3 Steps to Unleash Your Subconscious Power for Ultimate Goal Success

3 Steps to Unleash Your powerful Subconscious for Ultimate Goal Success

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do, think the way you think, or react in certain ways to life’s challenges? The answer lies within your subconscious mind, a powerful ally waiting to be harnessed for your personal growth and transformation. In this blog, we’ll dig into the concept of the subconscious mind and its influence on your behavior, beliefs, and perceptions. You will learn a few easy steps to harness this hidden power to your own profound success, happiness, and fulfillment in your life.

The Subconscious Mind: Your Powerful Ally

Your subconscious mind is like the silent partner in your life’s journey. It operates beneath the surface, quietly influencing your thoughts, actions, and decisions, often without you even realizing it. Unlike your conscious mind, which is rational and analytical, your subconscious mind is emotional and intuitive. Its language is imagination and emotion. It’s the part of your mind where your beliefs, memories, habits, and desires reside.

Transforming Behavior, Shaping Beliefs, and Igniting Powerful Beliefs

The subconscious mind plays an important role in shaping who you are. It stores your past experiences, both positive and negative, and uses them as a reference for your current actions and reactions. For example, if you had a traumatic experience as a child, your subconscious mind may still hold onto the fear associated with that event, causing you to react strongly to similar situations as an adult. 

‘Can you believe it…we all journey through our adult life based on the beliefs and perceptions created upon us when we were children’ 

Moreover, your subconscious mind houses your core beliefs about yourself and the world. These beliefs, often formed during childhood, can be limiting or empowering. If you believe you’re not good enough or that success is beyond your reach, these deep-seated beliefs will become self-fulfilling prophecies, holding you back, actually sabotaging you, from your true potential.

Your perceptions is your reality 

Your subconscious mind also filters your perceptions of reality. It selects, from all the information available,only what reinforces your beliefs and perspectives and shields all the others. If your beliefs and perspectives of yourself are less than positive, this will create a feedback loop that keeps you stuck in certain patterns of thought and behavior. 

Not to fear:there is a solution

Unleash Your Hidden Potential: A 3-Step Journey to Empowerment

Now, here’s the exciting part: your subconscious mind is a treasure trunk full of untapped potential. Once you understand how it works and learn to communicate with it, you can reshape your thoughts, beliefs, and actions to align with your deepest desires and goals.

Step 1: Mindfulness Meditation – to move yourself into a calm space where you can become present to your subconscious mind. Mindfulness is easy, let me explain. Allow yourself to be in a safe and comfortable place. Then begin to become aware of your breath. Whatever that awareness brings to you. It could be your breathing rhythm, or the air moving through your nose or the muscles flexing…doesn’t matter what it is as long as your awareness is on your breathing. If your mind wonders, and it most likely will, bring it back to your breathing. That’s it…wasn’t that easy?…. Now that you are relaxed…

Step 2: Visualize your goal or desire. While you are in this relaxed state, see you being, succeeding, living your desired life, whatever that is.  Watch it as if it is on a screen in front of you and you are in the audience. What does it look like? What do you hear? What does it feel like? What emotions are present? Tap into the emotions. Let them grow and develop.  Allow the scene to play out in front of you. As you are doing this you are imprinting upon your subconscious mind…..CHANGE. You are letting your subconscious mind know this is what you want…Expect… actually. Remember, this is the language of the subconscious mind.  You are communicating with your powerful ally.  

Step 3: Affirmations -help reprogram the subconscious mind by flooding it with positive messages and images that counteract your negative beliefs. Sometimes I have an affirmation that I have chosen for my goal or desire. Other times, I create it when I am visualizing my goal or desire during mindful meditation. The affirmation is born out of the negative belief that pops up during my visualization of the goal or desire.

For example, quick side story:

I was preparing for an exam and was following the steps above. While I was in mindful meditation, I was watching the exam in my mind. It was a skills presentation exam, not written. As I was watching the exam, suddenly the exam proctor began being rude and intimidating.

Boom, this was the hidden resistence, the subconconsious limitation I have been fighting. It just popped out as I was imaging the exam.

Using my Questions to counter the fears

I began to counter all the emotions and fears with questions like: what is the worst thing that could happen if I fail? This exam is like a presentation isn’t it? I have been trained to handle unruly people during presentations haven’t I? What could I say to myself to counter these negative thoughts?

Let go and have fun

This affirmation immediately appeared in my mind. ‘Let go and have fun’ I knew that if I could let go of the results ie. passing or failing and I could just have fun, I would remain relaxed allowing my mind to stay clear, focused and creative.

I used this affirmation during the exam prep and throughout the exam.  The result….I passed.  This is how powerful this process can be. (read the whole story here: )

If there are any negative pre-programs that exist, they will appear during this time and you can eliminate them easily with affirmations that you create on the spot, just as I did with the example above. .  That is what makes these 3 steps so powerful.  

