What opportunities can a person have. to make people think about their possibilities! Strange human abilities

I love the term "limitless possibilities" so much. You just think about it. Opportunities WITHOUT Boundaries. I think for many the topic will be relevant. After all, we are so used to thinking that we ourselves cannot advance, that we are unworthy of something better, and so on. etc.

How often this negativity is instilled in us from childhood. The remarks of adults thrown in passing, who are simply tired of the working day, lay whole complexes in us. After all, it is known that by the age of 5 we form our ideas about life.

Then something is added, of course, but not much. True, it is interesting that we live in the mind and boundaries of the mind of a five-year-old child? And it was formed with us and was determined by what we received from our parents. But even the best parents cannot know everything and live within the limitations of their own consciousness.

How often we were told: "You can't do it", "You can't do it". And we squeeze ourselves into rigid limits when we say: “I can’t”, “I don’t have money for this!”, “What will they think about this?” ... And then you can list who, what might think about it.

All these limitations often prevent us from expressing ourselves using our limitless possibilities. If we understand that all limitations nest only in our heads and have nothing to do with reality, I think life will be much more interesting, happier and it will only bring us health.

I once read about putting things in order in our thoughts. And there was an example about a wardrobe. Imagine that you opened it, found a bunch of unnecessary things there. It's out of fashion, it doesn't suit you, it's the wrong size, you don't like it, etc. What can be done in this case? Of course, to take everything apart, just give something to someone, take it to the church, etc. Now we are starting to lay out all the remaining things in a new way. The closet becomes more spacious. And if you get a new thing, there is a place for it.

We need to do the same with our thoughts. Get rid of the old, make room for the new. How far we can go in this is entirely up to us.

Every time you hear about an incurable disease, know that it is not true. There is a power that can heal everything. You just need to dive into yourself and discover the medicine in yourself. There are many examples of such healing. I would like to briefly mention one of them.

I already wrote to you that my acquaintance with psychology began through the books of Louise Hay. Her story cannot leave anyone indifferent. At the age of five, her stepfather raped her, then fate threw her terrible trials one after another. Including the diagnosis of cancer. She gave up medicine and began a new lifestyle of forgiveness, healing, proper nutrition, relaxation and cleansing. So she cured herself of cancer.

As Dr. Pachuta of the National AIDS Association said, "There has never been an epidemic in the world with 100% mortality - never!" Any disease on earth that affected many people could not cope with someone.

Immersed in gloomy thoughts, we are doomed. In order to find a way out of the situation, you need to apply a positive approach. We need to learn how to use the Power within us to heal.

Here are some examples of such unlimited human capabilities:

• Peter Terren can handle frenzied tension. In the pose of a thinker, wrapped in foil, he remains alive and well after a 500 kilovolt electric shock.
• Biologist Kevin Richardson can spend the night in a lion cage. For unknown reasons, the lions accept him as their own.
• Vietnamese Thai Ngoc has not slept at all since 1973, from the very moment he had a fever.
• Autistic from the UK Daniel Tammet speaks with difficulty, does not distinguish between left and right, does not know how to insert a plug into a socket, but at the same time easily performs the most complex mathematical calculations in his mind. Daniel knows by heart 22514 digits after the decimal point in pi and understands eleven languages, including Welsh, Esperanto and Icelandic, which he learned in 7 days.
• Jody Ostroit is able to notice details that are impossible to see with the naked eye. For example, the internal structure of a plant leaf, which can only be seen with an electron microscope.
• The imaginary death was demonstrated in 1950 by yogi Babashri Ramdazhi Jirnari. He climbed into a chamber studded with nails, after which the chamber was filled with cement and filled with water. A day later, they took Babashri Yogi out of it, rubbed it and he came to life.

Recently I saw a video of amazing beauty on the Internet. Dance Men and women, but they are not just dancers, but people with disabilities. However, this did not prevent them from performing this sensual and beautiful dance.

By believing that anything is possible, we can open our minds to solutions to the problems we encounter in life.

We live and always have the right to choose: either we surround ourselves with walls of restrictions, or we break them, while feeling safe, allowing good and good to enter our lives.

The call of ancient philosophers to know oneself is no less relevant today than in ancient times. A person needs to know the capabilities of his body in order to resist diseases and make life the most active, full.

An essential feature of a person's physical capabilities is the presence of huge reserves that can be developed and used if necessary. Even in animals that are closest in their biological nature to humans (for example, in mammals.), The body's reserves are much smaller. The machine, like any mechanical device, is completely devoid of such. Depending on the mode of operation, it can be "used" to a greater or lesser part of its capabilities, however, their value remains unchanged and is only wasted in the process of wear of parts.

Man, on the contrary, develops in the process of activity. The ability to improve and develop, to which we are so accustomed that we usually do not notice it, is an amazing property of a person. This allows us, at our own will, as if by the power of magic, to transform our body, increasing its physical capabilities many times over.

That is why it is so necessary to study the reserve capabilities of the body - after all, they are, in essence, the most valuable thing that determines the level of our health, ability to work and, ultimately, the usefulness of human life.

The first part of the paper presents the theoretical aspects of the problem. The limits of the capabilities of the human body are revealed with the help of actual historical examples, unique cases recorded in various sources.

In the second part of the work, the author conducts a study of the physical capabilities of his own body. In addition, the author has done work to improve these capabilities, various methods have been carried out: a set of exercises for flexibility, a relaxing technique.

Part I. The limits of the human organism.

1. Temperature limits of human life.

Since our life is provided by strictly regulated temperature conditions for biochemical reactions, it is clear that a deviation in any direction from the comfort temperature should have an equally adverse effect on the body. Human temperature - 36.6 ° C (or, more precisely, for the depth of the so-called core - 37 ° C) is much closer to the freezing point than to the boiling point of water. It would seem that for our body, which consists of 70% of water, cooling the body is much more dangerous than overheating it. However, this is not so, and the cooling of the body - of course, within certain limits - is much easier to tolerate than heating.

