If you want to learn the true art of mind power then it is of the greatest importance you understand 2 functions of your mind, and also how they interact with each other …
You only possess one mind, but it has 2 totally different functions – and the names generally used to distinguish these 2 different functions are as follows.
1, The Conscious Mind
2, The Subconscious Mind
Your subconscious mind does not only store your feelings and memories. It is the maker of all the great ideas you have ever had, and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness …
The above are only two instances (of how the subconscious mind stores up relations of learned behavior) and we are sure you would be able to find many more examples of this in your everyday life!
Not only is this memory stored as the incident itself, but also any feelings that went with it at the time are also stored.
- Your subconscious mind being the roots; it deals mostly with the repetitions of learned behavior. This can be very helpful for you, as it enables you to deal with situations much more easily the next time they arise.
Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, feel or touch passes through the conscious mind and reaches the subconscious mind where it is stored.
When we think of ‘me’, we think of our conscious mind, the mind of which we are fully aware. This part of the mind makes decisions for us and directs our activities; it also analyzes, criticizes and even commands us.
To help us better understand the conscious and subconscious mind, they may be compared to a tree and its roots …
There are many other terms used. The 2 listed above, are the ones used most to represent the 2 main functions of your mind.
It also scans your mind for conflict and distress; assesses your environment for danger and threats, and relays and interprets perceptions, sensations, and feeling … last but not least it is also the storehouse of all your experience and decisions – everything which makes you the person you are.
Information from the conscious mind gets past into the subconscious mind, and there is a very strong link between the two. It is said that everything you have ever seen, heard and experienced is perceived by your conscious mind, and then stored away into your subconscious mind as a memory.
Because you are using information which is already stored, once you have learned how best to deal with the situation you find it much easier the next time around … this is.
- You’re conscious mind being the tree, which helps you with daily situations like, decision-making, rational thinking, or just simply figuring out what to do and how best to do it.
Your subconscious also keeps you going without you even being aware of it. It takes care of your bodily functions – your heart beat, and automatically runs such activities as, movement, language, visual perception and a whole host of other processes of your mind and body for you.
Just as if you were to learn where each letter on your keyboard is – you can now type without looking because you have formed a mental picture in your subconscious mind, of what the keyboard actually looks like.
Once you have learned to ride a bike you don’t have to consciously think about it anymore. Because the stored information will come to you automatically the next time you get on your bike to ride it, this is.
