The Power of Suggestion

Dr. David Seabury taught me Phineas Parkhurst Quimby’s techniques of healing many years ago. He also told me an interesting story about an experiment he and his friends had conducted on a young man, a ne’er-do-well who lived in their little town in Northern California.

Does Visualization Really Enhance Performance?

This time what you're going to do is you're going to shoot darts with your non-preferred hand. so in that case it's your left hand. We're actually tracking where your gaze is looking as you fixate on the board and target where you're going to shoot the dart. your aim, hit the bullseye as often as possible. and we're going to measure how far from the bullseye you are on each throw and then you're going to go away and do some visualization, come back and we'll expect to see a nice increase in performance.

The visualization test results appear on the screen. Accuracy: 27 percent, eye-tracking ability: 31 percent and arm muscles efficiency: 33 percent.

The Swish Pattern

1. The swish pattern is a rapid way to change any troublesome habit or other unwanted response, so it has a very wide range of applications. The swish was developed by Richard Bandler in the early 1980’s, and was first published in Using Your Brain for a Change (chapter 9) in 1985, over 30 years ago.

What’s next?

Gestalt was a part of the zeitgeist of the 1960’s that advocated paying attention in the here and now, which has been part of a number of very old spiritual traditions, and has been reincarnated recently in a secular form as “mindfulness.”

Glimpses . . .

There are two notable emancipations of the mind from the tyranny of mere appearances that have received scant attention save from mathematicians and theoretical physicists.

In 1823 Bolyai declared with regard to Euclid's so-called axiom of parallels, "I will draw two lines through a given point, both of which will be parallel to a given line." The drawing of these lines led to the concept of the curvature of space, and this to the idea of higher space.

The recently developed Theory of Relativity has compelled the revision of the time concept as used in classical physics. One result of this has been to introduce the notion of curved time.

These two ideas, of curved time and higher space, by their very nature are bound to profoundly modify human thought. They loosen the bonds within which advancing knowledge has increasingly labored, they lighten the dark abysses of consciousness, they reconcile the discoveries of Western workers with the inspirations of Eastern dreamers; but best of all, they open vistas, they offer "glimpses that may make us less forlorn."

Sezito Myself

Success, implanted in the mind by his power of Auto-Suggestion is worth more than a fortune to any man. In this way we should, by a steady habit of Auto-Suggestion, fix in the Subjective Mind the strongest possible faith in our own ability. Dr. Quackenbos of Columbia University has accomplished seemingly miraculous results in developing great ability in music and art in boys and girls in a few months by Suggestion, which would ordinarily have taken years of training, and which ability might never have manifested under any length of training but for the strange power which Suggestion has of calling out the latent powers of the soul.

Master Mesmerist.

Du Potet was a highly successful mesmerist. from 1837 to 1845 practiced as a homeopathic physician in London,[1] where he successfully treated epileptic girls at the North London Hospital[2] and according to a letter to the editor of The Lancet his experiments became the talk of the town.[7]

U-procedure and Theory U

THE RELIGIOUS VALUE OF HYPNOSIS

It will seem strange to many that there can be any connection between hypnotism and religion, for hypnotism is regarded in so many quarters as suspect. Men still shrink from it as from one of the black arts. This is not to be wondered at when one knows its history. It has been exploited and misused by the magic-mongerer and the organizer of crude exhibitions in village market-places and the like, until it has come to be regarded almost as an unholy thing. This attitude to it has been the more readily taken because the subject is so little understood. One of the tasks of modern psychology will be to rescue the practice of hypnotism from this degrading position and show it to be, in skilled hands, a normal way of making an examination of the unconscious mind, and of suggesting to that mind ideas which afterwards will be realized by the personality to the great benefit of the latter. As one patient said to a psychologist, 'when I came I thought I was going to be doped. . . . Now I know that I have lived for years in a cellar, and that you have lifted me out and liberated what was in me.'

The sine qua non of hypnotism.

Hugo Münsterberg ( 1863 – 1916 ) was a German-American psychologist. He was one of the pioneers in applied psychology, extending his research and theories to Industrial/Organizational (I/O), legal, medical, clinical, educational and business settings.

The Golden Rule

April GIF Gift

Reframing from reframing? Unlikely.

 “Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience and written words are the symbols of spoken words. Just as all men have not the same writing, so all men have not the same speech sounds, but the mental experiences, which these directly symbolize, are the same for all, as also are those things of which our experiences are the images.” ~ Aristotle

Words can both reflect and shape mental processes.
