We all know that self hypnosis comes about through a self-induced hypnotic state, which achieves contact with the subconscious mind by means of self suggestion. The need to attain this state is of utmost importance, since through it many psychological problems can be tapped and corrected. The self-hypnotic induction of positive suggestions to the subconscious mind washes away the frustrations that are centered there, and replaces them with vibrant feelings of self-confidence, courage and self-mastery.

Self hypnosis, through the medium of self suggestion, can relieve the pains and fears of childbirth. It is also useful in many other areas, such as relieving people of such unpleasant habits such as nail biting and smoking, not to mention more major annoyances like insomnia or alcoholism, that, unfortunately, plague such a high percentage of our population today.

Ideas are important, positive ideas or suggestions are more important, but positive suggestions, transferred to the subconscious mind during the self hypnotic state, are most important, since they can sure ills that, otherwise, could neither be solved nor approached without subtle influences of self hypnosis.

There has, up to now, been very little written on the subject of self hypnosis. In fact, it is only in the last ten years or so that it has gained popularity. In the early days of hypnosis, the therapists sought to achieve directly the deep somnambulistic state. Starting with Dr. H. Bernheim (1840-1919), the founder of Nancy School of Hypnotism, who was the preceptor of Sigmund Freud, an exciting new technique was developed. He sought first to arrive at the more superficial layers of cataleptic states before attempting to achieve the ultimate state of hypnosis. Through this process, results were achieved more deliberately, and more effectively than ever before, since, through this procedure, the hypnosis achieved was of deeper quality than known before.

It was from Dr. Bernheim's experiments that now famous Dr. Emile Coue developed the practice of auto suggestion. His famous words, "Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better", have made his name a household word throughout the whole world.

At this point, I think it is necessary to differentiate between self hypnosis and auto suggestion, because they are not at all the same. In self hypnosis, the subjects contacts the subconscious mind, while in auto suggestion, he does not reach the subconscious mind at all. The superiority of self hypnosis to auto suggestion now becomes obvious. The levels of their effect differ considerably; one is superficial, the other is deep.

An average person uses positive language on a daily basis not realizing how closely this is allied to the practice of hypnosis. It is also true that we use auto suggestion in our daily affairs, without being aware of it.

When it comes to a subject like plumbing, occasionally it is interesting to get an overview of the subject. With that in mind, we give you the role of plumbing through the evolution of society.

The word plumbing derives from the Latin word for lead, plumbum. Plumbing is a skilled trade that works with pipes, tubing, and plumbing fixtures that are designed to provide potable water and to drain waste. Plumbing dates back to the earliest civilizations. The Romans, Persians, Indians, and Chinese all had rudimentary plumbing systems. They were often involved with the supply of water and waste removal was haphazard at best. It was in the palaces of the rulers that some of the earliest examples of indoor plumbing were found. The common people were pretty much on their own.

It was not that people did not desire comfort and privacy when performing basic functions. Archaeologists in China recently unearthed a 2,000 year old toilet in a tomb built for an Emperor. It was complete with running water, a stone seat, and a comfortable armrest. Of course, since it was in a tomb, it was intended for use after his death. There were really very little improvements in plumbing methods and materials for centuries. A relative of Queen Elizabeth made an attempt to manufacture a privy that would provide the Queen Mother with a little dignity and privacy, but he became a laughing stock as a result of his efforts. Another two hundred years would pass before more serious attempts would be made.

The invention of the flush toilet is widely assumed to be the work of one Thomas Crapper who was a London plumber in the 19th century. While it was true that he did patent several plumbing inventions, and headed a shop that produced, among other things, toilets, other men had actually done the real inventing before he came along. In World War I, American doughboys in England saw the name of Crappers shop on toilets around London. They coined the term crapper, and it has stuck especially in the military.

It was not until the mid 19th century that public sanitation, the need for potable water, the proper elimination of waste, and even the regular habit of bathing became common. It may have been because of the realization of the connection between unsanitary conditions and disease. The discovery of bacteria and the understanding of their role in diseases that had been killing people since the dawn of time may have been the catalyst that spurred the growth of plumbing. It may have just been that its time had arrived along with the other technological advances that have led us into a new edge.

Plumbing was certainly a growth industry during that Golden age when the civilized world was converting from no plumbing to full plumbing. Between the years of 1928 and 1954, the sales of plumbing products and water heating equipment went from 498 million dollars a year to a staggering 2.33 billion dollars a year. Now, potable or safe water is required by law in most developed nations. Proper sanitation and the safe removal of waste is the accepted norm. Plumbing has become a symbol of civilization, and retains its place among the ranks of the skilled professions of the world.
