Digital narration of Joseph Murphy’s book by David DeAngelis, narrated by Edward Herrmann. This book explores how the power of your subconscious mind can work miracles in your life. It aims to teach you that your habitual thinking and imagery can shape your destiny. It addresses questions such as why some people are happy and successful while others are not, and why some people experience miracles while others do not.

Chapter 1: The Treasure House Within You

Within your subconscious mind lies infinite wisdom, power, and abundance. By learning to tap into and release this power, you can bring more wealth, health, and happiness into your life. The key is to recognize the potential within you and develop an understanding of how your mind works. The subconscious mind holds the answers to all your problems and can help you manifest your desires. By uniting mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody, you can activate the creative powers of your subconscious mind.

The Master Secret of the Ages

The master secret of the ages is the miraculous power found within your own subconscious mind. This power can bring about positive changes in your life if you learn to access and utilize it. The power of your subconscious mind is not confined to any particular religion or belief system. It is a universal principle that operates based on your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. By understanding and applying the principles outlined in this book, you can attract abundance, success, and fulfillment in all areas of your life.

Happiness is not found in a specific path; rather, happiness is the path itself

The Law of Belief

The law of belief states that whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed in your reality. Your beliefs shape your experiences, conditions, and events. By harnessing the power of belief and aligning your thoughts with what you desire, you can manifest your heart’s desires. It is important to let go of false beliefs, superstitions, and fears, and instead, believe in the eternal truths and principles of life. By doing so, you can move forward and upward towards your goals and aspirations.

When it comes to praying, it is important to understand how the principles of the subconscious mind work. By applying these principles, you can pray scientifically and effectively for yourself and others. Your prayers are answered based on the universal law of action and reaction. Your thoughts are the incipient action, and the response from your subconscious mind corresponds to the nature of your thoughts.

It is crucial to keep your mind busy with concepts of harmony, health, peace, and goodwill. By focusing on these positive thoughts, you can experience wonders in your life.

Your mind has two distinctive characteristics: the conscious and subconscious. These two functions of your mind are essentially different, each with its own attributes and powers. Throughout this book, we will refer to these two functions as the conscious and subconscious minds.

Think of your mind as a garden, and you are the gardener. Throughout the day, you are planting seeds (thoughts) in your subconscious mind based on your habitual thinking. As you sow these thoughts in your subconscious mind, you will reap the corresponding effects in your body and environment. So, it is important to sow thoughts of peace, happiness, right action, goodwill, and prosperity in the garden of your mind to reap a glorious harvest.

How does our Subconscious Mind Works?

Your subconscious mind can be compared to soil that can grow all kinds of seeds, whether good or bad. Just as you do not gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect. Therefore, it is essential to take charge of your thoughts and ensure that you are bringing forth desirable conditions.

To change external conditions, you must first change the cause. Instead of trying to change circumstances and conditions, focus on changing the way you think and picture things in your mind. By controlling your thought processes, you can apply the powers of your subconscious mind to any problem or difficulty, consciously cooperating with the infinite power and omnipotent law that governs all things.

Most people live in the world without, focusing on external conditions. However, enlightened individuals understand the importance of the world within – their thoughts, feelings, and imagery. The world within is the only creative power, and everything in the outer world is created by you in the inner world of your mind.

Understanding how your conscious and subconscious minds interact can transform your entire life. To remove discord, confusion, lack, and limitation, you must change the way you use your conscious mind. By thinking and picturing things in your mind correctly, you can experience harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything.

Your subconscious mind works 24 hours a day and is highly responsive to your thoughts. It is important to plant positive thoughts and ideas in your subconscious through repetition, faith, and expectancy. By doing so, you can experience abundance, wisdom, peace, joy, and freedom.

Many great scientists, artists, poets, singers, writers, and inventors have a deep understanding of the conscious and subconscious minds. They tap into the powers of their subconscious to achieve greatness.

For example, the great operatic tenor Caruso experienced stage fright before a performance. He overcame his fear by speaking authoritatively to his subconscious mind, telling it to get out of the way and allow the “big me” – the limitless power and wisdom of his subconscious – to sing through him. By doing so, he delivered a glorious performance.

You have the power to speak authoritatively to the irrational emotions generated in your deeper mind. By bringing silence, harmony, and peace to your mind, you can control your subconscious and transform your life.

