The Subconscious Mind and the Sixth Sense

Chapter 13 Meeting the mysterious "subconscious mind" (3)
According to his own reference system, the general manager carefully considers the three proposals, and finally chooses a plan, or extracts reasonable things from the three, forms a new decision, and then puts it into action.

When we use some methods to internalize ideas into the other party's subconscious mind and affect his actions, this is subconscious control.For example, if the aunt who sells pancakes asks you: "Do you want one with one egg or two?" You will be easily controlled by her words, and you will forget that there is another option, which is not to put eggs.

Autosuggestion is a technique by which people voluntarily influence their subconscious mind.If a person can let the dominant idea stay in the mind, the content of self-suggestion will be continuously transmitted to the subconscious mind and have an impact on the subconscious mind.

When a navy captain went out to sea for the first time, he encountered rare strong winds and waves. Most of the crew members vomited because of the strong winds and waves. He was also prone to seasickness, but at that time he was responsible, and he kept telling himself: " Don’t get seasick, definitely don’t get seasick.” As a result, he really didn’t get seasick that time.

Before you go to meet a client, close your eyes for a few minutes and say to yourself: "I can do well, I can succeed." In this way, it is easy to stimulate the energy of the subconscious mind.

Suggestion plays an important role in the subconscious mind, so some people may think: "I want to be rich, is it possible for self-suggestion to help me?" Of course it can!As long as you can insist on self-suggestion every day, close your eyes before going to bed, relax as much as possible, and then say to yourself: "I want to make money, I want to make money." If you persist, you will surely succeed.

Maybe someone did it, but didn't become the ideal rich person.where is the problem?For this self-suggestion, on the one hand, I said to myself: "I will definitely make money, and I will be very rich." On the other hand, I doubted: "Can I become such a person? Impossible!"

Although this person used suggestion to stimulate his subconscious mind, he forgot one thing: the content of self-suggestion must first be firmly believed, that it is real, and he can do it without any effort.Only when there is a firm belief in the power of the subconscious mind can the power of the subconscious mind be brought into play.

Use your subconscious mind anytime, anywhere, and use autosuggestion to make your subconscious mind work.When you're tired, tell your subconscious: "I'm fine, I'm full of energy!" When you're angry, tell your subconscious: "There's no one happier than me in the world."

The role of suggestion affects people's emotions and will, and the bad suggestion information that appears in life can only be replaced by positive suggestion.Bad hints and negative hints can directly lead to failure.The correct approach is to give yourself hints of success every day.

Scientific research has shown that in addition to language, human beings can also use more than 70 signals to communicate with each other. What an amazing and proud thing.These "signals" outside of language are hints accepted by the subconscious mind.

A suggestion is a verbal or sensory cue that evokes a series of ideas or actions.Some psychologists believe that suggestion is an uncritical acceptance of cognitive functions.Direct conversations can produce associations of ideas and repeated hints, which can change people's psychology and physiology, and cause functional changes among various systems of the human body, which can develop in a good direction or in the opposite direction.

Therefore, self-suggestion can be divided into positive self-suggestion and negative self-suggestion.The nature of the event is different, and the effects are also in two extremes.If you want to achieve what you want, you must make full use of positive self-suggestion and stay away from negative self-suggestion.So, how can we arm ourselves with positive self-suggestion?First of all, we should understand the three laws of auto-suggestion: the law of repetition, the law of internal simulation and the law of substitution.

1.law of repetition

Some people call the law of repetition the golden key to develop potential. Repetition can make tedious things easier.Repetition can sharpen people's discernment, enhance the sixth sense, and make the subconscious work more precisely.Therefore, people who use this law will naturally achieve great success.The vast majority of advertisements use this law of repetition.Another example, "If you tell a lie too much, it will become a reality."A repeated lie, a repeated expression, and a repeated action will all become programs that are input into the subconscious in the long run.Therefore, if you want to develop good habits, you must master the law of repetition, that is, to constantly suggest yourself.

2.Internal Simulation Law
When a person is thinking about something in his heart, his expression will imitate involuntarily, which is called internal simulation.In real life, we always have the opportunity to visit the sick.When you don't have a good attitude, facing a patient who is struggling in pain, you often have no persuasive power to make the other party relax.And I will also be affected and become very wrong.When you are affected by his facial discomfort and physical pain, it is because you simulated it inside.

3.law of substitution

The subconscious mind has a characteristic: it can only dominate one feeling at a time.If we can repeatedly instill a positive thought into the subconscious mind, the original negative thought will slowly weaken, shrink, until it disappears, and then the new thought will prevail.

Just like the current medical field, for the treatment of cancer, some seemingly extreme methods are often adopted. In order to kill cancerous cells, other germs are often injected into the patient's body, allowing them to fight freely in the human body. When the latter wins At that time, the treatment won a decisive victory.

