| Trust In The Power Of Subconscious Mind |

The idea of the subconscious mind was once an accepted part of psychoanalysis. However, it has since suffered a fall from popularity in academic and professional circles, due in part to its acceptance by psychics and new age healers who claim it as a pathway to unlocking psychic powers and gateways to higher consciousness. The powers and abilities of the subconscious mind are unable to measured or tested in a laboratory. Since no two people are alike, no two minds, conscious or subconscious, will react the same to any given situation. This makes it difficult for the scientific community to accept the idea of the subconscious mind. The power of subconscious mind, however, is a very real and common phenomenon. It has been recognized (albeit under different names) and utilized by cultures across the globe and throughout history. The power of subconscious mind is still a useful tool today for modern people willing to acknowledge and trust it. This article will explain just what the subconscious mind is, and how it can help you in everyday life. The Subconscious Mind In order to begin to understand and unlock the power of the subconscious mind we must first know what it is and how to enter into it. When we are awake, thinking and feeling and aware of the world around us, we are in a conscious state of mind. We see things, hear things and respond to things in a logical, intelligent fashion. When we are asleep we are in an unconscious state of mind, unable to see what is around us and unable to respond to our environment. "Subconscious" is a separate category in between these two states of consciousness. It is a state of being simultaneously conscious and yet unconscious at the same time. A person may be actively aware of certain perceptions, thoughts, and feelings on the surface, and yet unaware of other perceptions, thoughts, and feelings that are nonetheless happening at the exact same time. Hence the name "subconscious," a term implying a secondary layer of perception occurring behind or beneath the surface layer of conscious thought that we are aware of. Our brains are constantly turned on, processing a large amount of information every second of every day. Much of this information we aren't even aware of! When you are working or concentrating on something your brain is still busy seeing, hearing and smelling, storing and processing this data without you even being aware of it. The relevant information is put in the front of the mind where we are easily able to access it, such as noticing when the phone rings or being aware of a sudden hunger pain. However, the rest of the information is still in our mind, and is being processed in that level of the brain beneath conscious thought in the subconscious mind. The Power of Subconscious Mind Frequently, the subconscious mind processes the perceptions that we're not consciously aware of, and arrives at a slightly different conclusion than our conscious mind does. In extreme situations, these conclusions rise to a semi-conscious level that the conscious mind is only dimly aware of, and certainly can't explain. Our ancestors had a term for this: they called it "instinct." It is a common feeling that happens to everyone, that sensation of something not being right, of being just a little bit of, or of having a bad feeling about something without being able to explain why you feel so uneasy. Later you might look back and see that your feelings were right on the mark. This is a prime example of the powers of the subconscious mind. Without you being aware of it your mind picked up on small pieces of information your conscious mind overlooked and came to the conclusion that something was wrong. Your subconscious, aware of an unseen threat, did its best to try to warn you. The instincts provided by our subconscious mind are a valuable survival trait. Unfortunately, today's society values thought, logic, evidence, and prove more highly than feelings, especially when those feelings can't be readily explained. The scientific community ridicules people who sense negative energy, who have premonitions of danger, or who claim to have a sixth sense. Consequently, the average person, fearing such ridicule, often ignores the "irrational" instincts of their subconscious mind-occasionally with tragic results. The power of subconscious mind comes from trusting it. Try to be aware of your subconscious mind, be open to what it is trying to tell you, even if it seems illogical. Humanity has evolved a subconscious mind for a reason, and our instinct exists to help us survive. About the Author: Hayley Fields is a writer for the popular http://www.mindpower-info.com site.
