How to become healthier and more successful?

Life has become much more difficult.

Our internal natural automatic self-regulation, which maintains internal balance, is malfunctioning. This stress is an overstrain of regulatory systems.

There are many ways to overcome stress, but only the right one, in which it becomes better not only during its action, but also in the aftereffect.

Here is a simple example. Is a cigarette an effective stress reliever? No. Because in this case, a spasm of the vessels of the brain occurs, and some time after its use, a new cigarette is also required. Therefore, a cigarette does not solve the problem of stress, and smoking becomes an addiction: now you do not feel normal until you smoke.

In order to quit smoking and not experience new stress — to lose a “holiday” in life, you need to restore your previous integrity, which was before smoking.

Having learned conscious self-regulation, we will be able to relieve our stress at will, transferring our internal “autopilot” to the “manual control” mode at a critical moment, this will help restore and maintain health and more fully realize our abilities and capabilities, while not experiencing addiction. from no one and nothing.

By maintaining inner harmony, we thereby preserve our human spiritual and physical integrity and therefore become more active and successful, and at the same time more capable of feeling joy from life.

INFORMATION PAUSE

Approach formula: strive to “fly”, and discard the manifested “ballast”.

For this, the KEY techniques are needed.

This is the most effective circuitry in which psychoanalysis, diagnostics, correction, and control of the effectiveness of correction, and psychological relief, and insight, and other rehabilitation and mobilization reactions occur organically in a single process.

And it looks incredibly simple. Because it matches nature.

Performance at the Social Rehabilitation Center with a residential area for veterans of wars and the Armed Forces

We get used to everything, such is the adaptive power of our body. We get used to fatigue, to feeling unwell, to old age. And so we get old. And you need not get used to it, but create an internal tuning fork for self-tuning!

And now, being already people, as they say, not young, let’s remember and restore our former youthful strength.

Remember that day, hour, minute when you were at your best. Let it be in childhood, in youth, in youth. Remember! Our memory is our wealth! Now we will restore our best condition!

You can close your eyes for convenience, if it’s more pleasant.

Now restore this state! Listen to yourself, what is stopping this?

Shoulder hurt?

Remember the shoulder a little, stroke it, turn your hand so that it is more comfortable so that the shoulder does not hurt.

Neck pressure? Massage your neck in a slightly pleasant way, find the most tense areas and “dissolve” them with strokes.

Have you remembered your best state? What prevents this? Breath? Breathe to make it easier. Yes, yes, just the way you like it, the way it is easier.

What else gets in the way of your best condition? Did you remember him?

Want to relieve stress? Does tension interfere? Do a nice little warm-up, move in a way that is easier, remember how at school in a physical education lesson? Do some warm-up exercises.

And there are also special exercises that help remove the manifested obstacles to the desired state. These are special key ideo-reflex techniques that relieve tension, induce relaxation and connect our best memories with the state of the body.

Hold your hands in front of you without tension, freely, so that they do not get tired, and give them a mental order so that they gently diverge in different directions, but as if by themselves! You do not push them with your muscles, let them go, automatically, do not rush, they will go! It works for everyone! You just need to wait a little, let them disperse, do not rush!

Went! Well done! They must have done well in school!

And did you succeed? Well done! Don’t you? Lower your hands, put them more comfortably. The main thing is that you tried and launched an internal pharmacy. You will feel the effect in a few minutes.

Look, her cheeks are already pink! See, the face is relaxed! Do you remember your best state? Yes? Just like then? Or is there something else missing? What is missing? Get up, walk around a bit, we want to see how you walk. Well, how? Don’t rush, don’t rush! Do you want to dance? Let’s take it slow. Eh! Be careful, be careful, how old are you, you say? Ninety? This I know, it seemed to me that you said that you feel like a few years old. For fifty? Well, go ahead! Just don’t rush, be careful!

What to do later, when you get back into life?

Repeat this procedure once a week to remember your youthful state, it will start rejuvenation in the body. And then they got used to aging, they lost the internal tuning fork for self-tuning. And this tuning fork will turn on the internal pharmacy, and you will begin to feel better, begin to heal!

Now remember so that you can do it all yourself!

First. You need to sit down and relax.

Second. You need to start remembering your best state in life — remember childhood, youth.

This will reveal what is preventing it. For example, there will be some discomfort in the body.

Remove them, these sensations that interfere with a good state.

To do this, you have an arsenal of basic and additional techniques: massage of the points on the back of the head, which I showed, neck massage, light physical exercises that relieve tension and tightness; and you also have special unique tricks of the KEY — ideo-reflex tricks with spreading and bringing hands together, in which hand movements should occur automatically according to your mental commands.

These techniques relieve tension and cause pleasant relaxation, comfort, and a sense of well-being.

It is up to you to determine which of these techniques you need in a particular case in order to remove those obstacles that prevent you from reproducing the state of youth.

Remember! The effect comes not only when you do this procedure, but more later, when you have already completed it. You just need to sit quietly, passively, for two or three minutes. And then — clear skies! And you will have a wonderful evening! This is how health and youth are restored.

Are you so young?

But how? I’m talking about this!

INFORMATION PAUSE

The KEY is mobilization and relaxation.

Mobilization is achieved by removing nerve clamps, by liberation.

This is a weak degree of relaxation, cutting off the tip of the iceberg of nervous tension, through which energy opens up.

And a deeper degree of this relaxation is the so-called relaxation, useful for recovery.

That’s how nature works! I relaxed a little when I was nervous, and self-confidence came!

Is it possible to reduce high blood pressure with the help of the KEY?

Yes, you can, the method helps to lower blood pressure, reduce medication.

And it helps not only from pressure: from headache, insomnia, fatigue, in the treatment of osteochondrosis, vegetative-vascular dystonia, bronchial asthma, etc.

But for this you need, firstly, to train with the KEY, and secondly, be sure to consult with your doctor.

Remember: psychological problems are solved faster, physiological problems are solved more slowly, they have their own “material” time.

You can learn to manage your nervous state fairly quickly.

Author’s digression

I had a painful condition. It’s always like this: as soon as I finish a book, the tension grows! I’m suffering. It’s like giving birth to a child. Creation. Responsibility. I write without an editor, as I write, it will be, I want to write well so that there is benefit from me. I walk up and down the room, tapping my fingers, rocking in my chair. There is almost no time left, and the manuscript must be submitted on time.

That’s when there is no time, when everything interferes, and the thing needs to be done, you remember that you need to organize yourself, find in yourself the optimal state that you need for work, discard the chaos in your head, calm down, find harmony in yourself.

After all, when you come to this need, to self-regulation — when you cannot solve the problem with ordinary forces and in your usual way.

Sat on the sofa. I began to think, what exactly do I want to get in myself now in order to submit the manuscript as soon as possible? He closed his eyes and thought.

I understood: I want to have that state of clarity in my head that I had in childhood, when my head was clear, when I was not yet deformed by stresses, problems, age, hardships of life. Restore former integrity!

He closed his eyes, began to relax and remember the time when his soul was clear and good.

