What are Mantras and How do
Positive Re-Affirmations work?
The mind is a wonderful, complex and unique machine that is constantly working.
The mind has amazing mechanisms to protect the individual from danger and its main goal is survival. The mind has two key parts that help us stay in balance, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is the logical and organizer, manager of thoughts while the subconscious is the gatherer of data and putting memories together as needed without logic only using comparable data.
​
The mind is constantly learning from the individual, looking at prior experiences, going into the deep banks of memories and prior outcomes to choose the best solution to a situation where the individual needs protection.
​
Unfortunately, when the mind is overwhelmed and on survival mode for long periods of time, it begins to shut down and allows the subconscious mind to take over, which it (the subconscious mind) then panics and starts reliving all scenarios (mostly negative ones) so fear takes over.
​
Mantras and Positive Re-Affirmations are ways to keep the subconscious mind focused on the positive while the conscious mind needs to rest, so the subconscious does not go into panic mode.
