Our Brain is a powerful tool. But remember it is only a tool and not US. Consciousness and Subconsciousness are both parts of our brain. One is governed by our mind and others by the infinite intelligence or soul.
What Is Conscious Mind?
“The state of being aware of and responsive to one’s surroundings.”
“A person’s awareness or perception of something.”
“The fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world.”
The Oxford Living Dictionary
In a state of consciousness, one can think, have thought. When you have the ability to interpret a certain situation and examine it and eventually judge it as good or bad on the basis of your evaluation is all part of your conscious brain. The conscious brain is smart and ever alert.
It is the adult in your head. It is ever scary and prepares you for any future harm that you might encounter. It tries to form an illusive protective shield of thought or rather predictions and prepares you mentally for any dance you may or may not encounter. It is your guardian.
But there are drawbacks of this conscious brain. It gets so busy in building these stories that “what if…”, that it begins to suck the life out of your life.
In other words, you begin to live in a “psychological time” rather than enjoying the present moment.
What Is The Subconscious Mind?
“The part of your mind that contains feelings that you are not aware of.”
The Oxford Living Dictionary
The subconscious mind is a data-bank for everything, which is not in your conscious mind. It stores your beliefs, your previous experience, your memories, your skills.
Everything that you have seen, done, or thought about is also there. Your subconscious mind is an autopilot program programmed from your very birth. It takes over your bodily functions and runs the programs that we call ‘habits’ to play out our lives smoothly.
Have you ever dialed a phone number when you didn’t have to remember the number but your fingers simply knew where to touch to dial it? Or when you use the keyboard, how your finger already know where to press for a certain alphabet?
All this is stored in the subconscious mind.
We have programmed it to make our lives easy. But what happens when we have a negative stream of thoughts flowing through the conscious mind?
Even THOSE thoughts get implanted in our subconscious mind and fiddles with our positive frequency.
