There are three ways of mental impact on others.

First, it is direct suggestion. It uses voice, looks, look. This includes both voluntary suggestions and involuntary.

Involuntary suggestion is the impression we make on others.

Secondly, these are special thought waves that arise as a result of the efforts of the mind. One person sends them to another consciously, wanting to achieve a certain goal.

Thirdly, this is the so-called personal magnetism, that is, the attracting property of thought sent by a person.

We have already touched on the question of which people are more susceptible to suggestion. In this chapter, we will continue our conversation on this topic. Our mind has two main functions. The first, active, is characterized by conscious, volitional thinking. In other words, it is willpower, a person's ability to make independent decisions, analyze their actions. The second function, passive, is the exact opposite of the first.

The passive function is used much more often than the active one, and does not require any effort on the part of a person's will.

People who mainly use the passive function of the mind do not create their own thoughts, do not live by their own mind. These people rarely think, are subject to the herd feeling. Of course, they are much easier to manage: they are not always able to say "no", they are not used to thinking about their actions. A hypnotist can easily instill any thought in such a person.

And vice versa, difficulties can arise with people who are used to being responsible for their actions, living and thinking independently, analyzing events who are not afraid to go against the majority. Such people do not blindly take anything for granted, they are used to checking everything.

But even such people can be hypnotized by choosing a moment when they are very tired or too relaxed.

Of course, all people cannot be divided into two categories: active and passive. An ordinary person always combines the features of both types, just one function is more pronounced for him. One of the first tasks of the hypnotist is to lull the person's vigilance. This can be achieved by various methods of mental influence. You can develop the powers of your own subconsciousness and thoughts through the exercises that will be given below. Also, an important component of success is faith in yourself and your strength. Each person can learn to influence other people. Sometimes it just lacks self-confidence. It should be worked out. This will help solve many internal problems as well.

How to hypnotize a person and resist hypnosis

Now let's get down to practice. Hypnosis is carried out not with the help of some supernatural powers, which only magicians can master, but in very real ways available to everyone.

One of these ways is a conversation technique. It is necessary to conduct a conversation in such a way as to interest a person, to find common topics. When you manage to find a topic that is close to the interlocutor, you need to show the art of an intelligent and attentive listener. Getting a person to have a frank conversation is perhaps the most important thing in the art of conversation.

Making the right conclusions, it is easy to find a way with which you can influence the consciousness of another person.

The best intonation is similar to the intonation of your interlocutor. Don't try to outshout him if he speaks too loudly. On the contrary, it is better to lower your voice, and then your interlocutor will also begin to speak more quietly. With the help of a voice, you can bewitch a person, make you listen and, as a result, suggest anything. The main thing is to be able to use this tool.

Glance is also of great importance in hypnosis. Everyone knows about the existence of the concept of "magnetic gaze" with which you can hypnotize a person.

The power of the influence of human eyes is great: after all, they are called the mirror of the soul, the power of the thought of their owner is reflected in the eyes.

You can charm with a look, or you can repulse. The human eye can even influence animals. The magnetic gaze directly transmits strong mental vibrations to the brain of another person, which are capable of producing an effect close to hypnotic.

When talking with another person, you should look him directly in the eyes. However, you should not bite into the interlocutor with your eyes, as if in order to drill a hole in him. The look should express strong will, firmness and concentration. Try to keep the other person's attention all the time. Only by holding his gaze can an effective suggestion be made.

When a person is under the pressure of a magnetic gaze, it is difficult for him to think and reason - he is easier to suggest.

During the course of hypnosis, a dishonest person can not only rob you, but also suggest some action, lure you into a sect, etc.

Remember that in no case should you succumb to suggestion from an unfamiliar person.

If you find that someone is looking at you to hypnotize you, tell yourself that you will not be influenced. Create a barrier in your mind that will prevent the hypnotist from putting you into a trance state. Try to avoid an attractive gaze, do not look in any way the interlocutor in the eyes. It is best not to talk to dubious people at all, so in every possible way avoid dating on the street, in public transport.

Magnetic gaze technique

Let's turn to the technique of the magnetic gaze.

Magnetic gaze is not an innate gift. It can be learned. There are several specific exercises to help you do this. If you constantly and persistently train, then soon you will notice that under the influence of your gaze, people become somewhat confused, insecure.

Almost anyone can learn the technique of the magnetic gaze. It is enough just to have a strong desire to influence people.

Having mastered the technique of the magnetic gaze, use it only when necessary, since the impact on the human psyche never passes without a trace for anyone. At the moment of hypnotic influence, you take responsibility for a person who is subject to your will.

However, while you are just training, you can test the strength of your gaze on others.

Exercise 1

The exercises described below may seem a little boring to you, but they will bear real results if you practice them systematically and seriously.

For the first exercise, you will need a piece of paper. Draw a small, about 1 cm in diameter, circle on it and paint it black. Hang the sheet on the wall at the height of your eyes in a seated position. Then sit on a chair at a distance of 1 m from the sheet and gaze intently at the circle. You need to watch without blinking for 1 minute. After that, rest a little, and then repeat the exercise. In total, you need to complete five approaches.

Then move the sheet to the right a short distance (about 80 cm) from its original position. Sit in your seat and look at the wall in front of you without looking at the paper. Then, without turning your head, shift your gaze to the spot and look without blinking for 1 minute.

Repeat this exercise 4 more times.

Move the paper the same distance to the left of the original position, look at the paper for 1 minute. The number of repetitions of the exercise is 5 times.

This whole complex must be performed for 3 days, and then the time for looking at the circle should be increased to 2 minutes. Do the exercise again for 3 days, and then increase the time to 3 minutes. Continue to exercise daily, increasing the time by 1 minute every 3 days.

This exercise, despite its apparent simplicity, is very important on the way to the technique of magnetic gaze, as it teaches you to look into the eyes of another with confidence and conviction.

You can look without looking into the eyes of another person for 30 minutes. But even 15 minutes is quite enough to make any suggestion you need.

Exercise 2

The second exercise is similar to the first, but complements it and makes it more effective.

Stand in front of the mirror and, as intently as before that on the circle, look into your eyes. Increase the time gradually, as in the first exercise. Through this workout, you will learn how to endure other people's gaze and give expression to your eyes.

Your eyes will be able to acquire the expression you need at one time or another.

The second exercise must be combined with the first. This will help you achieve optimal results.

Exercise # 3

For the third exercise, stand against a wall at a distance of 90 cm. Place a piece of paper with a drawn circle at eye level. Then, without taking your eyes off the circle, start moving your head, rotating it. At the same time, the eyes should always look at the circle: this will help develop the optic nerves and muscles.

The exercise should be carried out without fatiguing the eyes.

Exercise 4

Look at the opposite wall and begin to quickly move your gaze from one point of the wall to another in all directions: right, left, up, down, zigzags, etc. As soon as you feel that your eyes are tired, stop doing the exercise. Stop your gaze at a point, and then complete the exercise.

Exercise 5

This exercise is necessary to develop confidence in the gaze you have already learned to create. You will need the help of another person to complete this exercise. Sit him down in front of you, sit down yourself and start gazing into his eyes. He should do the same. After a while, you will put him into a hypnotic state.

Experience the power of your pet gaze. You will see that they also cannot stand your gaze and try to look away.

At first, due to exercise, your eyes will get tired and watery. Wash your face with cold water for instant relief. However, after a few days of training, you will no longer experience pain, as your eyes will get used to such loads.

