Let’s look at how our conscious and subconscious mind work together to allow us to grow, develop and create our life. Our conscious mind is our ‘awareness’; it is our communication centre. It thinks, reasons, calculates, plans, directs all actions of the body, determines results and makes decisions. It is creative, it registers pain, fear, happiness and it sets goals (both long-term and very short-term). In order for the conscious mind to be able to do all these things, it must have a place to pull information from - a storage area. The subconscious mind is our data storage bank. When our conscious mind asks, our subconscious mind gives.

The subconscious mind takes in everything we learn and experience in our lifetime. It begins at birth (some say before birth), soaking up information like a sponge, accumulating data as we grow and experience life. It also begins forming beliefs based on what we learn and what we experience which determines how we react to everything in our life. These beliefs gain both in strength and momentum the older we become.

The subconscious mind does not make choices; it accepts everything, both good and bad, positive and negative. The conscious mind, however, does make choices, almost every minute of our lives. Since everything has its equal and opposite such as day has night, love has hate, prosperity has poverty and on and on, our lives are a matter of choice, our conscious choice. All these conscious choices are made with the information we have amassed in our subconscious mind over our lifetime.

The simple conclusion is that if we are dissatisfied with anything in our lives, we must do something that will work at adding, altering, or changing those beliefs in our subconscious mind...for the quality of your life is directly related to the quality of your thinking.

Minds are like Parachutes ...

They only Function when Open.
