How to develop personal magnetism. Natural human magnetism: how it manifests itself and how to develop

Van Tail Daniels

Personal magnetism (course of lectures)

INTRODUCTION

“Personal magnetism is that quality or property of a person that attracts to him the interest, trust, friendship and love of other people.”

At the same time, it was mainly meant that the reader could use the results of studying the proposed lectures immediately, immediately, while the acquired knowledge can serve personal benefit. But not when hopes disappear and the strength to enjoy life runs out - when even an initiate in the secret can no longer use it to achieve personal success.

Students of this course claim that the author achieved his goal. They even say that the strict avoidance of all theoretical speculation in these lectures was very conducive to the rapid understanding and successful application of the main points presented, and that the present course can therefore count on much more success than many other more pretentious, but also more ambiguous and confused. essays on the subject, containing incomprehensible and disconnected provisions.

Relying, therefore, on the testimony of readers, the author does not find it necessary to justify the simple and conversational tone of this manual he deliberately adopted.

I take it for granted that men and women have the same desire to influence others.

This power of influence can bring a man power, power, wealth, happiness; to a woman she will give public respect, popularity, self-satisfaction, love. It must be said clearly and definitely that there is such a desire good wish. There is nothing demeaning in the desire to influence others. There is nothing unworthy in the desire for wealth, since wealth in itself is only a means to raise our own usefulness. Turning back twenty years or more, you will remember that the eminent and powerful men and women of the world have been cited to you as examples to emulate.

They were shining lights in the eyes of people older than you. Your parents and mentors spoke of them with respect and wished that you would follow only their path and reach the same height as they did. Were they not delusional in estimating human character so highly? I don't think so. The great minds of the world should constantly stand before us in full splendor, and the analysis and understanding of the character of one of the great people explains to us the secret of their worldly wisdom, which made their life so sublime and full of charm. May I be allowed to reveal to you the secret of their success.

In the first three lectures of this course, I will try to illuminate some of the general, basic features of the doctrine of personal magnetism. This will prepare you for further special study.

POWER RECOGNITION. - REPLACEMENT BATTERY. - AVAILABILITY OF SPIRITUAL CURRENT

POWER RECOGNITION. I want to talk to you sincerely and frankly. If, however, my simple similitudes offend the super-scientist, then I ask him to postpone his sentence until he thoroughly understands this manual and can observe the effect of the teaching contained here in its application to everyday life. I speak for the majority in the language of easy and understandable comparisons, since every average, ordinary person, ordinary woman needs only facts. The general public does not demand scientific reasoning, but above all the improvement of its own position.

REPLACEMENT BATTERY. Perhaps the thought did not occur to you that you yourself (your body) are a kind of permanent electric battery, continuously either receiving or releasing power from yourself. This battery constantly produces attractive and repulsive currents. These currents are felt at times, for example, if you wish to impress others; sometimes they do not confess, for example, in cases where you, in addition to own desire and consciousness make a pleasant or unpleasant impression on others. Continuously and constantly, either you act (influence) others, or others influence you, whether it is by your will or against it, it doesn't matter. This is the first fact you need to know.

AVAILABILITY OF SPIRITUAL CURRENT. Here the presence of the work of force is obvious.

But is it the power of thinking?

No. Because the presence of this force is revealed even without a conscious thought on your part. However, perhaps, thinking partly plays a role here as well.

Isn't it electricity?

But electricity is only a name for a force unknown to us.

What is it?

This force is called magnetism, because we do not know how to call it otherwise. But it is best to call it a spiritual current, because in many ways it can be likened to electric current. We can learn to use and control electricity without knowing the essence of the latter. The origin and source of power is a mystery to us. But we will accept it simply as a secret of nature, and pass on to the study of the use of this power.

PROPERTIES OF A MAGNETIC PERSON. - A FEELING OF CALM. STRANGE LOOK. - ALWAYS POLITE. - THE WEAK WILL BE WEAKER. STRONG - STRONGER. - A MAGNETIC MAN KEEPS HIS KNOWLEDGE TO HIMSELF. - HE WORKS ACCORDING TO CERTAIN LAWS. - YOU ARE LOCATED FOR HIM. -HE USES YOUR POWER

PROPERTIES OF A MAGNETIC PERSON. Our first step will be to critically observe the working of the power that the people around us are exercising; we will also examine the essential differences in its character and the logical consequences that follow from its known properties.

We all know the type of magnetic personality - male or female - it doesn't matter, because women are just as susceptible to magnetism as men. I note once and for all that everything said about men applies equally to women. As regards the attainment of magnetism associated with influence, both sexes are quite equal.

FEELING OF CALM. If you are in the company of a magnetic person, the first impression you get from such a person is a sense of calm. He is neither nervous nor agitated. In addition to this calmness, you will notice in him a kind of reserve force, contained somewhere in him, but you cannot tell where it is and what it consists of. It is not in his look, nor in his manners, it is not in his language and in his actions. But this force is an essential point: it is a part of it, and a few minutes ago, however strange it may seem to you, it (this force) was to a large extent a part of you! Some part of this attractive force, which he developed and which you were formerly aware of in yourself, has now passed from you to him without your knowledge. But we'll talk more about this later.

The magnetic person often gets his strength from others.

STRANGE LOOK. Let me now look more closely at this person to find the reason for the charm he produces on you. First of all, pay attention to his eyes. His eyes are not directly focused on you. He does not look into one or the other eye, but directly between both eyes at the bridge of the nose. His sharp, hard look seems piercing to you, but not at all defiant. You feel that he is not insolent and cannot even be so. Notice also that he does not look at you when he talks. He waits, as if wishing to know first your opinion and then to tell you his own. When he speaks, he looks at you attentively, as if, we would like to say, considering something, however, benevolently. He is not arrogant, but he also does not like unnecessary disputes.

To a certain extent, the achievement of success in life (in different cultures it is understood differently) depends, among other things, on the individual charisma of the individual. This word is understood as a kind of personal (including sexual) magnetism, that is, the ability of a person to attract other people to himself, convince them, influence them and control them, subordinating them to his will (it does not matter at all, gently and gradually or directive and authoritarian). Of course, people are not equally endowed with this quality, but everyone is endowed with a certain amount of charisma.

It should be noted that the magnetism of personality can be developed by increasing the power of thought. With a certain strength and concentration, a person is able to do the almost impossible and broadcast (sometimes even silently) his thoughts, involving others in his energy field. Of course, for this you need to have a strong will and fortitude.

How to develop personal magnetism?

To do this, you need to “grow”, that is, thoroughly engage in the creation of your own harmonious personality. A harmonious person necessarily (one might say automatically) attracts other people. He not only can draw them into his energy field and control them, such people are loved.

Every person has a spirit, soul and body. All three components must be brought into a state of harmony. You need to develop continuously, carefully analyzing yourself, what is happening and what is being observed.

In Western psychology, in various Eastern teachings, and even in the traditions of primitive cultures, various ways of achieving personal harmony, increasing personal and sexual magnetism are described. Everyone can choose what is closer to him. To different people suitable for different methods.

In all practices, three very important points can be distinguished.

1. Every person who wants to increase his personal magnetism, that is, to strengthen his spirit and develop psychic strength, must go through the experience of a sufficiently long loneliness. This can be considered in some sense a spiritual initiation.
2. Everyone who wants to become a strong spirit must face the situation of overcoming serious life difficulties and stop being afraid of death.
3. To broadcast a thought, one needs not only high concentration and depth, but also clarity of thought. Who thinks clearly, speaks clearly. To do this, it is not enough to be unbiased. We must be able to analyze, we must be able to look at the situation with different eyes and from different positions. That is, one should be able to move away from the subject of thought (alienate, not experience emotions and passions).

In general, you should educate yourself. We must learn to think. In addition, of course, it is necessary to develop intelligence. Also, the idea must be flexible. A person who wants to influence others must be able to quickly navigate the situation.

