Hypnosis Awakening Paranormal Brain Functions Due To Meditation...

Alright. We all know about the monks and the long times they meditate. WEalso know some use chants to get themselves into a deep state of trance....Using chants to slow or speed up brain wave speeds.

Now...Hypnosis is a deep state of mind. A deep state of meditation.

Now since monks also get themselves into deep states of trances just like in hypnosis, and they try and enlighten themselves, etc. Couldn't you do it through hypnosis also? Try to enlighten yourself through hypnosis. Use hypnosis to help do OOBE's? etc?

this has been studied since the 60's I have not heard of any "solid" evidence either way proving or disproving using hypnosis to start / enhance esper abilities (yes i know that term is no longer used )

that's an interesting thought, i think it would be quite possible to open up awareness via hypnosis

but chanting mantras and meditation has definite benefits and have worked for me.
