Create Your Dream Life

What if you had the ability to harness the power of your mind? Regardless of life circumstances, you could activate your mind with positive intention to influence a different reality.

In Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest movie Inception, this concept is weaved together into a spellbinding sci-fi thriller where individuals encode ideas and thought patterns by hijacking their dreams. As much as this has been dramatised for the sake of Hollywood, it’s not far from the truth.

In Awakening to the Secret Code of Your Mind, Your Mind’s Journey to Inner Peace, I show how the power of your mind can be harnessed to shift perceived negative realities into ones that have meaning, purpose, and value.
Before I introduce to you some tools and techniques for you to perform your own “Inception” for a more meaningful life, it’s important to be aware that your mind is split into two distinct categories: the conscious and the subconscious.

The conscious mind perceives and is aware of its surroundings. It makes up 2 to 10 per cent of your reality and it’s the only mind that has a choice. This represents both your creative and logical aspects of your behaviour and empowers you through free will regardless of circumstances to find adjacent possibilities when navigating life’s adventurous journey.
The subconscious mind, on the other hand, is the part of our mind that reacts as a means of survival based upon protection, adaptation, and learning. The subconscious mind makes up 90 to 98 per cent of your reality and is specifically in charge of all of your body’s biological functions. Heart rate, respiration, inflammation, immunity, cellular regeneration, hormone balance, digestion and so on is regulated through subconscious control. If that wasn’t enough, the subconscious mind also effects your perception, as it’s the storehouse of all of your emotions, memories, and beliefs. Therefore, it impacts the way you think, feel, speak, and act influencing the health of your relationships. The subconscious mind is the mind that dreams. There is no choice in the subconscious mind – it merely re-acts – does the same act again and again and again until you have the consciousness to process short term memory into long term memory.

Similar to the movie Inception, Awakening to the Secret Code of Your Mind teaches a specific process to unlock the secret code of your mind. It’s a process that will help you to recognise when the subconscious mind is impacting your daily reality. And more importantly, it’s a process where you’ll learn how every symptom, stress, and disease has an emotional pattern of reaction stemming from the subconscious mind.

You can verify this by asking yourself, “Would I ever choose to create my life with any level of symptoms, stress, or disease.” The answer is always a discerning “No!” However, if you wouldn’t choose to create your life with symptoms, stress, or disease and you’re continuing to experience them, then where do they come from? You guessed it. What isn’t a conscious action of choice are subconscious reactions of protection and learning.

Here are a few simple techniques to transform the reactive patterns of your body and life into a life of powerful and meaningful action:

1.   SET YOUR INTENTION
Have you ever driven your car; boarded a plane, bus, or train without having a particular destination in mind? With the exception of vacations or the occasional need to “get lost,” the answer is generally no. When you’re going somewhere, it’s important to have a clear intention. To achieve optimal or “perfect” health, for example, you have to choose it. You can only be as healthy as you think it is possible to be. When you set an intention, you’re making a conscious choice, setting up the conditions for your subconscious mind to help manifest the reality your conscious mind is seeking to create. When an intention is sent, it impacts the physiology of the body.

2.    SEE YOURSELF IN CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY
One of life’s perplexing challenges is that you don’t get to choose what happens to you. The beauty, however, is that you do have a choice about how you respond to any and all situations. Your conscious mind allows you to change anything, regardless of circumstances. The symptoms or stress being expressed by your body and life are something that you’d never consciously choose. They stem from the subconscious mind and are reactive in nature. Once you’re able to recognise the significant difference between a conscious choice and a subconscious reaction, it will be a profound realisation that will forever change your life.

3.  USE “I AM”
Imagine as if you already are all that you want to be in life. By using the words “I am” before what it is that you want, for instance, “I am youthful and healthy”, you set an intention of where you want to be as if you’re already there; your subconscious mind has no choice – it begins the process of reacting from this place. See yourself living a life with your “I am” intention. How might doing so impact the health of your body or the relationships in your life? How do you feel emotionally envisioning your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions stemming from this intention? Most likely you’re on the way to becoming a more confident, more empowered and happier you.

Be prepared, as the future is now. Just as in the movie Inception you now have the ability to harness and guide the power of your mind to create an entirely new reality.