More important point for a person who wants to increase . You have to be able to look a certain way. It concerns appearance, perfume, clothing, plastics and movement dynamics. This also applies to the voice and the ability to speak. Work on yourself, read relevant literature, analyze any materials on the topic, improve yourself, and you will definitely achieve improvements.

Many people have a completely natural question: how to protect yourself from the magnetic influence of others?

The best way to protect yourself from the magnetism of another person is to have your own magnetism. As we already know, for this you need to seriously and constantly work on yourself.

Well, how to protect yourself from the influence of others in a practical situation?

In general, learn to refuse and stand your ground. To do this, you just need to realize yourself as a free and independent person.

Some people never go unnoticed. It seems that they have a powerful magnet hidden inside that attracts others. It is impossible to understand the reason for this. An ordinary person with an ordinary appearance arouses increased interest in people. Everything is drawn to him. Everyone wants to be his friend.

What is magnetism

Human - is the ability to cause the location of others. Attract their friendship, trust and love. The ability to influence and manipulate them.

The magnetism of a person helps him to achieve goals easily and quickly. Such people are successful, they find mutual language even with conflicting leaders and are able to completely subordinate them to their influence.

When a person with magnetism begins to speak, everyone around immediately falls silent. He usually doesn't even raise his voice and talks rather quietly. And listeners try not to breathe so as not to miss a single word.

People with magnetism are always calm and confident. They are not nervous and excited. Anyone who is nearby feels their inner strength. It does not manifest itself openly, it will not be possible to notice it in actions or a glance. However, it is also impossible not to feel it.

They talk little and always to the point. Interlocutors listen carefully. Under the outward calmness of such people, an incredible will is usually hidden. Everyone who associates with a magnetic person feels that it is impossible to suppress him. The interlocutor himself falls under his influence.

Independent development of magnetism

Some people are lucky and are born with certain qualities of character. They begin to appear in childhood and intensify in adolescence. Such individuals stand out strongly among their peers.

It is not easy to develop human magnetism on your own, but it is possible. To do this, you will have to work on yourself properly, engage in self-development. First of all, you should remember that those around you are always sensitive to pretense. You shouldn't try to be someone else. It's important to be yourself. The original is always more valuable than the copy.

Any rule can be deviated from. If there is a personality with outstanding qualities, they can be adopted, but over time, changing to fit your image.

Man's magnetism allows him to become a leader. At the same time, such a person does not even need to compete for seniority. Surrounding intuitively recognize this and concede without a fight. While a screaming, arguing and demanding attention to his person, a person will never achieve the respect of society. Therefore, it is necessary to learn in any situation and think soberly. Only losers and weaklings get hysterical and panic.

Magnetic personalities understand people well and know how to influence them. To learn this, you will need to study a lot of literature on psychology. For example, take a look at these authors:

• Eric Bern;
• Tina Sealing;
• Edward de Bono;
• John Gray;
• Martin Selingman;
• Alfred Adler;
• Susan Weinshenk;
• Robert Chaldini.

In addition, people should be observed. Listen more, but say as little as possible.

Getting rid of negative thoughts

Success in life, the ability to convince others and a career depend on the ability of a person to attract and conquer the right people. Every individual has a body, spirit and soul. To be successful, all three of these must be in harmony. Only in this case, a person will have a strong positive energy.

In the psychology of Eastern and esoteric teachings, different ways, allowing to achieve harmony and strengthen the magnetism of a person. Some options are really difficult to implement for most people. For example, one of the ways to develop psychic strength and strengthen the spirit involves prolonged solitude and overcoming serious life difficulties.

Not everyone can take on such challenges. Therefore, you can choose another way. It is often said that a person is what he thinks about. And this is true. By directing his thought process in the right direction, a person can evolve to unimaginable heights. And choosing the wrong direction, the individual degrades.

Psychologists advise people who dream of becoming successful to think positively. Radiate only confident and positive mental vibrations. It attracts vibrations of the same kind. As a result, your self-confidence will increase every day. In addition, there will be more and more positive changes in life.

Confidence and independence

A charismatic person cannot be insecure. Many people try to hide their flaw and this makes it even more noticeable to others. It is better to recognize it and accept it, trying to gradually work on it.

There are many ways to become a more confident person. For example, go in for sports and improve your body. This usually boosts self-esteem. In addition, you can try the following methods:

• every day before going to bed, praise yourself even for small successes;
• never think of yourself in a negative way;
• it is important to realize your strengths, make a list of those that still need to be developed;
• you need to monitor your posture, a confident person does not slouch;
• it is useful to establish new contacts and restore old ones;
• speak publicly whenever possible;
• during a conversation, look to a person at a point between the eyes, above the bridge of the nose.

In addition, it should be remembered that the magnetism of a person attracts others to him, and not the individual runs after them. Therefore, you should not impose and passionately desire the company of other people. Over time, they themselves will want to be around. Since a person is always interested in what is not available.

The ancient Egyptian queen was not only beautiful woman but also an excellent diplomat. There is evidence that she had great political influence. To do this, the woman used the following techniques:

• in communication she was friendly with everyone, not singling out anyone in particular;
• not afraid to seem ridiculous and admit mistakes;
• during a conversation she never interrupted the interlocutor, listening to him very carefully;
• at the next meeting, regardless of when it took place, she remembered all the details of the conversation;
• talking on important topics did not flirt and did not pretend;
• made others feel knowledgeable and smart;
• I noticed the skills and talents of everyone.

Protection from foreign magnetism

The influence of magnetism on a person is very great. Some use their talent to harm, shamelessly manipulating other people. In order not to become a victim of such a scam, you need to know how to protect yourself from it.

1. When charismatic person convinces to do something, you need to take a break and soberly assess the situation. Think about what consequences this can lead to. Agree only if the case is profitable.
2. Pay attention to the tone and meaning of the statement. Be sure to check the information and do not take a word.
3. In the case when there is not enough courage and willpower to confront the enemy, pretend that his requests are incomprehensible. You need to ask for detailed explanations. This will give you the opportunity to come to your senses and assess the situation.

William Atkinson's popular book, The Power of Thought, or Magnetism of Personality, invites everyone to familiarize themselves with 15 lessons that allow you to influence other people. It is not surprising that this book quickly gained success: almost every person dreams of having the gift of persuasion and being able to get his own from other people. However, the great power of thought can be used not only according to Atkinson's instructions.

Natural human magnetism

Some people naturally have magnetism - a special ability to effortlessly attract the attention of others, to seem to them an authoritative, mysterious, alluring person, to be a secret that you want to touch. The magnetic personality, as a rule, does not know where this power over the minds of people comes from, but quickly learns to use it to advantage.

It is not difficult to recognize such a person: he attracts, inspires confidence, he feels a huge inner strength. You will never see such a person doubting his words - his confidence comes through in his eyes, conversations, gestures. As a rule, people are drawn to magnetic personalities, they are respected, their opinions are listened to.

How to use the power of thought?

Even if you are not among those lucky ones who are endowed with magnetism from birth, you may well achieve what you want no less successfully. The power of thought will help in love, career, personal growth and absolutely any field of activity. It is important to learn how to use it correctly.

For example, you want to gain popularity, you want people to reach out to you, ask for your advice. In this case, you need to work on your beliefs and behavior, and the power of thought will help you achieve what you want.

Consider if you have any negative beliefs. For example: “People never like me”, “no one loves me”, “I don’t look 100”. Any belief that is stuck in your head, the brain perceives as a command. As a result, you pay attention only to those events that confirm the given thought. To reshape your personality, you need to change your beliefs to positive ones.

For example, instead of “no one likes me,” you need to train yourself to think “people like me, they are drawn to me.” Speak this thought several times a day, and it will be perceived by the brain as a command. As a result, your perspective will shift, and on the contrary, you will concentrate on situations where people are drawn to you, reinforcing this belief and getting confirmation of it.

Similarly, you can work with beliefs in any area. Don't expect quick results: it will take 15-20 days to replace negative thoughts with positive ones before the new belief takes root in your head and takes effect.

