If you’ve ever seen the old movie, ‘Field of Dreams,’ you might remember the saying, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ You have your own field of dreams, and that is your subconscious mind. In this case, ‘If you think it, it will come.’
This came from his subconscious mind power and ended up making him realize he needed to plow over half his crops. Even though he wasn’t sure why his mind was telling him this, he still went with it during one of the roughest parts of his life. By the movies end, he was making more money then he ever even dreamed, which wasn’t his initial reason for building a baseball field in the first place.
If you’re skeptical, don’t worry. A lot of people are. However, let’s take a look at a few examples of just how powerful your mind can be. One of the most obvious is scientific, and actually occurs in the medical field. This particular subconscious mind effect has been documented over and over again. Called the ‘placebo effect,’ it’s most often used when medical trials are underway. One group of patients in the study is given a placebo, which is made of some type of inert substance that has no physical effect. The other group of patients in the study is given the actual drug. Both groups are told what the medication is used for and what it should do for them. Neither group knows whether they’ve gotten the placebo or the actual medication.
Most studies have shown at least some of what is called the ‘placebo effect.’ That is, at least some of the people in the placebo group have shown ‘effects’ from the ‘drug,’ even though they’ve actually gotten a placebo. That is, their subconscious minds decided that they had gotten the drug and produced some of the same benefits and side effects as they were told the actual medication would give them. Simply, these patients believed they had gotten the medication, so their subconscious minds produced the medication’s effects to at least some degree.
In today’s world, doctors have come around to believing the importance of the subconscious mind. Good ways to see it for yourself is by getting a new prescription and wait for your physician to tell you about the side effects. More times than not you’ll be waiting forever because most of them don’t tell you. Why? Well, because you’ll be listening about all the negative aspects to the drug.
What do these two examples above prove? That the power of suggestion AND the power of the subconscious mind will give you a very powerful results. It works in the medical field, and it can work in your everyday life, too. Why can’t you tap into this power and positively change your life? You can, with the power of suggestion; change the way your subconscious mind works by using it to your advantage.
You can use visualization to change the way you see things, too. Visualization is a very simple technique that really, really works. You can do this in a couple of different ways. Number one, close your eyes and visualize in your mind’s eye what you want, seeing it as though it were right there in front of you.
Since everything seems to work with visualization today, we recommend using a physical picture. It could be a new car you took with your camera phone or a new house with you standing in front of it. Whatever the case may be, having that acknowledgement that something could be yours will begin your path to the inner portion of your subconscious mind.
These traits have withstood the test of time and are only being recognized more so today. It’s been thousands of years since ancient religions continuously trained their subconscious mind and opened up the power behind it. Hopefully we will continue to embrace the positive effects it can have on our lives as a society.
A scientific field called quantum physics has shown that matter is no longer solid at the subatomic level and simply becomes pure energy. And, quantum physics has shown that the mind can actually manipulate this energy. In fact, quantum physics has actually proven that the energy itself does not exist UNLESS it is observed.
What does that mean? Matter or energy exists because it is observed, and for no other reason. It is the mind of the observer that makes the matter exist, and not the other way around. In short, matter; and reality itself; is actually a creation of the mind. This is truly ‘subconscious mind power’ at its essence.
There is a huge difference there as you can see and it’s what makes the power of your subconscious mind so wonderful. The person who thinks positive is focusing on the big picture as opposed to the ‘right now.’ However, this is just a small indention of how helpful this can be to changing your life for the better. There is so much out there that we’ve missed as a society that was practiced thousands of years ago.
Wouldn’t you like to give this a try? Change your life just by thinking about it. Harness the power of your subconscious mind and use it to your advantage instead of simply being at its whim. For the next week, visualize or use affirmations to positively change your life and see what happens. Start small at first so that you can prove to yourself that it works, and then ultimately go on to create the life you want; all with the power of your subconscious mind.
