Prohibition Chicago. A gang bursts into the bar. The leader addresses the taper:
- Hey! One-eyed, sing "Chicago"!
- I am not one-eyed and I will not sing "Chicago", the people are insolently responsible for the piano.
The leader walks up to the taper and hits him in the eye with his index finger.
- Chicago, chicago, chicaaaagoooo …
And now about the Chicago phenomenon of listening and broadcasting bad news.
Chicago Phenomenon: Chicago Road Crash News
In 1980, a very interesting experiment was carried out on Chicago radio.
For a whole week, the hourly bulletins did not report traffic jams and accidents on the roads of Chicago.
The result of this experience amazed many at the time.
The number of accidents in the city has been reduced to a minimum. That is, these were statistically significant indicators.
Let's say on average for a week on the streets of Chicago there were 150 accidents of such importance that they could be broadcast on live radio. During the experiment, their number was reduced to 20-50.
Then, when the crash summary returned to air, the averages went back to the usual 120+ car collisions per day.
The experimenters did not believe it and blamed everything on sunny weather during the experimental week.
Then the initiators of the experiment took another week to repeat the experiment, during the rainy season. When the dear ones are wet, it increases the braking distance and decreases the visibility on the highway.
And again the number of accidents decreased, and at the end of the experiment returned to normal.
The Chicago Experiment: Meditation on Metta
Meditation on Metta - this is a meditation of loving kindness, when its participants wish good first to themselves, then to their loved ones, expanding the circle of wishes from the inhabitants of their city to the whole world.
When doing meditation, it is very useful to tap the center of the chest in the region of the thymus gland with the palm of your hand.
So the "Chicago group" that initiated the experiment with traffic news did not calm down and decided to understand how a prayer or a wish of kindness can influence other people and change the situation on the roads of Chicago.
For a whole week, a group of 25 people gathered every hour at the meditation center and did metta meditation, including messages of kindness and wishes for the health of all drivers in the city of Chicago.
The number of accidents during the meditation week decreased by about half.
Conclusion: I suggest making a collegiate conclusion in the comments to this article.
Recommendation: if you are worried and bad news haunt you - contact the author of the article for support, for example, by opening a Demo Consultation with him on the site's Forum.

Distortion Of Our Perception Under The Influence Of Past Experience. The Phenomenon Of Transference And Countertransference
The phenomenon of transference described by Sigmnud Freud is one of the main discoveries in psychoanalysis and psychotherapeutic practice. According to Carl Gustav Jung, "transference is the alpha and omega of therapy." This phenomenon consists in the fact that feelings, expectations, behavior and other features of relations with significant figures from the past are transferred (projected) to other people in the present.
