| As I learn, I try to write down new ideas. This helps me to organize my thoughts and to build a clearer picture of what NLP and SS is all about. It is not the scope of this website to list everything about SS and NLP - just the information I am learning. |

A trance is an unconscious state of
mind [although your conscious mind is functioning, the unconscious part
is accessed].
Like driving or watching TV, the conscious mind 'zones out' and the unconscious mind is in control. When driving a car, I do not have to consciously put my foot on the brake to stop - after a while, it become automatic - impressed into the unconscious. Trance states can take many forms. When dealing with persuasion/NLP/SS the unconscious mind is being told to listen/feel/see/smell - whether the conscious mind is cognizant of the "trance-instructions" or not! Trance states can also be strong or subtle. In the case of STRONG - it can be a loud noise, a street fight, a loud obnoxious person. Think about when you are at a restaurant and there is a 'scene'. What do we immediately do? Look in that direction, try to discover what is happening, lose ourselves in the moment? How about a street fight? Or a lovers spat? We become engrossed in what is happening and everything else falls away. Trance states can also be SUBTLE. If someone has a very funny personality - everytime he/she says something, you hang on every word. You know something funny is going to be said - this is entrancing. The is similar to intelligent people - they say the most interesting things...and these interesting things are entrancing! I believe this is why being funny is so important in PU. |