Therefore, be perfect, for your heavenly Father is perfect.
What goes around comes around.

This book is the first part of a complete "Course in Willpower and Character Building"; it serves as the foundation for the spiritual re-creation of oneself. The whole course is divided into four parts:

I advise you to study them in the same sequence, but by study I do not mean learning by heart, but conscientious performance of exercises and experiments, moreover, according to the first two books, the student should work mainly on himself, and on the remaining two - on others, i.e. That is, you must first develop the forces, and then apply them.

Magnetism and hypnotism are gaining more and more fame and glory. You will find followers of these sciences in all corners the globe among persons of any rank, position and condition. What are these sciences?

By personal magnetism is meant the involuntary influence of a person on those around him, his ability to acquire love, honor and respect from people and, thanks to this, to be successful in his affairs; hypnotism is a developed art to arbitrarily influence others, to win them over.

These sciences explain to us the laws of our inner mysterious power. All people have the beginnings of this wonderful power - some have more, others have less; you just need to develop it and learn to own and manage it. This course gives everyone the opportunity to develop this power to incredible proportions. The art of influencing others, of hypnotizing is not, therefore, the gift of a few chosen people. Everyone can develop this quality in themselves to a greater or lesser extent, and education does not play a special role. I personally know many with very little education who have achieved amazing success in these sciences.

The main thing is energy, patience, perseverance, love for work and good will, and this all develops by itself during the course, if you work conscientiously. Remember a valuable rule: work, do not hesitate, do not stop: who is not forward, that is back. Go on and on and on. The reward is great. The study of personal magnetism and hypnotism completely changes a person's life and will change the life of all people.

I say with conviction that in the near future these sciences will overturn the entire world order, just as Christianity once overturned the order of the pagan world. These sciences transform people from unhappy to happy, from dissatisfied to contented, from sick to healthy, from obstinate and harsh to soft and affectionate. They uproot everything bad from the human heart and plant good. They teach to love your neighbor as yourself, explaining the laws of evil and good. They develop in man the power to conquer his impulses and passions, to dominate himself. They develop in a person the ability to attract other people to themselves, to peacefully win their sympathy. Applying magnetism and hypnotism, one can heal nervous diseases, physical and moral suffering, uproot heavy, sad memories and free a person from various bad habits, inclinations and inclinations.

These sciences develop and strengthen spiritual abilities - memory, imagination, etc., enliven and excite mental activity and, most importantly, as already mentioned, develop a strong, good will, energy, perseverance, diligence, honesty. The misuse of these sciences by dishonest people, as you will see later, is impossible or insignificant in comparison with their usefulness.

Magnetism and hypnotism involve no evil, no danger. Evil can only exist in the human heart. And an evil, dishonest person can harm his neighbor with any other science.
But "you sow evil, you reap evil"
“what you wish for another, you will receive yourself.”

Magnetism and hypnotism can only be studied and used successfully for good purposes. And whoever begins to study them with the aim of harming his neighbor will be deeply mistaken and let him not count on success. However, the exercises recommended by these sciences completely rework the character of a person. Many began to study magnetism and hypnotism with unworthy goals and soon noticed their delusion, the baseness of their aspirations and turned to the path of truth, goodness and love.

Previously, being familiar with these sciences theoretically, superficially, I was skeptical and always disapproving of them and never believed in the benefit of their application. When I began to study thoroughly and apply everything in practice, my views completely changed. For me, many incomprehensible things in my life and those around me were explained. I understood the laws of positive and negative thoughts, evil and good will, and boldly set about reorganizing my life, which until that time had been very difficult and sad. First of all, I cured myself of serious illnesses. For more than eight years I have suffered from neurasthenia, chronic bronchitis and pleurisy, and in the last two years some doctors have found signs of consumption in me.

At the end of 1908 I came across by chance the doctrine which I now preach myself. It made a deep impression on me. I firmly resolved to carry out all instructions steadily. And in 3-4 months, without any medicine, I was completely cured of the above-mentioned diseases by my willpower. Now I am alert, healthy, cheerful and cheerful. I work boldly, overcome all obstacles. My life gets better and better every day. I become more energetic, more persistent in achieving my goals and I believe that I will achieve what I want.

Having changed my life for the better and understanding its purpose and meaning, I began to apply my knowledge and strength for the benefit of others. From January 1 to July 1, 1910, I had more than 1,000 patients with various diseases. And it seems that there was no case that the patient, if he carried out the course of treatment correctly, did not receive relief or did not completely get rid of his suffering. From practice, I learned that magnetism and hypnotism cure very successfully, sometimes in two or three sessions, nervous and nervous diseases and functional disorders and eradicate bad habits and inclinations (alcoholism, onanism, etc.). Hypnosis has an indirect effect on organic diseases, dulling pain sensations and helping these organisms to fight the disease.

She writes: “In early August 1909, I went to the forest for raspberries; there was a strong, cold rain, I was dressed lightly and because of this I caught a bad cold. In the forest, I felt a severe fever and unbearable aches all over my body. The suffering was unbearable. The next day I was taken to the Krugovsky hospital, where I lay for two weeks and felt better, went home, but the same thing happened again. A week later, I was placed again in the same hospital, where I stayed for another week. At this time, my eyes began to become very cloudy, there was a strong incessant noise and ringing in my head.The farther, the worse I saw, and by Christmas I could see nothing with my left eye, and with my right I saw very weakly, as if in a thick fog, and something incessantly flickered in front of him. With my right eye, every day I saw worse and worse - almost completely blind. I turned to the Krugovsky hospital, where they admitted that I was blind from weakness, but they did not help. Then I went to the Turginovsky hospital, they also did not remember ogli: then I turned to the Vlasov hospital, here the doctor completely refused to treat me, saying: “Your eyes can no longer be cured”, I went to Klin, but this was completely useless. Finally, I went to Moscow to the Alekseevsky hospital and was treated there for three weeks, they let me have leeches to my temples, put flies and gave injections. But there was no improvement, vision was getting weaker. I was in another hospital in Moscow, but this did not lead to anything. After all this, I returned home and turned to the teacher of the Stepankov School, Vladimir Elizarovich Azarov, who began to treat me with hypnosis. From March 18, I began to be treated by him, I stayed until Shrel of this 1910. After the very first sessions, the noise and pain in the head weakened and finally completely stopped. Seeing became clearer every day, the fog cleared. A total of 28 sessions were performed, I left Mr. Azarov completely healthy, now I see very well, as before the illness, which I testify in the name of truth and ask you to publish it.

I could present many more proofs, but the purpose of this article of mine is not to prove what I have done, but what anyone can do if they wish and work. Everyone can be his own doctor and the doctor of his family and friends. Willpower, strength of mind plays a leading role in a person's life. I would especially advise our young students to take these sciences seriously. Then there would not be so many "backward", "lazy", "faulty". In fact, all these good young creatures suffer from lack of will for one reason or another. The study of magnetism and hypnotism will help them quickly develop and strengthen willpower. Even one superficial acquaintance with these sciences in a short time changes the thoughts and feelings of a person for the better. I got this from observation. To all those who seek true happiness, I wholeheartedly advise you to vigorously and lovingly take up the science of the power of the spirit. The day I met her, I celebrate as the day of my rebirth. And you will celebrate it the same way. Feel free, friends, get down to business. And...God help you. Work, do not hesitate, move forward firmly, perseveringly, without fear... Believe in your strength... and overcome all life's hardships... So, go ahead!

I. Personal magnetism is the ability of a person to attract other people to himself, to arouse their love, trust and respect. Personal or human magnetism, nerve force, psychic force, nerve fluid, the "zone" and "prana" of the Hindus, the power of miracles - this is one and the same powerful, mysterious vital electromagnetic force, which all living beings naturally possess, starting from unicellular, ending with the highest being - man.

