Chapter XIII: IN TOUCH WITH SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND.

You've probably heard the phrase "mind over matter." This chapter dives into the science behind that idea, exploring the amazing power of your subconscious mind and its ability to shape your reality. Think of it as your inner powerhouse, a force capable of creating your dreams and manifesting your desires.

But how do you tap into this hidden potential? The key is understanding that your subconscious mind operates on a different level than your conscious mind. It's less concerned with the details of your daily life and more focused on the bigger picture: your core beliefs, values, and desires. To connect with it, you need to step out of the "noise" of your conscious mind and find a way to communicate with this deeper level of your being.

Imagine you're using a meditation app. As you focus on your breath, your conscious mind quiets down, and you start to connect with a deeper sense of peace and clarity. That's your subconscious mind emerging, ready to receive your guidance.

Now, think about your goals. Let's say you want to land a dream job. Instead of just focusing on the practical steps – updating your resume, applying for jobs, etc. – you can also tap into the power of your subconscious mind. Visualize yourself already in that role, feeling confident and fulfilled. Imagine yourself succeeding, not just in the practical sense, but also in the emotional and mental sense. By doing this, you're sending a powerful message to your subconscious mind, letting it know that this is your intention.

This principle applies not just to personal goals but also to the way you view the world. Your subconscious mind is constantly processing information and shaping your reality based on your beliefs. If you believe in scarcity and limitations, you'll likely experience more of that in your life. But if you open your mind to possibilities and embrace an abundance mindset, you'll attract more positive experiences and opportunities.

So, how do you cultivate a positive mindset and align your subconscious mind with your desires? Here are a few practical strategies:

• Meditation and Mindfulness: Regularly engaging in meditation or mindfulness practices can help you quiet your conscious mind and connect with your subconscious.
• Visualization: Spending time visualizing your desired outcomes can program your subconscious mind for success. Imagine yourself already living your dream life, experiencing the emotions and sensations that come with achieving your goals.
• Affirmations: Repeating positive affirmations can reprogram your subconscious mind with new beliefs and values.
• Intention Setting: Start your day by setting clear intentions for what you want to achieve. Focus on the feeling of achieving your goals, not just the practical steps.

As you consistently practice these techniques, you'll find that your subconscious mind becomes a powerful ally in your life, helping you manifest your dreams and create a reality that aligns with your deepest desires.

Remember, you have the power to shape your reality. Your thoughts and beliefs are not just mental constructs, they are powerful forces that can influence your life in profound ways. By learning to connect with your subconscious mind and aligning your intentions with the Universal Mind, you unlock the potential for a more fulfilling and joyful existence.

EXERCISE: CONNECTING WITH YOUR INNER POWERHOUSE

1. Find a quiet space: Find a place where you can relax and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

2. Focus on your breath: As you breathe in, imagine you're drawing in energy from the Universe. As you breathe out, imagine you're releasing any tension or stress.

3. Visualize your goal: Now, bring to mind a specific goal you'd like to achieve. Maybe it's landing a new job, improving your health, or finding a loving relationship. Visualize yourself already achieving this goal. See yourself in detail, feeling the emotions that come with success.

4. Communicate with your subconscious mind: Imagine your subconscious mind as a wise and loving guide. Tell it about your goal. Ask it to support you in achieving it. Trust that your subconscious mind is working on your behalf, even when you're not consciously thinking about it.

5. Affirm your goal: Repeat a positive affirmation about your goal. For example, "I am attracting my dream job." "I am healthy and strong." "I am in a loving and supportive relationship."

6. Feel the success: Focus on the feeling of achieving your goal. Imagine how you'll feel when you succeed. Let yourself experience those feelings fully.

7. End the exercise: When you're ready, gently open your eyes and return to the present moment. Keep your goal in mind and trust that your subconscious mind is working to bring it into reality.

Repeat this exercise regularly, and you'll find that your subconscious mind becomes a powerful ally in your journey toward your dreams.
