Subconscious mind: The Most Powerful Thing In The Universe

By Elliot Cox

We are all aware that we have a subconscious mind. Many of us will even place the blame of our activities on the subconscious. How many of us though realize the power of the subconscious mind? It is one of our most powerful tools, and it can either be our best friend or our worse enemy. The subconscious mind ultimately controls the life you live. What exactly is the subconscious mind and why should we pay attention to what it is thinking?

We all admit to the existence of the subconscious mind despite the constant endeavors of some professionals. Our thoughts and actions are directed by this control board. When faced with some tough challenges, it becomes our guiding voice. Every individual's subconscious mind is as unique as a finger print. Even twins have an inner voice which is uniquely their own.

All of us have had encounters with our inner or subconscious mind. In times of distress and confusion or when you were about to take a decision which could destroy your life, your subconscious mind helped you to realize what you were actually doing. It made you weigh the pros and cons of your decision and made you choose the right path. Nevertheless, there are times that many people are told that they aren't really up to the mark or are not good enough or not handsome or beautiful enough. In other words, subconscious is nothing but your deepest feelings about yourself.

If those deep thoughts you have about yourself are negative then chances are better than not that you are not going to have the type of life that you want. The good news is that you can change the way you think about yourself. You can change the way the things that the subconscious mind says to start living the life you really want.

Affirmations are one of the most popular ways of changing your thinking. These are nothing but positive statements which are repeated by the person through out the day. This is inexpensive and can be done at home as opposed to those expensive sublimal messaging scripts. All you need here is to know the change you want to bring about.

Lets assume that its weight loss that you are looking for. So, you need to repeat the affirmation that you are your ideal weight instead of thinking about how fat or ugly you are. Write it down, record it, play this affirmation till it becomes ingrained in your psyche and subconscious. Many people even use their affirmations as screen savers and tape it to their mirror. Here you need to repeat it so many times that your subconscious mind accepts it as the truth and starts working accordingly.

With this example, you will start to notice that you will become your ideal weight. If you use affirmations to increase money, you will in fact have more money. You can apply this to anything in your life. It is possible. Perhaps you don't believe me.

Your mind affects your life and here is an illustration to prove this fact. Let's assume that you sleep till late one day and then when you get up, you see the watch and sigh 'oh it's going to be one of those tough days'. Accidents start happening, your shower doesn't work, your coffee spills and messes your best dress and in the office there are more accidents which make you think 'I was right, today is a tough day'

While the average person is going to shrug this off and say it was coincidence that all of those things happened. There are not such things as coincidences, everything happens for a reason and that reason is usually your subconscious mind delivering to you the things you think about.

People have realized the true power of subconscious mind with the help of books and movies like 'The Secret'. The 'law of attraction' is now a familiar term with every one. It simply means that your life is nothing but a reality created by your own subconscious beliefs.

Crazy as this seems quantum physics is in agreement with this basic theory and it has been proved that at subatomic level, the existence of matter really is intrinsically linked with the mind of the observer. This is also what the ancient religions have been saying for many thousands of years.

People who have tapped the power of the subconscious mind have also been able to change their reality according to their desires. For example people who wanted wealth have known that visualization and firm innermost beliefs can only make them achieve their dreams and as result have become some of the wealthiest people in the world due to their subconscious mind. - 14130
