I think I found a shortcut to achieve a light trance. I've tried it a few times, and has worked everytime thusfar. What I do is I trigger REM by forcefully looking upwards and holding it a little while. Eventually my eyes will go into REM, I guess since REM cant happen while ur awake, u immediately go into a trance. The trance does feel different tho, it lacks any energy sensations. Probably because I did no previous energy work as I normally do before entering trance. Anyone else ever done this or wanna give it a shot? i'd like some more verification.
