Bev, that's been my experience with trance work, as well. Trance states are only part of the picture in what happens in Pente style worship. There's a brain chemical "high" thing, group dynamics....lots of stuff.
As I learned more about hypnosis and trance work (a term I prefer over "hypnosis," but they are defined a little bit differently in the literature), I realized that I used my musical abilities to facilitate trance states. That's not a good or a bad thing, it's just what it is. Later in my journey toward leaving that path, I tried to use my piano work to give people what felt to me like a "good" worship experience, a tone that was calm, encouraging, meditative, supportive.
The powermongers in our music setup didn't like that, although they had no words to describe what they didn't like. They were all people looking for the "high" of the brain chemical thing. That was just one undercurrent of an out of control and abusive situation.
