What is a mediumistic trance? How and why does it happen? – Blog

To understand what a mediumistic trance is, we will first do a semantic analysis of the word. “Trance”, according to some definitions found in the main dictionaries, is defined as a kind of crisis or distressing moment. Etymologically speaking, the word “trance” derives from the Latin “transitus”, which means passage.

Trances are altered states of consciousness, unlike waking states, when we are awake and fully aware of our surroundings. Therefore, mediumistic trance is nothing more than the altered state of consciousness in which the medium is when the spirit manifests itself.

Some characteristics about the mediumistic trance

In trance mediumship, the individual experiences a differentiated state of consciousness, in which the conscious mind remains partially alert and focused, while the unconscious mind experiences different ways of manifesting.

It is this state of semi-consciousness (or mediumistic trance) that allows the medium to expand his perispirit (the link between our body and our soul) and it is through this expansion that the attunement with the spirit that intends to communicate occurs.

It is important to emphasize that no message transmitted through a mediumistic trance is totally unconscious, since for any of the mediumship events (psychography, clairvoyance, hearing and mediumistic speech) there is an intense participation of the medium’s cerebral cortex, which is precisely the area through which writing, sight, hearing and speech occur.

Mechanisms, occurrences and types of mediumistic trance

The mediumistic trance is a partnership between the medium and the communicant spirit, in which abundant cognitive activities and mutual assimilation of ideas occur. As we said earlier, no occurrence of mediumistic trance is totally unconscious, since there is intense brain activity on the part of the medium.

And this statement opens space for a very pertinent question: “why are cases of mediumistic trance common in which the medium does not remember anything, given that the events take place in a state of semi-consciousness?”.

The answer is simple: these amnesias are normal, since soon after the mediumistic trance there is a rupture of the fluidic connection between the medium and the spiritual entity (fluidic connection is the name given to the connection that occurs in any mediumistic activity).

There are three different types (degrees) of trance mediumship:

• Unconscious: the medium is not aware of what is happening before, during and after, being the rarest type of mediumistic trance.
• Semi-unconscious: the consciousness of the mediumistic trance is intermittent, that is, the medium alternately records the message being transmitted, at this level only a part of the communication is remembered.
• Conscious: the medium is fully aware of the events before, during and after the trance; this type of mediumistic trance occurs with approximately 70% of mediums.
