From what I've heard it depends on the person. If you're the kind who is adamant it won't work and it's just silly or stupid then it will be very, very hard if not impossible to hypnotize you. But if you're open to it, if you want it to work, then it's very easy. As to if it works in other levels that's up for debate, and again I think up to belief. But regardless of the truth if it's helping people and not producing long-term adverse effects then I think it's nice.
