of autosuggestion my reade read read- fers e e are certainly anxious to be initiated ed in the method of putting it into actual ac ac- acal ual al practice We have seen that that our physical organism is completely dominated dom dom- by our subconscious self which be beying ing every suggestion of no mater mater matter mat mat- ter er er what nature transmits It as an orr or- or Ser err r to every fiber of the body and that he latter responds or re reacts immediately immedi immedi- The only obstacle to the perfect per per- feet accomplishment of the operation operations s 9 the intervention of the conscious will or reason at the same time What e a want to know therefore is the by which we may acquire control of our subconscious self In self In other lher words achieve self mastery i f The method is simplicity itself So Simple that it has been scoffed at as I 11 ill simple solutions of seemingly com- com I Heated pr problems have been scoffed kt t. t But its logic Is Irrefutable and its Effects are demonstrated every day of our Ur lives All that is necessary Is to place oneself in tn a condition of mental passiveness passiveness pas- pas silence the voice of conscious analysis and then dep deposit in the ever- ever wake waIte subconscious the idea or suggestion suggestion sug sug- which one desires to be real- real zed sed Every night when you have comfortably comfortably comfortably com- com settled yourself in bed and are on the point of dropping off to sleep murmur In a low but clear voice Just oud enough to be e heard by yourself his little formula Every day in Very every wa way I am getting better and Better etter Recite the tho phrase like a lit- lit ny my tw twenty nty times or more and in order or- or ier ler to avoid distracting your attention by the effort of co counting un tin g It Is an ex- ex ellent Idea to tick the number off on piece of string tied In twenty knots SETS FORCE IN MOTION Puerile Perhaps Yet Tet it IL suffices suf- suf flees to

power contained contained In Inthe Inthe inthe the repetition of a phrase or a formula The secret of the undeniable influence they exercised through the old oracles 1 resi resided led probably nay certainly in the f force of suggestion Te Yes Yes i my method of self-cure self by autosuggestion autosuggestion auto auto- suggestion is undoubtedly slI simple It Is easy to understand and Just as easy Ito to practice Yet the human mind Is today what it WW was waft in the days days' of ora- ora cles t it insists on associating the heal- heal lag ng of the body or mind with complicated rated theories and processes which In r reality are quite unnecessary Why complain if ie things are made easy for you OH I People eople may wonder why I am conent con- con ent to prescribe such a general and apparently vague formula as every overy pay day in m every way I am getting bet- bet beter betHer better Her ter er and better for all and every ail ail- ment The rea reason on Is strange as us It Itay ite may ay e seem that our subconscious mind dos loes not need the details The general general gen- gen pral eral suggestion sug that everything in every ery way Is going well is quite sufficient sufficient suf- suf to set up the procedure of persuasion per- per suasion which will carry its effects to the tho different organs and Improve every function I have had remarkable demonstration demonstration dem- dem of this In the course of or my long ng taching and experiments Time and n. n I have seen patients cured pot ot nt only of the particular disease for tor which they sought relief but also of minor disabilities which they had al almost almost almost al- al most forgotten LEAVE IT TO SUBCONSCIOUS The fact is our our subconscious knows much more than we can ever know ourselves about our physical organism Fortunately for us us' us Just think what a mess mess' we should make of things If we had to look after atter every function function- breathing digestion for instance Who is it that takes charge o of such a complicated complicated complicated com com- job The subconscious mind and if it ever does its work badly it is always because e in some way or another another another an an- other we have nave voluntarily meddled with It Every organ or function is 13 connected with and depends in some degree upon pon others and if the ordinary marl mari or woman were to begin ordering a subconscious tinkering with a particular particular particular par par- organ he or she would certainly certain certain- ly be obeyed only the chances are that something else would then go wrong as asa asa a a. result of insufficient knowledge or perhaps complete Ignorance of physiology physiology physiology on the part of f the conscious mind So Just leave it lt to the subconscious Avoid all effort When you recite your your phrase every day in every way I am getting better and better Detter you you must relax all strain and tension Do not seek to concentrate your thoughts Concentration is very valuable and necessary