Tapping into your Subconscious

We like to believe we are in control.

That our thoughts are conscious, rational, and carefully chosen.

But neuroscience tells a different story.

Most of what we think, feel, and do comes not from deliberate reasoning, but from the subconscious.

The subconscious is not some mystical place.

It’s a network of deeply learned patterns stored in your brain and body. These include emotional memories, habits, and beliefs formed when you were too young to reason.

They’re designed to help you survive. Over time, they become automatic.

You walk into a room and feel tense without knowing why. You avoid speaking up, not because of logic, but because something inside says it isn’t safe.

That something is the subconscious.

Scientists have found that your brain begins preparing actions before you’re aware of deciding.

Your nervous system reacts to threats in milliseconds, well before your thinking brain can weigh in.

In a real sense, thought reflects deeper belief. One shaped by experience, emotion and memory.

But this doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You can access the subconscious.

You can change it.

In order to change, you first need to accept that it is not your conscious that is driving behavior.

The subconscious can be accessed, for example, by being in a Delta and Theta state when your brain waves are at approximately 4 Hz and below.

The best example I can give you is the brief moment as soon as you wake up.

You are still in a slow brain state. If you can tune into your thoughts and emotions at this time, you will be accessing your subconscious.

So what are you thinking? What beliefs are driving thought? How did they come? Where did they come from?

Would you like to change them?

“If I speak up, I’ll be judged.” These thoughts don’t come from reason. They come from old emotional truths your body never forgot.

Once you name the belief, you can shift it. Not with logic and reason.

But by rewiring that belief with a better one. “I love expressing my opinion.“

The belief changes.

You don’t need to fight your mind. You need to listen to it more deeply.

The actual change begins when you stop trying to control your thoughts and start understanding the beliefs that drive them.

That is transformation.
