How are such suggestions transformed into acts
Suggestion is a form of cerebral conditioning, but between the suggestion and the act it implies lie a whole series of complex processes. A researcher named Bernheim was the first to discover what he called 'ideo-dynamics' -the theory that all suggestions tend to result in actions, as the subconscious automatically attempts to induce us to act on what it perceives.
Driving a car along the highway, lost in thought, you may suddenly realize you're approaching your exit. It's as if you were driving on automatic pilot. The same type of thing happens when you are trying to solve a problem - unable to find a solution, you concentrate on something else, when suddenly you're hit with an inspiration, as if the mental process had continued on a subconscious level, and guided you to the answer you were seeking.
We'll be taking a closer look at ideo-dynamics later on.

Research on hypnosis, and later on psychology and psychoanalysis, has enabled us to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of suggestion. In the same way that sophrologists are sometimes able to affect miraculous cures using terpnos logos, other disciplines have been using various techniques to achieve the same result. All however, are based on the principles of suggestion we have just outlined.
