mind fitnessNow that you have discovered the first two secrets of Raw Magic for the ultimate nutrition and the perfect physical exercise for you, and now that your mind is fueled and fertilized with the proper nourishment and oxygen, you are ready to begin learning about the third and most powerful secret of all: your ability to command your subconscious mind to radically change your life for the better.

If this sounds too weird to you right now, don’t worry, just keep going with the flow and continue reading to learn about something that you are really going to like.  Like myself, and many others, you will be forever grateful that you did.

Remember, the key to success is to be open minded and receptive to new ideas.

The Two Parts of Your Mind

icebergThere are two distinct parts of your mind that make you who you are: your conscious mind, that is the part you think, experience and create with, and the place where your inner voice lives, and your subconscious mind that controls all of your bodily functions like breathing, digestion, blood pressure, temperature, communications between cells and organs and countless other activities necessary for life and daily living.

Your subconscious mind cannot think.  It has no sense of the past or the future.  It only operates in the now.  It’s also important to know that the subconscious mind does not know the meaning of the word “no”.  Your subconscious processes 200 million times more information than your conscious mind and is therefore the giant in your brain.

An interesting attribute of our conscious mind is that it cannot stay focused for more than a few seconds before it is distracted by a different thought.  It is said that we are distracted from our focus about once every ten seconds.  In spite of this lack of ability to stay focused for very long, our conscious mind is the greatest miracle in the universe because it can create original thought and it has a keen sense of self-awareness.

How Your Conscious and Subconscious Minds Work

bikeLearning how to drive a car or ride a bicycle is a perfect example of how the conscious and the subconscious work.  When you are just learning how to drive a car or ride a bike, you are fearful.  “You can’t do it!”.  You’ve never done it before.  You put your foot down on the accelerator and all of a sudden you feel this thing begin to move.  You are uncertain about what is going to happen.  You sort of know, but you don’t know.  You are paying all of your attention.  One hundred percent of your conscious focus is on driving the car or riding the bicycle.

You might be thinking about something else.  Most likely, you won’t be thinking about riding the bike, or driving the car.  Your subconscious will be doing all of that work.

For example, I just recorded these thoughts on my iPhone WHILE I WAS DRIVING on a curvy mountain road.

That’s how the subconscious operates.  It takes time.  It takes constant input to teach it to take over.  But it does take over!

Who Is The Boss?

If your subconscious only performs non-thinking tasks, then how could it be a part of who you are?  The simple answer is that it has a powerful influence on your conscious mind and on your inner voice.  In addition to controlling bodily and automated functions, it controls your beliefs that are reflected by your inner voice and your actions.  And your inner voice is that part of you that is constantly telling you what you believe to be true.  So as you can see, your subconscious is indeed very powerful.

So who is the boss here?  Is it the conscious you, who wants a higher paying job or a bigger house?  Or is it the subconscious you, who doesn’t think and who can’t think, but, nonetheless has a persistent and strong belief, convincing you that this is not possible?

brainglowYour conscious mind might say that you want a higher paying job or a bigger house or a healthy, fit body, but your subconscious mind disagrees and holds you back by sending the message to your conscious mind that those things are out of reach for you.  Your subconscious has been trained for years to believe that for various reasons, you cannot get a higher paying job or a bigger house and will always direct your conscious thoughts to stay within the guidelines of your subconscious beliefs.  Remember, your subconscious is your big brother and is there to protect you from anything that is outside your belief system.

To get that bigger house or higher paying job you have to retrain your subconscious mind and in a relatively short amount of time, it will then believe that you have a bigger house and a higher paying job or whatever you wish.  You subconscious mind is like a gourmet raw foods chef who has everything in his kitchen.  All you have to do is place the order.  That’s right!  The universe is simply waiting for you to place your order.  Have you ever heard this one before?.....Ask and you shall receive!

Your subconscious may be the boss today, but with the right kind of mind exercises, you can retrain it to be your faithful servant and provide you with the life you want.

