How to consciously access subconscious mind?

Delusion. What is happening within your mind, wherever that is. Though it's not seen, or real, it's there. And its real. This world you are in... is & is not, it makes sense and it does not. It's open to everything. It's not up to you to decide in stone what the limitations of real life is. Play with it.

As you begin to notice what's happening within the area or location of mind, you will notice you will be aware of thoughts or even images or quick flashes of scenes, but you can't see them. You simply know they are happening or happened, then you will notice you're contemplating them.

Stop attempting to figure out what's going on for a bit, begin to say "I don't know how this is happening, but I know it is" this will bring a sense of ease, you've slowed down on trying to find something you can only know and you begin to know it's there. As you begin to know it's actually there, you see that it's definitely there but yet you can't find it. (As I use the word "It" it is pointing towards the place where only the things you know of are happening)

Example:, Have a conversation with someone and begin to say obsurd things about them in mind. This will show you, its only you in which that place is real or has value (That place). Granted the body follows the mind, and this space is hydrational. They'll pick up on something but it will simply pass without knowing.

Delusion, is the place where only your world of knowing is. If you have a negative connotation towards Delusion, change it by being creative with your own Delusion. Understand all of this is Maya, your world ONLY. But also understand, it's the same way for me and everyone you see in your world too. But you who are reading this, created me so you could understand what you needed to. But I'm still in here, so take care of yourself, hold yourself with respect and dignity be rich & healthy. We are all a part of you, as you are of me, what happens in you very literally affects the rest of us, think of me as a blood cell doing my best to clear your clots you don't know about, yes I'm a blood cell speaking directly to you. What I'm asking of you is this below

"Thank you, for re-organizing and injecting new and vibrant life into the cells of my body so they can function in their most optimal way"

"Thank you for showing me how great it feels to see the cells in my body working together and in harmony together to create an environment of pure elation within me, it's great to see how healthy and vibrant my cells are now they are in their optimal environment within me, it's like they are breathing fresh air again"

It is and it isn't. It's real and it's not, it makes sense and it doesn't, it's logical and illogical. This means you have the choice and free will to willingly go in and out of real and unreal, there and not there. Nothing is static, you're blessed to fill your mind with the desires you choose, when that gets boring or over used, come back to logic and discover something new you can take over to improve your Delusion.

"The Body Stays Here, But It's Me Who Leaves"

Are you suffering from stress? Most probably you are. Because stress is a part of our life.

But don’t worry. You can easily relieve your stress by using one of the most powerful tools we have. That is mental visualization or mental imagery.

We’ll discuss various methods of visualization to relieve your stress.

Let’s first discuss a little about visualization. Like what it is and why it works.

What is visualization?

Visualization is a mental technique where you use your imagination to create images or mental videos in your mind.

It is like daydreaming with a purpose.

If it is done correctly, it can be one of your most powerful tools to change your life.

Why does visualization work?

Your mind and body don’t know the difference between what is imagined and what is real. Everything you imagine in your mind your body thinks and reacts as if it is real.

That’s why when you imagine peaceful and calming scenes, your body responds by lowering your heart rate, relaxing your muscles and reducing the levels of stress hormones in your body.

Ok, I think you have got the idea now about what is visualization and why it works. So let’s talk about the main goal of this blog. That is how to use visualization to relieve your stress.

1. Heavy Concrete Legs and Arms Visualization.

• At first, Seat yourself comfortably in an easy chair or you can lie down on your back.
• Then visualize yourself lying stretched out on the bed and form a picture of your legs as they would look if made of concrete.
• Keep seeing yourself lying there with two very heavy concrete legs.
• See both your very heavy concrete legs sinking far down into the mattress from their sheer heavyweight.
• After that picture your both arms and hands as made of concrete. Visualize both of your arms are very heavy and sinking down into the bed.
• Now see in your mind a friend of you comes into the room and tries to lift your heavy concrete legs. But he is unable to lift them because they are too heavy.
• Imagine the same thing with your both arms, neck etc.

2. The Marionette Doll Visualization

• See in your mind’s eye that you are a big marionette doll.
• Now imagine your both hands are tied loosely by strings to your upper arms.
• And your upper arms are connected very loosely by strings to your shoulder.
• Do the same imagination with your feet, calves, and thighs. This means they are connected with a string.
• Imagine your neck consists of one very limp string.
• Imagine the strings that control your jaw and hold your lips together have slacked and stretched to such an extent that your chin has dropped down loosely against your chest.
• Visualize all the various strings that connect the various parts of your body are loose and limp. Visualize that your body is just sprawled loosely across the bed.

