TAMING THE NEGATIVE VOICE WITHIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Note<\/strong>:\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 For the purpose of this article, the terms \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153unconscious\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 and \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153subconscious\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 mind are interchangeable and refer to the parts of the mind that are not conscious.)<\/p>\n

This is the second in a series of articles on the subconscious mind, the power it has and how we can access it to utilize its power.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Whether you are a coach, a client, or somebody interested in improving your life, this article will be of interest to you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that we know how powerful the subconscious brain is, wouldn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t it be amazing if we could tap into it?\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This IS possible!<\/p>\n

I\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2m sure that you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re aware of the little voice in your mind.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This is the non-stop voice that chats to you all day long, often saying the same things over and over.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately for most of us, the majority of what this voice says is negative and fear-based.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This little voice is connected to the ego.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It tells us things like, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153what do you think you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re doing?\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2,\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153What makes you think that you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re so great?\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 , or \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153You know that you can\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t do that!\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2<\/p>\n

Meditation<\/strong> – These subconscious loops, that run all day long, stop us from doing what we\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re ultimately capable of and prevent us from being the truly inspired selves that we were meant to be.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 By meditating, you will be able to slow down or quiet this voice and this will allow space for the more inspired\/creative voice to enter.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The word \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2inspiration\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 means \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153in spirit\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2.<\/p>\n

When we meditate, we alter the brain wave patterns to alpha or theta states.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 In these states of calm and focused attention, we open up the communication between the conscious and the subconscious mind.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Meditation has also been shown to increase serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour in many ways.<\/p>\n

One very simple way to meditate is to slow your breathing down to about 6 breaths per minute.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 To make it easier to concentrate on your breathing and quiet that internal voice, breathe in deeply to the count of 3, and exhale for counts 4 through 8.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This slightly uneven cadence forces us to focus on our breathing and that in turn helps to quiet the voice.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 By doing this for as little as 15 minutes per day, you will start to notice changes in your life.<\/p>\n

If you are new to meditating, you will find that you will lose track of the counting and will start to think of other things after only a few minutes.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This is normal and happens to all beginners.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Simply bring your attention back to your breathing.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Over the course of a week or so, the breathing and focus will become more natural and you will start to notice that you are becoming more aware and are receiving more \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153inspired\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 thoughts.<\/p>\n
