The Power of the Subconscious Mind
The Power of the Subconscious Mind
When you think about the subconscious benefits of the mind, most of it becomes overlooked. Truth be told, your mind is the most powerful creation known to man. We have to remember that all our actions begin from the mind and then translate to the body. However, there are times when this reaches your conscious level.
Let's look at an example where you want to change the channel on the television. Chances are good that you have been in a place where you just picked up the remote and flipped the channel without thinking twice about it. You didn't need to worry about the particulars of the action because you were very used to it, you knew what to expect and the action has become subconscious.
Before we get deep into this conversation, it's important to understand how an action occurs. Normally you might be sitting in front of the TV and want to change the channel. The conscious mind will tell you to pick up your remote and press the appropriate button. However, there are times when you see maybe a commercial you don't like and automatically change it without even giving it a second thought. This occurs because you've trained your subconscious to change the channel when that particular commercial is on.
It is only through utilization of their full potential that people learn to let go of the material wants and needs of the world and focus on their true potential as human beings. Don't be afraid of the subconscious mind; it's a reservoir of untapped potential. Thinking it only contains negative outcomes is an example of negativity breeding negativity.
However, that same concept can be run in reverse. Thinking of the positive outcomes of an action can make them come closer to their realization. This need not be complicated, it's not rocket science. It's using what's called the Law of Attraction to bring positive outcomes to your life. It's a simple process and anyone can do it.
When you are looking into how to harness the power of your subconscious mind, you'll discover that one great tool to use is affirmation. Through affirmation, you are going to remind yourself of positive things to achieve your goals.
Maybe it's not even you that is suffering from this problem. It could be your best friend, a spouse, or even your kids. An easy example to understand is when you have to cut your grass. The positive person realizes that once they are finished they don't have to do it for another week or so. The pessimist starts thinking about how long it's going to take and what else they could be doing. It's a normal stress response that takes the energy right out of you, which is why this is a crucial step to your success.
As with anything else in life, the key is to focus on the benefits. While it may seem selfish in some ways, you should use this to focus on what's good for you. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're a work in progress and note the improvements you've made, and focus on the improvements and goals you want to achieve. This will cause your task to resolve itself with the minimum interruptions and distractions.
With affirmations, you can do things like quit smoking or drinking or even overeating. With constant repetition of your affirmation, you can tap into your subconscious mind and get the response and the level of commitment that you need to move forward; this can really change your behavior for the better!
Other ways to tap into the power of your subconscious mind include hypnosis and post hypnotic suggestions. More than the scenario of the Manchurian Candidate, hypnosis is a way to program your subconscious to do things for you. Consult with a hypnotherapist to see if this is the right avenue for you to use.
You may also want to look into a brand new process know as binaural beats or brainwave synchronization, which will let you listen to special sound frequencies using headphones. Because the two sounds that you are hearing are different, it forces the two hemispheres of your brain to synchronize. This in turn will put you into a deep meditative state that lets your conscious self get in touch with your subconscious mind.
One of the more outlandish claims is that the subconscious mind allows us to manipulate matter on the subatomic level, by using what quantum physics calls the Observer Effect. This is also the secret behind transistors, and electron tunneling. It's more than just electronics, it's also The Secret, as covered by the movie of the same name.
Some are taking advances in quantum physics and correlating them to the teachings of ancient religions, and finding that they match up very well. We live in a world that gets stranger the more we look into it, and not all sources of wisdom wear robes or lab coats. .