Your Road to Your Ultimate Success

Understanding and harnessing the power of your subconscious mind is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience, practice, and a commitment to self-discovery. But the rewards are immeasurable. Practice these 3 steps daily and repeat the affirmation(s) as much as you can throughout your day.  Constant reinforcement will create the change you desire.

By reprogramming limiting beliefs, releasing emotional baggage, and aligning your subconscious mind with your conscious goals, you can achieve profound personal transformation. Success, happiness, and fulfillment become not just possibilities but your new reality.

Your subconscious mind is your greatest ally. Embrace its potential with these 3 Steps, and watch as it helps you unlock the life you’ve always dreamed of living.

Hi, so just a little about me.  I became a Reiki Master/Teacher about 12 years ago when I stumbled on the power of the mind and hypnosis. My first encounter with hypnosis was in an office chair as I was leaning against the wall. It lasted only 20min and my intent was to remove a knee jerk panic reaction to floating on my back in a pool.  It worked. I went from hanging on to the edge of the pool, panicked every time my feet left the pool floor to swimming on my back. 50 years of fear gone in one 20 min hypnosis session.  I had to learn hypnosis and add it to my existing Reiki practice.  Does hypnosis work? Absolutely, without a doubt!

I am a certified Hypnotherapist from Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI) an accredited Hypnosis College in California

My roots being in energy healing, I know that true healing is holistic. The healing must be Mind/Emotion, Body and Spiritual to be complete. My motto became, “Reiki Infused Hypnotherapy for your Ultimate Success”

I look for ways to empower my clients, to find and unlock their own inner healer. Once this power is found and unleashed, a life of intention, awareness and harmony can unfold.  Reiki infused hypnosis enables the client to connect intuitively and heal holistically.

Embracing Peace and Confidence: 3 Actionable Steps to Beat Worry and Stress

Life is a journey filled with joy and challenges. 3 actionable steps to beat worry and stress and embrace peace and confidence

Life is a journey filled with joy and challenges. 3 actionable steps to beat worry and stress and embrace peace and confidence

 Life is a journey filled with both joys and challenges. Along the way, we often encounter worry and stress, which can disrupt our peace of mind and confidence. As an experienced certified hypnotherapist and Reiki master, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of simple yet effective techniques that can help you turn your daily worries into a lifestyle of peace and confidence. In this blog, I’ll share three actionable steps that will guide you on this path to a more harmonious and empowered life.

Step 1: Cultivate Mindfulness and Present-Moment Awareness

The first step towards breaking free from worry and stress is cultivating mindful awareness. Mindfulness allows you to be present in the moment, observing your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This practice helps you detach from the constant mental chatter that fuels anxiety and stress.

Actionable Techniques: a. Mindful Breathing: Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath. Close your eyes, inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale slowly through your nose or mouth. Pay attention to the sensation of the breath entering and leaving your body. Whenever your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath without any frustration; just bring it back to your breathing awareness

“Mindfulness if my favorite ‘go to’ meditation to induce peace and relaxation”

b. Body Scan: Set aside time for a body scan meditation. Starting from your toes and moving upwards, direct your attention to each part of your body. Notice any tension or discomfort and allow it to release as you continue to breathe deeply. I was amazed at how much tension I carried in my body without my conscious awareness. Becoming more aware of your body’s tension and releasing it… is powerfully calming.

c. Gratitude Journal:  Gratitude is a powerful and highly vibrational emotion.  It also contributes to releasing good calming hormones that contribute to relaxation and healing. Keep a journal by your bedside and write down three things you are grateful for each night. This simple practice shifts your focus from worries to positive aspects of your life, fostering a sense of peace and contentment.

“Affirmations are powerful when you have the right equation for success”

Step 2: Visualize Your Success with Positive Powerful Self-Talk

Our thoughts have a powerful impact on our emotions and behaviors. What we think we believe and then become. Think about that as you listen to your self-talk. To replace negative self-talk and worries with peace and confidence, consider consciously shifting your internal dialogue.  When you are aware of negative self-talk, stop the thought and immediately change it to something you want. One way is through affirmations.

Actionable Techniques: a. Affirmations: Create positive affirmations that counteract your specific worries and doubts. For example, if you often worry about making mistakes, repeat affirmations like “I am learning to become calm, confident and in control of my actions and reactions” or “I learn from my experiences and grow stronger each day.” 

For more information on affirmations, check out my free ebook: “Affirmation Equation for Success”

b. Future Self Visualization or Self-Hypnosis: These are identical.  Imagine/picture/pretend/experience your ideal self, free from worry and filled with confidence. See yourself handling challenges gracefully and embracing peace. Then allow yourself to wonder what that would feel like. Ask yourself, if this experience had an emotion, what would it be? Then allow that emotion to fully develop.

Extra bonus is during this experience, introduce your affirmation; Thus creating a package of imagery, emotion and affirmation.   Visualization and emotion reinforces positive beliefs and aligns your subconscious mind with your desired reality. Adding the affirmations connects it all together. When you, now, recite your affirmation, the imagery and emotion are present.

c. Hypnotherapy: Consider seeking the assistance of a professional hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy can help you access the deeper layers of your mind and instill positive suggestions, empowering you to break free from worry and embrace confidence.

