It is simply amazing to think about what our mind is capable of. Did you know that approx? 6,0000 thoughts cross a human mind every day? Your mind is constantly processing information and helping you make decisions. It is currently helping you understand what you are reading! But did you know that your brain has different states of consciousness?
Oftentimes, you are attentive and make decisions with your conscious mind. Sometimes, you react suddenly, get lost in a memory, or even dream while asleep. This is the work of your subconscious mind.
States of Mind Consciousness
- Conscious mind
If you are aware of what you are thinking, then it is the work of your conscious mind. It consists of what you know at any given point in time. Your conscious mind includes the thought process going on in your mind right now.
- Subconscious mind
Your subconscious or pre-conscious mind is where dreams are born. It is a storehouse of memories. It stores all the thoughts, experiences, and impressions you have gone through in your life. The past experiences living in your subconscious mind influence your present thoughts and behavior more than you realize.
- Unconscious mind
The third and last level is the unconscious mind. It holds thoughts, memories, and instinctive desires that are beyond your conscious awareness. These are memories that you are not aware of but still have an impact on your behavior.
- Superconscious mind
Quantum physics tells us that nothing in this Universe is solid. If that is the case, then no matter how tiny each & every atom, molecule or particle is, there must be space between everything. And if so, then life is more of an energy flow than a collection of solid things.
- The superconscious mind encompasses a level of awareness that sees beyond material reality and taps into the energy and consciousness behind that reality. Some refer to this as the “ether” – the essence of the universe – a flow of electromagnetic waves that permeate all matter and space. I refer to it as “the space between our thoughts”.
- The superconscious is where true creativity is found. Expressions of this kind of creativity are distinctive from those that come from the subconscious. The superconscious is where ideas for truly great works of art, music, prose, poetry, great scientific discoveries, and deep spiritual experiences are found. Profound healing of ailments can also take place in this state.
If we have a really good meditation and feel “fully calm”, then we are beginning to experience a level of superconsciousness. As we go deeper in meditation and experience a deepening peace, calmness, divine love, and even bliss, then we are experiencing deeper levels of the superconscious. Einstein described this as the “mystic emotion” – the finest emotion of which we are capable.
Have you ever wondered just how the subconscious can heal the body? If you are like most people, you have and you haven’t even begun to explore this fascinating topic of the mind and body. It is important to begin early with any medical treatment because if left untreated it can do more damage than any other ailment. Let’s examine how the subconscious and medical treatments may work together to help your mind and body reach optimum health.
The subconscious has the power to cure illness in your body and your mind. However, it is very difficult for the subconscious to make a direct connection between the health problems and the subconscious causes. The subconscious has to work with your conscious mind to find the connection and provide solutions to the problems you have.
The subconscious has been called the “superhuman” organ because of its amazing powers. It seems that the subconscious can heal almost any physical or mental illness. The truth is it is extremely difficult to find any illnesses or physical problems in the “subconscious.” The reason for this is that we don’t have access to the subconscious at the level where the subconscious works.
The subconscious has a large part in determining your health. If your thoughts are negative, your body will reflect that as well as the way you feel. This means if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will develop negativity and an illness that requires medical attention. The subconscious connection between your mind and your body is like a giant switchboard that is constantly ringing, “loading up,” “ready to talk,” or “waiting to see you.” The subconscious can be very helpful in helping you understand your illness and the physical symptoms you are feeling.
The subconscious can help you heal your illness by connecting with your higher self or your spirit guides. It is often difficult for those who go through major life changes to realize they are not actually sick, or that something is not wrong. The subconscious can help you realize that the problem is not with you but within yourself. By tapping into your higher self, the subconscious can guide you back to awareness of the situation at hand. You can then learn how to change the energy within yourself by releasing the energy of worry, fear, anger, and sadness. By changing your energy, you can change the energy of the people around you, too.
Holistic health and wellness mean being connected to the rest of your body, including your emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical systems.
When you connect with your subconscious, you open up many alternate pathways for your mind to take. One of those pathways may lead you back to healing your body. If your mind believes it is suffering from a disease, your body will react as though the disease is present. Your body, in turn, will act as if it has contracted a disease. This reaction is only temporary, however, as soon as you learn how to release the tension that is keeping you stuck in worry and fear, your mind will eventually release the negative energy that is keeping you from reaching enlightenment.
Focus on your breathing, and how it feels as it comes into contact with your body. As your mind becomes attuned to your breath, you can begin to connect to your subconscious to help you learn how to release the energy locked in your mind.
