleep.
