Can anyone enter the hypnotic state?
Yes, anyone can be hypnotised provided they want to be. No one can be hypnotised against their will. That said, some people should not be hypnotised – people suffering from psychiatric disorders (psychosis) and people under the influence of recreational drugs. It is estimated that about eighty five percent of people find it easy to enter the hypnotic state quite easily. The other fifteen percent need a slightly different approach. Those who have difficulty being hypnotised usually find this is because of fear or nervousness.