The Power of Belief

True “belief” is the great power of our minds.  Click on this you tube link and wait a few seconds for it to load so you can view a great video presentation discussing the power of belief:

Raw Magic does not endorse this ad, but the presentation is good for you to see because it illustrates how important beliefs are and the importance of changing them to make your life better.  Raw Mind Fitness will show you how to change your beliefs and will not charge you anything.  It’s free!  We only want to share the secrets with you.

Our beliefs are very strong and have taken a lifetime of experience to create.  Stories that have been told to us over and over and over for all of our lives from our parents and others and from television, books and movies shape and create our beliefs. 

Our beliefs are critical because what we believe is what makes us who we are today.  If we believe that nothing is going to change and that we are doomed to a meager existence, then that is the kind of life we will experience.  But if we believe that we are healthy and happy and that life is abundant, then we will live nothing less than healthy, happy and abundant lives.  The bottom line is that we must change our belief system to create the life we desire.

Raw Mind Fitness will show you mind exercises to teach you how to strengthen and expand your conscious mind so that you will be able to control and harness your subconscious and finally start living the life you desire and dream about.

Our goal is to provide you with the tools to change your basic belief system to one where your subconscious will only believe those things that you want for yourself.

It doesn’t happen overnight, but with your work, it WILL happen sooner than you think!

The Answer

I strongly recommend visiting the Raw Magic Super Store and buying “The Answer” and “The Complete Vision Board Kit” by John Assaraf and “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne.. 

books

If there were required reading for Raw Mind Fitness, these three books would be it.  They are well written, easy to understand and contain some of the most important reading for you, not just for success in business and money, but even more importantly, for the quality of your life.  The secret is available in video in both English and Spanish in the Raw Magic Super Store.

Imagine Your Dream Life

Imagine having the peace of mind that you will never have to worry about money again.  Imagine having great health, happiness, confidence, a caring and exciting relationship with your loved one, rich and full relationships with many, the body you always wanted, abundance, creativity, fulfillment, your dream home and anything else you can imagine.

Too Good To Be True?

By now, I am sure you are thinking this is way too good to be true.  Believe me, it is not!  I see people very close to me who are doing their daily mind exercises based on “The Answer” and I see these same people reaping the rewards they are asking for.  I’ve seen enough to make me a true believer and I want to share this knowledge with you.

What are the Mind Exercises?

These exercises we will teach you:

Affirmations
Vision Boards
Subliminal Affirmations
Positive Action
Gratitude
Meditation

These exercise will be described here and should be practiced every day as many times as possible.

Affirmations

This is the beginning and the first of your daily mind exercises.  It’s called an affirmation because you are declaring and confirming your desires to yourself.  The declaration you are making is not true today, but your subconscious does not know that.  You are pronouncing your conscious wishes to your subconscious mind.  With regular and frequent repetition of your affirmations, your subconscious mind will eventually come to believe your words that it hears and will begin to operate with these affirmations as the main force or driver.

Some affirmations suggested
by John Assaraf are:

“I give myself permission to be powerful!”
“I am a success in all that I do!”
“I am totally confident!”
“I am committed, passionate and determined about what I do!”
“I am perfectly happy and healthy!”

Others are:

“I am the best version of me
that I can be!”
“My mind is open to new ideas!”

Results do not happen in a day, but scientific experiments on how long it takes for the brain to rewire itself with new neural pathways suggest that it can take anywhere from 30 days or a bit longer depending on the frequency and emotional impact of your affirmations.  The key is to repeat them as frequently as possible, and with the maximum positive emotion, every day.

Some affirmations suggested by John Assaraf are: “I give myself permission to be powerful!”, “I am a success in all that I do!”, “I am totally confident!”, “I am committed, passionate and determined about what I do!”, “I am perfectly happy and healthy!”, Others are, “I am the best version of me that I can be!” and “My mind is open to new ideas!”.

Try the following ones for controlling your urges for cooked food and alcohol:  “I eat only raw, uncooked foods!”.   I only drink things that are healthy for me!”.  Make some private time and develop your own affirmations.  You will get some great ideas from The Answer and from The Complete Vision Board Kit.

