Hypnosis Suggestions Daily

As a matter of fact, we have established in preceding pages that the phenomena of hypnosis and hysteria as well as those studied by psychoanalysis, different as they all appear to be, have this in common: they all are largely rooted in activities of the autonomic nervous system. This system is primarily reflexive, controlling and regulating the bodily functions which require no cooperation of consciousness or intellect; yet it is not fully involuntary, as it is continually, almost constantly, influenced by two related types of experience, namely, by emotion and by suggestion. Clearly, McDougall's case can easily be accounted for as a result of inhibition, established and removed by means of verbal suggestion.
