The transmission of thought at a distance. How to make other people think about you?

Elizabeth Volkova

Is it possible to transmit thoughts at a distance?

In this article I will try to describe my thoughts on this matter and explain a bit scientifically why, in my opinion, thought transmission at a distance is a completely trivial thing, not something unusual.

In the 20s. 20th century Academician V.I. Vernadsky introduced the concept of the noosphere, defined as a "reasonable" shell around the earth.

In my mind the noosphere is a kind of field in which all the thoughts of all people on the planet are located. I would NOT call it a collective mind or public consciousness, no, it is rather a field where thoughts fly indiscriminately.

In fact, the thoughts that you think do not originate in your head. They come to you from outside. Just from this field.

This feature could easily be tracked by those of you who, in order to "strengthen the power of thought", were engaged in the practice of "no mind", that is, they stopped their thoughts.

When I watch my silent mind, I notice how various thoughts in the truest sense of the word attack my head, try to break into my space, into my mental shell.

Remember, you probably had situations when some thought directly bombarded you against your desire. Has it happened?

Our mind generally has two functions: to receive thoughts from outside and to create them on our own.

You and I, people striving to fulfill our desires, very often set our minds precisely to create OUR thoughts and images.

We do this by writing our desires and saying affirmations, we visualize our desires. That is, by an effort of will we create our own thoughts and transfer them to the noosphere.

But who can catch this idea from the noosphere?

Yes, anyone!

Scientists transmit thoughts at a distance

It has long been the norm that scientists in different countries at the same time, INDEPENDENTLY from each other, without knowing anything about each other, make the same discovery.

It was enough to "google" and I found a definition of this phenomenon in Wikipedia:

Multiple opening is the hypothesis that most scientific research and inventions are done independently and more or less simultaneously by several scientists and inventors.

When the list of Nobel laureates is announced annually, especially in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology and medicine, economics, more and more often, instead of single laureates, two or (the maximum possible number) three who independently made the same discovery are nominated.

Historians and sociologists note the prevalence of "multiple independent discoveries" in science.

Sometimes the openings happen at the same time or almost at the same time; sometimes scientists make discoveries without knowing that others have already made them years ago.

Examples of multiple independent discoveries:

• formalization of differential and integral calculus in the 17th century by Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz and others (described by Rupert Hall);
• Boyle's law - Mariotte, independently discovered by two scientists in the 17th century;
• the discovery of oxygen in the 18th century by Karl Scheele, Joseph Priestley, Antoine Lavoisier and others;
• non-Euclidean geometry, independently developed at the beginning of the 19th century by N. I. Lobachevsky in Russia, Janos Bolyai in Hungary, and Gauss in Germany;
• a theory of the evolution of species developed independently in the 19th century by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace.

What thoughts does this information give you?

Perhaps all thoughts really fly away into the noosphere and from there already "get" into people's heads?

How does thought decide which head to enter?

I will describe the mechanism for choosing a person to “hit” a thought into him later, but now read about the mysterious experiment with monkeys on the island.

Monkeys transmit thoughts from a distance

On the Japanese island of Koshima, a colony of wild monkeys lived, which scientists fed sweet potatoes (yam), scattering them on the sand.

The monkeys liked the sweet potato, but they didn't like the sand on it. You know, animals don't eat dirty food.

Then one day, an 18-month-old female Imo discovered that she could solve this problem by washing the sweet potato. She taught this trick to her mother and other monkeys.

And when the number of monkeys who had learned to wash sweet potatoes reached a hundred or more, all the monkeys living on the nearby islands, suddenly, without any external prompting, also began to wash potatoes.

How can this be, you ask?

It would seem, nothing supernatural. But the fact is that several groups of scientists have observed monkeys on completely different islands.

And at one point, when the number of monkeys who learned to peel sweet potatoes reached a certain number, all the monkeys on all the islands began to peel sweet potatoes.

Considering what's between them there was absolutely no contact It becomes very difficult to explain this phenomenon.

And this happened to all the monkeys in Japan, even in zoos.

Although unknown, possibly worldwide, no such global observations have been made.

How to explain this phenomenon?

Many associate this phenomenon with the information shell of the earth, or with signals from space.

There are many versions. However, none of the theories has yet been proven. As long as it remains a mystery...

How do people inadvertently communicate thoughts to each other?

And if indeed, a group of people, whether they are residents of the same village or a group of friends, have a common mental field, then it turns out that we can catch the thought that our neighbor or friend thought yesterday?

Have you ever had cases when you and your loved ones started a conversation and realized that you had absolutely identical thoughts about a particular case?

Is it a coincidence? Coincidence?

Such a story happened to me once.

Sisters transmit thoughts at a distance

In those days, my sister and I were far apart.

It was summer, and we were on vacation in different places.

At this time, a small kitten was brought to our house.

The kitten was handed over to me and I took care of him in the early days, waiting for my sister to return, so that we could come up with a name for him together.

Over the course of these few days, I've been going over the names in my mind.

In the end, I decided that I would offer my sister the name Fedor, like Uncle Fedor from the cartoon.

When my sister arrived and we played with the kitten together, it turned out that she, too, had already come up with a name.

Have you already guessed what name she came up with?

It was the same name - Fedor!

Regardless of me, the same name came to my sister's mind. Moreover, this name has never been called by any cats in our district, that is, the name was completely new to us.

Which of us inspired this name to whom, it is already impossible to know.

But the fact that people can catch other people's thoughts has been a constant to me ever since.

