The Power and Beauty of Trance Healing: Understanding its Process and Mechanisms

Introduction 

Over the years I’ve studied many forms of energy based and alternative healing modalities. All of them have offered wonderful learnings, foundational truths and specific pieces (and in some cases lots and lots of pieces) to the puzzle of how to heal the human heart, mind and body. More recently I have been delving into Trance Healing, a fascinating technique that harnesses the power of altered states of consciousness to facilitate healing on all levels. In this blog post, we will explore what happens during trance healing sessions and touch on the mechanisms behind its efficacy. 

So What is Trance Healing? 

Trance healing is a method of spiritual healing that involves the healer entering an altered state of consciousness, often referred to as the trance state. In this state, the healer becomes a conduit for healing energy, which is directed towards, and made available to the recipient, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. 

The Trance Healing Process

1. Preparation and Induction
   
   Before a trance healing session, both the healer and the recipient prepare themselves mentally and energetically. The healer sets a clear intention for the work to be done, ensuring that it is for the highest good of the recipient and in alignment with their soul journey. The healer calls in their Spirit Helpers and Guides and typically engages in a mental ritual that can include voicing the intention for healing. This quietens the mind, raises the vibrational frequency and opens the energy field.  By default the recipient benefits from this, becomes relaxed and enters into a receptive state. 

2. Altered States of Consciousness
   
   Once both parties are prepared, the healer invites the recipient to enter a still deeper state and enters into the trance state themselves. Trance can be induced through various methods, it can be spirit led, accessed through music with a specific rhythm and frequency (some forms of drumming are excellent for this) and breath work or the counting of numbers can be used.  In the altered state, the healer's consciousness expands, allowing them to access higher levels of awareness and to tap into the healing energies more fully.

3. Channelling Healing Energy
   
   As the healer enters the trance state, they become a true channel for healing energy. This energy could be described as unconditional love, spirit, chi, prana, or even universal life force energy. The energy flows from or through the healer, encompassing the recipient's body, promoting balance and initiating the healing process. Some healers will place their hands under the recipients head if they are lying back on a massage table, or on the shoulders, hand or knee of the recipient if they are seated. As I often do, some Healers simply sit by the recipient as the energy flows from their hands, energy field or heart space, into that of the recipient. Although it is nice to do this spiritual healing in person, physical proximity is not a requirement and many healers only work remotely, finding it to be more effective when clients are relaxing at home in their own space at an agreed upon time.

4. Healing Intent and Focus
   
   During the trance healing session, the healer focuses their intention on facilitating healing for the recipient. In many methods of spiritual healing, the healer directs the energy, but in Trance Healing, we work beyond the level of mind. Spirit has its own intelligence, and directs the energy to where it is needed. It is the healer's connection to spirit that matters, it is this that allows the healing energy to flow out to meet the true needs of the recipient.

5. Healing Effects
   
   Trance healing can have a profound impact on multiple levels. It can alleviate physical symptoms, promote relaxation and stress reduction, release emotional blockages, and support spiritual growth. The healing energy works to restore balance, remove energetic imbalances, and stimulate the body's innate healing abilities. The recipient may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or emotional release during the session. They may simply go into a light sleep-like state and come out refreshed at the end of the session. 

 The Mechanisms of Trance Healing 

While the exact mechanisms of trance healing are not yet fully comprehended, here are a few theories that many find comfortable to explain its efficacy:

1. Energy Balancing: Trance healing can rebalance the recipient's energy field, clear blockages and restore the flow of vital energy. This allows the body's own healing mechanisms to function optimally.

2. Frequency Resonance: It is suggested that the healing energy transmitted during trance healing resonates with the recipient's energy field, promoting harmony and coherence at the cellular and energetic levels.

3. Psychoneuroimmunology: Trance healing may influence the recipient's psychological and emotional states, which, in turn, can impact the immune system and the body's ability to heal.
