Remember when Kevin Costner started hearing voices in the Field of Dreams movie? While his family was struggling to make ends meet, these voices were saying, ‘If you build it they will come.’ Eventually it came to pass that he thought these inner voices were telling him to build a baseball field. This inner voice was his subconscious mind talking.
See, the power to create the life of your dreams, to change the person you are, to change the way things are in your life is all in your mind. The power of the mind is a beautiful thing, honestly. The mind has the power to heal us, to transcend us� to make us feel good or make us feel bad. The subconscious mind power that each of us have is enough to completely change the world� if we all would only take control of that power.
Sceptical, probably, allow me to give you a few examples of subconscious mind power at work. One of my favorite examples to give is scientific, medically actually. This example is offered because the results have been documented time and time again. It is the Placebo Effect. Most commonly this term is used when medication trials are taking place. You have the control group, which are given a sugar pill (or placebo) and then the study group who get the actual med. Both groups are told what the medication is for and what it should do for them. Neither group knows if they are getting the actual medication or the placebo.
This example � the placebo control � is something that’s used repeatedly in all drug tests, and it’s something that scientists have to correct for in their data gathering. Placebo effects usually aren’t as strong, and they aren’t reliable; you can’t predict which person will react to a placebo and which needs the full drug before testing, but it’s still a valid medical testing concern.
Doctors even understand the importance of using the subconscious mind. In fact, next time you go to get a new prescription from your physician, see if he/she tells you about the side effects. Most likely not, because they don’t want to throw out all the negative aspects of taking a pill. Doing so will leave you either not wanting to take it, or ending up with the side effects even if they are unbelievably rare.
Unfortunately, it has taken us far longer to reach this understanding then it should have throughout history. It was used thousands of years ago by ancient religions and then realized years later. Once we figured out that the power of suggestion combined with subconscious mind power could change anyone’s life, it was much easier to train the mind.
Ways to use the Law of Attraction and your subconscious mind power is through visualization. You build a reference image, you visualize yourself achieving the goal, and then repeat that image as a mental movie. Do this enough times, and you’ll find your subconscious is pointing out opportunities to make that vision come true.
Another way, and this is often used in conjunction with the first technique, is to create a physical picture. Let’s say that what you want is a new car, find a picture of the car you want� better yet, go get a picture taken of you with the car. Hang that picture up where you can see it every day; the more you see it, the more the vision is imprinted in your mind� your subconscious mind the more power it has. The subconscious mind power that you have will make that vision a reality.
Even though this has been known for centuries, it’s taken our world this long to embrace it. Scientists from all around the world are beginning to understand the positive effects this can have on your life.
At subatomic levels matter ceases to be ’solid’ and is shown to be pure energy. Quantum physics has shown beyond doubt that this energy can be manipulated by the mind. In fact as strange as it seems, quantum physics actually shows that this energy can not exist without the mind of the observer.
So matter/energy only exists because it is being observed; in other words it is the mind which is responsible for the matter existing – not the other way around. All matter and hence all reality has been proven to be a creation of our mind. This is the true meaning of ’subconscious mind power’!
This idea that reality is shaped by our perceptions of it is the fundamental precept of Eight Way Buddhism, where the goal is to achieve enlightenment by giving up all wants, and all negative focuses. Sound familiar? Whether you come to the Law of Attraction through popularizations of quantum mechanics or religion, it’s still a powerful effect to harness.
So if you could change your life just by thinking about it, wouldn’t you? All you have to do is harness your subconscious mind power. Use it to your advantage instead of letting it control you. Spend the next week using affirmations or visualization techniques to acquire what you want. Make it something small at first and when you see that it works make yourself a new life by developing your subconscious mind power.
