The human mind----

It is said that the average human being has over 12,000 different thoughts each day. The human mind can be split into two quite different parts, the conscious and the subconscious.

The Conscious Mind
The conscious mind only represents a mere 12% of the total mind's capacity, and can only be concerned with, or hold one single thought at a time. It decides what action we will take, often based upon past subconscious experiences, and constantly re-assesses a situation to ensure that the correct action has been taken. The conscious mind has no memory capacity, and therefore only deals with the 'here and now' situation.

The Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind takes up the remaining 88% of our brain's capacity, and could be compared to a massive computer system that stores all of the information regarding our location, situation, feelings etc.The subconscious mind has a perfect memory. When a person is writing a word on a piece of paper, the subconscious mind will attempt to locate the correct spelling and then pass that information to the conscious mind so that it can instruct the muscles in the hand to act accordingly. Whilst in a trance state, the subconscious mind will accept any suggestion it receives without question. It must be remembered however that if a suggestion is not conducive with the moral code of the subconscious, or if it is perceived as a threat, then there is a likelihood that the conscious mind will reawaken to analyse the situation accordingly.
