Did you know that we only use 10% of our mind power? It’s pretty amazing to think about � what could we accomplish if we could somehow tap into the 90% of our minds which usually go unused? Certainly, there is a lot of unexplored potential right there in our own minds.

It’s been thought by scientists for a long time that those with extrasensory and psychic powers in fact have these powers because they can access their minds to a fuller extent than most of the rest of us can. It’s believed that these people or either born with this increased ability, or they were able to develop their mindpower later on.

How these abilities are developed and used is not entirely understood yet, but there is still research being done into discovering how these psychic abilities and mind power can be developed in order to realize our true potential and change our reality.

Studies show that our minds may be able to change the world more than the world can change our minds!

‘The Secret’ and other works about the law of attraction lay out how to use mindpower to change their lives and even the world!

The law of attraction is all about cause and effect. The principle holds that our thoughts have no less of an effect than our physical actions and that focused thoughts can attract outcomes to us.

Through our subconscious minds, we can use our mindpower to channel the universe’s energy and tap into our natural psychic abilities; the subconscious is a very powerful thing.

In order to develop your mindpower, you need to get your conscious and subconscious minds in communication with each other. There a number of different methods to build this link and help you increase your mindpower.

Use affirmations:- Affirmations simply mean that you repeat a positive phrase several times a day to yourself, and eventually, your subconscious mind picks up on this and integrates the message into a fully formed belief.

For example, you could increase your self esteem with affirmation such as ‘I am a confident, successful person’. You can also use affirmations to break bad habits, using sayings like ‘I do not smoke and have no desire to have a cigarette’.

Affirmations eventually sink into the subconscious mind when repeated. Your subconscious then influences your behavior to bring about the desired result.

If you take this a stage further, you can realize that ultimately, anything you want to change can change, not just behaviors you might want to change, but anything that currently occurs in your reality. This is truly mind power at its best.

Visualization:- Visualization is something which is very effective in increasing your mindpower. You need to focus your mind, eyes closed and see the things which you want to happen in your mind. When you keep focusing on the image of what you want, your mindpower will be built up and you’ll eventually be able to make it a reality through your efforts.

You can use visualization to help you develop some of the psychic abilities which are naturally present in every human being. You can visualize yourself predicting the future or communicating via telepathy. If you keep practicing, visualization can bring these latent abilities to the surface and increase your mindpower even further.

Using hypnosis:- Hypnosis is another way you can communicate with your subconscious and therefore develop your mind power. If you visit a hypnotherapist or professional hypnotist, he or she will help you achieve complete relaxation and will then suggest positive changes to your subconscious mind that you will actually remember once you come out of your hypnotic state.

You can also try a sort of ‘self hypnosis’ by listening to a recorded a hypnotherapist guide you through a session on the tape. This is somewhat advantageous to a live session, because it’s less expensive than a live session and you can also listen to the hypnotherapist again and again.

Brainwave entrainment:- This is a method of developing mindpower which uses new audio technology to attune the brainwaves to frequencies which can improve memory, stimulate the release of endorphins for pain relief and more.

Some frequencies attune your mind to the trance state where it becomes easy to speak directly to the subconscious and thus increase mindpower.

There are also frequencies which stimulate the chakras � these are the human body’s energy centers. The third eye chakra is a chakra which controls psychic abilities.

Each and every one of us has psychic abilities naturally. These abilities normally stay in the subconscious mind and are not used. However, with the right techniques, your mindpower can be developed to the point where these latent abilities come to the surface and can be used.

It’s really more accurate to say that we unlock our mindpower more than we develop it. The 10% of our minds which we use everyday can accomplish a lot � but just imagine all of the possibilities that using the other 90% can make a reality.
