Before I begin on the sub-conscious mind, I would like to thank all my friends, colleagues and well-wishers who have been spreading the word about my blog and sending in so many hits. Keep visiting and commenting and I promise I won't stop posting. ;-)
Today I
would like to put some light on that part of mind which is always in the dark.
It is that secret vault that, when unlocked, can turn an ordinary mind into an
extra-ordinary mind and an ordinary life into an extra-ordinary life. If you
study the lives of the greats, the idols who have walked on this planet, you
will find one common factor which contributed to their success. This common
factor was their mastery over their sub-conscious mind. Have no doubt- the key
to eternal and lasting success in this world is unlocking the powers of your
sub-conscious mind.
You must
have often heard- the mind has immense potential, an average human mind uses
not even 10% of it’s potential and such other assertions. Those assertions are
indeed true. Today, several mind power trainers claim to have devised specialized
training programmes. Anybody who undergoes this training will be able to unlock
the unused potential of the mind – goes the refrain. Some do succeed to a
certain extent and do unlock certain areas of the minds. However, they are
missing the leaves in counting the trees.
True
potential of any individual can be unlocked only by discovering the
sub-conscious mind. This is a highly
personal journey. You may have at your disposal all the trainers and aids of
the world. However, to discover the sub-conscious mind is possible only by you
yourself. Nobody else can do this for you. So what exactly is the Sub-Conscious
mind? It is that part of the human brain which is not normally available to the
conscious mind. The question arises -then who is it available to normally? Any
Guesses? Of course- THE SOUL! Doesn’t it
make sense? It is that secret doorway through which our body is in constant
touch with the Universe, the Super-conscious, the White light. Our
Sub-conscious is the gateway to greater consciousness. And who else but our
soul would link us to this repository of the entire knowledge of the world. Our
sub- conscious is that hidden channel in our mind which connects our body to
the soul and is thus directly linked through the soul to the super-conscious.
In the heavenly
scheme of things, there is a reason that one normally can not tap into his or
her sub-conscious mind as easily as one can into the conscious mind. The reason
why one doesn’t have access to the subconscious mind on a regular basis is that
we as humans can only handle so much information at a time. Every life is
unique and should be led uniquely and not be affected by our earlier lives.
However, the information of our earlier lives is always present in the
sub-conscious mind. A trained hypnotist can easily uncover our past lives using
the Past Life Regression Therapy(PLRT). For those unaware about PLRT, it is a
proven method by which a trained practitioner can lead you back to remember
your past lives and important events. Dr. Brian Weiss, a renowned psychiatrist is a well known exponent of PLRT and has
written several books on the subject. He used PLRT to help his patients recover
from past life traumas which were affecting their present lives. I know it
sounds like a lot of hocus pocus but if you will just google PLRT, you will
find that a lot of respected
practitioners of psychology are today using PLRT to treat their patients. And
the results speak about the efficacy and authenticity of this. We will talk more
about PLRT in future blogs.
So how do
we get to tap into our sub-conscious mind? The answer is meditation. What is
meditation? It is attuning your mind so that it is in synchronization with the
Universal Energy. Theories of physics like Quantum Theory has proved that every
particle that has mass vibrates at a certain frequency. This frequency can be
changed by applying energy to that particle. When we meditate, we are
consciously trying to match the frequency of our brain waves with that of the
Universe. I mentioned Alpha waves before. Actually, our brain has five types of
waves:
1. Alpha
2. Beta
3. Gamma
4. Theta
5. Delta
The modern
science can measure these waves. Just pick up any EEG (Electro Encephalography)
Report to find out about them. When you are meditating , your brain generates
Alpha, Theta or Delta waves depending upon the power and intensity of
meditation. The East has always placed great emphasis on the powers of
meditation for bringing about awareness or awakening of the soul. As you
increase your power and concentration of meditation, you start getting more and
more in touch with your soul, eventually setting off on the path of
self-realization.
We shall
continue with the topic of Subconscious mind in the next blog too…
