Let's
begin
by
asking
ourselves:x "What Is
the Subconscious Mind?" I
could
write
volumes and
quote hundreds of
scholars,
regarding
this
topic, but I
promised
to make it simple and try to have the complex subjects, a bit more"Palatable"... We are told that the 'Subconscious mind', is about 90%
of
our mind... (which is similar to computer) By the way, I
could
never
understand how or
who,
measured
it and
came
up
with
such
an exact
number.... However, if
indeed it
is
so, there
is
something
to
worry
about; since we may often be functioning Without the involvement of our Conscious Mind...
This incredible "Computer" of ours, named the 'Subconscious Mind',
is
in
charge (among other things) of our Involuntary Functions; like Breathing, which sends Oxygen to
different parts of the body, handling the complex processes of digestion and elimination, provides Alkaline
or Acid to our stomach, in order to digest our food, select the proper Nutrients, which turn it into fuel for our body and store some,
in case
of
an
emergency... This amazing Inner Computer, is behind other functions as well; like the removal of our body's Dead
Cells and replacing them with new cells, so the body may be able to repair and
heal itself from Accidents, Illness and Emotional Traumas...
Dr. X Depak Chopra clams, that
we have an 'Inner Pharmacy',
capable
of
producing any kind of medicine, which the Pharmaceutical Industry is
selling with one
difference only: "Our Medicine"
has No
side
effects! He also tells us that our body, is capable of regenerating all our organs, bones and spine, within less than a year...
I
remember reading, that
every one hundred and eighty
days we create
new Blood Cells and a new Liver; once a year... X"If we try to create these complicated functions by ourselves, using our conscious
mind only, we will be dead within a very short time!" Dr Chopra says... Until now I didn't quiet realize, how important the Subconscious Mind is... There is always something new to learn, right? At
times
of
extreme
danger (Emotional
or Physical) our Subconscious
Mind, would look
at
the
situation at hand and analyze,
the emergency
signals
it
receives... After assessing
the situation (To see weather it is a
matter
of Life
or Death) this "Inner Computer", would
immediately
put
on
hold, our bodily
functions (those which can be postponed...) So it can handle the threat at hand... The main job of this "Computer" is to protect us at times of danger... Doing so, by
puting on hold, for as long as it is possible, some of our Bodily Functions and Emotions; in order to
treat and solve the immediate and most threatening problem...

In
order to understand better, the powerful effects our Subconscious Mind has on our life (besides being able to control our' Bodily Needs') I would like to describe a case history, of one of my clients, a young
woman in her late twenties, with whom I worked on and off, for a long time... A few months, prior to her visit, "Lisa" developed a saver anxiety, while driving
on
the
freeway... After
probing
a
bit, I
found
out that
she was experiencing this problem 'Only
on
the
way
to
work', not
when
she was driving
back
home and never
on
the Weekend... Well, one
doesn't
need to have
a PhD, in order
to
figure
out, that something 'quiet
troubling', was
going
on
at Lisa's Work Place, which was a Law Office, where she worked
as
an 'Office Manager' and was supervised by two
partners for several years...
Lisa
, who came
from
a Catholic
family was
the
oldest
of seven
children... Her
father, who
was
a
Traveling
Salesman,
came
home
Infrequently... Lisa's mother suffered
from severe Migraine
headaches and
often disappear into
a
dark
room for several hours... Lisa became a
"Junior Mom", remembering herself
at
the
age
of
three (Yes, just 3 Years old!)
Holding a crying
baby bother, trying to calm him... Poor Lisa
had
no
childhood...
As the years past by she
had
to
get
up very early
in
the
morning, prepare
the
children's
breakfast, as well as lunch for school, wake
them
up and make sure they
wash and
get dressed... After
school when
her
friends
were
playing , Lisa had
to help her siblings with Home Work... having no time left, to work on her own and was getting bad grades...
Lisa's family
was
very
poor...
She told me about a time when her
mother found out, that the bananas she bought disappeared... The mom made the kids stand in a line and
with a threatening ton of
voice was
asking: “Who
ate
the
bananas?!”
No
one
said a word; finally, Lisa stepped
forward
and
said; "I
did" (which
was
not
so) She
was
always 'Covering
Up' for
her brothers and sisters... The siblings learned
to
expect her 'Over Protectiveness' and took
advantage
of it... They
also
resented
her
attempts
to
discipline
them and were rebelling in many ways...
It
turned
out, that at
the
law
office, were Lisa was working, were 'Nine Employees'; working
under her... One
of
the
partners, worked in the office and the other, was
traveling most of the time... It seemes that Lisa (or rather her Subconscious
Mind) recreated her own
childhood: Two
partners,
one who was often
absent
(her
father) Nine 'employees, (her
siblings)
whom she was always 'Rescuing' by assuming responsibilities for their mistakes, protecting them from
the
strict
and
raging of the second partner (her
mother)... Just like her brothers and sisters, Lisa's fellow employees, expected her to take care of them and were taking her for granted, resisting and resenting her... (Sounds familiar?)
I
explained
to
Lisa that it seems, as if, her subconscious mind (which often uses Associations) was the one, which created
her latest anxiety; "Fear of driving on the freeway".This lovely young woman was trying hard to get rid of
the
horrible
pain, she was dealing with over her 'Stolen Childhood. I was helping her grieve
for
the
little
girl, who was forced
into
a roll of an
adult, at such a young age and guided her, how to "Mourn" the loss
of her
Carefree
Childhood... Besides Traditional Therapy, I used Hypnosis; which helped clear her pain and was teaching her, how to 'embrace' her deprived and suffering Inner Child, by giving it now, the love which was missing in the past... Four months after we completed our work, Lisa met
the 'man
of
her
dreams' and
got
married... I was invited for the wedding, but was unable to do so, since I was on a vaction in Israel, where I was visiting with my family and friends...
A year later Lisa came
to
see
me
again... Her
husband
wanted
to
start
a
family,
but
she
was
terrified of
having
children... "What is wrong with me?" She lamented. "My fear of driving is gone, I am happy, I love my
husband; why do I have to create problems?!" "Well
Lisa" I
said "I
don't
know
how eager I
would be to have
children, if
I
was
forced
to
become a Mother at
the
age
of Three..." I helped her overcome the new Issue' (having a baby) and after two Hypnosis sessions, gave her a hug and wished her good luck! A year later Lisa called to tell me she had a baby boy... For the next three years, I was receivingfrom her
Christmas
cards and
photos of her husband and their three children, then slowley lost touch...
With Love and Light,
Shira.
