The language of the unconscious mind.

I had the pleasure of reading a great blog on the Huffington Post yesterday. It was about the connection between the physical expression of yoga and the clarity of dreams experienced by the writer.

It got me thinking about my own experience with working with mind and body. I began to journal my dreams many years ago and was amazed to discover, often what I would dream came to reality later on.

These precognitive dreams were a direct result of the mediation practice I had developed to combat stress. My sleep states  also evolved into lucid dreaming where I was aware I was lying in bed and future events were happening around me.

The connection between our physical body and dreams is our subconscious mind. These are the only way the deeper part of  our mind can seek expression if we do not attempt to listen to it. Meditation is a way of giving expression to your subconscious mind.

As a massage therapist I became very aware of the connection between your physical body and your subconscious. You see, if you do not give expression to the subconscious it will force it’s way through your body or disturb your mind. The problem is, it normally causes stress, tension and pain that most people try to ignore.

The writer on the Huffington Post found getting in touch with her tension through yoga made her dream state clearer to her. This in turn created more harmony in her mind/body connection.

Your subconscious mind always has something it wants to get across to you, and it is always something that is meant to heal you in some way. The language it speaks will at first seem very foreign to you as it uses images to convey what it wants to say to you. With practice you can develop the ability to understand every subtle nuance of it’s expression.

Develop a practice of paying attention to your body and your dreams, and you will find that in time your life will be peaceful and complete.

What dreams may come...

Do you remember your dreams? Do  you live your life by the wisdom of your subconscious mind?

Many years ago I developed a practice of writing down my dreams every morning. At first they made no sense at all to me. It was if I did not understand the language. After a period of time I started to recognize the patterns. Once I listened to what my subconscious had to say, my life improved dramatically.

Since that time I consistently have precognitive and lucid dreams. Precognitive dreams show me what is going to happen before they do. Lucid dreams are events happening around me and I interact with them as I lay in bed. It is like an expanded state of awareness.

Even if you do not remember your dreams right now just follow the example below.

Place a journal and pen on the night stand beside your bed. Every morning when you wake up start writing. Do not judge or edit what you are writing down. Before your conscious mind becomes fully engaged express what your subconscious has to say. In time with practice you will remember more and more. I got to the point of remembering up to three complete separate dreams.

Your subconscious knows you better than you know yourself. Listen to it.
