There’s been an ongoing debate about which is more powerful in terms
of making changes, the conscious or subconscious mind. For years I’ve
focused strictly on the subconscious mind as the source of completely
making necessary changes for success. In the realm of hypnosis, it’s
always been about the subconscious mind as well. While for the most
part this may be true, I believe that the conscious mind is also an
important ingredient.
Communication to the subconscious mind takes place through the
conscious part of the mind. This is especially true in self-hypnosis
when the conscious mind is completely engaged in accessing the
subconscious mind. Both work as a team of a sorts to help produce
changes in habits, attitude, success actions and so forth.
Most of your actions and behavior is a result of subconscious control
since it is estimated that it’s 88% of your mental power. The
conscious mind is approximately 12%. Between the conscious and
subconscious mind is the critical factor.
As long as we disengage the critical factor, the conscious mind works
wonderfully with the subconscious mind. It’s not about making
affirmations or using willpower either. Neither is effective in
influencing the subconscious mind. Both are strictly a conscious
mechanism. Only through a relaxed state of consciousness do we have an
open door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. That is
one of the reasons hypnosis is so effective.
Deep emotions also gain access to the subconscious mind. Except when
there is no conscious control at that point, anything can get into it
and have an affect – positive or negative. We see this in politics,
religion and even sports. Cults are excellent at opening up the
subconscious mind and installing whatever they want to in order to gain
followers. They may come across as positive at the beginning and then
once they have you hooked, they will start to control you in ways you
would never have thought possible.
You want a strong critical factor in order not to be controlled by
forces like a cult. Still, you also want to access your subconscious
mind in order to make changes that will help you become more successful
in whatever endeavor you engage in. If its losing unhealthy weight and
you’ve always had trouble, then the conscious-subconscious connection
can help you to lose it by changing your actions and behavior.
Tips on helping you use the conscious-subconscious connection effectively:
- Relax when doing any type of affirmation and only after a hypnosis session. Affirmations are strictly a reinforcement process.
- Write down the changes that you seek as if they already have occurred.
- Teach others what you seek to change in yourself. You see, the subconscious mind will be forced to change its beliefs due to seeking compatibility in what you tell others.
- Take immediate action on what you want changes in. Whenever I work with clients, I will do both a hypnosis and coaching session. The coaching session is the action part of it. Each of my clients have to practice via homework assignments.
Changes can happen and you have to be willing to let it happen. When
you do that and allow access to your subconscious mind, then it will
happen. Whether you learn how to do it or having a qualified expert
help you, that is ultimately up to you. Just realize that you have to
want it. Your actions that you are doing now let’s me know what is
happening at the subconscious level.
Now, get out and start using the conscious-subconscious connection to make subconscious changes for success.
