Are people able to self-induce a state of hypnosis?
• Yes. Spontaneous self-induced hypnotic states are quite common and you have probably experienced those many times yourself without knowing it. Whenever you become absorbed in anything, as in daydreaming, reading a book, or watching a television program, you may slip into hypnosis to varying degrees. During such times you are usually very relaxed, and oblivious of outside distractions. Self-induced states of hypnosis are very common among artists and creative people.
