There are three main elements that, with the help of the phase, may influence the physiology in very beneficial ways. First, it is possible to contact the subconscious mind to learn how to influence physiology. Second, the brain reacts more strongly to sensations than to real events. For example, if running while in the phase, the physical processes of the body would be consistent with the processes occurring in the body of a person running in reality: respiration accelerates, blood pressure increases, the heartbeat quickens, and even blood flow to the feet becomes greater. Third, while the practitioner experiences profound changes of consciousness in the phase, this is when all direct and indirect forms of autosuggestion are most effective.
Not all influences on physiology are 100% effective. However, even without a guaranteed rate of success, the effort to influence physiology is worthy of attention because amazing results can be obtained. Always remember that achieving a good result may require repeated influence from the phase. Even in the physical world, medications require repeated ingestion.
If the goal is to cure a disease, do not rely solely on the phase. Sick persons must use the phase alongside treatment from physicians. The more serious the illness, the more strongly this rule applies.
The diagnosis of health problems may be performed with the same techniques used for obtaining information. It is also possible to learn methods to cure health problems, if such methods exist. Both of these possibilities apply to third parties being helped by efforts in the phase. Information gathering is the only proven way to influence the physiology of other people by using the phase. For example, it is possible to find a well-known healer in the phase and ask about personal health problems or the problems of a friend or family member. A clarified answer may be used in the assistance of traditional medical treatment.
Find a doctor in the phase by using the technique of finding objects and ask the doctor to take examine or treat a known illness or other health problem. For example, in case of abdominal pains the doctor may palpate the belly, apply pressure to various points, and perform a special massage. Any actions are possible, including an operation. After leaving the phase, the practitioner will feel a positive result.
The placebo effect is much stronger in the phase than in reality since all actions occur in a highly modified state of consciousness and are perceived directly. Object locating techniques may be used to find medications used to treat existing problems. It is also possible to create self-made substances to produce the desirable effect. For example, in case of an acute headache in reality, a practitioner may take a painkiller while in the phase and its effect will be partially felt in the wakeful state.
An illness or problem may be directly affected by actions in the phase. For example, a sore throat may be warmed by envisioning a burning sensation in the throat or by moving to a hot location, like a sauna. If a practitioner would like to increase physical flexibility, then stretching in the phase will cause the body to adjust to the nonexistent action by relaxing and tensing the corresponding tendons and muscles.
This is nothing more than normal autosuggestion or auto-training in the phase, which is more potent in the phase than reality. A practitioner should repeat a desired goal silently or aloud and, if possible, should imagine experiencing the desired result. For example, if the aim is to get rid of depression, a practitioner should attempt to recreate a happy mood in the phase, experiencing it to the fullest extent possible. Simultaneously, silent repetition of a goal with complete understanding and expectation that everything will be alright, that everything is wonderful will undoubtedly produce the desired effect.
Everything with useful properties in reality should be experienced as useful in the phase since the body will react in practically the same manner. Useful experiences may include exercising, going to the gym, having a massage, taking mud or salt baths, and experiencing pleasant emotions.
Practicing phase-related techniques favorably affects the psychology because it offers new opportunities and evokes new emotions. However, there are specific applications of the phase that produce differing psychological effects. For example, it is possible to use the phase space as a bridge for dealing with phobias by facilitating a setting where a practitioner may confront and deal with certain fears. Various complexes may be defeated in a similar manner. The use of a well-known technique called re-visiting (recapitulation), where a person re-experiences adverse events while trying to relate to them in a new way, has been used successfully in the phase.
Any motor skills can be sharpened by using it in reality and in the phase because the algorithm of rapid physical action is generated at the level of interaction between areas of the brain that correspond to muscle action. In the phase, wrestlers may practice throws, karate fighters may practice punches and kicks, and gymnasts may practice acrobatics. Having enough time to practice these actions in the phase is another matter.
