Description

 The invention relates to psychotherapy and can be used by a person in everyday life to program his own subconscious, to acquire a predisposition to useful actions and habits, to combat bad habits (smoking, etc.).

 In coordination with the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the invention can be used according to the instructions of psychotherapists for psychotherapeutic treatment of people.

 There is a known method of self-hypnosis according to Bekhterev: for each individual case, a certain verbal formula of self-hypnosis should be developed in advance, which should correspond to this case and be pronounced on its own behalf in the affirmative form and in the present, and not in the future tense. Such a formula should be pronounced in an undertone many times, preferably before bedtime and in the morning immediately after waking up, and moreover with full concentration on it. In the Coue method: prolonged whispering of a formula suitable for a particular case, drawn up in positive and categorical terms, should not be done with full concentration on it, as in Ankylosing spondylitis, but rather, automatically, with a tongue twister, in a state of complete passivity and so-called voidness of consciousness (if possible, do not think about anything at the time when self-hypnosis is carried out) [1].

 Known methods require volitional efforts and time-consuming passivity, which complicates their regular and massive use.

 There is a known technique for conducting suggestions in a wakeful state, according to which the patient is recommended to sit in a comfortable position or, even better, lie down. At the same time, he is advised to relax all the muscles of his body, close his eyes and, if possible, throw away extraneous thoughts and carefully listen to the formula [2].

 Known devices with which suggestion is carried out are communication means: tape recorders, radio, television. Known devices contain memory elements of a verbal formula, consisting of a playback unit and an emitter of an audio signal [2].

 The disadvantage of this method and device is that they require a special environment, space, allocation of special time for this, and most importantly the cost of volitional efforts of the patient and time for preparatory exercises.

 The purpose of the invention is the impact on the human subconscious without volitional efforts and the allocation of special time for this.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that in the known method, which consists in developing a verbal formula of suggestion for each individual case, writing it to a device that reproduces it multiple times and listening, the latter is carried out around the clock by means of the device until the corresponding predominance of thoughts and their objective execution occurs.

 For better susceptibility and to eliminate the feeling of discomfort, the user can adjust the speed and volume.

 This goal is also achieved by the fact that the device for implementing the method of influencing the human subconscious, containing memory elements of the verbal formula, consisting of a playback unit and a block of an emitter of an audio signal, is made in the form of a device worn on the user's body and reproducing the verbal formula of suggestion around the clock. Moreover, in order to reduce the dimensions of the device and its power consumption, the blocks are made of digital electronics and contain a recording unit in the form of a programmer, a memory unit, as a random access memory and a digital-to-analog converter. In addition, the device is equipped with speed and volume controls.

 Around-the-clock listening ensures the use of the body's natural conditions favorable for suggestion (muscle relaxation, sleep), which naturally occur during the day. The possibility of using a listening device through the tissues of the body provides freedom of the organs of hearing for life and secrecy from environmental conditions. This can significantly increase the regularity and, accordingly, the effectiveness of suggestion.

 Example. For the case when a person is critical of his smoking habit, an appropriate verbal formula is developed, expressed in positive and categorical terms, for example, “Quit smoking”.

 For the case when a person is critical of his shyness, a formula of suggestion is developed, for example, "Become sociable."

 For the case when you need to learn something, for example, a foreign language, but you do not have enough willpower and time, a suggestion formula is developed, for example, "Learn English".

 For other cases, appropriate verbal formulas are developed.

 The generated verbal formula is recorded in a device that reproduces it multiple times, after which the recorded formula is listened to. The device is placed on the user's body (if it is a bracelet on his hand, a pendant on his neck, a clip on his ear, etc.). Listening is carried out around the clock, until the corresponding prevalence of thoughts and their objective execution. In the event of a feeling of discomfort and susceptibility of the user, the volume and loudness are adjusted. During sleep, the inconvenience of wearing the device occurs, then it is removed and located next to the user.

 The drawing shows a device for implementing the proposed method.

 The device consists of an analog to digital converter 1, a recording unit 2 (programmer), a memory unit 3, a control unit 4 with a speed control, a digital-to-analog converter unit 5, an analog signal amplifier 6 with a volume control, an audio emitter 7, the blocks being made in the form of a serial connection. The device can be made in the form of an object worn on the body (bracelet, pendant, clip, etc.).

 If necessary, the device can be made in the form of a kit consisting of an independent element, including an analog to digital converter 1 and a recording unit 2 (programmer), and which can be supplied in a single quantity, and a device consisting of blocks 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, made in the form of a serial connection worn on the body. The number of instruments worn on the body in the kit must comply with the contract with the customer.

 The device operates as follows.

 The recording unit 2 is turned on, the selected verbal formula is entered into the recording unit 2, the typed phrase is transferred from the memory of the recording unit 2 to the memory unit 3. The recording unit 2 is turned on. Then the device is placed on the body (if it is a bracelet on the hand, if the pendant is on the neck etc.), the phrase is turned on and listened, around the clock until the corresponding prevalence of thoughts and their objective execution occurs, then the device turns off and is removed from the body.

 A critical attitude of most people to their habits and properties of the psyche can give a steady demand for a device to implement a method of influencing the subconscious, and using the method will allow most people to engage in self-improvement.