Healthy people can withstand an increase in body temperature up to 42°C. Increasing it to 43 ° C, according to doctors, based on hundreds of thousands of observations, is already incompatible with life. However, there were exceptions: cases of recovery of people whose body temperature rose to 43.9 ° C and even higher are described. So on July 10, 1980, the Grady Memorial clinic in Atlanta (USA) received a 52-year-old black Willie Jones, who suffered from heat stroke, that day the air warmed up to 32.2 ° C, and the humidity reached 44%.

Jones' skin temperature reached 46.5°C. He was discharged 24 days later in a satisfactory condition.

Foreign scientists conducted special experiments to determine the highest temperature that the human body can withstand in dry air. An ordinary person can withstand a temperature of 71 ° C for 1 hour. 82°C - 49 min. , 93°С - 33 min, 104°С - only 26 min.

The super marathon, which took place in Death Valley, the Californian desert, is also striking, considered the driest and hottest (50 ° C in the shade and about 100 ° C in the sun) desert in the world. 28-year-old French runner Eric Lauro, who has long dreamed of such a test, started 250 km west of Las Vegas and ran 225 km in Death Valley in five days. For 7-8 hours, he overcame about 50 km daily. For five days of running through the hot desert of Loiro, weighing 65 kg with a height of 1 m 76 cm, lost 6 kg. By the end of the run, his pulse increased so much that it was difficult to count it, and his body temperature reached 39.5 ° C.

As for low temperatures, many records have also been set here.

In 1987, the media reported an incredible case of the resuscitation of a man who had been frozen for many hours. Returning home in the evening, 23-year-old resident of the West German town of Radstadt Helmut Reikert got lost, a snowdrift fell and froze. Only 19 hours later he was found by his brothers who were looking for him. As the doctors suggested, having fallen into the snow, the victim became cold so quickly that, despite the acute lack of oxygen, the brain did not receive irreversible damage. Helmut was taken to the intensive cardiac surgery clinic. Where for several hours the blood of the victim was heated with a special device. A blood thinner was also used. And only when the body temperature rose to 27 ° C, the doctor, using electric shock, "launched" the victim's heart. A few days later, he was disconnected from the heart-lung machine, and then discharged from the hospital.

And here is another striking case registered in our country. On a frosty March morning in 1960, a frozen man was delivered to one of the hospitals in the Aktobe region, found by chance by workers at a construction site on the outskirts of the village. Here are the lines from the protocol: “A numb body in icy clothes, without a headdress and shoes. The limbs are bent at the joints and it is not possible to straighten them. When tapping on the body, there is a dull sound, as from blows to a tree. The temperature of the body surface is below 0 ° C. The eyes are wide open, the eyelids are covered with an icy edge, the pupils are dilated, cloudy, there is an ice crust on the sclera and iris. Signs of life - heartbeat and respiration - do not determine. Diagnosis: general freezing, clinical death. "

Naturally, on the basis of a thorough medical examination, the doctor P.S. Abrahamyan, who examined the deceased, had to send the corpse to the morgue. However, contrary to the obvious facts, he, not wanting to accept death, placed him in a hot bath. When the body was freed from the ice cover, the victim was brought back to life with the help of a complex of resuscitation measures. An hour and a half later, along with weak breathing, a barely perceptible pulse appeared. By the evening of the same day, the man regained consciousness. After questioning him, we managed to find out that he lay in the snow for 3-4 hours. He not only remained alive, but also retained his ability to work.

Striking are the cases of people spending many hours in icy water. So, during the Great Patriotic War, Soviet sergeant Pyotr Golubev swam 20 km in icy water in 9 hours and successfully completed a combat mission.

In 1985, an English fisherman demonstrated an amazing ability to survive in icy water. All his comrades died of hypothermia after 10 minutes. after the shipwreck. He swam in the icy water for more than 5 hours, and, having reached the ground, he walked barefoot along the frozen lifeless shore for about 3 hours.

In order to increase the body's resistance to adverse environmental conditions, hardening is used.

During hardening, the temperature difference between the environment and the core of the body brings down a powerful stream of exciting influences on the sensitive apparatuses of the skin, which, like in a thermocouple, energize the body, stimulating its vital activity.

Today it is already known for sure that hardening is a necessary component of a healthy lifestyle, an important component of high performance and active longevity.

Particularly interesting in terms of health is the hardening system developed by P.K. Ivanov, which Porfiry Korneev experienced for decades. All year round, in any weather, he walked in the same shorts, barefoot, swam in the hole, for a long time he could be without food and water, while maintaining cheerfulness, optimism and efficiency. He has thousands of followers who have learned not to feel the cold even in the most severe frost.

2. Life without breath, food and water.

You can go for a long time - weeks and months - without food, you can not drink water, but life without breathing stops in a matter of seconds. And the whole life of each of us is measured by the period between the first and last breath.

It turns out that under the influence of systematic physical training, a person acquires the ability to withstand a lack of oxygen - hypoxia. Resistance to it is becoming an important component of a record achievement in modern sports. When performing extreme physical stresses, the possibilities of the respiratory and circulatory organs do not suffice in order to provide the working muscles with a sufficient amount of oxygen. Under these conditions, the winner is the athlete who can, due to strong-willed efforts, continue intense muscular work, doing the seemingly impossible. That is why highly trained athletes develop the ability to hold their breath much more than untrained people. The duration of such breath holdings in athletes reaches 4-5 minutes.