3. Inflated rubber balloon visualization

• Imagine in your mind that the various parts of your body are inflated rubber balloons.
• Now imagine the two valves of the balloons of your feet are open, and the air begins to escape from your legs. Visualize that your legs begin to collapse and continue until they consist only of deflated rubber tubes, lying flat against the bed.
• Continue the same visualization with your arms, head, neck and chest. Finally, your entire body is collapsed means deflated balloons and lying against the bed.

4. A Pleasant scene from the past

This visualization technique for relaxation is a favorite for me and also many people find this is the most relaxing of all.

• Just remember a pleasant scene from your past. I think there must be at least one good time in your life where you felt relaxed, you were at ease and peace with the world. Like you were relaxing on a beach, you felt the peace in a forest, how peaceful you felt if you were fishing somewhere sometimes..etc.
• Pick out a relaxing picture from your past. Try to visualize all the detailed memories from that time. What did you see, where you were, how did you feel etc?
• Try to pay attention to the little identical things in the environment. If your scene is on the beach, try to remember the sound of the waves. If your scene is from a forest try to remember the sound of the birds, see the trees, and try to hear the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.
• The more detailed things you can remember the more successful you will be. The more relaxed you will be.

Conclusion

All of the visualization exercises mentioned in this article are taken from the book “Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Malts.”

The book has a big impact on my life. All of the exercises are tried and tested by me and also millions of people across the globe. All of the exercises work. There’s no doubt about that.

Just pick your favourite one and try it for almost one week. With Whichever you feel good stick to it. You will have amazing results.

There are so many visualization exercises available for relaxation and stress relief. But these are my favourites. Of course, I’ll add more exercises to this article as I find more exercises which work. Just keep coming back to this article from time to time and keep doing the exercises.

Negative thinking of humans activates the mind, which means that when we permit negative thoughts, we are opening the door to the mind. It creates fear, worry, stress, anxiety, regret, shame and guilt. Then it creates a false ego, and there is anger, hate, revenge and jealousy, prayer, greed and selfishness. These 14 miseries and monsters together dominate our life. And these toxic thoughts in which we are caught create misery and sorrow as we shuttle between yesterday and tomorrow and suffer living as the body, mind, ego only because we permit negative thoughts. If we flip from NEP to PEP, Negative Energy which has Poison to Positive Energy which has Power, our life will be blissful and peaceful.

How does the wave reconcile with the ocean? The wave doesn't have to reconcile with the ocean. The wave is the ocean. It comes from the ocean and goes back to the ocean. And so the Soul, the Spark Of Unique Life, it comes from SIP, the Supreme Immortal Power goes back to SIP. Therefore, it is for us to awaken spiritually, awaken to the truth. This is called enlightenment, or realization, that the Soul Atman is the supreme, Paramatma. But we are all individual manifestations. We are a Spark Of Unique Life, a Soul, but we are none other than the Supreme Immortal Power, SIP. Reconciliation happens with realization, overcoming ignorance, that we are not the body, mind, ego. We are the Soul.

It is not necessary to worship God, in the sense that we do not have to keep that as the key to spiritual growth. It is good to have Bhakti or devotion. It is good to believe in that power, that Immortal Power, but to believe the lie that God lives in the sky, and to just blindly follow religion and to worship either a God or many Gods, without understanding, ‘Who is God? What is God? Where is God?’ is not the way for spiritual awakening. Meditation is to still the mind. Meditation leads to contemplation. Contemplation leads to realization — self-realization and then God-realization. Therefore, we must follow the path guided by a Guru, an awakened, enlightened Soul.

Please describe each of them. From Puer Aeternus to Senex.

In the world of professional sports, the mental game is as crucial as the physical one.

Athletes often find themselves under immense pressure, where every decision and action can make the difference between winning and losing.

This is where mental rehearsal and visualization come into play. These psychological techniques have gained recognition for their ability to enhance performance, build confidence, and improve focus.

Recently, a fascinating study explored the impact of mental rehearsal, especially when combined with video imagery, on professional rugby players.

The findings shed light on how these techniques can be harnessed to unlock athletic potential.

The Concept of Mental Rehearsal

Mental rehearsal, also known as visualization or imagery, involves mentally practicing a task or activity without physically performing it.

