Auto-suggestion and buddhism and how to use it

Two questions about Auto-suggestion : 1. What is buddhism's view on Auto-suggestion? What does Auto-suggestion affect? 2. How to use Auto-suggestion? You can answer one question or both: the more you explain the better, but all answers and links are appreciated. I would like people to expand on the subject, because I couldn't find much about it Edit : i mean to use it not for meditation itself or to affect it - but on all other aspects like "i will meditate a lot" "i wont do things for fun" ect ... To be even clearer : I know how to meditate - im not asking about how to improve my meditation with autosuggestion but how to use it to make myself meditate more and act better in daily life what i wonder is : can i say "meditate" or "dont do stuff for fun" and "brainwash" myself somehow to help advance my practice somehow ?