I remembered my grandfather, his house by the lake, birches, weeping willows, whose branches are immersed in the calm water of the lake. Wow! I was small, but for some reason I naturally understood that willows were weeping! And that it is as if these willows and the lake live not in our fussy, fast time, but in another, cosmic time, in their secular, thousand-year-old, boundless world.

My neck is pulled, my vessel is clamped with a rib, a painful feeling.

That’s what prevents me from experiencing a truly state of clarity in my head.

I remember my neck, I think I will do as I teach my patients to remove the obstacles that appear when adjusting to the desired state.

I crumpled, did a short massage of the “Feng Chi” points on the back of my head, searched for those points on my head that are more sensitive, “dissolved” their tension with a light massage. Then he threw back his head slightly, as comfortable as possible, and began to relax again. Does not work. He shook his head back and forth in search of a position in which you will leave your head like that, and you don’t want to move anymore, you want to freeze, numb, so as not to alarm the upcoming state of relaxation.

But it didn’t work out.

Stretched out his hands in front of him. I began to imagine that they were breaking up. Did not work out. Then I put them down and again looked for the position of the head.

Now, after the receptions, I found it, froze.

I want clarity in my head! I began to think about what else could help me in relaxation.

Grandfather’s house by the lake opened in my memory, I woke up every time, and birch trees in the window. Lake! How good it was for us children by the lake! And the street on which grandfather’s house stood was called Ozernaya. There is a river between the lake and grandfather’s house. In the summer we went swimming in the river.

Then, already becoming an adult, passing by the river, every time I was surprised how we could swim in it, because of the narrowness of the banks in this river it was impossible to move! And then swim! And they swam from shore to shore, who is faster! And they fished.

Dozed off. Woke up. I remembered.

I am small, my mother read a book to me about Karas Karasevich, who lived in the river and went to visit other fish with an umbrella (wow, what is my memory now, I can’t remember their names). After that, I kept walking by the river and persuaded the guys not to fish in the river!

And from this memory I somehow felt joyful and warm in my soul: now, I think how good I am, that I felt sorry for the fish in the river!

From the feeling that I am good, it became clearer in my head!

What kind of state did I instinctively seek for myself in order to do responsible work — to hand over the book on time?

I remembered my childhood, in childhood we were protected.

We had both a grandmother and a grandfather, and we could play freely, dream without fear of a mistake. We were natural.

And now we are adults. And now we have a responsibility.

It turns out that in order to be happy, you need to return to childhood?

Not! Each age has its own advantages. Adult mind, experience.

You just need to connect the adult mind with natural naturalness! I have a KEY.

Yes, now we are protected again!

Having mastered our condition, we can now think freely, but also on a responsible topic!

Well, psychoanalysis with psychological relief!

Got up, warmed up a bit, wrote this part of the book!

It contains the logic and circuitry of the sequence of actions, where a positive goal is set for the techniques that you will learn about from the relevant chapters of the book, and remove obstacles to its achievement.

Well, the details — a lake or Karas Karasevich with an umbrella — everyone has their own.

The KEY is effective from the first application, even for those who “do not succeed” in tricks

A person working with a computer will easily understand this.

There is such a thing — «hanging».

This is when you press the keys, and the screen is «stands».

In the computer part of the human brain, a similar “freeze” occurs during stress: signals are received, but the brain does not seem to react. For example, a man is walking down the street, suddenly — pain in his right side, he thinks: is it appendicitis, the imagination was played out. His comrade pats him on the shoulder: are you in a trance, can’t you see the traffic light?

Stress is an uncontrollable trance. Focused on the problem, stuck …

Example. At a methodological lesson among officers of the military space forces, one of them complained: everyone has good tricks, but he doesn’t! Hands do not «float»!

Then he sat down, crossed his legs and, turning to everyone, exclaimed:

“I figured out why my tricks didn’t work! My son is getting married in two weeks, and my wife and I are constantly thinking about where we will get the money, how we will gather people. And now I sat down after these receptions and thought: “Why are we the first, or what? And we’ll find money, and we’ll call people, and everything will be fine with us!”

When you try to make a controlled ideo-reflex reception, the so-called switching of the brain stress dominant occurs (like switching gears in a car gearbox), and this provides the brain with the possibility of the so-called psychological unloading and rebooting. In other words, brain cells come out of a state of stagnant overexcitation and begin to react normally, accumulating a supply of new fresh forces during this “peaceful respite” of relaxation.

This happens even in cases where the reception is not complete. The effect comes a little later.

For example, we practiced for five minutes with the KEY, went to do business and suddenly caught ourselves thinking that it became easier, as if a mountain had been lifted from our shoulders!

What will happen to you. About what exactly will happen after training with the KEY

You live your life. You are doing something. You smile at someone. You are holding on to something. You may or may not be distracted.

But it’s time … in the second grade. Learn a new quality of life.

The sooner you learn to deal with stress, it is easier to concentrate, easier to switch and restore strength, the more vital energy you save for creative purposes.

These qualities are tools for life, relating to everything and everything — learning, communication, and any other activity.

If you do not get them earlier, you have to acquire them during your life.

By playing tennis, you learn this. When you read a book, you learn this. Even dancing, you learn this…

And if you learn this faster, then everything else is already easier, and therefore better.

We ourselves sometimes misunderstand how much we do not know how to manage ourselves. And when making decisions, we often underestimate the power over us of other people’s opinions. For example, Ostap Bender at I. Ilf and E. Petrov danced with inspiration all evening with a chair and composed poetry, and in the morning it turned out that these were Pushkin’s poems.

It is very important for any person, especially in a big noisy city, to be able to be alone with himself for at least five minutes a day. Get rid of the hustle and bustle and external impressions, relieve the anxieties and worries of the day, be in this silence with yourself. Feel yourself, your nature, look at yourself and circumstances as if from the outside, separate your thoughts from others, understand what you want and how best to achieve it. How good it is to be able to hear among the cacophony of the outer world orchestra and your own inner music!

You, and by nature itself, tend to «think.»

From time to time, at least for a moment, you abandon the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in yourself. Whatever you are doing — whether you are watching hockey or working on a project — anyway, in some seconds, moments, you often, without even noticing it, are left alone with yourself. There are people who do this more often than others. There are anxious and suspicious people who constantly listen to themselves, looking for problems in themselves. When we listen to ourselves with a sense of anxiety, additional negative self-suggestions arise each time.

Listening to yourself is not an invention, it is a human property. In the same way, when a computer is turned on, it scans itself, checking the health of internal systems.

After training with the KEY, your life will be radically easier

You remain the same — listening to yourself. But at the same time, now every time you listen to yourself, consciously or even instinctively you look for not only “breakdowns” in yourself, but an unusually wonderful healing state of inner lightness experienced when searching for the KEY.

And therefore, every time you listen to yourself, you are already regulating yourself, “pulling up” your internal systems. Your self-checking property becomes a self-improvement property.

This is a new quality of life, when you constantly and even imperceptibly improve yourself and your well-being.