The power of thought

A person's ability to suggest is in direct proportion to his willpower.

The greats of this world had the ability to rule people. They could conquer the people with the power of their minds. Many of them often did not even realize for what reason people worship them, what is the secret of their power.

All great people possessed some kind of power that allowed them to influence the mass consciousness, dictate their will, and lead.

The power of thought is a conscious manifestation of will that causes certain mental vibrations aimed at an object. In other words, the hypnotist has a developed power of suggestion. He sends mental impulses to a person, and he fulfills the requirements that are addressed to his subconscious. Thought vibrations can be sent during a conversation, that is, over a short distance or over a long distance.

Transmitting mental vibrations over long distances is telepathy, which will be discussed in the next chapter.

A person endowed with inner strength realizes himself as a person, he perfectly knows all his capabilities and abilities. Remember: our body is only an external, physical shell, and our true essence is hidden inside. Using your inner strength correctly, you can win over any person and make him submit to your will and do what you need. If this person does not have sufficient resistance, you can easily subdue him.

To influence the consciousness of the interlocutor, it is necessary to send him a powerful mental demand with the help of consciousness, and do this with a firm belief that it will be fulfilled. If you begin to doubt the possibility of fulfilling your desire, then nothing will be achieved. And naturally, you need to develop your abilities: mastery is achieved through a lot of hard work and constant training. In order to transfer your will to another person, you also need the ability to focus. Below are exercises to help you learn concentration.

Some people, having only willpower and not knowing how to resist another mind, become tools in the hands of other people.

Exercise 1

The first exercise should be done while walking. Choose any person walking in front of you at a short distance - about nine meters - and start looking at the back of his head without looking up. Your gaze should be firm, intent, and persistent. Do not look away and mentally wish the person to turn around. After a short time, he will indeed turn his head.

Women are much more susceptible to this influence than men.

Exercise 2

This exercise bears a strong resemblance to the previous one, but you need to train in some public place - at a concert, in a theater, in a store. Focus your gaze on the same area, that is, on the back of the person's head, and watch carefully, mentally giving the order to turn around. Soon the person will begin to worry, nervously looking around. Eventually he will turn in your direction. The exercise is carried out more successfully on your friends - they will turn to you faster than strangers.

You may not succeed the first time. But after hard training, results will appear.

Exercise # 3

On the street, select the person on the opposite side of the road. It is better that he is not standing directly in front of you, but slightly to the right or to the left. Do not look directly at it, but keep it in sight. Then send a suggestion to the person to look at you. After a while, your chosen subject will look in your direction. In this case, his face will be somewhat absent-minded, even stupid.

The look thrown at you will be unconscious, as if it was forced to do it.

Exercise 4

This exercise will be especially useful for people who are going to take an oral exam, interview, or an activity that requires speaking to others to make a good impression.

Many successful businessmen are fluent in the science of persuasion.

When you are having a conversation with a person and you see that he cannot find the right word, direct a magnetic look at him and suggest the necessary word. And the person will suddenly remember him. An important requirement in this case: your word must be suitable, otherwise the person will find another, more consistent with the purpose of the statement. Speaking is especially helpful in oral exams.

Students with sufficient power of thought suggested to the examiner those questions, the answers to which they already knew. Of course, in written reviews, such a gift will not save.

Exercise 5

In this exercise, you need to force the person to change the direction of movement. It is convenient to do this while walking along the same street with another person.

Walk behind the chosen subject and keep your eyes on it. When this person encounters an obstacle (for example, a post) on his way, you can inspire him to go around him to the right or to the left; you may wish it to turn right or left, or stop.

Exercise 6

Stand by the window and look at the passers-by. Pick any person and want them to look at you. When you have enough experience, seven out of nine people obey your call.

All these exercises will help you learn to inspire your thoughts with other people, dictate your will to them. Remember only that you cannot use this skill aimlessly, for the sake of entertainment. The power of our subconscious mind is enormous, and it must be treated with respect and caution.

Principles of persuasive speech

The main instrument of suggestion is the word, speech. This chapter focuses on just that. Having mastered the technique of persuasive speech, you can most successfully use suggestion in your life. Persuasive speech is the process by which a person conveys a message designed to reinforce a certain belief in others, change it, or motivate the audience to take action. Let's look at specific techniques that are designed to help you achieve your persuasion goals.

The principles of persuasive speech can help you make the most of the power of words.

Principle 1

You are more likely to convince people if you can clearly and clearly articulate what they should believe or what they should do.

Your words will most likely be aimed at shaping or changing people's opinions, or at prompting them to take action. You say out loud a desire for your listeners to do something. Here are two statements of purpose that express the drive to achieve action:

“I want my listeners to agree to go to a charity concert that I’m hosting”;

"I want my audience to approve the project that I present to them."

Principle 2

You will be more likely to convince listeners if you formulate goals and present information, guided by the attitudes that your listeners adhere to.

Attitude is dominant or persistent feelings, positive or negative, that are associated with a subject, thing or question.

Thus, the phrase “I think it is important to keep the apartment clean” is an opinion that reflects a person's positive attitude towards maintaining order in the house.

Attitudes are expressed by people most often in the form of opinions.

To successfully conduct a suggestion, you need to find out what attitudes your prospective listeners hold. The more information you can get about the audience and the more experienced you are in its analysis, the more likely it is that the main attitudes of the listeners will be correctly predicted.

Despite the fact that the opinion of the majority usually prevails, there will always be a few people in any audience who do not share it.

Audience attitudes, expressed as opinions, can be categorized on a continuous scale, from extreme positive to most negative.

In general, audience opinions are usually grouped around a specific point. This point of concentration is the generalized attitude of the audience towards the subject.

Audience opinions can be ranked on a scale with the following divisions:

- hostile;

- disagreeing;

- medium disagreeing;

- neutral;

- moderately supportive;

- supportive;

- extremely supportive.

On the same scale, in general, any audience can be attributed to one of three types.

1. Audience with a positive attitude (listeners already hold this point of view).

2. Audience with no definite opinion (listeners are not informed, neutral or indifferent).

3. An audience with a negative attitude (listeners hold the opposite point of view).

Each of the three types has its own speech behavior strategy.

1. Positive attitude of the audience. If you think that the audience already supports your opinion, then you should consider rethinking your goal, focusing on a specific program of action. That is, you can revise and increase the number of goals that you want to achieve by resorting to the help of speech suggestion.

By determining which of the three groups your intended audience belongs to, you can develop a strategy for adapting your speech to that attitude.

2. Lack of a definite opinion. If you find that listeners do not have a definite opinion on your topic, you can set yourself the goal of forming their opinion or persuading them to act as you see fit.

If you think that the audience has no opinion because it is not informed, then your main task is to provide as much information as is necessary so that the audience understands the essence of the matter, before you challenge them to accept some opinion or commit certain actions.

If you think that listeners are neutral about the subject of the conversation, then they are capable of objective assessment and the perception of reasonable arguments. Then your speech should contain the most logical and weighty arguments and support them with the most accurate and verified information that you can find.

If your assessment of the overwhelming attitude of the audience is correct, you will have a high chance of success with this strategy.

If you think that the audience does not have a definite opinion, because the subject of the upcoming conversation is indifferent to them, all your efforts should be aimed at moving them from a position of indifference. In this case, you need to focus not on specific information, but on motivation. Use less material to support the logical chain of your evidence, and more material that is directly addressing the needs of the listeners, affecting their feelings.