Often close people can easily transmit thoughts to each other at a distance, let's read about an experiment conducted in New York.

How the husband conveyed the thought to his wife

Husband and wife, who voluntarily agreed to undergo the experiment, were placed in different hospitals, several kilometers apart from each other. They were connected to devices that measured heart rate, blood pressure, galvanic skin response, brain wave frequency and other physiological parameters.

Then one of the parapsychologists approached the man and in a gloomy tone said that he had bad news. His wife died suddenly during the experiment. After a ten second pause, the subject was told that his wife was fine and that the message was just part of the experiment.

The devices recorded the man's shock and expressed it in quantitative terms.

Surprisingly, at a distance of several kilometers, his wife, who did not know anything about what he was told, also registered shock.

Somehow the two minds communicated with each other, despite the distance and the fact that they were not aware of this communication.

In the example described above, it is rather about transmitting not a thought at a distance, but an emotional state, but the essence is the same: we can communicate with each other at a distance without using means of communication.

For example, many of you are familiar with the teachings of Klaus Jos and the methods of sending love to another person.

When one person can establish contact with another person, improve relations with him, by sending him flows of love energy, I wrote how to do this in an article.

As you can see, the conscious communication of two minds is a scientifically proven fact.

Now let's move on to practice and see how you can transmit thoughts to other people at a distance.

I am reprinting this material for those who have not received the letter.

How to get a person to call?

My dears, I will immediately clarify.

We do not force anyone to call! We only direct our thought into the noosphere in order to convey it to another person. All this is quite harmless.

For more information about this method, see the video

So one day I really wanted a young man to call me. An old friend of mine who I haven't talked to for a long time. And here's what I did.

I began to mentally imagine what he would say to me if he really called. I came up with words that I knew exactly what he would say. To do this, I turned to my memory and remembered how he used to start his phone call to me.

And he started it tritely: a long drawn-out “Hello”, then a pause and “How are you?”.

I presented not only the content of the text.

After this image, I moved on to another.

I imagined the phone ringing, I look at the screen and see that he is ringing, I see the name that he is written in my phone book.

I “flavored” both of these visualizations with the emotions that I will experience when he actually calls. So, of course, I'm happy ...

Hmm, what should I tell him?

It would probably be good for him to know...

That was my train of thought. I fully believed that I would actually receive a call from him in the near future.

And in the end, he called me about 5 days later.

Everything went exactly according to plan.

When I saw his name on the screen and then heard these “hello” and “how are you” - I was a little stunned. It's incredible how you can convey thoughts from a distance!

How to pull a message from the right person?

And now the second story. About SMS.

This story was shared by a girl, a blog reader, when I asked her what wishes you had already fulfilled, and here is the story she told:

I really wanted to reconcile with a man.

In the evening, on a piece of paper, I spontaneously drew a dialog box, as in Viber, and a text from it: “Hi, I miss you.”

About two hours later, I received a message from him in Viber with exactly the same text.

Wow!

As you can see, both mental visualization and what we write down on paper work.

Do you want to receive a call or SMS from a certain person?

Then try. No magic. Only the power of directed thought!

These two stories clearly show how one person can direct his thoughts to a call or SMS to another person.

Do you know how it looks from the side of the person to whom the thought was directed?

He will be absolutely sure that this is his own thought!

Now think, are you thinking your own thoughts now?

I have an amazingly deep article about "receivers" and "translators", read it to learn how to create your own thoughts, and not catch someone else's.

How to make a man think about you?

Many people ask me if it is possible to “work” with a person at a distance. I answer immediately to everyone - it is possible. At the beginning of the article, you read how our thoughts move from one person to another.

Now I want to tell you how to direct your thought so that the right person “catch” it.

This is done very simply - using your imagination.

You simply imagine this person and imagine that the thought you need enters his head.

I described a very good technique of subjective communication (as Jose Silva called this process) in an article.

I will not repeat myself, read that article, it describes how you can convey a thought to a person at a distance using the alpha level.

And now I’ll tell you a more piquant way of instilling a thought in a person, and not even a thought, but rather a desire ...

That is, for a person to think about you.

This will only work if you are in a romantic relationship.

Magic touch method

Imagine that your person is naked.

Your next step is to reach out and touch it.

Use your visualized sense to caress him erotically with your hand. If you lose the big picture of that person, that's fine.

Just concentrate on the area of ​​the body you are touching.

If you can't imagine what exactly that part of the body looks like - finish it (it will still work).

According to psychologists and esotericists, a person can be influenced not only verbally, but also with the help of the power of thought. Thanks to the simplest techniques, you will learn how to do this.

Experts say that there are many ways in which you can learn how to influence people with the power of thought alone. As it turned out, this can be done even at a distance. Psychologists say that there is nothing supernatural in these methods: for this you need to know only the basics of human psychology. By following simple rules, you can win over any person and make others do whatever you want.

As it turned out, it is not so easy to influence a person with the power of thought alone. To do this, you need to have certain qualities, and most importantly, focus. Only in this case the result of psychological influence will bring a positive result.

First of all, the object of influence must be in a relaxed state. Therefore, it is best to do this when a person is sleeping or in a state of mild alcohol intoxication, since at such moments the human subconscious is not able to work at full strength.

The most important thing is faith in a positive result. If you are skeptical and expect failure, you most likely will. Do not doubt your abilities, and soon you will learn to control the subconscious of people.

Do not lose faith if at first you did not succeed. For these techniques to bring results, constant training is needed, and preferably on different people.

