Creative Visualization
Founder: Wallace Wattles
Main books: Wallace Wattles “The Science of Getting Rich”, Shakti Gawain “Creative Visualization: Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Your Life”, Neville Drury “Creative Visualization”, etc.
Number of followers: ???
Creative visualization is a method that allows you to achieve what you want through the power of thought. If you think that everything is fine with you, everything will be fine with you; if you subconsciously expect troubles, they will certainly find you. At the same time, creative visualization is aimed exclusively at yourself - you cannot force another person to do anything using this technique. The task of creative visualization is to eliminate psychological obstacles on the path to your goal.
Many people practice creative visualization famous people, including Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Drew Barrymore and Bill Gates.
Silva method
Founder: Jose Silva
Main books: Jose Silva “Mind Control with the Silva Method” Jose Silva, Robert B. Stone “You are the Healer”, “Getting Help from the “Other Side” with the Silva Method”, Ed Bernd Jr. “Development psychic abilities according to the Silva method”, etc.
Number of followers: 6,000,000 people from 110 countries.
The Silva method was developed by Jose Silva in 1966. His initial goal was to improve his children's performance in school, but he eventually began developing the concept for anyone.
The essence of the method is to reduce the resistance of the human brain. Through meditation, a person can enter a certain state in which he can reprogram his brain.
Essentially, the Silva Method asks you to go into your own subconscious and remove bad habits, rewrite thoughts, even recover from diseases.
The Silva method has gained great popularity in the USA and English-speaking countries. Even after the death of the founder of the method, the Silva International organization continues to develop this psychotechnics.
Transurfing
Founder: Vadim Zeland
Basic books: Vadim Zeland “Transurfing of reality. Stages 1-5”, “Reality Maker”, “Dream Forum”, etc.
Number of followers: Zeeland’s books have been translated into more than 20 languages; a transurfing school was opened in Holland in 2008.
According to Zealand, our world consists of many branches of reality, and which one a person will follow depends only on him. There are no coincidences, because we ourselves subconsciously choose one path or another. The essence of transurfing is the ability to consciously move from one branch to another with the power of thought.
Let's say you're waiting for a bus that's been gone for a long time. If you think that you are late, but the transport still hasn’t arrived, it will happen. But if you start thinking that your bus is about to appear around the corner, then it will certainly arrive.
The more detailed your thought is, the more accurate the description of the “branch” of reality you need, the more likely you are to move to it. If not, you didn’t believe and wait enough.
The teaching is extremely popular, both in Russia and abroad. Another thing is that the hobby of transurfing can be dangerous for a person. It’s one thing to convince yourself that the bus is about to arrive; it’s another thing to try to heal without the help of drugs or doctor’s intervention.
Simoron
Founder: Petra and Peter Burlan
Basic books: Vadim Gurangov, Vladimir Dolokhov “Textbook of Luck”
Number of followers: the VKontakte group of followers alone numbers more than 100,000 people.
The word "simoron" means... nothing. It was entirely invented by Peter and Petra Burlan in 1989, when they created a school of psychotraining, which was aimed at revealing the innate genius of each person, liberating them from an endless circle of problematic situations and conditions. The main tool of the followers of the Simoron school is their imagination.
The founders of the teaching believe that they teach people everyday magic. The main thing for the simoron school is to learn to fantasize and fill your consciousness with elaborate, often absurd images. The school's followers strive to become children again, constantly wondering and learning about the world. In their opinion, a child’s imagination is broader than an adult’s and allows dreams to come true. Like magic.
Today there is only one official simoron school left - Simoron Burlan-do. The rest were closed due to inconsistency with the authors of the teaching, who zealously monitor the copyrights for the “household magic” of simoron.
Book and film "The Secret"
Founder: Rhonda Byrne
Main books: Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret"
Followership: The book has been translated into 40 languages and sold over 19 million copies.
Released in 2006, the film “The Secret” became quite famous not only in the United States, but also abroad. In the wake of the film's popularity, the film's producer, Rhonda Byrne, released a book of the same name with quotes. It's a fairly standard success story, if you close your eyes to the fact that both the film and the book are based on revealing a method that, according to Byrne, can influence the reality around you.
