There are several outward signs of trance that can be observed in all subjects. These signs can not be simulated by the subject. The subject will exhibit at least one, and in many cases, multiple signs.
1) Body Warmth
Many subjects note a distinct change in body temperature. Many subjects feel cold, and others feel warm. This is attributed to the lower pulse rate and extreme relaxation of the subject.
2) Fluttering Eyelids
Virtually all subjects in trance exhibit a ‘fluttering of eyelids’. The subject is actually in a Rapid Eye Movement (R. E. M.) state.
3) Reddening of the Eyes
All subjects will demonstrate a reddening of the eyes once they’ve entered trance. This phenomenon is attributed to the relaxation of the muscles in the eyes of the subject, allowing a greater flow of blood through the veins.
4) Increased Lacrimation
Many subjects, upon entering trance, will exhibit an increased ‘tearing of the eyes.’ This is attributed to the relaxation of the muscles surrounding the tear ducts.
5) Eyes Rolling Back
Many subjects, upon entering trance, will experience their eyes rolling back in their head. It will appear as if the subject is looking up through the top of his head.
6) Reduction of the swallow reflex
People swallow one or two times per minute. However, under hypnosis, this natural swallowing rhythm can cease entirely. Even if the swallow reflex doesn’t completely halt, there is often a noticeable decrease in its frequency.
Conversely, an uptick in swallowing may indicate nervousness in the subject.
I’d add to the signs of trance that most people also stop swallowing once they go into trance.
Yes. That is true, or at least a reduction. so I’ve added it to the list. Thank you for your suggestion
