Subconscious

The subconscious is a scarey thing to comtemplate for some people.We have been taught that it is a dark place that keeps deep dark secrets about ourselves that could destroy our peace of mind at the very least, and our lives at the very worst. And quite possibly it does. But, that is not its only function.

I think of it as a vast library full of books that has all my memories in it. It is not a dark place at all. There are bright pleasant lights, beautiful carpets and comfortable armchairs there. I enjoy to my visits! Yes, I know there are some books that haveunpleasant memories and maybe some that have dark secrets, but Iknow that when I visit there I am in control of what books are opened and read. I know it is my choice and so my visits are comfortable andrelaxed. Sometimes when I go there I ask for specific memories. Acouple months ago I was trying to recall the name of a town. I had beenthere are several occasions and I had sent mail to a relative thatlived there. But I just couldn't recall the name of that town! The only thing that came to mind was the word wood and I knew there was moreto it than that. So, I went into my library(the subconscious) and talked to the librarian there. I calmed my breatheing, stilled my mind and relaxed my body. Then I told her that the name of that town was stored there and I reminded her that I had been there and seen the name andI had written the name myself. I pictured the town in my mind and thenI asked that it be given to my conscious mind. A few minutes later I found myself thinking of trees and so I thought maybe that was a clue.So, I started thinking about different kinds of trees and a second later the name of that town popped into my head; Birchwood.

The subconscious does intrude itself on our conscious lives and it takescontrol to make it behave the way we wish it to. If we allow it to runrampant it does have the ability to hurt us. But, we need the sub-conscious to remain healthy in our body, mind and soul. The thing to dois to train the subconscious. Train it to work with us and not againstus. The reason it works against us is because of the things it has already been told. For those of us with low self esteem, the sub-conscious tells us the things we have always thought about ourselves.When we go there and tell the subconscious the truth about ourselvesit will reprogram itself to believe the new things we are saying and willtell us those things which in turn will build self esteem.

Set apart some of each day to spend with your subconscious mind. First thing in the morning is a good time. Tell it what you want to hearfrom it throughout the day and gradually you will replace the badmessages with good ones. As you develope this healthy approach, Ibelieve that even the deep dark bad secrets it keeps won't have theeffect on you that they have in the past. It is all a matter of perspective after all!

I am a health conscious individual that spends a lot of time researchingdifferent ways of thinking. It is important to me to think outside the box or the matrix if you will! I do not believe and accept everything I see, read, or hear. Some things I have found to be truths for my own life and those things I pass on to you. My maxims are "think for yourself" and "listen to your whole self, body, mind and soul!" I have found that if I do those two things I am always happy! The goal of myweb site is to supply those of you that have made the choice to go natural with quality products!
