[CHAPTER XI]
THE CONDITIONS AND LAWS OF SUGGESTION
In order to bring to the fore subconscious activities with their reflex, automatic psycho-motor reactions by removal of the upper consciousness I have found requisite, in my investigations, the following conditions:
Normal Suggestibility,—Suggestibility in the Normal, Waking State.
(1) Fixation of the Attention.
(2) Distraction of the Attention.
(3) Monotony.
(4) Limitation of Voluntary Activity.
(5) Limitation of the Field of Consciousness.
