Guided trance meditation and altered states

7 sessions20 to 32 minintermediate

Consciousness & Trance explores the borders of ordinary awareness. In Body Asleep, Mind Awake, you watch the threshold of sleep while staying aware. You can descend a 33-level spiral, wander an infinite library while staying connected to your body, or explore an attic of forgotten objects. Other sessions offer a directed waking dream, a rest in the space between two thoughts, and a meeting with your future self.

Sessions last 20 to 32 minutes and are marked as intermediate. They suit you if you are curious about deep relaxation and imaginative states. Each session guides you gently back at the end. Listen somewhere comfortable, never while driving, and give yourself a moment to return before getting up.

Frequently asked questions

What is a trance meditation?

It is a state of deep relaxation in which attention narrows and imagination becomes more vivid. You remain aware throughout the session, you can open your eyes at any moment, and the voice always brings you gently back at the end.

Is it safe?

These sessions are guided and always bring you back gently. You stay in control the whole time. As with any deep relaxation, do not listen while driving or doing anything that requires your attention.

Which session should I start with?

The 33-level Spiral is a good introduction, since the count guides you step by step. Body Asleep, Mind Awake is ideal if you are interested in the threshold of sleep.