“The Secret” invites the viewer and reader to join, as the authors say, one of the most guarded secrets in history. With the help of the power of thought, you can materialize fears and desires, change your life and even heal. The law of attraction is constantly at work in our lives (not the one that caused Newton to get a bump). According to Bern, because of him, everything similar is attracted. Accordingly, bad thoughts attract bad events. When you think good things, you get good things.
Many people liked this psychotechnics; Bern’s book sold 19 million copies. But many still did not agree with the opinion of the authors of the film and book. Journalists from The Guardian considered the content of the film unethical, since it “... promotes disgusting ideas that disaster victims themselves are to blame for everything.”
Channeling
Founder: Supreme Intelligence
Main books: Walsh Neale Donald “Conversations with God (an unusual dialogue)”, Miller Denis “10 practical steps for finding solutions through the Inner Source”, Hicks Esther, Hicks Jerry “The Law of Attraction”, etc.
Number of followers: Surveys have shown that every tenth American surveyed believes in this psychotechnic.
Channeling is a tricky thing. It is aimed at establishing a “communication channel” between a person, a medium, and certain Higher powers, the Great Mind, who knows everything and is ready to share this knowledge free of charge. All the contactee needs to do is quickly transfer everything he heard onto paper or another storage medium. If a person follows the teachings of voices from above, then his life will become happy and easy, since he will be guided through all obstacles.
Adherents of channeling claim that it has existed for many centuries. The practice of summoning the spirit of the dead and divination are mentioned in the legends and myths of many peoples. In the 18th century, mediumship and “talking with the dead” became fashionable. In the 21st century, channeling has again become a popular trend, with the difference, perhaps, that now people prefer to talk not with long-deceased relatives, but with Higher Powers.
According to channeling practitioners, all prophets and saints were contactees, that the Bible and the Vedas were written precisely through the connection of people with a certain Great Mind, which put the sacred texts in their heads.
Neurolinguistic programming
Founder: Richard Bandler, John Grinder
Basic books: Joseph O'Connor, John Seymore "Introduction to Neuro-Linguistic Programming", Manly Palmer Hall "NLP Training. Increasing the Power of Your Abilities."
Number of followers: ???
NLP is called success modeling technology. Many people want to achieve heights in business or, say, in sports. NLP teaches people to copy the verbal and non-verbal behavior of people who have achieved success in a particular field. Thus, NLP adherents believe, a person takes on part of the success that is inherent in the role model.
As proponents of the method say, NLP will teach you to communicate with people more easily, allow you to achieve success in your business, solve your problems and, ultimately, make you happy. With all this, the authors consider NLP to be a scientific practice.
Here the opinions of Richard Bandler and John Grinder, the authors of the method, differ from the opinions of many other experts. Scientists consider neuro-linguistic programming quackery, Christian church condemned it for using people as “stepping stones” on the path to success, and proponents of ethics generally consider the method dangerous, since it can be used to manipulate people. For example, luring them into various religious sects.
You Can Heal Your Life
Founder: Louise Hay
Main books: Louise Hay “Heal Your Life”, “The Path to healthy life", "Heal yourself", "The power is within us", etc.
Number of followers: Louise Hay's books have been translated into 30 languages. The book “Heal Your Life” was reprinted 110 times, with a total of 50,000,000 copies sold.
According to Louise Hay, the cause of all our ailments lies within ourselves. We are not able to let go of grievances, forgive ourselves for some mistakes, and over time this turns into psychological and sometimes physiological diseases. The essence of Louise Hay's method is to forgive and dissolve your grievances. By healing mentally, you will destroy the source of the disease. According to the author of the books, she was the first to experience the effectiveness of this method when she fought cancer in 1978 without chemotherapy or medical intervention. However, Louise was never able to confirm that she was indeed diagnosed with cancer.
Nevertheless, Louise Hay's books are extremely popular both in the United States and in other countries. The Hay Foundation is engaged in charitable activities in many areas, while simultaneously promoting the ideas of its founder. In 2014, a film was made based on the book “Heal Your Life,” which brought Louise Hay several million dollars in profit.
Don Juan's Teachings
Founder: Carlos Castaneda
Main books: Carlos Castaneda “The Teachings of Don Juan: The Way of Knowledge of the Yaqui Indians”, “A Separate Reality”, “Journey to Ixtlan”, “Tales of Power”, etc.
