Trance Problems?

[ara134]

:?: Hello everyone, I'm having problems going into trance. I know that there are many posts with the same subject, but I'd like to have my question posted.
I'm not sure whether I enter trance or not. I mean, I can feel my body very relaxed and my limbs seem heavy as they should, and I don't even try to move them (because I know I can do it, but I try to pretend that I can't). My mind, on the other hand, just doesn't go away. I don't know if it's because EMG keeps saying to focus on his words or something else, but my mind stays alert at all times.
I've tried some EMG and Cardigan files, and every time everything is fine, and I feel great but as soon as the file ends it's over, no matter how hard I want the effects of the file to come up.
I have been trying some files for more than six months (though not daily or even weekly, because I don't see any results and I stop doing it). Should I try harder? Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks.

I think you are misunderstanding trance a bit. You don't totally lose consciousness when you go into trance; that's sleep :) You may not be very deep is all. Have you tried any of the induction files, like Blink's Good Boy/Girl?

First i will answer Aral's post.If you are fully focused on the file,then that sounds like you are in a light trance.The more you have experience with trance the easier you will find it.So the more you trance the deeper you will go.After a few more listens ( on a more regular basis would be advisable) you might find your mind wondering some more.BUT, if it doesn't that does not mean you are failing.It just means it might take a little longer for the suggestions to sink in.

TO answer Lettuce.Your "Ah this isn't working -and your mind just goes wondering". That is your consious mind wondering.So your unconcious is listening whilst your concious mind is looking elsewhere.Which is a good sign.I hope that is clear.