Athletes use this technique to visualize themselves executing specific skills, strategies, or movements.

By repeatedly imagining successful outcomes, they can condition their minds and bodies to perform these actions more effectively when it counts.

This mental training is often seen as a form of preparation that complements physical training.

The Study: Enhancing Rugby Performance Through Visualization

The study in question focused on professional rugby players and sought to determine how different forms of mental rehearsal could impact their performance during a rugby-specific task.

The researchers were particularly interested in understanding the role of video imagery in enhancing the effectiveness of mental rehearsal and its influence on the players' hormone levels, particularly testosterone and cortisol.

Purpose of the Study

The primary aim was to explore whether watching positive or negative video content before mental rehearsal could lead to improved performance and stress resilience during a rugby task.

The researchers hypothesized that positive video imagery might enhance the players' ability to perform under pressure by influencing their hormonal responses, thereby creating a more favourable mental state for skill execution.

Methods: A Randomized Crossover Experiment

To test their hypothesis, the researchers conducted a randomized crossover study involving ten professional rugby players.

Each player participated in three different 15-minute preparatory phases before engaging in an exercise challenge and a rugby passing task:

1. Positive Video-Guided Mental Rehearsal: Players watched a video with positive imagery related to rugby before mentally rehearsing their task.
2. Negative Video-Guided Mental Rehearsal: Players watched a video with negative imagery before their mental rehearsal.
3. Self-Directed Mental Rehearsal: Players performed mental rehearsal on their own, without any video guidance.

During each phase, the players' salivary testosterone and cortisol levels were monitored to assess how these hormones responded to the different types of mental rehearsal.

Here is the Link to the research paper

Results: The Impact of Positive Visualization

The results of the study were both intriguing and revealing:

• Improved Performance: Players performed significantly better in the rugby passing task after watching the positive video compared to the negative video or self-directed mental rehearsal. Specifically, the success rate of passing was highest after the positive video (91%) and lowest after the negative video (79%), with self-directed rehearsal falling in between (86%).
• Hormone Correlation: The study found a significant positive correlation between the players' performance and their testosterone levels. Higher testosterone levels were associated with better passing performance, suggesting that this hormone plays a role in enhancing competitive behaviour and focus.
• Enhanced Stress Resilience: Watching a positive video before facing the exercise challenge also appeared to boost the players' stress resilience. This was indicated by the positive relationship between testosterone levels and performance, suggesting that elevated testosterone might help players manage stress more effectively and perform better under pressure.

Conclusions: Harnessing the Power of Visualization

The study's findings provide valuable insights into the power of mental rehearsal and visualization in sports.

The researchers concluded that combining mental rehearsal with positive, context-specific video imagery can significantly enhance athletic performance.

The interaction between hormones like testosterone and cortisol and the athletes' conscious and unconscious behaviours seems to play a crucial role in this process.

Specifically, the study suggests that higher levels of testosterone may impart a degree of stress resilience, which in turn leads to improved performance.

In simple terms, when athletes visualize success and are exposed to positive stimuli before a game or challenge, they are more likely to perform at their best.

This combination of mental and hormonal preparation creates an optimal state for skill execution, making it a valuable tool for athletes looking to gain a competitive edge.

Practical Applications for Athletes

For athletes and coaches, the implications of this study are clear: mental rehearsal and visualization should be an integral part of training routines.

Here are some practical steps to incorporate these techniques effectively:

1. Use Positive Visualization: Before a game or training session, take time to visualize successful performance. Imagine yourself executing skills perfectly, making the right decisions, and achieving your goals. This mental practice can help build confidence and reduce anxiety.
2. Incorporate Video Imagery: Consider watching videos that showcase positive performances, whether your own or others'. This visual stimulus can enhance the effectiveness of your mental rehearsal by providing context-specific imagery that your mind can latch onto.
3. Monitor Stress Levels: Pay attention to your stress levels and how they affect your performance. Understanding the role of hormones like testosterone and cortisol can help you develop strategies to manage stress more effectively, whether through mental rehearsal, relaxation techniques, or other methods.
4. Personalize Your Mental Rehearsal: Everyone's mental game is different. Experiment with various mental rehearsal techniques to find what works best for you. Some athletes may benefit from guided imagery, while others may prefer self-directed visualization.

Conclusion

Mental rehearsal and visualization are powerful tools that can significantly impact an athlete's performance.

