Is There An Easier Way To Unlock The Power of The Mind?

By: Lorelei Fenton

Science tells us that we currently use no more than 70% of our brain's capabilities. Yet we struggle to cram our brains with content in this, the information age, where it seems to be particularly important to 'know everything.' Then too, along with the cramming comes the seemingly fantastical claims that we can 'have it all'- including wealth, happiness, abundance, and breath-taking love- simply by making up our minds to it, and using our brains in a more productive fashion.

I have been around the block a bit when it comes to tools to work with my mind. I have done yoga, meditations, and body-mind-spirit practices where I go in the body to access the mind. I have read Louise Haye Affirmation books and cards daily. I have attended 12-step programs and read wonderful books to instill new and positive ideas and thoughts into my brain. I have attempted, with some good success through all of these methods, to reframe the very thoughts in my head.

But how do you actually achieve this mind over matter? How do you actually increase mental power? It is a question we all ask ourselves- even those of us that believe it to be possible. And in this age of enlightenment, I think a lot of us believe in this much-talked-about phenomenon. Yet as we try to do it, we seem so far from our far-reaching goals. And since we are human, our many successes go largely unacknowledged, creating frustration.

My experiences with 'mind over matter' have included some life-changing things- such as a course called The Landmark Forum- where you delve into the very question of what it means to be human. I have looked at myself as a human being, and how my very self was created at a young age. I have dissected the process so that I could shift my way of being to become all that I want to be. In this process I have looked at the very way my brain operates, which sometimes empowers me but very often dis-empowers me.

You could think of your mind like a 'answers machine.' You could consider that when you put information in, an answer comes out. Now the answer is not always a pleasant one. In fact very often what goes in the machine to form the mind's answer is flawed material. The mind picks out the traumas, painful occurrences, and scarred experiences of life to form an answer for. In essence, the mind does not choose the day-to-day grind to worry about. It only picks the incidents that stand out- hence the answer is based on only one incident out of many- and so flawed. The mind then makes note of what should be done to address this problem. This is quite often in the form of a negative thought such as "Don't trust anyone." Some of these thoughts become such a part of us, we can't even see them.

One has to wonder if the mind truly can speak to the very cells in your body. One has to wonder if the claims people make about the mind's power to cure all manner of diseases are really true. Can the mind cause you to lose weight effortlessly? Can you become a master at some unknown task overnight. Is it perhaps true that faith- your faith in your mind's ability- can move mountains. If we believe, can we accomplish a miracle? And truly, this level of believing itself seems to be a miracle.

In the matter of 'mind over matter', I have recently uncovered a strong desire to skip over all of the hard work. I yearn to give up the daily reading of affirmations, and little bathroom books, and just have my brain work for me, instead of against me, as a matter of course. And this desire and wish has led me to the concept of "Brain Entrainment." My fascination is this question. Can I actually retrain my brain to think in a more functional, empowering way- without even working at it? Can I even do this in my sleep. Many people say it is infinitely possible- and even probable- that this can happen, when given the right technique. I am experimenting with this method even now, and will let you know the outcome.

Brain entrainment is one powerful tool to increase mental power and access the power of my mind. The other tool is to do it every day until it sinks in. This may well be the true test of training my brain. And one that many of us need to pass- no matter which methods we choose.
