On a side note, the first time I started the rotation thing I was trying clockwise. This was hard to picture for me and didn't seem to help any. Pretty much the instant I did counterclockwise it had an affect.

It's not very relevant to the thread, but I find it extremely easy to get into a good trance using this method. Of course, the direction will probably vary from person to person, and the technique might not work at all for some people.
