The Journey of Life: With every step, new possibilities unfold, and each moment can be a new beginning. However, if we only move along familiar paths, we will hardly notice these opportunities. Stephen Gilligan calls his method generative trance, which enables more creative states of consciousness. Unlike traditional hypnosis, where one relinquishes control, this approach weaves consciousness and the unconscious into a higher transformative awareness. "I am continually amazed at how trance can help people realize their dreams, heal wounds, transform problems, and follow their calling in life. This is not an artificial trance, nor is it a trance in which someone would manipulate another. It is a natural state in which one can step back from their established roles and initiate a creative process.".
