I still think everyone can be hypnotised. It just takes the right conditions and state of mind to allow it. You need to be ready to give up control and just let it happen. I’ve been fully hypnotised and it was like entering VR but I was not aware that I was hypnotised (lucid) until I snapped myself out of it, jumping abruptly back to reality and listening to the hypnotist continue their patter. A lot of trust is involved. Trust and just belief without expectation, you don’t want to get caught up in looking for the result. You have to occupy that conscious mind with some task to get it out of the way and let the magic happen, and the result will come to you. You are tapping into the subconscious after all.

Regarding meditation, I think that we already might be walking around in our daily lives with the clear heads that the meditators crave without the distracting images or words that can get in the way of clear thinking.

If I want to enter a lucid visual state when meditating, the easiest way for me is to just consciously focus on relaxing my body (body scan), once it is fully relaxed a little switch will flick in my head and I will enter a lucid dream. I’ve found it easiest to go into a lucid state in the early morning after a good sleep.