If, however, special effects are used that increase the "reserve" of oxygen in the body or reduce its consumption during the subsequent breath holding, then the time during which it is possible to do without lung ventilation increases to 12-15 minutes. In order to stock up on oxygen for the future, athletes breathe an oxygen-enriched gas mixture (or pure O2), and a decrease in oxygen consumption is achieved through psychological adjustment: self-hypnosis, which contribute to a decrease in the level of vital activity of the body. The results achieved seem incredible, the world record for the duration of diving was set in 1960. in California by Robert Forster, who was under water for 13 minutes. 42.5 s. Before diving, he spent 30 minutes. breathed oxygen, trying to absorb it in reserve as much as possible.

Curious are the observations of the American physiologist E. Schneider, who in 1930 registered even longer breath holdings in two pilots - 14 minutes. 2s. and 15 min. 13 p.

And here is another event that took place in 1987. Two small children survived after spending 15 minutes. in a car that ended up at the bottom of a Norwegian fjord. The misfortune happened when the car driven by the mother slid down an icy road and rolled down into Tandsfjord, located on the west coast of Norway. The woman managed to jump out of the car, a four-month-old girl and a two-month-old boy were inside the car at a depth of 10 meters. The first car that was stopped by the mother belonged to one of the employees of the local commune, with the help of a radiotelephone, they immediately managed to get the fire brigade to their feet. And then the circumstances developed in an incredibly happy way. The duty officer who received the alarm knew that the diving club had its base just near the site of the tragedy. The kids were lucky, because at that time there were three divers in the club, fully equipped for rescue work. They immediately got involved in saving the children. After a fifteen-minute stay under water, the children went into cardiac arrest. However, they were saved.

How long can a person live without food? We are familiar with the pangs of hunger, if not from personal experience, then from stories about polar explorers, about lost geologists, about shipwrecked sailors.

During the Great Patriotic War, in July 1942, four Soviet sailors found themselves in a boat far from the coast in the Black Sea without water and food supplies. On the third day of their voyage, they began to taste the sea water. In the Black Sea, the water is 2 times less salty than in the World Ocean. However, the sailors were able to get used to its use only on the fifth day. Everyone now drank up to two flasks of it a day. So they, it would seem, got out of the situation with water. But the problem of food supply could not be solved. One of them died of starvation on the 19th day, the second - on the 24th, the third - on the 30th day. The last of these four - the captain of the medical service P. I. Yeresko - on the 36th day of fasting in a state of obscured consciousness was picked up by a Soviet military vessel. For 36 days of sea wandering without eating, he lost 22 kg in weight, which was 32% of his original weight.

In 1986, the Japanese Y. Suzuki climbed Mount Fuji (3776 m). At an altitude of 1900 m, the 49-year-old climber got into a strong snow storm, but managed to hide in some kind of hut. There he had to spend 38 days, Suzuki fed mainly on snow. The rescue workers who discovered him found Suzuki in a satisfactory physical condition.

When fasting, water intake is of great importance. Water allows the body to better conserve its reserves.

An unusual case of voluntary fasting was registered in Odessa. An extremely emaciated woman was taken to a specialized department of one of the hospitals. It turned out that she had been starving for three months with the intent of suicide, having lost 60% of her weight during this time. The woman survived.

In 1973, seemingly fantastic periods of fasting for two women were described, registered in one of the medical institutions in the city of Glasgow. Both of them weighed more than 100 kg, and to normalize one had to fast for 236 days, and the other for 249 days.

How long can a person go without drinking? Studies conducted by the American physiologist E.F. Adolf showed that the maximum duration of a person’s stay without water largely depends on the ambient temperature and the mode of physical activity. So, for example, being at rest in the shade, at a temperature of 16-23 ° C, a person may not drink for 10 days. At an air temperature of 26°C, this period is reduced to 9 days, at 29°C - up to 7, at 33°C - up to 5, at 36°C - days. Finally, at an air temperature of 39 ° C at rest, a person can not drink for no more than 2 days.

Of course, with physical work, all these terms are reduced.

After the earthquake in Mexico City in 1985, a 9-year-old boy was found under the rubble of a building, who had not eaten or drunk anything for 13 days and, nevertheless, remained alive.

In February 1947, a 53-year-old man was found in Frunze. Having received a head injury, he was without food or water for 20 days in an abandoned unheated room. At the moment of discovery, he did not show breathing and did not feel a pulse. The only clear sign indicating the preservation of the life of the victim. There was a discoloration of the nail bed when pressed. And the next day he could talk.

3. Reserves of a person's physical capabilities.

Physical exercises and sports are the most powerful stimulants that ensure the development of the capabilities of the human body. They also make it possible to objectively study the most important side of the functional characteristics of our body - its motor resources.

According to Academician N. M. Amosov, the margin of safety of the "construction" of a person has a coefficient of about 10, i.e., human organs and systems can withstand stress and perform loads that are about 10 times greater than in ordinary life. Regular exercise allows you to turn on dormant reserves.

The main reserve capabilities of the human body are shown in Table 3.

When the famous bacteriologist Louis Pasteur suffered a cerebral hemorrhage as a result of long-term intense mental work, he did not stop his active scientific activity, he began to combine it with a strict regimen of regular physical exercises, which he had not previously engaged in. After a stroke, he lived for another 30 years and it was during these years that he made his most significant discoveries. At the autopsy, it turned out that after the hemorrhage and until his death, Louis Pasteur had a normally functioning cortex of only one hemisphere of the brain. Physical exercises helped the scientist to use the reserves of the preserved brain tissue with maximum efficiency.

Let us remember N. A. Morozov, a member of the People’s Will, who for 25 years, being a prisoner of the Shlisselburg fortress, suffered tuberculosis, scurvy, rheumatism in it and, nevertheless, lived for 93 years. He was treated without drugs, without vitamins - with a strong-willed attitude, fast long walking around the cell and dancing.