Number of followers: ??? Perhaps about 10,000,000 people.
Carlos Castaneda became one of the most mysterious personalities of the 20th century. Castaneda tried to appear less in public, not communicate with the press, and forbade photographing himself. His biography has become the subject of hoaxes.
The teachings of Carlos Castaneda, in fact, are not his teachings. The writer wrote it down from the words of a certain “Don Juan,” a magician whom he met in 1960. Castaneda wrote in his books that we do not see the world itself, but only a model of the world created by our perception. The “assemblage point”, the place of the human energy body through which the channels of the external world pass, takes part in creating a picture of the world. Since the location of this point can be changed, there are three types of attention. To achieve the highest, a person needs to achieve impeccability, that is, to abandon the belief in his own immortality, a sense of self-importance and self-pity. The warrior's path requires renunciation, even to the point of erasing one's personal history.
Castaneda's followers practice tensegrity, magical passes that, in their opinion, allow them to influence reality. For a long time they were kept strictly secret and passed on only to those who took the path of the shaman.
Castaneda's teachings became very popular in the United States and the world, giving rise to a large number of critics and imitators.
Holotropic Breathwork
Founder: Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof
Main books: Stanislav Grof “Areas of the Human Unconscious”, “Man in the Face of Death”, “Beyond the Brain”, “Frantic Search for Self”, “Holotropic Consciousness”, etc.
Number of followers: ???
Since the 50s of the 20th century, Stanislav Grof has been researching the psychotherapeutic effect of taking LSD. When experimentation with psychoactive substances began to be banned in the 70s, he developed a technique that gave an effect similar to that of taking LSD. Grof called it holotropic breathing.
Proponents of the method claim that holotropic breathing has an extremely healing effect on people. Music and deep breathing plunge a person into a meditative state for one and a half to two hours. After awakening, the “holonaut” experiences relief, since holotropic breathing frees the subconscious from accumulated emotions and other psychological “trash.”
Moreover, practitioners claim that in the visions that a holonaut sees during a session, one can plunge into the depths of one’s own consciousness, communicate with higher powers, see past lives and relive the moment of birth.
Despite the fact that holotropic breathing is used experimentally in some countries to alleviate the suffering of incurable patients, most of the scientific community does not hesitate to criticize the technique. In their opinion, holotropic breathing leads to a deterioration in brain function, since due to hyperventilation, the level of oxygen in the blood drops and brain cells begin to die. On top of everything else, it’s easy to get hooked on technology, just like LSD.
Gestalt
Founder: Frederick Perls, Laura Perls and Paul Goodman
Main books: Frederick Perls "Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality"
Number of followers: ???
Translated into Russian, “gestalt” means a figure or image. Psychologists understand “gestalt” as some kind of holistic structure. All life consists of such gestalts - from the origin of desire to its satisfaction. And until the gestalt is completed, it seems to slow down a person, preventing him from moving on. Gestalt therapy helps resolve this internal conflict.
The main goal of Gestalt therapy is to restore a person’s contact with himself and others, and gain vital energy. Visualization of feelings and bodily manifestations is achieved through the human imagination. Gestalt followers work with a person's feelings and thoughts in the present, but can use memories for additional effect. The purpose of such sessions is to allow the person to complete the gestalt.
All Gestalt therapy is based on experiments. A person can communicate with an imaginary interlocutor or talk about some real or potential situation. The therapist can intervene in the experiment and guide it. The main thing is that the patient can recognize his own problem and accept it.
Ericksonian hypnosis
Founder: Milton Erickson
Number of followers: ???
It is believed that Ericksonian hypnosis is one of the most effective psychotechniques. With its help, a person concentrates on his internal experiences and gradually falls into a trance, during which breathing and heartbeat slow down. In this state, a person can easily endure a hypnosis session, but most importantly, the person has a choice whether to accept the suggestion or ignore it.
Ericksonian hypnosis also differs from other techniques in that in it the human subconscious is perceived as the source of the body's potential capabilities - health, well-being, achievements, successes, victories, joyful and happy moments. All that is required of a person is to release them.
One of the most simple ways go crazy - try to become yourself. It's about the same as entering a room you're already in. But if you can still leave the room, and then come back in, then become someone else, and then yourself again - you understand... Split personality is guaranteed!
