The Betty Erickson Technique

Sitting comfortably with eyes open or closed, list to yourself three things you can see, then three things you can hear, then three things you can feel (for example, “I see the color of the wall, I see the person opposite me, I see the color of her hair, I hear the sounds outside the room, I hear people moving about, I hear my own breathing, I feel the cushion underneath me, I feel the air on my skin, I feel my hands on my lap …”). Then narrow it down to a list of two things in each sensory mode and one thing in each mode. Tell yourself, “As I count from ten down to one, I can go into a deep, comfortable trance.” Then count breaths backward from ten to one and enjoy the trance that you are drifting into. This works most powerfully when the verbal listing within your head is timed in rhythm with your breathing.

Practice this a few times (on different days) without cannabis. Notice what the trance experience is like. Notice whatever similarities and differences to the cannabis experience you can. Then (on another day) practice after you get high. Notice any differences in the experience. Are parts of it more or less intense, relaxing, or unusual?

While cannabis in the popular imagination is thought of as something that interferes with memory, in reality it can be very useful for recall of long-term or even long-lost memories. The similar properties of hypnotic trance are also often used for this purpose—and the combination of cannabis and hypnosis can be a very powerful way to reexperience aspects of past times and remembered places. Again, it is recommended that the following exercise be practiced at least a time or two without cannabis, to familiarize yourself with the technique and the experience, before combining.
