Trance



Modern Western medicine reflects very well our civilisations conception of man - an individual composed of a body with a separated spirit - which is also our conception of the world as such - the material and spiritual, two separate worlds. This is a vision that has no equivalent in other cultures as various shamanistic ones, or in China, where the universe is unified by the Qi or the Prana, in India. Man is, in these civilisations, regarded as a global entity comprising the body, the mind, animated by the spirit.

However, this, our culture's, characteristic dissociation, is the source of many problems. It can, if you are too entrenched in the material aspects of things, make communication with the spiritual world, more difficult.

Trance then represents a way to reunite your body, your mind and soul, to restore you in the universe.
