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.
This subconscious mind power,has the ability to shape your future. It’s a beautiful thing, the power of the fully harnessed mind. It has the power to heal, to transcend, to connect us to other people in the world, even to shape our futures. It’s a beautiful thing that very few people see realized to their full potential.
If you’re still skeptical it’s not like you’re the only person out there. We understand how difficult it is to go from doing something you’re used to everyday to changing the whole thought process. However, it’s important to keep an open mind about the material we’re about to provide. The scientific or medical explanation of subconscious mind power is the Placebo Effect. This is most common when two groups are formed to take medication without knowing who gets the real deal and who gets 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.
Think about this. When you go to the doctor and you are prescribed a new medication does the doctor tell you the side effects? If your doctor does then he/she is a rarity. You could be thinking that they are not doing their job. Actually they are. They know how powerful the mind is. They know that if they suggest that negative things could happen that you will either not take the medication or you will take it and get the side effects no matter how rare.
This suggestive power, and your subconscious mind power, used in concert, can unlock great potentials for you. It can work in the every day realm as readily as it does in the realm of medicine. This power of suggestion, the belief that if you focus on positive outcomes, you’ll get positive results, has been part of self help books since the 19th century, and is currently called the Law of Attraction.
While focusing on your positive thoughts of the inner mind is a good approach, others tend to take a different route. In today’s world it seems that most people turn to using visualization to alter the way their mind sees things. This is can either be done by closing your eyes and picturing it, or see it in the flesh.
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.
Although this has been common knowledge for years to the really rich and high achievers, it has only been recently that scientists have started to understand the very real scientific process associated with this.
The prevailing view is that quantum effects are being manipulated by the observer effect. Some call it an energy field, but it’s more accurately described as the fact that if you observe a quantum effect, you are limited in the information you can retrieve from it. Wave forms collapse and probabilities realign.
See, it may be hard to understand your first time going over the subject, but the subconscious mind is the reason your matter and energy is obtained. In the past we believed it to be the other way around. It’s a true testament to the fact that everything is created through the mind and why the subconscious mind is so powerful.
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.
What it comes down to is figuring out whether or not it’s for you. If you could change your life by thinking about it, wouldn’t you at least try it? Just try it out for the next week by simply using the affirmations process. When you’ve implanted this into your daily routine, move on to the visualization techniques we discussed earlier. The end result is you’ll be training and developing the subconscious mind the way it was supposed to be used.
