The True Power of the Mind Part III: Programming Your Subconscious Mind

Let's look at a practical example of how programming the subconscious mind works. For example, you live in an apartment and want to move into a big house. If you spend time each day thinking about how much you hate your apartment and negatively tell yourself that you will never get out of the apartment, then you won't create the conditions that will allow you to buy that house. You will find seemingly unexpected problems getting in the way of your true desires. Since you've fed your subconscious nothing but negative thoughts then you'll reap the results of that negative thinking.

To take control of your subconscious mind, you need to tell it exactly what you want. Once you do this, and you remain positive about your expectations, your subconscious mind will go straight to work for you. Your subconscious mind does not sleep. Once you activate its power with proper programming it will start working in your life immediately, and around the clock.

In some ways, the subconscious mind is like a computer. It is much more complex than a computer and sometimes works in unknown ways, but it is working. Because of its similarities to a computer, achieving success with the subconscious mind is often called programming. Just like with computers, you have to give the subconscious mind the right program for your success.

How do you program your subconscious mind? There are many methods and you will need to pick which is the most comfortable and successful for you. Many people find success in fervently repeated affirmations. When affirmations are repeated positively each day, they have a programming effect on the subconscious mind. Other people prefer to use guided mediation and other forms of imagery to imprint their subconscious mind with their desires.

Meditation, like affirmations, should be repeated every day for maximum results. Some people find that using hypnosis is the most effective way to program their subconscious mind. Hypnosis allows the hypnotist to program the subconscious mind at very deep levels for success.

Just with physical exercise practices, these programming exercises take effort and commitment. You may find that meditation works great for you while affirmations may not help at all. Hypnosis works well for others, and not for some. Finding what works for your subconscious mind is part of the process.
