The Power of Autosuggestion

Autosuggestion involves intentionally directing specific beliefs or statements to oneself. Joseph Murphy illustrates this with various stories, including a young singer who overcame her fear of failure by constantly telling herself, 'I sing beautifully, I am poised, serene, confident and calm.' This positive reinforcement altered her subconscious mind's negative programming, leading to a confident and successful audition. Murphy emphasizes that autosuggestion can dramatically shift one's experiences by reprogramming subconscious beliefs and fears. 'Whatever the conscious, reasoning mind of man believes; the subconscious mind will accept and act upon.'