So, there is a vital, magnetic force in the plant, animal and man; even the minerals are not completely devoid of this power. Thanks to it, the planets and the sun move and are mutually attracted; thanks to her one thing is attracted creature to another. Everything lives and moves with it. The source of power is God. Of course, the higher the organization of a being, the more perfect it is, the more power it possesses. Man, as the king of nature, is therefore the richest of all in this respect: he has the most magnetism. But this powerful force, uncontrolled by anything, unregulated, and in man, as in other creatures, does only what it must do by nature, without giving its owner the power that is hidden in him. As said, all people have magnetic power; but not everyone knows how to own and manage it and use it for the good of themselves and those around them, while others cause this power downright harm to their neighbors and themselves. In order for this force to give a person the power hidden inside him, it is necessary to learn how to control it, to subordinate it to the highest ability of a person - the will and, moreover, good will, that is, it is necessary, as they usually say, not quite correctly, to develop willpower. Most of all, the holy people of all religions achieved in this regard: by subordinating the body to the spirit, suppressing the desires of the flesh and mind, they developed their willpower, good will, to incredible proportions and, thanks to this, easily, albeit unconsciously, controlled this powerful, mysterious power, which we now call personality magnetism, and performed great feats and miracles. Notice how they were loved, respected and honored during their lifetime, as they are honored now, after centuries and millennia; with what reverence they were and are treated. Of course, they also had enemies - who do not have them, not excluding Jesus Christ - but still there are many times more admirers. Why? Because their personal magnetism attracted and attracts others to them.

II. Personal magnetism, like electricity, can be positive or negative. That is why people are pleasant and unpleasant, sympathetic and antipathetic, etc. In nature, there are positive and negative properties in everything, for example: heat and cold, dampness and dryness, love and hatred, fear and courage, etc. The human will is also either positive - good, or negative - evil, as well as thoughts - good and evil. An evil will develops a negative magnetism, while a good will develops a positive one. By personal magnetism one must mean positive magnetism proper; and strive to develop it, because positive magnetism attracts your neighbors to you, and negative magnetism repels you, makes you unpleasant for those around you. Therefore, develop in yourself good will, positive magnetism, love for others, for all living things. True, there were and are some people who developed an evil will and sometimes performed miracles, but did they reap what they wanted, or did they repay them what they repaid to the saints and people of goodness? Think of Simon and other ancient evil magi, think of our modern "sorcerers". How were they treated and treated by others? With contempt, hatred, fear, and not with respect and reverence, as for saints. Why? Because the negative magnetism developed by them repels those around them. Develop in yourself, I repeat, a good beginning, subordinate your body to the spirit, learn to think correctly, positively, for the spirit influences the body through thought. Learn first to dominate yourself, and then it will be easy to manage others, but not with evil, but with good goals. As soon as you plan evil against your neighbor, your evil will develops, along with it, negative magnetism, which repels those around you and interferes with your success and happiness.

"Don't do to others what you don't want for yourself."

Fulfill the holy commandments of your religion, Christians, imbued with the spirit of the Gospel. You must not offend a single living being, either by deed, or by word, or even by thought. Spread your love to all living things; uproot cruelty in all its manifestations from the heart. Speak and think only one truth. Respect other people's rights and name. Remember that all people are brothers. You must be pure in thought and action; Your spirit and body must be as pure as a diamond. Recognize the Highest Beginning and bow before Him. It is God, and God is Love. And you must be love. This is the spirit of the doctrine of personal magnetism. Get into them.

III. Are there any scientific grounds for recognizing a magnetic force in man, you ask? Yes there is. I speak thus of the magnetism of personality on the most rigorous scientific positions.

Human magnetism or nerve force is a transparent invisible current developed by the nervous system. The famous learned chemist, Baron Reichenbach, called this force an ode; the English physicist Crookes calls it psychic power; Baretti calls the nervous force; other scientists - fluid. This invisible fluid current is under the power of will power, controlled by it, which was clearly proved by the well-known medium Hume in a strictly scientific setting in the presence of the above-named scientist Crookes. Therefore, the more you strengthen your good will, good desires and thoughts, the more positive magnetism will develop, the more attractive you will be.

I said above that magnetism is an invisible current, but it is not always invisible. Under certain conditions, it becomes visible. We know from the Bible that a radiance came from the face of Moses after his conversation with God; the face of Jesus Christ during the transfiguration shone like the sun; many saints of God were seen surrounded by radiance, as they are not without reason and are painted on icons. Why? Because by their holy ascetic life they developed so much magnetic positive force in themselves that it became visible. Very many hypnotics see around their hypnotists a radiance or beams from the eyes and the ends of the fingers. Many sensitive persons, the so-called sensitives, see a glow in the dark around magnetizers and other persons. Even from animals and plants, radiation is sometimes noticed in absolute darkness. The aforementioned Austrian professor Reichenbach, in the last century, experimentally established that every person radiates some mysterious light waves from himself; moreover, in a normal subject, the right side always emits a pleasant bluish light (positive magnetism), and the left side reddish (negative). Of course, different subjects radiate this current in different quantities and qualities. The scientific world did not attach much importance to Reichenbach's experiments, because all this could be, as they said, hallucinations. But at present, our scientist Professor Narkevich-Yodko, by means of a series of photographic images that cannot convey hallucinations, has clearly proved the radiation from the human body. Most of all, this force radiates from the eyes and limbs. The Parisian professor Baradyuk, using a simple biometer device, proved the attractive and repulsive power of this current, and from Hume's experiments we know about the dependence of these currents on willpower and thought. Consequently, our right side is charged with positive, and the left with negative magnetism. That's why, at a meeting from ancient times, they serve each other right hand; that is why all occultists say that on the right side of a person is a good spirit, and on the left side is an evil one.

IV. Now we come to the practical side of personal magnetism. I will teach you how to control this powerful force and show you the path to happiness.

From the previous lessons, you understood that a person is something like a spare electric battery that receives and gives off some kind of mysterious fluid force - positive and negative psychic currents. You meet two unfamiliar subjects. You see them for the first time, but one of them is pleasant, sympathetic for you, the other is unpleasant, antipathetic. Why? Because positive psychic currents predominate in the first, and negative psychic currents prevail in the second. Consequently, if negative currents predominate in you, you will repel those around you, and if positive currents, you will attract your neighbors to yourself, arrange them in your favor. The latter is better, more pleasant, more profitable for you. Therefore, I repeat, develop positive currents in yourself. You will achieve this by strengthening and developing only good will, benevolent thoughts.

How to achieve this? How to become positive, magnetic, attractive? Remember that our will is manifested in desires and desires, therefore, a powerful magnetic psychic force is also manifested in our desires. When we satisfy a desire, this energy is spent, radiated, and a smaller supply of it remains in us. But our desires can again be positive - useful, kind, and negative - harmful, evil. According to the law of opposites, a negative force is expended to satisfy a positive desire, and a positive one develops to compensate for this expenditure; on the contrary, a positive force is spent to satisfy a negative desire and a negative one develops, because the supply of force is always the same, but with an increase in the force of one kind, the amount of force of another kind decreases. Therefore, if you satisfy a desire that is useful for you and those around you, good, then the corresponding positive psychic currents develop, and the negative ones are radiated; positive force prevails - attraction, the power of man increases. When you satisfy a desire that is harmful to you and those around you, evil, then negative psychic currents develop, and positive ones radiate; negative force prevails - attraction, the power of a person decreases. In addition, when useful and good desires are fulfilled, good willpower grows stronger and stronger, and when harmful and evil desires are fulfilled, evil willpower. Remember this!

So, the psychic power of a person lies in his desires. The more desires a person has, the more passionate and impulsive he is, the more psychic and electromagnetic power he has. But if he does not know how to restrain, curb himself, if he does not know how to suppress his passions and impulses, if he does not know how to deny himself the satisfaction of harmful, unreasonable, evil desires, then the trouble is: the force intended for his power will become the source of his disasters and misfortunes. and lead him to death. There are many examples of this in history.

