"'Trance' is achieved when the shaman is conscious of, talking to and operating in all the relevant worlds of his reality at the same time. The shaman can get there by more techniques than can be readily named. Generally, these can be grouped into six main categories: music, song, dance, pain, traditional hallucinogenics and stillness."
