Your
Subconscious Mind
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate. - CG Jung
Key Principles
Most of Your
Thoughts and Behaviors
Are Not Consciously Chosen
When it comes to your brain's ability to process information, your conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg.
The conscious mind can not outwill or overpower the subconscious mind for long periods of time. We will always eventually default to our programing.
The processing power of the subconscious mind vastly outweighs that of the conscious mind, but we can recruit the conscious mind's ability to recognize patterns, learn tools, and apply strategies to intentionally reprogram
the subconscious mind thanks to neuroplasticity.
We think 60-70 thousand thoughts per day, and 50 thousand of them are the same thoughts we had yesterday. Our subconscious programs give rise to automatic responses to situations that remind us of old ones from earlier experiences.
Our subconscious thoughts and beliefs
(along with our unmet needs)
are the major factors that determine how we feel and behave moment by moment.

Your Subconscious Conditioning Can
Hold You Back
There is an old story from India that illustrates how our thoughts & beliefs get programed:
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
You Can
Reprogram
Your Subconscious Mind
We absorb most of our mental and belief programing from early childhood. We can also be programmed in our adult lives through our experiences, especially in our romantic relationships.
Our programming comes from:
1. what we see modeled to us
2. what we hear repeatedly
3. first hand emotionally charged experiences
The subconscious mind is programed with repetition and emotion via the brain's Reticular Activating System (RAS).
Located in the brainstem, RAS is part of what is known as the "reptilian brain". It serves the function of forming deep associations related to fear/danger, safety/survival, among other things.
The important thing to know about the RAS is that it was programmed by your early childhood and other life experiences through repetition and emotion. And it can be reprogramed with intention by the same means.

"...while I can remember that these [traumatic] events happened, there’s no longer the ‘sticky’ tie or large emotional reactions. In fact, most of the time I have to try hard to remember the events surrounding the experience or even what my triggers were after the event. I’m grateful to Rachel for her understanding of early wounds and the impact on the subconscious; it has truly made a wonderful difference in my life."
