“The subconscious area of the mind is a unplumbed reservoir of creative insight and intuition” – John K. Williams

The subconscious mind carries infinite wisdom and knowledge, accumulated from a lifetime of learning. When you did not yet know how to speak, your subconscious mind was already absorbing information like a sponge. A myriad of detail that would baffle the conscious mind are stored within the subconscious.

By learning how to access the realm of the subconscious, any problem can be solved with minimal conscious effort.

“Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.” – Napoleon

Most renown scientists, writers, composers and historical figures attribute their success to the power of the subconscious. They all maintain that the solutions appeared, not when they were working on the problem consciously, but when they were engaged in some mindless activity. The people who frequently tap into the subconscious for answers, know there is no such a thing as impossible.

Accessing the Power of the Subconscious

There are a few simple methods that will activate the problem solving wheels of the subconscious. Once you know how to use them efficiently, you have the potential to become your own oracle on demand.

Sleeping, walking, painting, playing an instrument; or any kind of physical activity that does not require concentrated thinking, is effective for shutting off the conscious mind. The subconscious, however, is always working – whether you are asleep or awake.

The 2 Methods I Use Frequently:

1. Ask the question and sleep on it!

This may seem ridiculously simple, but it works like a charm. Any problem, that you think is impossible or just cannot solve consciously, can be left to the subconscious mind to work out at night.

Oftentimes, the answers appear out of the blue, when we’re not focused on the problems or questions consciously. The process, however, is always started by the conscious mind, and then handed over to the subconscious to work out.

Repeating the question is necessary, in order to instill it deep enough into the conscious mind, for the subconscious to take a note of it. The reason why repetition is the mother of all learning, is because it drills it into the subconscious mind. (This is also why addictions are so hard to break).

Think of your conscious mind as the program, and the subconscious as the software. All the rules, behaviors and actions are programmed from the software, but carried out by the program. Your subconscious controls your conscious mind.. unless of course you learn how to harness the power of the subconscious and make it work for your, consciously.

Another thing to know, when asking your subconscious mind for answers, is that you need to use will power. Repeating the question alone will work, eventually, but using the power of your will speeds things up considerably. This sends out the message of urgency to your subconscious, letting it know you really need the help.

Whenever I’ve used this method, nearly each time, I’ve received the answer the following day, and frequently via a dream.

2. Spontaneous writing

To use this method all you do is write – without any censorship. Just scribble down all the thoughts, words, and associations that come to mind regarding the question. Do not think or process yet – just write. Whatever comes out is fine, do not try to make sense of it at the time, just let it stream.

Then, perhaps several hours later or even the next day, review everything you’ve written and derive some sense of it. The solution may come from an angle you were not expecting.

You may have heard of automatic writing. Spontaneous writing is not that different from automatic writing. Both entail shutting off the conscious mind to let in the stream of the subconscious. My grandmother, who is not a medium or a psychic of any sort, once wrote an entire book with automatic writing. Somehow, she was able to shut off her conscious mind and receive information about distant family lineage, that she had no way of knowing, consciously at least. When you’ve experienced the power of the subconscious first hand, there is no more reason to be spooked out by this phenomena.

I’ve written some of my best sentences when I wasn’t thinking straight. Most poets and writers use spontaneous writing or writing subconsciously, and can tell you that it is the only way to come up with a masterpiece.. Provided of course, that they are aware of the process.

Regular journaling is also an effective tool for receiving information from the subconscious. When we journal, we are usually relaxed and not really trying to work out a problem consciously. This is helpful for unleashing the hidden stream of knowledge.

You Already Have the Answer

Whatever the dilemma you are faced with, know that you already have the answer. All you need to do is draw it out from the subconscious. Most people do not know that they hold this vast storehouse of knowledge within, and therefore do not look to it for answers, at least not consciously.

Once you learn how to use the subconscious mind frequently, suddenly your life becomes a lot easier and you are not really faced when problems arise. No more hours of racking your brain – a major stress relief!

The answer from the subconscious may come in a dream, so pay special attention to your dreams, after you’ve put out the question from your conscious mind to your subconscious. Writing your dreams down, as soon as you wake up, is useful for remembering and making sense of them.

You may also stumble upon the answer “by accident” while working on something menial and unrelated.

(By the way, to effectively use the power of the subconscious, you must have faith in its existence and abilities.)
