The three most common reactions to entering trance are muscle twitching, rapid heartbeat/elevated blood pressure and sexual arousal. Luckily, all three usually become tolerable if one shifts their focus to one's breathing by taking long, slow deep breaths while letting the words of their hypnotist drift into their mind.
Once the distraction has abated, shifting the focus back onto the words of The Voice should allow one to proceed swiftly into trance.
The good news here is that what you are experiencing is normal for a person entering trance, which almost certainly means you were achieving effect from your efforts.
Also remember to avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine prior to sessions and consider trancing after exercise or a relaxing bath, or any other activity that serves to calm and relax you.
I usually suggest that subjects trance early in the day, upon first arising or late afternoon after a light meal or evening after supper has settled. Set the mood for it - lock the door, turn down the lights, turn off the TV, the phone and any other sources of distraction, put out the cat and create an atmosphere conducive to trance. Light a candle, put on light music, dress I'm loose clothing (or nothing if you are comfortable on your own skin), light an incense and do whatever else makes you comfortable. This is your time, so make it quality time like you would for a close friend or a lover. You are just that important and you deserve DO deserve it.
With practice, you will eventually develop the skill and the confidence to allow you to trance nearly anywhere you like but if you are a trance virgin then treat yourself like one. Romance your subconscious and show it how much you treasure it and respect it. Let yourself know that what you are doing is going to be do pleasantly enjoyable and worthwhile that you'll be eagerly looking forward to doing it again. Let the PHSes and other file effects be the icing on the cake by making it a special experience, a treat and a reward for all the things you do for others. But most importantly, make sure the experience doesn't seem like a chore - you've probably got enough of those in your life already, right?
If you only Believe in Hypnosis, It can Change Your Life.