It is important to remember that your subconscious mind is subject to your conscious mind. You are the captain of your ship, giving the right orders to your subconscious mind. By giving the right thoughts and images to your subconscious, you can control and govern all your experiences.

Never use negative terms like “I can’t afford it” or “I can’t do this.” Your subconscious mind takes you at your word and ensures that you lack the money or ability to do what you want. Instead, affirm that you can do all things through the power of your subconscious mind.

The law of life is the law of belief. Your beliefs are thoughts in your mind. Believe in the power of your subconscious mind to heal, inspire, strengthen, and prosper you. Your beliefs create your reality.

Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny.

Chapter 2: How Your Own Mind Works

Your mind consists of two levels: the conscious and subconscious. The conscious mind is the reasoning mind, while the subconscious mind is the creative mind. Your conscious mind chooses, makes decisions, and thinks. Your subconscious mind controls the automatic processes in your body and responds to the nature of your thoughts.

Once your subconscious mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. It works by association of ideas and uses all the knowledge you have gathered in your lifetime to bring about its purpose. It draws on the infinite power, energy, and wisdom within you to manifest your desires.

If a practiced hypnotist suggests to one of his subjects that he is Napoleon Bonaparte or even a cat or a dog, he will act out the part with inimitable accuracy. His personality becomes changed for the time being, and he believes himself to be whatever the operator tells him. This illustrates the difference between the conscious reasoning mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind deals with outward objects and observes the objective world through the five physical senses. The subconscious mind, on the other hand, takes cognizance of its environment through intuition and is the seat of emotion and memory. It can perceive without the use of the natural organs of vision and has the ability to apprehend the thoughts of others without the use of ordinary communication. It is important to understand the interaction between the conscious and subconscious mind in order to learn the true art of prayer.

The subconscious mind cannot reason like the conscious mind and accepts whatever the conscious mind believes to be true. Therefore, it is crucial to select thoughts and ideas that bless, heal, inspire, and bring joy to the soul. The subconscious mind is the seat of habit, and the habitual thinking of the conscious mind establishes deep grooves in the subconscious mind. If these habitual thoughts are harmonious, peaceful, and constructive, it is favorable for the individual. However, if fear and worry have been indulged in, it is necessary to recognize the power of the subconscious mind and decree freedom, happiness, and perfect health to overcome these destructive thoughts.

The conscious mind acts as the watchman at the gate and its chief function is to protect the subconscious mind from false impressions. The subconscious mind is amenable to suggestion and reacts to the impressions given by the conscious mind. Suggestion can be used to discipline and control oneself or to take control over others. It is important to give the subconscious mind only suggestions that heal, bless, elevate, and inspire. Your subconscious mind cannot take a joke and takes you at your word. Therefore, it is essential to use auto suggestion to banish fear, restore memory, overcome negative temper, and counteract negative suggestions given by others.

Heterodigestion, which refers to suggestions from another person, has played a role in the life and thought of man throughout history. It can be constructive or destructive depending on the nature of the suggestion. Negative suggestions can distort life patterns and make the development of good habits difficult. It is important to counteract negative suggestions by giving your subconscious mind constructive auto suggestions. Regularly check on the negative suggestions that people make to you and reject them if they are destructive. Remember that the power of suggestion lies in the acceptance of the suggestion by the conscious mind.

One must be aware of the power of assumption in the mind. The major premise assumed by the conscious mind determines the conclusion reached by the subconscious mind. This syllogism-like thinking process determines how the mind responds to questions and problems. It is essential to choose positive major premises and assumptions in order to lead a life of abundance, love, health, and happiness.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

Town Hall New York said to me: “Everything in my life is topsy-turvy and I have lost health, wealth, and friends. Everything I touch turns out wrong.” I explained to him that he should establish a major premise in his thinking – that the infinite intelligence of his subconscious mind was guiding, directing, and prospering him spiritually, mentally, and materially. Then, his subconscious mind would automatically direct him wisely in his investment decisions and also heal his body and restore his mind to peace and tranquility.

This professor formulated an overall picture of the way he wanted his life to be, and this was his major premise: “Infinite intelligence leads and guides me in all my ways. Perfect health is mine and the law of harmony operates in my mind and body. Beauty, love, peace, and abundance are mine. The principle of right action and divine order govern my entire life. I know my major premise is based on the eternal truths of life, and I know, feel, and believe that my subconscious mind responds according to the nature of my conscious mind thinking.”

