Q.   How does an altered state of consciousness differ from a hypnotic state?

A.  The hypnotic states form a large part of the spectrum of altered sates of consciousness, the latter being more inclusive term.  As an example, meditation is another form of an altered state of consciousness.

Q.  Are people able to self-induce a state of hypnosis?

A.  Yes.  Spontaneous self-induced hypnotic states are quite common and you have probably experienced them many times yourself without knowing it.  Whenever you become absorbed in anything, as in daydreaming, reading a book, or watching a television show, 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 in general.
