Have you heard of autosuggestion?

It is a psychological technique where a person trains their subconscious mind to believe certain ideas or affirmations through repetition. It is based on the idea that repeated thoughts or phrases can influence our beliefs, emotions, and actions. It involves repeating a specific phrase, affirmation, or goal to yourself regularly. Over time, this repeated message can help change negative thinking patterns, increase confidence, or achieve personal growth. It’s often used in self-help, therapy, meditation, and personal development.

Although it was popularized by French psychologist Émile Coué, who famously used the phrase “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” It is long believed that the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptians) used this psychological technique to help them to master the 42 Laws of Maa(t).

Autosuggestion can be used to:

• Reprogram the subconscious mind to shift negative beliefs or habits into positive ones.
• Build confidence and motivation—by reinforcing encouraging thoughts.
• Achieve goals by focusing your mind on clear, repeated intentions.
• Reduce anxiety or stress by calming the mind with soothing affirmations.
• Develop new habits or mindsets—through consistent repetition.

When autosuggestion is combined with the japmala (japa mala), which is a string of 108 beads traditionally used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual practices for mantra chanting or meditation. It can make it easier to impress the autosuggestion onto the subconscious, thus making the goal of the autosuggestion more effective.