Very serious physical abilities are developed by special yoga exercises. So, for example, in the 60s. of the last century in Bombay, yogi Jad demonstrated to the Bulgarian scientist Professor Georgy Lozadov his ability to raise the body to a height by mental effort. In fact, there was nothing supernatural here and not, moreover, there was a mental effort. Judd simply learned to perform the unusually difficult exercise of making a kind of jump into the air by instantly contracting the spinal muscles with an almost simultaneous straightening of the body.

Many more examples could be cited demonstrating the extraordinary perfection that a person is able to achieve in controlling his body.

In the last century, Harry Houdini won wide fame. He developed exceptional flexibility, thanks to which he publicly demonstrated the release of handcuffs put on him in a few seconds. Moreover, he did this even when he was buried in handcuffs in the ground or drowned in an ice hole, even 3 minutes did not pass. how Houdini, buried alive or drowned, crawled out of the ground like a mole, or, like a seal, appeared from the icy water and bowed to the admiring public, waving the handcuffs he had taken from his wrists. This man, due to the exceptional mobility of his joints, could not be tied at all with any ropes and chains.

The American circus performer Willard demonstrated to the public an even more amazing phenomenon: in a few minutes he increased his height by about 20 cm. curves of the spine and it was due to this that he became for some time higher by a whole head.

Marathon runners show special endurance. Moreover, people of different ages are engaged in marathon running.

In literature, Philippides, the best runner of the ancient Greek army, is often remembered, who ran in 490 BC. e. the distance from Marathon to Athens (42 km 195 m), to report the victory of the Persians over the Greeks, and immediately died. According to other sources, before the battle, Philippides "ran" through a mountain pass to Sparta in order to enlist the help of the allies, and at the same time ran over 200 km in two days. Considering that after such a "jog" the messenger took part in the famous battle on the Marathon Plain, one can only be surprised at the endurance of this person. Indians - representatives of the Tarahumara tribe ("fast foot") are distinguished by special endurance. The literature describes a case when a nineteen-year-old Tarahumara carried a forty-five-kilogram parcel over a distance of 120 km in 70 hours. His tribesman, carrying an important letter, covered a distance of 600 km in five days.

But not only the Indians demonstrate a seemingly supernatural physical performance. In the 70s of the 19th century. Swiss doctor Felix-Schenk set up such an experiment on himself. He didn't sleep for three days in a row. In the daytime, he continuously walked and did gymnastics. For two nights he made 30-kilometer crossings on foot at an average speed of 4 km / h, and one night he lifted a stone weighing 46 kg over his head 200 times. As a result, despite normal nutrition, he lost 2 kg in weight.

And what reserves does the physical strength of the human body have? Multiple world wrestling champion Ivan Poddubny is an outstanding strongman. But, according to his own statement, his father, Maxim Poddubny, possessed even greater strength: he easily took two five-pound bags on his shoulders, lifted a whole haystack with pitchforks, indulging in, stopped any cart, grabbing it by the wheel, knocked it down by the horns of hefty bulls.

Poddubny's younger brother Mitrofan was also strong, who somehow pulled an ox weighing 18 pounds from a pit, and once in Tula amused the audience by holding a platform with an orchestra on his shoulders that played "Many Years."

Another Russian hero - the athlete Yakub Chekhovskaya in 1913 in Petrograd carried 6 soldiers in a circle on one arm. A platform was installed on his chest, along which three trucks with the public drove.

Our contemporary power juggler Valentin Dikul freely juggles 80-kilogram kettlebells and holds the Volga on his shoulders (the dynamometer shows a load of 1570 kg on the athlete's shoulders). The most amazing thing is that Dikul became a power juggler 7 years after a severe injury, which usually makes people disabled for life. In 1961, acting as an aerial acrobat, Dikul fell in a circus from a great height and received a compression fracture of the spine in the lumbar region. As a result, the lower body and legs were paralyzed. It took Dikul three and a half years of hard training on a special simulator, combined with self-massage, to take the first step on his previously paralyzed legs, and another year to fully restore movement.

4. Mental reserves of the human body.

Physiologists have established that a person can use only 70% of his muscular energy by willpower, and the remaining 30% is a reserve in case of emergency. Let's take an example.

Once a polar pilot, while fixing his skis on an airplane that had landed on an ice floe, felt a jolt in his shoulder. Thinking that his comrade was joking, the pilot waved it off: "Don't interfere with work." The push was repeated again, and then, turning around, the man was horrified: in front of him stood a huge polar bear. In an instant, the pilot found himself on the plane of the wing of his aircraft and began to call for help. The polar explorers who ran up killed the beast. "How did you get on the wing?" - asked the pilot. "Jumped," he replied. It was hard to believe. During the second jump, the pilot could not overcome even half of this distance. It turned out that in conditions of mortal danger, he took a height close to the world record.

An interesting example is described in X. Lindemann's book "Autogenous training": "During the repair of a heavy American limousine, a young man fell under it and was crushed to the ground. The victim's father, knowing how much the car weighs, ran after the jack. "A man's mother ran out of the house and lifted the body of a multi-ton car on one side with her hands so that her son could get out. Fear for her son opened the mother's access to an emergency reserve of strength."

Emotional arousal sharpens not only the physical, but also the spiritual and intellectual capabilities of a person.

There is a case with the French mathematician Evariste Galou. On the eve of his death, being seriously wounded in a duel, he made a brilliant mathematical discovery.

Positive emotions are a universal healer for many ailments.

The news spread around the world about the amazing self-healing of the famous American writer Norman Cavins from a severe handicap of collagenosis with ankylosing spondylitis (the process of destruction of the connective tissue of the spine). Doctors estimated his chance of a full recovery as 1:500. But Norman Cousins ​​managed to seize this insignificant chance. He preferred laughter therapy to all medicines and ordered the funniest comedies for himself. After each such session, the pain receded at least a little.