necessary when conscious reasoning isto isto is isto to be done but fatal to the success of autosuggestion Isolate yourself from everything likely to distract your attention however Close your eyes if possible You can obtain mental isolation isolation isola isola- tion Uon In a crowd Jn In n a streetcar if need nee be be and there is no reason why you should not practice autosuggestion in such conditions In the daytime always providing you OU succeed in putting yourself yourself yourself your your- self In the right state of passiveness At the risk of being accused of tedious repetition I must insist on the necessity necessity necessity sity of passiveness and inertia Do not think you must struggle to Impose your suggestion The very fact of making raking it an effort will bring Into play the conscious will and that will actually raise a barrier between the subconscious subconscious subconscious and tle the suggestion and prevent the latter from penetrating TO RELIEVE PAIN Now from what I have nave said of the superiority of a a. general formula of autosuggestion it must not be thought that I altogether discourage the application application cation of suggestion to specific com com- plaints On the contrary it is to be recommended unreservedly in all cases where it is desired to relieve pain correct correct correct cor cor- functional disorders or alleviate their symptoms oms For such purposes here Is my procedure procedure pro pro- to cause pain to vanish rub the affected spot lightly but rapidly with your hand at the same time re repeating repeating repeating re- re In an undertone so swiftly as asto asto asto to make of it a mere gabble the words ca passe pronounce sah pass In Ina Ina Ina a few minutes the pain should disappear disappear disappear pear or at the very least be cone con consider considerably sYler- sYler er- er ably diminished The reason for gab gab- gab gabbling ab- ab bling bUng the words Is to avoid the risk risk of any other extraneous or contrary thought slipping sUppIng in through fissures which might result from a more distinct dis- dis but slower diction For the same reason I advise English speaking people people peo peo- plo to stick sUck to the French version It being much easier easie 7 to say ca passe quickly than the longer and more awkward awkward awkward awk awk- ward expression It is passing or It ItIs ItIs Itis Is going Sufferers from sleeplessness will proceed proceed proceed pro pro- in another way Having settled themselves comfortably In bed they will repeat not gabble I I am going to sleep I am going to sleep in a quiet placid even voice olce avoiding of or course the slightest mental effort to attain attan the desired result The soporific effect of this droning repetition of the suggestion soon makes Itself felt whereas If one ono actually tries to sleep the spirit of wakefulness is kept alive by the negative idea according to the law of or converted effort Insomnia Indeed in indeed indeed In- In deed affords a striking demonstration of the disastrous effect of the exertion of the will the result of which is Just Jus the contrary to the one ono desired STAMMERING YIELDS Stammering again is a painful affliction affliction af af- which rea readily l' l yields to auto auto- suggestion I have known cases case's of cures being effected in one sitting though this naturally Is Js rare What is the tiro cause of stammering Merely the fear or the Idea that one Is going to stammer If you can substitute for tor that idea the conviction or the suggestion suggestion suggestion tion that you are not going to stutter that if it you can say ten words worda without stuttering there is no reason why you should stumble over the eleventh then you OU are cured Nervousness timidity lack lacle of oC confidence confidence conet- conet dence and still worse nervous phenomena phenomena phenomena phe phe- can be eradicated by the practise tise Uso of au autosuggestion for tor they are simply the consequences of or self- self suggestion of a a. wrong unnatural char char- acter Tho Those e who suffer surfer from such infirmities must set up a a. different train of suggestions by ea saying I am calm and you will be surprised There are quite a a. number of cases of paralysis which are only due to tho the patients patient's belief in his or her inability to use uso the affected limb or member They can cau all be cured easily certainly implant the notion I can wal walk I can move my arm or leg or finger and the cure is accomplished Why Because Because Because Be Be- cause although the lesion which orIginally originally originally produced the paralysis has healed already the patient has lost the habit of using his limb and still thinks he is unable to do so It is obvious that strong as as that subconscious no notion notion notion no- no tion may be in Its Hs effects those of a contrary notion must be equally strong if only the suggestion can be conveyed to the subconscious mind That Is the tho whole secret |
