The author of Trances People Live explores the myriad dimensions of consciousness, guiding us through many experiential exercises to see beyond the inner structures that limit our awareness so that we may experience the many dimensions of who we are more fully.

This book describes a new model for trance as well as practical techniques to analyse and design trances. Trance is used consciously and unconsciously not only by psychologists, therapists and hypnotists, but also yogis, priests, magicians, witches, advertisers, politicians, lawyers, addicts and psychotics. Writing from his personal experience, Wier suggests that some of these ideas might represent new practical precision tools for psychologists as well as for those who work with the occult. Practical suggestions for meditators, yogis, witches and others are included to deepen trance and to increase the depth as well as terminating trance. Pathological trance and trance abuse are also described with suggestion on how they may be recognized and prevented.

Arguing that humans use 'trances' to block out distractions in order to more fully experience work, play, and lovemaking, the author explores the positive and negative roles of such states in our lives. 15,000 first printing. (view table of contents)
