When most people hear the word trance, they imagine hypnosis shows or something mysterious and rare. But the truth is, you already slip in and out of trance states every day. We all do.
Think about it:
Everybody does it. Trance is not only for some. It is not weird or something to deny doing, it is completely normal and natural. We narrow out focus and pay attention to something specifin while evrything else fades into the background.
Massage creates one of the most powerful trance states. As your body relaxes, your nervous system shifts out of “fight or flight” and into deep parasympathetic calm. Your thoughts slow. Your awareness softens.
This is why so many people describe massage as “drifting,” “floating,” or “losing track of time.”
But here’s the key: massage trance can be used for more than melting away muscle tension. It can also become a doorway to mental clarity, emotional cleansing, and even rewriting the patterns that hold you back.
You don’t need to “try” to go into trance during massage. It happens naturally. But you can choose how to use it:
Before your massage begins, pause for a moment. Ask yourself: What do I want tovisualize today in my massage session? Or: What goal do I want to fine tune?
It could be as simple as:
As your body relaxes under my hands, notice when your thoughts start to drift. Don’t resist it—welcome it. This is your natural trance. Focus on your breathing to quiet your mind.
When you catch yourself floating, gently bring your intention back in. Repeat it silently in your mind, or imagine it as an image, a color, or a sensation spreading through your body.
After the massage, take one deep breath and remind yourself of your intention again. This “anchors” the trance state into your everyday life.
For some people, simply drifting is enough. But if you’d like to take the experience deeper, I also offer HypnoMassage.
This unique service combines the full body relaxation of massage with gentle hypnotic guidance. While you’re already in your natural massage trance, I help you:
It’s a way to not just relax your muscles, but also reprogram your mind toward the life you want to live.
You’re going into trance anyway—whether it’s watching TV, driving on autopilot, or zoning out at the golf course. Why not choose to use the powerful trance of massage to truly benefit yourself?
A natural state of focused relaxation where the mind drifts, allowing deeper healing and clarity.
By setting an intention, welcoming the trance, and reinforcing it during your session.
A massage combined with guided hypnosis to release stress, build confidence, and reprogram limiting beliefs.
You don’t need to do anything special—just book a session and allow yourself to drift. If you’d like me to guide you, choose HypnoMassage and discover how your massage can become more than relaxation—it can become transformation.
