Amazing transformations occurring exclusively due to suggestion and self-hypnosis do not give rest to scientists
The first part is here
In the first part, you learned that your own imagination can acquire real power. In what the famous Russian doctors Botkin and Bekhterev were sure. And the experiments conducted by American psychotherapists and hypnologists seem to convince: the power of thought can increase both male dignity and female breasts.
Careless thoughts
Scientists, however, warn: be careful with suggestion - both to yourself and to others. In order not to harm.
Literature gives us examples of sick imagination. But doctors assure that this can happen in life. So, Nikolai Gogol in "Old World Landowners" told a story about Pulcheria Ivanovna, who, being a deeply superstitious person, believed in the nearness of her death, began to prepare for her, stopped eating and soon faded away.
Agatha Christie in the story "House in the Countryside" tells the story of a girl named Ellis, who "poisoned" her husband with words. She informed him that poison was added to the coffee he had just drunk. The husband, believing in this, immediately gave his soul to God, although the drink contained nothing but sugar.
The history of medicine knows about a man who "froze" when he was accidentally locked in a refrigerator car, although he did not work. The tragedy would not have happened if a person had inspired himself: “I have the strength to warm myself. I will be warm if I work with muscles, exercise. I will be able to let people know about myself."
This is what happened to the savages on the island of Java. A crime was committed in one settlement. To identify the culprit, a sorcerer was called. He gave all the suspects a "witchcraft" liquid - a rather poisonous, but non-lethal potion. Everyone drank boldly, being absolutely sure that the poison would not affect the innocent. And the perpetrator of the crime immediately fell into despair. He had already believed (hence, inspired himself) that his position was hopeless. In the body, he underwent drastic changes - the vegetative functions were disrupted. And after a while he passed away. Both the guilty and the innocent were affected by the power of self-hypnosis.
Snake in a glass
One day a certain man was invited to a friend's house. When he was about to drink the offered glass of wine, it seemed to him that a snake was visible at the bottom. Not wanting to offend the host with his suspicions, the guest drank. And when I returned home, I felt terrible pains in my stomach. Many medicines have been tried. But all was in vain, and the man, now seriously ill, felt that he was dying. His friend, having learned about the "cause" of the disease, once again called him to his house. Having made the man sit down in the same place, he again offered him a glass of wine, saying that there was medicine in it. When the sufferer raised his glass, he again saw the snake. This time he drew the owner's attention to it. Without a word, he pointed to the ceiling above the guest's head, where hung a stocking twisted with sausage stuffed with heads of garlic. The patient immediately realized that the "snake" was only a reflection. Friends burst out laughingand the "disease" immediately receded.
Experts are sure that the time is not far off when the power of verbal suggestion and self-hypnosis will be used not only for treatment, but also in education, and in the organization of personal life, and even in long-distance space flights. The possibilities of brain programming in the future are hard to imagine.
TIP "KP"
20 knots will change life

The famous French scientist Emile KUE has developed a method of conscious self-hypnosis, which allows you to supplant painful negative ideas and replace them with positive ones. In his opinion, each of us can correct a lot: turn grumpiness into peacefulness and good nature, stinginess into generosity and breadth of soul.
The main formula of Emile Couet is: "Every day, in all respects, I am getting better and better." The formula must be repeated at least 20 times. In order not to distract attention to counting when repeating a phrase 20 times, Coue recommends using a cord with twenty knots or a rosary.
COMMENTS OF SPECIALISTS
Doctor of Medical and Psychological Sciences Vladimir LEVI: "Smile in the mirror"
- We constantly use self-hypnosis. In the morning we get up, have breakfast, and get ready to go to work. We examine ourselves in front of the mirror, straighten our hair, collar, not suspecting that we are making self-hypnosis. Having remained satisfied with our appearance, we feel cheerfulness, excess energy and boldly go to work, being absolutely sure that we will cope with the assigned task. And if a person saw himself in the mirror, as it seemed to him, unhealthy? Immediately lost heart.

“Some people believe that they can fight cancer by imagining how healthy cells, like little warriors, destroy cancer cells one after another. However, the likelihood that such visualization will lead to recovery is close to zero. The time spent meditating may be wasted for medical intervention.
