How the Subconscious Mind Works
We have all heard about the subconscious mind, yet very few of us know how it really works. The fact is that it's almost as if the subconscious has a mind of its own which makes us act in ways that we just don't understand. A perfect example of how it works takes place when we are driving. Think about how many times you have been behind the wheel and your mind drifts to other things happened earlier or are about to come in the future. When you snap out of that reverie, you aren't entirely sure how much time has passed, or worse yet, how you made it to this point in the road unharmed. What occurred was that your subconscious mind took control of the wheel while your thoughts traveled elsewhere. You will never remember it, but you expertly obeyed every light and road signal in the same way that you would have had you been full focused on the road. That is actually somewhat similar to the way in which your subconscious mind will lead you through life. You will find that you make decisions that may seem based on impulse, but are actually suggestions based on a lifetime of experience stored in your subconscious. It also explains why so many people have difficulty making major personality and life changes, because the behavior that they have grown so accustomed to is completely ingrained in the subconscious. Even when you know that you want, or even need, to make changes, the subconscious will trip you up every time you try to do so. It may sound strange that your mind would get in the way of you doing the right thing, but it happens every day, and the only way to change that is to re-program the subconscious so that it will work in your favor. While hypnosis has often been used to access the subconscious mind in an effort to affect change, subliminal messaging has actually proven to be even more effective. It also helps that subliminal messages can be absorbed into the subconscious while you work on your computer. The positive images and messages will flash, unseen by the naked eye, on your screen as you work. The subconscious mind will soak up those images and the re-programming that is required will start to take place. If you can control your subconscious mind, rather than letting it control you, it will enable you to take control of those areas of your life that have always seemed out of reach.