This is a way of passive application of self-regulation, which is realized after the way of active self-regulation — training with the KEY.

People who have gone through this school claim that they have received a sense of inner protection.

Previously, stress could dominate you, but now you will be both, as it were, a participant in the event, and at the same time, as if it were a witness. Your abilities will expand.

And you will be less tired, because your body will begin to spend less energy and will be in a state of intense self-renewal.

You will have a new ability — a subtle sense of inner balance: you will be able to feel when and how you lose your efficiency and how to restore it faster.

You will begin to understand yourself and others better, and therefore you will become wiser: more demanding of yourself and more tolerant of others.

You will become easier to navigate in difficult situations, more free to adapt to new things and recover from illnesses faster.

You will learn easier and faster.

You will begin to feel the signals of intuition better and will be able to find inspiration in yourself at the moment you want …

You will live a fuller life with less damage to health and achieve your dreams faster.

Your gait will become light, your muscles will become elastic, and your eyes will become clear and radiant.

Why is this necessary in relation to education?

A person cannot help but love.

Man cannot create.

These are his natural human qualities.

And the genius of the simplicity of the solution turns out to be that the traditional principle of learning by repeatedly repeating techniques until the degree of their automatism is developed here is replaced by a new principle — the principle of selecting a reaction that is ready for automatic switching on by a volitional signal.

INFORMATION PAUSE

The XNUMXst century will be not only technological, but also psychological.

Your psychological problems are solved by the KEY method.

The result of Russian laziness is a godsend for super-busy people!

The KEY is effective from the first application.

You will receive new strengths and sensations that were previously inaccessible to you.

In terms of availability and efficiency in extreme conditions, the KEY has no analogues in the world.

The KEY allows both to block acute stress or a long-term negative trace of stressful situations (rehabilitation), and to prepare for them — to increase resistance to stress (anti-stress training).

If for some reason a person does not realize himself, stress arises, which eventually develops into a crisis of illness. Or in the «unemployed» crisis.

A person has been «blocked» since childhood. And may not fully realize their potential.

In this, defects in birth, upbringing, and training play a significant role. And therefore, the original natural abilities and prospects of a person may be limited.

How can we say today, in the XNUMXst century, that the school has always been reasonable, that the social system has always contributed to the disclosure of precisely the best qualities and abilities in people? There are shortcomings in education, upbringing, and the social system, which is why revolutions, reformations, and modernization take place.

The KEY system is a modern psychology, philosophy and technology of the key points of human self-awareness and knowledge of the world, which helps to maintain harmony in oneself at ever newer levels of development. This is not only a modern, compact and uniquely accessible method of increasing resistance to stress, but also an effective tool for working on oneself, for developing the desired personal, creative, business and professional qualities.

Having learned to relieve stress and get rid of complexes, fears, stereotypes of thinking, having mastered the harmonizing state of self-regulation, which compensates for defects in birth and external influences, sifting out random goals and thoughts inspired by chaos and impressions, a person thereby maintains his mental and physical integrity and through this — its original human essence, capable of talented development.

So in adulthood we can retain our natural childish genius, learn to discover and use our undiscovered abilities.

The main human need is an evolutionary need — in the realization of one’s abilities. Abilities are both a powerful «condensed» genetic charge and the experience of previous generations that needs to be discharged. Otherwise — stress, personality deformation, destruction of health.

All the «shortcomings» of a person, his «weaknesses» — from improper involvement in life; they can become strengths if a person is mindful of his own business.

A beautiful flower that opens

in drops of fresh dew,

Taking and giving light…

So the man is happy

in revealing their abilities,

giver and taker in life… everything.

How do we want to see the hero of our time

The meaning of life is revealed through the realization of abilities.

The thoughts recorded in this book are, as they say, in the air.

This is the desire, for example, to ensure that the priority direction in education is the education of not only an educated, but also a noble person.

No education system can be useful to people, to the country, if education takes place outside the context of higher human values. The main thing is to educate a person who is not only knowledgeable and skillful, capable of achieving the goal, but achieving the goal, taking into account the choice of means. Porno business, drug trafficking, weapons, war — all these highly profitable industries are based on the exploitation of human weaknesses, while the education system should develop in people the motivation to create programs, although commercial, but enhancing the best human qualities.

This is also about the fact that Russia cannot succeed by only mechanically copying models, even among more advanced countries (in particular, education models), because the cultures of the West, East and Russia have their own unique specific features.

This is about how important it is to teach children the skills of personal development, the ability to self-knowledge and reveal their talents, the ability to find their place in the sun.

Because the braking forces in Russia also lie in the fact that not everyone is busy with their own business today. Hence the stress. Because when a person is not busy with his own business, there is no correspondence between his internal state and his activity, and tension and stress grow from this discrepancy between the soul and the body.

This is also about how important it is to teach children conscious self-regulation — the ability to cope with stress.

Mom will say, for example, to a child: “Don’t swing your leg, pull yourself together!”

And what about nervous tension? How can even an adult without pills, alcohol, without being distracted from business, get the desired state of inner freedom and self-confidence? And being yourself — to be comfortable for others?

This is also about how, in essence, the mentality of Russia differs from the cultures of the West and the East.

And what is revealed in this book purely Russian principle — the principle of the KEY — breakthrough technology, — the principle of positive thinking, based on the freedom of choice in accordance with individuality, the principle of selection by enumeration, which, in combination with the traditional principle of learning by repetition, helps a person quickly find his face.

About the principle of the KEY, which is breakthrough because, unlike the traditional principle of step-by-step achievement of the goal “step by step” (after which you can lose the goal), according to the Russian mentality, it is tuned immediately to the result, to the ideal — “To immediately and effortlessly! «.

And by this, as a criterion of optimality, it stimulates the search creative activity of the brain, allows you to find optimal solutions in accordance with the individual properties of the individual. Today, the KEY principle has become extremely relevant, as traditional approaches to learning such as «Do it!» or “Do as I do!”, which develop the ability to achieve goals based on imitation, requiring perseverance, diligence, diligence, turned out to be insufficiently effective for improving the quality of life in people, developing the ability to think creatively and sensibly.

The book also contains new unique KEY techniques that relieve stress automatically.

Choosing the KEY to himself, the student, with the help of a psychologist, masters a tool for self-knowledge, work on himself, his character, opens a sense of harmony, learns to develop the desired qualities and abilities in a targeted manner.

A KEY to oneself is necessary for both the student and the teacher:

□ to improve the quality of education and maintain health under high loads;

□ to develop the ability of teachers and children to find the best psychological contact in communication;

□ And most importantly — the KEY helps both teachers and children to develop positive thinking — optimism, the ability to creatively process problem situations, the ability to «create works out of tragedies», to find optimal solutions in extreme situations.

The KEY to yourself should become the basic basis for the entire educational, rehabilitation or other complex, since self-regulation skills increase the effectiveness of training, training, health improvement and any other activity.

Today every student needs to know this.

Because we strive for freedom.

Because freedom begins with the ability to manage oneself.

Because if a person does not know how to manage himself, others begin to manage him.

