Trance 1/03/12

[High Priestess Maxine Dietrich]

I know many of the instructions for meditation, spells and such on the JoS website state that one must go into a trance. Trance usually comes with just focusing the mind. It is not necessary to worry over going into a deep trance. Very few of us have ideal conditions. I have done many successful workings, in spite of having to deal with distractions, background noise and other annoying crap in my environment. The real key is persistence. The distractions do interfere, but persistence and perseverence will overcome them in the way that you are putting energy into something and the more energy you can put into your working, the more you keep bringing your mind back to focus, and the more you apply the energies, this eventually will overcome the distractions and the bit of energy they interfere with.

I personally have gotten stronger in spite of endless distractions in that I can focus my mind in spite of the distractions. With persistence, you will be able to ignore them. Doing a working after some breathing exercises, reciting a mantra, and/or physical yoga is an excellent time. People need to stop worrying about the trance part. It usually will come with the working and above all...persistence.
