Researchers have said that we only use about 10% of our brains' capacities, which means that fully 90% is left dormant, untouched. Could you imagine what you might be capable of if you could access even a small part of the remaining unused part of your mind power?

What is power of mind? Scientists have known for a long time that there are some people who can access different aspects of the unconscious mind to manifest various abilities, strengths and perceptions. These abilities can often include the range of extra-sensory and psychic abilities.

However, these people aren't different or more special than you or I. Instead, we all have the ability to access our unconscious minds such that we can tap into our unique gifts and powers.

Unfortunately, the majority of people possess these skills in a latent form. They remain locked in the unused ninety percent, but they are present behind those barriers.

The key to unlocking your full potential lies in finding a way to free those latencies and access the power behind the unused 90% of your unconscious mind. You may find you have the ability to manifest those things you desire most in life. You could also find that powers such as telepathy, remote viewing, telekinesis, precognition, levitation and other aspects of your mind could be unleashed.

How do you access your unconscious mind so that you can begin to explore and unleash these and other abilities?

Affirmations are one great way to begin to access your unconscious mind and unlock untapped potential. Your unconscious mind is what drives your entire life, its engine, so to speak. Every choice you make in everything you do comes in some respect from your unconscious mind and from the thoughts that reside there. In some cases, those thoughts then go to your conscious mind, and you act on the information you're given.

Affirmations work because you can repeat these positive messages or phrases to yourself several times a day, and as you do this, your unconscious mind eventually picks up on what's being said and makes it useful to that unconscious part of your mind that's usually not part of your conscious attention. Your unconscious mind and the affirmation itself work together to make your conscious thoughts and your thought process in general more positive, more in tune with what you want, and more focused as well.

So for a moment, let's take a look at what you say to yourself. Do you say, for example, 'I can't afford it,' or 'I'll always be fat,' or, 'I don't deserve to be happy'? You can take what you say to yourself and change it to something positive so that ultimately, your unconscious mind will pick up on it and begin to make it happen in a positive way.

Visualization: Many people mistake visualization for simple day dreaming. There is a significant difference between the two and the biggest difference has to do with what you tell your unconscious mind you really want as opposed to what you already know is just a daydream.

So, try this: Picture yourself with your life the way you want it. You can literally change your life from the inside out, your level of happiness, abundance, positive relationships, and so on simply by visualizing yourself already having those things you want to bring to fruition. Your unconscious mind simply can't help but take up those images and bring them to conscious thought, where you'll simply see that things can open up so that you can make them happen.

Hypnosis, too, is a good way to access your unconscious mind and may be the easiest. Hypnosis has given very positive results to people who wanted to lose weight, increase self-esteem, attract success, or quit smoking, as just a few examples.

You can do self-hypnosis as an easy way to develop your own mind powers, as you have time. Listen to recordings by trained hypnotherapists that will reinforce those affirmations you've worked to transfer to your unconscious mind.
