The phenomenon that we call "hypnosis" has always existed in nature. It is known that the snake, hunting, with a look forces its victim to stumble, and the ancient fakirs evoked in people bright bizarre visions into which they believed as if they were real. At that time the term "hypnosis" was not yet available. He appeared in the scientific literature in the middle of the 19th century, first used by the English physician Bred. From Greek, "hypnosis" means sleep.
Modern science explains the phenomenon of hypnosis as a special state of the psyche, which is somewhat like a dream after a physiological characteristic, and in psychological terms it is manifested by a decrease in the patient's critical assessment of the situation and a sharp increase in the influence of the verbal punishment of the hypnologist on him. In such a state, a person perceives the suggestion being made with a therapeutic purpose, and this gives a good therapeutic effect. So a calm monotonous mother's lullaby is not so far from hypnotism ... When hypnosis is necessary, the patient can adjust to one psychoenergetic wave with a doctor. It is very important.
In ancient times in the East, suggestion and self-suggestion were used - in cult ceremonies, for treatment and even in creative activity. These phenomena were then studied by occult, that is, secret science.
A special place among them was occupied by Yoga, where sophisticated methods of self-perfection, psychic self-regulation, including with a therapeutic purpose, were used. Popular now are the eastern methods of healing with the help of yoga exercises, wushu, and gypsy. These methods have passed the centuries-old test and without a doubt they can be considered reliable. Indo-Tibetan medicine and its associated health-improvement systems are today the object of careful study in many scientific centers of the world. This is a real treasure of theoretical and practical knowledge. But not all the recommendations of ancient specialists are accepted today by medicine. It is necessary to rethink them from the point of view of modern conditions, needs and opportunities of the person. Secondly, unfortunately, a lot of self-styled "teachers" appeared, that it's very difficult for a common person to understand where the truth is, and where profanity and fraud are. It's time to create scientific and practical centers where experienced specialists could study, modernize and use the ancient methods, develop new, modern modifications of them that correspond to real living conditions.
In Europe in the 18th century was the very famous name of Mesmer, with which the associated concept of magnetic fluid. It was Franz Anton Mesmer who put forward the idea of the existence of a magnetic fluid - a mysterious cosmic force that lurks in the universe and saturates everything around. He claimed that he has a large supply of this power and can heal diseases with it.
The so-called superposition of hands, contactless massage, which is much talked about and written today, is also known for a long time. Pay attention: after hitting, you certainly put your hand on the place where it hurts, stroking it. And the child will fall ill or cry from the pain - the mother will take him in her arms, press her to her heart, and the child will feel better. This is the manifestation of the natural impact of psychic energy inherent in every human being. It is from the limbs that this force can be radiated from the eye in a concentrated form, and already the heart is its real cell. It accumulates in some other centers. One of the varieties of psychic energy is the biofield. Even during the ancient civilizations, it was known about the complex structure of the human body, that there is not only a physical, but also a so-called subtle body. The structure of biological, bodily manifestations of human life is called a biofield. And these are electrical, magnetic, thermal, biochemical and other components, the essence and interaction of which are being studied today. Pressing on certain points of the body, the so-called acupressure, produces healing effects also due to the action of psychic energy. This method of acupressure was born more than five thousand years ago. It is based on the principle of pressing the tip of your finger on the special "life points" of the body. There are more than a thousand such points, but in practice, of course, they use one hundred and fifty. With acupressure, complex reflex physiological processes take place. With a careful study of "biologically active" points, it is established that, depending on the mode of action on them, the energy balance in the body is established, the nervous system is stimulated or calmed, the blood supply is improved, the nutrition of the internal organs, the glands of internal secretion is regulated, the pain decreases, the state of the psychoemotional sphere is normalized .
