Subconscious Healing And Today's Medicine Alternatives

By Elena McDowell


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 that part of the mind that operates independently of our waking, conscious control. It is easy enough to demonstrate this difference, simply by noting that we continue to breathe as we sleep. The human heartbeat as well, and any number of other activities are controlled by the brain but escape its ability to direct the body to act.

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.

Though there are numerous kinds of subconscious healing from many traditions, they tend to have certain commonalities simply because the human being varies quite little wherever one goes. Typically, the patient should adopt an attitude not just of calm but of gratitude toward what one has in life. Gratitude might seem like the very last thing one should feel when fighting a disease, particularly a disease serious enough to warrant going beyond conventional medicine.

Gratitude matters because the unconscious knows no such thing as the assertion of a negative. When faced with disease, we naturally regard it as an enemy to be fought, an attitude perhaps echoing the antagonistic attitude of chemical-based medicine. But the unconscious isn't aware of whether anything is being shunned or desired. All it knows is that mental attention is being placed upon the ailment, and it responds by "feeding" that suffering.

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.
