Autosuggestion

A method whereby one might be able to start into activity the subconscious faculties of the mind and also direct them into certain particular channels.

An understanding of the laws of suggestion in its phase of autosuggestion will enable anyone to avail himself of the activities of the brownies, as Stevenson so happily styles the subconscious workings of the mind, which, God bless them.

Who do one half of my work for me when I am fast asleep? In the volume of this series, entitled, Suggestion and Autosuggestion, we have explained in detail the processes and methods which may be employed with success in the direction of turning to practical account these wonderful activities of the subconscious mind, instead of merely regarding them as curious phenomena of psychology.

We cannot attempt to enter into this phase of the subject in this work, owing to the extent of its particular field, and as, moreover, to do so would be merely to repeat what we have said in the volume to which we have alluded.

We have thought it proper, however, to mention the matter here, that those who are not familiar with the subject may be directed to a source from which they may receive practical instruction along these important lines.

In suggestion and autosuggestion, the new psychology furnishes one with the secret of the mastery of habit.

While it is true that habit masters the individual, it is likewise true that the individual may create his own habits, may establish desirable habits, and neutralize and inhibit undesirable ones.

Autosuggestion, properly used in a scientific manner, renders the individual the master in the end.
