Understanding the Subconscious: The Key to Effective Manifestation

I've been diving into the incredible work of Dr. Joseph Murphy which revolves around the power of our subconscious mind and how it is instrumental in manifestation. His work provides amazing insight on how the subconscious mind works and how we can use it to manifest anything we desire in our lives.

When we speak of manifestation, many people perceive it as some magical process. However, it's more accurate to see it as a mind-based process, where the actual power resides in your own mind. Hence, your subconscious mind becomes the key to successful manifestation. It is always at work, functioning 24/7 and accepting all information we feed it through our thoughts and words. So, remember - the subconscious mind doesn't understand jokes, it takes every thought and every word seriously.

Dr. Murphy gives a perfect analogy to illustrate how the conscious and subconscious mind work together - the ship captain (conscious mind) and the ship engineers (subconscious mind). The captain of a ship is responsible for steering and giving orders while the engineers execute these orders without question. This is how our conscious and subconscious minds operate. Our conscious mind, like the ship captain, decides the direction of our life. It communicates the orders to our subconscious mind, which then obediently executes these orders.

Now, the intriguing part is that nearly 95% of our actions are dictated by our subconscious mind, while only 5% of our actions are consciously decided. This drives home the point that the subconscious mind is immensely powerful. However, if you give conflicting signals to your subconscious mind, it will become confused and won't be able to steer you towards your desired outcome.

The key is to give clear, unambiguous directions to your subconscious mind. For instance, you can do this by consciously directing your thoughts and beliefs. This way, you'll be able to work harmoniously with your subconscious mind to manifest your desires.

Another amazing feature of the subconscious mind is its ability to work tirelessly, even while we sleep. Thus, you can take advantage of this by setting clear tasks for your subconscious mind to solve while you rest. Simply define and visualize what you want before you sleep, and trust your subconscious mind to work on it. It's like conducting your own personal experiment, gaining deeper insight into how your subconscious mind operates.

To conclude, it's vital to trust that your subconscious mind is always working to bring your desires into reality. Remember that the ideas and inspiration that randomly pop into your mind are not random at all - they are guidance from your subconscious mind. When you start paying attention to these ideas and act on them, you begin to co-create your reality.

So, next time you have an idea or inspiration, understand that it's your subconscious mind working tirelessly for you. Listen to these ideas, take inspired action, and watch as you manifest your desires into reality.

[00:00:00] Welcome back to the podcast. I'm really excited to have you here. So I have been diving into the work of Dr. Joseph Murphy recently, and if you haven't done so, I would highly suggest you do because his work really is incredible and it's all about the subconscious mind. So we're gonna talk about the subconscious mind today, and as some of you will know, If you know me quite well, I always say that manifestation isn't necessarily a magical process.

Manifestation is a mind based process.

I see so many people give away their power to external things, and actually you are the power. Your mind is the power. You are the power. Your mind is you. You get to control your mind and you are the one that is the powerful force, the powerful source energy. So the subconscious mind is something that I would really [00:01:00] encourage you to get to know, get to understand, and I will of course help you, do that if you've really not had a lot of information or you don't have a lot of knowledge about the subconscious mind, because the subconscious mind is the key to manifestation.

The subconscious mind is the key to living a life that is. Everything you could ever, ever, ever desire. 

and the subconscious mind is not actually as complex as it sounds once you start getting to know.

What it is, what it means, and how you can start working with it. So the subconscious mind is always at work, and this is so key. It is working for you all day and all night. It doesn't sleep. It's always on. It also doesn't argue, it doesn't disagree. It doesn't debate the subconscious mind accepts everything. We feed it. And when I say feed it, I mean, or when you speak, when you think subconscious mind is [00:02:00] accepting it all the time. It doesn't have a sense of humor, guys. It Doesn't know how to take a joke, so don't try and joke with it. Okay? I have made this mistake so often where I've like made jokes, I've made sarcastic comments, and then I remember , oh, wait, I shouldn't say that.

Because my subconscious mind is always listening. It's always taking directions from me. And when I'm saying something as a joke, my mind is taking it as serious. So word of warning, guys, it has no sense of humor. I. So Dr. Joseph Murphy uses the analogy of ship engineers and the ship captain to explain the relationship between our conscious mind and our subconscious mind.

So the conscious mind is, Rational thinking, it's decision making, whereas the subconscious is really everything else. It's, habits, it's controlling your nervous system, your cardiovascular system. It's really creating the being of you because [00:03:00] everything we do is. Based on habits, based on beliefs, and it molds us and shapes us into who we are.

So that's the subconscious. Okay. We are quite unaware, until we shine the light on the reasons why things are going on, and we start to understand the subconscious mind more. 

