Encyclopedia of Religion entry forAuto-SuggestionA hypnotized person is very susceptible to suggestion, so much so that the subject can be cured by suggestion of certain nervous diseases or of vices and bad habits. It is well known, moreover, that suggestion is, and has been, a great power in our daily life in the term both of heterosuggestion, suggestion coming from others, and auto-suggestion, suggestion made to ourselves. This has led to the discovery, it is claimed, that, without the use of hypnotism, a person can suggest to himself or herself the cure of diseases and bad habits. See T. J. Hudson; E. Worcester, S. McComb and I. H. Coriat, Religion and Medicine, 1908. citations: Encyc. of Rel., Canney
