The Esdaile State - Horizontal
Full Body Catatonia
This subject is outstretched with her head resting on the edge of one chair and
her heals of her
feet resting on another chair.
Her body muscles are relaxed and supple. This is NOT catalepsy which is
achieved by verbal suggestions in a light or medium state.
The gentleman in white is feeling her leg and abdominal muscles which are soft,
while her body is rigid. The other gentleman is awaiting his turn to do the
same.
This is a far deeper state than what stage hypnotists use in their demonstrations
or what any hypnotists uses today that claim that they can get the Esdaile State
easily with everyone.
She also has complete general anesthesia and even though she can hear, she
cannot verbally or physically respond and her pupils are fixed and dilated, this
is true Esdaile.