And here is another example. Pablo Casals, a 90-year-old musician from Puerto Rico, suffered from a severe form of rheumatoid arthritis, in which he could neither straighten up nor move without assistance. His only cure was to play the piano works of his favorite composers - Bach and Brahms, after which there was no trace of stiffness and immobility in the joints for several hours. Casals died in 1973 at the age of 96, giving concerts until his very last days.

Every person spends a third of his life in a dream. How long can a person stay completely awake?

The "record" of insomnia among men belongs to the Mexican Randy Gardner - 264 hours. And among women - a resident of the South American city of Ciudaddel Cabo: she did not sleep five minutes to 282 hours!

Well, what are the "records" of a person in the field of maximum duration of sound sleep?

For more than 20 years, IP Pavlov observed the patient - the Altai peasant Kachalkin, who all this time was in a state of constant numbness and immobility, but heard everything that was happening around him. An interesting way, with the help of which IP Pavlov woke up his patient. At 3 o'clock in the morning, when there was silence in the city, he quietly approached Kachalkin's bed and said in a whisper: "Get up!" And Kachalkin got up, thus having overslept from the time of the coronation of Nicholas II to the Russian throne until the civil war.

Nadezhda Artemievna Lebedin from the village of Mogilev, Dnepropetrovsk region, spent almost 20 years in a lethargic dream. She fell asleep in 1954 at the age of 33 during the illness of subcortical encephalitis. In 1974, Nadezhda's mother died. "Say goodbye to your mother," they told her. The sick woman, shaken by the news, screamed and woke up.

In addition to sleep and wakefulness, a person can still be in a kind of intermediate state, in this state the human body has amazing capabilities.

The well-known orientalist Yu. N. Roerich observed the so-called "running yogis" in Tibet. In a special state, they run along narrow mountain paths over 200 km in one night. Moreover, if such a "running yoga" is stopped, brought out of a kind of "trance", then he will no longer be able to complete his marathon run over difficult rough terrain.

The secret of immersion in this state is the ability to relax all the muscles of the body as much as possible, to control muscle tone. To form a dream-like state in oneself, yoga uses a "dead pose" or shavasana.

Many scientists note that managing one's state of mind is a matter that is quite accessible to anyone who seriously aspires to this person.

It is interesting to note that K. E. Tsiolkovsky in his brochure "Nirvana" also recommended, like yogis, to plunge into a state of ecstatic disconnection from the outside world in order to acquire peace of mind.

This issue was studied in more detail by the author of autogene training, the German scientist of the beginning of the last century, I. Schultz. He developed the highest degree of autogenic training - the treatment of nirvana, or nirvanotherapy. Exercises of this stage are carried out against the background of maximum self-immersion, or self-hypnosis, in which there is a sharp narrowing of consciousness and there is no reaction to external stimuli.

As a result of self-immersion, one can learn to see dreams of a given content.

The ability for vivid visualization, for example, is based on the phenomenal memory of a reporter from one of the Moscow newspapers, whom Professor A. R. Luria had the opportunity to observe for almost 30 years. He memorized a table of 50 digits in 2.5-3 minutes. and remembered for several months! It is interesting that the numbers reminded him of such images: "7m - a man with a mustache" 8m - a very plump woman, and "87 a plump woman with a man who twists his mustache.

Some people who call miracle counters also resort to similar techniques. In seconds, some of them are able to calculate and determine, for example, what day of the week will be October 13, 23 448 723, etc.

The counter Urania Diamondi believes that their color helps her to own numbers: 0 - white, 1 - black, 2 - yellow, 3 - scarlet, brown, 5 - blue, 6 - dark yellow, 7 - ultramarine, 8 - gray-blue , 9 - dark brown. The process of calculation was presented as endless symphonies of color.

These are just some of the possibilities of the human psyche. Many of them are trainable. There are special exercises for this.

Part II. Practical study of the reserves of the human body

1. Determination of the physical condition of a person.

Objective. Determine the basic physical characteristics of a person and compare them with optimal values, thereby identifying problems and weaknesses that need further improvement.

Method of performance: the subject performs several exercises that allow to identify his physical condition at the moment. The results are entered into a table and compared with the controls.

The test is carried out two to three hours after eating. To measure the results, a stopwatch or a watch with a second hand is used.

Exercise 1: Endurance.

For this exercise, the steps of the stairs are used. One is placed on a raised platform, legs alternate at a pace of four "steps" in ten seconds. Keeping this pace, the exercise is done for three minutes. After a thirty-second pause, the pulse is measured, the result is entered into the table.

Exercise 2: Mobility.

A mark is made on a wall or other vertical surface at shoulder level. You need to stand with your back to her at a distance that allows you to tilt forward without interference. The legs are placed shoulder-width apart. From this position, you need to tilt and quickly straighten up, turning to the right and touching the mark simultaneously with both hands. Lean forward again and repeat to the left. Count how many times you can touch the mark on the wall in this way within 20 seconds.

Exercise 3: Flexibility.

This test requires a partner. You need to stand on a chair, put your feet together and, without bending your knees, lean forward as low as possible, stretching your arms. The partner must measure the distance from the fingertips to the edge of the chair (above or below its level). In this case, it is necessary to stay in the extreme position for a few seconds.

Exercise 4: Press.

Lie on your back and grab your hands on a fixed support (lower edge of the cabinet, central heating battery, etc.). Close your legs and, without bending your knees, raise them to a vertical position, then lower them to the floor. Record how many times within 20 seconds you can raise and lower your legs.

Exercise 5: Jumping.

Stand sideways to the wall, stretch your arm up and mark this point on the wall. Put your feet together, take the chalk in your hand and jump as high as possible. Make a second mark. Measure the distance between the marks and record the result.

