Your subconscious mind is a powerful force.

It makes up most of your brain power and handles everything your body needs to function properly, like eating and breathing, to digesting and making memories.

It’s also your guidance system. It constantly monitors the information coming in from the senses for dangers or opportunities.

According to Sigmund Freud, 90% of the human mind is the subconscious, and it’s full of involuntary thoughts and behaviors.

Today we’re talking about the mystery and power of the subconscious mind

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Why is the Subconscious so Powerful?

Think of it as a giant memory bank.

All of the memories, emotions or even beliefs about everything you’ve ever experienced gets stored in the subconscious, sort of like programs on a computer.

And its capacity is virtually unlimited. Our brains have developed the ability to download a massive amount of information.

What’s an Example of Subconscious Thought?

Examples of your subconscious mind include our perceived fears, beliefs, desires, and also even hidden memories that you may not be aware of.

What is Subconscious Behavior?

A good example of subconscious behavior would be breathing. We don’t have to think to breathe, but we can change how we control our breath and its patterns.

Where is the Subconscious Mind Located?

The subconscious mind lies just below the surface of your conscious mind.

It houses things like our emotions, memories, instinctual impulses, and primal directives for survival.

What Influences Your Subconscious?

Our subconscious is formed from our memories and experiences earlier in life.

Those memories and experiences partly determine our adult behaviour. Our conscious mind is fed information from our subconscious usually without us realizing it.

What are Subconscious desires?

When you have a desire coming from a part of your mind you can’t control, this is an example of a subconscious desire.

Can your Subconscious Mind Control You?

Scientists estimate that 95 percent of our brain’s activity is unconscious. This means that most of the decisions we make, the actions we take, even our emotions and behaviours, depend on that 95 percent of brain activity that we aren’t consciously aware of.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Your first step in harnessing the power of the subconscious mind is to eliminate the thoughts that are loaded with negative emotions.

You also need to stop any negative self-talk or at least make sure that it’s also not loaded with negative emotions.

How Can I Remove Negative Thoughts From My Subconscious Mind?

Some ways to start re-training your mind include:

• Give yourself permission to be successful.
• Don’t allow other people’s fears to cast any doubt.
• Surround yourself with positive reinforcement.
• Become aware of your constant inner dialogue.

What Can Meditation Do to the Subconscious?

People that mediate appear to be more aware of their unconscious mind. Scientists have found that people who practice meditation are more aware of their unconscious brain activity, leading to a feeling of conscious control over their bodies.

When you meditate and start controlling your breath, you gain some control from the subconscious mind and give it to your conscious mind.

You start breathing deeply from your stomach. Then you slowly stop to control it consciously and your subconscious starts taking over. You don’t have to think about it anymore.

How to Speak to Your Subconscious Mind

• Shift your inner dialogue. One of the biggest steps to programming your subconscious mind is to be aware of your constant inner dialogue.
• Form a clear vision of who, and what you want to become.

How Do You Unlock Higher Consciousness?

• Awaken. Become more aware of what’s going on inside yourself and all around you.
• Live mindfully.
• Set intention.
• Act consciously.

How Do I Know if I am Spiritually Awakening?

• You have frequent, strong feelings of appreciation.
• You have an ability to act spontaneously, instead of actions only based on past experience.
• The ability to enjoy each moment.
• You feel much less worry.

How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind for Success and Happiness

• Visualize the success that you desire.
• Have a clear vision.
• Write down your goals.
• Meditation.
• Engage in positive self-talk.

Final Thoughts

Appreciate what life has given you. Get your subconscious mind to believe that what you have is good for right now, you don’t need more, and you actually will move towards attaining greater positivity.

So now we have a basic idea about how to control our subconscious mind. There’s nothing to stop us now from learning more, and trying some of these techniques.

I wish you the best, I hope you activate your subconscious mind, and accomplish your goals and achieve the success in life you seek.
