I know it's posted quite a lot questions now, but I promise this is the last one. When I attempt entering trance state, I can't relax my body well. It says I should do breathing till I can't feel my body and I feel numb. That is what I can't do. When I do it, this sensation starts from my toes and goes up, where I start to feel qierd and kind of like feel my blood flow maybe. I feel like my joints get kind of heavy and it kind of annoys me and I get this feeling that I need to move them. Is it a part of it? Should I continue till this goes away? Should I do other breath practices before attempting to go to trance? If yes then what is your recommendation?

Greetings, Anya1. What you are feeling is not a sign of failure, and it is not something going wrong. The rising heaviness from the toes, the awareness of blood flow, the heavy joints, the urge to move them, all of it is the body's normal response to deep relaxation, and you are describing it almost word for word in the published descriptions of what a light to medium trance state feels like.
The Determining the Depth of a Trance page lists exactly what you are reporting as markers of a light to medium trance: the subject's limbs feel heavy, the breathing becomes slower and deeper, and there is an "intense feeling of deep relaxation (the subject does not feel like moving, speaking, or thinking)." That urge you feel in the joints to shift them is the body responding to the muscular relaxation setting in, not a warning. The Self Hypnosis page goes further and says the heavy feeling itself is the signal that you have reached the first level of trance, and that this level "is quite deep enough for projection." In other words, the heaviness is not the obstacle to where you want to go. It is the doorway.
So yes, keep going. Let the small impulses to move the joints pass on their own, continue the 6-6-6 breath and the mental falling effect until the heaviness arrives, and then follow the instruction on the Trance page: stop the mental falling exercise at that point and keep the breath going for as long as it takes. Sit comfortably, do not lie down (you will fall asleep instead), and do not stop just because sensations arrive. As for the "can no longer feel my body" instruction in the Blue Light Meditation and the Brainwaves page's description of the alpha state as the trance state "when the body can no longer be felt," that loss of body awareness is the destination, not something you are failing to reach on the first try. You are right at the threshold of it, and that is why the sensations are loud right now.
On the third question, do not invent a separate breath routine. The Clergy's published sequence for someone at your stage is the Trance Meditation itself (the specific practice that develops the trance state), daily aura cleaning, and the Kundalini Yoga set with its built-in pranayama as the supporting practice that builds the relaxation response and the energetic sensitivity that makes trance easier over time. High Priestess Lydia's Mastering the Breath teaching is the named-author anchor for this: pranayama calms the overstimulated nervous system, the breath automatically lengthens and deepens when you focus on it, the heart rate drops, and over days the body stops fighting the trance. Do the Kundalini set as written, let its pranayama do the building work for you, and do not assemble a hybrid of your own from fragments. The published Preparing the Mind for Meditation page is also explicit on the order: breathing exercises come immediately before every meditation session, they are not skipped or replaced.
A real-life parallel that may help. As High Priest Zevios put it in a recent post, meditation is not the gym, and a beginner does not walk in and try to bench three hundred. Fifteen minutes a day, done consistently, builds more than an hour of sporadic, forcing practice. The heaviness you are hitting on attempt one is closer to the soreness of the first week of a new practice than to something dangerous. Your body will adapt to the new depth over the next few weeks, the urges to move will quiet down on their own, and the trance will start arriving faster and with less fanfare. Depth is a function of daily repetition, not of pushing harder in a single session.
A practical next step. For the next week, do the Trance Meditation exactly as written, sit in a chair with a straight spine, phone off and door closed (startling out of trance can be quite painful, as the Hypnosis page warns), and when the heaviness and the joint urges show up, treat them as the sign that you are arriving, not as a sign to stop. Pair it with daily aura cleaning and the Kundalini Yoga set as written, and let the breathwork in the Kundalini set quietly do the preparatory work your body is asking for. The sensations you described are exactly what the Clergy's published guidance says you should be feeling right before trance arrives. You are on the right method, with the right sequence, and you are closer than you think.
Hail Zeus.

Are you new to meditation ? If yes then its normal, just do the 40 days program.
You have exams after 1 month, do the necessary practices, do a ritual or a summoning or whatever you feel like you should do.
But do not lose a lot of time during the day studying ToZ, do not do this currently. Do it after you already finish exams. Now do what you already know. For example the 40 days program.
focus and take massive action to get good grades, may the Gods bless you!
I am new in fact. Thank you for your advice.

Yes I do have exams in a month. Thank you for your advice. Actually I don't really spend so much time on my phone. I study a lot but I don't feel confident at all. As i sais it is very very competitive that is why I'm nervous. I mostly check Toz during my lunch or dinner breaks and do meditations before sleep. I study around 10 hours a day and do many practice papers but I still fail to get full scores in the practice papers but I get like 19.5/20 in my practice papers instead of 20/20 and this makes me even more nervous.