If you think your audience is mildly disagreeing with your proposal, feel free to present your arguments to them, hoping that the weight of those arguments will cause them to accept your opinion as correct.

3. Negative attitude of the audience. If you find that your future audience is likely to disagree with your opinion, your speech strategy will depend on whether their attitude is moderately negative or completely hostile.

When speaking to a negative audience, pay special attention to presenting the material objectively and presenting your case clearly enough so that people who disagree with you want to think about your proposal, and those who completely disagree at least understand your point of view.

If you feel that your audience is completely hostile to your goal, you might be better off approaching the topic from afar, or consider modifying or transforming your goal somewhat. You should not think that you will be able to achieve a complete revolution in relationships or in people's behavior at the end of one speech.

Once the idea has taken root, you can invite listeners to take the change even further.

If possible, spread the achievement of your main goal over several "sessions." If you start by making a proposal that makes the audience at least partly change their attitude towards the subject, you may make your listeners think that your message may have some value.

Principle 3

You will more quickly convince your audience if your speech contains logical and reasonable arguments and evidence in support of your goal.

You can use people's commitment to rationality to convince the audience. We rarely do anything without a real or imagined rational reason. To play on this need of the listeners, the main points of your persuasive speech must be formulated in the form of arguments.

Arguments are statements explaining why an offer is justified.

In this case, the question arises of how to find good arguments. Arguments are statements that answer the question of why we should believe in or do something. If you are familiar with your subject, then it will not be difficult for you to find reasons for each provision of your speech.

Make a list of plausible reasons, study them carefully, and evaluate them impartially.

When preparing your persuasive speech, you will surely discard many of the arguments due to the fact that they do not have sufficient support.

Then choose three or four of the best, most compelling ones.

There are the following criteria for evaluating alleged reasons:

1. Arguments must be based on facts. Many of the arguments may sound impressive enough, but they cannot actually be backed up.

2. The arguments must be relevant to your subject. Some statements look like arguments, but in fact they do not carry any valid evidence of what you intend to say.

3. Arguments must impact your potential listeners. Even if the first rule is followed, the argument will not fulfill its persuasive role in the audience, which does not consider the criterion you have chosen to be the most important for assessing the situation.

While it is impossible to accurately predict how your audience will react to an argument, you can roughly estimate its impact based on your audience analysis.

You should pay attention to three more aspects, three points of view, from which it is necessary to evaluate your chosen arguments.

1. The source from which the information was taken. Just as the opinions of some people are more trusted than the opinions of others, so certain printed sources are more reliable.

2. Modernity of information. If your speech uses any ideas or statistics, then it is better that they are close enough to the present moment. What was true 5 years ago may not be true today.

If your evidence comes from an unreliable or biased source, look elsewhere for evidence or exclude that evidence from your speech.

3. The relevance of the information. You need to make sure that the evidence is a direct basis for your reasoning. If it is not, it should not be used in your persuasion speech.

Principle 4

You will more quickly convince your listeners if you structure your arguments based on the intended reactions of the listeners.

The most commonly used persuasion schemes are the following:

- the method of presenting rational arguments;

- method for solving the problem;

- method of comparative merits;

- method of motivation.

Rational Reasoning Method

Rational Reasoning is a straightforward pattern in which you present the best evidence-based arguments to your audience in the following order: the strongest argument at the end, the second strongest at the beginning, and the rest in between.

Rational reasoning will work best if the audience does not hold any particular opinion about the subject, is indifferent to it, or is only partially inclined towards for or against.

Example sentence: “I want the audience to collect funds for the needs of the office:

- the funds raised will help improve working conditions by purchasing new equipment (the second most powerful argument);

- The collected funds will be partially used to pay off debts;

"The real costs for each office worker will be very small (the strongest argument)."

Problem solving method

You can clarify the nature of the problem and graphically explain why the proposed solution is the best. The structure of speech, built according to this method, is often organized on the basis of the following provisions:

- there is a problem that requires action;

- this proposal will help to solve the problem;

- this proposal is the best solution to the problem because it provides positive results.

This method is straightforward presentation of the arguments, and therefore it is best used when the subject is not too familiar and understandable to the audience, when they simply do not know about the existence of the problem, or when the audience has no opinion or to a moderate extent for or against the proposed solution. ...

Sample sentence:

“I want the audience to collect funds for the needs of the office:

- lack of money leads to problems in the work of the institution (problem statement);

- the estimated income from fundraising will be enough to solve these problems (solution);

- Today, fundraising for office needs is the best method for solving problems that have arisen (positive results). "

For a speech that is built according to the scheme for solving a problem, the logic connecting the arguments and the goal of the speaker can be expressed as follows: if the existing problem is not solved or cannot be solved by the measures applied, and this proposal is able to solve the problem in practice, then the proposal should be accepted.

Comparative Merit Method

The comparative merit approach enables the speaker to shift the focus to the benefits of the proposed course of action. Rather than presenting the proposal as a way to solve a complex problem, this method portrays it as something that should be chosen simply because of its advantages over what is being done at a given time.

The approach to the issue of introducing a school tax from the standpoint of comparing merits would look something like this.

This scheme is most effective when listeners agree either that there is a problem that needs to be solved, or that the proposal is better than all others, even if there are no specific problems at the moment.

Sample sentence:

“I want the audience to collect funds for the needs of the office.

- fundraising will allow the office to improve the quality of work (dignity 1);

- proceeds from this tax will allow schools to invite the best professionals in our field for consultation (dignity 2);

- this fee will allow purchasing modern equipment (merit 3) ”.

For a speech that is structured according to a comparative merit scheme, the organizational logic linking the reasoning and the purpose of the speech can be expressed as follows: if the arguments presented show that a given proposal provides a significant improvement over what is being done at the moment, then the proposal should be accepted.

Motivation method

This method combines problem solving and student motivation.

A motivation scheme usually includes the following five steps:

- to attract attention;

- statement of the need, revealing the nature of the problem;

The motivation method is carried out according to the problem solving scheme. It also contains the necessary steps to enhance the motivational effect of speech.

- satisfaction of a need, explaining how your proposal resolves the existing problem in a positive way;

- a visual representation showing what the proposal will bring personally for each listener;

- a call to action, highlighting a certain direction that the audience needs to follow.

The motivational scheme of the speech in defense of the proposal to hold a cash collection at the enterprise would look like this.

Sample sentence:

“I want the audience to collect funds for the needs of the enterprise:

- comparing the results of our products with the same products made by professionals from different countries, makes us pay attention to our production system (attention);

- lack of money, which is the result of measures to reduce costs, negatively affects our work and the quality of our goods (need, statement of the problem);

- the proposed fundraising will give an income sufficient to solve this problem, since after that it will be possible to direct more funds to work needs (satisfaction of the need, as the proposal solves the problem);

- it will be your contribution not only to the enterprise, but also to bring production to the level of world standards, which it once corresponded to (visual representation of the meaning of the proposal for everyone personally);

Since the motivational scheme is only a variant of the scheme for solving the problem, the logic of constructing a persuasive speech here is mostly the same: if the measures applied do not solve the problem, then the proposed proposal that is really capable of solving it must be accepted.

Principle 5

You will convince your audience faster if you speak in a way that motivates them.

Motivation is the forces that affect the body from the outside and from the inside, which initiate and direct behavior.