This method is as reliable as it is popular, especially among psychologists and esotericists. The slogan “Be yourself!” Many of them only have it stamped on their foreheads. It is intended, however, for others - as one of the simplest means of healing from all diseases.
I read it and you think: “So, that means I’m not me at all, but someone else... Strange... Ah, I get it! Probably, it means that part of me is me, and part is someone else...” Well, it’s not far from “voices”. Simple, like everything ingenious. It seems that there is nothing more to write about, and so everything is clear. But the mechanism of such “self-crazyness” is so universal and perfect that I would like to admire it even a little more. This is surprising, but why doesn’t such a simple thought occur to a person: in me, dissatisfied with myself, there is not someone else sitting with whom I am dissatisfied, and all this is me, simply dissatisfied with myself? Ha-ha, “simple” - you feel how you start to think about it, this is where it begins?.. Not a mechanism, but just a miracle! There is even a scientific name - “self-reflection”. I am watching myself... And which of us is real??? Well, as modern youth say, “inserts”? But that's not all.
The implication is that becoming oneself is a process. And here the question arises: has it already become, or not yet? and how much? So that the reader does not go crazy already in the process of reading this text, let’s look at the example of “entering a room.” I'm walking down the corridor. I went to the door. Opened it. He raised his foot... He stepped on. Now another... That's it! I'm in the room! How can you prove it? “I swear to my mother!” won't suit you. Well, after all, he stepped over the threshold - look, here he is!
Let's return to “becoming yourself.” I tensed up, relaxed, meditated, visited a psychotherapist (walked down the corridor). He got closer... He raised his leg... Where is the threshold? After all, I spent so much effort! This means it has changed in the right direction... Where is the threshold??? Ugh, damn it, I became myself, I became! I swear to my mom!!! Oh, who’s that nervous there? I’m not so nervous now, am I?
I think if you have read this far, then your psyche is strong, and you can continue. So, another tricky question: am I changing at all or not? He is not as idle as he might seem at first glance. From my psychotherapeutic practice, I can say that every third client asks it every three meetings. So I come to you, but does anything change in me? Yes or no? Hooray! We are already on the verge of madness again! Didn't notice? Then answer the question: what if there is at least something in this world that does not change over time? Or have we stopped time? But this is exactly how the question is posed - almost no one asks WHAT has changed in me. It’s the same with “self-becoming”: I become him, myself? Instead of asking WHAT EXACTLY about myself doesn’t suit me and HOW MUCH I have progressed in changing MYSELF, and not the other “living” in me.
Well, do you really have strong nerves? Then I will deliver the final “blow to the psyche.” There is an old paradox: what is reflected in the mirror when there is no one next to it? Not bad, right? And now for lovers of “self-formation”: when you sleep and don’t even dream, are you yourself? If yes, then the search for yourself could end here - just sleep more!
And one last thing. If you decide to drive someone you know crazy, and your words “Be yourself!” he simply ignored it, let him read this text, it should help...
For many, the worse thing than death is the loss of reason. IN modern world, especially in major cities, people are susceptible to neuroses and obsessive states. For compatriots whose childhood was in the 1990s, things are even sadder. Their parents, due to the political and economic situation in the country, were under constant stress. This was reflected in the attitude towards children. The result was problems with setting personal boundaries and low self-esteem.
Errors in brain activity threaten complete personality degradation. How do you know if you're going crazy? What are the first signs of a personality disorder? What does an abnormal person look like in modern reality?
Dream
How does a person go crazy? The first sign for a healthy person is loss of sleep. People suffering from mental disorders note the disappearance of sleep as the first and strangest thing. It does not decrease, become alarming or intermittent. It just disappears completely. At the same time, the person feels cheerful, as if everything is in order.
During sleep hours, the brain rests, erases unnecessary information, processes and remembers important information. Without rest, all processes in the brain slow down. A person loses the boundaries between dreams and reality. Deprivation begins. Please note: if you don’t feel like sleeping at all, but good health and vigor have not left you, there is something to think about.
Fear
Most real patients with schizophrenia have encountered this phenomenon. Fear comes in tides. This phenomenon is also called panic attacks. It is uncontrollable and all-consuming. Covers and keeps for several hours. Often a person cannot even explain what exactly he is afraid of, because he is afraid of everything.
