How Autosuggestion Influences the Subconscious (By Sara Bern)

We have to use the right affirmations for autosuggestions because these affirmations greatly influence our subconscious. Remember that your conscious and subconscious mind work in totally different ways. The conscious mind can accept or reject an idea, choose among inputs arriving to it, and create entirely new ideas.

The subconscious mind, however, operates in a completely different way from your conscious mind. It's in the subconscious where your autopilot resides. The subconscious processes inputs extremely fast, a million times faster than the conscious. The subconscious mind is just like a receiver. It is akin to an open bowl. It is programmed to accept all things that enter into it, no choice here. It simply can not reject an idea that your conscious mind has already accepted.

In the subconscious, negations are filtered away. One common example of this is when mothers at restaurants strictly admonish their children to not spill on the nice table cloth. But, what usually happens?

They do spill! Most of the time, at least. Why, what did their subconscious get? Do spill out on the nice table cloth! And, because the instructions came from their mum, feelings stress more importance - you asked for it, mum, so here goes the milk!

The subconscious mind takes things at face value, just like kids and people with Asperger's syndrome. It cannot understand cynicism or sarcasm. If you use a cynical or sarcastic jargon, you need to think carefully and, perhaps, rephrase before formulating it in autosuggestions and affirmations.

Furthermore, your subconscious mind can certainly not distinguish between what is real and what is invented. It takes in everything it receives from the conscious mind without analysis, question or protest. The subconscious can not tell whether something is true or false, realistic or ridiculous.

Again, your subconscious mind, which controls your body, cannot distinguish between what is real and what is invented. So, use it to your advantage! Remember these:


  • Create your vision by using your conscious mind.
  • Plant the vision beautifully in your mind the knowledge that your subconscious doesn't have a chance to protest and let the subconscious or the autopilot take control.
  • Plant affirmations through autosuggestions in your subconscious mind and allow it to take over.

There is tremendous power in this.

A word of caution though. As my ex-boyfriend Per Ödling, Ph.D. and Professor, told me: "Repetition makes permanent, not perfect." So, be careful what affirmations and autosuggestions you use. Make use of your knowledge of how your subconscious mind works, and then, make the suggestions.