At the moment of impulse transmission, imagine that it passes from the forehead to the corresponding part of the body of the object of influence. At this moment, be sure to watch your breathing: it is important that it is even.

At the moment of performing the technique, not only the addressee, but also you should be in a relaxed state. You should not influence a person while in a bad mood, otherwise you risk harming him.

It doesn't matter if the person is at a distance or nearby. At the moment of impact, you must be abstracted from the crowd. Excessive noise and fuss can distract your attention, which means that it will be very difficult to get the desired result.

Do not perform techniques in an overly lit area. If you're doing this at home, dim the lights, or better yet, turn them off.

To influence a person with the power of thought, it is necessary to concentrate. The noise and conversations of others can distract you, but calm music and incense sticks will help you relax.

If you are working on a person to heal or support him, at this moment you should smile. In this way, you instill happiness and joy in the subconscious of the object, which means that his physical and mental state will soon improve.

To learn how to influence people with the power of thought, you must have a rich imagination. You must be able to visualize, represent what you want in all colors, and even experience certain emotions. Then soon you will be able to use the techniques at any time and without additional training.

How to influence a person with the power of thought

Once you know how and under what conditions to perform the techniques, you can begin to act. There are several popular ways to influence people.

By photo. This technique is one of the most common. It is perfect for those who want to influence a person who is at a long distance, or for beginners. To complete it, you only need a photograph of the object. Place it in front of you and for several minutes imagine that the person from the photo is now next to you. Then slowly say what you want from this person and repeat it many times. When you are sure that the recipient has heard you, complete the technique.

At a short distance. If the person next to you wants to learn the technique of influence, this method is perfect for the two of you. Go to different rooms, close your eyes and mentally imagine the image of each other. Only one of you should send the message, the task of the other is to receive it. Repeat the technique for twenty minutes, and then open your eyes and see the result. If you fail, don't get upset. Perhaps you just need to gain experience.

Human treatment. With the power of thought alone, you can heal both the physical and mental condition of the patient. In the same way, you can provide moral support to someone who needs it. Sometimes loved ones use this technique unconsciously. As it turned out, a loving heart and excitement for a loved one can really work wonders. To heal the recipient, imagine that you have a ball of healing energy in your hands. Now mentally pass it on to another person. Imagine how he inhales this ball, and his body is filled with positive energy. His mood changes for the better, he begins to smile, rejoice and forget about the obsessive illness. It is very important that at this moment you feel the state of the patient, otherwise there will be no result.

On human action. Thanks to a simple technique, you can not only make a person perform a certain action, but even fall in love with yourself. To do this, you need to sit comfortably, take three deep breaths, close your eyes and formulate a short message. Imagine that the addressee is next to you, even try to smell him, and then speak your order. Start visualizing it in action. For example, if you want a person to write you a message or call you, imagine how he picks up the phone and starts texting you what you want from him. If you want this very much, then soon the object will let you know about itself. To master telehypnosis, you need to devote 20-25 minutes to this every day.

Message to man. Sometimes it becomes necessary to urgently contact a person, but it is impossible to do this here and now. In this case, this technique will help you. To do this, formulate the exact message, and then take a deep breath and exhale, during which your message will go to the addressee.

Having studied the above techniques, you will be able to influence people even at the moment when they do not know about it. However, the possibilities of our subconscious do not end there. With the power of thought, you can not only make the reflectors do what you want, but fulfill your cherished desires. Soon you will be able to verify this. We wish you happiness and good luck, and don't forget to press the buttons and

The suggestion of thoughts at a distance is an ability that is not given to everyone. Despite the fact that numerous skeptics doubt the possibility of such a suggestion, it must be recognized that such a phenomenon actually exists.

Many people are convinced that all their thoughts and desires depend only on themselves and no one else. But experts say that there are such phenomena as suggestion, telepathy. Thanks to certain techniques and methods, it is possible to influence a person, inspiring him with his thoughts and imposing desires.

Technique of suggestion of thoughts at a distance

To tune in to the wave of another person whom you want to inspire something, you need to focus on him. You need to train to inspire desires with the power of thought on close people - this will help you learn faster.

So, what needs to be done to inspire thoughts from photographs, including:

1. Fully concentrate and not think about anything.
2. Look closely at the photo for about five minutes.
3. Focus entirely on the person.
4. Get the feeling that he is there.
5. Imagine him, in your thoughts pronounce the words that you want to convey to him.
6. It is necessary to imagine very realistically that thoughts pass to a person through energy channels and reach him, penetrating into the brain and turning into thoughts.

The person to whom the suggestion is given will hear a voice in his head and will consider that his own thoughts are arising.

You need to train every day and devote at least half an hour to classes. It is advisable to repeat the exercise 5 times - the action will be stronger.

Similarly, you can inspire at a distance.

You need to try, experiment and maybe you will succeed. The main thing is to have a strong desire to inspire a certain person with your thoughts.

Do you think that you do not depend on others? Is your life governed solely by your own thoughts and desires? It is quite possible, but another option is also likely - the dreams and aspirations that live inside you have come to consciousness through suggestion.

Often, a close environment of the best intentions can inspire a person with certain thoughts, and he, in turn, sincerely believes that the perception of reality is his own.

In order to put a certain view of a problem into a person’s head, tactile or verbal contact is not at all necessary, often suggestion of thoughts happens at a distance. The great hypnotist Wolf Messing owned a similar technique, he could “work” with a person who is hundreds of kilometers away from him.

