I'm a bit worried about hijacking the thread with my question. But I just have to ask.... I've done a LOT of meditating in my life, since I was 16. For whatever reason I started meditating before I knew about it, nor had any training on it. However, I've tried many self-hypnosis videos on You Tube, but I don't think I've ever gotten to that hypnotic trance state. I get very relaxed, I may even see some imagery, but it's always unrelated... more like day dreaming. I get to a dream like state. What am I missing here in my understanding. Am I doing self-hypnosis wrong? I meditate pretty easily, but it does seem like a bit of a different beast, as far as I can tell. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
