Introducing Subconscious Healing To The Healthcare Public

Subconscious healing has as its basis a couple of simple principles, and these principles complement each other perfectly. First, that while we generally think of diseases as delivered to us by pathogens, many diseases either originate from or are facilitated by the misapplication of the patient's own mind. Secondly, the aspect of our minds that can produce such wondrous effects as making us healthy cannot possibly reside in the consciousness, but within the subconscious.

Freudian psychotherapy is what most of us imagine when we think of the unconscious, whether regarding it as the object of practice or as the subject of theorizing. But this part of us has always been hinted at by literary artists ad philosophers down through the ages. Certainly, every major religion, and before the major religions the local witches, druids and shamans all made subtle use of the human unconscious.

The unconscious is the aspect of the mind that is independent of our conscious control. The most obvious example of this is breathing during sleep. Like most waking breathing but more dramatically, breathing during sleep acts outside our conscious control even though controlled, ultimately, by the brain.

Conventional and most alternative treatments alike effect the patient's system through chemical bombardment meant to inspire the body to heal. The only difference between conventional and alternative is the the former's pills took longer to study and prepare, are more thoroughly licensed, and cost more. The true alternative isn't one that processes herbs and sells them as pills, but one which teaches us to unleash our own human mind's almost occult capacities upon an ailment.

While there are many subconscious healing traditions from around the world, they do have much in common just because they each must address the same organism, humankind. It helps if the patient can manage an attitude of not mere peace of mind but true gratitude toward one's blessings. It might be difficult to generate gratitude while fighting an illness, especially an illness so pernicious it inspired the sufferer to seek outside conventional medical science.

Gratitude is important in healing because to the unconscious there is no such thing as negation. If beset by an infection, the first thing one might naturally do is to think hostile thoughts toward it, in a sense modeling with our emotions the hostile action a chemical treatment might take. However, the unconscious only knows that it is paying attention to something, that energy is being directed there, not whether that attention is desirous of or averse toward a particular outcome.

This is no secret to those who have attempted to attract wealth but met failure because they couldn't get their minds off the poverty they want to avoid. The same applies to our health, where we strengthen our immune systems with good cheer and gratitude, making our bodies healthier generally. Further, this upbeat attitude is more helpful when it comes to enduring disease, not just curing it.

There are many roads to subconscious healing, and though any "alternative therapy" strikes the public as new, it actually has ancient roots. Mantras and visualizations have been used to relax and to heal since prehistoric times. It is unsurprising that the public now turns inward to tap our innate power to heal.