Thanks to his extraordinary abilities, a man who gained fame as a magician and wizard gained incredible popularity, his talent was sought to be used by the most powerful of this world for their own purposes. Messing, with his own prophecies, managed to anger Hitler so much that he promised a lot of money for his capture.

Messing himself said that he acquired the ability to suggest through long training. The hypnotist sincerely believed that almost all people have the ability to inspire thoughts, the only difference is that he developed his abilities for many years, and his environment did not strive for such progress.

Wolf Messing has identified several rules, the implementation of which is necessary in order to thought suggestion always ended successfully:

A person must sincerely believe in what he is doing, if the hypnotist doubts, there will be no positive result;

Dissatisfaction with oneself is a path to failure;

The hypnotist is obliged to fulfill everything that he promised to the suggested person;

Constant training is the key to success.

Wolf Messing's suggestion technique itself is also interesting, if he needed to work with an object that was at a great distance, the hypnotist imagined his image (often in his thoughts he transferred to the room in which he was) and worked exclusively with him. The contact between Messing and the suggested person took place “brain to brain”, Wolf sought to clearly articulate and send the object the thought that would prompt him to a certain action. Moreover, the more emotionally the thought was colored, the faster the process of suggestion went.

Despite the incredible successes of Wolf Messing in the field, he was just an outstanding personality in the field of influencing the human psyche, while the suggestion technologies themselves appeared much earlier. For example, immersing people in trance states and suggestion techniques were known even in the times of pagan tribes.

The West and the East, which for a long time, fundamentally compete with each other in all areas, have radically different attitudes towards methods of transmitting thoughts at a distance.

Western experts, when influencing a person, try to use an aggressive influence, their technique assumes the dominance of a hypnotist: an order, a focused look, touches. As a rule, when influencing a person, representatives of Western methods use all their will, but their "charm" lasts a short period of time.

Eastern theory suggestion of thoughts works according to other principles, the hypnotist seeks to establish contact with the inner world of a person, the effect of such work is longer.

In modern conditions suggestion methods thoughts are used in the treatment of serious psychological diseases, alcoholism, drug and nicotine addiction.

There are three ways of mental influence on others.

First, it is a direct suggestion. It uses voice, appearance, look. This includes both voluntary suggestions and involuntary ones.

Involuntary suggestion is the impression that we make on others.

Secondly, these are special thought waves that arise as a result of the efforts of the mind. One person sends them to another consciously, wanting to achieve a certain goal.

Thirdly, this is the so-called personal magnetism, that is, the attracting property of a thought sent by a person.

We have already touched on the question of which people are more susceptible to suggestion. In this chapter, we will continue the discussion on this topic. Our mind has two main functions. The first, active, is characterized by conscious, volitional thinking. In other words, it is willpower, a person's ability to independently make decisions, analyze their actions. The second function, passive, is the absolute opposite of the first.

The passive function is used much more often than the active one, and does not require any effort on the part of the human will.

People who mainly use the passive function of the mind do not create their own thoughts, they do not live by their own mind. These people rarely think, are subject to the herd mentality. Of course, they are much easier to manage: they are not always able to say “no”, they are not used to thinking about their actions. A hypnotist can easily inspire such a person with any thought.

And vice versa, difficulties can arise with people who are used to being responsible for their actions, living and thinking independently, analyzing events, who are not afraid to go against the majority. Such people do not take anything blindly on faith, they are used to checking everything.

But even such people can be hypnotized by choosing the moment when they are very tired or too relaxed.

Of course, it is impossible to divide all people into two categories: active and passive. An ordinary person always combines the features of both types, just one function is more pronounced in him. One of the first tasks of the hypnotist is to lull the person's vigilance. This can be achieved by various methods of mental influence. You can develop the powers of your own subconscious and thoughts through the exercises that will be given below. Also an important component of success is faith in yourself and your strengths. Each person can learn to influence other people. Sometimes it just lacks self-confidence. It should be worked out. This will help to solve many internal problems.

How to hypnotize a person and resist hypnosis

Now let's move on to practice. Hypnosis is carried out not with the help of some supernatural powers that only magicians can master, but in very real ways that are accessible to everyone.

One of these methods is the technique of conversation. It is necessary to conduct a conversation in such a way as to interest a person, to find common topics. When you manage to find a topic that is close to the interlocutor, you need to show the art of an intelligent and attentive listener. Bringing a person to a frank conversation is perhaps the most important thing in the art of conversation.

By drawing the right conclusions, it is easy to find a way by which you can influence the mind of another person.

The best intonation is similar to the intonation of your interlocutor. Don't try to outshout him if he speaks too loudly. On the contrary, it is better to lower your voice, and then your interlocutor will also begin to speak more quietly. With the help of voice, you can bewitch a person, make him listen and, as a result, inspire anything. The main thing is to be able to use this tool.

Also of great importance in hypnosis is the look. Everyone knows about the existence of the concept of "magnetic gaze", with which you can hypnotize a person.

The power of influence of human eyes is great: after all, they are called the mirror of the soul, the power of thought of their owner is reflected in the eyes.

A look can be charming, but it can also be repelled. The human eye can even influence animals. The magnetic gaze directly transmits strong mental vibrations to the brain of another person, which are capable of producing an effect close to hypnotic.

When talking to another person, look him straight in the eyes. However, you should not glare at the interlocutor with your eyes, as if in order to drill a hole in it. The look should express a strong will, firmness and concentration. Try to keep the attention of the interlocutor all the time. Only by holding his gaze can an effective suggestion be made.

When a person is under the pressure of a magnetic gaze, it is difficult for him to think and reason - he is easier to suggest.

