Gugganig questions whether our emotions are dictated by the outside world, or if they are something we can teach ourselves to control from within. He says our bodies are able to supply ourselves with “happy hormones”, but whether they do depends on our lifestyle. When something good is happening, the amount of self-produced, feel-good hormones rises, so why not take advantage of this to change your outlook on life. We draw in breaths when in trouble and let out our breath when trouble has passed, so it follows that we should be able to control our emotions with controlled breathing.
Gugganig says that humans spend their days in a beta state of mind because it keeps us alert. The book teaches how to control your breathing to change your state of mind to an alpha state by changing your respiratory rhythm which in turn influences brain frequency and can give us access to the alpha state of mind which is like dozing. Deep, slow breathing can take a person into the alpha state, but you have to train yourself to enter this state. After practice, it can be as automatic as finding the brake when you are driving.
This book teaches how to enter a trance using your own personal positive sensory information from all five senses. This is your “magic formula” or trigger to get you into your personalized trance. The book gives many examples of different trances and when trances might be useful.
I thought this was an interesting, helpful book for anyone. It is very well written and easy to follow. Gugganig’s contention that we can control our outlook on life by controlling our breathing follows a logical explanation of how and why this should work. I’ve followed the instructions to set up my own personal trances and found the information to be very helpful and complete.
I would recommend this book to anyone, especially any person who is having a bad day or is tired of doing mundane, tedious things that need to be done but can be much more pleasant to do using Gugganig’s instructions.
I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It is very well-written and the information and instructions are presented in a very logical, easy to follow form. It seems like it would be a very useful tool for anyone to have to help them in today’s world.