Since the subconscious mind is our inner audience, it must speak a language it understands.This kind of language must not contain negative words. If you say "I will not be afraid of...", negative statements will hardly completely change the subconscious mind-you may still feel a little scared.You have to replace it with another new and positive statement, such as, "I am a confident person, I am brave" and other affirmative statements, and invest all the emotions to produce better results.

In short, a person who desires to succeed must learn to use positive self-suggestion.Negative thoughts will trap you in failure behavior patterns, distort your life patterns, and make it harder for you to develop good habits.

Each of us has the ability to choose and desire to succeed. We should and must choose positive self-suggestion and maintain a positive attitude.

Self-Affirmation: Breaking Through the "Cage" of Negativity

[Accompanied by "positive self-suggestion", can a good life be far behind? 】

As mentioned earlier, there are negative and positive self-suggestions.Positive self-suggestion is self-affirmation. Daily affirmation exercises and positive descriptions of something will make the things we imagined lasting and firm; daily affirmation exercises will allow us to use positive ideas to change the past. attitudes and expectations of life.Self-affirmation can be done silently, spoken out loud, or written down on paper.It only takes a few minutes of effective practice each day to change the bad thinking habits that have followed us for years.

When we are constantly aware of what we are telling ourselves (positive concepts), over time, we can create a positive and optimistic reality of life.

The form of self-affirmation, which can take any positive description, is a contradiction—universal yet deeply specific.It touches every aspect of life.For example, we can say to ourselves: "I am the most beautiful... I am the best... In my professional field, I am the most authoritative..."

Nowadays, more and more people are using positive self-suggestion in their real life. Self-suggestion is consciously providing certain ideas to people’s subconscious mind, and using them as seeds, which are carefully cultivated repeatedly to make them take root and germinate. , Grow in the subconscious.

People who don't understand self-suggestion may laugh at it, thinking that self-suggestion is the instruction manual for "Ah Q spirit", and often sneer at it.If autosuggestion is viewed in this light, then autosuggestion will not have any positive effects.

People often say that they are the masters of their destiny.Why can people control their own destiny?Because people can convey orders to the mind through self-suggestion in the subconscious, and this order is what kind of person they will become.

Psychologists have done an experiment, from which we can see the important role of self-suggestion.

A prisoner who is about to be executed, the executioner said to him, we want to do an experiment, the way of death is bloodletting, this is the last meaningful thing you do to human beings.The experiments were carried out in a small room with the consent of the condemned prisoners.The condemned prisoner was lying on the bed in the room, with one hand stretched out of the window, leading to the large room next door, where the doctors and nurses were busy making final preparations.

During this period, the condemned prisoner heard the nurse ask the doctor: "Prepare five bottles for bloodletting, is it enough?"

The doctor replied: "This man is quite tall, so let's prepare seven."

After receiving the doctor's order, the nurse tapped the prisoner's wrist with the tip of a knife, and the bloodletting officially began. The prisoner's blood slowly flowed into the bottle, and the prisoners in the small room could only hear the sound of blood dripping into the bottle. Before the third bottle was filled, the prisoner was in shock. When the fifth bottle was filled, the prisoner died. The cause of death was "excessive blood loss."

In fact, he didn't even shed a bottle of blood, and the voice he heard was just an illusion, which told his subconscious mind: "You are bleeding dry, you are dying slowly." This experiment proved the power of self-suggestion .Negative self-suggestion will have a great negative impact on life, while positive self-suggestion will give people great energy and achieve unexpected success.

Roosevelt is one of the most outstanding presidents in American history. He was once called "the symbol of American courage" by Americans. From this honor, we can see how strong, brave and confident Roosevelt was.Who would have thought that Roosevelt's temperament was just the opposite when he was young.

When he was a child, Roosevelt was a timid, clumsy and sick child.At that time, Roosevelt was afraid of many things, he was nervous, he had no confidence in himself, and he always messed up many things.Later, Roosevelt read a novel written by the British writer Mariette.In this work, there are methods on how to overcome timidity and become confident.

Roosevelt believed that most people would be afraid before doing something, however, brave people are good at controlling themselves, let themselves show no fear, keep it, and the initial illusion becomes reality.Roosevelt initially let himself look brave, and later, he really became a warrior.

Today, to survive and succeed, we should be like Roosevelt.If you are not confident, you can start by pretending to be confident.This is the method of positive autosuggestion that we have been referring to over and over again.

Throughout the ages, sages, sages and scholars have repeatedly emphasized the importance of confidence, courage and willpower.However, only a very small number of people can overcome all difficulties and achieve success, and few people can accurately explain the methods of cultivating self-confidence and courage.

Gull was an ordinary pharmacist in the United States in the early 20th century. He was lucky enough to discover this magic weapon.One day, a sick person came to Gur's pharmacy to buy a prescription drug.Guer is just a pharmacist, so naturally he can't prescribe medicines for patients when the doctor is away. A medicine can cure his disease.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the patient came to the pharmacy again and thanked Gul for curing his illness.Vitamin tablets have no curative effect, so why did this patient get better?The most reasonable guess is that the patient's psychology should play a role in making the condition better.

