Mind Alchemy

Improved self-image requires dedication and simple steps

French mind theorist Émile Coué (1857-1926) in an American newspaper, 1923.

“The vibrations of fear,” success author Napoleon Hill wrote in 1937 in Think and Grow Rich, “pass from one mind to another just as quickly and as surely as the sound of the human voice passes from the broadcasting station to the receiving set of a radio—and BY THE SELF-SAME MEDIUM.”

But we are not at the mercy—at least not entirely—of fearful or negative psychical states announcing themselves to others. We possess a mechanism that fosters a kind of mind alchemy, altering our dominant thoughts and, in some measure, our moods and self-image. It is called autosuggestion.