How do you know if you're going crazy? It's scary to be alone or go into the dark. There may be a fear of leaving the apartment or getting out from under the blanket. Any sound causes panic and horror. This is a sign that “the roof has leaked,” and there is a good reason to consult a psychiatrist.
Irritability
Sudden aggression is also a sign of possible insanity. Psychosis out of nowhere, outbursts at relatives over trifles or for no reason at all. At the same time, a person may not be aware of the inadequacy of his own behavior. How do you know if you're going crazy? It seems that these are ordinary domestic squabbles, “like everyone else.” Only aggressive attacks become more and more frequent and the reasons become more and more ridiculous. And the person begins to swear more and more sophisticatedly, using profanity. He is unable to control himself at these moments.
Thoughts
Beginners are characterized by an uncontrollable flow of thoughts. There are several development options here:
1. The brain clings to some thought and actively “thinks” it. A person is constantly focused on the same thing. For example, on a carpet on the wall. He thinks about what patterns are on it, what color it is, and so on. The brain can cling to a specific person and think about him constantly. With a mental disorder, a person forgets at this moment about what he was doing before the sudden thoughtfulness appeared. Being fixated on the same subject for a long time and the inability to switch attention is another bell and a reason to think about your own adequacy.
2. Absence of any thoughts. Absolute emptiness. I don’t want to remember anything, do anything, dream about anything. Time seems to stop and flow very slowly. A person is in a vacuum of his own consciousness.
3. No focus. The thought does not linger in the head. Consciousness jumps from one object to another, which makes a person very tired. It is impossible to control the process and concentrate too.
Physical state
At the moment a person is immersed in one of the states described above, sweating is observed. My hands are getting cold, my temples are pounding. Symptoms are also observed in those who have a tendency towards manic attachment to something. So, when performing some action, for example, when computer game, you begin to shake or your hands shake and cold sweat appears. Everything inside freezes, and the surrounding reality disappears - this is a symptom of an obvious psychological crisis. The help of a psychiatrist is needed.
Control
The main thing that distinguishes, for example, a psychic and a madman is the ability to influence their state. How do you know if you're going crazy? If a person with psychic abilities deliberately puts himself into a state of hypnosis or trance, then the madman has no power over his behavior.
A person with superpowers is able to both enter and exit a trance. At the same time, he retains the ability to think during the process and not give in to panic after leaving hypnosis. Man with initial stage mental disorder does not control one's own behavior. Often attacks take him by surprise, and he can cause damage to those around him. It comes out of a crisis as suddenly as it fell into it. In this case, emotional consequences of attacks are likely. A person panics over what happened to him and does not understand what to do next.
Hallucinations
This symptom is the surest way to determine that it is time to see a doctor. Hallucinations come in different types of perception:
1. Auditory. Almost all patients in a psychiatric clinic hear extraneous voices in their heads. It can be absolutely anyone. U normal person Only the inner self sounds in my head. This is a common phenomenon; while thinking, we talk to ourselves. There is no pathology in this.
How do you know if you're going crazy? It's sad when an outside voice starts giving advice or conducting dialogue. It happens that animals or objects begin to talk. Here you should be wary and urgently undergo an examination.
2. Visual. People with mental disorders are more likely to experience creepy hallucinations. The appearance of devils and living creatures from walls and windows is a standard phenomenon for this type of disease. Naturally, this is terrifying, but there are also beautiful hallucinations. Colorful trees, flying animals. You should also not get carried away with the spectacular spectacle; the doctor will help you get rid of them.
3. Tactile. The sick person feels as if someone is touching him. Pulling hair or limbs. It is common for a person with a mental disorder to feel dirty or dirty. How can you tell if a person is going crazy? Endless hand washing, rubbing the skin until it bleeds, or scratching the skin are clear signs of an incipient nervous system disease.
Attitude towards yourself
If there are signs that you are watching yourself from the outside. Everything that happens is not done to you. Man watching own life from outside. Feels like controlling a doll. This condition is difficult to explain; depersonalization of the individual occurs. This is how the brain tries to protect itself from destruction. A person seems to know everything in advance about himself and others. Life becomes uninteresting.