Motivation often comes from the use of incentives and expressive language. For an incentive to be of any value, it must mean something.

The significance of a stimulus means that it evokes an emotional response. The impact of an incentive is strongest when it is part of a meaningful goal.

The power of incentives

People are more likely to perceive incentives as meaningful when those incentives indicate a favorable cost-reward ratio.

For example, you instill in your audience the idea of ​​spending an hour a week of your personal time doing charity work. The time you spend will most likely be perceived as a cost, not a reward. But you can schedule this work in such a way that it becomes perceived by the audience as an incentive that provides a reward.

So, you can ensure that your listeners, spending time on such an important and necessary matter, feel like people doing their civic duty, socially responsible or noble helpers.

If you make it clear that these rewards or incentives outweigh the costs, your listeners are more likely to be willing to participate in the proposed program.

Applying incentives that match basic needs

Incentives are most effective when applied to meet basic needs. One of the most popular needs theories was developed by Abraham Maslow. According to his theory, people show a greater tendency to act when the stimulus offered by the speaker is able to satisfy one of the important unmet needs of the listeners.

What is the point of this analysis for you as a person who wants to inspire a thought or action in an audience?

First, this theory describes the kinds of needs that you can address in your speech.

Secondly, it makes it possible to understand why some line of development of the topic of conversation can work successfully in one audience and lead to failure with another audience.

For example, in a difficult period from an economic point of view, people are more interested in satisfying physiological and safety needs, and therefore less responsive to appeals to their public feelings and altruism.

Third, if your speech message conflicts with an existing need, you must prepare in advance a worthy alternative from the same or from a more fundamental category of needs. So, if the implementation of your proposal will cost people money (fundraising for the needs of the enterprise), you must show that these measures satisfy some other, comparable in importance, needs (for example, increase their safety).

Principle 6

You will convince listeners more quickly when they see you as a trustworthy person.

For your persuasive speech to be successful, the listeners' trust in you is important.

If you intend to persuade with your speech, in addition to being well prepared, you must emphasize your interest in the welfare of the audience with your appearance and manner of speaking, show enthusiasm, you must behave ethically.

Telling the truth means more than avoiding deliberate, outright lies. If you are not sure if the information is true, do not use it until you have verified it. Ignorance does not always excuse wrongdoing.

The following four rules are at the heart of ethical persuasion speech.

1. Speak the truth. Of all the rules, this is perhaps the most important. People who have agreed to listen to you trust you and expect you to be honest with them. Therefore, if people think that you are not telling the truth, or later find out that you have lied, they will reject not only you, but your ideas as well.

2. Put your information in perspective. Many people are so excited by the content of the information they receive from the speaker that they unnecessarily exaggerate its significance. While a slight exaggeration may well be perceived as natural, when it starts to look distorted, many tend to perceive it as a lie.

3. Do not allow personal attacks on those who do not support your ideas in your speech. Insulting an adversary negatively affects the speaker's image as a trustworthy person.

4. Provide sources of any negative information. The roots and origins of ideas are often as important as the ideas themselves, especially if the statement contains accusations or incriminating information. If you intend to discuss any wrongdoing of a certain person or organization or subvert an idea based on words or opinions you have gleaned from somewhere else, indicate the source of your information and arguments.

This tactic does not add strength to the speaker's evidence and is an abuse of the opportunity to speak from the podium.

Suggestion of thoughts is an impact during which a person changes his own attitudes, beliefs, intellectual attitude regarding an event, action or object. Also, the suggestion of thoughts includes the acquisition of new attitudes by a person, for example, the emergence of desires and aspirations that he did not have before.

In order for the suggestion of thoughts to always have a positive result, it is necessary to follow some rules:

• The object of suggestion must be in a state in which critical comprehension and logical processing of information are disabled. This can happen in a light trance, under the influence of hypnosis and alcohol.
• The person exercising the influence must sincerely believe in what he inspires to his ward. If this does not happen, the result of the suggestion will be dubious.
• You cannot feel dissatisfaction with yourself and your actions during the suggestion session. Otherwise, the result will not be achieved.
• It is necessary to fulfill all those promises that were given to the suggested, otherwise the result of the suggestion will be leveled.
• You need to constantly train and improve your skills, since this affects the quality of the result.

Suggestion and persuasion

Suggestion and persuasion are ways of influencing the human psyche.

Persuasion is one of the types of directed psychological influence, which is carried out through the presentation of arguments. Persuasion operates with the consciousness of a person. Therefore, it is important to use argumentation to explain the essence of the phenomenon, cause-and-effect relationships and relationships in the course of it, the essence of the phenomenon is explained, an explanation of the significance of any issue.

Persuasion means include showing, telling and justifying (argumentation). Therefore, one can convince not only with the help of words, but also with action, a personal example of behavior. The effect of suggestion is possible, which is based on opposition, which, for example, makes the object of persuasion a desire to try what is believed to be inaccessible to him.

Belief affects human behavior, but not directly. Since it is an internal urge or compulsion to action through an appeal to the human mind.

The following factors affect the strength and quality of persuasion:

1. Prejudice. In this case, the main work takes place with the formulation of the problem itself and the solution that the client already has. For the manipulator, it is necessary to change with his message those attitudes in which the object of belief believes.
2. Trust in the source. It is very important to inspire confidence in your appearance and behavior, to inspire sympathy and appear authoritative.
3. Message. The message itself must be convincing. For this, not only arguments are used, but also vivid images designed to focus the attention of the audience on the accent of the problem needed by the manipulator.
4. Emotions. Despite the fact that persuasion appeals to the mind of people, it is impossible to get around emotions with this impact on a person. For example, messages that "take the soul" of the client have a much greater impact on him than dry arguments and facts.

The difference between persuasion and suggestion is that suggestion appeals to the subconscious, bypassing the conscious aspect of controlling information. And belief affects the consciousness of a person, in which it is very important to critically comprehend the information received, correlate it with previous experience and build logical chains. Although a belief has an emotional component, suggestion operates only with a person's emotions and other subconscious factors, when the belief refers specifically to the human mind.

Methods of suggestion

Experts identify the following methods of suggestion:

1. Suggestion while the client is awake, when he is in an active state of consciousness.
2. Suggestion during relaxation, when psychological and muscle relaxation occurs.
3. Suggestion through hypnosis, when the client gets into a highly altered psychophysiological state.

There is another classification of methods of suggestion:

1. Verbal suggestion, in which the impact is carried out with the help of speech, is verbal.
2. Mental suggestion, which is made without direct contact with the client, over a long distance.
3. Metaphysical suggestion, which is a combination of conversation about the reality of the human "I" and the unity of the Universe with the mental process of suggestion. This method is used to physically and mentally heal the client.
4. Spiritual influence, which is used for the physical, mental and spiritual healing of a person. The healer is in the flow of the healing forces of the Universe, which he directs to the client. In the process of healing, overconsciousness is involved, which has good contact with the subconscious of a person and helps to heal from ailments, as well as bring the psyche into a state of harmony.

There are also three forms of suggestion:

1. Strong persuasion.
2. Pressure.
3. Emotional and volitional impact.

Indirect suggestions

Indirect suggestions are a type of influence on a person in which he has a choice: to accept or reject the suggestion provided. This type of suggestion is necessary in order to direct the client's behavior, emotions or thoughts in the direction that he avoids.

