How does the subconscious mind work?

You are a body with one mind but that mind has two aspects. Your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is the part of your self that is indescribable, powerful and functional meaning it is elusive but powerfully controls 95% of your behaviour. For instance the automatic beating of your heart is controlled by your subconscious mind. You don't think every second of the day heart beat or figure out how to get this red organ to pump it just happens, all by itself self without your conscious effort or involvement.

The conscious aspect of your mind is basically your mind working at a superficial level, you are in a conscious state of mind when you are alert and thinking , your alert asking questions, making plans. Your conscience mind is the aspect of your brain that feels alert to whatever you are doing or where you are at in the moment. Your conscience mind is your mind in activity . Your conscious mind is your reasoning self, it’s when you are thinking, when you are awake, when you are planning, when you are making effort thinking and analysing, questioning and critiquing. It's the intelligent mind.

However at times you do these things effortlessly, or without thinking or half asleep this means you are doing so subconsciously akin to driving and not remembering how you got to where you are or feeling like your flowing with such ability it’s like your in the zone, this is your subconscious mind working. The difference is subtle because both the conscious mind and subconscious mind work together simultaneously.

The subconscious mind is super intelligent. Your subconscious mind store’s all your memory and functions differently to the conscious mind. How does the subconscious mind work? Simply put, it instantly gives evidence to your conscious mind. Without a subconscious mind you would forget who and where you are everyday.

There are thousands of thoughts, ideas experiences all are memories and stories in your subconscious mind right this second. Life as you see and experience is somewhat illusory and a matter of perspective, in the sense that your awareness is experiencing a constant stream of data which are interpreted as feelings, sensations and thoughts to know you exist and are real.

Again how does the subconscious mind work? The subconscious mind works through your experience, feelings and the meaning you give to those experiences. Your present life circumstances is the sum of all experiences, feelings and meaning. As a result behaviours are created resulting in the persons life story and the cycle continues. People’s stories expectations can even be passed down, expected and seen generationally.

Humans can allow themselves through their subconscious mind to overcome tremendous challenges . To stand strong in the midst difficult of circumstances. To have an emence amount of courage and bravery. The nature of our subconscious minds is to survive, evolve, grow bigger. That’s life . Life is within our subconscious minds and it’s energy pulsates towards growth.

So how does the subconscious mind work? The subconscious mind works by reflection. The subconscious mind is like a mirror and will reflect back what the sum of the story is within a persons whole mind both consciously and subconsciously, it is instant and and is always working.

As a human being, practicing more self reflection such as journaling, prayer, inner contemplation, being in nature, meditating, loving and nurturing the innocent, vulnerable and or animals even creatures, plants and vegetables with full attention or practicing anything that allows us to be awake but in a contemplative quiet state of mind, allows us to communicate something powerful to our subconscious mind, that is-that we are at peace. That this is the essence of who we are and that is our core story.

Subconsciously or with little effort and or automaticly we begin to act and behave more peacefully, more peace is seen or observed within our world. So in answering the question how does the subconscious mind work? The subconscious mind does so by subjecting itself to our communication with it. We behave in a way that communicates to the subconscious all the time, we are who we are through this constant reinforcement and cycle.
