Our thoughts have the power to effect our emotional state our behaviour and our responses to the world around us. We all experience and struggle with challenging events at various times during our lives. It may be the desire to be successful or to conquer a chronic illness, a phobia, or just a bad habit, no matter, you can acquire practical mental skills that can help you deal intelligently with your feelings, you have the ability to choose and transform all levels of your life. Whether a situation or experience is positive or negative it impacts on the internal processes and responses, generating both physiological and biochemical changes in the body. Within each of us there exists an intricate network that interacts with the immune, nervous and endocrine systems. A great deal of what happens internally goes on pretty much unnoticed; let me give you a few examples; What is it that maintains your heart and pumps blood around your body? How does your skeletal structure know what function is required to make each bone perform a motion of movement, to automatically produce the responses required to carry out tasks? What maintains our body temperature? How do the pupils of our eyes dilate and contract in response to light and dark or when we are attracted to others. As none of the above actions are performed consciously where do the commands come from? It suggests that there is a remarkable amount of internal communication going on outside of conscious awareness and that these commands are generated at some deeper level of our being often referred to as the subconscious. Many of us know little about the workings of a computer other than that it will process information we input. The mind is by far more complex and unique than any computer but it will process what we feed into it. Can you imagine then what happens if our conscious communication sends the wrong signal? How it can cause us to react with negative responses? When this happens subconscious internal commands make every effort to bring it to your conscious awareness to be confronted. No matter how small, suppressed emotions can have a profound effect on both physical and emotional wellbeing causing irrational fears, illness and even confusion about our direction in life.
