The short end of the stick is that all inner change or personal transformation happens at a deeper level of consciousness. No matter how brilliant our thoughts and ideas are, they are not sufficient to bring about real change. When it comes down to making powerful and positive shifts in our life, knowledge by itself\u00a0is superfluous. That means that you can conceptually and rationally grasp the secrets of the universe but you can only put them into practice by integrating them into your totality of self.<\/p>\n
The idea of course is nothing new.\u00a0Ancient spiritual practices such as meditation and Yoga or modern practices such as hypnosis and neuro linguistic\u00a0programming (NLP) have at their core the common goal of accessing\u00a0deeper levels of consciousness and using those states to reprogram the mind. Deep healing, intuition, tapping into your amazing source of creativity and changing counterproductive beliefs are some of the things that are easily achievable through tuning into your deeper states of mind.<\/p>\n
Psychology talks about the notion of the subconscious and unconscious as facets of our psyche that lie beneath the threshold of conscious thought and reasoning. I prefer to use what Robert Wagonner refers to as \u2018the conscious\u00a0unconscious\u2019 in his book \u2018Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self<\/a>\u2019. Ultimately these are just labels to parts of ourself we know very little of, but I choose Wagonner\u2019s term \u00a0because it implies that there is a vast part of ourself which rather than being unconscious or subconscious, it is wiser, larger and more conscious of the bigger picture than our waking states of consciousness can ever be. I also like how dream therapist\u00a0Robert Moss talks about the big self and the little self \u2013 The big self comprises those deeper levels<\/a> of our consciousness which are ultimately connected to the source and to everything\u00a0else, hence why many refer to it as our divine infinite self, our spirit or our multidimensional being.<\/p>\n Modern research in\u00a0neuroscience has been discovering facts that merge with or complement\u00a0 ancient knowledge and wisdom. One interesting area of research is that of brainwaves\u00a0and how they correlate to states of mind and levels of consciousness.<\/a> Brain waves are practically waves that are produced by the synchronised electrical pulses when clusters of brain neurons are communicating with each other. There are 4 basic types of brain waves.<\/p>\n These waves\u00a0are dominant in our normal waking consciousness when attention is directed to cognitive tasks and the outside world. It is connected to problem solving, decision making, complex thinking and even anxiety and\u00a0excitement. These brain states are very energy intensive.<\/p>What\u2019s the Frequency Kenneth?<\/h2>\n