THROUGH THE TURNS TO THE STARS

With the help of the KEY, the ability to achieve inner harmony opens, the ability to see the world, people through personal problems; through the vanity — eternity; to see through chaos and pandemonium, without focusing on personal problems and tragedies, the divine beauty of the depth of the order of life is a divine work, and be happy. Because, being able to see beauty, you can realize your happiness. Because, being able to see beauty, you are never alone.

The paradox of school education

To understand means to reveal the meaning: to establish connections between causes and effects, to find a place for the «new» in one’s inner picture of the world from the height of one’s ideals.

One of the key problems of learning is that learning more often occurs as mastering the ways of processing information, rather than revealing its meaning, and therefore the mastered material does not help, but is an additional burden. Another key problem of learning is that we learn in the same psychological state, and we have to apply the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in various, sometimes even extreme, circumstances.

And here it all depends on who manages his condition and how.

Knowing yourself — open the world.

The KEY to yourself is the KEY to victory!

This is true, there is no other way.

The world is revealed to man through self-knowledge.

Feeling our pain and joy, we better understand the pain and joy of others.

And a person often judges people by himself.

They say: do not judge by yourself!

(And we would add — take into account your condition!)

Even when drawing someone’s portrait, the artist involuntarily endows the person depicted with his own features.

And the school, if you look closely, is a learning environment in which the student follows the path of self-education.

Therefore, sometimes the questions that arise in the student’s head do not coincide with the information that is given to him in the classroom.

Some of them are later said that he did not study very well at school, was of poor ability, and grew up — Einstein.

It has been proven that a person controls what he is aware of, everything else controls him.

famous example. A group of «experts» was asked to give a psychological description of the interlocutor. And it turned out, according to the design of the experiment, that they themselves, and not the interlocutor, were the subjects. Each of them, defining the interlocutor, attributed his features to the interlocutor. The one who was selfish could not believe in selflessness; one who was by nature kind, attributed to the interlocutor the ability to empathize, etc. Especially often those traits were attributed to the interlocutor, in which the «experts» were not aware of.

And we would add — take into account your condition!

When a person is in “balance”, he is ready to see the best in the interlocutor, while a person close to a nervous breakdown is able to attribute to the interlocutor even negative traits that do not exist.

From childhood we hear: “Know thyself!”

We hear about self-improvement, that the greatest victory is the victory over oneself.

And we ourselves advise each other to learn to pull ourselves together, learn to manage our condition.

And there is no such lesson at school yet.

Because this is not an easy lesson — to teach a child to manage not only his behavior, but also his condition. The method of self-knowledge and work on oneself that is accessible and understandable for a schoolchild is only being worked out. And this book serves that development.

In the meantime, there is no such lesson in self-knowledge, a worried mother can find a teenage son with a bag on his head in the basement, inhaling a drug, or in a sect singing «Hare Krishna», where in the first case due to the drug, and in the second — due to rituals with repeated rhythmic actions, mental or physical, a state of blissful emancipation arises.

Because in fact, people only do, no matter what they are doing (and especially at a transitional, critical age), that they instinctively look for themselves, test themselves and are busy searching for the meaning of life, and not having a simple and affordable way to do this, often entangled in the trials themselves.

If a mother or a child knew what and how affects their body, how various states are achieved, they would become more protected, they could manage their state in the direction they need, without any harm or dependence from outside.

What does it mean to know yourself?

What does it mean to find the KEY to yourself?

Measure your weight? Study your habits?

You can deal with these particulars indefinitely, forever repeating the same life mistakes and remaining forever dissatisfied with yourself.

No, the problem here is more global: not quantitative, but qualitative, structural — to seize control over the innermost state of harmony between soul and body, necessary for a person to realize his own «I» and maintain health, through which, it turns out, not only a holistic psychophysiological self-organization occurs personality, but also the use of the potential of previous evolution and the transfer of personal achievements to the genetics of generations.

This state of harmony between the mind and body — the basis of the state of inner freedom — has always been known, and was called differently by all peoples. And it turns out that it is the psychophysiological basis of the mathematical intuition of the concept of «zero», the phenomenon of «presence-absence».

And at school, for the time being, it is probably assumed that the skills of self-knowledge and work on oneself are formed on their own, during, for example, physical education, literature or mathematics. Therefore, in the fifth or sixth lesson, the students sit with absent faces. They sit tired, without suspecting it, that this “emptiness” in the head is the restorative state that protects them, the same “nirvana” that underlies self-improvement systems, revealing the basis of the wisdom of life, if, of course, you know how to consciously manage your state.

For example, you want to cheer yourself up, and you are depressed, while someone’s smile or a casual compliment can cause a burst of energy or even inspiration without any effort on your part.

This is where the paradox arises: do you manage yourself or someone else?

Unfortunately, even in public opinion, the one who holds himself more confidently, for example, in front of a TV camera or microphone, wins more often than the one who actually has something to say.

This is because when it is difficult for people to understand the essence of the matter, instinct works: the one who behaves more confidently knows what to do.

And to maintain clarity of mind and self-confidence in emotional situations, to be able to control oneself in any communication, and especially in front of a television camera or microphone, is difficult even for experienced actors who not only memorize roles, but also specially learn techniques for relieving nervous clamps.

But, as practice shows, the techniques work if they correspond to the individuality of a person and the characteristics of his nervous system, if not, it is a waste of time and energy and violence against oneself. That is why this book uses the «Pick Your Key» program and provides related practical recommendations.

Self-regulation skills are especially needed where we cannot achieve the desired result in the usual, familiar way, and we need to connect additional resources to the task.

In this book, there is a system of personal development, learning from which you gain the ability to relieve congestion, begin to become more aware of yourself, your goals and understand how to achieve them.

If a person does not know how to manage himself, others begin to manage him.

This applies to everyone, and first of all to teachers, who are not only a source of knowledge for the student, but also a living embodiment of the world to which they lead with their education.

Entering the classroom and not radiating charm, it is difficult to count on the success of the lesson.

And it does not depend on how much you know about how best to teach the lesson.

Because in order to do what you understand, you need an inner balance that ensures harmony between the achievements of the mind and the state of the soul.

Example. Everyone, for example, knows that peace is better than war, that the best way for people to survive is cooperation! And that you can’t build anything on conflict! And still there are wars, there are conflicts! Everyone, for example, knows that benevolence and an encouraging smile sometimes decide more than the most cunning diplomacy! But everyone also knows how difficult it is to smile even at a neighbor if you have had a toothache all night and a heavy head in the morning!

Internal disharmony also creates life problems, determines your successes and failures.

After all, how good it is when you had a great night’s sleep, when you have a holiday in your soul, when you go, for example, to a lesson, with the feeling that they are waiting for you, that you are useful!

How good it is when you are a creator! When you are a giver!

In this state of harmony, the state of the creator, you skillfully turn any remark, even the most caustic phrase of the student into a fulcrum, successfully use it to better teach the lesson.

In this state of the creator, you feel everyone as a whole, like a mother. And you don’t even get offended by an offensive word. You think: “Maybe he didn’t get enough sleep, he didn’t get enough love, or maybe he’s hungry …”

And you want to help him.

