Breath and the subconscious mind

The Problem

Upon visiting the doctor, many of us are experiencing problems. However, little do we know that up to 80% of these problems are directly or indirectly caused by stress. We are exposed to stress daily, and the levels of this negative state of mind force our body to collapse, triggering various illnesses and other health issues, some more dangerous than the others.

Thus, the best prevention for any possible disease should start from the mind itself. We need to keep our minds healthy and relaxed. Relaxation is the best way of maintaining your positive spirits and be capable of dealing with all the hardships life tosses before us.

Meditation has been proven to be one of the best techniques used for reducing or completely removing stress. This positive effect happens due to the fact that, while we are meditating, we put our body and mind in a state of deep relaxation. In this state, the subconscious part of our mind opens for suggestions which can later change the way we act in certain situations and, through positive reinforcement, make us more successful and happier in life.

We Have Two Minds

Our personality, our experiences and our own interpretation of the world around us is based upon the fact that we have two different kinds of mind. The first one is the conscious mind, which is in charge of all the daily processes and thoughts we are aware of and capable of controlling. However, this part of our mind is just the tip of the iceberg. About 90% of what we consider our mind is our subconscious mind. This part acts on its own, creating decisions which impact us even though we are not aware of it, nor capable of comprehending it.

Our subconscious mind is a great and unimaginable thing. It listens to our conscious mind and takes orders, being capable only of accepting them and putting them to use. Also, upon imagining things with our conscious mind, our subconscious mind grants us visualization. This way, when you imagine the sour taste of a bright yellow lemon affecting the tip of your senses, you can feel this taste even though there is no lemon present in your mouth. The subconscious mind accepts everything as real. So, if we program it to be more relaxed and control our feelings, making them more positive, we are bound to become a more positive person.

All in all, you are what you think you are. Think positive and lead a relaxed, stress-free life.