Indirect suggestions are divided into several subspecies:

1. An acceptance sequence in which the suggestor lists statements that the client agrees with. And at the end, he says the installation that a person needs to accept.
2. An implication, during which the suggestor says affirmatively about what can happen, and the client pre-sets himself up for the predicted result.
3. A double link is a commonly used technique in which the client is presented with a choice of two similar options.
4. Suggestion by the absence of mention, in which the suggestor enumerates a list of possible situations, omitting a significant event. Subsequently, the client's attention is drawn to it, and as a result, the person focuses his consciousness on this very factor.

Hypnotic suggestion

Hypnotic suggestion is a type of influence on a person that requires the client's immersion in an altered state called hypnosis. During the suggestion session, the client is immersed in a hypnotic sleep with the help of the suggestor. In this state, the object of influence actively reacts to what the hypnotist says. At the same time, there is no critical comprehension of information, and the commands fall directly into the subconscious, bypassing conscious analysis and comprehension. And then they influence the behavior and health of a person, his psycho-emotional state.

The methods of hypnotic suggestion are divided into:

1. Mechanical, during which the client is influenced by objects and phenomena that have a monotonous nature (light, sound, and so on).
2. Mental, when verbal impact is used.
3. Magnetic, based on the use of healing magnetism.

It is believed that the greatest effect is given by a combination of psychic and magnetic approaches.

Psychological suggestion

Due to the fact that there is everyday suggestion, it is necessary to specially highlight the psychological suggestion. This is a form of suggestion, in which a special psychological influence of one person (suggestor) on another person (suggestor) is carried out. The above influence is carried out through verbal and non-verbal communication. At the same time, the quality of the suggestions' arguments is low, and the criticality of the suggestion of the suggestion is at a low level.

The suggestion is imbued with the arguments of the suggestor, as if it were his own, moreover, often without requiring any proof of the statements being spoken. In such cases, the suggestor is influenced not so much by the source, content and form of suggestion, but by the personality of the suggestor, which inspires unquestioning confidence in the client.

The inculcated attitudes, embedded in the suggestor, become an integral part of the client's personality. And in the future, a person exposed to the suggestion changes his behavior in accordance with the received attitudes.

Mental suggestion

Mental suggestion is carried out when the object of influence is absent in the reach of the suggestor. Such exposure is considered absentee. Mental suggestion is carried out as follows - you need to imagine that the recipient of the influence is next to the person making the suggestion. You can imagine a client from a distance, but it is important to see him nearby. Then you need to include the idea that thoughts leave the suggestor and reach the brain and consciousness of the suggested. It is also possible that the person making the suggestion imagines that he and his client are having a conversation.

One of the main conditions for this technique is the ability of the suggestor to imagine the desired state of the client. Transmitting thoughts over a distance does not consume much energy. You just need to imagine that there is a movement of thoughts from the suggestor to the suggested person.

Mental suggestion has several stages:

1. Tracking and tuning to the object of suggestion.
2. Focusing on an object and forming contact.
3. Instilling the necessary information.

Remote suggestion

Remote suggestion is an ability that not every person possesses. Most people are confident that their thoughts and desires are completely independent. However, there is such a phenomenon as suggestion at a distance, which can change the beliefs and behavior of people. This phenomenon is associated with telepathy and hypnosis. Classical hypnosis techniques require direct contact with the client. However, hypnotic telepathy is possible without eye contact with the suggesting agent, or even does not require the presence of the object of suggestion.

Suggestion at a distance occurs through the transmission of impulses emanating from the cerebral cortex of the person performing the action. The receiver of the signals does not even suspect that he has involuntarily become the receiver of other people's thoughts. Therefore, thoughts and feelings that arise in oneself are perceived by a person as their own.

It has long been known that the human brain is like a kind of "radio receiver" that can both receive and emit different impulses. Under certain circumstances, the brain begins to perceive other people's thoughts at a distance, as well as transmit its own thoughts to people.

Suggestion technique

The basic technique of suggestion includes the following steps:

1. Establish contact (rapport) with the client and form subconscious trust. For this, the mechanism of verbal and non-verbal adjustment (implicit imitation) is used. Verbal adjustment occurs with the help of agreement with the statements of the object of influence. Non-verbal adjustment uses the rate of speech, intonation and timbre of the client's voice; poses and gestures; breathing rhythm and pauses in speech and so on.
2. Leading the client into a light trance in order to reduce the activity of consciousness. It does this with:
   • fixing the client's attention on any external object, manipulating objects;
   • drawing attention to any part of the suggested body and focusing on sensations in it;
   • keeping the attention of the object of suggestion on any experience, emotion.
3. The activity of consciousness also decreases in situations of mild shock, surprise, confusion, overloading with redundant information.
4. The launch of an unconscious search for analogies in the client's subconscious is carried out with the help of metaphors, questions, stories told by the suggestor.
5. Direct suggestion. At this stage, the suggestor uses the injection of commands into the subconscious of the target.

Suggestion mechanism

In order for the suggestion to achieve the result, it is necessary to influence the subconscious of a person. To do this, in various ways, the conscious processes responsible for the critical comprehension of information and the logical analysis of the data obtained are turned off. And the emotional component of a person's personality, on the contrary, becomes actively involved in the process of suggestion.

The subconscious mind perceives as truth any command that is repeated many times, and in a convincing form. The suggested setting penetrates into the subconscious and remains there forever, even if the object of influence has forgotten about the very act of suggestion. Within a certain period of time, there is a change in the state and behavior of the client, in accordance with the received commands.

Neurophysiologists explain the mechanism of suggestion as follows. With the help of speech, the suggestor acts on the client's cerebral cortex, thereby irritating it. Suggestions' orders evoke certain emotions that arise due to the stimulation of the subcortical areas of the brain. Negative induction, which appears due to the low resistance of consciousness, is transmitted throughout the cerebral cortex. Therefore, the team becomes limited from all other influences and the client obeys the suggestion. A new dominant of excitement appears in the cerebral cortex, which is quite persistent and strongly influences the client's further behavior.

Suggestion and hypnosis

Hypnosis is a special altered state of human psychophysiology, which is invoked with the aim of making suggestion. With the help of this state, it is possible to achieve a change in the client's attitudes and beliefs, to achieve an improvement in his psycho-emotional state and well-being. Since the subconscious of the object of suggestion is configured to carry out those commands that were received under hypnotic influence.

There are four phases of hypnosis:

1. Light drowsiness and muscle relaxation appear, while consciousness and memory remain clear.
2. There is a waxy flexibility in the muscles, which allows the client to maintain a particular pose for a long time. Consciousness is clouded.
3. Actually hypnosis, when the client's impressions and emotions are limited directly to the information that is given to the client by the hypnotist verbally. During this phase, the client can be immersed in a state of catalepsy, in which his body seems to become wooden.
4. It is characterized by the client's entry into a somnambulistic state, in which the manifestation of such phenomena as telepathy and clairvoyance becomes possible.

Suggestion and hypnosis are different types of influence, since hypnosis takes place in a strongly altered state of consciousness, and suggestion is carried out either in a light trance or in the full consciousness of the client. The relationship between suggestion and hypnosis is that any hypnotic effect is carried out in order to produce a session of suggestion to the client.

Types of suggestion

The types of suggestion are divided into verbal and non-verbal, intentional and unintentional impact.

