Do you want to be more charismatic, quick-witted or smarter? The so-called Raikov method should be able to help you with this. What’s it?

Is there a person you admire incredibly? Whose characteristics you would really like to have? Her charisma and, above all, her intelligence? With the Raikov method, which was developed by a Russian psychotherapist, you should be able to acquire these characteristics.

Hypnosis experiments show the Raikov effect

Dr. Vladimir Raikov analyzed the human psyche in various experiments in the 1960s and 70s. He put some of his patients into deep hypnosis and had them imagine in their trance that they were a certain genius of history. And in fact, some of these people developed better skills and (apparently) higher intelligence. For example, a patient should imagine that she is the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Surprisingly, she began to be able to draw very quickly and very well and even recreate a picture of Raphael.

In the In psychology, these experiments and their result became known as the Raikov effect or Raikov method. And we can still use these findings for ourselves today. And we don’t necessarily have to allow ourselves to be hypnotized to do that. Because if we take advantage of the law of attraction and manifesting, the Raikov Method can also help us in everyday life to acquire the intelligence and success of others.

How to use the Raikov method

  1. In order to use the Raikov method practically for yourself, you should first choose a person, a role model, that you would like to emulate. Maybe you want the scientific mind of Marie Curie or the emotional and social intelligence of Oprah Winfrey?
  2. Next, imagine yourself as that person. Visualize yourself as this person in real situations. Think about how you would act as him, how you would think.
  3. Have faith that you not only can develop this person’s desired skills, but that you already have them within you.
  4. The more you do this, the more you internalize these qualities and can manifest yourself as being smarter, faster, or whatever you want to be.

Simply become smarter: Does the Raikov method really work?

Of course, it’s not really about you becoming your role model. Of course, you don’t have to and shouldn’t become a (mental) doppelganger of Oprah Winfrey. Rather, the Raikov Method is intended to enable you to break out of your usual thought processes and acquire completely new perspectives. It’s about thinking “out of the box” and developing ideas and solutions that you wouldn’t have come up with with your normal, perhaps somewhat fixed point of view.

Whether this actually increases your IQ remains questionable, of course. But the method can definitely help you react smarter to problems, become more open and creative and perhaps actually become a little bit smarter.
