Often for me the trance state comes on suddenly, like throwing a switch. It is really nice to suddenly feel warm and comfortable. It is still very physical, though, and no one has come to visit me in this state yet.
It doesn't sound like the vibrations, but I suspect that they don't have to start out feeling like an earthquake. They haven't ever come for me, either. They don't have to be there for you to project. Some people don't get them until after they project. :)
Better late than never for a response?
Hello all- I've been practicing NEW and the trance exercises from Roberts book and last night I believe that I reached a really good trace state, using the "downward elevator" technique. I could feel warm waves washing over me, and they seemed to make me really sleepy when they did, but it felt really good. A few moments later I noticed something strange happening. It felt like my shoulders were warbling/ moving back and forth really rapidly, but not my physical shoulders. I haven't personally ever felt vibrations during my exercises, but could have this been what I was feeling? Also, I sensed that there were 2 people sitting next to me, both men, wearing black with black hair and one had a goatee and glasses. I'm not sure but I may have been half asleep and dreaming. Thanks for any input you have.
