Suggestion, or rather Autosuggestion, is quite a new subject, and yet at the same time it is as old as the world.
It is new in the sense that until now it has been wrongly studied and in consequence wrongly understood; it is old because it dates from the appearance of man on the earth. In fact autosuggestion is an instrument that we possess at birth, and in this instrument, or rather in this force, resides a marvelous and incalculable power, which according to circumstances produces the best or the worst results. Knowledge of this force is useful to each one of us, but it is peculiarly indispensable to doctors, magistrates, lawyers, and to those engaged in the work of education.
By knowing how to practise it _consciously_ it is possible in the first place to avoid provoking in others bad autosuggestions which may have disastrous consequences, and secondly, consciously to provoke good ones instead, thus bringing physical health to the sick, and moral health to the neurotic and the erring, the unconscious victims of anterior autosuggestions, and to guide into the right path those who had a tendency to take the wrong one.
What Readers Of "Autosuggestion" by Dr. Emile Coue Have Said
Jyriii said:
.
Autosuggestion is real. If you repeat something to yourself often enough, you will come to believe it even if it is not true. These repeated affirmations will eventually break through the protective walls of your conscious mind to program your subconscious, and once that happens there will be no stopping it. Autosuggestion works for good as well as for ill. Just as constantly repeated affirmations can make you ill or brainwash you, so can constantly repeated affirmations make you well again. Emile Coue is the pioneer in autosuggestion, and his book is still the best.Read the original review on Amazon