He wrote me as follows: “I repeated the above statements slowly, quietly, and lovingly several times a day, knowing that they were sinking deep down into my subconscious mind and that results must follow. I am deeply grateful for the interview you gave me, and I would like to add that all departments of my life are changing for the better. It works!”

The subconscious does not argue controversially. Your subconscious mind is all-wise and knows the answers to all questions. It does not argue with you or talk back to you. It does not say, “You must not impress me with that.” For example, when you say, “I can’t do this. I am too old now. I can’t meet this obligation. I was born on the wrong side of the tracks. I don’t know the right politician,” you are impregnating your subconscious with these negative thoughts and it responds accordingly. You are actually blocking your own good, thereby bringing lack, limitation, and frustration into your life.

When you set up obstacles, impediments, and delays in your conscious mind, you are denying the wisdom and intelligence resident in your subconscious mind. You are actually saying in effect that your subconscious mind cannot solve your problem. This leads to mental and emotional congestion followed by sickness and neurotic tendencies.

To realize your desire and overcome your frustration, affirm boldly several times a day: “The infinite intelligence which gave me this desire leads, guides, and reveals to me the perfect plan for the unfolding of my desire. I know the deeper wisdom of my subconscious is now responding and what I feel and claim within is expressed in the without. There is a balance, equilibrium, and equanimity.”

If you say, “There is no way out. I am lost. There is no way out of this dilemma. I’m stymied and blocked,” you will get no answer or response from your subconscious mind. If you want the subconscious to work for you, give it the right request and attain its cooperation. It is always working for you. It is controlling your heartbeat this minute and also your breathing. It heals a cut on your finger and its tendency is lifeward, forever seeking to take care of you and preserve you. Your subconscious has a mind of its own, but it accepts your patterns of thought and imagery.

When you are seeking an answer to a problem, your subconscious will respond, but it expects you to come to a decision and to a true judgment in your conscious mind. You must acknowledge the answer is in your subconscious mind. However, if you say, “I don’t think there is any way out. I’m all mixed up and confused. Why don’t I get an answer?” you are neutralizing your prayer. Like the soldier marking time, you do not get anywhere. Still the wheels of your mind, relax, let go, and quietly affirm: “My subconscious knows the answer. It is responding to me now. I give thanks because I know the infinite intelligence of my subconscious knows all things and is revealing the perfect answer to me now. My real conviction is now setting free the majesty and glory of my subconscious mind. I rejoice that it is so.”

Review of Highlights

Think good and good follows, think evil and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.
Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” it may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought and decree, “I’ll buy it. I accept it in my mind.”
You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. Choose to be friendly, cooperative, joyous, and lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
Your conscious mind is the watchman at the gate. Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.
The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.
Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word. Never say, “I will fail. I will lose my job. I can’t pay the rent.” Your subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.
Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends on how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.
Never say, “I can’t overcome that fear.” By substituting the following, “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”
Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles of life, and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions.
You are the captain of your soul, subconscious mind, and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life, choose love, choose health, choose happiness.

The Miracle-Working Power of Your Subconscious

The power of your subconscious mind is enormous. It inspires you, guides you, and reveals to you names, facts, and scenes from the storehouse of memory. Your subconscious started your heartbeat, controls the circulation of your blood, regulates your digestion, assimilation, and elimination. Your subconscious mind controls all vital processes and functions of your body and knows the answer to all problems.

You can discover the miracle-working power of your subconscious by plainly stating to your subconscious prior to sleep that you wish a certain specific thing accomplished. You will be delighted to discover that forces within you will be released, leading to the desired result.

Your subconscious mind is the source of your ideals, aspirations, and altruistic urges. It was through the subconscious mind that Shakespeare perceived great truths hidden from the average man of his day. Undoubtedly, it was the response of his subconscious mind that caused the Greek sculptor Phidias to portray beauty, order, symmetry, and proportion in marble and bronze. It enabled the Italian artist Raphael to paint Madonnas and Ludwig van Beethoven to compose symphonies.

In 1955, I lectured at the Yoga Forest University in Rishikesh, India, and there I chatted with a visiting surgeon from Bombay. He told me about Dr. James Esdaile, a Scotch surgeon who worked in Bengal before ether or other modern methods of anesthesia were discovered. Between 1843 and 1846, Dr. Esdaile performed about 400 major operations on the eye, ear, and throat. All operations were conducted under mental anesthesia only.

