Taming the unconscious mind
Posted by Samit - 20/07/09 at 11:07 amWe live in a world which is mostly dependent on conscious interactions between human beings. We are consciously act on things that we need to. From setting the alarm in the morning to brushing our teeth at night, most of us lead the day with profound conscious decisions .In order to do so , we rely heavily on the conscious mind, or the part of our brain which works on these conscious decisions.
But the other half , or a far greater half of our brain is known as the subconscious or the unconscious mind. This is that section of our brain which holds the key to a lot of our behavioural functions, attitudes, self beliefs and thought processes. Why do certain people differ on facing the same set of stimulus? The answer lies in this part of the mind which is usually difficult to connect and more difficult to acccess.The power of the brain unleased, covers topics by which you can access this part of your mind and look for answers that are stored here.
There is another way too to tame this subconscious mind to work for your benefit. This is by constant positive vibrations and reaffirmations. You need to go on reaffirming positivity each and every time to this subconscious self of yours. In return it would feed you the same amount of positivity when you need it most.
Now how can you push positive reaffirmations to your subconscious brain? The first and most effective way is by repetition. Repeating positive thoughts in your minds, repeating positive words, and positive sounds comes in handy. Listening to good speeches help, listening to self help programs also add to your subconscious images. You need to program yourself to say that you are able to resolve existing issues, face new ones and come out triumphant. The image of a smiling you holds a lot of water. Also does positive sounds and vibrations, like the tingling of church bells, prayers and hymns, music which is light and flowing. The Indians who are mostly Hindus place a lot of emphasis on the aspect of sound. Many of its religious hymns are built on the aspect of sound and its reverberations. Their ‘Ohm” is a sound which generates deep from within…. The far-east is well known to have birds in their homes. Chinese and far-east people can be seen gossiping with each other while their birds also do the same from within the cages.
The smell of flowers and incense are also good for the psyche as it helps in concentration of the mind.
Once you are able to connect to the other half of your mind, you need to keep that route of communication open and reinforce the positive thoughts at every opportune moment. A nice quite place may help initially, but later you would be attuned to practice the same even in crowded places, where you would be able to shut off your mind from the external mind and go in deep within you.
The multiple reaffirmation techniques would slowly create a new image f you deep within the recesses of your mind. The result would be that your conscious brain now begins to be fed that same information or image as it behaves with the social world. Thus it would only throw positive, dynamic and energetic images of you and react similarly to external stimulus as it has been programmed to react such. Positive feelings and ideas begets positivity. You would be able to keep nagging negativity out of your minds and thus prosper in your life and career. The unknown and the unconscious have ultimately been tamed.
All the best!!!
