What is called subconscious mind?

Have you ever felt that this thing which is happening in front of you has happened before?  or I have seen this picture before?

It happens quite a few times you get such an experience. This is because of the data stored in your subconscious mind.
Normally, if you tend to forget something...it isn't permanently deleted from your brain. But in fact it is stored in your subconscious mind! The subconscious mind is like a Recycle Bin which is never emptied. When someone reminds of something that you have forgotten, you try to recollect it from the subconscious mind. Then the transfer of data begins from the subconscious mind to your conscious mind. Interesting? If not then you may stop reading.
For the first time when you tried to learn balancing a bicycle, you may have found it very difficult and you needed full concentration. But once you learn how, can you ever forget it in your lifetime? No. Because it is stored in your subconscious mind. As days progress you may ride a bicycle even when you are talking on a cellphone, even when your concentration is on the caller. Then too you manage to ride the bicycle with least of your efforts. This is because the program to ride the bicycle is stored into you subconscious mind and it is controlled by the subconscious mind. Another interesting fact is that "Subconscious mind gets programmed by repetition and not on logic". You may consider the above example of riding a bicycle.
It wound be very interesting to know that the subconscious mind even controls the most vital functions of our body such as breathing, heart beats, etc. Now when you hear the word breathing you become conscious and the program for breathing gets transferred from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind and it becomes a voluntary action. Even the dreams which you get is controlled by the subconscious mind. Dreams don't come from anywhere they are fragments of your subconscious mind. When you watch a horror movie probably you may get dream that night based on the movie characters, which you weren't getting until that night. The subconscious contains up to 90% of brain's data. Thats the power of subconscious mind!


In this above image you may see the part of the rock that is above the water is our conscious mind while the part that is submerged is the subconscious one! It is up to you how can you use more out of your subconscious mind.

Only this much for now. I will write probably in my next post when I do a little more research on it. Drop your comments below. They will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for reading
