Hypnosis Suggestions Daily Info

The following summary is offered for consideration:

1. Many bodily functions, ordinarily controlledby the autonomic nervous system, become stimulated or inhibited under the influence of suggestion and, particularly, of hypnosis.
2. The bodily mechanism underlying the diseaseof hysteria as well as some of the successful practices of faith-healers, Christian Scientists, and psychoanalysts is identical with that of all suggestion: it is rooted in the autonomic nervous system.
3. Bringing the psychological and the physiological aspects together, we can define the hypnotic state as a prestige-and-faith relationship in which the practician uses his advantageous position to influence by suggestion the subject's autonomic nervous system, in order to effect desired bodily inhibitions and excitations and to condition his mind.
4. All hypnotic practice is remarkably safe, at least in the hands of an experienced, intelligent and honest practician.
5. The young science of hypnotism calls for numerous experiments, as specified techniques are sadly lacking to deal with the great variety of medical, psychological and educational cases.
6. The scientific study of hypnotic phenomena is, indeed, in an early stage, but its future is bright and promising.
