BERNHEIM'S EXPERIMENT Bernheim was professor of medicine at Nancy, He relates the story of a man whose tongue was paralyzed. Every form of treatment was tried, with no success at all. Then one day the man's doctor announced that he had learned of a new instrument that was certain to relieve his problem. The doctor then put a pocket thermometer in the patient's mouth . The patient imagined this was the instrument that was to save him . In few moments he cried out joyfully that he could once move his tongue freely. Bernheim continues: A young girl came into his office , having suffered from complete loss of speech for nearly four weeks . After making sure of diagnosis, He told students that loss of speech sometimes yielded instantly to electricity, which might act simply by its suggestive influence. He sent for the induction apparatus. He applied his hand over the larynx and mov...
BAUDOIN TECHNIQUE
Charles Baudoin was a professor at the Rousseau Institute in France. He was a brilliant psychotherapist and research director of the New Nancy School of Healing . He discovered that the best way to impress the mind is to enter into a drowsy , sleep state , or a state to sleep , which all efforts was reduced to minimum . The the idea can be conveyed to the mind in a quiet , passive , receptive , way by reflection . As Baudoin explained :
A very simple way of securing this is to condense the idea which is to be the object of suggestion , to sum it up in a brief phrase which can be readily graven on the memory , and to repeat it over and over again as a lullaby.
A few year ago , a young widow in Los Angeles found herself caught up in a prolonged and bitter family dispute . Her late husband had left his entire estate to her , but his sons and daughter from a previous marriage had filed suit to break the will . Her offers of a settlement were spurned.
She use the baudoin technique to her . The phrase she found was "it is finished in divine order". To her these words meant that infinite intelligence , operating through the law of mind, would bring about a harmonious conclusion through the principle of memory.
Every night for ten nights she sat in a armchair , systematically relaxed her body , and entered into sleepy state, she affirmed slowly, quietly ,and feeling the statement , "It is finished in divine order, "over and over again . She found herself achieving a sense of inner peace and all- prevading tranquility ; then she went off into her deep , normal sleep.
On the morning of the eleventh day, she woke up with a sense of well-being and conviction that it was indeed finished.Her attorney called her that same day . The opposing attorney and his clients were willing to settle . A harmonious agreement reached , and the lawsuit was dropped.
THE SLEEPING TECHNIQUE
When you enter into a sleepy, drowsy state, effort is reduced to a minimum. The mind is submerged to great extent when in a sleepy state . The reason for this is that the highest degree of outcropping of the subconscious occurs just prior to sleep and just after we awaken . In this state the negative thoughts, which tend to neutralize your desire and so prevent acceptance by your mind , are no longer present.
Suppose you want to get rid of a destructive habit. Assume a comfortable posture, relax your body, and be still. Get into a sleepy state, and in that sleepy state , say quietly, over and over as a lullaby, "I am completely free from this habit; harmony and peace of mind reign supreme". Repeat these words slowly , quietly, and lovingly for five or ten minutes night and morning . Each time you repeat the word the emotional value becomes greater. When the urge comes to repeat the negative habit, repeat this formula out loud to yourself. By this habit you induced the subconscious to accept the idea, and a healing is follows.
THANK YOU TECHNIQUE
In the Bible, Paul recommends that we make known our requests with praise and thanksgiving. Some extraordinary results follow this simple method of prayer. The thankful heart is always close to the creative forces of the universe, causing countless blessings to flow towards it by the law of reciprocal relationship based on a cosmic law of action and reaction.
Recently a young mother experience with this technique. She said, "I was out of work and broke, with three small children to feed and clothe. I didn't know where to turn. Then I heard someone explain that we should be thankful even before our prayers are answered . It was as if a light had gone on in my mind. I knew I had to try it".
Every night and morning for about three weeks , this woman repeated the words, "Thank you, Father for my wealth." She did this in a relaxed , peaceful manner and continued until the feeling or mood of thankfulness dominated her mind. She imagined she was addressing the infinite power and intelligence within, through she knew of course, that she could not literally see the creative intelligence or infinite mind . She was seeing with the inner eye of spiritual perception, realizing that her thought-feeling was the substance of wealth, untrammeled by antecedent conditions of any kind.
By repeating "Thank you, Father," over and over , the woman's mind and heart were lifted up to the point of acceptance. When thoughts of lack, poverty , and distress came often as necessary . She knew that as she kept up the thankful attitude , she would recondition her mind to idea of wealth. This is exactly what happened .
This mother's prayer had an interesting sequel. Shortly after she began to pray in the way just described , she met a former employer on the street whom she had not seen in five year. The former employer offered her a responsible well-paid position. He even advanced her a temporary loan to tide her over until her first paycheck. As she said"I'll never forget the amazing power of 'Thank you , Father '.It has worked wonders for me."
