Medium Jose Medrado going into and out of trance to allow the painters to work through him.
Medrado describes going into his trance state as follows: "I put myself totally at their disposal. I do a short quick prayer then there is a shock that goes through my spine and from there I go into trance.
I am not unconscious yet but I have no awareness of what is around me. I don't see things precisely. I always make the comparison of when someone is put under general anesthesia for surgery. And all you can hear is things far away. So it's more like that. But I always intend to be with a clear mind. Generally it is like moments of a meditation when you're lying down in a rest time. I am there ready.
There is sound of a lot of people. It is a huge mix of vibrations. And this creates a perceptual confusion.