1. Verbal is a type of suggestion that is carried out with the help of words. There are three subspecies of verbal suggestion:
   • direct;
   • indirect;
   • open;
   • hidden.
2. Non-verbal is a type of suggestion that is carried out wordlessly, with the help of gestures, looks and intonations. There are three forms of non-verbal suggestion used by professionals:
   • catalepsy;
   • pauses;
   • levitation.
3. Intentional is a form of suggestion, when the suggestor has a specific target of influence; clearly realizes what and to whom he is going to instill and makes every effort to achieve the goal.
4. Unintentional is a form of suggestion, when the suggestor has no explicit goals to suggest something to the object of influence and does not use any intentional efforts for this. This form of suggestion is effective if the object of influence is internally predisposed to the suggested information.

• Positive - allows you to achieve positive changes in the client's condition, his qualities, emotions and behavior.
• Negative - has a negative psychological impact on a person, after which he has negative states, properties, feelings and actions.

Strict suggestion

Strict suggestion is a severe censure of certain actions of a person. Strict suggestion is made in a negative form and predicts the most deplorable measures to the object of influence if the suggestion does not fulfill the conditions that were set for him.

Strong suggestion is usually made after the person has committed a misdemeanor. Typically, such an impact turns out to be a more influential, authoritative person of higher rank, rank or position. With strict suggestion, they can use elements of intimidation or threats, emotional pressure and blackmail, as well as forecasting negative consequences for a person.

Suggestive suggestion

Suggestion is a mental suggestion that is used to change the thinking processes of the target. Also, during the suggestion process, feelings and emotions, reactions and other aspects of the client's behavior change. The act of influence, usually, is not noticed by the person on whom the suggestive suggestion is carried out. The method of suggestive influence is usually used in psychotherapy with the aim of curing mental and physical ailments of the patient.

Distinguish between suggestion, which is carried out from the outside (someone else's suggestive suggestion) and one's own suggestive suggestion (auto-suggestion, auto-suggestion).

Verbal suggestion

Verbal (or verbal) suggestion is a type of influence on a person, which is produced with the help of words.

Consider the subspecies of verbal suggestion:

• Direct suggestion. With this type of suggestion, the intentions and goals of the suggestor are clear, which are clearly articulated and implemented. They cannot be interpreted in any other way than the one that was offered to the object of influence. This type of suggestion is used, for example, during operations to relieve the process.
• Indirect suggestion. In this case, the intentions of the suggestor are not clear to the object of suggestion, so he may not be influenced. Since the goals and intentions of the person carrying out the suggestion are incomprehensible to the client, the latter has a choice - to succumb to the suggestion or not. Usually, indirect suggestion is used when they want to direct a person in the direction that he ignores.
• Open suggestion, which differs in that it provides a person with a choice of various options for action. There are several forms of open suggestion:
  • Mobilizing, when the object of suggestion is offered a sufficiently wide framework that the client fills with content to his liking.
  • Limited, when the client is offered a list of answers from which he can choose the one that suits him.
  • A therapeutic metaphor that uses the replacement of the name of one object, phenomenon or event with another. This method is used to connect different aspects of reality in suggestion.
• Covert suggestion is the composition of the suggestion of the speech with the help of various kinds of covert commands. Such forms of influence are inserted into the broader context of the text that the inspiring person pronounces.

Non-verbal suggestion

Non-verbal suggestion is an impact carried out without the help of words through the use of non-verbal methods - intonation, gestures, looks, manipulation of objects, timbre of voice and others. It is possible to use this type of suggestion not only with a conscious specific purpose, but also exclusively unconsciously.

Consider the types of non-verbal suggestion:

1. Catalepsy, during which the client adopts a certain imposed position for the success of the suggested suggestion. Allocate catalepsy of the whole body or its individual parts. It is not worth constantly resorting to this type of suggestion.
2. Pauses that are inserted in the right places. The client fills in the gap (void) in the spoken text with his own solutions, so the use of pauses can take the form of open suggestion. In addition, with the help of pauses, you can highlight the main idea of ​​the phrase or the entire text.
3. Levitation, during which no physical influence of the suggestor is required. The suggestion made is carried out with the help of the client himself, namely, thanks to his imagination. In this case, the object of suggestion itself determines the moment of entering a trance state, which makes levitation suitable for self-hypnosis sessions. Because after the suggestor has taught the client to enter the state of levitation, the object of suggestion can use it on its own.

Hidden suggestion

Covert suggestion is a form of non-verbal influence. There are several forms of covert suggestion:

1. Suggestion through speech strategies. This is a method of covert suggestion, when the instruction given to the client is dissolved in the structure of the sentence. Such verbal tricks are achieved using the techniques of assumption, limitation of choice, abstract proposition, denial, causal opposition, truisms, and so on.
2. Suggestion using hidden quotes. This method of suggestion involves influencing by expressing the thoughts of strangers or creating an artificial situation that can be used as a pretext for psychological influence. The story is carried out on behalf of another person, but the object of influence understands that the appeal is directed personally to him.
3. Suggestion through marking. The essence of this technique lies in the non-verbal highlighting of that part of the utterance that is the command for the object of suggestion. This can be achieved, for example, by raising your voice on the desired phrase, changing the rate of speech, inserting small pauses before and after the command, changing the timbre of the voice. You can gesticulate with your hands or manipulate objects - a mobile phone, a lighter, a pen.
4. Creation of a thought form. Suggestion occurs due to the introduction of thoughts to the client, which begin to guide his actions. Such statements, which are pronounced in a convincing way, begin their independent life in the head of the object of suggestion and direct his reasoning in the right direction.

Dream suggestion

The result of this method of influence is similar to the effect of hypnotic suggestion. In a dream, the influence of speech is not conscious. The target is not aware that he is listening to someone's speech; clients refer to words that they perceive as thoughts that have appeared in their dreams.

Suggestion in a dream occurs by whispering special phrases to a sleeping person. The technique of suggestion to a sleeping person is simple and is divided into several stages:

1. Sleeping adjustment. It is necessary to sit at the head of the target. You need to touch the client's finger and hold it in such a way as not to wake him up. You can also gently place your palm on your forehead. Within 2-3 minutes, you need to say in a quiet voice, in the rhythm of the sleeping person's breathing: "The dream is getting deeper and deeper."
2. Checking the conduct of the sleeper. Speech should be quiet and calm, while pronouncing words, you need to either slow down or accelerate the pace of speech. If the sleeping rhythm of the sleeper also changes, then contact with the client is established.
3. Suggestion. At this stage, phrases are pronounced that need to be conveyed to the client.
4. Forgetting suggestion. You can tell the client that after waking up he will forget everything that happened during sleep. But, at the same time, the sleeper will remember that he was inspired.

The session of suggestion is carried out at night in the first 15 - 45 minutes of sleep or in the morning 1-2 hours before waking up.

Waking suggestion

Waking suggestion comes in several varieties:

1. During active wakefulness of the client.
2. In a state of rest and light relaxation.

There are several rules to help you achieve success during suggestion:

1. You need to be absolutely confident in your abilities and in what is being said.
2. Speaking is required to pronounce the words loudly, clearly and distinctly.
3. You need to look your ward in the eyes.
4. Before starting work with a client, you need to relax as much as possible and relieve yourself of psychological stress.
5. At the beginning of the session, it is necessary to establish contact with the client.
6. The best results are obtained when the target is in a light trance state.
7. It is necessary to set the required expectation; say what should be the result and why.
8. The suggestor should be at rest.

