How To Understand Subconscious Mind Power For Everyone
Long ago there was a movie called Field of Dreams, which starred Kevin Costner. He was a farmer in the middle of Iowa trying to make a living during a difficult period. One day while riding his tractor, a voice said, ‘If you build it they will come.’ He glanced around for a bit, and then went about his business until it happened again. This voice was actually his subconscious mind.
You have the power to create the life you want, to change who you are, to change whatever you think is missing or inadequate into something perfect, all through the use of your subconscious mind. It’s truly a powerful and beautiful thing, and can heal, transcend current circumstances, make you feel good; or make you feel bad. This subconscious mind power, truly has the power to completely change our world if we take control of it.
If you’re skeptical, don’t worry. A lot of people are. However, let’s take a look at a few examples of just how powerful your mind can be. One of the most obvious is scientific, and actually occurs in the medical field. This particular subconscious mind effect has been documented over and over again. Called the ‘placebo effect,’ it’s most often used when medical trials are underway. One group of patients in the study is given a placebo, which is made of some type of inert substance that has no physical effect. The other group of patients in the study is given the actual drug. Both groups are told what the medication is used for and what it should do for them. Neither group knows whether they’ve gotten the placebo or the actual medication.
Most studies have shown at least some of what is called the ‘placebo effect.’ That is, at least some of the people in the placebo group have shown ‘effects’ from the ‘drug,’ even though they’ve actually gotten a placebo. That is, their subconscious minds decided that they had gotten the drug and produced some of the same benefits and side effects as they were told the actual medication would give them. Simply, these patients believed they had gotten the medication, so their subconscious minds produced the medication’s effects to at least some degree.
Or, let’s take another example. Perhaps you’ve gone to the doctor to get a medication for something that’s wrong with you. You may have noticed that although a doctor will tell you what the side effects are, he or she will usually minimize them to at least some extent. That’s because it’s been shown that patients will often exaggerate the side effects in their own minds (or become the small percentage that actually experiences severe side effects), and actually begin to experience those side effects as a sort of ‘negative self-fulfilling prophecy.’ Doctors don’t want that to happen, so although they are beholden by law to tell you what side effects are, they don’t exaggerate them specifically because they don’t want patients to create side effects.
What do these two examples above prove? That the power of suggestion AND the power of the subconscious mind will give you a very powerful results. It works in the medical field, and it can work in your everyday life, too. Why can’t you tap into this power and positively change your life? You can, with the power of suggestion; change the way your subconscious mind works by using it to your advantage.
You can use visualization to change the way you see things, too. Visualization is a very simple technique that really, really works. You can do this in a couple of different ways. Number one, close your eyes and visualize in your mind’s eye what you want, seeing it as though it were right there in front of you.
Since everything seems to work with visualization today, we recommend using a physical picture. It could be a new car you took with your camera phone or a new house with you standing in front of it. Whatever the case may be, having that acknowledgement that something could be yours will begin your path to the inner portion of your subconscious mind.
These traits have withstood the test of time and are only being recognized more so today. It’s been thousands of years since ancient religions continuously trained their subconscious mind and opened up the power behind it. Hopefully we will continue to embrace the positive effects it can have on our lives as a society.
A scientific field called quantum physics has shown that matter is no longer solid at the subatomic level and simply becomes pure energy. And, quantum physics has shown that the mind can actually manipulate this energy. In fact, quantum physics has actually proven that the energy itself does not exist UNLESS it is observed.
This is an unbelievable idea but there is mounting evidence to suggest that you create your own reality by manipulating the energy which creates matter. You mind does not react and respond to reality. It is your mind that has actually created that reality.