But it is believed that what we are doing on a daily basis is 5% conscious mind. And 95% subconscious mind. So Dr. Joseph Murphy, like I said, he uses the analogy of ship engineers. And I really think this is gonna be so valuable for you. So imagine the conscious mind as the ship captain. And the conscious mind is working to give orders, working to make decisions.

The captain is steering the ship. It's really in control of that ship, and it's making the decisions to get the ship to where it needs to go. 

The subconscious mind is the ship engineers, the ship [00:04:00] crew. And the crew and the engineers, they simply carry out the captain's orders. They do not question the captain.

They do not analyze the orders. They listen to the orders and they just do

so if you think about a ship and you think of like an old ship, okay, and you think of the captain, the captain is up, on deck,. Captain is looking at where the boat is going.

It's seeing what the weather's like. It's seeing any obstacles, any other ships that are coming up. Captain is looking out and seeing everything around him or her. Whereas your ship crew, your engineers, they could well be under the ship. 

All they're doing is steering. They don't know where they're going. There's no windows. They can't see out, they can't see where in the ocean they are. They can't see if any obstacles. All those engineers and crew are doing is just steering the ship.

Making sure the ship is performing. They're making sure the ship has, power to move [00:05:00] forward. They don't know where they're going. They can't see, therefore, they rely on the captain to give them orders so that they can take the ship in the direction that the captain is asking. 

but I think there's sometimes a misconception of like, oh, be careful because the universe is always responding and actually, okay, the universe may be responding, who knows?

But I'm gonna be more concerned. That my mind, my ship crew, my ship engineers are all working under the surface. They're the ones responding because they're the ones that are steering my ship, my vessel, my body into the direction that my captain, which is my logical mind, my eyes, what I can see. They're the ones that are taking me where I'm telling them I need to go.

So the subconscious mind is responsible for getting you to the destination that you want to go. But if you as the captain are giving [00:06:00] conflicting messages to the crew, well, you ain't gonna get to where you wanna go, are you? Because your crew are gonna be well confused, so,

It's up to you. The ship captain, the logical mind, the conscious mind, the part of you that is rationally thinking. The ship captain is up to you to give clear instructions to your crew, your crew, your subconscious mind. When you do that, your engineers, your crew. Can start sailing you in the direction that you want to go,

and this is what your subconscious mind is doing on a day-to-day basis because your subconscious mind doesn't care what you are saying. It's very for black and white. It just wants to know what you're saying. How can I keep my, ship alive? How can I keep my ship breathing? How can I keep my ship safe?

If captain's giving me nervous energy, anxious [00:07:00] energy, if Captain is giving me mixed signals, mixed directions, then I'm just gonna steer the ship to wherever I believe is the safest place because I wanna keep my ship safe. I'm the crew and I am responsible for keeping this boat above water. Captain is responsible for his or her job and crew are responsible for their job.

So when you start becoming really mindful of the fact that you have a, a crew inside of you, I'm trying to take you to where you wanna go, and you as the captain, it's your job to give the clear directions, then everything seems to become far more simple.

So now you are aware of this information, you are aware of how this is working for you. You can start becoming more consciously directing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, with your direction and what you are sending into your subconscious, what you are [00:08:00] telling. Your crew and your ship engineers, because then what you can do is work in harmony with your captain and the crew to get your vessel to where you want to go.

So what I love about the subconscious, and I said this at the start, is that it will work on problems for you while you sleep because subconscious does not sleep. And what I want you to do is start setting it to work for you, because if subconscious mind doesn't sleep, we gotta make the most of that time where we are resting, where captains sleeping and the engineers are still making that ship move.

So before going to sleep, You can actually instruct your subconscious mind with clear specific tasks or clear things that you want to be resolved. And as you sleep, your subconscious will get to work. It will process that information and it will [00:09:00] start generating solutions for you.

It is creative and it wants to give you solutions because its job is your survival. So I've been playing a game recently, which has been really so fun, and this game is all about bringing awareness to the ideas and the thoughts that pop into your mind out of nowhere. Okay? So when you have just been going about your day and you get an idea, you get a download, you just get this, brainwave that lands, and you think, well, where did that come from?

What triggered that? But that's a really good idea. What this game is going to do that I'm going to share with you is that you're gonna become more aware of these ideas and thoughts and you are gonna start to understand where they're coming from. Because these thoughts are not coming from nowhere.

These thoughts are coming from your ship workers, your ship engineers. They're coming from your subconscious mind. Cuz like I said, Mind. Our conscious mind is always working below our conscious awareness. It's always [00:10:00] figuring things out for us, it's always trying to get us to the destination it believes we want to go.

So do this every night before you go to bed. This is what I've been doing. I've been doing this quite a while. It is so easy. And it works. 

You will manifest faster. You will actually start working in harmony with your ship engineers and your ship crew. You will start becoming aware of how your subconscious mind works.

