The power of the mind – how to train your subconscious mind to achieve the impossible

If conscious efforts, by definition, are unable to provide passage to the subconscious mind, then unconscious stimuli can. When they enter below our level of conscious perception, which can only translate them into meaningless flashes without fully processing them, these subconscious messages activate certain areas of the brain. The stimuli that reach our subconscious have a great ability to trigger action, which means they can push us to do things without even realizing it.

Although this sounds dangerous, when we do it ourselves it can have beneficial effects. The subconscious mind can thus be transformed into a powerful guiding tool that can be used to serve our own goals. What was once an impossible achievement that requires efforts beyond our ability can be overcome through the power of reason and appropriate motivation.

Meditation

In addition to being healthy for the mind and body, meditation is one of the first ways you can try to benefit from your subconscious mind. When an MRI machine was used to examine Buddhist monks during meditation, the examination showed that those monks who had mastered the art of meditation, through decades of practice, had intense brain stimulation. One of the most obvious changes was related to neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to change its structure and functioning according to new experiments. This means a virtual reorganization of neural connections in the brain.

Moreover, the same study showed that meditation can expand your ability to be happy, increase your sense of empathy, and lead to a state of self-unity. Unusual changes in the brain entail changes in conscious and unconscious areas of thought. One example is the ability of monks to use their external (or outward-oriented) network of brains with their internal network (which deals with self-reflection and emotions). There is no doubt that meditation is a gateway to the power of reason necessary for a happy and peaceful life, and a step towards achieving the impossible. If modern science has just discovered this, Buddhist monks have known it for thousands of years.

Use of tools

Although the subconscious mind does not communicate with us directly, it can be made to respond to certain stimuli. Self-suggestion and affirmations are great ways to do this. While self-suggestion requires repetition and adaptation, affirmations work through positive thinking. Positive thinking is much simpler, hence anyone can practice it at any time. To make it easier, you can start with the negative form of getting rid of constant anxiety and negativity. The fact is that no one can always look at the positive side of everything. It is possible that Freud would have called this psychosis. Try instead to avoid being trapped in depressive thoughts. Don't think about the sad moments of the past, and then slowly but surely you will begin to feel better about yourself and your life as a whole. Boosting your self-esteem and happiness is one of the best advantages of taking advantage of your brain power. It is another step towards achieving the impossible.

Educate your subconscious mind

Man develops and matures through life lessons. Although we may not be aware of the values that our parents instilled in us, the subconscious mind is aware of this. Storing emotion, sadness, suffering, joy, jealousy and even hatred affects our behavior. It also determines the way we relate to others or think about certain topics. Emotions are repressed and repressed, but they can be translated by the subconscious into irrational fears, moments of depression, or even aggressive actions that cannot be explained when certain stimuli are present. In addition to preventing you from reaching your true potential, these fears and actions also damage your relationships and state of mind. In order to get rid of them, you have to find an explanation. For example, a fear of the dark can persist into adulthood if it is related to a traumatic childhood experience. Similarly, some words can be subconsciously associated with a love lost in the past, throwing you into a spiral of grief. If you can't handle the weight of your subconscious mind on your own, it's always a good idea to seek professional help. Once interpreted, these experiences that have lived in your subconscious mind lose their power. Instead of these negative experiences, install new goals, emotions, and beliefs that will benefit you as a person. The inspiration needed to change your perspective on life can be found almost anywhere. At the same time, forces that previously held you back can be reused to help you.

As a species, we have left behind the strong and flexible bodies that were necessary to survive in harsh external conditions. Even then, man was neither the fastest nor the most powerful creature in the world. We survived through creativity and community, both physically and spiritually.

We also dreamed of being the fastest and able to reach the clouds – and – and we achieved it – we dreamed that our will would be able to shape continents, change the course of rivers, defeat mountains, and level hills. The record of the power of the human mind is impressive. What was once impossible, we made it possible. Now, as masters and creators of our environment, the challenges of our outside world can be better dealt with by addressing the challenges that our minds pose to us. Through meditation, positive thinking, self-suggestion, and a deeper understanding of ourselves, we can benefit from our subconscious. By simply interpreting and taming the demons that haunt us, we can turn them into powerful tools that shape our behavior for the better.