See the test results in the evaluation table (Table 4) in the appendix.

Conclusions: the results of the experiment show that the level of development of physical qualities is mainly at the average level (closer to the lower limit). All of the above qualities need training. Particularly low indicators were recorded for flexibility, the result for this quality was not included even in the average indicators.

2. Development of flexibility.

The purpose of the work: through the use of a special set of exercises to develop the necessary quality.

Method of implementation: after a month of practicing a special set of exercises that develop flexibility, a control test is carried out (see experiment 1). As a result of comparing old and new indicators, a conclusion is made.

Flexibility training occurs using the following complex:

1. Standing, legs apart, arms down. 1-2 circular movements back with the right shoulder, 3 - 4 - the same with the left, 5 - raise the shoulders, pull the head in, 6 - lower the shoulders, 7 - raise again. All exercises are repeated 6-10 times.

2. Standing, hands in the castle in front of the chest. Circular movements with closed brushes to the left and right. 10 circles in each direction

3. Standing, in the left hand a small object (for example, a ball). Raise your left hand up, bending, lower it behind your head, bend your right hand behind your back from below. Transfer an item from the left hand to the right

4. Standing, legs apart, hands on the belt. 1-3 - alternate springy torso torso to the right leg, to the left, forward. When tilting, try to reach the floor with brushes. Don't bend your knees.

5. Standing, legs apart, arms lowered, 1-4 - leaning forward, circular movements of the body to the left, 5-6 to the right.

6. Standing facing the support, left leg on the support, hands on the belt. 1-3 - springy slopes to the left leg. Change leg. 4-5 - tilts to the right leg.

7. Standing sideways to the support, left leg on the support, hands on the belt. 1-3 - springy slopes to the left leg, 4-5 - downward slopes to reach the floor with brushes). Change leg. 6-8 - tilts to the right leg, 9-10 - tilts down.

Conclusions: After a month of daily exercises, a flexibility test was conducted. (see exercise 3, experiment 1).

Without training, this exercise was performed only 7 times, after a month of training, it was possible to complete it 12 times, i.e. show an average result.

Thus, through physical exercises, it was possible to expand the capabilities of the body, flexibility increased significantly.

3. Mastering the relaxation technique.

The purpose of the work: to learn how to relax the body, using a similar state, which is achieved through the development of yoga techniques ("dead posture", or shavasana) (Fig. 1).

Execution method: starting position: lie down on the mat, heels and toes together, hands pressed to the body.

1st stage. Close your eyes and relax the whole body while the head will bow to the left or right, the arms will freely lean back with palms up, the socks and heels of the legs will disperse. Complete relaxation should be mentally controlled, starting from the toes and down to the smallest muscles on the face. 2nd stage. Against the background of complete relaxation, without opening h, try to imagine a clear, blue, cloudless sky.

3rd stage. Imagine yourself as a bird soaring in this clear blue, cloudless sky.

Conclusions: I managed to master the relaxation technique according to the yoga system. The use of this technique makes it easy to restore strength, make up for the lack of physical and mental energy, feel rested, full of energy, more relaxed and mentally balanced. After completing this exercise, you cope with the educational material, memory improves, attention concentration improves.

Conclusion.

Studying the capabilities of the human body, one comes to the conclusion about its amazing strength, the perfection of adaptive mechanisms. It seems incredible that the extremely complex, consisting of hundreds of billions of specialized cells that every second need "material supply" with oxygen and nutrients, sensitively reacting to insignificant fluctuations in the chemistry of the environment, the human body exhibits such unique vitality.

Nowadays, more than ever, a person needs strength and perseverance in an effort to overcome the most insidious of all the dangers that threaten health and its very existence - the danger of a passive lifestyle, in which instead of natural stimulants - exercises and hardening means, various surrogates are used - direct destroyers of the body with inevitability leading man to degradation. It is no coincidence that in economically developed countries the main cause of death at present has become diseases associated with incorrect behavior leading to health problems.

Human capabilities are very wide and, most importantly, v can be expanded through appropriate training (hardening system, physical exercises, mastering breathing exercises, relaxation systems, etc.).

And even if the first steps on this path turn out to be difficult, 1 it is worth remembering the advice of Marcus Aurelius: "If something is difficult for you, then do not think that it is generally impossible for a person; but consider what is possible and characteristic of a person, consider it accessible to myself".

Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to their development and assessment of their own abilities. Centuries ago, there was an opinion according to which a person chose the wrong vector of development. In what sense? Instead of making efforts and engaging in self-development, people do not stop working on what surrounds them. Almost or completely without taking care of himself, a person tries to make the conditions around him as comfortable as possible. On the other hand, not all people have a materialistic mindset. Many people value things that money cannot buy. It is important to realize that the best "investment" is the effort made to improve the spiritual, social and physical capabilities of a person.

Do you have potential?

One well-known philosopher and psychologist, William James, who lived in the 20th century, came to the conclusion that most people do not realize the potential that was originally laid in them. According to him, every baby has such prospects that his parents do not even think about. That is why most people remain at a low level of development of their talents - they do not realize how wide the horizon of their abilities is.

Consider examples of how the development of human capabilities occurs. New social skills are formed quite quickly. If people understood that they could learn something so soon, then their life would be completely different. For example, to be able to play a musical instrument well and be known as a master of his craft, the average individual will need about one year. Is it a lot? Not at all! The possibilities are so incredible that even in such a short period of time he can learn something truly beautiful. Therefore, thoughts that you will not reach a certain level of development or a particular goal are often formed on the basis of stereotypes of lazy people. To see how amazing it is, it is enough just to set a goal and pursue it. But what will help to achieve goals and reveal new possibilities of a person?

The Importance of Systematic Effort

Most people never succeed because they don't persevere enough in their endeavors.

