Mind Training

Daily mind-training and neuroplasticity are the very foundation of The Lovett Method. Some 30% of Lee’s books and courses are devoted to this subject. Students are urged to adopt a daily regimen of mind-training to eliminate all negative thoughts and visualize success and enable fluency and a love of speaking, thus converting stuttering into a blessing.

WSSA has recruited a team of Certified Hypnotists (CH’s) to help WSSA subscribers to hypnotize students to help them overcome their speech anxieties and to help them with self-hypnosis. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are ideal methods to promote relaxation and remove barriers so that you can speak with self-confidence and speech fluency.

Methods of Mind-Training

While there are many ways to train the mind, Eastern and Western, Lee’s Methods focus on two Western methods: (1) Auto Suggestion and (2) Self-Hypnosis.

Auto Suggestion (AS)
Auto Suggestion was introduced and popularized by Émile Coué (1857-1926), a French psychologist and pharmacist. AS can be said to be simply “talking to oneself”. The desired outcome is achieved by regularly repeating positive thoughts and using one’s imagination.
Self-Hypnosis (SH)
While Auto Suggestion is useful, WSSA has gone a step farther. It encourages its students to teach themselves self-hypnosis. Lee taught himself SH by studying Melvin Powers’ Practical Guide to Self-Hypnosis, and we urge students to study and apply the methods in this book.

Relaxing The Mind

Proper relaxation techniques are extremely important to help free our minds from chaos and to attain inner stability and tranquility. The slower you breathe the longer you live. So, how do we even go about this?

In this Part 1 video, Coach Prathusha explains her mind training regime in three stages: relaxation, visualization and repetition (ASTs).
