It is a well known fact that most humans use only about 10% of their potential mind power. It’s something staggering to think about; how high must our potential be if we only use this small fraction of our minds! What could you accomplish if you were able to use 100% of your mind?
In fact it has long been thought by scientists that people with all types of extra sensory and psychic powers have these powers because they are able to access different parts of their mind from other people. It seems that they were either born with this increased mindpower or have managed to develop this mindpower in later life.
Although the process is far from fully understood, the latest advances in quantum physics are beginning to reveal the true nature of the link between what we think and what we experience in ‘real’ life.
There are studies which seem to suggest that our minds have more power than we think to shape reality; in fact, it may be that our minds are the determiners of our world, not the other way around.
Popular books like ‘The Secret’ explain the idea that people can use their mindpower to change the world around them through what is called the law of attraction.
In case you have not come across it before, the law of attraction concerns the whole universe and states that there is a cause and effect for everything we do. So whatever you think about you will get! You must however communicate with your subconscious mind to tell it what you want; otherwise it presumes you want everything to stay as it is. Scientifically this is known as a state of homeostasis.
It seems that not only is the subconscious the prime mover behind psychic powers like remote viewing and telepathy, but is also our conduit to the energy of the universe around us.
Now the key to the development of your mindpower is to communicate with your subconscious mind. But how exactly do you do this? There are a number of ways.
Affirmations:- A staple of positive thinking, affirmations are repeated until they sink into the subconscious mind, where they influence your behavior to achieve the desired outcomes. Your subconscious can make things happen by using your unused mindpower.
If you needed to boost your self esteem, you may tell yourself things like ‘I am confident and well liked’. If you want to break a habit, you can use affirmations like ‘I only eat healthy foods’.
With consistent repetition affirmations really do work. You communicate with your subconscious mind, telling it to do something different and it does! It makes you behave differently.
If you follow this logic, its possible to change more than your behavior; you can change the world itself by using affirmations to tap into your mindpower.
Visualization:- Using visualization to develop mindpower involves closing your eyes and imagining what you want to happen. Your subconscious mind reacts strongly to pictures. Visualize yourself being successful. Imagine yourself will everything you have ever dreamed of! Visualize that new house, that new car. You can even make a scrapbook beforehand containing pictures of everything you want to manifest to help you focus. Visualize consistently and it really will appear in your life.
You can use visualization to help you develop some of the psychic abilities which are naturally present in every human being. You can visualize yourself predicting the future or communicating via telepathy. If you keep practicing, visualization can bring these latent abilities to the surface and increase your mindpower even further.
Hypnosis:- Hypnosis is another well known way of communicating with your subconscious mind and helping to develop mindpower. If you visit a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist they will start by making sure you are totally relaxed and then offer suggestions to your subconscious mind which it will remember when you wake up.
Alternatively you can try self hypnosis where you listen to a recording of a hypnotherapist going through the session. The advantage of this, apart from the cost, is that you can keep listening to it over and over again.
Brainwave entrainment:- Brainwave entrainment uses new breakthroughs in audio technology. Certain frequencies attune your brainwaves resulting in many different benefits such as pain relief and improved memory.
Some frequencies attune your mind to the trance state where it becomes easy to speak directly to the subconscious and thus increase mindpower.
There are also frequencies designed to stimulate the chakras; these are your body’s energy centers. One of the most important chakras is the ‘third eye’ which corresponds to psychic abilities.
All of us already have these psychic powers; but they must be developed by enhancing your mindpower. Unless you make the effort to develop these abilities, they remain locked in your subconscious mind and are never used.
So when we talk about developing mindpower we really mean unlocking all of the latent powers and true potential of every human being.