But if there is no balance, any replica is a spark. And you lose your balance even more, you forget that you should be useful, you begin to defend yourself, assert yourself, irritation grows in you, you can scream, say hurtful words.

But why?

Who will hear you when you are irritated?

We are heard when there are signals of love, cooperation, support, help in our voice.

And no one needs us when we shout, because the louder the voice, the less they listen to the meaning of what was said.

When we are nervous, we are children.

You hear me?!

Or don’t you hear?

I tell you!

I’m screaming at you!

When I scream — as small as children,

How in the cradle I scream!

And next to us is your voice, just as loud and empty!

Voice in the wilderness!

Running on short waves

on the heads and on the legs. And returning to us!

Which only mother hears.

And only mom is next to us. Forever attached to us.

Tell yourself: I am the Sun!

And what can be done so special with this method?

What is stopping us from living?

What prevents us from living is that we are afraid of ourselves and each other.

For example, I go to you and worry: how will you accept it, how will it turn out, will I not fail?

And every time we meet with the Unknown, we are tense, we defend ourselves, we assert ourselves. We are like soldiers at the front, as if we are only being attacked, we are like strangers.

Maybe we carried this self-doubt from childhood, when we were more often scolded than praised for good deeds. And this is not because someone, perhaps, was disliked. It’s just that children have a lot of energy, a lot of “why”, and children often hear: “This is impossible, that is impossible!”

Or does this self-doubt arise because we judge everyone by ourselves? For example, I think that everyone is terribly busy and that no one needs me! Because I’m terribly busy myself!

And I, an adult, overcome this complex of self-doubt with my mind — I go and say to myself: “I am going to help, I am useful, which means I am needed, which means I am good, I am the Sun!”

And in order to find agreement with myself, to connect the achievements of the mind with the state of the soul, I remember this “connecting” state of inner harmony mastered during training with the KEY. My optimal state. My tuning fork.

And my heart suddenly warms up.

Maybe it’s immodest to say to yourself: «I am good, I am the Sun»? And what, would it be better if I felt like a gray stone lying on your road?

The difference between the cultures of the West, East and Russia. The problem of parents

What is freedom?

External freedom and internal freedom are not the same thing.

Otherwise, «free» Americans would not have created an army of psychoanalysts.

While the West was concerned with the outward emancipation of man, the East was concerned with his inner freedom.

From the point of view of geopolitical structural psychophysiology, the attention of a Western person is directed outward, he is looking for support in external activities, his freedom is freedom of choice, this is the dominant of material values, and the attention of an Eastern person is directed inward, he is looking for the Universe in himself, his freedom is it is free will, it is the dominant of spiritual values.

In Russia, the crossroads between West and East, there is a search for a balance between the inner and outer freedom of a person, the swing of the «pendulum» between the dominant material and spiritual values, and therefore — rewriting its history every time anew.

Western society created the institution of democracy because the attention of the Western man is directed outward.

The Western man has delegated internal contact with himself to the society and carries out through the society.

For example, an American received a “difficult” letter, goes to his psychoanalyst, asks if it is normal that he is depressed.

— A heavy letter? the psychoanalyst asks.

Yes, it’s heavy!

— Well, then it’s okay! says the psychoanalyst.

– If it’s normal, then it’s okay!

And so it calms down.

Society stands between the man of the West and his inner state, society adopts laws, members of society use these laws and consider themselves free in the process.

You need to know the specifics of cultures. For example, a Russian who reads about “flying yogis” in India should know that books in the East do not mean flying in the literal sense, but “flying within oneself”.

The mechanical copying of the models of the West and the East in Russia leads to a «split personality» of Russians.

At the same time, some people turn into so-called businessmen, for whom the criterion of truth is material values, and some into so-called psychics, who are fascinated by ideas about “superpowers” ​​based on the practices of spiritual experience.

At the same time, parents do not know what values ​​to focus on when raising children, since it is difficult for a person with ideals to survive in a social crisis, and a normal parental instinct protests against the upbringing of cynical «businessmen».

And rightly protests parental instinct.

Because a person is basically a single spiritual and physical entity, and both freedom of choice and freedom of will are equally important to him, both external freedom and internal freedom.

Finding a balance between material and spiritual values ​​is Russia’s historical mission, its contribution to world culture.

To be able to find balance in oneself is a necessity for every person.

The exceptional value of Russia in the world and its possibility of intensive qualitative development lies in the realization of its leading role as a creative mediator between the cultures of the West and the East.

Because neither the dominance of material values, nor the dominant of spiritual values ​​necessary for sustainable development, by themselves alone can be a support for all mankind.

Russia tends to learn quickly. Most Russians have already experienced, in particular, the methods of both relaxation and meditation, got acquainted with NLP and auto-training, learned to be critical of the so-called psychics and hypnotists, having already realized that you don’t have to wait for miracles, that you need to rely on yourself, be able to independently manage your state.

And that is why it is in Russia that the KEY method was created, which works on new qualitative principles and is accessible to everyone.

The KEY to managing your wealth

The KEY is a way to search for an internal connection between consciousness and the body in order to create inner harmony and control one’s state.

The KEY was created for the conditions of severe external and temporary restrictions, under which a person could help himself relieve stress, nervous clamps, overcome psychological barriers, and regulate the functioning of the body.

What does it do?

Say to yourself, for example, in an exam: “Calm down!” — but the heart does not obey, pounding, there are not enough internal feedbacks between the consciousness and the body.

And then you need a KEY — a kind of temporary internal intermediary between consciousness and the body.

As such a temporary intermediary, any reaction of the body that is more accessible to conscious control can be used. It can be a sensation of warmth in the body, easily evoked by will, a color image or a reflex movement, or any other reaction of the body, easily evoked by volition.

Thus, acting from the simple to the complex, using an intermediary, you create the opportunity to achieve control over those functions of the body that were previously inaccessible to conscious control.

Now you say to yourself, for example, in an exam: “Calm down!” – and it becomes so.

Say to yourself, for example, that blood pressure decreases, and it becomes like this …

INFORMATION PAUSE

Do you want to be free, do you want to learn how to fly?

Extend your arms in front of you, dream that they, like wings, begin to diverge to the sides!

Incredible, right? But this is a scientific fact — a controlled ideo-reflex movement!

This is a tightness test, which is unique in that it simultaneously relieves tightness.

By learning such key movements, you learn to manage your condition, get rid of complexes, overcome stereotypes of thinking and psychological barriers.

The KEY is a paradox for the mind: the movements are conscious but automatic. Therefore, they free the brain from the usual logic, opening up new perspectives.

These movements are special — semi-external, semi-internal. On the one hand, they model Western external activity, that is, mechanical movement, and at the same time, these are internal movements (reflex reactions of the body), modeling Eastern, deep self-regulation.

And by connecting the West and the East in this way, you discover a balance in yourself — a state of inner freedom.

KEY could only be born in Russia

The KEY to yourself is the key to systems (this is not a method among methods, but a KEY to your own method).

