Is it possible to access the contents of your subconscious mind<\/a>? How does your conscious mind interfere with your ability to access the subconscious<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your subconscious mind is more accessible when you\u2019re relaxed or asleep because your conscious mind is not interfering. When you’re awake and alert, you can\u2019t help but think about and judge everything around you, blocking your access to the subconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, you’ll learn how to access your subconscious<\/a> mind through relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Practice Relaxation <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/a><\/em>, Joseph Murphy explains how to access your subconscious mind by toning down the activity in your conscious mind. Murphy argues that when you practice relaxation, you lull your conscious mind to sleep and have direct access to your subconscious mind. To illustrate how this works, Murphy touches upon how hypnotists induce their subjects into a relaxed state before they make suggestions\u2014by preventing their subjects\u2019 conscious minds from interfering, they ensure that their subjects will follow through with their suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a hypnotist can make someone believe that a carrot is a chili pepper. When the person eats the carrot, she\u2019ll react in the same way that she would if she had actually taken a bite out of a chili pepper\u2014she\u2019ll turn red in the face and desperately seek water to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth. She believes that the carrot is a chili pepper because her conscious mind isn\u2019t interfering and arguing against the hypnotist\u2019s suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypnotism Encourages Your Conscious Mind to Detach From Your Experience<\/strong>

In Psycho-Cybernetics<\/em><\/a>, Maxwell Maltz also draws on the practice of hypnotism to argue that relaxation encourages your subconscious mind to accept new ideas. According to Maltz, your subconscious mind doesn\u2019t know the difference between imagination and reality<\/strong>\u2014it can only react (by creating changes in your nervous system) to what you imagine<\/em> to be true. 

When your conscious mind is alert, your thoughts help your subconscious mind distinguish fact from fiction. For instance, in the example above, your conscious mind would step in and tell you that you\u2019re eating a carrot. As a result, your subconscious mind would not cause your nervous system to heat up. But, by inducing your conscious mind into a state of complete relaxation, hypnotists take advantage of your subconscious mind\u2019s inability to distinguish between imagination and reality. 

However, hypnotists don\u2019t have complete control over you when you\u2019re in this relaxed state. According to studies, the relaxation method hypnotists employ doesn\u2019t cause your conscious mind to fall asleep. Instead, it encourages you to feel detached from your experiences<\/a>. As a result of this detachment, your conscious mind disassociates from any problems or concerns and serves merely as a witness to the events that take place. In other words, your conscious mind is aware of what\u2019s going on but doesn\u2019t feel involved in the experience. Consequently, it doesn\u2019t feel the need to interfere with thoughts that disrupt the experience.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Set Intentions Before You Sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since your subconscious mind is more receptive to your thoughts when your conscious mind is relaxed, Murphy recommends that you make the habit of thinking about what you want before you go to sleep. In addition, if you have problems that need solving, instruct your subconscious mind to come up with solutions while you sleep. According to Murphy, your subconscious mind will provide these solutions to you in the form of urges and inspiration when you awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Deep Work<\/em><\/a>, Cal Newport backs up Murphy\u2019s idea that sleep and relaxation help you to find solutions. Newport discusses the benefits of \u201cproductive meditation\u201d\u2014using your relaxation time as a constructive way to solve problems. He suggests that you\u2019re more likely to do your best work when you alternate between periods of intense focus and relaxation. While you\u2019re relaxing, your mind will work through the problems you\u2019ve lined up for it and, without your conscious interference<\/em>, can more quickly or creatively arrive at a solution.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pray for What You Want<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Murphy claims that prayer is also an effective way to bypass your conscious mind to communicate your new thoughts directly to your subconscious mind. This is because he views prayer as a form of relaxation\u2014he believes that your focus on what you\u2019re praying for induces you into a relaxed state and silences your conscious mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murphy suggests a simple prayer: Say specific words to generate the feeling of what you want. For example, you might talk about wealth, love, success, or health. These words allow you to avoid conflict<\/a> in your conscious mind because you\u2019re not giving it anything to question or contradict\u2014instead of affirming that you are wealthy or healthy<\/em>, you\u2019re simply saying words that allow you to focus on what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: A recent study into the effect of mantras confirms that repeating a single word stops your mind from wandering<\/a>. Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine the brain blood flow patterns of people who silently repeated a single word. The imaging showed a reduction of activity across the brain<\/strong>, primarily in the area of the brain<\/a> that gives rise to internal thoughts\u2014this is the area that generates your self-critical thoughts. So, while there isn\u2019t any evidence to support the argument that repeating the word \u201cwealth\u201d will make you wealthy, there is proof that it will calm down your internal dialogue<\/a> which will<\/em> benefit you.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