Patience and a little effort. This proverb accurately emphasizes the importance of systematic effort. Even if in an effort to develop some kind of talent or quality in oneself, attempts look unconvincing, and the results cannot be called victorious, it is important to continue to break through the road in the intended direction day after day and not give up.

Many people believe that special features are inherent in him from birth.

So, people celebrate talented individuals. In the same way, many justify themselves. Do not think that talented people were born as such. In most cases, we see not so much gifted people as hardworking and purposeful. It is important to make every effort to engage in the development of your personality. Such efforts bring great inner satisfaction.

The physical capabilities of a person develop according to the same principle. In this respect, of course, much does not depend on us. For example, a person whose height is 160 centimeters cannot become a professional basketball player, no matter how hard he tries. However, he is still capable of succeeding in this matter if he persistently strives for the goal.

Concentration

To stimulate the development of human capabilities, it is important to make the right choice and be able to concentrate efforts. Again, remember the proverb: "If you chase two hares, you won't catch one." In order to develop individual abilities and talents, it is important not only to go your own way, no matter what, but also to choose this path correctly, fully concentrating on it.

Let's go back to the example of a short man who is sure that the possibilities of a person are endless. He set himself the goal of becoming a professional basketball player. What is the positive side of this situation? Firstly, the fact that a person is not afraid to set ambitious goals. Secondly, he makes every effort and does not give up, despite the difficulties that he will definitely have to face. However, a person will still not be able to achieve his goal and become a professional basketball player. What's wrong? It's all about the wrong path.

For the best realization of opportunities, people should soberly assess their abilities and circumstances in order to set achievable goals. At the same time, it is important not to be distracted by extraneous tasks, the incidental solution of which can stop development and interfere with the conquest of peaks.

Motivation

Opportunities and can be revealed only if he is able to overcome such qualities of any personality as laziness, inertia. Understanding the value of the task - motivation - will help to cope with such obstacles on the way to the development of one's personality. In sports, people are motivated by the desire to be a winner, to win fame, fame, to have wealth. All this helps them to constantly improve and become more self-confident.

Unusual potential

Most people around are much more interested in seeing not the social capabilities of a person, but his unusual talents and abilities of the body. This is because extraordinary mental qualities are not striking, while the phenomenal capabilities of the human body will be noticed by everyone.

People are used to believing that they have their limit. According to scientists, it is partly for this reason that a person sometimes cannot overcome some kind of barrier or height, although he has the potential for this. The limit of human capabilities can be tested in stressful situations, when the mental barrier - that which is holding back - ceases to operate in its usual mode. This is proven by many examples. Surely you have heard more than once about people who, out of fear of danger, in seconds overcame a height of more than two meters or showed strength ten times greater than their usual strength. All this suggests that human capabilities are much larger than we used to think. With this in mind, we should not think that we can't do anything.

Consider what human capabilities have been demonstrated in different areas. These real cases confirm that almost everything is achievable.

Being in a cold environment

The time that a person can spend in the water is an hour or an hour and a half. During this short period, death occurs due to shock, respiratory failure, or cardiac arrest. It would seem that the physical capabilities of a person simply do not allow expanding this frontier. But there are other facts.

During the Second World War, a sergeant of the Soviet troops swam 20 kilometers in cold water, thereby completing his combat mission. It took the soldier 9 hours to overcome such a distance! Does this not mean that the world of human possibilities is much greater than we imagine?!

Proves this fact and one British fisherman. Within 10 minutes of being shipwrecked in cold water, all of his comrades died due to hypothermia, but this man lasted about five hours. And after he reached the shore, he walked for another three hours barefoot. Indeed, with regard to the cold environment, human capabilities are much wider than is commonly believed. What about other areas?

Feeling of hunger, or How long can you live without food

There is a general opinion of experts that a person without food will survive for about two weeks. However, physicians in some countries have witnessed amazing records that help to realize the fantastic potential of the human body.

For example, one woman fasted for 119 days. During this period, she received a daily dose of vitamins to keep her internal organs functioning. But such a 119-day hunger strike is not the limit of human capabilities.

In Scotland, two women checked into a clinic and began fasting to lose weight. It's hard to believe, but one of them did not eat for 236, and the second - for 249 days. The second indicator has not yet been surpassed by anyone so far. The resources of our body are really very rich. But if a person can not eat for so long, the question arises of how much he can not drink.

Water is life?

They say that without water a person can last no more than 2-3 days. In fact, this indicator depends on the individual capabilities of a person, his physical activity and ambient temperature. Scientists say that in optimal circumstances, without water, you can only live for a maximum of 9-10 days. Is it so? Is that the limit?

In the fifties, a man was found in the city of Frunze, who received a head injury and lay without help for 20 days in a cold and deserted place. When they found him, he did not move, and his pulse was barely palpable. However, the next day, the 53-year-old man was already able to speak freely.

And another case. In England, during the end of the Second World War, a steamship sank. ship wrecked in the Atlantic Ocean, escaped on a boat and stayed on it for four and a half months!

Other fantastic records

People can achieve far greater results than what is considered the norm, and sometimes even an incredible achievement. It's all about our brain, which on a subconscious level indicates a person to his limit. Such a mechanism, of course, benefits our body. However, understanding how such a system works, we can achieve much greater success in the area in which we decided to develop.

Not to list all the records showing that human capabilities are incredibly great. Such achievements have been made in sports, including in the field of power loads. There are also people who can not breathe for a very long time. Extraordinary abilities testify to the widest possibilities and prospects.

The fact that a person's potential is greater than he thinks is shown by one category of people, which, unfortunately, many do not treat with due respect. These are people with disabilities. How do such individuals confirm that the human body has great potential?