Hence follows Golden Rule: do not satisfy your unreasonable, harmful to you and those around you, evil desires, suppress them in every possible way, restrain your impulses and passions; bridle yourself; and the power hidden and manifested in desires, passions and impulses will accumulate in you, in your psyche. Your power of good will will grow and grow stronger every hour, and your evil will will weaken. You will be more perfect, higher, stronger in spirit.

I'll give you an example now. I know in advance that you will agree with me. A friend insulted you. You could not stand it and answered him in the same way - you got annoyed, said insolent things. How are you feeling? Bad, tired, broken: something heavy, unpleasant stirs in the soul. Another time you were also insulted. You have restrained yourself. How do you feel now? You feel strong, vigorous; there is some kind of joyful, triumphant feeling in your soul. You think: “I can control myself”. You will notice the same thing in holding yourself back in other cases.

Keep a close eye on yourself. Your psychic strength is manifested by a mass of negative psychic currents, for example, irritability, anger, slander about your neighbors, pride, impatience, laziness, desire for praise, vanity, gluttony, slander, unbelief, envy, irreverence, voluptuousness, excesses of every kind and many bad habits and vices. . Do not satisfy these desires, destroy these shortcomings in yourself - your good will will develop to gigantic proportions, the supply of positive, attractive magnetic-psychic force will increase. You will be loved and respected by all. Be always calm, do not fuss, do not be nervous. Never express dissatisfaction; do not look for sympathy, flattery, praise and approval; do not talk much about yourself and about anything else in order to attract attention, but always speak with strict consideration of what you say. Beware of vanity: it is fatal to a person. Fear the loss of psychic power; resist temptation in every possible way. Thus, by strictly watching yourself, denying yourself the satisfaction of desires, you unconsciously develop your good willpower. The feats of the holy people, who possessed a huge supply of magnetism, consisted precisely in suppressing desires, passions, in subordinating the body to the spirit. So do you. Subdue your body to your mind, and your mind to your spirit. Your spirit is a part of the Highest Beginning, a part of the Divine so he won't lead you astray. The Spirit leads only to good.

VI. In this lesson, I will show you a psychophysical exercise that will help you suppress desires and preserve psychic energy, magnetic force.

A large ganglion is placed above the human stomach, formed by a nerve extending from the spinal cord, which is called the solar plexus or plexus Solaris. This is the abdominal nerve center; it is sometimes called the ventral brain. It has an impact not only on the most important functions of our body. for example breathing, blood circulation, but also on the emotional side of a person. Psychologists-occultists recognize the solar plexus as a real magnetic center that influences others and, in turn, is available to the influence of others. Indian yoga. which in the occult-psychic sciences are far ahead of us, the solar plexus is recognized, so to speak, as the warehouse of magnetism. This nerve center plays a huge role in human health and life. The volume of this essay does not allow me to speak in detail about this, I will say it in one of the following books, and now I will point out only a few facts. When you are frightened of something or expect something unpleasant, you feel that something is shrinking in your “pit of your stomach”, it is getting colder, your heart beats faster, stronger, your breathing quickens, you tremble, turn pale. Why? Because the solar plexus is now in an abnormal state: it has contracted; the stock of magnetism has decreased. So, fear, fear of something unpleasant caused you an abnormal, painful state of the solar plexus and, along with it, the whole organism. Nervous patients who, like all nervous system, the solar plexus is out of order, upset, they always feel fear, as if an approaching trouble; they have “under the pit of the stomach” often hurts and shrinks something. When you are under the influence of temptation, passionate desire, you are struggling with it, you also feel excitement, fear, trembling, something is compressed in your chest. This again temporarily upsets the solar plexus. It follows from this that it is worth bringing the solar plexus into order, into a normal state, and all unpleasant, abnormal phenomena will disappear by themselves. How can this be achieved?

Very simple: in this case, the solar plexus is put in order with the help of a special breathing exercises. As soon as you feel any desire, temptation, focus all your attention, all your thoughts on it; through this desire will grow.

Then stand straight, legs together, close your eyes and start slowly through your nose, closing your mouth, inhale the air for 8 seconds, mentally saying: “I appropriate the power of this desire, develop goodwill”. Then hold your breath for 8 seconds without lowering your chest, thinking: “I absorb this power; she belongs to me now”. Finally, slowly exhale through your nose for 8 seconds while mentally saying: “Now I have magnetic power and can influence others with it”. Repeat this breath 7-14 times. Your desire will pass; you will calm down, you will feel in yourself, in your nerves, some kind of power, vivacity, freshness. Exercise like this when fear, grief, despondency, apathy, laziness, etc. take possession of you; exercise more often.

This exercise acts directly on the solar plexus, massaging and exciting it with adjacent organs; and the concentration of attention and thoughts on the absorption of energy directs it into this "storehouse of magnetism" and leaves it there in reserve.

VII. This way of developing willpower will probably seem difficult to you. But nothing can be achieved without hard work. However, considering the weakness of human nature, I will give you something to help you in following the firm path indicated. I will show you some easier but very effective exercises; but do not neglect the first; go boldly, steadily, on a firm path, discarding “stumbling blocks”.

The basis of personal magnetism, as you have seen, is a strong good will. But few people care about developing it: they think that willpower is a natural gift, whoever does not have it will not have it. Wrong. All people are endowed with this ability, everyone can develop it more and more. And for this you should “know yourself” and work on yourself. Remember, you will not be able to lead and manage others if you cannot restrain yourself, master yourself. Therefore, first of all, develop your own self-control. Determine once and for all to develop your good will power, to restrain yourself steadily, carry out this decision. Think about it every morning and evening. Decide to succeed in everything, to have good luck in everything, to love everyone, to treat everyone favorably. Do not think that you will develop your willpower in a day, a week, two. Every ability develops and grows like a mustard seed.

Do the following exercises carefully, conscientiously, do not neglect their simplicity, do not criticize - later you will see their benefit. Take seven sheets of white paper and write a large, legible self-hypnosis for each day.

1. I have a strong, good will. No one can resist my influence. I wish everyone only the best. Everyone wishes me well.

2. I have a strong, kind spirit. Nothing scares me. I won't cause anyone any trouble. Nobody will harm me.

3. I firmly decided to keep up with everything. I am determined to love all people. Everyone around me loves me and wishes me success.

4. I decided to follow the path of truth and goodness. There are no obstacles for me. I will achieve what I want. My desires are honest.

5. I am in complete control of myself. Nothing will excite or anger me. I am always calm. I can suppress my desires, restrain myself.

6. I have good willpower. I can control those around me with the power of kindness and love inherent in me. People love me.

7. I am happy. I am successful in everything. I am full of love and kindness. Everyone around me loves me. Everything tends to my well-being.

Take a piece of paper every day, retire and think with concentration on what is written, and imagine yourself as such. Do this in the morning upon waking up and in the evening before going to bed. During the day, think the same as often as possible, and even better, write it many times. Do this for two weeks. Then copy everything on one sheet and read everything every day for a week. In exactly the same way, you can do self-hypnosis for the development of other qualities, for the treatment of diseases. For this purpose, holy people of all religions composed and read prayers, which they also left for us. These are the same self-hypnosis - kind, sublime. And you can choose many of them and pray earnestly, truly. I have given you examples, and you, following the example of them, invent others. You know your own shortcomings better.

VIII. In this lesson, I will give you exercises that are even more effective and fruitful than the previous ones. Take also seven sheets of paper for each day of the week. Write big, clear self-hypnosis on them.

1. My spirit is strong. My will is strong. I have a huge store of magnetic power. I am full of love and kindness.

2. I am fearless, bold. I will never lose heart. Nothing and no one will frighten or anger me.

3. I am completely calm and cool. I will never be shy. I will not be nervous when talking.

4. I own myself and my temperament. I can restrain, curb myself. Nothing will excite or irritate me.

5. I will be successful in all my undertakings. I will never fail. I will achieve everything that I want.

6. I rule over others and control them with the power of goodness and love. They cannot resist me.

7. I am happy, cheerful and healthy. The world is beautiful. Life is good. The people are kind. I love everyone and everything. Everyone loves me. Thank God!

