I come across many people who are genuinely trying to make a difference in their lives through conscious application of various personal development principles, yet without much significant success.
When I probe further what I uncover is a gnawing sense of unbelief and lack of self worth that appears to cancel out their best efforts.
The reason why is that the subconscious is like a vast tape machine playing out the embedded messages of our earlier life experiences.
At childhood stage the mind is more impressionable, than in later years.
At the same time the conscious mind remains a small part of the way we process thing.
I have read many teachings that say that whatever you suggest to the subconscious mind, it effectively says 'yes' to.
However if that were so many of us would have talked our way to success much sooner than now.
The experience that tends to play out is that someone consciously tries to affirm something positive to their subconscious mind and what comes back at them from their inner voice is more like 'yeah right!' With that common scenario in mind the question becomes how do we train the subconscious mind to work with the conscious mind.
Here are some thoughts for both aspects: 1.
Anything we expose ourselves to with consistency will shape the mind 2.
Information takes root better when the brain is in the alpha state - the relaxed aware state 3.
Information presented to the subconscious mind on a frequent and regular basis will retrain it.
Much has been written about brain wave entrainment, which has made a powerful contribution to reconditioning the mind.
Brain wave entrainment is a form of sound technology that when listened to in passive mode induces alpha, theta and delta brain wave states.
The value of the alpha state is that it is otherwise known as the relaxed aware state.
When information is presented to the brain in this state, whether at an audible or subliminal level, information takes root more easily.
George Lozanov, an earlier proponent of accelerated learning, conducted extensive experiments round this and was able to demonstrate that when information is presented to the brain, so many beats apart, when the brain is in an alpha state, significant changes happen in learning performance.
Common applications of brain wave entrainment are the use of affirmations on different topics presented to the brain in a less audible way (subliminal), against the background of sound tracks that are designed to induce alpha brain waves.
Other programmes such as the centerpointe programme and the super mind academy programme go beyond alpha brain wave entrainment to encompass theta, delta and gamma brain wave states.
Many of these tracks can be listened to as you go to sleep because the subconscious will still process the information.
When combining subconscious mind training with conscious personal development, powerful shifts can take place as the brain reorganises itself to a higher level of functioning.
I have experienced profound shifts by combining the two strategies, and recommend you use some form of brain wave entrainment on a daily basis.
Frequent and regular daily exposure is more effective than an hour a week.