Manifestation of strengths

Many people with disabilities are meritorious in how to pursue their goals and not give up despite great obstacles. The development of a person in such difficult conditions not only gives its results, but also tempers the character. So, among the disabled there is a huge number of excellent writers, poets, artists, musicians, athletes, and so on. All these talents are largely the result of heredity, but it is the character that people with certain characteristics show that makes them professionals in their field.

History knows many great people who have achieved success in various fields of activity, although they were sometimes considered inferior. Here is just one example. Polina Gorenstein was a ballerina. After she fell ill with encephalitis, she became paralyzed. The woman lost her sight. Despite all the troubles that arose in connection with a serious illness, the woman began to engage in artistic modeling. As a result, her few works are still among the exhibits of the Tretyakov Gallery.

Where is the limit of possibilities?

We can reasonably believe that our possibilities are truly limitless, both physically and mentally. Therefore, the level of development at which a person is at a given moment in time depends solely on his desire and efforts. It is important to strive for excellence at all costs, despite the obstacles that arise.

Ecology of life. Life: Surely you have often thought about the question of what are actually the real possibilities of a person. What kind of creature is this man in general, an ordinary animal that evolved quite a bit from a monkey in terms of intelligence according to Darwin's theory, but on the whole remained approximately at the same animal level?

Surely you have often thought about the question of what are actually the real possibilities of a person. What kind of creature is this man in general, an ordinary animal that evolved quite a bit from a monkey in terms of intelligence according to Darwin's theory, but on the whole remained approximately at the same animal level?

Or is man a perfect and ideal creation of the Universe? A direct likeness of the Supreme Creator-Creator, who has yet to discover all the infinity of his potential abilities and possibilities that he actually already possesses, but for some reason they are still hidden for him ...

What is really available to a person: conscious control of all body functions, as some yogis say, or only what is now open to us by modern doctors and scientists?

Well, is it possible that even the legends are right that a MAN can do everything in the world, from flying, healing and walking on water, or turning into animals, as the Slavs and Indians say. Perhaps this is a vision through walls and even time, like psychics, or even a real materialization of objects from the air by Sufi sages.

Well, or only those who say that the maximum of a person’s real possibilities is simply lying on the couch and watching football with a can of cold beer are truly right. And today we will try to answer all these questions with the help of modern science, because science today is the main criterion for the plausibility of any knowledge and achievements.

Let's try to discard all conjectures and superstitions, and plunge into the world of real scientific knowledge. Although, in truth, even omnipotent science has recently discredited itself a little in the field of studying human capabilities. Most often, all the advanced scientific knowledge about the capabilities of a person of the very recent past, in their impenetrable stupidity, simply reached the point of comicality or absurdity.

After all, just a couple of decades ago, half of the doctors and academicians in the field of medicine could safely take you to a psychiatric hospital for injections if you said that a person can go without food for more than a week and not die. Yes, and almost all official encyclopedias of the last century cited similar figures. Even according to the famous Encyclopædia Britannica, a person had to die of starvation in a maximum of 10-14 days.

And note, this is at the same time as many experimenters with fasting, almost a hundred days, were near them for a long time. And this is not even taking into account the fact that Christ and Buddha were starving for quite a long time. Do these professors of medicine not read any books at all and do not look around? And fasting has nothing to do with it, if you think that scientists are afraid to study it.

By the way, one more fact, it is still believed that a person can live 5-7 days without water. Although all over the world they conduct medical fasting tours without even drinking water under supervision for 7-8 days with a trip to nature. And some people are happy to pay decent money for it, and are happy with the result, although, according to science, they should all die. But, as I said, and starvation has nothing to do with it, no modern science will explain to you other potential human capabilities.

The ability of a person in the cold, for example, competitions among the followers of "Tumo", to dry wet sheets on a naked body in frost. In which the winners dry up to several dozen sheets while sitting in the snow in shorts, naturally without getting sick with any flu. And this is in the mountains, where even breathing is not easy.

And this at a time when other people are dying of colds, just forgetting a warm scarf at home today. But where did their potential human capabilities and abilities go? But a person is capable of much and besides this, for example, in some countries, operations have been officially performed in hospitals more than once without anesthesia. And just ordinary people themselves, and under the supervision of psychologists, learned in just a couple of days how to stop feeling pain during surgery.

And this is without the use of any drugs, anesthesia or even hypnosis. But under hypnosis, people easily lie with their backs on two points of support, which even experienced athletes cannot, and bodies under hypnosis, due to relaxation, can withstand almost any load and not break.

Or even under the normal influence of NLP specialists, people can get drunk in seconds without even tasting alcohol. More than once, scientists have conducted research on sleep, various kinds of studies of the real abilities of a person, records and even real torture by insomnia. Which showed that on average the human body can withstand no more than 10 days without sleep. And then there are irreversible consequences for the human psyche, or even death.

Secrets of the brain. Incredible Ability!!!

But none of the scientists will scientifically explain how people can now exist who never sleep, and for decades, and feel very good about it. Such abilities most often appear as a result of accidents, but there are those who claim to have consciously acquired the ability not to need sleep.

It is also impossible to find explanations of scientists why sometimes some people during hypnosis speak in languages ​​they did not know before. And others, after clinical death, generally know almost a hundred languages, although before this event they knew only a few.

Indeed, so much information has already accumulated from enthusiasts in the field of various unknown human capabilities, with regards to various documented cases during clinical death. From reliable descriptions of the environment and the actions of doctors, while the person was under general anesthesia or was unconscious.

This will be of interest to you:

There are quite a few such amazing cases, or rather, many thousands. But they will never be recognized by scientists of a long ossified science, in any matters relating to the real abilities of a person. And this is not even strange, but simply a scientific fact. I wonder why no one studies these people, or do they carefully hide from scientists who are always hungry for knowledge and do not give interviews to the entire Internet? Well, or scientists themselves are not particularly interested in this, considering such deviations to be random and useless for other people. published