This Indian doctor at Rishikesh informed me that the postoperative mortality rate of patients operated on by Dr. Esdaile was extremely low, probably two or three percent. Patients felt no pain, and there were no deaths during the operations. Dr. Esdaile suggested to the subconscious minds of all his patients who were in a hypnotic state that no infection or septic condition would develop. This was before Louis Pasteur, Joseph Lister, and others who pointed out the bacterial origin of disease and causes of infection due to unsterilized and virulent organisms.

This Indian surgeon said that the reason for the low mortality rate and the general absence of infection was undoubtedly due to the suggestions of Dr. Esdaile to the subconscious minds of his patients. They responded according to the nature of his suggestion. It is simply wonderful when you conceive how a surgeon over 120 years ago discovered the miraculous wonder-working powers of the subconscious mind.

Doesn’t it cause you to be seized with a sort of mystic awe when you stop and think of the transcendental powers of your subconscious mind? Consider its extrasensory perceptions, such as its capacity for clairvoyance and clairaudience, its independence of time and space, its capacity to render you free from all pain and suffering, and its capacity to get the answer to all problems, be they what they may. All these and many more reveal

In dreams, your conscious mind can interfere with the normal functioning of your body due to worry, anxiety, fear, and depression. This disrupts the harmony of your subconscious mind. The best way to restore balance is to relax and let go, allowing your subconscious mind to take over. By speaking to your subconscious mind with authority and conviction, you can restore the normal functioning of your body and promote healing.

Your subconscious mind seeks to preserve your life and restore you to health at any cost. It is responsible for instincts like the love you feel for your children, which illustrates its desire to preserve all life. For example, if you accidentally eat bad food, your subconscious mind will cause you to regurgitate it. If you ingest poison, your subconscious powers will neutralize it. By fully trusting in the power of your subconscious mind, you can be completely restored to health.

The first thing to remember is that your subconscious mind is always working, whether you are aware of it or not. It is responsible for building your body, but you cannot consciously perceive or hear this process. Your focus should be on your conscious mind, keeping it busy with positive thoughts and expectations. Your habitual thinking should be based on lovely, true, just, and good things. By taking care of your conscious mind in this way, you allow your subconscious mind to express, reproduce, and manifest according to your thoughts.

To convey the idea of perfect health to your subconscious mind, there are a few techniques you can use. One is to speak affirmations to yourself, such as “The perfection of God is now being expressed through me” and “The idea of perfect health is now filling my subconscious mind.” Another technique is to use disciplined imagination, where you create a vivid mental picture of yourself in perfect health and live out that image in your mind. Both of these methods help to impress the idea of perfect health onto your subconscious mind, which will then work to bring it into reality.

Throughout history, people have instinctively believed in a healing power that can restore the body’s functions and sensations. This belief has been supported by the testimonies of many individuals who have experienced healing. In ancient times, priests and holy men were believed to possess this healing power, which was said to come directly from God. Different cultures and religions had various healing practices, such as supplications, ceremonies, and the use of amulets and talismans. These practices often relied on the power of suggestion to the subconscious mind.

In modern times, healers from different backgrounds and traditions have achieved remarkable results where medical professionals have failed. The key to their success lies in the blind belief of the sick individuals, which triggers the healing power within their subconscious minds. The methods employed by these healers may seem strange or fantastic, but they all share the common element of appealing to the imagination and emotions of the patients, thus facilitating the acceptance of healing suggestions by their subconscious minds.

The use of subconscious powers is also mentioned in biblical accounts. Jesus taught that faith was essential for healing, and he often appealed to the subconscious minds of the sick through his words and actions. He emphasized the importance of complete trust and confidence in the healing power within oneself. The miracles performed by Jesus and the healings that occur at various shrines around the world can be attributed to the cooperation between the conscious and subconscious minds, as well as the strong belief and expectation of the individuals seeking healing.

Ultimately, there is a universal healing principle that transcends religious affiliations. It is the power of the subconscious mind, which can be activated through imagination, belief, and the elimination of doubt and negative thoughts. By harnessing this power, individuals can experience miraculous healings and restore balance and harmony to their bodies.