It's gonna be like your own little experiment on yourself. So what I want you to do every night before you go to bed, I want you to just take a moment and I want you to set your subconscious mind a task. The subconscious mind is very, very receptive during the sleep state. It is like the time when it comes alive because it doesn't have the logical mind giving it other mixed messages.

So subconscious mind can work on your tasks for you can work on your problems for you [00:11:00] whilst your logical mind is asleep and shut up. So before you go to sleep. Really think about, okay, what do I want my subconscious mind to work on? Define and visualize what you want. What do you want your mind to work on?

What goal would you like your subconscious mind to take you towards? And this doesn't have to be something big. This could literally be something small, like I wanna make an extra 500 pounds this week, 

 or I wanna find a way to meet a new potential partner this week or next week. It could be anything. It doesn't have to be big. So really think what you want your mind to work on. Then say this, and I like to say it out loud, mind. I would like blank and I trust that you will set to work on making this happen for me. 

 So I'll just repeat that. I'll give you an example. Mind, I would like an extra 500 pounds this [00:12:00] week, and I trust that you will set to work on making this happen for me.

 That's all you need to say,. 

Then. You can go to sleep, you can shut your eyes, you can relax in your bed, and if you would like, you can really just think of the goal. What it is you've just asked your mind for. You can allow the thought to really sink into your subconscious sink down into your ship engineers and your ship crew.

 And you can just fall asleep. Okay? Visualize it in your mind.

And that is it. It is such a simple task and I can almost guarantee it will be so powerful for you. All you then need to do after this, okay, so you've done that. You've gone to sleep, you wake up the next morning. All you need to do is trust that your subconscious mind will continue working on the tasks that you set it.

Trust that you have done what you need to do. You have communicated to your mind what you want. You have [00:13:00] visualized it, so you really deepened that impression in your mind. And you can just let it go and trust that it will always be working in the background because instead of it reacting to your logical thoughts that are just popping in throughout the day, and they're kind of chaotic and taking you in all different directions, you've been really clear.

So subconscious mind is like, okay, great. Perfect. We will work on that for you. You go to sleep, you let us do our thing, so when you wake up, you might already have an idea. As to what action you need to take, or the ideas might come in the day later on. They might come in the following day, but that is what you are looking out for.

Do not expect that you just say out loud what you want your subconscious mind to bring into your reality and don't expect it to turn into your reality. Okay? The key is that you are now looking out for ideas. Because that is what your subconscious mind will give you.

You are going to be required to take the action. So let's take this extra [00:14:00] 500 pounds this week. It's not just going to pop through the letter box. Unlikely you are going to need to do something to generate that 500 pounds. But how this will happen is that mind will give you random ideas throughout the day.

Or throughout the week where it is actually working on getting you to where you want to be in the background. So you might be in the gym, you might be at work, you might be in the shower, and all of a sudden you get this idea and you can trust that that is your mind trying to get you that extra 500 pound this week, or that is your mind trying to get you to meeting your dream partner.

And this is the key. I cannot stress this enough. You have to take the action. You have to listen to the ideas. 

you have to be open to receive the downloads. You are now bringing awareness to the ideas that you have. And you can now trust the actually these ideas and not just silly ideas, [00:15:00] crazy ideas, random ideas.

These ideas are. Communications from your ship workers, from your ship engineers from Below Deck, trying to get captain to where Captain wants to go. And this is inspired action. This is co-creating in order to bring in what you want into your reality.

And this is why, like I said, visualization is really, really important and I feel like visualization's been very over suggested. It's been made out to be just like a nice to do, but visualization is actually creating an impression. On your subconscious mind. It is not just about dreaming.

It is not just about raising your vibration. It is not just about, thinking of a nice, happy thought. Visualization is showing a film clip to your subconscious and saying, this is exactly what I want. And then subconscious gets to work.

It knows what you want, so it's gonna give you the ideas to get you there.

So I want you to [00:16:00] play this game every single night before you go to bed. Set your mind a task. Give it clear instructions. Take a moment to visualize it, make that clear impression. Go to sleep. , let it do its thing. And trust that your mind. Is there to support you.

Your ship crew are there to get you to your dream destination. Then over the next few days, . Observe yourself. Observe your ideas. Observe what is coming through for you. Take the action. Do not just let these ideas that your ship workers are providing to you, don't just let them disappear out into the ethers.

Take them and try them because you will get to where you want to go. I can almost guarantee it. This is such a fun game. You have to let me know if you do this and you have to let me know if you get downloads, if you get ideas, and if you take the action, I really, really want to know. So, let me know on Instagram, you'll find me at I [00:17:00] am share enya.

Play the game and tell me what comes through. I am so excited to hear what downloads you get and I will see you next week.