During hypnosis, a dishonorable person can not only rob you, but also inspire some kind of action, lure you into a sect, etc.

Remember that in no case should you succumb to suggestion from an unfamiliar person.

If you find that someone is looking at you to hypnotize you, tell yourself that you will not be influenced. Mentally create a barrier that will prevent the hypnotist from putting you into a trance state. Try to avoid eye-catching, do not look into the interlocutor's eyes in any case. It is best not to talk to dubious personalities at all, so avoid meeting people on the street, in public transport.

Magnetic Gaze Technique

Let us turn to the technique of magnetic gaze.

The magnetic gaze is not an innate gift. He can be learned. There are several specific exercises to help you do this. If you train constantly and hard, you will soon notice that under the influence of your gaze, people become somewhat confused, unsure of themselves.

Almost everyone can learn the technique of magnetic gaze. All it takes is a strong desire to influence people.

Having mastered the technique of the magnetic gaze, use it only when necessary, since the impact on the human psyche never goes unnoticed for anyone. At the moment of hypnotic influence, you take responsibility for the person who is subject to your will.

However, while you are only training, you can test the strength of your gaze on others.

Exercise 1

The exercises described below may seem a little boring to you, but they will bring real results if you practice them systematically and seriously.

For the first exercise, you will need a sheet of paper. Draw a small circle on it, about 1 cm in diameter, and paint over it with black. Hang the sheet on the wall at the height of your eyes in a sitting position. Then sit on a chair at a distance of 1 m from the sheet and stare at the circle. It is necessary to look without blinking for 1 minute. After that, rest a little, and then repeat the exercise. In total, you need to complete five approaches.

Then move the sheet to the right a small distance (about 80 cm) from its original position. Sit in your seat and look at the wall opposite you without looking at the paper. Then, without turning your head, look at the spot and look without blinking for 1 minute.

Repeat this exercise 4 more times.

Move the paper the same distance to the left of the original position, look at the paper for 1 minute. The number of repetitions of the exercise is 5 times.

This whole complex must be performed for 3 days, and then the time of looking at the circle should be increased to 2 minutes. Again, do the exercise for 3 days, and then increase the time to 3 minutes. Continue to do the exercise daily, increasing the time by 1 minute every 3 days.

This exercise, despite its apparent simplicity, is very important on the way to the magnetic gaze technique, as it teaches you to look into the eyes of another with confidence and persuasiveness.

You can look into the eyes of another person for 30 minutes. But even 15 minutes is enough to make any suggestion you need.

Exercise 2

The second exercise is similar to the first, but complements it and makes it more effective.

Stand in front of the mirror and look into your eyes just as intently as before in a circle. Increase the time gradually, as in the first exercise. Through this training, you will learn to endure the gaze of other people and give expressiveness to the eyes.

Your eyes will be able to acquire the expression you need at one time or another.

The second exercise must be combined with the first. This will help you achieve optimal results.

Exercise 3

To perform the third exercise, stand in front of the wall at a distance of 90 cm. Place a sheet of paper with a drawn circle at eye level. Then, without taking your eyes off the circle, begin to move your head, rotate it. At the same time, the eyes should look at the circle all the time: this will help develop the eye nerves and muscles.

Exercise should be carried out without tiring the eyes.

Exercise 4

Look at the opposite wall and begin to quickly look from one point of the wall to another in all directions: right, left, up, down, zigzags, etc. As soon as you feel that your eyes are tired, stop doing the exercise. Stop looking at a point, and then complete the exercise.

Exercise 5

This exercise is essential for developing confidence in the look that you have already learned to create. You will need the help of another person to complete this exercise. Sit him in front of you, sit down yourself and start looking intently into his eyes. He must do the same. After a while, you will put him into a hypnotic state.

Test the power of your gaze on pets. You will see that they also cannot stand your gaze and try to turn away.

At first, due to exercise, the eyes will get tired and watery. Wash your face with cold water - this will instantly bring relief. However, after a few days of training, you will no longer experience pain, as your eyes get used to such stress.

The power of thought

A person's ability to suggest is directly dependent on his willpower.

The greats of this world had the ability to control people. They could conquer the people with the power of their mind. Many of them often did not even realize why people worship them, what is the secret of their power.

All great people possessed a certain power that allowed them to influence the mass consciousness, dictate their will, lead.

The power of thought is a conscious manifestation of the will, which causes certain mental vibrations directed at some object. In other words, the hypnotist has a developed power of suggestion. He sends mental impulses to a person, and he fulfills the requirements that are addressed to his subconscious. Thought vibrations can be sent during a conversation, that is, for a short distance or for a long one.

The transmission of mental vibrations over a long distance is telepathy, which will be discussed in the next chapter.

A person endowed with inner strength is aware of himself as a person, he knows perfectly well all his capabilities and abilities. Remember: our body is only an external, physical shell, and our true essence is hidden inside. Using your inner strength correctly, you can win over any person and make him obey your will and do what you need. If this person does not have sufficient strength of resistance, you can easily subjugate him.

In order to influence the consciousness of the interlocutor, one should send him a powerful mental demand with the help of consciousness, and do this with a firm belief that it will be fulfilled. If you begin to doubt the possibility of fulfilling your desire, then nothing will be achieved. And of course, you need to develop your abilities: mastery is achieved through a lot of hard work and constant training. In order to transfer your will to another person, you also need the ability to concentrate. Below are exercises to help you learn concentration.

Some people, having only willpower and not being able to resist another mind, become a tool in the hands of other people.