The KEY is a way of a short entry into the control system of the functional state of the organism.

Each country is proud of its achievements. Because it is a unique resource and opportunity for the development of the country in the community of countries. Russia is still evaluating its inventions in terms of their assessment and demand for USD. And how well the Russian classic expressed this trend: “You will not appreciate your own achievements, tomorrow you will beg at someone else’s window!”

The KEY system is a Russian achievement, born between the West and the East.

With the help of the KEY, the effectiveness of various methods of teaching, training, and health programs is increased.

Including — Eastern and Western, for example, qigong, yoga, meditation, martial arts.

By the way, at the heart of all the methods of the world — Chinese qi-gong gymnastics, Indian yoga, Japanese meditation, methods of psychotherapy, psycho-correction, psychoanalysis, American NLP and even aerobics — there are two main deep operating factors: the state of mental relaxation that arises in this case, and direction of its use. This may be a setting for recovery, adaptation, creativity, development of abilities and qualities.

The conversation of a psychologist or psychotherapist gives a real effect if an element of relaxation was created in the conversation (a condition through which the brain dominant is switched). Then it is no longer just a conversation, but a technology.

The KEY is short access to mental relaxation (where there is no time and conditions for training and classes). The KEY was born in Russia, because each culture creates its own methods.

This became possible only now, when a criterion previously unknown to world science for the individual selection of techniques was discovered — the readiness of the reaction to turn on reflexively in response to a volitional signal.

Without a special state of special internal emancipation, qi-gong, psychotherapy, even physical education, is just ordinary mechanical work that does not give much benefit.

Because even physical exercises give the maximum effect only when a connection (harmony) controlled by your goal arises between the “physics” (body) and “psyche” (soul), which is created through mental relaxation — a state of internal liberation through the removal of nerve clamps. Japanese meditation, Indian yoga postures, Chinese qigong exercises, German auto-training, American NLP and even aerobics — all this is kept in the world only due to the fact that approximately 30% of people spontaneously experience this special state of inner lightness and pleasure when they are performed.

For those who do not have this special state of harmonizing liberation, all these exercises and methods can be mechanical and therefore of little use.

Because the point is not in the methods, but in how suitable they are for a given individuality of a person.

Therefore, the question arises: how high is their effectiveness in comparison with the efforts expended on it?

If you think about it, the effectiveness of physical education is negligible in comparison with how much effort you have to give, doing these exercises every day throughout your life.

What is it?

Why don’t most people do exercise?

Because there is a key mistake in recommending doing these exercises every day.

Firstly, because, not being able to do them every day, a person does not do it at all, thinking that without daily regularity there will be no benefit.

And most importantly, because if you do physical education every day, then the natural adaptation of the body sets in, the effectiveness of the applied efforts is lost, and then in order to achieve the same desired result, you have to increase the load, do these exercises more and more. This is how dependence appears — until you run back your two hours, you don’t feel like a person.

Instead of increasing the load, it is better to take dosed breaks. And then every time the body responds to exercise in a new way; again, as for the first time, freshness and cheerfulness appear.

When we know that we can do something without having to do it every day, it becomes easier for us to do it.

There is a deep truth in this, these are the laws of the body’s work. Therefore, most people do not exercise, and not because everyone around is stupid and lazy.

But the one who likes to train every day, so be it; this means that it suits him, he experiences the discovery of a special pleasant state of lightness and pleasure during physical exercises.

Using the techniques of the KEY as part of physical education, everyone can liberate themselves and perform exercises with great pleasure and benefit, without any violence against themselves.

Each method has a history, mentality and culture and therefore requires a corresponding change in mentality and lifestyle from the person who uses it. If you strictly follow the recommendations of Indian yoga, then in accordance with them you need to change your way of life and thoughts and, therefore, gradually become an «Indian». According to the Chinese system, one becomes a “Chinese”, according to the Japanese system, one becomes a “Japanese”.

Auto-training, for example, is the achievement of German culture and requires the development of techniques of characteristic phasing and pedantry. In the most classic method of teaching autogenic training, the author I. Schultz categorically states that you cannot move on to the next technique until you have mastered the previous one. This method is built on a phased development through repeated repetition of techniques. And if it doesn’t work? In Russia, this method did not go; everyone knows about it, but it is used mainly in sanatoriums, to the music.

The Russian mentality is different from the German one, a Russian person wants to “open wide”, fly, get everything at once, and not sit in a motionless position for hours, repeating exercises like: the leg is warm, the hand is warm … And a person, for example, with vegetative-vascular dystonia often has hands cold, to establish contact between the consciousness and the body, he would first cause cold there, and then heat. But this is the KEY. And according to the rules of autogenic training, he will stubbornly, day after day, cause heat, contrary to the laws of his body. So he masters the exercises for years: «Repeat until you succeed.»

And in the KEY, by enumeration, we select what is obtained.

And it turns out that on the wave of lightness arising from this, physical education exercises are no longer just movements, this is already your flight, this is your dance, this is your song. It turns out that when there is harmony, you are one with the Flight!

The great Hans Selye, a Canadian physiologist, discovered the problem of stress, and the Russian KEY for self-regulation helps to solve it.

… A well-known writer told me that he did not need to be convinced of the usefulness of the method. Because his wife, a professor of medicine, despite her overweight, has never done physical exercises in her life, and now, after one lesson with the KEY, she has been doing it every morning with pleasure for two years and flies like a bird for five minutes. And he looks at it every morning for two years, and every time he looks at it, he is surprised …

And waiting for this book — for the «lazy».

INFORMATION PAUSE

The KEY to yourself allows you to find in yourself the state that you need.

It is necessary for those who do not have time

The KEY system is a breakthrough in the technology of developing programs.

It is based on the principle of selection by enumeration instead of the principle of learning by repetition (or in addition to it).

The KEY uses guided ideo-reflex techniques to develop self-regulation skills that automatically relieve stress.

The KEY removes the feeling of stiffness, helps to maintain clarity of mind in extreme situations and be more confident in yourself, recover faster, learn better, train, heal.

Morning of a new day

• Myths and information
• Separate tricks from reality
• KEY for «enlightenment»
• What will he be like, the man of the future?

If we separate myths from information in some advertisements about yoga or other similar systems of self-knowledge, free from tricks that amaze the imagination of young people who are drawn to the knowledge of the mysterious phenomena of the human psyche, then there will remain something that, perhaps, does not attract attention at all. They are maximalists, young people, they do not seem to need all this, although this is actually the goal of achieving all systems of self-improvement.

This is an increase in resistance to stress, a sense of proportion, the ability to find in yourself the state that you need, for example, in creativity or other responsible situations, the ability to restore the balance of mental and physical balance, get less tired, and easier to mobilize.

Well, what kind of special fatigue does a young man have? Even if it is, this fatigue, he wants something else! He wants to fly, reveal to him the secrets of levitation and telepathy.

