Suggestion and autosuggestion

In such a case, the person making toys in the clutches of the devil, who began to control not only the actions of this man, but his thoughts and speech. "Possessed by the devil" people (it was often women suffering from hysteria), as a rule, do not tolerate the "holy" places, it begins to "pose" in the form of a cross or icons.

Usually such "obsessed" - sick people coming to the temple or church, fell to the ground in agony, their body begins to bend the arc (hysterical arc), they shouted blasphemy, spitting on icons on their lips appeared foam body shook from the convulsions, they mooing, meowing, croaked like frogs, and so on. d.

These "obvious" signs of possession and demon-possessed was enough to representatives of the "holy" Inquisition seized the unfortunate sick people and dragged them into the church dungeons, where the torture victim "admitted" in their relations with the devil, for which the laws of the "holy" church they He believes "cleansing" death in the fire.

In Europe in the Middle Ages were burned and tortured to 12 million. Neurotic people. That it were sick inspires people suffering from hysterical neurosis, confirmed signs of the disease, described in detail by witnesses and executioners of the Inquisition. It is interesting to note that the very "obsessed" under the influence of suggestion and auto-suggestion of the Church deeply believed that they really possessed by the devil.

One may ask what are these historical information? For now no one believes in the devil. But the laws of self-hypnosis and suggestion remains in force today. These days, many people are under the influence of suggestion and self-hypnosis are starting, for example, to believe that they had a cancer or a brain tumor, or they came myocardial infarction and so on. D.

These suspicious and susceptible (suggestible) people start to read medical books and magazines (intended for physicians), to listen to conversations and complaints really sick, or worse - to watch the suffering of relatives or neighbors in the ward, and they have brighter and more clearly appear "symptoms" serious or fatal illness.

In the most thorough examination of modern methods such people find no disease, the disease - not. This - the "disease of the imagination." Talking with a doctor they are not calm, because they are convinced that they are hiding the truth on humanitarian grounds. Such is the power of auto-suggestion. To help people, "obsessed with disease" can only therapy in the form of suggestion in the waking state, or even better in hypnosis since no medicines are not effective.

Here is an example.

Girl 23 years caring for her mother, who was dying of stomach cancer, and gradually by auto-suggestion it is "transferred" to all the symptoms observed in the mother. Shocked by the suffering of the mother, the daughter starts to clearly "feel" the same symptoms of the disease, she watched her mother.

She anxiously seek medical attention. Doctors examined her blood, gastric juice is carried out X-ray examination of the stomach and intestines. Of course, no evidence of "disease" is not found. But the "sick" physicians do not believe, "symptoms" of the disease disappear.

Assurances doctor, that no cancer it does not, the patient considered as a desire to appease the "hopeless" patients. Only after she took a long course of therapy, she was finally released from kantskrofobii (rakoboyazni).

In another case, auto-suggestion proved fatal.

In a foreign country is unemployed, wanting to pass "hare" in their homes, came to the railway station i.zabralsya an open carriage. Passers railway carriages closed the doors of the composition and soon he started. Six hours later a freight train arrived at the terminal station and began to sort cars.

When they opened the car, where he was unemployed and a stowaway, all frightened shied aside. The car turned out to be a frozen corpse of a man. It turned out that the man sat in the car fridge (refrigerator). It would seem that nothing unusual had happened, the man was a few hours at a temperature of -20 ° C and, of course, could not keep warm.

But it was not so easy. Wagon refrigerator was defective, and in fact was not a refrigerator. He drove for repair. Why frozen man? Apparently, after the man looked around and realized that by mistake got into the corral fridge, horrified, he panicked and he was under the influence of self-hypnosis began to feel "cold", his body was covered with "goose bumps," he began to shake He began to scream and run around the car, the feeling of self-hypnosis grew cold, numb it so as if the car was really cold, and died.

Examples showing the power of self-hypnosis, a lot. I confine myself to another. Academician Pavlov was presented a sick woman in connection with the problems her self-hypnosis "pregnancy".

This woman passionately wanted to have a baby, but pregnancy does not occur. And once this impressionable lady imagined that she was pregnant: she stopped Regulus became swollen breasts, increases the size of the stomach (due to deposition of subcutaneous fat) and so on. D.

