The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy
Have you ever noticed how you get a little nervous before you make an important decision? Have you ever noticed that your feet suddenly feel very cold when you are in a crowd of people? Or how your heart starts to beat faster when the phone rings or when you think of an old love? These are all signs of your body’s reaction to some subconsciously planted fears.
The human mind is a wonderful, powerful and very mysterious instrument that can cause us many problems. According to Dr. Joseph Murphy, life experiences are the outcome of the workings of your conscious and subconscious brains. He recommends practical methods for changing one’s fate, mostly through focusing and diverting this miracle force.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, which is a how-to manual on managing your own behavior to acquire what you want has sold millions of copies and is still widely used today. Here are three teachings to enable you connect into your unconscious mind:
- Use visualization to take advantage of the placebo effect.
- Allow yourself to sleep if you can’t decide between various possibilities.
- Make a genuine effort to wish others well, for jealousy only serves to obstruct your own progress.

Use Visualization to Use the Placebo Effect
What is a placebo effect? The placebo effect occurs when a person’s physical or mental health seems to recover after receiving a placebo or ‘dummy’ treatment. A placebo is a pill that has no actual, chemical, or biological effect and is typically comprised of sugar. However, if patients feel they are receiving powerful treatment, they may still experience some of the advantages.
The book’s main point is that you may apply your imagination to offer ideas to your subconscious in order to acquire what you desire. Surprising to you, your mind will shift your actions further towards creating those beliefs a reality if you repeat them enough times. There are several techniques to do this, but the majority of them can be summed up as visualization, which is imagining oneself attaining a certain objective or result.
When in Hesitation, Go to Sleep
When you’re having trouble deciding, another approach to employ your subconscious is to just sleep on it. After a good night’s sleep, you can often create more assured judgments.
Murphy uses the example of a lady who was given a job on the other side of the nation. It paid twice her present pay, but she was unclear whether she wanted to go across the country for it. She went to sleep while meditating in the evening. Her gut instinct validated her earlier concerns, and she chose not to accept the offer. She discovered that the firm had gone bankrupt a few months later.
The subconscious mind processes information faster and in diverse ways than the conscious mind. Allowing it to work while you sleep can result in better thinking and a more solid viewpoint the next day.

Wish Others for Good
While your subconscious may be quite valuable if directed correctly, it can also cause you to get in your own way.
Murphy tells the story of a salesperson who never appeared to be recognized at work. Despite exceeding all of his peers, he did not advance in the ranks. As that came out, he had a feeling his employer didn’t like him. Then, he unconsciously acted in a hostile manners himself. He quickly obtained a raise after changing his own attitude and wishing his employer true success.
If you secretly detest people for possessing what you desire, you will make it more difficult for yourself to have it. Don’t let yourself become a victim. Maintain a good attitude and support others.