Exercise 1

The first exercise must be performed while walking. Choose any person walking ahead of you at a short distance - about nine meters - and start looking at the back of his head without looking up. Your gaze should be firm, fixed and stubborn. Do not look away and mentally wish that the person turned around. After a short time, he will actually turn his head.

Women are affected much more than men.

Exercise 2

This exercise is very similar to the previous one, but you need to train in some public place - at a concert, in a theater, in a store. Focus your gaze on the same area, that is, on the back of the person’s head, and look carefully, mentally giving the order to turn around. Soon the person will begin to worry, nervously look around. Eventually, he will turn towards you. The exercise is more successfully carried out on your acquaintances - they will turn to you faster than strangers.

You may not succeed the first time. But after hard training, results will appear.

Exercise 3

On the street, select the person standing on the opposite side of the road. It is better that he does not stand directly in front of you, but a little to the right or left. Don't look directly at it, but keep it in sight. Then send a suggestion to the person so that he looks at you. After a while, the subject you have chosen will look in your direction. At the same time, his face will be somewhat absent-minded, even stupid.

The look thrown at you will be unconscious, as if he was forced to do it.

Exercise 4

This exercise will be especially useful for people who are going to take oral exams, interviews or activities that require the ability to make a good impression on others using speech.

Many successful business people are masters of the science of persuasion.

When you are talking to a person and you see that he cannot find the right word, direct your magnetic gaze to him and suggest the right word. And the person will suddenly remember it. An important requirement in this case: your word must be suitable, otherwise the person will find another one that is more appropriate for the purpose of the statement. Especially the ability to inspire words helps in oral exams.

Students with sufficient mental power inspired the examiner with those questions, the answers to which they already knew. Of course, such a gift will not save on written checks.

Exercise 5

In this exercise, you need to get a person to change direction. This is convenient to do when walking down the same street with another person.

Go behind the selected subject and do not take your eyes off him. When this person encounters an obstacle in his path (for example, a pillar), you can inspire him to go around it on the right or left; you can wish it to turn right or left or stop.

Exercise 6

Stand at the window and look at passers-by. Choose any person and wish that he looked at you. When you have enough experience, seven out of nine people obey your call.

All these exercises will help you learn to inspire your thoughts to other people, to dictate your will to them. Just remember that you can not use this skill aimlessly, for the sake of entertainment. The power of our subconscious is enormous, and it must be treated with respect and caution.

Persuasive Speech Principles

The main instrument of suggestion is the word, speech. This chapter is dedicated to just that. By mastering the technique of persuasive speech, you will be able to use suggestion most successfully in your life. Persuasive speech is a process in which a person conveys a message designed to reinforce a particular belief in others, change it, or spur an audience to action. Let's take a look at specific techniques that are designed to help you achieve your persuasion goals.

The principles of persuasive speech will help you make the most of the power of the word.

Principle 1

You will be more likely to convince people if you can express clearly and clearly what they should believe or do.

Your words will most likely be aimed at shaping or changing people's opinions or at encouraging them to act. You speak out loud your desire for your listeners to do something. Here are two goal statements that express the desire to achieve action:

“I want my listeners to agree to go to a charity concert that I arrange”;

“I want my listeners to approve the project that I present to them.”

Principle 2

You will be more likely to convince listeners if you formulate goals and present information based on the attitudes that your listeners hold.

Attitudes are dominant or persistent feelings, positive or negative, that are associated with some subject, thing or issue.

Thus, the phrase “I think it is important to keep the apartment clean” is an opinion that reflects a person’s positive attitude towards maintaining order in the house.

Attitudes are expressed by people most often in the form of opinions.

In order to successfully carry out the suggestion, it is necessary to find out what attitudes your prospective listeners hold. The more information you can get about the audience and the more experienced you are in the field of its analysis, the more likely it is that the basic attitudes of the listeners will be correctly predicted.

Despite the fact that the opinion of the majority usually prevails, in any audience there will always be a few people who do not share it.

Audience attitudes, expressed as opinions, can be distributed on a continuous scale, from the most positive to the most negative.

In general, the opinions of the audience are usually grouped around a certain point. This focus point is the audience's generalized attitude toward the subject.

The opinions of the audience can be placed on a scale with the following divisions:

- hostile;

- inconsistent;

– medium discordant;

– neutral;

- moderately favorable;

- favorable;

- extremely benevolent.

On the same scale, in general, any audience can be attributed to one of three types.

1. An audience that has a positive attitude (listeners already hold this point of view).

2. An audience without a definite opinion (listeners are not informed, neutral or indifferent).

3. An audience with a negative attitude (listeners hold the opposite point of view).

Each of the three types has its own strategy of speech behavior.

1. Positive attitude of the audience. If you think that your audience already supports your opinion, then you should consider revisiting your goal by focusing on a specific program of action. That is, you can revise and increase the number of goals you want to achieve by resorting to verbal suggestion.

By determining which of the three groups your intended audience belongs to, you can develop a strategy for adapting your speech to this setting.

2. Lack of a definite opinion. If you have come to the conclusion that the audience does not have a definite opinion on your topic, you can set yourself the goal of forming their opinion or persuading them to act as you see fit.

If you think that the audience has no opinion because they are not informed, then your main task is to give as much information as is necessary for the audience to understand the essence of the matter before you call them to accept an opinion or do certain things. actions.

If you think that the listeners are neutral to the subject of the conversation, then they are capable of an objective assessment and the perception of reasonable arguments. Then your speech should contain the most logical and weighty arguments and back them up with the most accurate and verified information that you can find.

