hypno freak, i normally feel like i am floating or starting to float right before i blank out, and when i can blank out during trance and only start coming back about half way through the awakener, i usually feel alot more relaxed. the blanking out normally means i went so deep my waking mind could not longer hear anything in the file and only my sleeping mind was able to hear the suggestions.
so, congrats on getting finally acheiving trance, and yeah, i do concentrate on my breathing as it helps me enter trance deeper and faster than if i just concentrate on what is comin through the earbuds. :twisted:
