which anyone can apply in their life and can get desired results, the reason behind writing this
book was to explain basic fundamental rules of life to each and every layman out there also this
book consists of simplest terminology which you use in your daily life.

Dr. Murphy clarified that it is not particularly your creed that accepts your wishes but your
subconscious responds to mental picture that you created while aspiring for something.

He mentioned that subconscioius mind is treasure house within you and it can do wonders within
days and can absolutely change your life, he has differentiated between conscious mind and
subconscious mind and mentioned that subconscious mind cannot question back like your
conscious mind which questions back for almost everything. Anything and everything which is
impressed in your subconscious mind will definitely expressed.

Subconscious mind controls all functions of human body even after one fall asleep, it still works

mentioned it is your right to be rich and your subconscious mind is your partner in getting

Subconscious mind along with wonders of sleep can do magic to anyone and sleeping is a form
of prayer and if one is depriving oneself from sleep he may be calling certain disaster it is
connected with your happiness, happiness is a choice either you can be happy all the time or be
sorrowful ultimately it is a choice to be happy unconditionally, as there is no point being
unhappy all the time. Forgive often people and move ahead it is secret to be happy and no to
ponder over silly things that doesn’t even matters.

One can break or build a habbit witin a short span of time, mental picture is the easiest way to go
ahead. Keep focusing on what you want and keep moving on.

Using subconscious mind to remove fear is also helpful as it is man’s greatest enemy, you can
start with thing which you are afraid of and keep away fear of failure.

 SUMMARY
This book starts with focusing on subconscious mind and infinite riches that are in your
surrounding if one opens his mental eyes and looks within one can live his life peacefully and
enthusiastically, for instance if you want to wake up at 4 AM in the morning confess to you
subconscious mind prior to sleep and it will awaken you at the precise time.

Subconscious mind reacts to each and everything and it is builder of your body, tell yourself
every night prior to sleep that you’ll have a successful, wealthy and prosperous life it will react
to you in a certain way in which you give it a command. Every thought is a cause and every
situation is an effect like you sow the seeds of harmony among family, friends, colleagues, loved
ones etc. in your subconscious mind it will give exact output as you put input in your
subconscious mind.

It is like a captain navigating a ship, similarly you can also navigate your mind by giving right
orders and it will act accordingly if you give it directions regarding your good health it will give
you the same and also make sure to consider mental pictures as a important tool to accomplish
desired thing.

Positive affirmation is the most important aspect as being positive will give you positive energy
and never give negative affirmations like “ I cannot perform this” or “ I am unable to accomplish
that” nothing is beyond human ability just have faith in yourself as the subconscious mind reacts
in a certain way and if you affirm negatively it will understand like you are unable or incapable
of doing a particular thing.

The law of life is law of belief, a belief is a thought in your head and it is not necessary always to
think about those things which harms you, rather use it to achieve great things like tranquility
and prosperity change your thoughts and change your world. Belief is a tool by which you can
just see wonders within a short span of time it is easily understandable by an analogy if an
magnatised metal will lift about 12 times its own weight, and if you detach it from metal it will
not be able to lift a feather, likely there are two types of men who is full of self confidence and
he will do everything with a belief that he will conquer in all the phases of his life on the
contrary there is a man who always stays anxious and doubtful and do everything with a doubt of

Page 7 of 14
failing then he surely will not conquer in any phase of his life so keep believing in yourself and
be like the fisrt guy who is always confident and cheerful.

There is a saying “think good and good follows. Think evil and evil follows” you are what you
think all day so basically by just thinking good you can cut off all of your problems, and by
thinking bad you can invite a lot of trouble and one special thing about subconscious mind is that
it doesn’t question back if you says “I’ll get into judiciary one day” he may get into judiciary.

You can choose between two aspects of the same coin as happiness and sadness are two faces of
the same coin, if you choose to be happy and cheerful the world will entertain you in the same
way,this is the best way to react to situations in which you may panic. Great power is in your
hand to choose whichever thing you want and this is the beauty of it, choose happiness over
sadness.

The opinions of others has no powers on you, you can independently choose and reject other

‘s statement irrespective of nature of their statement it is totally upto your discretion and be wise
while choosing your words your subconscious mind don”t recognize jokes and it can only accept
all these things say things which enhance your performance.

Whichever thing our subconscious mind perceives to be true it will pass on it to you, so believe
in joyful life with abundance of happiness and tranquility.

While we sleep our subconscious mind performs all the vital functions within our body like
when we sleep our heart continues to beat rhythmically, our blood circulation goes on same as
when we are wake. The hair on our body continues to grow irrespective of we are awake or
asleep. All our parts are more active when we sleep as compare to when we wake up as many
scientists gets their answer when they sleep.
As a test ask your subconscious mind to do a certain miracle and prove its power to yourself, the
law of action and reaction is universal, whatever you think is action and what you gets is reaction
so check your thoughts carefully think twice before using a certain types of negative words or
negative thoughts.
Always think about end result as a happy ending, and do so in a way that thers is no hurdles in
midway and ending is joyful

Page 8 of 14
Always keep in mind that you subconscious mind is the only healer that is within you, you just
have to sow the seeds of peace and you will find that peace will come to you as a result and it
will be manifested in your life it is like the process of farming wherein a farmers sow seeds for
any particular crop and give them water and fertilizers accordingly as per need, at the end the
result will be manifested here the result is crop. It becomes possible only when one initiates and
plant a certain idea in one’s mind and go ahead with timely nurture that thought, results will be
wonderful.