Direct suggestion

Direct suggestion is a type of suggestion in which the intentions of the influence are open and cannot be interpreted in any other way. Direct suggestion is divided into the following subspecies:

1. Explicit suggestion - the suggestor transparently and in detail explains to the client what goal is being pursued and what result is expected.
2. Camouflaged suggestion - the suggestor does not declare the intentions of the influence, but at the same time makes it clear that the effect of the influence depends on the client himself.
3. Post-hypnotic suggestion - is used to provoke a state of self-hypnosis in the client or in cases when the object of influence needs to erase from memory any events traumatizing his psyche. Thanks to post-hypnotic suggestion, the client can be programmed to take any action after the end of the hypnotic session.

Suggestion of thoughts from photography

Suggestion of thoughts from a photograph is a type of mental suggestion that is carried out at a great distance from the client. With mental suggestion, you need to establish contact with the object of influence. To do this, the suggestor evokes the image of the client in his mind and keeps it for a long time.

To facilitate the transmission of thoughts to a distance, a photographic snapshot of the object of suggestion is used. Since it is not required to direct efforts to keep the image of the client in the mind, the mental impact on him is more successful.

The technique of suggesting thoughts from a photograph is simple. The suggestor needs to sit down, relax and put himself into a state of light trance. Then you need to focus your gaze on the photograph of the client and start mentally saying a command over and over again. This must be done with confidence, discarding any doubts. A constant concentration of consciousness is required on the desired setting, as well as on the image of the client.

Suggestion in business communication

Suggestion in business communication occurs under the influence of the authority of the person from whom the information received comes. This happens in emotionally intense business negotiations, as well as in stressful situations. At this time, the criticality of consciousness decreases and one can succumb to a provocative suggestion.

Lack of time, when it is impossible to take a break and critically rethink the information received, is also a factor conducive to suggestion.

The suggestion is made in a categorical form, with elements of psychological pressure. Therefore, the suggested one does not weigh the information and does not lend itself to its logical analysis, but simply automatically reacts to it by performing certain actions.

A person who falls under the suggestive influence is able to impulsively make a decision only under the influence of emotions, without thinking about his behavior.

The quality of the suggestion depends on the person's age, gender, personality characteristics and type of thinking. Also, the knowledge of the suggestor of the personality characteristics of the individual to whom the suggestion is made is the key to the success of the influence.

Suggestion treatment

The word is considered healing no less than other medical techniques - medication, surgical, physiotherapy, folk. With the help of suggestions, you can cure:

1. Neuroses, stuttering, aggressive behavior and other psycho-emotional disorders.
2. Many internal diseases, especially of a psychosomatic nature.
3. The initial stages of cancer.
4. Alcohol, drug, food and other types of addiction, as well as tobacco smoking.
5. Bad habits, such as the desire to constantly bite your nails, and so on.
6. Correct unwanted behaviors, such as getting rid of laziness, improving school performance, not wanting to eat, and so on.

Healing of the body and psyche comes through the use of huge hidden reserves of the human central nervous system. Suggestion treatment is carried out using the control of psychophysiological processes during the introduction of the patient into a hypnotic state and pronouncing a command to him that changes the client's attitudes, beliefs and mood.

Disease suggestion

Disease suggestion refers to the negative form of suggestion. The object of influence, previously distinguished by health, develops manifestations of the disease for which it was programmed. Very often, the suggestion of diseases occurs at the everyday level, for example, by overly caring parents or grandmothers who constantly inspire their child that he will get sick from any external factors.

Diseases of suggestion most often occur in hypochondriacs, who are susceptible to both external suggestion and autosuggestion. Hypochondria is a condition that is manifested by the presence of fears or excessive concern about one's own health. Hypochondriacs are often afraid of contracting some dangerous, fatal disease.

Usually, the suggestion of a disease is effective when a person internally agrees with the speaker or himself suspects something like that.

Fear instilling

Fear suggestion is a negative impact designed to provide a person with a state of anxiety, anxiety or panic fear. It is also possible to actualize depressive states or apathy. The danger can be real or imaginary. Fear can cause a specific object, phenomenon, or simply hold on to an inexplicable state of anxiety or panic. Feelings of fear can also arise in the face of the unknown.

It is characteristic that prior to the moment of suggestion, the object of influence did not exhibit negative reactions to the above stimuli. After the suggestion made, the suggesters have a stable behavior in which they begin to avoid any places, objects or phenomena to which they were previously indifferent. Moreover, this fear is unmotivated: if a person is asked why he is afraid of something specific, then he will not even be able to give a reasoned answer to this question.

When faced with an object or phenomenon that causes fear, all psychophysiological characteristics of a person change, he easily gets out of control of his consciousness and falls into a panic. It is possible to remove the suggestion of fear only by a response session (or sessions) of influence of the opposite direction. The instilled fear is not removed by rational means, persuasion and other methods.

Health suggestion

Health suggestion refers to the type of healing suggestion that is carried out during the patient's illness. Such sessions of suggestion can be performed in a state of relaxation, light trance, or under hypnosis. With autosuggestion, you can and should also apply settings to improve your health.

There are many cases when complex somatic ailments disappeared only thanks to the sessions of suggestion or self-hypnosis.

Experts recommend conducting self-hypnosis sessions aimed at improving health immediately after waking up or before falling asleep. The fact is that at these moments the line between consciousness and the unconscious is erased, a person finds himself in a so-called subsonic state. In this state, access to the unconscious is facilitated, which is easier for assimilating commands to restore health and healing.

Suggestion to lose weight

Since the subconscious mind is good at accepting commands or images when the control of the cerebral cortex is turned off, suggestion methods can be used for weight loss sessions.

To do this, the suggestor conducting the session must use verbal commands that encourage the client's psyche to stimulate the processes of burning fat in the body. Very good results are achieved through suggestion in a state of hypnosis. It is also good to use images and verbal commands in self-hypnosis sessions.

The suggestion to lose weight is used to restore the optimal state of the psyche and metabolism; the lost skills of self-regulation of the protective functions of the body are restored.

Self-confidence instillation

Self-confidence is a feeling of one's own inner strength, righteousness, supported by a calm state of the psyche, in which a person feels comfortable in any situation.

There are several ways to create a state of self-confidence:

1. You need to play self-confidence, direct the body's activity to copy confident behavior.
2. You should use affirmations or self-hypnosis phrases that should be used in situations of stress or loss of confidence.
3. To resort to self-hypnosis and relaxation sessions, while using images of success and self-hypnosis phrases aimed at strengthening the psyche.

The instillation of self-confidence can also occur in psychotherapeutic sessions through trance or hypnotic influence.

Suggestion training

Teaching suggestion begins with the ability to establish contact or rapport with a person. These skills are well practiced in a psychological course called neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Learning to enter the client into a state of light trance and the effective use of speech structures and special commands takes place at trainings and seminars on Ericksonian hypnosis.

The training of hypnotic suggestion can be taken on special training courses on hypnosis, but for this you need to have a medical education that allows you to use hypnotic effects for therapeutic and psychotherapeutic purposes.

Protection from suggestion

Protection from suggestion is a necessary skill, not only in a critical situation, but also in everyday communication.

