A structured hypnotic protocol successfully guided a 45-year-old female scientist, familiar with psi phenomena but new to trance channeling, to shift consciousness and allow communication from non-physical beings. Over six sessions in an electromagnetically shielded environment, the participant progressed from deep relaxation to out-of-body experience induction and trance channeling. The participant channeled different non-physical beings, indicating that trance channeling skills may involve both inherent capacity and learned ability. Hypnosis proved effective for guiding out-of-body experiences, which helped loosen ego control and enhance awareness. The findings suggest potential for structured training in trance channeling and highlight the need for further research linking out-of-body experiences to psi abilities, demographic factors, and brain-imaging studies.
