I think you are asking, "what happens to one's state of consciousness during a meditation hypnotic trance?"
The phrase "meditation hypnotic trance" needs exploring. Meditation is *not* the same thing as hypnosis, and it does not induce a trance state. Meditation is simply the process of watching your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.

Is meditation an altered state of consciousness?
Not really-although some practitioners talk that way. The best way to think of it is to understand that meditation stills the mind. Usually, our minds are scattered, jumping all about like a troop of monkeys in the forest canopy. When you practice meditation well, your mind becomes unified, focused. Therefore, it could be claimed that it's a different state of consciousness, but that is really misleading. It's similar to the state when an athlete or a musician, for example, is "in the zone." There is no self-consciousness or awareness of the passing of time.
How do I induce altered states of consciousness through meditation?
This is not the purpose of meditation and should be discouraged. The purpose of meditation is to calm the mind in order to see things as they really are, which is impermanance, suffering and non-self. A result of meditation will be heightened awareness of the present moment
