Course information

The subconscious mind is the storehouse of everything that has happened in our life positive or negative and holds every psychic scar of traumatic events that we have been through. This creates our persona, how we see and relate to life, how we react to life and how we experience life. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between fact or fiction and takes everything that it is presented with as fact.

The subconscious mind can be healed from psychic scars and traumatic experiences and our outlook on life can also be healed if we imprint suggestions directly to it without going through the conscious mind. The subconscious mind does not understand language its language is pictures, symbols, feelings, words, and repetition. The conscious mind is the mind that we work through in our daily lives. It is analytical and rational and can choose to accept or reject information presented to it. We need this mind to function in the physical world, however, if it is present it does not allow us to feed any information to the subconscious mind without its approval and consent.

Ancient yoga techniques in Yoga Nidra have been used to withdraw the conscious mind and imprint healing suggestions directly to the subconscious mind. The messages are suggested in the positive as though the suggestion has already occurred as the subconscious takes everything as fact and with frequent repetition, it becomes very powerful and remains there bringing about transformation to the persona, how we see and react to life, and how we experience life.
