Do you know that as a human being you only use 10% of your brain? No doubt you have heard this on several occasions and more so during school examinations while your mother continuously reinforced on this very fact! But jokes apart, have you ever really thought about the fact that if the statement was really true , what could have been the ramifications if you could have used your brain to its 100% potential? You could have achieved everything that you so conveniently term as miracles today. The human brain is believed to be something that possesses tremendous powers but is too complicated for science to unravel all its mysteries till now.

Since ancient age, various religions and cultures have prophesized the power of the mind. Age old sadhus, monks, spiritual gurus, monks and preachers have promoted the fact that reality is nothing but a product of the mind. The ancient monks were known to perform miracles, light up fires, caused rainfall, ascended from the ground while meditating, cured illnesses and even moved matter with their mind power. Are these all mere stories or is it really possible? Does your mind power have the ability to mould and create reality as you want it to be? The answer is yes.

Moving forward from the ancient cultures and practices of which we have no real proofs, one can discuss contemporary concepts like the law of attraction, Affirmations, hypnotism and the like in our New Age thoughts. The New age spirituality refers to the spiritual movement that seeks the ultimate or universal truth, the highest potential of man. It is more of an individualistic spiritual progression in nature instead of based on any religious doctrines.

The law of attraction promotes human mind power as the sole source behind an individual’s destiny. It says that if a person directs all his attention and energy on a goal and then has complete faith on its occurrence in the near future, then the power of your thoughts and energy will attract your goal and manifest it in your real life.

Mind power can also be experienced with continuous affirmations to your mind. For example, if you are sick and you continuously say to yourself that ‘I am getting better’, then your subconscious mind will pick up this affirmation and acts towards it and you will see that you will become healthy. But the trick to effectively affirm your mind lies in the practice of truly believing your affirmations yourself. That is, you need to truly believe that you are getting well, only then will your subconscious mind power act on the affirmations to manifest it.

meditation is the best known technique for increasing your mind power. Basic meditation techniques like visualizing your god or for that matter anything in the centre of your forehead and concentrating on it will increase your concentration power. Gradually after this, advances meditation results in increased awareness of one’s subconscious and further honing of your mind power.

If you want your mind power to take the driver seat and become the pilot of your life’s journey then the best thing to do would be to start with basic meditation and affirmations. Do away with all negative thoughts so that you only attract positivity and good things in your life. Once you advance to the stage where you can unleash you mind power to its full potential, you will see that you can manifest abundance or for that matter anything you desire by directing all your energy on it. The power of visualization and faith would facilitate the laws of attraction to work for you in creating your own future.
