Psychology

Hypnosis is a method or technique of psychological suggestion. However, there are essential differences between hypnosis and psychological suggestion: hypnosis makes people's consciousness enter a relatively weakened state and exposes the subconscious, which can only be realized by psychotherapists; However, psychological suggestion is completely different-so psychological suggestion is the most common and has many applications. We accept and convey psychological hints every day, and we are making self-hints all the time.

Human cognition and application of psychological suggestion and self-suggestion have roughly gone through three stages: religion, new thought movement (religious deformation under modern mechanical materialism) and applied psychology.

Meditation, yoga, qigong and meditation in religion are all psychological suggestion techniques. In this regard, we should have a scientific attitude and correctly explain people's suggestibility. The physical and mental movement flourished at the beginning of last century, and a large number of physical and mental writers appeared. Today's bestseller Secret and Power is another peak of physical and mental movement. The rise and continuation of physical and mental movement is mainly due to the scientific tendency of abandoning materialism in Europe and America, but we have to admit that the binding force of religion is getting smaller and smaller.
