The term "subconsciousness" refers to processes that take place outside the conscious control of a person. Scientists began active research in the middle of the last century, hoping to use it for practical purposes. Huge funds were spent on the study, but it was not possible to fully penetrate the secrets of the subconscious.
Even in the last century, scientists have established that the subconscious mind stores a huge amount of information. Everything that a person has ever seen or heard is deposited in him and can be extracted - for example, with the help of hypnosis. A characteristic feature of the subconscious is that it notices even those things to which a person does not pay any attention. For example, walking on the sidewalk, you do not notice the license plates of the cars standing on the side of the road, you just do not need it. But the subconscious mind fixes them with absolute precision, nothing ever escapes from it. That is why the law enforcement agencies became interested in working with him, first of all. Under hypnosis, a person could remember the smallest nuances of a situation, which often helped in solving crimes.
Some researchers quite rightly state that the subconscious mind can do almost anything. A number of human problems are associated with him, it is no coincidence that psychologists pay so much attention to working with the subconscious. It is this that is responsible for many diseases: in order to be healed, it is enough to convince the subconscious mind that you are healthy. But this is precisely the most difficult task, since it is very difficult for the subconscious to inspire something. A typical example of the use of the power of the subconscious is the placebo method - a person is given dummy pills instead of a real medicine, and he heals, because he believes in the power of the drug.
There are cases when in a critical situation people showed unthinkable strength. A decrepit old woman during a fire pulled out a chest with things, which then with difficulty several men were able to lift. The woman turned over a passenger car, under which her son was. There are many such examples, and they all say that a person does not use his capabilities to the fullest. The way to mastering hidden abilities lies precisely through working with the subconscious.
One of the well-known ways to influence the subconscious is the use of affirmations. The method consists in pronouncing aloud or mentally phrases aimed at achieving a particular goal. Affirmations always sound positive - for example, “I am getting younger every day”, “I am in complete harmony with people and the world”, “Life is beautiful and amazing”, etc. etc. All statements should describe the situation that you want to see. The options "I will be completely healthy" or "I am not sick" are incorrect, it should be "I am absolutely healthy."
The use of affirmations can help in many situations, but in general the efficiency of this technique is quite low. The main reason is the barriers of the mind on the way to the subconscious, preventing it from being convinced of anything. One way to remove barriers is hypnosis. A well-known classic example is when the hands of a person under hypnosis touch a pencil, while they say that it is a lighted cigarette. A blister immediately appears on the hand, since the subconscious mind believes direct suggestion. Under hypnosis, a person can be convinced that he is a genius poet, and he will immediately begin to compose wonderful poems. Tell him that he is an artist and he can paint a beautiful picture. Everything that the subconscious believes in becomes reality.
