This book is dedicated to my husband and soul-partner, Brad, who puts himself on the line every single day with humor and rich intelligence. His deep spirit, strong ethics, and moral compass are my model of soul-alignment. In a world of off-roading, he stays the course with wings, and I am grateful to fly alongside.

What if I were to reveal an intuitive yet practical framework that cuts through the emotional and physical clutter obscuring your path, so that it becomes possible to envision the life you want and also make that vision real? What if you were to learn a set of simple, three-minute exercises that can alleviate pain, release you from resentment, and erase any residual shame you feel from past or present experiences? What if you were able to activate your own inner resources so that you could finally play big in your life without ever having to posture or pretend to be someone youre not?

Fully engaging in the marvelous creation of your own life is everyones birthright. And yet few of us feel like we have the power to shape our own lives. Why do so few people believe they can get what they most want in life? Why do so many of us seem to fall short of our dreams? We get a taste of gratification and purpose, but then we watch, frustrated and helpless, as the momentous occasion or achievement seems to disappear, becoming a hazy memory. Just like going on a diet to lose weight for a big event and then watching as the pounds return with a vengeance, as if the weight is in control of your body, not you. Indeed, sometimes our own minds, bodies, and actions seem to work at cross purposes with our goals. Why is that?

The answer lies within you.

Subconscious Power makes the road to ultimate self-improvement accessible by showing you how to tap into a powerful force within you, a capacity for agency that you more than likely did not know you possessed. What is this mysterious power within? Your subconscious.

The subconscious has been defined and referred to in many ways. The concept first emerged as a translation from the French word subconscient, which was coined by the psychologist Pierre Janet (18591947) to refer to a powerful awareness that lay underneath conscious thought. A more mainstream definition that most people rely on is the thoughts and feelings that exist below the conscious mind. Indeed, ever since Freud popularized the term subconscious (which he later changed to the unconscious), psychologists and other theorists have gone back and forth without ever coming to a consensus about a preferred term, with some using unconscious and others, including myself, using subconscious.

I prefer the term subconscious because it both offers a more positive connotation and feels more instinctive and closer to what we think of as intuition. Its power stems from the access the subconscious gives to our inner mind, which often knows more than we realize and always has a magical, elusive quality.

When you meet someone new and have an immediate sense of unease for no obvious reason, thats your subconscious talking to you. When something within you compels you to turn right instead of left on your usual route to the grocery store, thats also your subconscious talking. When you go on a job interview and come away with a feeling in every cell of your body that this is the opportunity youve spent your whole life waiting forthats your subconscious. When you learn to attune yourself to this power and tap into its energy, the subconscious can then become your inner compass, guiding you to the life you truly desire and deserve.
