The Power of the Subconscious Rachel Devine
What is the subconscious mind and why is it so powerful? Believe it or not the subconscious mind rules your life. Neville Goddard, an expert in the field of subconscious mind, says that 97% of our life is predicated by the subconscious mind. Nothing really happens in our day without the direction of that part of the brain that is not really audible or visible, and yet has so much power. The power of the subconscious mind is incredible. Therefore, let’s explore this part of our being that has the power to make our lives positive or negative. In order to do that we need to explore both the conscious and subconscious mind. I will show you the subconscious mind power techniques and how the subconscious mind works. More importantly, I will demostrate how you can change your destiny with the power of the subconscious mind.
Conscious and Subconscious mind
The conscious mind has accumulated a wealth of information since our birth and throughout childhood and adulthood. Thousands of thoughts and feelings get embedded in our conscious state and relayed over to our subconscious mind. The conscious mind is considered male, where thoughts are formed and turn into feelings.The subconscious mind is female, like a woman’s womb where birth or form takes place.
Freud explained the mind in distinct levels, each with their own roles and functions. These are two of the levels of the mind:
The conscious mind contains all of the thoughts, memories, feelings, and wishes of which we are aware at any given moment. This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about rationally. This also includes our memory, which is not always part of consciousness but can be retrieved easily and brought into awareness.
The unconscious mind is an unlimited amount of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that are outside of our conscious awareness. The unconscious contains contents that are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict as well as joy, love and feelings of contentment, just to name a few.
Since 97% of our subconscious mind is the commander of our life, it’s important to pay attention to this area of our brain. We navigate in life, making major decisions, by our subconscious mind. To be clear, it is an automatic response to life, because we don’t have access to our subconscious mind on a conscious level. Subconscious mind is always with us, but not visible by our conscious mind. We can’t grasp what it is doing, yet it navigates almost all of our actions.
When you get up each morning, have breakfast, shower, get dressed, and check your schedule, these are automatic routine events that you don’t really think too much about, you just do them. The subconscious mind is navigating these events without you putting any thought or focus on the subconscious mind or even understanding what is transpiring with it.
Feelings are the Secret
Remember, all of our past traumas, experiences, joyful events and so much more are stored in the subconscious mind by our feelings. It is not stored by thoughts, only feelings. Therefore, when an event happens in our life, we feed the feelings into our subconscious mind and that is one of many layers of feelings that help us navigate our life. There are layers and layers of past feelings floating around in our subconscious mind. However, my understanding is, whatever you feed your subconscious mind on a regular basis will be what navigates your life.
Feelings are the secret, because it is in the feelings that we can change the subconscious mind from negative to positive experiences. It is in the feelings that we can actually change our destiny.
Repatterning
Let’s say you have anger issues from past experience, let’s say, in childhood. This anger and perhaps resentments are regressed in your subconscious mind and perhaps that is what you are resonating with in life. Therefore, you might have a chip on your shoulder with everyone you encounter. Or perhaps uncontrollable anger towards those you love.
You can actually repattern the subconscious mind to overpower the anger feelings with loving feelings. Repatterning our subconscious mind is something that is definitely feasible. Or let’s say you are dating and you keep meeting narsisitic dates. Your subconscious mind was programmed in childhood to a point that makes you attract the same type of man/woman that you programmed in your brain as a child. You can repattern that in your subconscious mind, as well.
Manifesting Change
Not only can you change the subconscious minds negative influence on you, but what if we could influence the subconscious mind to a point where you can manifest what we want in life, say manifesting our goals or wishes? What if we could tell our subconscious mind what direction we want your life to go in, and that becomes a reality? Would that be a magical world of illusion or reality? Well, believe it or not the answer is it would be a world of reality.