Woman happily began to sew vests and prepare for motherhood. However, there was no pregnancy. According to medical statistics, foreign clinics and hospitals are filled by 20-25%, "sick", whose disease has arisen under the influence of self-hypnosis.

These nerve torturing people a range of treatments and research (swallowing probe, gastroscopy and sigmoidoscopy, X-ray and ECG, and so on. N.) Hoping to finally recognize their "terrible" disease. These people are not malingerers, they spend the last savings on treatment and medicines that are very expensive, writing wills, afraid of loved ones, give orders, where they were buried, and so on. D.

Suggestion and autosuggestion

Such patients can help a skilled therapy (hypnosis, suggestion, auditory training). It is now established that suggestion does not only act on the nervous response, but also in vegetative (vegetable) functions. So, with the help of suggestion in hypnosis managed to change the diameter of the small vessels, and bronchi - bronchioles, affect blood clotting (stopping bleeding) on ​​the menstrual cycle in women and the allocation of the mammary glands.

Suggestion, you can shoot the feeling of pain. To prove the dermal-trophic effects on volunteers (volunteers) were carried out interesting studies. Thus, instilling in hypnosis the person that his arm is attached hot metal (inculcated, "I was burned you!"), Called on-site cold object touches not only erythema (redness), Noah blister of imaginary burns.

In another case, the subject is in a state of hypnosis, as a result of suggestion: "You are forty degrees cold without a hat!" - Froze the tips of the ears. According to academician Bekhterev, suggestion, self-hypnosis and vzaimovnushenie play a huge role (not always taken into account), and in everyday life, accompanying us from childhood to old age.

Suggestion we educate children, teens instill a love of work, neatness and other skills, or conversely, bad habits (smoking, alcohol). Even fashion obeys the laws of suggestion and vzaimovnusheniya. Abroad, on the basis of suggestions to create an advertisement.

The Church in the West and the US extensively and skillfully uses suggestion to strengthen his shaky position. Movies, television, radio, print religious - all used to strengthen the faith of parishioners. And this giant machine of suggestion does not work in vain.

At present, on the basis of technical developments suggestion received a new revelation in the work of Professor AM Svyadosch, who believes that the treatment of suggestion can be regarded as a method of treatment of information. Suggestion, with his position - is the introduction of information received by the patient without critical assessment and an impact on neuro-psychological processes. It is impossible in the absence of the semantic content of the information entered.

However, not all information has an inspiring effect. As a result, research scientists has been proved that in the brains of humans and animals are processes probabilistic forecasting. Observations on the phenomena of suggestion and the placebo effect (instead of drugs - indifferent powder) have led to the conclusion that in this case take place in the brain and the processes of verification of information, ie. E. To determine its authenticity.

Most of the incoming information is subject to automatic unconscious assessment of its reliability and relevance. Through this body, without downloading consciousness, shielded from the inadequate response to the signals that are not relevant thereto, or are false or the insignificant information.

Feature suggestion lies in the fact that in addition to the basic information that defines the content of suggestion, has introduced extra - Verification (certifying) the information lends credence to the basic information.

For example, the patient said: "Hand does not hurt," In another case, inspire it in a different key, "Hand does not hurt!" In the second case, the added information are the voice, intonation, facial expressions, the authority of the doctor.

If this additional information is not, then the effect of suggestion come. A. Svyadosch recorded on the studio tape the same phrase, uttered by the same person, and the usual tone of voice suggestion, and subjected to spectral analysis of recorded speech via intonografa and electronic computer.

In this way, we managed to get a digital physical characteristics that distinguish it from the narrative inspiring and reveal some features of verification information. It turned out, the more confident tone says the man, the greater its effect has verified it.

In these experiments, the phenomenon of conformism, t. E. The imposition of manifestly false opinion of a group of persons to one of the members of the group disappeared when at least two or three people from the group expressed that view uncertain tone. Misleading verification of information is the basis of the placebo effect and indirect suggestion, in which the patient attributes to the therapeutic effect of drugs that it really is not.

Near the time when scientists and doctors will be more fully control the power of verbal suggestion, especially in hypnosis, not only for treatment but also for many other purposes: in education and pedagogy; in sports, deep space missions, to eliminate feelings of loneliness and rhythm disorders of sleep and wakefulness.

After all, there is no suggestion distance: You can inspire and mesmerize by means of communication (radio, television). It is difficult to foresee the possibility of suggestion in the future.
