Subconscious Mind Power - A Means To An End

By Graham J Milne

Do you remember the movie, "Field of Dreams, with Kevin Costner? In the movie, he hears the mantra, "If you build it, they will come." You may not know it, but you have your own "field of dreams." It's your subconscious mind. With your subconscious mind, if you "think" it, it will come. What will come? Whatever you want, truly.

You have the power to create the life you want, to change who you are, to change whatever you think is missing or inadequate into something perfect, all through the use of your subconscious mind. It's truly a powerful and beautiful thing, and can heal, transcend current circumstances, make you feel good; or make you feel bad. The subconscious mind, truly, has the power to completely change our world if we take control of it.

If you're skeptical, you're not alone. However, give me a chance to show you with a few examples just how powerful your mind is. One of my favorite examples is actually from the medical field, and works on a scientific basis. It's been documented time and time again, actually, and it's called the "placebo effect." The medical field has coined the term "placebo effect" to denote a specific type of effect. Oftentimes, for example, this term is used during medical trials. The control group is given a "placebo," which is an inert substance that has no medical benefit whatsoever as a drug might give. It's used as a counterpoint to the other group, which gets the actual medication. This is to clearly prove any benefit (or detriment) the drug itself might give. However, both groups are told what the medication is for and what it should do for them, and neither group knows which pill they've gotten; placebo or actual medication.

Most studies have shown at least some of what is called the "placebo effect." That is, at least some of the people in the placebo group have shown "effects" from the "drug," even though they've actually gotten a placebo. That is, their subconscious minds decided that they had gotten the drug and produced some of the same benefits and side effects as they were told the actual medication would give them. Simply, these patients believed they had gotten the medication, so their subconscious minds produced the medication's effects to at least some degree.

Think about this in your own situation. Perhaps you haven't been involved in any medical trials, but when you go to the doctor, are you told a specific medication is going to give you side effects? If the doctor minimizes side effects to you, don't be surprised. A doctor knows how powerful one's mind is, and may actually think telling you will cause side effects; through the power of your subconscious mind. Therefore, a doctor may minimize these negative things, in the hopes that you won't experience them. Suggesting them, in other words, may increase your chances of having side effects. And of course, they also want you to be compliant with taking the medication, so that's another reason to minimize the negative effects of the drug.

What do these two examples above prove? That the power of suggestion AND the power of the subconscious mind will give you a very powerful results. It works in the medical field, and it can work in your everyday life, too. Why can't you tap into this power and positively change your life? You can, with the power of suggestion; change the way your subconscious mind works by using it to your advantage.

You can use visualization to change the way you see things, too. Visualization is a very simple technique that really, really works. You can do this in a couple of different ways. Number one, close your eyes and visualize in your mind's eye what you want, seeing it as though it were right there in front of you.

Another way, and this is often used in conjunction with the first technique, is to create a physical picture. Let's say that what you want is a new car, find a picture of the car you want better yet, go get a picture taken of you with the car. Hang that picture up where you can see it every day; the more you see it, the more the vision is imprinted in your mind your subconscious mind the more power it has. The subconscious mind power that you have will make that vision a reality.

People have known about the power of the subconscious mind for many years, and many have used it to their benefit. Only recently, though, has science begun to understand how very real this process is.

A scientific field called quantum physics has shown that matter is no longer solid at the subatomic level and simply becomes pure energy. And, quantum physics has shown that the mind can actually manipulate this energy. In fact, quantum physics has actually proven that the energy itself does not exist UNLESS it is observed.

What does that mean? Matter or energy exists because it is observed, and for no other reason. It is the mind of the observer that makes the matter exist, and not the other way around. In short, matter; and reality itself; is actually a creation of the mind. This is truly "subconscious mind power" at its essence.

In fact this is what the ancient religions have been saying for many thousands of years and with new understandings in quantum physics, modern science is at last beginning to catch up. Whatever your spiritual belief may be, there is no denying that the science of quantum physics works.

Wouldn't you like to give this a try? Change your life just by thinking about it. Harness the power of your subconscious mind and use it to your advantage instead of simply being at its whim. For the next week, visualize or use affirmations to positively change your life and see what happens. Start small at first so that you can prove to yourself that it works, and then ultimately go on to create the life you want; all with the power of your subconscious mind.

How To Find Awesome Acoustic Songs

By Aaron Wilding

There is no doubt that acoustic music has came onto the scene and made an impact on the music world, radio, internet, and pop culture. Acoustic songs are different than other types of music in many ways. Although the genre is fairly new compared to other types of music, listeners have responded, and it is clear that acoustic songs can survive up against fierce competitors.

Today, acoustic music has developed into a genre of its own. Its sometimes hard to even categorize where it fits in the scheme of mellow, indie, alternative, lounge, folk or many other favorite genres. Although they may be viewed as related, there are some significant differences in respective genres.

One of the first things you should think about when writing an acoustic song is what you are trying to get across. What do you want you audience to relate to? One of the highlights of the best acoustic songs are that they convey an emotion through the lyrics more than the other aspects of the song. Knowing what you want to write about is a great starting point for a song.

