So, can anyone guide others into focused trance?
For the most part, yes. It’s a completely natural and normal state that is easy to learn and to guide others into. However, do note that while focused trance is a natural state that is completely safe, some trancework modalities, such as hypnosis, are regulated in some places in terms of who can offer such services either for therapeutic, non-therapeutic, entertaining, or recreational applications. Some of these regularions are there to protect the public based upon some erroneous beliefs on what the state is and some are reasonable limits in terms of certain types of behaviors which are inappropriate. However, for the most part, most focused trance modalities are unregulated and are completely safe. Even the generally regulated forms such as hypnosis are well known to be beneficial and useful with a regulations often in place to protect market share for other therapy professions rather than due to any inherent danger to hypnosis – more due to market share issue than actual issues rela