Every day before going to bed retire, take a smooth glass of tea, fill to the brim with clean cold water, put in front of you at a distance of 2-2.5 feet. Sit completely still, breathe deeply 14-20 times, as if suppressing desires. There must be complete silence in the room. Place a self-hypnosis sheet in front of the glass. Look intently, if possible without blinking, into the water, into the center of the glass for 5-7 minutes; then carefully look at the sheet, read and memorize the self-hypnosis and look again into the water, into the center of the glass, and intensively, with concentration think over the words of auto-suggestion; picture yourself as such. If it makes you sleepy. sleep peacefully. Continue the session for about half an hour At the end of the session, drink water. Human thought is like electricity. When you think intently, looking intently into the water, a mental current comes from your brain, radiating from your eyes, and saturates the water. Drinking it, you also perceive the qualities that you thought about.

Therefore, beware of thinking badly about what you eat and drink. That is why it is prescribed to pray before eating and drinking: in prayer there are always good thoughts, and, consequently, good strength. In addition, self-hypnosis itself affects you. Practice this way for 2-3 weeks. I repeat, you can compose self-hypnosis yourself. So be treated for various ailments; so destroy bad habits and inclinations. For example, you feel a headache; write: “Headache subsides, passes; My head doesn't hurt anymore."- exercise. Or do you want to get rid of laziness; write: “I am industrious; I love work; it is my happiness and pleasure”. Always drink water. Always pray sincerely morning and evening, before and after food and drink, before and after work.

IX. Engage more conscientiously in the exercises given to you, do not neglect their simplicity. They will increase your will power to an extent you did not expect and develop in you a huge store of magnetic energy.

Now let me ask you one question: Do you believe in the sanctity of consecrated water and in its healing properties? If you do not believe, then I advise you to believe, and why - now I will explain to you.
Consecrating the water, the priest reads prayers over it, the believers mentally repeat the same thing. Strong mental and magnetic currents radiate from the brains of all present and saturate the water. And in all prayers there are only good, lofty thoughts and wishes.
Therefore, always drink holy water with reverence and faith in it. healing properties; along with water you drink, perceive and good thoughts and wishes of others, positive magnetic force. Whispered by various healers, the water also has good or evil power, positive or negative magnetism. Now we understand a lot of things that we did not understand before. Is not it?

Based on the above, I will show you how to cure yourself of diseases, develop good qualities in yourself and influence others through the so-called "magnetic current".

Take a vessel with water, retire, put water in front of you, sit quietly; do breathing exercises. Look closely into the water, into the center of the vessel, and intensely, with concentration, think that you have a magnetic force, that the water is saturated with this force. Now think about who you want to influence, think about what you want from him, what you inspire him. Remember that you can only think good, wish only good. As soon as you start thinking and inspiring evil, your evil will and negative magnetism take over - and you become non-magnetic. Therefore, you will only succeed as long as your good will works.

I hope you understand and for your own good you will not abuse your power, inspire evil in your neighbor, and harm him. After the session, drink some water (for this alone you cannot think bad things about water), and give the rest of the water to drink to the one you wanted to influence, of course, if possible. But only you should know about it. So you can treat your family and loved ones from diseases and various vices. You can also think about other objects: oil, wine, bread, fruits, etc., over a photographic card. I think you have fully understood the spirit of occultism, the laws of thought and will, and the meaning of positive psychic power, goodness.

X. By suppressing desires and exercising in the above ways, you develop your will power unconsciously; but its conscious development is also necessary. To this end, I will give you some valuable exercises, on the model of which others themselves invent. Now you have already strengthened your will and spirit, and the following exercises will not seem as difficult to you as they would seem before. Postpone the more difficult ones until you feel stronger in spirit.

1. If someone offends you, forgive, keep silent, move away from him in peace. Forget the resentment. If necessary, pay well.

2. When you feel like talking, force yourself to be silent. Silence is power. Word is silver, silence is gold. Always talk less, listen more.

3. Force yourself not to utter a single word during the day. Repeat this several times. Difficult? But willpower grows and grows stronger.

4. Do not eat meat food during the day weekly; then two days - Wednesday and Friday - do not eat meat.

5. Set yourself a vegetarian diet for one week, then two, and so on for up to 6 weeks.

6. Do not eat anything for a day, eat for a day, do it while the daily hunger is easily tolerated. Then do not eat for two days, eat for two; repeat. Get up to 3-4 days.

7. Do not eat anything weekly for a day, for example, on Friday. Just drink cold water. This cleanses the body.

8. Try to endure daily thirst. It's harder. Repeat several times.

9. Try to spend the night without sleep, try to stay awake. Temporarily weaken; but the spirit is strong.

10. Stop drinking tea for a month, two months, etc. up to six months.

11. If you smoke, then do not smoke for a day. Repeat several times. Then do not smoke for two, three, etc. days - up to a week. Now quit smoking for a month, two months, and finally, completely.

12. If you drink alcoholic beverages, then reduce the amount of consumption. Now do not drink for three days, a week, two, etc. up to a month. Stop drinking completely.

13. Try to do without outside services for a while; do everything yourself. Now try yourselves to render a certain time as many services as possible to those around you.

14. Retire for a few days from people; lock yourself in your room so that you don't see anyone, even your loved ones, so that no one sees you. Think about self-improvement.

15. Force yourself to perform work that is unpleasant for you in good faith, with love.

16. Do not think for a certain time, but always better, do not think badly of anyone, but think well of everyone.

17. Do not think for a whole day, two, three, etc. about your loved one. Remember fondly your enemies.

18. Abstain absolutely from sexual intercourse for a week (if you are married), then two, three, etc. for up to six weeks. Repeat this several times a year. If it is difficult to abstain, fast more and apply the above breathing with the appropriate suggestion. Remember that sexual intemperance most of all weakens the will of man and destroys magnetism.

19. Criticize yourself, look for bad habits and shortcomings in yourself and gradually eradicate them, but not immediately.

20. Distribute the time of work, rest, sleep, eating, etc. and follow this distribution. Sleep for at least eight hours.

21. Repeat the course of the sciences you have passed. It will refresh and strengthen your memory.

I will talk about this in detail in the essay: “The Development and Strengthening of Memory”. Many will say that this is difficult to accomplish. Difficult, but not impossible: there is nothing impossible for a person, if he wants to. And "under a lying stone and water does not flow."

XI. By conscientiously performing the above exercises, you learn to bend yourself to your own will. But for greater self-improvement, for achieving greater power, it is necessary to be able to obey another authoritative higher will. The holy ascetics elected leaders for this purpose; novices are appointed in monasteries.

Choose an authoritative leader for yourself. Obey his instructions. He who does not know how to obey, he cannot rule. But the highest will for us is the Will of God, which is clearly expressed in the laws of all religions. I am a Christian, writing this book mainly for Christians, and with this I will harmonize my present instructions.

1. Read and think carefully over the Holy Gospel and try to act according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

2. Review the course of the Law of God you have taken. Think thoroughly over the Lord's Prayer, the Commandments of the Law of God and the Commandments of the Beatitudes. Try to act and think always as required in these great "words".

3. Read the biographies of the holy ascetics and try to imitate them in what is possible for you.

4. Sacredly fulfill the charter and rites of the Church: observe the established fasts, dedicate holidays prayer and service to God, deeds of love and mercy.

5. The most powerful means for developing personality magnetism, willpower and thought is sincere prayer. It develops strong positive thought waves and magnetic currents, which, surrounding a person, prevent the influence of bad thoughts, negative currents on him; it uplifts and strengthens the spirit. That's why it says, "Pray without ceasing." In conclusion, I will point out how strong magnetic personality of our time on Father John of Kronstadt, who developed his strength through deep faith, prayer and love for others. “He who is able to contain, let him contain”.