From there, you can go in a few different directions. Since acoustic music is so simple, you might want to think about coming up with the music first. Some acoustic artists come up with the lyrics first, then set them to music. Coming up with the music first can kill two birds with one stone - even if you don't have the lyrics, you know how they need to match the music.

Bars and coffee shops are famous for great acoustic music. Acoustic artists are looked for to provide a relaxing, yet stimulating atmosphere. This could be accomplished through a up close and personal performance, or through slight magnification of the sound through speakers and amplifiers.

Radio stations are also coming to catch the wave of acoustic songs. Many radio stations in large cities pride themselves on playing the best acoustic songs in the area. Listeners have begun to develop a serious passion for the genre. One of the best things about having acoustic artists at bay for a radio station is they can easily come in and play a life show for listeners.

Combining the two can also be a challenge. When you have lyrics you feel comfortable with, and a riff or two you really like, you are well on your way to coming up with a great acoustic song. Don't give up. Slight adjustments may be needed, and even some more major changes might take place. Be flexible.

It is true that acoustic songs have taken a special slice of the music genre pie. The great thing about music is that all different people relate to all different types of music. Acoustic music is no different. The fans are loyal. The artists are passionate. Acoustic music is here to stay.

Happier After A Smoking Cessation

By Ingolf Ymer

Smokers have more fun. This is a common accepted fact, which recently have been busted as a myth by British scientists. More than 70% of the 879 ex-smokers who were interviewed in the survey, answered that they were happier as ex-smokers.

Out of the 879 ex-smokers, who took part in the survey, almost 70% felt that they were happier after they had quit smoking. Less than 4% were less happy and about 26% felt no change in their mood.

The result is obvious: it is difficult to find ex-smokers who are sorry they quit smoking, while it is pretty easy to find the opposite: many smokers regret that they started to begin with.

Quitting smoking might prolong your life, but loss of life quality is inevitable - at least this is a common myth. Rather, ex-smokers actually can have the cake AND eat it too: quitting smoking boosts self confidence and mental energy, and the ex-smokers receives widespread recognition for their achievement. Ex-smokers are on the winning team.

Focus on life quality rather than health

When trying to motivate people to quit smoking, focusing on the health benefits is far more efficient that pointing fingers and trying to scare people to quit.

Instead, we are developing new methods in which we dont to focus on diseases and health, but rather on the improved life quality, which freedom from smoke brings. The methods were developed from experiments with advice on smoking cessation for cancer patients. They were excited, partly because they felt that with a smoking cessation they themselves made a difference. Rather than being part of the problem, they were now part of the solution instead.

Better in time

The increased satisfaction is more pronounced, the longer the time that has passed since they quit smoking. But even with ex-smokers, where the smoking stop was stope new, it was still the majority who feel happier now. Younger ex-smokers was more excited after their cessation than older people. However it did not matter whether they were heavy smokers or only smoked a few cigarettes a day.

Believing in Mind Power - Surpassing Intelligence

By Alexander George

Do you believe in mind power like I do? If yes then you should agree with me that with the help of mind power we can achieve our goals and dreams in life, right? Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who never fully trust themselves and they set aside their power of mind.

However there are still many people that disagree to this belief and never realized how important mind power is. They don't understand how the power of mind works and just stay where they are, unsatisfied, unhappy and been facing many misfortunes. They don't trust mind power and they don't use this to fulfill their dreams and desires in life.

It would be useless if you argue with this people who complain about many things in their life, talking with their consecutive failures and so many misfortunes. It seems that it is the end of the world for them and they will never be successful like other entrepreneurs or business men/women.

The main factor that affects all this failures can be the reason of taking for granted the mind power. They don't let their mind work properly to help them. They lack trust with their capabilities and stay contented of the least things they could have. It is okay though to be contented of simple things that you can gain and earn but it would not be wrong too if you have dreams for your loved ones. If you can do something then why not go ahead and try it, who know you will become one many successful business men or women.

Well, mind power is not difficult to understand. Let us start from the basics. Our minds are capable of doing great things. They have to power to help us achieve our goals in life. They are hidden and just need to be awakened and be useful to humans.

After knowing what you want, focus on that dream and concentrate. Know the needs of that dream and work on that. Do not give up or lose hope if during your first tries there will be imperfections.

Another thing about mind power, you will not achieve something if you are not serious about your dream and if you do not focus to your goals and desires. Go find a direction and know your priorities. Be responsible enough to work things out with concentration and eagerness to fulfill your task. Life is not about being easy and worthless; you have to exert effort and hard work.

Successful entrepreneurs started from scratch, started from nothing but because they use their mind power, look where they are now. Use them as your inspiration and a guide that will lead you to your dream. Believe in yourself that you will be successful like them and be patient enough to wait for your time. Each of us has mind power and all we need is just to have positive attitude. Attitude is defined as the person's feelings and moods towards things situations and circumstances. If you imply positive attitude, no doubt, you will see yourself shining, happy and contented.

There are many people unfortunately let negative attitudes rule them, this is because they lack concentration and motivation. They also have lots of distractions that become a conflict to their dream. Believe me, if you don't know how to resist temptation and distraction you will never achieve anything.

Finally, keep this in mind. There are no other real meanings behind mind power. Because this is already within use and will just naturally flow if you know how to use and control it. If you know how to get things done, then surely you ill achieve many things.
