Trance is a state of altered consciousness characterized by deep relaxation, heightened focus, and increased suggestibility. It is often induced through meditation, hypnosis, or repetitive rhythmic activities such as dancing or drumming. In this state, individuals may experience a sense of detachment from their surroundings and a heightened awareness of their inner thoughts and feelings. Trance can be used for therapeutic purposes, spiritual practices, or as a form of entertainment in music and dance. It is not typically considered a mood, but rather a temporary altered state of consciousness.