To the followers of other religions I will say: fulfill sacredly the laws of your religion; every religion contains a lot of sacred, sublime things. The most sublime beliefs I recognize Hindu; then come the Buddhist religion, Judaism. There are no rules in them, the execution of which would weaken the willpower and deprive a person of magnetism. Not so in Mohammedanism: intolerance towards non-believers and polygamy certainly pervert the human will and take away its magnetism.

People! Remember that you are all children of the same God, therefore you are all brothers. Love each other. Do not do to others what is not good for you. And there will be peace and the Kingdom of God on earth...

XII. You will ask: “What will I achieve by suppressing my desires and exercising in these ways? Is all this work worth it? Yes, it's worth it. As soon as you begin to apply my instructions, you will begin to notice a clear change in yourself, and others notice it in one reading of this book.

You will become more and more aware of your dignity and power. After each suppression of desire, after each successful exercise, you will feel stronger and more invigorated spiritually and physically. Negative desires will bother you less and less and, finally, leave you completely. You will become more balanced, more dispassionate. This should not frighten you, because you will feel happier and more satisfied: the fewer desires a person has, the happier he is. You will clearly notice a change in the attitudes of those around you. You will be interested, you will be loved and respected. They will be happy to listen to your conversations; but don't talk too much. They will admire your abilities and knowledge; but beware of flattery and vanity. You will also have enemies; but less than friends. Treat them with love and respect, turn them into friends with your power of goodwill. Believe that you will achieve this too. Just be patient. Forgive insults.

There will be a significant physical change in you. The posture will become more cheerful, more confident, the complexion will be brighter, healthier, the look will be clearer, more attractive, more brilliant, the voice will be louder, more pleasant, more melodious. In a word, some kind of elusive charm, cuteness will develop in you, which will impress those around you more than any beauty. Note and make sure. But do not forget: do not become proud, immediately lose a huge part of magnetism. Realize that you are far from perfect. Rise higher. So, thanks to tireless work on yourself, your appearance, behavior, mental structure, character without special efforts will change on your part. What you previously so passionately desired and did not receive, is now easily achieved by you! You are getting closer to happiness. But do not wish for much, remember that in satisfying desires, which are mostly negative, you expend energy. Everything will come by itself. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and everything else will be given to you”. Think only about self-improvement - everything you need for your well-being will be given to you.

The energy you save while suppressing desires will attract the desired benefits, love and respect of others to you. But be careful. Do not give anyone a reason to see a change in you right away, let it happen imperceptibly, gradually. Do not say a word to anyone about your study of personal magnetism, about the exercises you are doing. Do not look for love, sympathy and respect. Keep your own and others' secrets. Be silent. Do not tell anyone about your successes and failures, do not complain about fate or others. Be patient. Remember Job's patience. What were the results? Hide your suffering. Be always calm and confident in success. Everything will be fine. Keep your knowledge for yourself, and do not scatter it around fruitlessly: beware, I repeat, vanity. Beware of the loss of the collected magnetic energy.

XIII. Necessary condition for the development of personal magnetism is health. Without good health you won't achieve anything. "Mens sana in corpore sano" - "A healthy mind in a healthy body." Weakness of the body weakens the spirit.

In one of my next writings, I will give a detailed account of the physical well-being of a person according to the philosophy of the Yogis, and here I will confine myself to only brief but valuable indications.

Get up always at a certain hour, for example at 6 o'clock in the morning. Now do about 10 minutes of physical exercises, gymnastics according to any system. Then wash your face and whole body with clean cold, room temperature, soap and water, dry off. Massage, rub the body with your hands for 10 minutes. Stay in the room undressed for 15-20 minutes, but be on the move; in summer, with open windows, do not be afraid of a cold. Take deep breaths, as you did when suppressing desires. I will speak in detail about gymnastics, massage and breathing in the third part of the course “Healing Magnetism”. Always brush your teeth in the morning, evening and after meals.

Observe strict moderation in everything. Eat neither too much nor too little, and only when you feel really hungry. Chew food as well as possible, this will make the work of the stomach easier. Avoid fatty meats, pork, warm and sweet pies. Eat more fruits, fruits, but ripe ones. Don't get used to treats. Drink as much as possible clean, cold (12°R) raw water if there is no risk of infection. An adult should drink about 4-4.5 bottles of water per day in small portions, for example, about half a glass every half hour; drink in small sips. Drink tea and coffee as little as possible and not strong, do not drink alcohol at all. Don't smoke: it takes away a lot of magnetism from you. Work and rest in moderation. Work with focus, without rushing. “Whatever you do, be the most important thing in the world while you do it”. This strengthens your thoughts and will. Give yourself sometimes an absolute rest: lie still for a day, moving as little as possible and not thinking anything important, of course, when possible. It strengthens the nerves. Make sure that the air in your apartment is as clean as possible: ventilate it more often. Be outdoors more often. Breathe always through your nose with your mouth closed, slowly and deeply. Don't be afraid of the sun. Let it bathe you with its life-giving, beneficial rays and give you magnetic energy. It is the source of life on earth. Take it whenever possible sunbathing 20-25 minutes, covering your head with something white. In the summer, when it is dry and warm, walk barefoot for at least two hours a day. Bathe; keep the body clean, but avoid hot baths and baths. Go to bed at a certain hour, such as 10 p.m., and get at least 8 hours of sleep. Take care of the purity of the air at night, do not wrap yourself up; sleep with your mouth closed - accustom yourself to this. Always be calm in spirit.

I advise you to avoid extremes, stick to the middle: do not be sloppy, careless, but at the same time make sure that your costume does not catch the eye with its fashionability, pretentiousness. To make everything decent, beautiful, but simple. Keep your boots and shoes clean. Keep your head up. Don't be suffocated. Linen should always be clean: uncleanliness paralyzes magnetism. Keep an eye on your mouth and teeth so that there is no unpleasant, repulsive odor. Your manners must be pleasant. Always be restrained, kind, but not frivolous, polite and attentive to your interlocutors. Do not get into arguments, do not get irritated, do not impose your opinions and views on others. When talking, do not wave your arms, gesticulate less. Treat everyone with courage, openness, kindness, and most importantly, honesty. Respect yourself and others. When you speak, be serious, don't laugh for no reason. Speak thoughtfully, loudly, clearly, distinctly. Craft beautiful, bold, persuasive speech. Practice this daily for half an hour. Retire somewhere. Consider what to say. Imagine one or more listeners in front of you and start talking seriously. Follow every word, every thought, as if you really had a whole audience in front of you. This is how the best speakers, artists and lecturers practiced. When they tell you, listen carefully and do not show that you are tired of listening. Learn to listen and be silent. But do not submit to the influence of the interlocutor. If you have to say “no,” speak boldly, but gently and politely. Never speak ill of anyone, even of someone who is much lower in position than you: you humiliate yourself. “Judge not and you will not be judged”. Avoid repeating the same conversation. Try to always be cheerful and cheerful. Always speak animatedly, but simply, without "thinking." Learn to shake hands firmly and courageously at a meeting, so that sympathy, friendship, and goodwill are felt in your handshake. Grab your hand firmly, but not hurt, shake it in a friendly way from top to bottom, remembering that magnetism radiates from your hand, your fingers, with the help of which you influence the one you meet. Look directly at the interlocutor's face, between the eyes, at the center of the bridge of the nose with a firm, so-called magnetic look, thinking: "You like me." Understand the power of the human gaze. Who doesn't know her!

The eye is a powerful tool for influencing others. Beast tamers influence them with their gaze. Snakes enchant their prey with their eyes. And what power has a glance over savages! The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Speaking about the scientific grounds for the recognition of magnetism, I said that most of all magnetic energy is emitted from the eyes, which has been proven by photographing.

Yes, it's true. We often read each other's thoughts in the eyes, we determine the character by the eyes. "Lovers talk with their eyes." The eyes affect physically and mentally. Magnetism and thought waves radiate from them. Develop in yourself a magnetic powerful look.

