Mind Body CONNECTION

 Everything that runs through our mind has the ability to strengthen or weaken our body!!

For example, you think of something that makes you feel good, and you feel good…. you think of something that makes you feel bad and….. yep you guessed it…you feel bad. Both thoughts are a creation of the mind which you did all by yourself, because whatever you think, your body follows.

From those experiences in life you store in your unconscious memory, not only visual memories but also your senses, such as tastes, touch, sounds and smells. Your past experiences and the emotions, dictate how you see the world and how you react to everything in your life.

 Is the cause of all problems.

Perception is what determines one person’s experience of an event from another’s. Two people may experience exactly the same circumstances or event, but have opposite reactions and responses. They may both experience the same “problem” and one may feel stressed while the other feels calm – or may not even notice it. The difference? The references each of them holds in the subconscious.

 ​The subconscious runs the brain and body. It is why we’re able to do so many things on “automatic”. Every function of the body and brain; most of the tasks we perform throughout the day; and our automatic responses to stimuli are all dictated and controlled by the subconscious. The conscious mind cannot handle a fraction of these functions on its own; it is the subconscious that has the capacity to control and maintain all of this – and much more. 

 The conscious and subconscious work in very different ways. While the conscious mind uses logic and reason, the subconscious is unable to use reason or logic. The job of the conscious mind is to make sense of stimuli, while the role of the subconscious is to keep us alive and safe. The conscious mind has the ability to argue, strategize, theorize, and negotiate – all skills that are needed when making sense of experiences. The subconscious, on the other hand, is programmed. It does not have the ability to judge right or wrong; to negotiate; to “think” – it runs true to its programming, based on the “proof” and “evidence” it holds, in the form of memories.

In other words, if the subconscious contains a memory of a parent expressing disgust with wealthy people, it could refer to that memory as “proof” that it is not safe to be wealthy. And since it is the role of the subconscious to keep us safe, it will do whatever it takes to keep us from that perceived “danger”.

This means that no matter how much we consciously try to change what we believe, the decisions we make, and the actions we take, as long as the subconscious contains this “proof” that what we want is dangerous, we will never get beyond a certain point.

 From birth, every experience is interpreted and given meaning by the subconscious, and then that information is filed (in the form of memories). Every new experience is filtered through that existing information, and the meaning filed – added to that existing data. This is how the subconscious forms structures that support who we are, and how the world works. This is how we learn, on automatic, how to be in the world and how to respond to stimuli.
