Is There An Easier Way To Unlock The Power of The Mind?

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.

But how do you actually achieve this mind over matter? How do you actually increase mental power? It is a question we all ask ourselves- even those of us that believe it to be possible. And in this age of enlightenment, I think a lot of us believe in this much-talked-about phenomenon. Yet as we try to do it, we seem so far from our far-reaching goals. And since we are human, our many successes go largely unacknowledged, creating frustration.

The Landmark Forum is a life-changing course that you can take if you want to get a good look at how the mind operates. In that course you will look at what it means to be human, and how your very 'self' is created at a young age. You will be able to then dissect the process to re-create aspects of yourself and cause yourself to be any way that you want to be. For instance if you are very shy- you can re-create yourself as outgoing. And do it naturally, with no struggle. One of the quintessential things you will do in this work is look at how the brain operates. You will find it often empowers you- but just as often does the opposite.

The mind is a very strange machine. It looks for and picks out oddities in your life. These are things that are not everyday occurrences- things like traumas, painful experiences, and scarring occurrences. It picks these out by the very nature of their oddity, and the mind then goes about the business of solving these 'problems.' Unfortunately the then gives a solution, which is a negative thought. This thought- one such as 'don't trust anyone'- then works against you in the future. And oftentimes you can't even see these thoughts working in your brain.

One has to wonder if the mind truly can speak to the very cells in your body. One has to wonder if the claims people make about the mind's power to cure all manner of diseases are really true. Can the mind cause you to lose weight effortlessly? Can you become a master at some unknown task overnight. Is it perhaps true that faith- your faith in your mind's ability- can move mountains. If we believe, can we accomplish a miracle? And truly, this level of believing itself seems to be a miracle.

There is a lot of speculation that you can skip over the hard work of 'mind over matter.' They say that you can give up your daily affirmations and bathroom books and simply train the brain in any direction you want- while you lay there and relax, and listen to a CD or tape. What a wonderful idea? They call this method brain entrainment, and I am told there are no subliminal methods to worry about. Personally I am inclined to give this method a try, and stop working so hard.

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.