XV. To have a magnetic look, it must be developed with the help of special eye gymnastics. Protect your eyes from dust. Don't overwork them. Do not read while walking or driving. Keep away from strong light.

When talking, try to stand with your back to the light and always look the interlocutor between the eyes, at the center of the bridge of the nose. Do the following exercises diligently. Do not hurry.

1. During the day, open your eyelids as wide as possible.

2. Look more often with a sharp penetrating gaze, without blinking, at very distant points, stars, etc.

3. Stand with your back to the wall; now, without moving your head, run your eyes along the opposite wall, draw various shapes with your eyes: triangles, rectangles, circles, stars, crosses, etc. As soon as your eyes start to get tired, stop. Repeat daily.

4. Take a square piece of white paper; make on it a very black circle-dot the size of two kopecks. Attach to the wall at eye level; stand at a distance of 1.5 arshins from him. Now rotate your head in all directions without taking your eyes off the black dot. When you start to get tired, stop.

5. Attach the same piece of paper to the wall at eye level in a sitting position. Place a chair at a distance of 3-3.5 arshins from the wall. Sit down against the point completely still, so that not a single muscle of yours flinches. Look at the point without blinking, firmly, resolutely for 1 minute (counting to 100). Rest for a minute and watch again for 1 minute. Repeat this 5 times. Do this for three days in the morning and in the evening.

6. Attach a piece of paper to the wall and place a chair, as in exercise.

5. Move the dot to the right 1.5 arshins and attach it. Sit on a chair and look straight ahead at the spot where the dot used to be. Now, without turning your head, move your eyes to the right to the point and look intently, as in exercise. 5, up to 5 times for 1 minute. Do 3 days 2 times.

7. This exercise is similar to 6, only look not to the right, but to the left up to 5 times for 1 minute. Do it for 3 days too. Always rinse your eyes with cold water after exercise. Now practice for three days like this: look straight 3 times for 1 minute, right and left for the same amount.

8. Now increase the time. Look straight ahead 2 times for 2 minutes, right and left for the same amount. Do this daily for 2 times a day 3-4. Then increase the time again: 2 times 3, 4, 5 minutes. Then look straight, to the right, to the left for 6-10 minutes. Increase the time by 1 minute of the day after 3-4. Don't rush, don't overwork.

9. Finally, the most important exercise. Sit quietly, put a mirror in front of you and look at your reflection in the center of the bridge of your nose as much as you can without blinking. Note the time. Every 3-4 days, increase the time by 1 minute and reach 15 minutes. Look always firmly, without blinking. Of course, you will not achieve this soon, but you will. Whenever you look, think intently: “I have a powerful magnetic gaze and a strong will”. In this way, you can inspire yourself with anything. Remember that thought is like electricity and rays of light. A current flows from your brain to the mirror and, reflected from the mirror, returns to you again and affects you. Watch for changes in the expression of your eyes, thanks to the exercises.

O further development I will speak in the IV part of the course "Hypnotism and suggestion". Do not pass by gaze exercises: they play a very important role in the development of magnetism, and you cannot hypnotize without them.

XVI. Finally, for the full development of personality magnetism, it is necessary to develop self-confidence, faith in one's strengths and abilities, and confidence in oneself. Whoever does not believe in himself, others will certainly not believe in him. Think, because you are doing one thing, therefore, you will be able to do another, it’s just worth taking it on. Tell yourself more often: “I believe in myself, I believe in my strengths and abilities. I can and I want and I will achieve what I want”. There is nothing that a person would not achieve with a strong desire, unshakable confidence in success and a firm determination to achieve what he wants at all costs. But work. Be patient, develop perseverance. Be persistent - energy will develop.

Those people who succeed in all their endeavors are generally called happy. And right. The happiness of a person lies in success in all his affairs. Such a person achieves everything - wealth, fame, power, honor, love, etc. The success of a person depends entirely on his personal qualities, and these qualities are developed by the exact implementation of the laws of personal magnetism. Therefore, follow them strictly.

They say that hard work leads to success. Not quite right. There are workers who work day and night and, however, fail in everything. A smart attitude leads to success. All human beings have duties that are reluctantly fulfilled. Train yourself to fulfill such duties with love. "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today". Enough for each day of its own worries. Always take on the more difficult, and then the easier. Work hard towards your goal. If that doesn't work, do it differently. Finally, find the right and easy way. Think about how the inventors worked. Read the biographies of people of success and strong will. Learn from them. Drive away despondency and fear from yourself. Be brave, resolute, do not be afraid of anyone and nothing. If you are right, then no thunder and lightning will harm you. Tell yourself “I dared. I'm not afraid of anything. I don't know fear. No one will hurt me". And when a momentary excitement and fear of something takes possession of you, do the above breathing and you will feel cheerful and courageous. You should be afraid of only one thing - retribution for your unkind thoughts and deeds. So avoid, don't commit them.

In conclusion, I repeat again: do not be selfish. Selfishness is the mother of vices; it will give birth to all others. Show yourself love for those around you. Going to bed, close your eyes and think, but not automatically: “I will be kind and friendly to everyone: I will love all people - Everyone around me will love”. Think this until you fall asleep. Waking up in the morning, repeat the same and decide to do it throughout the day. Be kind to everyone. You know that a kind look often saved people from serious crimes - murders and suicides, etc. Remember how Christ treated sinners. As you treat others, so will they treat you. “With what measure you use, it will be measured to you”.

XVII. I hope that you have followed all my instructions and have thereby developed a sufficient stock of magnetism in yourselves; I will show you how to use this power for practical purposes, to use it actively. Although I must warn you that you should use these forces as little as possible, because this consumes more energy than it should. Personal magnetism in itself, in addition to your will, in addition to your active desire, influences those around you.

Holy people tried in every possible way to avoid fame, fame, honor, they retired to the desert, but whole crowds of admirers aspired to them with an open soul. However, considering your desires, I will note several ways of actively directing force. Some you already know. But others.

1. Retire to your room. There must be complete silence. Sit quietly: discard all thoughts except expressing your desire. Write this thought briefly, but clearly and precisely. "For example: “I wish that N would forget our quarrel and be disposed towards me”. Now think with concentration for 20-25 minutes, imagining that your wish has come true. Repeat if necessary. But never wish to harm your neighbor - the desire will not be fulfilled, and the result will be the opposite.

2. Retire. Lie on the bed on your back so that the spinal column is in one straight line; remove pillows. Lie quietly for 5 minutes, concentrating on the thought expressing your desire. Now start breathing slowly and deeply and keep thinking the same. Breathe like this for 10-15 minutes. Of course, you understand that by breathing you excite the solar plexus, and your thought directs the excited magnetic energy where it should be.

3. If you are in the company of a person whom you want to influence, then on occasion look at his face, between the eyes, at the center of the bridge of the nose and think: "You will do what I want". Mentally inspire him with your desire, repeat many times. If he is standing with his back to you, look intently at the back of his head and inspire, but imperceptibly.

4. The very same in an efficient way I admit sincere prayer: in it you will not wish harm to anyone. Shut up and pray. Ask God to send you the desired good. Be sure that you will receive, and you will receive. “Ask, it will be given to you”. Do not think that you are not worthy: Christ listened to the Canaanite woman and gave her what she asked. Will give you; just ask in faith.

XVIII. When you purchased this book, you probably thought that you would achieve all this at once, and now you see that it takes time and a lot of time. Of course, some will learn all this sooner, others more slowly. But without work, you won't achieve anything, remember.

And now, as we met amicably, we will part as friends until a new date. I wish you success in these great sciences and in life. I wish you to be imbued with the spirit of this teaching, to love life, people, yourself and everything around you. If something depresses, saddens you, forget it. The world is so beautiful. All will pass. One truth will remain forever. When you feel unhappy, think about what is more unhappy than you, and have pity on those - and your heart will become light and cheerful.

Sorry friends. Be healthy and happy!