To protect yourself from suggestion, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Always keep your communication goals in mind and get the conversation back on track.
2. In a conversation, it is more common to change the posture, the rate of speech, the timbre of the voice and intonation, the rhythm and frequency of breathing to gesture in a different way.
3. Do not look into the eyes of the interlocutor, do not follow the things that he manipulates. It is best to focus on an object that you have chosen yourself, or move your gaze from object to object.
4. Go into an internal trance - plunge into some memories, reflections, imagine any events.
5. Include an internal monologue: start mentally saying a prayer, reading a poem, singing a song.
6. If you cannot get out of the suggestive influence, it is best to break contact immediately and leave the meeting place.

How to resist suggestion?

There are rules of conduct for those people who are concerned about the problem of how not to succumb to suggestion:

1. One should avoid communicating with suspicious strangers, gypsies, beggars, and so on.
2. Do not accept information from strangers without critical reflection, no matter how frightening or attractive it may be. Any information received should be questioned.
3. Do not look into the eyes of unfamiliar interlocutors and avoid touching your body.
4. It is necessary to learn to refuse, to say “no”. Each person is free in his actions, and no one is obliged to help someone, enter someone's position, know the answers to all questions, fulfill rash promises or communicate with someone.
5. You should never make quick decisions under pressure from outside.
6. No need to tell strangers any confidential information about yourself, "open your soul" to strangers.
7. It is necessary to engage in autogenous training in order to resist extraneous influences in a critical situation.
8. Sunglasses, listening to the player, and a simple rush are good ways to ward off suggestion.
9. In critical situations, it is necessary to maintain calmness and composure, to avoid emotional reactions to different circumstances.
10. Collective suggestion has a greater effect than individual suggestion. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid mass gatherings in which there is a possibility of becoming an object of influence.

Suggestion is a serious tool of psychological influence on a person. And therefore, when using it, you need to be professional and very careful. Because with the help of suggestion, you can both harm a person and heal him.

Remote suggestion I have been practicing for a very long time. In this article I will tell you how it all started and how I learned what I can now.

Train suggestion at a distance I was probably sixteen years old. It all started with a movie. Now I don’t remember the name and even the plot of the film, but there was one scene there that “hooked” me.

“A guy, passing by a beautiful girl, admired her and stumbled. The girl laughed. They struck up a conversation, and she said that he did not stumble by accident. And that, supposedly, she "made" him stumble ... mentally! He certainly didn't believe it. And then the girl suggested conducting an experiment. The guy had to walk by again, trying not to stumble. He took a few confident steps, and ... stumbled, as promised. As far as I remember, they repeated this experiment several times, but the result was always the same - the guy stumbled. In the end, he believed that the girl really did it and asked her to tell how she did it. She said she was just imagining a rope stretched a few centimeters from the ground. And as soon as the foot touches the imaginary rope, he stumbles (already completely for real). "

Probably everyone in childhood played games based on the movie they liked. We all became Indians, knights, rangers, kings, princesses, and so on. So I imagined that I, too (like that girl from the movie) can inspire at a distance... It was already late evening, it was time to go to bed. Before falling asleep, I dreamed a little about it. Imagined how great it would be to be able to inspire thoughts at a distance... And he firmly decided to try it in the morning (in the film, the girl said that everyone can learn suggestion from a distance).

Right in the morning, without even having breakfast, I went to the park. He sat down on a bench, picked up a book (if I just sat and "stared" at people it would be suspicious) and began to experiment with by suggestion at a distance.

I did everything as it was said in the film, i.e. tried to imagine that a rope was stretched on the way of a walking man. At first it didn't work out very well, but from the tenth time I managed to clearly imagine a thick rope, almost a rope. I even started to be proud of myself. The rope turned out really well! Those. I didn’t just imagine it, I saw it (I think this is called a positive hallucination). I saw the villi on it, how it bends slightly under its own weight. Imagined how she felt. But, unfortunately, he could not keep this image for a long time. At the most crucial moment, when a person approached an imaginary rope, it “melted” and disappeared.

In general, I did not even hope that the suggestion at a distance would work on the very first day, so I decided that it was enough for today and went home.

In the park, to continue experiments with suggestion at a distance, I did not go for about five or six days. During this time, I perfectly learned to represent in detail and hold the images in my mind for quite a long time (up to 10 minutes). I trained at any free moment (at home, on public transport, on the way to the store, and so on). I visualized everything that came to hand (orange, pen, lighter, wallet, etc.).

Spinning into the park, I again sat down with a book on the bench and began to inspire. I used to imagine a thick rope, fixed the image. A man was walking. There was no time to look at it, because it was necessary to concentrate on the rope. I tried my best to make it more real and ... it melted away.

"What is the mistake?" I thought. And after several unsuccessful experiments, I found out that the rope disappears when you strain and try to "hold the image" as if with effort. This is really a mistake; on the contrary, you need to relax.

The next time I presented the rope in every detail, and when the image was formed, I relaxed. The image has not disappeared! Moreover, the imaginary rope began to "live its own life." She swayed so naturally in the wind that for a moment I believed that she was real.

At that moment, passing through the rope, a woman stumbled. My joy knew no bounds, I almost jumped up shouting "Hurray!", But, thank God, I restrained myself in time. In my heart I had mixed feelings: I really wanted to believe that it was my "merit", but at the same time, an inner voice said that it could be just an accident.

I repeated. Now a guy (about my age) stumbled. I almost had no doubts - this is not an accident, I do it! Remote suggestion is not a myth, it really exists.

After sitting on the bench for about an hour, I managed to "stumble" seven more people. It all looked very comical, but I did not laugh. I was quietly rejoicing!

Now I can say with confidence that remote suggestion exists, and everyone can learn it! You just need to really want and practice a little (or a lot). Someone will succeed immediately, someone in a week, someone in a month. But it will definitely work!

The suggestion of one's own thoughts to another person at a distance has long worried humanity.

Everyone would like to be able to inspire a loved one correct life attitudes.

Is it possible?

How to surprise your beloved man from a distance? you will find on our website.

What it is?

The transmission of thoughts at a distance has a well-known name in psychology - telepathy.

Using this technique, you can exchange with another person not only thoughts, but also feelings, emotions, desires, you can even make some settings.

The exchange of information can be reciprocal, that is, the telepath is able to receive other people's thoughts at a distance. This often happens without the participation of the receiver's consciousness.

Telepathy is an object of close study of specialists all over the world. There is already some evidence of how you can learn how to transmit thoughts and discover telepathic abilities in yourself.

Is telepathic communication possible?

The dense fascination with telepathy began yet in the middle of the nineteenth century... Then magic salons began to open en masse, and magicians who appeared out of nowhere began their march across the country.

In the first half of the twentieth century, scientists became interested in telepathy for the first time. The Rhine couple from America conducted an experiment that did not ultimately prove the existence of telepathy, but initiated serious research on this phenomenon.

During the last decade of the twentieth century, Edinburgh scholars concluded that transmitting or receiving thoughts at a distance are possible only during an altered mental state. A person is in such borderline states, for example, before bedtime or during a bright outburst of anger.

To date, world scientists have already carried out a large number of experiments that have led to some conclusions.

It turned out that most often people have the opportunity to exchange thoughts, in close emotional contact.

Russian academician Kobzarev Yu.B. explained the phenomenon of telepathy in his own way. He claims that during the appearance of thought, charged particles are launched into space, which were given the name "psychons". Psychones accumulate in clots that are caught by people with a family or emotional connection.

But most of all, you can influence close people at a distance, since there is always an invisible connection with relatives. This is even expressed in how a person feels when a trouble has happened to a loved one. And for this, access to the astral plane is not necessary.