Apathy
Everyone feels sad sometimes; a crisis may occur due to life circumstances. How do you know when you're starting to go crazy? If you become self-absorbed and don’t leave the house, eat or drink water, this is a symptom of a personality disorder. The condition is provoked by global changes in life: death loved one, divorce, collapse of hopes. As a rule, apathy is followed by loss of sleep. If this is exactly what happened, there is a reason to visit a specialist.
Sometimes depression comes out of nowhere. Everything is fine in the family, and life is smooth, but the state of sadness and melancholy does not go away. A person cannot cope with it on his own; loved ones can help.
Mania
The state of manic disorder is fraught with danger to others. Delusions of grandeur: safe, there are inflated demands on others in relation to oneself. The demand for worship or the indisputability of one's own genius. Considering modern realities, this feeling is common to many. The costs of post-Soviet upbringing, when children's permissiveness and impunity grew into a sense of their own exclusivity and excessive importance. The border between adequate and manic states is very weak. How do you know if you're crazy? It is important to control self-esteem and not transfer it to an inadequate state.
The phenomenon of persecution mania is widespread. A person with the initial stage of the disease feels like he is being watched. He tries to hide from prying eyes, hides and avoids society. At home, he feels like someone is watching him.
It also appears in relation to other people. The person himself becomes a persecutor. “Catches” another on the street, watches from the side and interferes in private life. Pursues people with certain general features. This is how classic maniacs behave, there is an urgent reason to consult a psychiatrist.
To avoid the manifestation of inadequate brain reactions to what is happening around you, you need to train it. Periodic changes in activity, rest and new experiences are a lifeline for a workaholic.
If a person, due to circumstances, does not work or is lonely, he needs to find a hobby. Get a pet or do charity work. Helping others will distract you from focusing on your own personality and relieve brain activity. If there is a sudden manifestation of “extrasensory” abilities or uncontrollable conditions, you must immediately consult a doctor.
Finally
Before diagnosing yourself with mental personality disorder syndromes, think about whether it might just be fatigue. The fast pace of life and workload, a sad event or banal boredom, affect brain activity, which is why people go crazy. Gray matter gets tired from continuous work and from lack of load too. For prevention mental disorders change your environment, travel. Doing what you love will help, if it is not stalking another person, and it does not lead to tachycardia and cold sweat.
Some of the listed symptoms are a clear reason to immediately consult a doctor. But often the future patient himself is not aware of the abnormalities or believes that everything is fine with him. The reasons are different, but there is only one solution for loved ones. Pay attention to the state of your loved ones, especially in moments of crisis or lack of activity. The help of a loved one often saves you from ending up in a room with soft walls.
You can go crazy in 15 minutes
WASHINGTON, October 22. Just 15 minutes of being in sensory deprivation (that is, in the complete absence of external stimuli) is enough for people to begin hallucinating. As Lenta.Ru reports, American scientists came to these conclusions based on the results of the experiment.
As part of the study, experts placed 19 volunteers one at a time in a dark, soundproof room. All participants in the experiment underwent preliminary selection, the purpose of which was to analyze the volunteers’ tendency to hallucinate. As a result, people were selected who were least and most predisposed to such things.
It turned out that 15 minutes is enough for completely healthy people who are not prone to hallucinations to begin to see things that are not in reality. Thus, out of the entire group, five participants saw faces, and six saw incomprehensible shapes. Some participants noted an increased sense of smell, and two felt the presence of “something terrible” in the room.
Scientists believe that the reason for the occurrence of such temporary disorders is the lack of receipt of the usual level of information in human brain. This is indicated, for example, by a heightened sense of smell.
According to scientists, their experiment was inspired by the results of American psychologist John Lilly.
Let us recall that in 1954 Lilly decided to find out how the human psyche reacts to the shutdown of all senses. Especially for this, he came up with the so-called sensory deprivation chamber. This device was a large soundproof tank filled with water. During the experiments, Lily swam for many hours in water with a temperature matching his body temperature, in complete darkness and absolute silence.
After some time in the cell, the scientist began to hallucinate. From a psychological point of view, these hallucinations were difficult to classify, so the study was stopped due to the lack of scientific results. A few years later, Lilly founded Samadhi Tanks, which began producing sensory deprivation chambers for home use. The scientist died in 2001 with the status of a modern spiritual guru.