It is already with age that the desire comes, so that simply the head does not hurt or that the sleep is good. So that the morning was like morning, like the morning of a new day! As it happened in childhood, when you wake up in the morning after a heroic childhood dream, and the day ahead seems big and interesting to you, full of possible discoveries and surprises. And not like it is now — not with a feeling of the morning of a new day, but with a feeling of the continuation of yesterday’s day, as in a gray corridor …

A young man striving to search for the meaning of life, to know the truth, to make humanity happy, he has other spiritual needs.

No, give the young man something boundless and mysterious, secret unusual abilities and opportunities!

And on this need of people for self-knowledge and self-improvement, advertising campaigns of various businessmen are built, exploiting hope, presenting yoga, Chinese qigong gymnastics, Japanese meditation, self-hypnosis in combination with amazing tricks that lead the inquisitive, searching mind of a young man to a dead end.

For example, a «cool» businessman, the head of a large oil company in the country, spoke on television. He said that after a course of expanding abilities under the guidance of some psychologists, he walked without burns on burning coals and gained self-confidence, believed in himself, discovered a lot for himself.

And children in Bulgaria run on burning coals during the holidays! Children who do not know about any yoga or theories of meditation at all!

Just when walking on burning coals, like on a pile of broken glass, no one will ever get hurt, even if you dance on them, and if you step on a separate piece of glass or stand on a separate coal, you will get hurt.

Another advert was breathtaking!

A sharp knife was thrown at the board, and it entered the board, and bounced off the belly of the “yogi” lying on the floor!

And you will bounce. Without any preparation.

Because the stomach is a shock absorber.

It just didn’t cross your mind.

Because we are impressed.

And the chest opened simply: you need to know how to gently throw the knife.

To bitter regret, sometimes on TV children are shown reading with their eyes closed through a tightly stretched black bandage or mask.

In the next commercial, a schoolboy was shown, who, with a bandage over his eyes, allegedly determined the value of a banknote by smell, he was even proudly called the «golden nose of Russia.» His father was proud of him.

I was once invited to a demonstration of these extraordinary abilities.

Next to the children who were learning to «see without the help of the eyes,» their mothers and grandmothers were sitting, paying for this training.

“Why don’t you read through the bandage?” I asked mothers and grandmothers.

“Our brain computer is no longer so trained, we will need several months of training,” they repeated the phrase learned from the instructor, “let our children learn!”

“And if I teach you this in five minutes?”

— What?! How?! Is it really possible? We are happy!

I put a black patch over my eyes and asked to see if my eyes were visible through any small slits.

— Not visible, not visible! the women readily answered without even trying to check.

— No, you still check!

— Not visible, not visible! they repeated, not trying to check.

— Then give me a magazine or a newspaper!

When I began to read the newspaper through a black thick bandage over my eyes, everyone enthusiastically got up from their seats and surrounded me: “How do you do it? Teach!”

“Please,” I said, “who wants to try?”

A young energetic woman sat on a chair, and everyone else excitedly crowded around.

I pulled the black bandage tight over her eyes and asked the others to check to see if her eyes could be seen through the slits.

Again, no one began to check, everyone readily said: “Nothing is visible, of course!”

“Now,” I said to the woman with the bandage over her eyes, “please lower your gaze down, look for a crack – the place between the bandage and the nose, look!” Turning your head, look through this lower slit of the bandage for a bright field of vision, did you find it?

“I found it,” the woman replied.

— And now read! — And I moved the newspaper to read, and she began to read.

And then … she jumped up, tore off the bandage from her face and shouted at me:

— What are you showing us here, children don’t peep like that, and you will ruin their brain computer for them, go away!

And everyone started yelling at me that I would ruin their children’s brain computer.

And I left. The children are very sorry. And parents too.

Pull a black bandage or mask over your eyes, find the gap below between the bandage, cheek and nose, which is not visible from the outside due to the structure of the cheek, and read calmly. I am sure you will be the soul of the company in any home.

Another thing is the actual abilities and capabilities of a person.

They are real values, although they look much more prosaic.

But man is attracted by the unknown. Once he knows the secret, the secret is no longer attractive. Because the eternal demand is true: «Bread and circuses!».

It’s expensive sometimes!

And what price can we pay for, for example, that with the help of some method of working on ourselves, we would begin to think better, better understand ourselves and people? If you became more balanced, learned to maintain clarity of mind in critical situations, would you gain endurance and less dependence on imposed impressions?

Real yoga or other methods that really work, like the modern KEY, are something more prosaic, different than we usually expect, and therefore, before you start mastering them, you need to be aware of your expectations, so as not to be upset later, you need to be aware of your hopes, We need to separate the myths from the truth. One should not tempt oneself with possible miracles, there are no miracles in the world. And the sages say that the truth is simple!

But in order to come to this truth, sometimes you have to go through a circle of hopes and trials in order to “sober up”, gain wisdom.

It is possible to shorten this circle, but this is what is called enlightenment for the searching mind in the language of the East. It is also samathi, nirvana, satori, etc.

That is the innermost state of harmony of soul and body, which yogis and all other representatives of various methods and systems of spiritual and physical perfection so strive to achieve.

Is there such a special “final” state of the development of consciousness that reveals all the truths, after which everything is already clear and all the secrets of the Universe are revealed? What does a person experience in this state? What properties does it acquire?

It, this special state, turns out to be always with us, and not somewhere far away, outside. We experience it imperceptibly every time the brain switches from one mode of activity to another. For example, it occurs between sleep and wakefulness. It is like the neutral position in a car gearbox. By learning to manage this state, you can regulate yourself.

That’s all!

The world-famous yogi Vivekananda, who had both Western and Eastern education, said that not those yogis who, in search of enlightenment, sit and meditate somewhere far away in caves and on mountaintops. You have to be a yogi in life, he said. If there is even one hungry dog ​​in India, then his whole yoga is to feed him!

I experienced this special state and understood: in the modern language in the global culture, this eastern nirvana is called a state of mental relaxation. In the language of Russian concepts, I define it as a state of inner freedom. Just like the mysterious oriental word «meditation», translated in meaning into the language of Russian concepts, there is «infinity», again freedom.

This state of inner freedom (not a state with “free” thoughts, but a state free from randomness of thoughts) every person experiences many times every day, regardless of age and occupation, because this is a natural state of nature. You can easily remember the passive form of this state when it is not involved: a feeling of emptiness in the head, when you are as if here, and as if you are not there, when you are as if present, absent, and you are perfectly aware of everything, but at the same time you don’t want to what to react to.

It arises, for example, as a transitional moment from “concrete” thoughts to thoughts about “eternal” at the moment of prayer, harmonizing mental and physiological processes in accordance with the content of prayer. And Buddhists, for example, in some scientific works generally call it «work with emptiness.»

Why «empty»? What then is its value?

Because in this «emptiness», in this «silence» the most valuable thing is accomplished in a person — an act of intensive self-improvement.

On the encephalogram, for example, with this, so to speak, emptiness in the brain, intense electrical activity is recorded.

Why is this “emptiness” necessary for self-improvement?

This is a condition in which the brain is free from a forced continuous response to external and internal signals, while a person is psychologically free from a sense of fuss.

