Getting to Know Your Subconscious Mind

“As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.”
― Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
 
This is the first of two posts about the function of the subconscious mind according to Huna philosophy.  Today we’ll focus on learning to recognize the reactive nature of our subconscious and how it shows up in our daily lives.

Becoming aware of how our subconscious functions in our lives is tremendously empowering. According to Huna philosophy the subconscious self acts as the gas in our engine, energizing all that we intend, or stalling it out, as the case may be. As we learn how to partner with our subconscious self we take charge of responses and manifestations that hitherto were unconsciously determined.

Huna philosophy teaches that the subconscious self is in charge of the autonomic functions that make the body run. It keeps the heart beating, the lungs breathing, and everything working the way it should for our healthy bodily functioning.

Huna as well as traditional psychology teach that the subconscious self is the center of our emotional responses. This function of the subconscious has been referred to as the Inner Child. These are the knee-jerk emotional responses we may feel little or no control over, programmed into our subconscious through life experiences. Most importantly, it is this aspect of the subconscious that will put the brakes on the manifesting of our goals because of past wounding and fears.

The language of the subconscious mind is emotion. If we are feeling emotion Huna teaches that we are responding from our subconscious.    
     
If you have ever known a two-year old child you have an idea of what the subconscious mind is like.  It is illogical, emotional, selfish and given to tantrums.

It is also primed for learning with absolute faith in the truth of what it is learning. As such the subconscious mind is a faithful servant or a staunch adversary depending upon what truths it adheres to.

If we experienced wounding in the past, the subconscious internalizes truths or beliefs based on that wounding and this creates feelings of fear, shame, guilt, anger, resentment, greed, jealousy and any number of negative emotional reactions preventing the larger self from moving forward.

Our task then as we partner with our subconscious mind is to release the beliefs that do not support us and teach our subconscious truths which better serve us. There are many techniques and tools that can aid  in this. We offer you a particularly easy to use technique in today's Spiritual Toolbox.

On our Resources page you'll find instructions for another effective tool, Faster EFT-V, which I've used with success, for both myself and my clients.

Your Spiritual Toolbox

​Take the time today to become aware of your emotional self. Do you have knee-jerk responses to certain types of events in your life? These may be positive or negative emotional responses.

Don’t try to fix anything. Just note when you respond emotionally and what you are responding to.

These are your triggers, those events that create an automatic emotional response. You don’t have to know how or why. This is your subconscious reacting emotionally because of a belief based upon your experiences in the past.
 
A simple and powerful tool
for easing uncomfortable emotional responses is the breath.

Breathe into the feeling, focusing all your attention on the feeling and the breath. Don’t attach any story to the feelings. You don’t need to know why you’re feeling this way. Just allow yourself to feel and keep breathing deeply.

As you do so you may find that the feelings shift, and other feelings may come up.

​Eventually you may feel yourself relax. That is when you know that you have released what was ready to release.

Your Three Selves

"If you are not using Huna, then you are working too hard."
-Max Freedom Long


There are many different ways to understand ourselves but one of the most useful I’ve found is that taught by Max Freedom Long, best-known researcher of the psycho-religious system of Huna. Huna is based upon the ancient Hawaiian Kahuna healing and manifesting practices. The teachings and techniques available through Huna Research Inc. are surprisingly simple and practical. I have cherry-picked those parts of Huna teachings that I’ve found especially useful, and I will share the basics of what I’ve learned in these posts. For more in-depth research and technique please explore the many resources available on-line and at the Huna Research Inc. website.

Huna teaches that we are made up of three selves, the subconscious or low self, the conscious or middle self, and the superconscious or high self. The subconscious self manages the autonomic functions of the body as well as the emotional body. The conscious self is the reasoning intellect, the will. The superconscious self is our divine self, the divine will. The superconscious, being divine is that part of us which manifests and creates, supported by the subconscious and conscious selves.

Your three selves must be in alignment in order for you to successfully create in your life and maintain your creations. That means getting all three selves on board for whatever you intend to manifest. To do that we need to get to know each of our three selves intimately and how they are interdependent.

In the next few posts here in Know Thyself we’ll come to understand these parts of ourselves according to the teachings of Huna. Once we’ve become familiar with our parts we can explore putting them together. We may discover there’s magic in alignment!

Today, become aware of your breathing. Huna, as well as many teachings within Indian and Chinese philosophy teach that the breath energizes the body just as eating and sleeping do.

Additionally, Huna teaches that the breath energizes the subconscious, conscious and superconscious selves.

How deeply do you breathe during the day? Are your breaths shallow or full? As often as you can throughout the day remember to breathe slowly and deeply.

​Imagine yourself taking in energy as you breathe deeply, recharging yourself with each breath.
