Walsh 7, Pearce and Hughes Yo!

I have to say tat after reading all three of these articles, they are basically saying mind over body and soul. I happen to think that if you are listening to music and you are focused enough on it and feel it, you can take a trip to another consciousness. I do that all the time. I find myself listening to music, fading out, and coming back at the end of the song. For those 2 or 3 minutes, i was somewhere else. So i have to agree with this because it indeed has happened to me. I feel that if you know how to focus your brain on one thing, this can help u reach your altered state regardless of what it is. For instance, when i get hurt, i quickly tell myself that im fine and that im not hurt. Im telling myself this so it will not hurt when it really does. This sometimes works for me. It supresses the pain. Basically if you tell yourself something enough times, no matter how foolish it it, it will work!
