WHAT IS THE MIND? The "mind" is an abstract concept that describes the complex system of faculties involved in thought, emotion, consciousness, memory, and decision-making.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONSCIOUS MIND AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND?

The conscious and subconscious minds are two interconnected parts of our overall mental processing, each with distinct roles, capabilities, and levels of awareness.

The main distinction lies in awareness and function: the conscious mind is where you experience your current thoughts and make active decisions, while the subconscious mind operates automatically, handling involuntary bodily functions, storing memories, and running habits without direct awareness.

FACT: WE ONLY USE 12% OF OUR BRAIN (THIS IS THE CONSCIOUS MIND). THE OTHER 88% IS OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

THE HUMAN MIND - THEORY OF MIND

HOW THEY INTERACT

The conscious and subconscious minds work in tandem, but often have different priorities.

The Conscious Mind as the Navigator: Your conscious mind sets goals, makes plans, and directs attention. It's the part of you that decided to read this information right now.
The Subconscious Mind as the Engine Room: Your subconscious mind runs the "programs" to achieve those goals based on its vast database of memories, beliefs, and learned behaviors.

INFLUENCE ON OERCEPTION & BEHAVIOR

Shapes Beliefs and Attitudes: Stores core beliefs, values, and self-concept ("master program"), which act as filters through which you perceive the world.
Guides Decision-Making: Influences over 90% of daily decisions and behaviors through intuition, biases, and learned patterns, often before conscious awareness.
Ensures Survival and Safety: Its primary role is to keep you safe by scanning for potential physical or psychological threats based on past negative experiences (e.g., categorizing a situation as threatening if a similar past event elicited negative emotions).
Maintains Homeostasis (Mental & Physical): Works to keep the mind and body in a state of balance or equilibrium, making you feel uncomfortable when you attempt to significantly alter established behavioral patterns or step outside your comfort zone.
Processes Trauma: Stores intense or repressed traumatic memories as implicit memories, which can influence current feelings and behaviors without conscious understanding.

HIGHER LEVEL FUNCTIONS

Fosters Creativity and Inspiration: Contributes to breakthroughs in creativity, imagination, and problem-solving, often providing "aha" moments when the conscious mind is relaxed.
Generates Dreams: Stays active during sleep and is responsible for producing dreams, often communicating through symbols, metaphors, and images.
Acts as a "Gatekeeper": Filters and modulates the flow of information between the conscious and unconscious minds, deciding what information becomes accessible to conscious thought.

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

A trained hypnotherapist guides the individual into a relaxed state through breathing exercises, imagery, and verbal cues. The therapist then uses the client's suggestions to address specific issues, such as anxiety, phobias, behaviors, physical problems, and unwanted habits. The individual remains in control throughout the entire process and can exit the hypnotic state at any time. Individuals usually see a change in their issues within a few sessions.
