The document discusses the power of autosuggestion and how to use it consciously. It explains that there are two selves - the conscious and unconscious self. The unconscious self has a marvelous memory and accepts suggestions docility. When the will and imagination are in conflict, the imagination always wins. However, when they are in agreement, their powers are multiplied. The document provides examples of using conscious autosuggestion through directing attention, desire, meditation, sound, and spirituality to influence the subconscious mind and produce desired outcomes. Regular autosuggestion can change beliefs and habits recorded in the subconscious.

- 2. OVERVIEW Suggestion Will SELF Imagination Autosuggestion
- 3. AUTOSUGGESTION Autosuggestion is an instrument that we possess at birth. In this force, resides a marvelous and incalculable power. Knowledge of this force is useful to each one of us, but it is peculiarly indispensable- to doctors, magistrates, lawyers, and to those engaged in the work of education. By knowing how to practise it consciously it is possible to guide into the right path those who had a tendency to take the wrong one.
- 6. WILL AND IMAGINATION “I could not help it, something impelled me, it was stronger than I.” “Will” is defined as “The faculty of freely determining certain acts”. This „will‟ that we claim so proudly, always yields the imagination. Notice that your will is „powerless‟ to make you advance; if you imagine that you cannot, it‟s absolutely impossible for you to do so. Vertigo is entirely caused by the picture we make in our minds that we are going to fall. This picture transforms itself immediately into fact in spite of all the efforts of our will, and the more violent these efforts are, the quicker is the opposite to the desired result brought about. In each of these conflicts it is always the imagination which gains the victory over the will, without any exception. „Are we free to act as we like?‟We only cease to be puppets when we have learned to guide our imagination.
- 7. SUGGESTION AND AUTOSUGGESTION Suggestion may be defined as “the act of imposing an idea on the brain of another” Suggestion does not indeed exist by itself except on the sine qua non condition of transforming itself into autosuggestion in the subject. This latter word may be defined as “the implanting of an idea in oneself by oneself.” You may make a suggestion to someone; if the unconscious of the latter does not accept the suggestion, if it has not, as it were, digested it, in order to transform it into autosuggestion, it produces no result. „Do we make suggestions or autosuggestions?‟ Autosuggestion can be defined as, the influence of the imagination upon the moral and physical being of mankind. The process by which a person induces self-acceptance of an opinion, belief, or plan of action
- 8. THE CONSCIOUS SELF AND THE UNCONSCIOUS SELF Two absolutely distinct selves exist within us. Both are intelligent, but while one is conscious the other is unconscious. For this reason the existence of the latter generally escapes notice. Conscious Unconscious ♦Somnambulist Possessed of a very unreliable Marvelous and impeccable memory ♦Drunkard memory Registers without our knowledge the smallest events Accepts with unreasoning docility what it is told
- 9. WILL, IMAGINATION, AUTOSUGGESTION, SUBCONSCIOUS ♦When the will and the imagination are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception. ♦In the conflict between the will and the imagination, the force of the imagination is in direct ratio to the square of the will. ♦When the will and the imagination are in agreement, one does not add to the other, but one is multiplied by the other. ♦The imagination can be directed
- 10. SUBCONCIOUS The subconscious mind controls all the natural functions of the body, all the involuntary actions, and all those actions of mind and body that continue their natural movements without direction from the will. It perpetuates characteristics, traits, and qualities that are peculiar to individuals, species and races. What is called heredity therefore is altogether a subconscious process. The same is true of what is called second nature. Whenever anything has been repeated a sufficient number of times to have become habitual, it becomes second nature, or rather a subconscious action. Conscious action may become a subconscious action without repetition, and thus becomes second nature almost at once. It submits readily to almost any kind of training, and will do practically anything that it is directed to do, whether the thing is to our advantage or not.
- 11. SUBCONCIOUS Concerning the general possibilities of the subconscious, we should remember that every faculty has a subconscious side, and that it becomes larger and more competent as this subconscious side is developed. Every cell in the body has a subconscious side, and therefore, if the subconscious side of the personality were developed, we can realize what improvement would become possible in that field. People fail to improve along any line is because their desires or efforts for improvement are not sufficiently deep and strong to become unconscious processes.
- 12. USE OF AUTOSUGGESTION CONSCIOUS AUTOSUGGESTIONS Whereas we constantly give ourselves unconscious autosuggestions, all we have to do is to give ourselves conscious ones
- 13. USE OF AUTOSUGGESTION CONSCIOUS AUTOSUGGESTIONS DIRECTING ATTENTION Give attention to the way we feel. The way we feel determines largely what our finer forces are to be and how they are to act We need to train ourselves to feel the way we want by directing our attention to something desirable. We got to have full control over our feelings that we can always feel the way we want to feel, no matter what the circumstances may be. This is possible because all the finer forces are controlled by feeling.
- 14. USE OF AUTOSUGGESTION CONSCIOUS AUTOSUGGESTIONS DESIRE & IDEA Your ability, your capacity to concentrate, burning obsession. Be of positive autosuggestion Emotions, feel your desire Within the realms of reality Focus on your imaginative power; do not let your will impose its own view on positive ideas.
- 15. USE OF AUTOSUGGESTION CONSCIOUS AUTOSUGGESTIONS MEDITATION "Essentially when you spend a lot of time meditating, the brain shows a pattern of feeling safe in the world and more comfortable in approaching people and situations, and less vigilant and afraid, which is more associated with the right hemisphere," Prof. Jon Kabat-Zinn SOUND/ MUSIC The deeper you explore the mysteries of life, the more you will find that its whole secret is hidden in words Sound allows us to merge with our soul, our limitless supply of energy and healing, and our totality. By working with music you can easily tap into the pure and unmatched subconscious power of sound and establish a direct connection with your soul.
- 16. USE OF AUTOSUGGESTION CONSCIOUS AUTOSUGGESTIONS SPIRITUALITY ♦It is not what we consciously want to happen in our life that does happen--it is what we believe to be TRUE of ourselves and others deep in our subconscious mind. ♦Whatever we believe to be true deep in our heart, we unknowingly pray for „unguarded moments‟ ♦What we believe to be true of others, we also believe to be true of ourselves. ♦Emotionally charged statement, forceful statement, categorical pronouncement, fused with a strong feeling lead to „forceful statement, a categorical pronouncement, fused with a strong feeling often lead to „self-fulfilled prophesy‟. •Inferiority complexes •Ailment
- 17. Master SELF ♦Through regular autosuggestion, you can change any belief recorded in your subconscious mind, which in turn will change the external condition. ♦Unlearn past imperfect subconscious training ♦Do not allow will and the imagination to be antagonistic ♦What we hear, see, think, and learn can become second nature ♦Unconscious processes need deep felt desire ♦Give good autosuggestions at any point of contact