If you pray for someone else, faithfully believe in your prayer and you can change their thoughts.

Miracles that take place in religious institutions are just due to blind faith in that institution and it
acts on your mind like some mysterious power, but in simple terms it is your subconscious mind
that heals you because every institution responds to wishes but what is the reason that it gets
complete it is just your subconscious mind acts to blind faith if you have faith in anything it will
react.

All the ailments in your body first manifest in your mind because everything starts within your
mind, it is impossible that something happens and it didn’t occur in your mind/ you can be
hypnotized by any person if he tells you continuously that this gonna happen soon, your mind
will react to this and this shows how your subconscious mind works.

Only subconscious mind can heal any problem that occurs in one’s life be it financial, love life,
or mental breakdown so have faith and wonders will happen, subconscious mind can deal with
any problem just be a good commander who commands with authority and it will be amazing.

It is not mandatory that your object should be real, either real or a myth your subconscious mind
reacts to anything and everything, it will yield you results. Faith is just a thought in your mind
which handles everything.

Just imagine eventuality and feel it at the bottom of your heart as when you send end result to
your subconscious mind it will ultimately give you desired results. It is naïve to believe in
something that hurts you or harms rather believe in the good health, opulence, and super power
helping you.

Page 9 of 14
Staying faithful to your prayers and mental pictures can give you desired results, just believe like
this is happening and vividly imagine about that think may a times in a day, you’ll be amazed by
results.

Blind faith is a technique which if applied don’t need any further understanding of complications
involved in it, you just have to blindly trust that if I wish this thing, it will happen ultimately.
Forget all complications and just focus on what you want in your life to happen, this process is
known as blind faith.

There are certain techniques by which you can take control over your subconscious mind, like
visualization technique, it implies visualizing ideas vividly as if they are alive and you’re
perceiving them just like it is happening in your real life. Other technique is mental movie
method which includes creating a picture in your mind, exact picture and exact scene of your
desires. A Chinese idiom “ a picture is worth a thousand words” portrays this techniques. Thank
you technique involves thanking in advance the brain will perceive it as it is gonna happen soon
and it response accordingly. Another one is affirmation technique wherein you affirm something
repeatedly over the period of time it comes true.

Our subconscious mind works 24 hours in a day without taking any break, if you sends negative
energy to it, then it will get disturbed and doesn’t performs to its potential so stay vivacious and
keep in touch with your subconscious mind, tell you subconscious mind you’re doing well and
achieve whatever you wanna achieve.

This is proven scientific fact that after every eleven months your body reconstrut itself so an new
body after every eleven months, so why to cry over spilt milk if anything bad happened in past
why are you still pondering over it, go with the flow if you have new body then why are you
carrying old ideas, just begin today to stay faithful.

Why most of our life we stay healthy and seldom we fall ill, the reason behind this is it is very
much normal to be healthy and abnormal to be sick.

Whatever we think consciously get transferred into our subconscious mind, so give positive
affirmations which helps in staying healthy throughout your life.

 REVIEW
The power of your subconscious mind is a book which is based on functions of your
subconscious mind and how it can do wonders. This book is all about how one can change one’s
life and live a decent life. It focuses on the treasure house within humans and how this can be life
changing.

Book also tells us basic functioning of our subconscious mind and how it performs basic
functions of human body.

This book is a life changing book for me as it gives me insights regarding subconscious mind
and I can apply these techniques easily as they are so simple. Some techniques are so simple that
even a younger children can follow at a early stage of his life.

Further it distinguishes between conscious and subconscious mind and how we can basically
control our daily negativity to stop affecting our subconscious mind, again and again it tells us
that living peacefully is your right but otherwise is not the norm. by focusing on our
subconscious mind we can achieve whatever we wanna achieve.

Everyone loves to get wealthy this book mentions many practical methods to get wealthy within
a short span of time. Also getting wealthy is not a sin as most of middle class people claims it to
be. Money is a symbol and it is there to give you comfort from every aspect but people generally
takes it otherwise they think that excess money is harmful for them there is nothing like that.

Sleep is also a very deep aspect related to our subconscious when we sleep our subconscious
mind gets more active and reacts more to everything we usually think during the we are
conscious.

Marital problems can also be solved with the help of subconscious mind as per this book, divorce
first occurs in one’s mind then it comes to real life. Also one can attract ideal spouse with the
help of subconscious mind.

Happiness is a choice and it is in your hands to be happy, and when we stay happy our mind
basically feels good in return it put forth good things in our life.
