You probably tried the wrong kind of induction, I find some inductions just don't work for me, whether there are a few (like the 7 +/- 2) which work extremely well for me.

Thats the 7 +/- 2. Just get really comfortable and listen to it with decent headphones, I find following the instructions works best. Its nothing but an induction, no programming, but if it freaks you a little listen to to fully conscious first.
Other than that try to remove as much distraction as possible. Getting comfortable to avoid physical discomfort, going to the toilet beforehand if needed, avoiding bright light and/or loud noises (do it somewhere dark and quiet if possible)
Its literally just putting you in a trance, also commonly known as "zoning out" or a meditative state (they are the same thing)
