Trance Induction and Spiritual Growth

Nice long article on trance induction and spiritual growth: The Essence of Hypnotic Trance Induction

Haven't had time to read it all, but it looks worthwhile. Nicely illustrated too.

It recommends (and links) three other articles as background info:

Evoking Higher Spiritual Powers

Hypnotic Trance in Spiritual Development

Expanding Human Consciousness

All the articles are nicely illustrated and have internal links as well. They also list referances, so it at least appears to have some academic rigor.

The powers of hypnosis remain a fascinating and controversial topic to this day. It seems like it has been losing favor as a means of recovering lost memories. But as a means of self exploration and growth, I think it still has a lot of potential.
