When people enter into trance their brain waves slow from the waking Beta state and continue to change vibration down past the meditative Alpha state into various levels within the Theta range. When we sleep our brain wave patterns enter into the final Delta state where messages from the brain are dropped into the subconscious and vented through our dreams. In short, hypnosis is quite a different state of consciousness than meditation or sleep and is associated with different brain wave patterns. Trance involves maintaining a state of consciousness that is measured in the Theta range. In Theta, the conscious mind is not unconscious, so we are able to receive as well as send messages with all memory channels open.

Entering and maintaining a deep state of trance is a skill that can be developed. The more exposure you have with trance, the more accustomed you become to this altered state of consciousness. For that reason, it is highly recommended that before scheduling an appointment with an LBL practitioner you have at least one experience in hypnosis, preferably Past Life Regression (PLR). LBL regression involves a deeper state of trance than normally required for PLR and that you maintain yourself in trance for at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours. On the face of it, two hours may seem like a long time, but most feel like the time goes by in a flash. In fact, time distortion is a commonly reported feature of trance.
