Jill Mattson – Wouldn’t you love to always be in a good mood, beaming with robust health and energy? Imagine a state of energy, which elevates awareness, consciousness and provides improvements on all levels.

When you abide in harmonious, enlightening energies for a sustained period of time, you make better choices and strengthen your emotional balance, despite challenging circumstances. Such positive energies open intuition and awaken psychic abilities. Such high energies strengthen your own personal power, while keeping your body healthy into old age. There are countless benefits. This balanced and positive energy is something everyone wants – no matter what their beliefs or religion is.

In order to be in such a balance and positive state, we must heal part of ourselves that we steadfastly ignore: our subconscious mind – the hidden realms within! You do not reach this high-energy-state, without harmonizing and mastering your subconscious mind. Sages throughout the ages reflect how difficult it is to “know thyself,” but how do you do this – when you don’t even know what is hidden?

Have you ever overreacted? Ever been surprised that something upset you, when it made no sense? My best friend is deathly afraid of spiders, yet she never had a bad experience with them. Where did her spider terror come from? Recall when you avoided someone. Was it because on a deep level you felt angry or hurt? Has your voice changed, indicating caution without any logical reason? These are all hidden communications from the subconscious mind.

I discovered first-hand the operating patterns of our subconscious mind by teaching people to play the violin. Initially, learning to play violin demands more commitment than is required for other instruments, such as guitar or piano. To play a single note, a student must simultaneously control at least six skills.

Violin students perform all skill areas simultaneously, but they consciously concentrate only on one. The skills, that the students are not paying attention to, go “underground” in their subconscious minds. For example, while a student concentrates on bowing, he plays out of tune.

Without any awareness, beginning violinists play slow notes faster and fast notes slower. They average the length of time for both. The same is true for dynamics: beginners play all notes at the same volume, with no variation between loud and soft. Without awareness students place their fingers equidistant apart on the strings, causing them to play out of tune. The brain subconsciously averages the violinist’s responses.

Beginners stop bowing, while they think about what finger to place down. They are not aware of the silence they create, altering the music’s rhythm. The brain deems note-recognition more important than timing. The brain stops activities so the person can concentrate on what the subconscious mind deems most important. I have never met a student who is aware of these subconscious default processes. They just conclude that playing the violin is hard.

Our mind, like a computer, operates programs in the background while we focus on one thing. Likewise, many subconscious emotions run in the background, affecting our health and behavior. When we get a virus on our computer, it insidiously and quietly works in the background, while we carry on…unaware.

So it is in our lives, as the impact of negative emotions can quietly cause us to crash, physically, emotionally and behaviorally. In order to rehabilitate these hidden catastrophes, we need to be aware of them. You do not eliminate negative feelings by ignoring them. Only after you identify and feel them, are you able to release them.

It is not only unpleasant feelings that we wish to deny that find their way into our subconscious minds, but also routine thoughts and feelings that we experience all day long.

How do we know when our subconscious mind is directing us? Here are some examples of when our subconscious mind calls the shots:

♦ People unknowingly project their subliminal feelings onto others. For example, a habitual liar is quick to expose another liar, and an angry man is drawn to one who picks a fight. A person withdraws, not allowing anyone to get close, while he perceives that others have abandoned him. We miss the connection, when our own feelings (our own frequencies) wind up in our perceptions of others.

♦ We clothe dark feelings in an acceptable light. For example, anger is often disguised as a righteous reaction. The conscious mind is not ready to take responsibility for its anger.

♦ Subconscious expectations set up interpersonal booby traps. We do not acknowledge or voice our expectations, yet are disappointed when the invisible goals are not met.

♦ Our unconscious feelings can trigger other people’s behavior. For example, Bob believes that he is “no good” and radiates this feeling. Those nearby feel this energy, subconsciously pick up on it and act accordingly. Subtly, Bob conditioned others to treat him with low regard.

♦ A person is rarely aware that his ego directs a situation, although this happens often. When we are not conscious of it, our ego is extraordinarily hard to manage. Our ego is invisible to us, but not to everyone else.

It is difficult to know ourselves from the inside out.

Just like second-hand smoke inflicts damage on those nearby, so do our toxic subconscious emotions. Yet we steadfastly believe that we can hide our negativity, without any notice or impact on others.