If your assessment of the audience's dominant attitude is correct, you will have a high chance of success with this strategy.

If you think that the audience does not have a definite opinion, because the subject of the upcoming conversation is indifferent to them, all your efforts should be aimed at moving them from a position of indifference. In this case, you need to focus not on specific information, but on motivation. Use less material that supports the logical chain of your evidence and more that speaks directly to the needs of the listeners, touching their feelings.

If you think that the audience is in a position of moderate disagreement with respect to your proposal, you can safely present your arguments to them in the expectation that the weight of these arguments will make them accept your opinion as correct.

3. Negative audience setting. If you find that the target audience is not likely to support your opinion, the speech strategy will depend on whether their attitude is moderately negative or completely hostile.

When speaking to a negative audience, pay special attention to presenting the material objectively and presenting your case clearly enough that people who disagree with you in part are willing to consider your proposal, and those who completely disagree at least understand your point of view.

If you think your audience is completely hostile to your goal, you might be better off approaching the topic from a distance, or consider changing or transforming your goal a bit. You should not think that you will be able to achieve a complete revolution in relationships or in the behavior of people after the end of one speech.

Once the idea has taken root, you can invite your listeners to go even further in changing attitudes.

If possible, spread out your main goal over several "sessions". If you first come up with a proposal that causes the audience to at least partly change their attitude towards the subject, you may make your listeners think that your message can have some value.

Principle 3

You will convince your audience faster if your speech contains logical and reasonable arguments and evidence in support of your goal.

In persuading the audience, you can use people's commitment to rationality. We rarely do anything without a real or imagined rational reason. To play on this need of the listeners, the main points of your persuasive speech should be formulated in the form of arguments.

Reasons are statements that explain why a proposal is justified.

In this case, the question arises of how to find good arguments. Reasons are statements that answer the question why we should believe or do something. If you are well acquainted with your subject, then it will not be difficult for you to find arguments for each position of your speech.

Make a list of likely arguments, carefully study them and evaluate them impartially.

When preparing your persuasive speech, you will probably discard many arguments because they do not have enough support.

Then choose from them three or four of the best, most convincing.

There are the following criteria for evaluating the alleged arguments:

1. Arguments must be based on facts. Many arguments may look impressive enough, but cannot be backed up in fact.

2. The arguments must be relevant to your subject. Some statements look like arguments, but do not actually carry any real evidence of what you intend to say.

3. The arguments should affect your potential listeners. Even if the first rule is followed, the argument will not fulfill its persuasive role in an audience that does not consider the criterion you have chosen to be the most important for evaluating the situation.

While it's impossible to predict exactly how your audience will respond to an argument, you can roughly estimate its impact based on your audience analysis.

It is necessary to pay attention to three more aspects, three points of view from which it is necessary to evaluate the arguments you have chosen.

1. The source from which the information is taken. Just as the opinions of some people are more trustworthy than those of others, so certain printed sources are more reliable.

2. Modernity of information. If your speech uses any ideas or statistics, then it is better that they are close enough to the present moment. What was true 5 years ago may not be true today.

If your evidence comes from an unreliable or biased source, look to other sources for confirmation or exclude that evidence from your speech.

3. The relevance of providing information. You need to make sure that the evidence is a direct justification for your arguments. If it is not, it should not be used in your persuasive speech.

Principle 4

You will convince your listeners more quickly if you base your argument on the audience's intended reaction.

The most commonly used persuasive speech schemes are the following methods:

- method of presentation of rational arguments;

– method of solving the problem;

- comparative advantage method;

- method of motivation.

Method of presenting rational arguments

The rational reasoning method is a straight-forward scheme in which you present the best supported arguments to your audience in the following order: the strongest argument at the end, the second strongest at the beginning, and the rest in between.

The rational argument method will work best if the audience has no particular opinion on the subject, is indifferent to it, or is only slightly leaning in favor or against.

Sample sentence: “I want the audience to fundraise for the needs of the office:

– the collected funds will help improve working conditions through the purchase of new equipment (the second strongest argument);

– the collected funds will partly be used to pay off debts;

“The real costs for each office worker will be very small (the strongest argument).”

Problem Solving Method

You can clarify the essence of the problem and clearly explain why the proposed solution is the best. The structure of speech built according to this method is often organized on the basis of the following provisions:

- there is a problem that requires action;

- this proposal will help solve the problem;

– this proposal is the best solution to the problem because it provides positive results.

This method is straightforward and therefore best used when the subject matter is not well known or understood by the audience, when the audience is simply unaware of the problem, or when the audience has no or moderate opinion for or against the proposed solution. .

Suggestion example:

“I want the audience to fundraise for the needs of the office:

- lack of money leads to problems in the work of the institution (problem statement);

– the expected income from fundraising will be enough to solve these problems (solution);

“To date, raising funds for the needs of the office is the best method for solving the problems that have arisen (positive results).”

For speech that is structured around a problem-solving scheme, the logic connecting the speaker's reasoning and purpose can be expressed as follows: if the existing problem is not solved or cannot be solved by the measures applied, and the given proposal is capable of solving the problem in a practical way, then the proposal should be accepted.

Comparative merits method

The method of comparative merits enables the speaker to shift the focus to the benefits of the proposed course of action. Instead of presenting the proposal as a way to solve a complex problem, this method portrays it as something that should be chosen only because of its advantages over what is currently being done.

The approach to the issue of introducing a school tax from the standpoint of comparing merits would look something like this.

