The law of attraction and your subconscious mind are interwoven. Without harnessing the power of your subconscious mind, it’s going to be much more difficult to manifest what you really want.
Unless you can get your subconscious mind and your conscious mind working together as a team, they will often work against each other; creating opposing forces in different directions.
In Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich, he uses the analogy of a garden to represent the subconscious mind: “In which weeds will grow in abundance unless seeds of a more desirable nature are planted therein.”
The “seeds” are the thoughts which are “permitted to remain in the conscious mind”. These are the thoughts we give energy to on a consistent basis. If they are not carefully chosen, they will create a negative belief or idea which will not have the desired outcome. Complaining, moaning and giving attention to lack and disappointment are examples of negative thoughts.
Ideally, we should give more attention to those things we want to encourage into our experience and less on those things we don’t want. What are you saying yes to and what are you saying “no” to. Which has the greatest emotional attachment to it? These can be clues as to what you’re currently giving attention to in your conscious awareness. See how to apply the law of attraction effectively.
Law Of Attraction – Subconscious Mind
The subconscious mind is influenced by many things. Stories from your past influence it, your thoughts and words influence it. But mostly it is the language of emotions which most influences the subconscious mind. Think of a dream. Dreams don’t talk in words, they talk in pictures and feelings. Dreams are the communication of your subconscious mind during sleep. So if we want to communicate a message to the subconscious mind, we need to use the language of emotion.
Thoughts become things more quickly when they are charged with emotion. So if you’re giving a lot of thought to your bills, the debt you’re in, and problems and difficulties in your life, you create a lot of emotion around these thoughts. Before long more and more comes. As your life fills up with negativity you get all the more emotional about it! It’s a vicious circle!
Law Of Attraction Subconscious Mind & Deliberate Creation
To use the law of attraction and your subconscious mind, you need to do the opposite of this example. Focus on money coming in a large amounts. Focus on living in abundance. Think of all the events and circumstances you would love to attract into your life. Don’t get focused on the “how” or worry about what you need to do.
This brings you back to the lower vibration of worry and scarcity. Just enjoy thinking about living your best life. Get good at playing it out in your mind, whatever you want to create. Spend more time in this space than in worry, scarcity and dread! Eventually you’ll want to eliminate your thoughts of a lower vibration which halt the progress of all the good things lining up for you.
Conflicting Intentions
Using the law of attraction and the subconscious mind deliberately requires some introspection. Without looking within, we can miss the obvious conflicts which are lying in our conscious and unconscious mind. For example, how many times do we talk ourselves down, speak against our dearest wishes and decide what we really want is “too good to be true”?
Our thoughts, words and deeds must be in alignment to bring about our dearest wishes. If we spend some time visualising our biggest dream, but then contradict in when we talk about it, we are cutting our intention off before the seed even starts to grow. (see law of attraction visualisation).
Likewise if we are focusing on lack or limitation, or distracted with unpleasant visualisations, conflict or drama, we are creating unconsciously, or drawing circumstances and situations into our lives which we don’t really want.
Self Love & The Subconscious Mind
The subconscious mind responds to emotions. If we lack self love, or treat ourselves poorly, this sends a clear signal to the subconscious that we don’t feel worthy enough. Self love is therefore a pretty important part of influencing the subconscious mind, which understands emotions and feelings better than words or thoughts.
So, if you’re trying to influence your subconscious mind to improve your life, one of the best things you can do is concentrate on loving yourself. Not in an egotistical way, but in a deep soulful way. See my article on what is Ho’oponopono process.
Self Image And The Law Of Attraction
Self image has a huge amount to do with the law of attraction too. If your self image doesn’t allow it, it’s hard to create an outcome in life even if you really want it. To change your self image takes some time. It’s a major part of your identity and is tied into self love too. Checkout a book called Psycho-cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who discovered that many patients still had problems after plastic surgery. He helped some of them change their self image before surgery and they discovered that they no longer needed it.
