As far as I know, the Esdaile state is the same as the hypnotic coma. And once a person enters the Esdaile State, he/she experiences a euforic happiness and just wants to remain in that state for as long as possible. He/she will tend to ignore any suggestions of coming out of the state - in fact any suggestions at all. He/she will also display total anaestecia and can have his/her limbs placed in any position - and will retain that position. Almost like a human dummy. Be sure to set a time limit before sending them to the Esdaile state. Tell them, that no matter what, they will emerge in 10 minutes or something.