And therefore — it is «contact with eternity.»

What is the difference between an «enlightened» person who has experienced nirvana and an ordinary person?

Have you experienced this state in the form of mental relaxation, for example, when you relaxed in the bath, or while running as a feeling of relief (opening a “second wind”), or when you listened to music, or when, tired, sat just like that, thoughtlessly looking to an invisible point, thereby restoring their strength.

And a trained person knows how to get this state at the right moment for himself and consciously use it depending on his goals. Therefore, by owning this neutral state, which provides the freedom to “switch”, he can recover faster, run better, become a composer, writer, and God knows who else.

It turns out that if in this state you tell yourself, for example, that you will only draw masterpieces or stop smoking, then you will believe yourself, because in this state there is no fuss, everything superficial leaves, in this state of inner silence and agreement with oneself there are no barriers between you and the goal.

The KEY method is a short way to achieve this state with ample opportunities for its practical use.

What did I understand after discovering this state in myself, what secrets did I reveal, what special properties did I acquire?

I somehow calmed down in my depths. This is a special comfort. This is a special feeling that arises when you suddenly find answers to deep questions that have tormented you for a long time. It turns out that this is the state that I was always looking for, expecting something new, special, unusual in this state, it turns out that it was always with me.

This is what has changed for me. In the past, I was always like a “missile fired”, troubled by the dreams of owning this special fortune and what lies behind it. I dreamed of the incredible potentialities of man. He was tormented by questions about what he would be like, a man of the future, what new hitherto unseen qualities and fundamentally new abilities he would possess. And then, at the very moment when this state was discovered in me, it was simultaneously revealed to me that the person of the future will be the same as we are. And that I have nothing to worry about, that I personally will never see this man of the future. And that he, the man of the future, will differ from us in that he will be able to manage his condition better.

I somehow calmed down at once, as if I had mastered this future. There was a feeling that I now live here, in the present, but at the same time — in the future.

This, for example, is similar to how consciousness changes when you have your first child or grandchild. Now the connection of times has been established, the picture of the world has been completed, and you seem to live forever now, regardless of your departure. You find balance because you have fulfilled your evolutionary destiny.

Maybe someone else receives answers to other deep questions that torment him through this special state and thereby acquires his integrity.

Now I understand that I have described a typical picture of the so-called insight, insight, in other words, automatic psychoanalysis, which arose due to this state in the presence of my deepest exciting question and removed the question by harmonizing mental and physiological processes.

But you, if you want to speed up the receipt of answers to even current specific questions that concern you, think about it against the background of KEY techniques that harmonize your inner state.

This activates the work of the subconscious. And the answers will come, but maybe a little later, when you are already busy with your own affairs and do not hold them back with your expectation.

All answers are in you! You yourself are a miracle!

Well, here are the «miracles»! We waited!

You are welcome!

But then I will reveal the secret, for example, of my personal creative «miracle» — and it turns out that everything is simple again!

That’s the point! This is what you need to learn in order to “normally” understand things without thinking up unnecessary entities. It’s called common sense.

Five years ago I started painting, as they say, from scratch, without any school, teacher (and still don’t know how to mix paints correctly).

I didn’t go to exhibitions so as not to pick up stamps, I did everything “out of myself”.

And he has already made more than 400 pastel and oil paintings and a number of computer graphics paintings, which were exhibited at four solo exhibitions, published in magazines.

And painting is not “primitive”, not “naive”, as they say, when the talent to write is “opened” among those who write without school (there are their own characteristic elements), and I already have, according to experts, my own face in painting. For example, you can say about someone that he writes like Chagall, you can “find Aivazovsky” in someone’s work, but I don’t imitate anyone, I write the way I write. They say that there are no stamps in my works, and what is important, as experts say, there is a development dynamics — for five years I haven’t loaded with my stamps.

How did it happen? Just! I took a brush and started painting. You try — and you will succeed! Take and draw!

It just never occurred to me before that I was an artist! I was formed under the influence of «triples» in drawing at school. Because at school we were given watercolors in our hands and offered to draw a hammer or a lemon. But I didn’t succeed, my intense character, as I now understood, is not for watercolor, which requires great accuracy: I diluted water in the wrong place or planted a stain — and already dirt. That’s why I thought I couldn’t draw.

Maybe watercolor suits you, but if not, give it up for now, then it will turn out, and now try oil, gouache, tempera, charcoal, pencil. Try not to draw a lemon, but what you want, which is easier and better for you.

This is the KEY Principle: if you want to do something, immediately take on the main thing, do not get stuck in the details, because you cannot see the forest for the trees, do what is more pleasant and easier for you, use the principle of selection by enumeration.

And what happens is attractive, addictive. And start drawing more and more!

My secret is simple: I write a lot, I work every day.

You need work, nothing works without work.

But I work with pleasure, with the feeling that everything will work out!

Therefore, I like it, it has become my rest and useful work at the same time.

Because it works.

We are intimidated by the words: «torments of creativity», «granite of science».

We were told at school: “It doesn’t work, try and it will work!”

But I didn’t succeed, and I couldn’t understand why, but a complex of self-doubt, a complex that I’m not an artist, formed. Here Volodya from the next desk is an artist, but I am not.

And so he lived until his age.

I also have a second secret! Not only the KEY principle, but also the KEY method.

In the first days, when I started painting, I did short warm-ups at a time convenient for myself, relieved the feeling of tightness, and against the background of the special ideo-reflex techniques of the KEY, trying to get a feeling of flight, I dreamed: I would only make masterpieces!

And now, until you make a “zest” in the picture, you get up and work at night!

It turns out (here is another revealed secret of psychophysiology), the higher the bar of the goal, the easier it is to reveal the natural abilities and reserve capabilities of the body.

Because small tasks don’t need a lot of energy.

Both in life and in creativity: you will raise the bar of the goal, tell yourself that you will only make masterpieces, and against the background of this attitude, you will solve the problem of an average level without problems.

Just don’t try to imitate anyone.

And then we are used to studying under the motto: “Do as I do! And if it doesn’t work: “Repeat until you succeed!”

Quickly, in a short time, you will discover the artist, writer, composer in yourself, if you do your job the way you do it! How you like it and how easy it is for you!

Not the way someone does it!

Because then the task is doubly complicated: you need to do the job, and do it, as someone else does.

And in order to do like someone else, you need a completely different time and a completely different school.

INFORMATION PAUSE

The KEY is available to everyone.

Because if one trick doesn’t work, you just pick another.

Because you know the Criterion of Individual Compliance.

And as soon as an action is found that matches the current state, unloading begins!

… The Great Way is not difficult — so the ancient sages said. Look, they said, how easily clouds float, how easily trees bend under the wind. The Great Way is easy…

The husband of my daughter Sheila Andrei did not read the books of the ancient sages then. He is an engineer, draws, writes music. He wrote: “If you want to make a decision, do two things: look at how the clouds are floating, and think about what people think about it … But if you have watched how the clouds are floating,” he added, “then you can not think about the second worry…»
