What is the subconscious mind ?

By Jeremy James http://www.mindbodyvortex.com/

Have you ever ended up driving to work and wondered

– for a second – how you got there? With no recollection of stopping at the red lights, turning left or even driving at all.  Who was driving while you were busy

thinking about the upcoming day or what you just saw on the morning news?

There is a deeper part of your mind at work here; a hidden gateway that operates below the level of awareness. 

Known as the subconscious mind,  this part of your brain drives most of what you do throughout the day and is responsible for every aspect of your life whether you like it or not.

The habit of driving, for example, has been programmed into your

subconscious mind through experience – allowing the

conscious mind to focus on other things if desired.

Your subconscious mind is your

autopilot

Your conscious mind decides what needs to get

done and your subconscious provides the resources and information

to get the job done seamlessly – almost

spontaneously.

Things seem to "just happen" as we move through our daily lives. Each action we take and each event that takes

place following our morning routine just seems to unravel without much questioning or mental control on our part.  

We just do what we need to do and that's it.  Reality happens to us, and not the other way around.  This is one

of life’s biggest illusions!

THE MIND CAN BE BROKEN

DOWN INTO TWO

COEXISTING PARTS

Conscious Mind

Subconscious Mind

We live here and this is the mind we

experience life from.

This is the mind we identify with and call “I”.

Every action we take,

what we feel and what we perceive as reality is witnessed through the eye of the conscious

mind.

CONSCIOUS MIND

The totality of mental processes of which we

are not aware. This is the part of consciousness that is normally not in

focus.

SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

The subconscious mind is a composite of everything we

see, hear, smell and any information the mind collects.

The conscious mind cannot

always absorb random information, so the

subconscious mind stores this information where it is locked up and only provided to the

conscious mind when needed.

SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Psychologist Pierre Janet (1859-1947) has said:

“underneath the layers

o f c r i t i c a l - t h o u g h t functions of the conscious mind lay a power fu l awareness that called the subconscious mind. ”

Every conscious action or experience produces an impression on the subconscious. The subconscious mind uses this impression to produce a reaction, which is expressed in the personality.  Everything expressed through the personality was first impressed on the subconscious. These impressions act as seeds – good or bad.

A Deeper Look Into the Definition of Subconscious

All of your hopes, dreams and desires have been impressed on the subconscious mind through conscious influence and are always ready to be expressed. Can you recall a moment when a random smell caught you out of nowhere,   releasing some deep feelings inside of you? Not just a memory;   but a vision, a desire or a powerful dream that has been safely locked away below your awareness waiting to be stirred up.

Maybe the scent of freshly cut grass or

garlic and basil could trigger this

phenomenon. Moments like these open a window –

giving us a glimpse into the vast world of unlimited storage

which is largely unknown to us.

The subconscious mind stores all of your previous

life experiences, your beliefs, your memories,

your skills and all situations you've ever been

exposed to.

This mind of infinite possibility obeys any

desire of the conscious mind and by knowing how to communicate properly, anyone may

attain any quality at any quantity.

Personal Power Remarkable

Talents Intellect

Rare Abilities of Greatness

Peace & Balance Energy & Joy

Mental Health

These are the realities that the subconscious mind can produce when properly

directed. The possibilities are limitless and guiding the subconscious mind can

become an art form – the art of attainment.

By concentrating frequently upon the subconscious mind, you will steadily awaken this great potential and with this

comes a bigger power and a sense of limitless belief. This is important because perfect faith and trust in the

process of tapping into the subconscious mind will cause desired results to be secured and virtually impossible to fail. The deeper the belief,  the stronger the reaction from the

subconscious mind in expressing into your reality.

Combining a strong belief with a profound desire that is felt within your entire body is the secret of attainment. This is

where you can communicate with a deeper realm of your conscious energy and – in a

relatively short amount of  time – reprogram your mind to

produce huge results in your life by developing powerful habits.

Doubts and anxiety will

eventually disappear.  

You talk to your

subconscious mind all

the time but are usually unaware that this is even

taking place. But what if you could bring some

awareness to these deep

conversations and start crafting some intentional

outcomes in your life?

By using your conscious mind to install some new programs (habits), you can utilize the connection between your

conscious and subconscious mind to your advantage Your life skills will improve and you

will have much more control over your state of mind.

Daily affirmation and visualization is an amazing practice when it comes to reprogramming your mind and producing abundant

change in your life.

It is not as hard as you might think and here is how you can get to w o r k o n c h a n g i n g limiting beliefs.  

It is not as hard as you might think and here is how you c a n g e t t o w o r k o n changing limiting beliefs.

Start by writing down the main issues

that you are struggling with in your life.

Give this some thought and focus on

the things that you know deep down

you are not satisfied with. This may be

within your relationships, career, health,

finance, self-image, spirit, etc. Try to

look into many different aspects.

For each problem or issue, identify

and write down the associated

personal beliefs that might be a

contributing factor.

Here are a few examples:

 

“I don’t have enough time to do it.”

“I have weak self-discipline.”

“I am not that type of person.”

“It will be too hard.”

“I can’t handle change.”

For each limiting belief, create a positive alternative ( opposite of the current belief.)

So if you believe that you are afraid of change, for example, your positive alternative

will be that you are optimistic and open to unlimited possibility.

It is extremely important to use the affirmation in present form, "I am". This is how the

subconscious mind is able to read this as a solid intention - as if it is already taking

place....

Write down the positive alternative and bring your attention to them each morning and

throughout the day. Write them down before you go to bed and bring your awareness and

intention towards fulfilling these new beliefs.

For each new belief, develop one action or small goal that you can

achieve each day that would fall in line with this new way of thinking.

With time and consistent practice, you will begin to

reprogram your subconscious to accept the new belief. This

process can take anywhere from a few weeks to 6 months,

depending on how hard wired your current belief system is.

As you learn and grow, your former beliefs may not bring value because they have become outdated and obsolete. You need to become aware of which beliefs are holding you back and start the process of changing limiting beliefs. This takes practice, but repetition is the key and you will be amazed at the results!
