Are You Aware of Your Subconscious Patterns? (And that we operate 90-95% of the time from our subconscious mind?!)

Hi Reader,

Did you know that the key to all healing is awareness? And the fact that our subconscious mind controls 90-95% of our thoughts and behaviors, means that we need to build our awareness in order to respond consciously.

Our subconscious mind begins to form from the time we are born until we are about 7 or 8 years old. So basically, everything that is happening around us goes straight into our subconscious mind (including the music we're listening to and the tv shows and movies we’re watching) and has control over us throughout our adult life. The conscious mind starts forming around 8 years old, and that allows us to accept or reject ideas and concepts. But the fact remains that we’re only operating from 5-10% of our conscious mind in our day to day.

As a result, we have to find ways to build our awareness in order to consciously choose our thoughts and actions. Any artistic process like songwriting, allows us to access the unconscious mind in order to bring to the surface what is buried deep within our subconscious to provide insight and reflection. And once we can access this awareness, we can respond differently to situations and events that occur in our lives and heal from any past trauma in the process.

So isn't it time to give songwriting for healing a try in order to feel better and build awareness around what may be keeping you stuck from living your best life ever?! I invite you to click on the button below to schedule your free one-on-one, twenty minute online mini-session to get started!

Finally I will leave you with this… in the words of world renowned psychiatrist and psychologist, Carl Young, ‘Until you make your unconscious conscious, it will direct you and you will call it fate.’

To your continued happiness and success,

~Andrea of BLB ✨💜🎶

P.S. No musical experience is required and all skill levels of musicians are welcome to book a free mini-session to learn more!