From then on, Gull began to study psychology in his spare time.Gull found that God has given human beings a magic weapon - positive self-suggestion.In daily life, we often hint to ourselves, but because it is so natural, few people realize it.If it was a holiday, I planned to go out for an outing because I was very worried about the weather of the day.When you wake up in the morning, everyone must think: "It must not rain, or the plan will be ruined." This thought is self-suggestion.When it does rain, "This sucks, a good rest day is wasted like this, it's so boring." If you think this way, you may spend the rest of the day in boredom.It's better to give a psychological hint: "It's raining, but this is fine, you can stay at home with your family, and go on an outing another day!" When you look at the problem this way, then this rest day will definitely not be boring.

In fact, there are many examples of the power of autosuggestion to change thoughts and lead to actions.Negative thoughts inevitably lead to negative consequences.Conversely, positive thoughts produce positive results.We must pay attention to the role of self-suggestion, stay away from negative self-suggestion, and strive to break through the "cage" set by negative thoughts.Psychological suggestion has been widely concerned by people and widely used in real life.In history, there are many examples of psychological suggestion playing a role.

In 1915, Yuan Shikai was a little carried away because of a series of victories such as deceiving the revolutionary party to give up the virtuous, forcing the Qing royal family to abdicate, and conquering the world by force.Therefore, he dreamed of changing from the president of the Republic of China to the emperor of the empire.However, Yuan Shikai was not fully sure about becoming emperor, and often worried that once he became emperor, how long the dynasty would last, so he specially asked someone to do a divination, and the divination was not ideal.Yuan Shikai learned that once he ascended the throne, there would be "eighty-to-two".Yuan Shikai felt that it was unlikely that his dynasty existed for 820 years.However, it is entirely possible to exist for 82 years.As a result, Yuan Shikai's determination to become emperor greatly increased.

Yuan Shikai announced to change the "Republic of China" to the "Empire of China". Once this decision was made public, it was spurned and criticized by the people of the whole country. Yuan Shikai only served as Emperor Hongxian for 82 days.Yuan Shikai's family found the fortune teller and blamed him for harming the "big president".The fortune-teller replied unhurriedly: "It is indeed 82 days since the President proclaimed himself emperor. What is wrong with me?" The Yuan family was speechless.

In the modern history of China, Yuan Shikai was not an idler. Why did he do such a laughable thing?One of the reasons is "negative autosuggestion".

Yuan Shikai was born with high self-esteem. Although there was a period of ups and downs in his early years, he was promoted quickly after he made a fortune in middle age, which made him pretentious.The Revolution of 820 made him the president of the Republic of China from the prime minister of the Qing government.In Yuan Shikai's view, Chinese society needs an emperor to govern, and only he is worthy of being emperor at present, so the transition from "elected president" to "God Bless the Emperor" has become a historical necessity.Under the control of this self-suggestion, Yuan Shikai instinctively interpreted the "number of eighty-two" as 82 or 82 years.He never thought that the "Number of Eighty Two" might be just 82 days, or even [-] hours!

Cao Cao led the army to set off, but because he went the wrong way, he couldn't find the water source.The soldiers were hungry and thirsty. Seeing this situation, Cao Cao pointed his horsewhip forward and said, there is a large plum forest in front of him.When the soldiers thought of the sour taste of plums, they immediately felt sour saliva flowed out, and they didn't feel thirsty anymore.So the team continued to move forward and walked dozens of miles in one breath before finding the water source.This is the story of "Looking for plums to quench thirst".

Here, Cao Cao uses psychological suggestion to obtain the effect of quenching thirst, which belongs to the category of "his suggestion" in psychology.Although this does not belong to the category of self-suggestion, however, in the hot summer, when you feel thirsty, you can imagine that you can buy sour plum soup in front of you, which can also relieve your thirst. "Self-suggestion".

Why can verbal self-suggestion play a role in stabilizing emotions?This is because every piece of information in speech represents certain external things and life phenomena.For example, the word "sour plum" makes us think of sour plums that grow on trees.Eating sour plums will cause drooling, which is the instinct of all animals.This instinct is called the activity of the first signal system; while hearing and seeing "sour plums" can also drool, which is the activity of the second signal system unique to human beings.Self-suggestion with words is a scientific basis for affecting physiological functions.Self-suggestion is not limited to language, feeling, idea, imagination also have the same effect.

The role of self-suggestion is large and wide-ranging. When psychological suggestion is first carried out, the effect achieved is often not obvious.It takes a period of time for a person's psychological adjustment. Similarly, a certain amount of psychological restraint is required to bring mental activities into the track that one expects.Therefore, the effect obtained is also a process from inconspicuous to remarkable.As long as we persevere, firmly believe in the power of self-suggestion, and not be bound by negative thoughts, over time, self-suggestion will become a powerful assistant for people's psychological adjustment.
