Plant positive Thoughts
(Vinod Anand)

How many of us utilize the power of the subconscious mind? Your subconscious mind does not need your advice to say what is to be done to overcome barriers, when there is a blockade in your daily life.

It is continuously alert: Whatever your need may be — your desire for a promotion, purchase of house and precious household items, or anything else — you are able to get guidance from your subconscious mind.

Through our conscious mind, we are directed to talk, speak, write or do any work which brings harmony and peace to us, our family members and well wishers. The subconscious mind does not understand all these things.

If you sincerely and with devotion and conviction ask for help, it will not only help you but also guide you to the right solution, if you are able to understand its signal. The subconscious mind is like ‘gigo’ — garbage in/garbage out — or pipo’ —positive in/positive out. It is entirely up to you, how you use its power. Despite its charismatic power, very few of us are aware of it enough to use the power.

Except perhaps a few eminent scientists, lawyers, doctors or businessmen, for example. Many creative scientists have used the power of the subconscious mind to find solutions to complexities associated with their discoveries. For example, the celebrated chemist Friedrich Von Stradonitz of Germany of the nineteenth century was completely puzzled because of his inability -to solve a complex problem related to the structure of hydrocarbon called benzene.

He was exhausted, tired and a frustrated and decided to utilize the power of the subconscious mind. In his sleep, he saw the image of a snake biting its own tail and turning around like a pin wheel. When he awoke next day, he got the long-sought answer, the circular arrangement of atoms, which is known as the benzene ring. Students of mind or psychologists are aware that we have one mind.

This mind has two functional and characteristics parts. One is known as the conscious mind and the other is the subconscious. They are classified as the subjective and objective minds, the waking and sleeping minds, the voluntary and involuntary minds and the male and female minds and so on. Let us take the example of a garden.

By his habit, the gardener plants seeds with hope that one day the garden will be full of quality fruits and flowers. Similarly, if the conscious-mind goes on thinking positive thoughts, the subconscious mind will accumulate the same.

It works like a mental bank. As and when you are puzzled, you face anxieties, you foresee any problem or you are not finding any solution to a problem, you ask for help exercising your mental power, and the subconscious mind will definitely assist you.

If the balance of accumulated thoughts are more positive than negative in the mental bank, your subconscious mind will guide you accordingly. So, you have to act like a gardener.

You have to always make a habit to plant positive thoughts. You will see that your subconscious mind is getting enriched with positive thoughts receiving the continuous flow of the same from the conscious mind.

Then your life will be a bed of roses, perhaps of course, with occasional thorns. These thorns may slow your progress a bit, but they cannot throw you off balance because you have nourished your subconscious mind effectively and efficiently.
