      Ska, have you tried reverse blinking to get you into that trance state? It is a great technique for people who have a racing mind, because it does not rely on thinking, imagining, or visualizing. It does not crowd your already busy brain with more thoughts.

      Close your eyes, and breathe normally. Count each breath on the exhale. Now, every time you count, blink your eyes open and closed quickly. Just like you would blink normally, but backwards. If you do it right, you barely even get a chance to focus your vision. Just a flash of an image to interrupt any stray thoughts and fuel the visual centers of your mind.

      Another thing I do is try to induce tactile hallucinations. It is a lot easier than it sounds. Just lie however is comfortable for you, then imagine your feet pushing into the bed. Push them down without moving them, if you know what I mean. Then, do the same thing with your head and neck. Push it into the bed. Don't actually flex any muscles, just push your energy and feel it happening. Alternate between pushing your feet into the bed, and pushing your head into the bed. When I do this for several minutes, I normally end up feeling some crazy separations and body distortions. Like I am spinning, rocking, and bending in impossible ways.

      The actual mindset I aim for in a WILD, is one of separated consciousness. My mind feels more expansive than my body, and sort of floating. It is a definite physical feeling, like a drug induced high. It is not just a different way of thinking, it is a total change in mind/body awareness. If you've ever started from totally sober, then taken a huge rip off a bong, then just closed your eyes and waited, you know what I mean. You really feel it hit you.

      I think that is a point often glossed over in WILD tutorials, or ignored by the reader. When they say "deep relaxation" they don't mean just lying down and relaxing physically. You have to really get into intense trance state relaxation.
