Thus, I began my quest to look for the root cause of my negative thoughts. I spent hours in the library and looked up books on how the mind works and where do negative thoughts come from? Alas, I came across an interesting book titled,“ The Power of the Subconscious Mind.” I jumped right into reading it from start to finish and finally understood what the subconscious mind is.
With this priceless knowledge, I began my journey and started studying hypnotherapy as I finally figured out that the negative thoughts that ubiquitously plagued me, was stemming from the limiting beliefs held in the subconscious mind. I was thrilled. With an intense sense of adrenaline, excitement and purpose, I continued to explore the amazing power of the subconscious mind and how the beliefs held in the subconscious mind were creating my reality whether I liked it or not. I perceived my outer world through the filters of my inner beliefs.
The beliefs were just like computer programs, once installed, they would continue to create our life experiences which would be a match to our beliefs. Hence, in order to create something different in my life, I had to somehow change these limiting beliefs there were entrenched in my subconscious. Understanding this empowered me to actually create what I want as I now knew exactly what was happening within.
We form our beliefs about ourselves and our world, when we are very young, based on our life events and experiences. We also download beliefs from our parents, the culture and the environment we grew up in. Many of our limiting beliefs are unconscious, and these unconscious beliefs are driving our lives. Once I understood how the subconscious beliefs impacted every aspect of our lives, I diligently got down to working on myself, to clear the limiting beliefs and to replace them with new empowering beliefs.
As simple as this may sound, it requires the guidance and assistance of a certified hypnotherapist as this needs to be done in a hypnotic state where a clear channel of communication is made available and we become aware of the unconscious limiting beliefs within us and substitute them for beliefs which strongly support what we want in life. The subconscious now works with us and for us, opening up doors of opportunities to achieve our deepest desires.