Remember these key ideas:

Your subconscious mind controls your body and has the answers to all your problems.
Before sleep, turn over your specific requests to your subconscious mind and witness its miracle-working power.
Be mindful of the thoughts and ideas you entertain in your conscious mind, as they are expressed in your external experiences.
Your thoughts are actions, and your subconscious mind automatically responds to them.
Frustration arises from unfulfilled desires, so focus on positive thoughts to align your subconscious mind with your goals.
Trust that the life principle within you will flow harmoniously if you affirm its power and presence.
Imagine the happy ending or solution to your problem, and feel the thrill of accomplishment, as your subconscious mind will bring it into reality.
Have faith in the power of your subconscious mind and believe that what you desire is already a reality.
Believe in the healing power within you and trust in its ability to restore health.
Understand that healings can occur at various shrines throughout the world, as long as there is blind belief and expectancy.
Follow the biblical technique of believing that your desire has already been fulfilled, and it will manifest in the future.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind in Healing

In 1776, the Swiss physician Franz Anton Mesmer claimed to have cured many diseases by stroking bodies with artificial magnets. He later evolved the theory of animal magnetism, which he believed was a fluid that permeated the universe and was most active in the human body. Mesmer believed that his magnetic fluid, which he emitted to his patients, healed them. However, a commission appointed by the government to investigate his cures found no evidence to support his theory and attributed the effects to the patients’ imaginations.

Dr. Braid of Manchester later showed that the healing effects attributed to magnetism by Mesmer were actually due to the power of suggestion. He discovered that patients could be put into a hypnotic sleep during which many of the phenomena associated with mesmerism could be reproduced. This demonstrated that the cures were brought about by the patients’ active imagination and the suggestion of health to their subconscious minds.

The subjective faith required for mental healing is attainable when the conscious mind stops opposing it. While it is desirable to have the faith of both the conscious and subconscious minds, it is not always essential. By entering a state of passivity and receptivity, one can relax the mind and body and achieve a drowsy state where the subconscious mind becomes receptive to suggestion.

A man once asked how he was healed by a minister, even though he didn’t believe the minister’s claims. The man was instructed to be passive and not think or say anything while the minister affirmed quietly and constantly for about half an hour that the man would have perfect health. The man experienced immense relief and was restored to health. This example shows how subjective faith can be manifested through passivity and the suggestions of healthfulness conveyed to the subconscious mind.

Absent treatment, or praying for someone who is not physically present, is based on the understanding that the universal mind is omnipresent. By aligning oneself with the infinite principle of love and life, one can pray for the health and well-being of loved ones. The thoughts of health and vitality operating through the universal subjective mind will be felt and resurrected in the mind of the loved one, leading to healing.

Practical Techniques in Mental Healing

Building on the analogy of an engineer constructing a bridge, the mind also has a technique for governing and directing one’s life. Methods and techniques are essential in prayer, which is the formulation of an idea or desire. Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire and represents one’s deepest needs and wants in life.

One technique is the “passing over” technique, where the subconscious mind takes over the conscious mind’s request. This is done by calmly thinking about what is desired and seeing it coming into fruition. The subconscious mind accepts this blueprint and brings it to pass.

Another technique is visualization, where one visualizes the desired outcome in vivid detail. The mind can only see what already exists in the external world, so visualizing the desired outcome makes it real in the invisible realms of the mind. The impressions formed in the mind through visualization become manifested as facts and experiences in one’s life.

By understanding and applying the principles of prayer and using these practical techniques, one can tap into the power of the subconscious mind to bring about healing and manifest their desires.

Summary of Aids to Health

Understand what heals you and give correct directions to your subconscious mind.
Develop a definite plan and turn your desires over to your subconscious mind.
Visualize the end desired and feel its reality.
Decide on your beliefs and focus on thoughts of perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance.
Do not believe in sickness or harm, but believe in perfect health and abundance.
Focus on great and noble thoughts to manifest great acts.
Apply the power of prayer therapy in your life by mentally and emotionally uniting with a specific idea or mental picture.
Have faith and understanding in the working of your conscious and subconscious mind.
Blind faith can still produce results without scientific understanding.
Pray for your loved ones by quieting your mind and focusing on thoughts of health and vitality.

