Notes on the Subconscious Mind

If you look at my page called the Theater of Life you will see the core building plan for the life and the body are found in the Mental areas of the Unconscious Mind.  It is an open dynamic system that accepts change and adapts rapidly. think of how easily people learn fears it is often just a quick single experience.  In fact this level will change first then the body will follow.  It is wise to develop communication with this level of your being first to know what is held there then to be able to create change through that level.  In the image below you will see a graphic representation of how this occurs.  

The Conscious Mind is responsible to report conditions in the outer physical world.  The Unconscious Mind then adjusts internal things to accommodate that information.  The Conscious Mind is reporting back as to how the creating processes are going. There is a Veil that translates the information and it is often referred to as the border line state.  It is very similar to the CPU and operating system of a computer.  The hard drive is just a world of bits spinning on a high speed platter like a record yet from those yes and no bits emerge a complex reality of color and information.  Just as many of the messages that appear on the screen are hard to decipher so too are the message we receive in dreams, visions and intuitions.  But the work is worth while because once a few keys are understood communicating becomes easier, more clear and more forth coming.

As a starting point I suggest a simple exercise.  Do this at a time and place where you are not likely to be disturbed. Think of something you would like healed or improved.  First, think of what name you would give it as a summary title such as weight loss, prosperity or .........healing.  Start by doing a basic hypnotic relaxation technique such as taking a deep breath and closing your eyes then see yourself walking down a flight of stairs or entering an elevator then going down.  Then see your self sitting in a soft comfortable chair sinking in deep and feeling very comfortable.  Now see yourself, as though watching yourself on a screen, entering a building, a place where you feel comfortable,and looking down a long corridor.  Now look for a door with that name on it.  Remember you are in control and safe in this place.  Now open the door and look in the room.  What do you see? After observing the contents you have two choices you can close the door and return to your normal consciousness. Or, see yourself having great power in this place and changing things to get the room exactly as you would like it.  As you are finishing your changes ask yourself how good it would feel if all this changed as you are requesting.  After you are finished close the door go back out the corridor get up from your chair and reverse the steps you took to come here.

What you saw when you opened your door was an interpreted message from  your Unconscious Mind about that subject. Your choice of how to change it was your communication back to the Unconscious about how you want it to be.  It was all done through symbols both sides know well.  You may now get feedback in the form of a dream or a memory which will be your Unconscious telling you yes I got your message or no it will not change and this is why. If you suddenly remember an old experience this experience is linked to this request. You will find it beneficial to reaffirm the desired change you requested. You can repeat this many times but that is usually not needed.  Your feedback will tell you where or what to do next. Remember this is a basic level of Mind wanting to help and serve you but your communication must be clear and consistent. You will always get feedback, in some cases, it may take a day or two, although to the Unconscious it is instantaneous, but it will always come stay alert and you will recognize it.

Another way of getting in touch with the Unconscious is to remember childhood things such as your favorite toys, foods, sayings, rhymes etc. then relax and you should feel slightly different as though you have touched something or entered a special place. Choose your next thoughts clearly and wisely because you have the inner attention. As you return to your daily thinking you will loose that special mode.

If you have difficulty with these techniques go to my Anchors page for a different approach to these things.
