Book description
All of us like to think that our actions and reactions are a result of
logical thought processes, but the fact is that suggestion influences
our thinking a great deal more than logic. Consciously or unconsciously,
our feelings about almost everything are largely molded by ready-made
opinions and attitudes fostered by our mass methods of communication.
Self-hypnosis is a highly suggestible state wherein the individual
can direct suggestions to himself. It is a powerful tool in any
therapeutic process, and highly motivated subjects can parallel the
success of hetero-hypnosis through their own efforts. Self-hypnosis
can be used as a palliative agent and can even afford lasting results
in many areas of the organism. Self-hypnosis can alleviate distressing
symptoms, substitute strong responses for weak responses, help
overcome bad habits, create good habits and help one's power of
concentration. The total personality is eventually changed to the
point where it can function adequately in an increasingly difficult
environment.
In learning self-hypnosis, the subject does not relinquish control
of himself as is commonly believed. Actually, more control is gained.
Self-sufficiency and self-confidence are inevitable results.