Step 3: Establishing Healthy Habits

Creating a lifestyle of peace and confidence requires consistent effort and dedication. Introduce healthy habits into your daily routine to support your journey towards a stress-free life.

Actionable Techniques: a. Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activities that you enjoy. Exercise releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones, which reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. Depending on your fitness, you could join a gym or enjoy a walk or working in your garden or yard.

b. Mindful Nutrition: Pay attention to your diet and aim to eat nourishing foods. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar intake, as they can exacerbate feelings of anxiety. Love yourself with the foods you eat.

c. Setting Boundaries: Learn to say no when necessary and prioritize self-care. Establishing healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life helps you manage stress effectively.

Conclusion:

Breaking free from daily worry and stress is possible with consistent effort and a willingness to embrace positive change. By cultivating mindful awareness, shifting negative self-talk, and establishing healthy habits, you can transform your life into one characterized by peace and confidence. Remember that change takes time, so be patient and compassionate with yourself throughout this transformative journey. Start small, stay committed, and watch as your worries melt away, replaced by an empowered and serene version of yourself

Hi, let me share a bit about myself. Around 13 years ago, I discovered the incredible potential of the mind, body and spirit. I was introduced to Reiki, a powerful energy healing system. My initial experience with hypnosis occurred when I was sitting in an office chair, casually leaning against the wall with the intent of removing a lifelong fear.  In this 20 minute session my lifelong fear, panic really, of floating on my back in a pool disappeared. In one session, my fear was gone.

That led me to become certified in hypnotherapy through HMI (Hypnosis Motivation Institute) an accredited college of hypnotherapy. Now, as a Reiki master and hypnotherapist,  I am excited to offer Reiki infused hypnotherapy for your ultimate success.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients by assisting them in uncovering and harnessing their innate healing abilities. By tapping into this source of power, they can lead a purposeful, mindful, and harmonious life. Through the powerful combination of Reiki and hypnosis, my clients are able to establish an intuitive connection and experience holistic healing.

You are the Creator of your Life!

You are the creator of your life

You are a powerful creator of your life.  Did you know that? Do you know that your thoughts produce an energy field around you and that energy field attracts onto itself other energy like it. For example, when I worry about something happening and all the worst case scenarios that go along with those worry thoughts, those scenarios or something like it will appear in my life. I am actually creating what I fear into my life.  How crazy is that!  So the question to ask yourself is: ‘what are you thinking’? Really the  more accurate question is: ‘what life are you creating for yourself with your worry thoughts? If you are happy with your life now, no worries. If you are not and you are ready for a change, keep reading

I wasn’t happy with what was happening in my life. I thought, what would happen if I began to apply this information in my life?  I thought, let’s begin to  apply this knowledge in the area  of my past anxiety. It was a game changer for me.  I slowly began stopping my worrisome thoughts about what might happen and began thinking about what I wanted to happen. Not only did the bad thing not happen, my anxiety and stress dropped way down and I felt happier and surprisingly more confident.

Now, I didn’t make this change overnight and it took some time to make this a habit. As I began to become more and more aware of my ‘what if’ and worrisome thoughts, I began changing them more and more and you know what I found? I found that my positive thoughts began to happen more. 

Could the energy people be right? Do we really have the power to create and control our lives? 

Or is this just a coincidence?  

The more I applied the changed thinking into my life the more it began to come true. I was becoming the creator of my life.  I didn’t have to be the victim of my life anymore.  

WOW! My anxiety…GONE!  

Yes, Gone. That is why I have ‘past anxiety’ now.  I remain calm and confident in my life now. When those anxious thoughts appear now…..I stop them and I ask myself, what do I want instead?  Then I imagine that happening and I experience the feeling or emotion as if the event has already happened just as I imagined it.   By keeping my mind on what I want and that experience, I remain calm and confident. The anxiety disappears. 

So how do you do this? How does one become the creator of one’s life? 

Self Hypnosis!  Self hypnosis is the process of applying a focused thought while in a relaxed state of mind.  This simple process raises your vibration (energy field) and at the same time you are focused on what you want and how it makes you feel.  This combination of imagination and emotion is the key. What is emotion but vibration and energy? So, really bring into the experience as much emotion as you can. It really isn’t hard when you begin thinking about how wonderful the experience would be and having what you are imagining right now in the moment.

Self hypnosis isn’t just not for anxiety.

No Self Hypnosis works for everything.  It will work for goals, chronic pain control, weight loss, quit smoking, sleeping better and anything. Self hypnosis will work on any behavior you want to increase or decrease or change. Some of the  processes may change depending on the issue and end result but the core of self hypnosis, imagination and emotion, is always there.  

 So what do you have to lose? You could continue to think about those worrisome and what if thoughts or you could stop them and create the life you want instead. 

In light,

Art Kuhns