Contractors and their workers gather materials and construct buildings according to the architect’s plans. Before speaking from the platform, I use the visualization technique to quiet my mind and present images of healing to the subconscious. I imagine a filled auditorium, with every person illuminated and inspired by the healing presence. I sustain this mental picture, imagining people saying they are healed and transformed. This technique has yielded positive results, with people reporting answered prayers and healings.

The Chinese say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and William James emphasized the power of the subconscious mind to bring about what is held in the mind with faith. I have used the mental movie method to manifest my desires. For example, when I desired a permanent location in the midwest, I imagined speaking to a large audience, feeling the reality of the situation. Soon after, I received an offer to take over an organization in the midwest. This method has also been effective for others, such as in the sale of property.

The Beaudoin technique, developed by Charles Beaudoin, involves entering a drowsy state and condensing the desired idea into a brief phrase. By repeating this phrase, the subconscious mind is impressed and brings about the desired outcome. An example is a woman who used the phrase “It is finished in divine order” to resolve a family lawsuit over a will. After consistently affirming this phrase in a relaxed state, a harmonious agreement was reached and the litigation was discontinued.

The sleeping technique involves entering a drowsy state, where the subconscious mind is most receptive to suggestions. By affirming statements of freedom from a destructive habit, one can recondition the mind and induce healing. The key is to act as though the desired state is already true and to repeat the affirmation with increasing emotional value.

The thank-you technique involves expressing gratitude and praise while making requests. This method establishes a thankful heart and attracts blessings from the universe. An example is a man who repeated the words “Thank you, Father, for my wealth” while in a relaxed state, which eventually led to a lucrative job offer and financial success.

The affirmative method relies on the intelligent application of positive affirmations. By affirming the truths of life, such as health and harmony, one can rearrange negative thought patterns in the subconscious mind. The key is to conform to these principles regardless of appearances and maintain a consistent affirmation until the subconscious mind accepts it as true.

The argumentative method involves using spiritual reasoning to convince the patient and oneself that sickness is a result of false beliefs and negative thought patterns. By arguing in favor of the healing power within and presenting evidence of the body’s ability to heal itself, one can liberate the patient from illness and create a change of belief.

The absolute method involves focusing on the qualities and attributes of God while thinking of the person being prayed for. By lifting oneself into a higher consciousness and feeling the presence of God’s love, one can dissolve negative conditions and bring about healing.

Dr. Fenia’s Parkhurst Quimby, a pioneer in mental and spiritual healing, used the absolute method in his practice. His ability to diagnose clairvoyantly allowed him to identify the root causes of his patients’ ailments. This method involves contemplating the attributes of God and generating spiritual waves of harmony, health, and peace.

These different methods of prayer and visualization have proven to be effective in manifesting desires and bringing about healing. By understanding and applying these techniques, one can tap into the power of the subconscious mind and align with the universal principles of life.

How to Harness the Power of Your Subconscious Mind for Success and Wealth

Your subconscious mind plays a crucial role in shaping your life. It is always working to manifest your thoughts and beliefs into reality. By understanding how your mind functions and using it consciously, you can achieve the results you desire.

Building a New Reality

Your subconscious mind is constantly reproducing according to your habitual mental patterns. By feeding it with positive and true premises, you can change your thoughts and create a new reality. Remember, your subconscious mind is always lifeward and tends to move towards what you affirm consciously.

Overcoming Failure

Lack of confidence and excessive effort are the principal reasons for failure. Instead of trying to use mental coercion or forcing yourself to achieve results, focus on getting your subconscious mind to accept your idea or request. By feeling the reality of your desired outcome and having faith and confidence, your subconscious will take over and answer for you.

Using Imagination

Imagination is a powerful tool for manifesting your desires. Picture yourself in the desired state and imagine the emotional accompaniment of that freedom. Avoid conflict between your desires and imagination by maintaining a simple, childlike faith. Discipline your imagination to create a mental image of the fulfilled desire and feel its reality.

The Law of Reversed Effort

When your desires and imagination are in conflict, your imagination invariably gains the upper hand. Mental effort is often self-defeating and leads to the opposite of what is desired. Avoid mental coercion and replace it with a sense of deep conviction and acceptance that your desire is already fulfilled.

Using Your Subconscious Mind for Wealth

Your subconscious mind holds the key to your wealth and abundance. Convince your subconscious that you will always have plenty and some to spare. Build into your mentality the idea of wealth and abundance, and know that wealth is simply a subconscious conviction. Repeat affirmations such as “wealth” and “success” to impress these ideas upon your subconscious mind.

