The  Magic  of  Our  Subconscious  Mind

By  S.K.Sengupta , Director , Dare to Win

Want to possess the Magic-lamp of Aladin ? It’s in your pocket , just learn to use it . Moonshine ? ! No . The genie dwells in your subconscious mind .

Yeah , like the Magic-lamp of Aladin , our subconscious mind can bring to life whatever we want . It doesn’t judge . Demand smiles , health , car and bungalow , and it will lift and carry us to that . What happens if we opt for tears , disease , and poverty ? That is what will land on us . Subconscious mind determines our destiny !

If our destiny is determined by our subconscious mind , and if we can ask it to produce whatever we want , then all of us should be blooming in joy .  Yes . But , unfortunately , many of us do not know how to awake and instruct this powerful genie . The method is simple . It takes time and continuous repetition in conscious mind before any message can enter the subconscious mind and begin to influence it . More the repetition , deeper the influence . More vividly we visualize what we want , more we whip up our passion for it , faster will be the response that will arise from this sleeping giant within us .

If we have understood the foregoing , we will also realize how we consciously or unconsciously use or misuse this towering power with which God has blessed us . Are you always smiling , believe that ‘ golden days are here again ’ , and mix with happy people ? Your continuous thoughts of cheer will reach your subconscious mind . It will hear you asking : “ I want happiness ” , and it will produce further joy in abundance . The principle also works in the reverse gear . Cherish tearful thoughts for some time ; soon subconscious mind will catch on , and you will be wallowing in misery .

Our subconscious mind will manifest in our lives our own predominant thoughts . Take a minute . Why don’t you read this sentence once again ? Pocket this principle securely and utilize it to have a sunny and meaningful life . You can do more . Have you heard of Dynamic Meditation , Creative Visualization , Neuro-linguistic Programming , Autosuggestion and Self-hypnosis ? These are dynamic modern methods of powerfully influencing our own subconscious mind with our own thoughts . To begin with , this easy system may be observed . Close your eyes . Visualize vividly that you are receiving what you want , in colour , in three dimension , and feel the joy and buoyant emotions . Pack it with passion . Repeat this exercise again and again , day and night , with belief that you will soon have whatever you  want . Back it up with goal-oriented physical action . And refuse to throw up your cards ! That is all that goes to make fairy-tale success-stories .

May I repeat what I said in the beginning ? The Magic-lamp of Aladin is not just a fable . All of us are Aladin , we all have our genie , and everyone of us can create his own magic . The magic of our own subconscious mind !
