It was the summer of 2003, and I was looking for books to read during my vacation. While taking a stroll in a secondhand book store, I came across an interesting title – “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr Joseph Murphy. The title attracted my attention as I had recently developed an interest in positive thinking and inspirational reading.
I started reading the book, and I was so engrossed that I finished it within two days. The book mainly focuses on the functioning of a subconscious mind. It explains how our mind functions and how it works in achieving what we wish for. The most important thing this book taught me is, your mind just understands words or wishes. It does not understand any negative command. Such as, “I don’t want to fall sick”. It will just understand the words, ‘I’, ‘fall sick’. And it gives that to us. Therefore, the author insists on changing the pattern of your thinking.
This book explained to me how I find the answer to my questions, which I think of when I sleep — it is because my subconscious mind is working on it. This book also discusses how to use your subconscious mind to get rid of phobias or any fear you have in your life.
This book changed the way I used to think. The author has used a simple method and language to explain the subject matter. I read it again and again whenever I need a push.
However, it is not an alternative to any treatment. It just gives you a guideline to improve your thinking pattern and throw out negative thoughts.
