What does Sanyama mean?
Sanyama is a Sanskrit word that cannot be quickly explained here, but in short it is the process of absorptive meditation and one of the stages in Yoga, as the path to salvation.

You can find a brief explanation here
Sanyama is described in the ancient Indian texts on Yoga (more specifically Book #3 of the Patanjali Sutras). Click here for a more detailed explanation.
(A search on the web will give you a lot to read and think about :)

There is a lot of common ground between spirituality and psy-trance... self-exploration, expanding one's awareness and consciousness, empathy and collective consciousness are some common aspects.
Food for thought: One's state of consciousness can be altered by meditation or trance; meditation is when the self controls the mind (conscious), whereas trance is induced by external factors.
