She prayed in the above manner several times daily, and her mother had a most remarkable recovery after a few days, much to the amazement of her specialist. He complimented her on her great faith in the power of God.

Releasing The Kinetic Action Of The Subconscious Mind

A psychologist friend of mind told me that one of his lungs was infected. X rays and analysis showed the presence of tuberculosis. At night being going to sleep he would quietly affirm, “Every cell, nerve, tissue and muscle of my lungs are not being made whole, pure and perfect. My whole body is being restored to health and harmony.”

These are not his exact words, but they represent the essence of what he affirmed. A complete healing followed in about a month's time. Subsequent X rays showed a perfect healing.

I wanted to know his method, so I asked him why he repeated the words prior to sleep. Here is his reply, “The kinetic action of the subconscious mind continues thought your sleep time period. Hence, give the subconscious mind something good to work on as you drop off into slumber.” This was very wise answer. In thinking of harmony and perfect health, he never mentioned his trouble by name.

I strongly suggest that you cease talking about your ailments or giving them a name. The only sap from which they draw life is your attention and fear of them. Like the above mentioned psychologist, become a mental surgeon. Then your troubles will be cu off like dead branches are pruned from a tree.

If you are constantly naming your aches and symptoms, you inhibit the kinetic action, which means the release of the healing power and energy of your subconscious mind. Furthermore, by the law of your own mind, these imaginings tend to take shape, As the thing I greatly feared . Fill your mind with the great truths of life and walk forward in the light of love.

The Passing-Over Technique For Impregnating The Subconscious

Know that in your deeper mind is infinite intelligence and Infinite Power. Just calmly think over what you want; see it coming into fuller fruition from this moment forward.

Your Subconscious Will Accept Your Blueprint

If you were building a new home for yourself and your family, you know that you would be intensely interested in regard to the blueprint for your home; you would see to it that the builders conformed to the blueprint. You would watch the material and select only the best wood, steel, in fact, the best of everything. What about your mental home and your mental blueprint for happiness and abundance? All your experiences and everything that enters into your life depend upon the nature of the mental building blocks which you use in the construction of your mental home.

If your blueprint is full of mental patterns of fear, worry, anxiety or lack and if you are despondent, doubtful and cynical, then the texture of the mental material you are waving into your mind will come forth as more toil, care, tension, anxiety and limitation of all kinds.

The most fundamental and the most far reaching activity in life is that which you build into your mentality every waking hour. Your word is silent and invisible; nevertheless, it is real.

You are building your mental home all the time, and your thought and mental imagery represent your blueprint. Hour by hour, moment by moment, you can build radiant health, success and happiness by the thoughts you think, the ideas which you harbor, the beliefs you accept and the scenes that you rehearse in the hidden studio of your mind. This stately mansion, upon the construction of which you are perpetually engaged, is your personality, your identity in this plane, your whole life story on this earth.