This scheme is most effective when the listeners agree either that there is a problem that needs to be solved, or that the proposal is better than all the others, even if there are no specific problems at the moment.

Suggestion example:

“I want the audience to fundraise for the office.

– raising funds will allow the office to improve the quality of work (merit 1);

- income from this tax will allow schools to invite the best professionals in our field for consultation (dignity 2);

“This fee will allow the purchase of modern equipment (merit 3).”

For a speech that is structured according to the scheme of comparative merit, the logic of organization relating the arguments and the purpose of the speech can be expressed as follows: if the arguments presented show that the proposal provides a significant improvement over what is being done at the moment, then the proposal should be accepted.

Motivation method

This method combines problem solving and listener motivation.

A motivation scheme usually includes the following five steps:

- to attract attention;

- approval of the need, revealing the nature of the problem;

The method of motivation is carried out according to the problem solving scheme. It also contains the necessary steps in order to enhance the motivational effect of speech.

– satisfaction of a need explaining how your proposal positively solves an existing problem;

- a visual representation showing what the offer will bring personally for each listener;

- a call to action that highlights a specific direction that the audience needs to follow.

The motivational speech scheme in defense of the proposal to hold a cash collection at the enterprise will look like this.

Suggestion example:

“I want the audience to fundraise for the needs of the enterprise:

- comparing the results of our products with the same products made by professionals from different countries makes us pay attention to our production system (attention);

- lack of money, which is the result of cost reduction measures, negatively affects our work and the quality of our goods (need, problem statement);

- the proposed fundraising will generate enough revenue to solve this problem, since after that it will be possible to direct more funds to work needs (meeting the need, as the proposal solves the problem);

- this will be your contribution not only to the enterprise, but also to bring production to the level of world standards that it once met (a visual representation of the meaning of the proposal for everyone personally);

Since the motivation scheme is only a variant of the scheme for solving the problem, the logic of constructing a persuasive speech here is for the most part the same: if the measures taken do not solve the problem, then the proposed proposal, which is really capable of solving it, should be accepted.

Principle 5

You will convince your audience faster if you speak in a way that motivates them.

Motivation is the forces that affect the body from the outside and from the inside, which initiate and direct behavior.

Motivation often comes from the use of stimuli and expressive language. For a stimulus to be of any value, it must mean something.

The significance of a stimulus means that it evokes an emotional response. The effect of a stimulus is strongest when it is part of some meaningful goal.

The Power of Incentives

People are more likely to perceive incentives as meaningful when those incentives indicate a favorable cost-reward ratio.

For example, you inspire listeners with the idea of ​​spending an hour a week of their personal time to take part in charity. The time you spend will most likely be seen as a cost rather than a reward. But you can write this work in such a way that it will be perceived by the audience as an incentive that provides a reward.

So, you can ensure that your listeners, spending time on such an important and necessary thing, feel like people doing their civic duty, socially responsible or noble helpers.

If you make it clear that these rewards or incentives outweigh the costs, your listeners are more likely to want to participate in the proposed program.

Applying incentives that match basic needs

Incentives are most effective when applied to meet basic needs. One of the most popular theories in the field of needs was developed by Abraham Maslow. According to his theory, people show a greater propensity to act when the stimulus offered by the speaker is able to satisfy one of the important unmet needs of the listeners.

What is the meaning of such an analysis for you as a person who wants to inspire a thought or action in an audience?

First, this theory describes the kinds of needs that you can address in your speech.

Secondly, it provides an opportunity to understand why a certain line of development of a topic of conversation can work successfully in one audience and lead to failure with another audience.

For example, in a difficult economic period, people are more interested in satisfying physiological and security needs, and therefore less responsive to appeals to their social feelings and altruism.

Thirdly, if your message conflicts with an existing need, you must prepare in advance a worthy alternative from the same or from a more fundamental category of needs. So, if your proposal will cost people money (raising funds for the needs of the enterprise), you must show that these measures satisfy some other, comparable need (for example, increase their safety).

Principle 6

You will convince listeners faster when they see you as a trustworthy person.

In order for your persuasive speech to be successful, it is important that your listeners trust you.

If you intend to persuade with your speech, in addition to being well prepared, it is necessary to emphasize your interest in the well-being of the listeners by your appearance and manner of speaking, to show enthusiasm, you must behave ethically.

Telling the truth means more than just avoiding intentional, outright lies. If you're not sure the information is true, don't use it until you've verified it. Ignorance does not always excuse wrongdoing.

The following four rules are at the core of ethical persuasive speaking.

1. Tell the truth. Of all the rules, this is perhaps the most important. People who have agreed to listen to you trust you and expect you to be honest with them. Therefore, if people think you are lying or find out later that you have lied, they will not only reject you, but your ideas as well.

2. Put your information into perspective. Many people get so excited about the content of the information they receive from the speaker that they unnecessarily exaggerate its significance. While a slight exaggeration may well be taken for granted, when it starts to look distorted, many tend to perceive it as a lie.

3. Do not allow personal attacks in your speech on those who do not support your ideas. Insults against the enemy negatively affect the image of the speaker as a trustworthy person.

4. Give sources of any negative information. The roots and origins of ideas are often as important as the ideas themselves, especially if the statement contains accusations or incriminating information. If you intend to discuss some misdeeds of a certain person or organization or subvert an idea based on words or opinions that you have gleaned from somewhere else, indicate the source of your information and arguments.

This tactic does not add strength to the speaker's arguments and is an abuse of the opportunity to speak from the podium.