Avoiding Mental Conflict

When affirming wealth and success, make sure you truly feel the reality of these statements. If you feel like you’re lying to yourself, your subconscious will reject the affirmation. Instead, make specific and believable statements that do not contradict your subconscious mind’s impression. For example, say “I’m being prospered in all of my interests” instead of “I am wealthy.”

Attracting Positive Conditions

Avoid signing blank checks with your negative statements and fears about the future. Your subconscious mind takes these fears and negative statements as instructions, attracting negative conditions to you. Stay positive and focus on the reality you desire.

As you request and proceed in your own way, obstacles, delays, lack, and limitations are brought to your life. Your subconscious mind magnifies whatever you deposit in it. Every morning, deposit thoughts of prosperity, success, wealth, and peace. Dwell upon these concepts and keep your mind busy with them as often as possible. These constructive thoughts will find their way into your subconscious mind and bring forth abundance and prosperity.

If nothing happened, it could be because you indulged in fear thoughts afterward and neutralized the good you had affirmed. Just like when you place a seed in the ground, you do not dig it up, you let it take root and grow. So, if you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, stop and replace them with constructive statements.

Your subconscious mind is never short of ideas. There are an infinite number of ideas ready to flow into your conscious mind and appear as cash in your pocketbook in countless ways. Your wealth is never truly dependent on bonds, stocks, or money in the bank. These are only symbols. If you convince your subconscious mind that wealth is yours and that it is always circulating in your life, you will always have it regardless of the form it takes.

There are people who claim that they are always trying to make ends meet. They seem to have a great struggle to meet their obligations. In many instances, their conversation runs along the vein of condemning those who have succeeded in life and who have raised their heads above the crowd. The quickest way to cause wealth to take wings and fly away is to criticize and condemn others who have more wealth than you.

Envy is the cause of the lack of wealth in the lives of many. To overcome this emotion, rejoice in the prosperity of others and wish for them greater wealth. By doing so, you neutralize the negative thoughts in your mind and cause an even greater measure of wealth to flow to you.

If you are worried and critical about someone who you claim is making money dishonestly, cease worrying about him. The law of mind takes care of him. Be careful not to criticize him because the block or obstacle to wealth is in your own mind. Get on good mental terms with everyone and destroy that mental block.

As you go to sleep at night, repeat the word “wealth” quietly, easily, and feelingly. Do this over and over again. Allow yourself to sleep with the one word “wealth”. You should be amazed at the result. Wealth should flow to you in avalanches of abundance.

To attract the money you need, multiply the following statements: “I like money. I love it. I use it wisely, constructively, and judiciously. Money is constantly circulating in my life. I release it with joy, and it returns to me multiplied in a wonderful way. It is good and very good. Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance. I use it for good only, and I am grateful for my good and for the riches of my mind.”

Money is a symbol of exchange. It means freedom from want, beauty, luxury, abundance, and refinement. Cleanse your mind of all negative beliefs about money. Do not regard money as evil or filthy. See it as a positive and necessary tool for a full, happy, and prosperous life.

Remember that you are here to lead the abundant life and be happy, radiant, and free. You have the right to be rich and to fully develop and express yourself along all lines. Surround yourself with beauty and luxury. You should always have a surplus. Your desire to be rich is a desire for a fuller, happier, and more wonderful life.

If you do not have money constantly circulating in your life, there is something radically wrong with you. You need to change your mindset and develop the belief that money is always flowing freely in your life. By doing so, you will attract everything necessary for your financial success.

Instead of silently or openly condemning money, embrace it and appreciate its positive aspects. Remember that money is not evil or filthy. It is simply a symbol of exchange and a tool for economic health. Change your attitude towards money and attract the wealth you need.

By using your subconscious mind and developing the right attitude towards money, you can attract the wealth you desire. Just like a seed attracts everything necessary for its unfolding, you can attract the means to achieve your financial goals. Visualize, feel, and believe in the reality of your desires, and your subconscious mind will bring them to pass.

Do not focus exclusively on money and neglect other aspects of your life. Strive for a balanced life that includes peace of mind, harmony, love, joy, and perfect health. By maintaining a positive mindset and using the powers of your mind, you can achieve both financial success and personal fulfillment.
