Stage II
Autosuggestion or secret SUBCONSCIOUS

Subconscious operates most effectively at night when a person is asleep. In sleep normal consciousness is disabled, and the activity is prevalent subconscious. Therefore, the most convenient for perception suggestive formula is the time before going to sleep when tired man was preparing for bed, or immediately upon waking, before he finally woke up. This does not mean, of course, that other time for autosuggestion, but these two points in time are considered to be most suitable for such a perception.

Therefore, the magician will never sleep with thoughts of sorrow, worry, depression, it will not weigh down the subconscious mind such thoughts, because the subconscious mind continues to function in the direction of thinking, to go to sleep. Note again that the need to fill a peaceful, harmonious thoughts or the thoughts of success, health and peace.

Before you decide on the practical application of autosuggestion, make your little thread with wooden or glass beads (at about 30-40). If you find it difficult to get such beads, it will be quite a rope on which you need to do 30-40 knots, and simple improvised means for autosuggestion ready. It is, in fact, to the repetition of autosuggestion formula was not considered necessary, and not be distracted by the expense, not to distracting. This aid can also serve to determine how many violations came during exercise in concentration and meditation, but in this case it is necessary for each violation, or move the bead bundle.

Practical application of autosuggestion is very simple.

When what you want to achieve, you have formulated in the form of an order in the present tense, such as "Day by day, doing my best," or

"I do not want to drink, smoke," or "I am healthy, happy, happy," - you can actually start to practice. Shortly before bedtime take up their beads or lace with knots and repeat in a low voice, a whisper or mentally, as you prefer, or as the situation permits, the selected formula as long as you get to the end of the cord. In this case, you will be sure that the formula was repeated forty times. It is important that you submit your desire is already realized, that is implemented, appears to be completely and clearly, that is approaching, are translated in this way. If, after repeating the formula for the entire length of the cord you still do not want to sleep, and imagine further that your desire has been fulfilled, as long as you do not go to sleep, still thinking about his desire. You have in mind to see to it to pick up the desire in his sleep. Even if the secondary repeating formula you go to sleep, when only half of the cord pass, even then the goal is fully achieved.

In the morning when you have not quite woken up yet, and you can stay in bed, immediately take the beads and repeat the experiment. There are people who often get up at night, or because of frequent urination or for other reasons, then you can repeat the experiment, this will only speed up the appearance of the results.

Should also note what wishes are carried out with the help of autosuggestion. There is a general rule that can make any wish that for spirit, soul and body, for example, improved character, bad habits, weaknesses, disharmony, improve health, and promote the elimination of the various qualities of the person, the development of skills. However, it is impossible to carry out the desires that have nothing to do with personality, such as winning the lottery.
