Seven Traits of the Subconscious

March 8, 2010 | 5 Comments

Here I would list out seven traits of the subconscious so that you can have a better understanding of what and how the subconscious works. Besides knowing this can make you utilize the amazing power of the subconscious. You might have already known some of them as they were once mentioned in lesson 101.

 

  1. It works day and night. Part of the functions of the subconscious is to maintain life’s vitality and hence, it could never retire or else you will retire forever. It keeps the heart pumping, monitoring blood circulating, performing body healing, digestion mechanism, and lots more. The subconscious even becomes more powerful when you are asleep. That’s why it is not advisable to let the TV on when you are asleep. Imagine what will you get when the TV is showing violence.  
     
  2. Problem Solving. Subconscious might not possess the ability to think and reason but inevitably, it solves much problem than the conscious mind. This is due to its ability to connect with the super conscious mind to search for solution. Believe me, there is at least a solution for every problem and you might not know where to look for but your subconscious mind does. Napoleon Hill called it as the ‘connecting link’ between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence (this term was made popular by Mr. Hill).
     
  3. It functions voluntarily.  It doesn’t matter whether you make any effort to influence the subconscious or not because it is always open for suggestion. Its receptive mode is always ON and the only thing that makes the difference is either you do the influencing or let’s other people or thing to do it. By default, the psychology or mindset of the masses is always toward the negative and this suggests to you that the thoughts of fear and poverty serve as the stimuli to your subconscious. The only way to shield yourself from this negativity is to constantly feed yourself with positive thoughts and energy.  Read more

Brainwave Entrainment for Better Mind Power

Brainwave Patterns

The brain is made up of approximately 100 billion nerve cells called neurons which communicate with each other twenty-four hours a day using electrical signals. The combination of millions of these neurons sending electrical signals at once produces an enormous of electrical activity in the brain and these electrical discharges can be detected by using EEG technology (Electroencephalography). EEG records this electrical activity as ‘Brain Wave Patterns’ – because of its “wave” and cyclic-like nature.

The presence of these electrical discharges indicates the different states, particular your mental state at a certain time. However, these patterns are not random; they are closely correlated with your emotions, your thoughts, your state of being, and every function of the various systems of your body. In short, the entire quality of your life has something to do with these patterns. It also means that what you do to yourself can influences your brain wave patterns. It’s like a meter that displays the state of your consciousness.

Brainwave patterns can be categorized into four main groups according to the frequency (Hz) range that they are in.

Brainwave Range

  • Beta (13 Hz – 30 Hz) – The normal state of wakeful consciousness; the state you are now while reading this report. High level of Beta is associated with alertness but it could also be linked to anxiety, uneasiness, stress and panic. At the higher end of beta, at around 38 Hz – 70 Hz, the brain will fall into the Gamma.
  • Alpha (8 Hz – 12 Hz) – This is a state of relaxation and self relief. Hypnosis, autosuggestion is done at this level.This state is also known as ‘Accelerated Learning State’ because the brain seems more to be receptive and open to new information, particular suggestion.You normally experience alpha just after you awake and before falling into sleep. It’s the door to the unconscious.
  • Theta (3 Hz – 8 Hz) – A deep state of relaxation. Dreams (REM Sleep) and deep meditations are often associated with theta. Access to the unconscious mind.
  • Delta (0.5 Hz – 3 Hz) – Dreamless or Non-REM sleep. A state of trance and loss of body awareness. Maintaining awareness during theta could enable one to access to the unconscious and super-conscious mind (exp. people like Yogis and Zen monks who have practiced meditation for decades and attained higher consciousness).

We spend some amount of time in each brain state everyday; it is part of life cycle and most likely the state changes according to the activity that we are engaged in. Either it goes up or down.

If you have glanced through the list above carefully, you would have noticed that each brain state plays a different role in maintaining life’s vitality such as relaxation and self-relief, accelerated learning, accessing the unconscious and etc.

Now here’s the ULTIMATE question: what if there’s a possibility that we can train or induce our brain to go into the different brain states at will (anytime) and utilize the power of the brain state possesses?

For example; by inducing your brain into alpha, you can reprogram your subconscious with new beliefs that serve you and drop those that limit you. And in case that if you are not aware, the biggest obstruction that most people face in ‘self-development’ is having to change the past limiting beliefs. They either do not know how to do it or not knowing that beliefs are held in the subconscious, and again, which could be done in alpha; the path that connects the conscious to the subconscious.

Besides, by tapping into the power of the various state of consciousness, you could easily replicate the mind of a genius; think about Einstein’s or Mozart’s.

…the answer lies in Brain Wave Entrainment
