Introduction

A s a psychotherapist working in private practice, I see people every day who have created havoc in their lives through misuse of their emotions. I have seen the same people turn their lives around dramatically through contacting the tremendous power within them and using it constructively.

The greatest power in the world is inside your own head. Its called the subconscious mind. The ability to correctly program this incredible force within you can transform your personality and create miracles in your life. Knowledge of the dynamics of your subconscious mind can bring you excellent health, financial prosperity, self-confidence, peace of mind, loving relationships, and whatever else you desire in your life. It can also help you overcome the negative concepts that create anxiety, depression, poverty, poor health, and lack of friends or lovers. In the realm of the subconscious, there is a vital force that can help and guide your life, if you will only listen to it, learn its laws, and program it correctly. Used incorrectly or ignorantly, that same fantastic power can produce an existence of living hell. It all depends on your ability to deprogram it from the negative concepts that others have given you, and reprogram it to positive ones. If you want to know what youve been asking for, just take a look at what youve got!

We all determine the direction of our lives, but most of us do it unconsciously, and the consequence is often chaos. To a very great extent, we create our own reality, and we are responsible for what we attract into our lives through our own thinking. Through using your mind constructively, you can unlock dormant potentials within you, alter inappropriate behavior patterns, overcome the negative conditioning from your past, and increase your creativity and self-confidence.

Richard, a biochemist I counseled some years ago, was a good example of how we can use the power of our subconscious mind to create a better life. Richard came to see me because of personal problems that were overwhelming him; he was particularly concerned because he had been searching for a job for over a month and had been unable to find one. He was highly qualified, with a masters degree in chemistry, but his despondent attitude was preventing him from finding the position he so desperately wanted. He grew up in a poor family and had worked two jobs to put himself through college, but his parents had poverty consciousness, and were convinced that even a degree wouldnt do much good. Richard subconsciously bought this negative idea.

I taught him how to make money affirmations, a technique I learned from Leonard Orr, instructor of Prosperity consciousness seminars in San Francisco. Because Richard was an intellectual and a scientist, he thought I was a little crazy to suggest that writing affirmations would get him the type of job he wanted, and at a higher salary. Reluctantly, he carried out my suggestions and was amazed to find they worked. Within three weeks he found a job at an excellent salary with an expense account and a company car.

Another client, Nancy, a fifty-three-year-old divorced woman, had attempted for three years to find a man with whom she could spend her remaining years. After two disappointments in marriage, one lasting twenty-five years and the second only a year and a half, she felt she was too old to attract the type of man she desired. Three years of making the rounds in the singles scene had left her already shaky self-esteem even more severely damaged, and she came to see me in a state of severe depression. After a few months of working with methods to increase her confidence and self-esteem, I taught Nancy how to use the power of her subconscious mind to attract a suitable companion. She diligently applied these principles for several months, then started getting telephone calls from men she had met in the past, and met new ones through friends who began inviting her to social affairs. Within a year I received a letter from her; she had moved to New York with her new husband and was extremely happy, having at last found the fulfillment for which she had long been searching.