When you make up your affirmations, keep them in the present tense because your subconscious does not understand the past or the future.  It only recognizes the “now”.  Your affirmations should always be positive and never include negative words like “no” or “never” or “not” or “negative”.  Besides only knowing the “now” in terms of tense, your subconscious does not recognize “no” or “not”.  For example, instead of saying, “I don’t eat cooked foods”, say, “I only eat foods that are uncooked and healthy for me”.  Another example is, instead of saying, “I don’t drink alcohol”, say, “I only drink things that are healthy for me”.

Start believing your affirmations with all your heart.  See yourself clearly as the person you dream of being.  You can learn more about the power of affirmations in Raw Mind Fitness.

Make a list of all of your affirmations.  The longer the list, the better.  My list is 3 pages long and growing daily.

Repeat your affirmations over and over and over as many times as you can.  Do this exercise as many times throughout the day as you can for thirty days in a row and you will begin to reshape your subconscious.  Soon, you will know that “you really can!” and your mind will start to open up to new and exciting discoveries.  Yes is a very powerful word.

Repetition of your affirmations is important but the element of emotion will make them work even better.  When you are saying your affirmations, think of an experience that make you feel a strong positive emotion.  Maybe it’s falling in love, maybe it’s succeeding at one of your biggest challenges.  Whatever it is, try to feel the same emotion when you are repeating your affirmations and they will influence your subconscious with greater impact.  I find that certain music helps me to create the strong emotion I am looking for.

Vision Boards

Vision boards are another powerful tool to train your subconscious to believe what you want it to believe by feeding it a steady flow of images of things you desire.  A very large percentage of your brain is used to process images and is therefore very receptive to pictures you feed it. 

You can use a vision board to help create success in wealth, health and happiness.  There are no limits imposed on your imagination.  Be bold!  Think big!  It’s not greedy because your universe will always provide what you believe.

Creating your own vision board is easy and it’s powerful.  You can envision your dream home, the picture of the kind of person you want to be, the relationship you want to be in, the successful cure of a disease and anything your imagine can conceive.  There is no limit!
Refer to “The Complete Vision Board Kit” and “The Answer” to learn more about vision boards and the other mind exercises.

Here are two examples of vision boards:

Man: vision board

Woman: vision board

Start by thinking carefully about what you want in life.  Make a list of things you want or want to be in your dream world.  What does your house look like?  What do you look like?  What kind of images do you see that are important to you?  After you create your list, start going through magazines or the internet and cut out pictures of the images you want.  Don’t be shy.  Don’t hold back.  You deserve the abundance you are asking for.

Fill a large poster board with a collage of pictures and phrases you have cut out that represent the life you want.  Be sure to include short but powerful word messages on your board too.  If you select an image and don’t know why, cut it out and put it on your board.  Follow your intuition.

Place your finished vision board in a place where you see it repeatedly every day.  Look at it as many times as you can.  Put it in plain sight by your bed so you can see it before you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning.

John Assaraf says, “Making a vision board helps you attract into your life things that you want to have, to experience, to achieve, or to become.  By surrounding yourself with images of the life you want, you cause your life to shift and move in the direction of matching those images”.

The testimonials about using vision boards are absolutely amazing.

Recorded and Subliminal Messages

Take your list of affirmations and record your voice speaking them on a recorder.  There are several computer programs like Garage Band that will allow you to record your spoken affirmations.  Now you can play them back to yourself throughout the day on your iPod or iPhone or some other playback device.

You can also record an emotionally charged music track and record that over your voice affirmation track where the music is clearly heard and the voice is barely noticeable and not understandable.  This is a subliminal message to your subconscious.  Your conscious mind will not hear your words, but your subconscious will.

Listen to both versions frequently.  Listen to the version where you can clearly hear your words and then listen to the subliminal version.  Listen to them while you are looking at your vision boards.  Listen to them when you are walking or hiking.  Listen at night and in the morning when you are just going into or coming out of your sleep state.