The key is to repattern our subconscious mind with enough positive feelings that relate to what we want to manifest. It is the feelings of what you want to manifest, as if it is already here, which must be relayed into the subconscious mind in order to manifest it into reality. All form in the world originated as a thought and feelings. Some thoughts and feelings are more powerful than others. Now, just take a minute to allow that to sink in.
The Miracle of the Subconscious Mind
Neville Goddard, who wrote over 60 books on the field of manifesting and subconscious mind, has declared these fascinating theoretical statements, that are quoted from his book, “Feeling is the Secret,” regarding manifesting and the subconscious mind, which people like Dr. Wayne Dyer confer with.
“The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.”
“Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feelings. No idea can be impressed on the subconscious until it is felt, but once felt – be it good, bad or indifferent, - it must be expressed. (by the subconscious into form)
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and feel as true, the subconscious can and must objectify. Your feelings create the pattern from which your world is fashioned, and a change of feeling is a change of pattern.”
“Chance or accident is not responsible for the things that happen to you, nor is predestined fate the author of your fortune or misfortune. Your subconscious impressions determine the conditions of your world.”
Your subconscious impressions determine the conditions of your world! The subconscious mind takes in feelings and then brings whatever those feelings are into form. In other words, if you decide you want to meet your soulmate, put those feelings into the subconscious mind, then the subconscious mind will bring that soulmate into form for you. It may sound farfetched, however, Neville Goddard had many seminars where people attested to manifesting wishes with the subconscious mind and these techniques.
Manifesting our Wishes
Remember, feelings can change your destiny. It is important to stay positive in all areas of life, and that does take a lot of practice and disipline. These simple steps will help you manifest your wishes in life or change your negative thoughts to positive thoughts, thereby, changing your life.
Before you fall asleep, those last 5 minutes are the most powerful. You are transitioning from conscious thoughts, to subconscious mind and then when you fall asleep into an unconscious state. These are the most powerful times to invoke feeling into the subconscious mind. So you want to fill your head with positive feelings. If you want to lose weight, see yourself at your ideal weight, just envision one photographic image in your mind of how you look when you lost weight, and then general feelings of of happiness, feeling healthy, having more energy, how it feels to buy new clothes, etc, and fall asleep with those positive feelings. What is going to happen is your subconscious mind will direct your steps in order to manifest your dream of being healthy and losing weight in your waking world.
If you want to manifest a new house, see every aspect of the house in one photographic type of picture and feel how wonderful it feels to be in the house, see the price as being perfect, feel how wonderful it is, how happy you are, etc. and fall asleep to that.
Techniques to Manifest your Wishes
1. Before you fall asleep pick one condensed single idea that illustrates your wish is happening now. Neville gave the example of a person wanting a promotion (the wish) and the single idea or picture was a man shaking his hand to congratulate him for the promotion. It’s important to use a single idea in your imagination rather than a motion picture of the event in various different acts, because the mind will wander and it one must let go of how it will happen, only that it did already happen. That is key. You visualize your wish is already in form.
2. Once you get this visual in your imagination you will resonate with the feelings. How does it feel to have a promotion? I feel happy, financially secure, valued, loved, etc. The secret is the feelings, as Neville tells us. The feelings are what the subconscious mind will pick up.
3. Drift off to sleep with the feelings of the wish fulfilled, as this is the time when the subconscious mind will go into a deep unconscious state and start to pick up all that you are feeding it as you fall into a sleeping state. Your subconscious mind has around 8 hours to marinate with these feelings.
4. The next day you should wake up feeling pretty happy and content. Continue to do this exercise every night until the wish you want is fulfilled. According to Neville, whatever you put into your subconscious mind before bedtime will materialize, since the subconscious mind is like a female womb at birthing.
Do this for at least 30 days or until your wish is fulfilled. Neville Goddard said he has 135 people at a seminar and 35 said the manifested what they wanted in 2 weeks, so the time-frame can be short or longer.
In conclusion, these are the basic techniques of the subconscious mind and manfesting. For more information, please visit my website.
