How to Influence Your Unconscious Mind
Using Brainwave Entrainment
As you probably
know, your unconscious mind is a pretty powerful son of
a gun. By learning to influence it, you can make some pretty drastic
breakthroughs... Now.
Even if you don't realise it, your unconscious mind pretty much runs
the show in your life. It helps determine how much money you earn, how
happy and successful you are, and what you believe to be true about the
world.
It affects the amount of sales you make; how much you trust your
partner; what you see as "your place" in the world; how much you smoke
and drink and get wasted; and a whole lot more.
In short, your unconscious mind dramatically shapes your experience of
life. But - the good news is, with a bit of time and practice it's
totally possible to influence and reprogram your unconscious mind.
In this article I'll show you some of the best ways I've learned to
influence the unconscious mind, so you can open yourself to experience
more success in pretty much any given field.
If you've ever felt like it's "impossible" to make any more progress, I
can pretty much guarantee that the most effective way to make big
breakthroughs is by influencing your unconscious mind. Let's get to
it...
How NOT to Influence Your Unconscious Mind
Before we get started, it's worth pointing out that it's pretty
difficult to change our unconscious by simply consciously "thinking
different thoughts".
The main problem with this is that our unconscious mind is, er,
UNconscious.
This means that simply *consciously* wishing to be richer or more
confident is kinda like giving instructions to a Dutchman in a regional
dialect of Mandarin… It just won't make much sense.
Instead, we have to learn how to communicate in the language of the
unconscious mind…
How to Influence The Unconscious Mind
(1)
Learn the Language of the Unconscious
The first way to influence your unconscious is by speaking to it in a
language it understands. This isn't English, or German, or French - or
whatever other language you speak.
Instead, the
language of the unconscious mind comprises EMOTIONS & IMAGES.
Simply put, when you experience a lot of positive emotions,
super-charged with big, bright pictures of you "succeeding", you will
have a far greater chance of influencing your unconscious programming.
This may sound a little
strange, but it's actually how you programmed yourself in the first
place.
For example, "bad" programs and beliefs are often installed when we
experience powerful negative emotions, coupled with big, bold pictures.
So, when you got publicly rejected by a potential partner growing up,
and this *really* embarrassed
you, and you replayed the "movie" of what happened over and over again
in your mind… congratulations! You successfully programmed yourself to
be embarrassed of asking for a date!
Conversely, if you made a really good sale one day which made you feel amazingly powerful, and you
replayed what happened in your mind again and again just because it
*felt* so awesome… it's likely that you now see yourself as a
competent, successful salesperson… and thus you'll make more sales and
more money.
So, the key to
influencing your unconscious mind is to feed it really compelling,
bright pictures of you at your best - and really *feel* as if your
make-believe world is the truth!
One note of warning - our unconscious is just like Switzerland - in
that it's neutral, and just "sits on the fence".
That means if you speak to it with negative emotions and scary
pictures, it won't stop and say "oh no, this isn't good, I won't accept
this" - instead it will act on your every command.
So, be sure to speak to it as often as possible in an encouraging,
compassionate way. Don't dwell on past failures.
Instead, keep your past (and future!) successes front of mind. If this
is hard, focus on what you want from life instead. Get excited about
what the future holds for you. Feel the feelings of success, and over
time your unconscious mind will dramatically change.
Don't dwell on crap experiences. Dwell on great ones. Or make some up.
There's a whole body of research which suggests that our unconscious
mind has real difficulty telling the difference between a "real" memory
and a vividly imagined "fake" memory… So use this glitch in the Matrix
to your advantage by imagining massive success for yourself - and your
unconscious will believe that you have already achieved it!
If you haven't tried visualisation consciously before, watch this how
to visualize video to get started.
If you do nothing else in this article, make sure you try this. Just by
feeling more positive emotions and visualising empowering pictures you
will make giant leaps to achieving your goals. Seriously. But if you
*really* want to make an impact, read on for a few more tips…

Go Deeper
One thing worth bearing in mind is that our unconscious mind is a bit
hidden from us.
This is a good thing, because if it wasn't we'd drive ourselves crazy
with all the random thoughts we process in a given day / week / month,
etc, and we'd never get anything worthwhile done. Our beliefs would
change 100 times a day!
So, how do we access the unconscious mind more readily?
Well, we pay a visit to the unconscious mind - which is found in the
realms of alpha
brain waves.
In case you're not up to
speed on brain frequencies, here's a quick synopsis:
Basically, at the moment your brain is operating with beta waves. These
are fast and active and allow you to think and multitask and access
memories, etc. There's lots going on. Effectively, you're awake and
lucid. Congratulations.
When you're asleep and dreaming, your brain is accessing theta
waves. These are slow, so slow in fact that we find it very hard to
remember what's happened consciously. This is why it's so easy to
forgot dreams we were having moments ago.
Anyway, bang in the
middle of beta and theta waves are alpha waves. This is the "portal"
between the dream world and the waking world. If you've ever
experienced that lovely warm, cosy place just as you are dropping off
for a nap, boom! That's alpha for you.
And the good news for you is that lots of impressively titled brain
experts believe that alpha brain waves provide a "door to the unconscious".
So, in short, if we can communicate with our unconscious using positive
emotions and bright pictures… AND do this while in the realm of alpha
brain waves, we're bloody laughing.
So how do you access
alpha waves?
Well, you can either learn to meditate (highly recommended).
Simply lay back, put on your binaural beats, breathe deeply, let go…
and then start to imagine yourself performing at the top of your game.
Feel the positive emotions. Repeat.
For best results, spend a few minutes each day in this state. And then…

Chill Out!
My final tip for influencing the unconscious mind is to relax and trust
your unconscious to hook you up.
This can admittedly be tricky, but it's essential for success.
You can't micro-manage the unconscious. It's UNconscious for a reason!
Stressing about what's happening is a very conscious activity. Don't
bother with it.
Instead, spend a few minutes each morning or night (or both!) vividly
imagining what you want, whilst feeling the positive emotions.
Then… let go.
Put it out of your mind! Be present in the moment. Funnily enough, our
unconscious resources are only available to us NOW. If we're off in our
heads stressing about what's happening, we'll jam our unconscious…
which is no good whatsoever.
By all means create a healthy, positive expectation of what might
happen in the future. "I'm going to smash my sales target this month",
or "I'm gonna meet an awesome person soon" are all fine, as long as you
let go of attachment to the outcome. Don't allow neurosis and stress to
enter your mind, just let yourself believe that something big is going
on behind the scenes.
Don't undo all your good efforts by stressing that it's "not working
quickly enough". Chill out, and you'll make massive gains in no time.
Recap
To recap - use strong positive emotions and big bright pictures to
"speak the language" of the unconscious mind.
Use meditation or binaural beats to better access the unconscious mind
and influence it faster.
Spend a few minutes a day doing this, and then LET GO. Forget about it.
Within a few days or weeks you'll catch yourself thinking in totally
new ways… and then when you *take action* with these new unconscious
beliefs, you'll inevitably get more of what you want.
