You are what you believe

Renee Singh

We must realise that our own power is limitless. Our subconscious inspires and guides us. It can recall scenes from memory and take us into our future. It actually regulates assimilation and elimination. Our subconscious controls all the vital processes and functions of the body. It has the answer to all the problems. Stress is self created; therefore mastering ourselves is truly in our own hands. Stress looms large on a conscious or subconscious level in our lives. As much as it is the manifestation of our own minds, it is also controlled by it, and we need to understand this.

Source of power

The power of the subconscious is a power that never sleeps or rests. We can discover its miraculous effects by plainly stating to the subconscious before sleeping a specific required accomplishment. Amazingly much to your initial surprise, you will see your desire accomplished. Here is a power putting you in touch with the universal forces. Live in the faith and belief, as to the wisdom of the Universe. This is the power that moves the world

The subconscious is the storehouse from where great artists, musicians and writers draw their inspiration and power; it enables them to produce their great work. Similarly in our lives, stress can be controlled by us too and the subconscious power can be harnessed to keep it at bay.

Mental anaesthesia

Esdaille, a Scottish surgeon, practiced Mental anaesthesia in the 1840s. This was before the modern methods of chemical anaesthesia were used. All the operations performed by him were done under mental anaesthesia. The patients didn’t feel the pain at all. Esdaille suggested to his patients, who were in a hypnotic state, that no pain would be there and no infection would develop. Their minds responded to the suggestion. The suggestion would set in motion the processes needed to fight the dangers of infection.

Impression is expression

We must realise that within us is the power and intelligence that far transcends the intellect. All our positive experiences make us realise the power of our own subconscious mind. Impression is expression. Whatever is impressed on your subconscious mind, manifests as a reality in the outer world.

Create equilibrium

Health, happiness, peace and joy are only possible, when the conscious and subconscious work in peace and harmony together, then there is no sickness and discord happening. Your frustrations in life, which are actually your major cause of stress, are due to unfulfilled desires. Thinking negative generates negative emotions, which in turn manifests as tensions, anxieties, ulcers, skin diseases etc.

Imagine happy solutions

Feel the thrill of your accomplishments beforehand. Whatever you imagine and feel is accepted by your subconscious mind, and it creates a parallel reality. We can affirm “I believe that my subconscious desires are fulfilling through me”. This will put you on the road to happiness.