There is also subliminal software available for your computer that you can learn more about by going online.  Also, the Raw Magic Super Store offers subliminal products for your exercises.

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION:

The SecretThe secret of the Law of Attraction is so powerful that it has been closely guarded for centuries by a handful of rulers and wealthy influential leaders.  Those very few have successfully used the power of the secret to further their own personal wealth in a world where the masses knew nothing about the secret of the Law of Attraction. 
Today, it is still true that only about 1% of our population controls over 95% of the wealth in this world.  Fortunately, that is about to change now because the secret is out and because more and more people are discovering the Law of Attraction.  Read the book, “The Secret” to make a startling discovery.  It is available in the Raw Magic Super Store.

Basically, the Law of Attraction states that whatever you think about, your thoughts will attract those things into your life.  When you think about things you don’t want, your subconscious mind does not understand nor hear the word “don’t”.  It only hears what you are thinking about.  If you are constantly thinking about something you don’t want, then the Law of Attraction will indeed deliver those bad things to you.  If you think about bad things, then you will only attract those bad things into your life.  If you think about good things, then you will only attract good things into your life.  It is therefore, extremely important that you only think about the good things that you do want.

Sometimes it is difficult to think about positive things when you are feeling bad.  But also know that there are ways to control those bad feelings.  You will learn in “The Secret” that there are methods to help make you feel good such as simply forcing yourself to smile.

If you are euphoric, or in other words, feeling good, then you would most likely be thinking about good things rather than bad things.  I have found that one of the main benefits of a raw food diet is that it causes you to feel euphoric much of the time and makes it easier to feel good and allow good things to come into your life.  Anger and fear subside, making it much easier to feel good most of the time.  This is a huge benefit when considering the Law of Attraction.

It is important for you to always operate with the Law of Attraction in your mind.

Meditation

meditationRemember, our mind loses its’ focus about every ten seconds.  Meditation will not only relax your mind and body, but it will teach your mind to hold its’ focus for longer periods.  If you have never tried it before, you may feel a little uneasy or even silly at first because you may not really know what to do.  Whatever you feel, it is important to keep meditating every day.  With time, you will do better and better.

I try to go as long as I can without allowing word thoughts to enter my mind.  This may not sound too hard, but I can assure you, it takes a great deal of practice and focus.  The longer you can go without experiencing any spoken thoughts in your mind, the greater control you gain over your subconscious mind and therefore the more powerful you will become.

There may be many different forms of meditation, but the end result should be the same; to relax and quiet your inner voice and to focus your thoughts like a laser beam while feeling complete inner peace from the outside world.  Meditation and gratitude are essential for you to truly connect with the universe.  It’s your universe and to truly be a part, you must connect with it like plugging into the energy of the power outlet.  Gratitude and meditation will plug you in.

John Assaraf has some suggestions in his books and you will also find a great selection of meditation books, CD’s and videos in the Raw Magic Super Store.

Yoga is another wonderful exercise to strengthen your body and mind and you will also find a great selection of Yoga exercise books, CD’s and videos in the Raw Magic Super Store.

You Have to Do the Work

It’s great to have all these wonderful tools for us to use to achieve our dreams, but if we don’t do some of the legwork, they simply will not happen.  If you look at a picture of the body you want all day and every day forever, you are probably not going to get it unless you do some physical exercise and eat the right foods.  If you want to win the lottery, it’s pretty difficult to win unless you buy a ticket.

It’s essential to have the vision, but it is also essential to do the work.  The visions and affirmations will help guide you to your goal and together with the universe and your work, they will make it happen.

You have to work at it.  There’s an old saying that my mother used to frequently tell me, “God helps those who help themselves”.

gratitudeGratitude

There is great power in gratitude and appreciation.  Gratitude and appreciation make you a part of the universe.  Dreams can only come true if you are completely connected with your universe and that means acknowledgement of its’ existence by being grateful.

Take time every day to thank the universe for everything in your life.