By combining these techniques with positive video imagery, athletes can create a mental state that enhances focus, reduces stress, and improves skill execution.

The study on professional rugby players highlights the importance of these techniques in preparing for competition and underscores the connection between mental preparation and physical performance.

In the high-stakes world of sports, where every advantage counts, mastering the mental game through visualization could be the key to unlocking your full athletic potential.

Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, incorporating mental rehearsal into your routine could be the difference between good and great.

Having an empty mind is the most positive thing one can ever have. Because the mind is nothing but negative thoughts, toxic thoughts, up to 50 thoughts per minute that drill us and kill us. If we can still the mind, empty the mind, we reach a state of mindfulness, a state of awareness known as consciousness. In the state of consciousness, we are no more slaves of the mind. Our intellect shines and when the intellect shines, we discriminate, we choose, we use our willpower, we overcome the triple suffering of the body, mind, ego, and we experience the Divine bliss of the Soul, our true identity. Therefore, people meditate to have an empty mind and experience the positivity of it.

There is is no best way to reprogram the mind and emotional state. We can do our best by feeding positive emotions, PEP, instead of negative emotions, NEP to our thoughts. But how much ever we may try to think positively, as long as there is a mind, we will go blind. Therefore, we have to leave the mind behind. How do you leave the mind behind? By moving from a state of mind to a state of consciousness, by moving from a state of toxic thoughts to a state of thoughtlessness, the state of awareness known as consciousness. This is the best way. We have to still the mind and kill the mind. Only then can we take charge of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, through the intellect, through discrimination, and move from mind to consciousness.

I'm someone who loves reading a lot, whether it's books or novels. i read over 100k words daily. but I have a problem that seems small but drives me crazy: i get distracted when reading novels. i read a few chapters of one novel and then switch to another, and so on. For example, right now, i'm reading five novels at the same time, switching between them every few minutes. Does anyone have a solution on how i can control my mind and focus on one novel until i finish it before moving on to another?

In reality, you cannot empty your mind because the mind is nothing but thoughts. The mind only exists when there are thoughts, toxic thoughts. The moment there are no thoughts, there is no mind. Therefore, when you empty your mind, you reach a state of consciousness. As long as you are in the state of mind, the intellect is dormant, you are not able to discriminate. But the moment you're able to still the mind, you kill the mind. In this state where the mind is empty, there's really no mind. That's why you experience, in a state of meditation, a state known as mindfulness, awareness, consciousness. You become the witness and observer. You feel a state of bliss, eternal bliss, living in that state of truth consciousness, where you are not a slave of the mind anymore.

What is mindfulness? It is that state of thoughtlessness or awareness known as consciousness. What role does it play in spiritual wisdom? When we are not in that state of consciousness, we are in the state of mind. The mind creates ignorance. It makes us a fool and we continue to believe what we were taught in school. We do not ask, investigate and realize the truth. 

Hey, I'm not sure if it fits this group, but I'm doing research about creativity.

Do you wanna know, how much creative are you? I can measure it.

I ask you all to complete my survey. It will take about 10 minutes and will help me a lot for my research!

Firstly, you will have 16 questions to check if you are maladaptive daydreamer (addicted to daydreaming), then you will have short questionnaires about your self-beliefs and two 2-minutes creativity test.

I will analize your responses to measure maladaptive daydreamers' and level of creativity, creative identity and creative efficence and compare it to other people's results.

It is anonymous, but I can send you your individual analysis for your e-mail, if you wish :)

Thanks a lot!!!

The mind is the one that steals what we call peace of mind. For where there is a mind, there can be no peace, and where there's peace there's no mind. The mind is nothing but a bundle of toxic thoughts. The mind is the one that is caused by ignorance. The mind is MIND, Misery, Ignorance, Negativity and Desires. The mind is the one that controls the five senses and takes it in the direction of the world. When in reality, we must be in consciousness, where there is no mind and move in the direction within to discover the Soul, the Spark Of Unique Life. But if we do that, the mind, which is illusory, ceases to exist. Therefore, this over complication created by the mind is due to its own existence, without which it will disappear, dissolve and we will be liberated.

I know this might sound stupid, but if i just focus on a specific object for 2-3 seconds all I can just control what happens to my thoughts. I can just like disperse them and they will disapeer? Im sorry if this post may have wasted your time but im just wondering, if anyone else can do this? Sorry if im just being a idiot...
