Unlocking The Power of The Mind- Is there an easier way?

By: Lorelei Fenton

Every day we hear claims that we can have anything we want- wealth, abundance, happiness, lasting and fulfilling love- just by opening our minds to it, and using our brains more fully. We endeavor to cram our brains full of information in this the age of information. But still we can't seem to unlock that more than 70% of our brain's capacity that we don't use. Often the task of doing this seems to elude us.

I have come across a myriad of powerful mind changing tools. In the twelve steps of Alanon, AA, or OA for instance, there are wonderful books and slogans that hope to instill in people a new way of thinking. Then too, there are Louise Haye's affirmations in the form of mini-books and daily reading cards. With these you can work everyday to replace the negative thoughts in your head with positive ones. There are meditations, yoga, and body-mind-spirit practices which seek to unlock the power of the mind by going within the body. All of these practices are very helpful.

How often have you gone to a party in this, the' new age of enlightenment' and heard someone talk about 'mind over matter' or a way to increase mental power. If you're like me you nodded your head yes to the person across from you, while also thinking "Well, you can say it- but can you do it?" Or more to the point, you thought 'But can I really do it." And there may have been some frustration because you'd been working on that skill for a long time already. And if you're like me, you were probably not acknowledging your successes- but only how far you seemed to be from your goals.

My experiences with 'mind over matter' have included some life-changing things- such as a course called The Landmark Forum- where you delve into the very question of what it means to be human. I have looked at myself as a human being, and how my very self was created at a young age. I have dissected the process so that I could shift my way of being to become all that I want to be. In this process I have looked at the very way my brain operates, which sometimes empowers me but very often dis-empowers me.

You could think of your mind like a 'answers machine.' You could consider that when you put information in, an answer comes out. Now the answer is not always a pleasant one. In fact very often what goes in the machine to form the mind's answer is flawed material. The mind picks out the traumas, painful occurrences, and scarred experiences of life to form an answer for. In essence, the mind does not choose the day-to-day grind to worry about. It only picks the incidents that stand out- hence the answer is based on only one incident out of many- and so flawed. The mind then makes note of what should be done to address this problem. This is quite often in the form of a negative thought such as "Don't trust anyone." Some of these thoughts become such a part of us, we can't even see them.

Are the claims true that the mind can accomplish any task if it truly believes it can? Are the claims true that the mind can produce overnight weight loss, mastery at any skill, no matter how foreign, and even the cessation of incurable illnesses? Is the mind truly that powerful? And if so, how do we tap into that other 70% so that our faith truly will move our own mountains? In my opinion, this faith alone would be a true miracle.

How would it be, I wonder, if we could skip over the hard work of constant bathroom affirmations, cards, and readers? What would it be like to just lay there and listen to a tape or CD- then fall to sleep and allow the magic to work on you the next day and into the future. Experts say this method, called brain entrainment, is entirely possible- and even works very well. I am also told does not involve any scary 'subliminal messages.' This is such a fascination for me- this thought that I really can train my brain without working so hard- that I am inclined to try this method and let you know how it works.

It is said that we can increase our mental power and access the power of our minds through brain entrainment. I am sure this is very true. But the true test for me will be will I do it steadily, every day, until the learning sinks in? Or perhaps I need to first buy the entrainment CD that will train me to do that.
