Human mind consists of two parts. One is the
known part of mind referred to as the
objective or conscious mind and the other the
secret chamber of mind called subjective mind
or subconscious mind. The routine operations
like thinking, deliberating, reasoning, planning
and controlling the body organs for physical
actions are done by the conscious mind. On
the other hand, most of the secret and
significant activities of life are managed by the
subconscious mind.
Things belonging to past memory become
stored in the secret mind. Roots of permanent
attributes of personality like habits, addictions,
temperament, attitudes, intrinsic likings and
dislikings sprout in the secret mind. Many a
time, on having sufficient information about
the harmful consequences of an activity, the
reasoning faculty of outer mind of a person
dissuades the body to act in a particular
manner. Nevertheless, in such moments,
unknown to the person, the secret mind
counteracts, forcing the individual to act
otherwise by succumbing to an allurement to
a known harmful object or activity. That is
why, people, find it difficult to give up
addictions in spite of being aware of their
harmful consequences. In other words,
informing about the harm, the logic in the
conscious mind forbids to act, but the
addiction ingrained in the secret mind forces
the body to repeat the activity.
The secret mind also affects our responses to
events and activities related to other persons.
For instance, one hardly reacts on knowing
about the death of an unknown person. On
the other hand, information of death of an
intimate friend or a family member makes one
inconsolably unhappy. Similarly, in the routine
of life, we casually meet so many persons every
day and hardly ever remember them, but a
particular individual leaves such a deep
impression on us that we desire to meet him
again and again.
Casual happenings, sights and sounds around
us do not leave much impression on our outer
mind. On the other hand, when the phenomena
are intensely stimulating, the impressions
recorded by the conscious mind are carried
over to the deep recesses of the secret mind
with extraordinary consequences. The secret
mind hardly involves itself in analysis or
reasoning, but once something gets stored into
it, it passionately holds it in storage for a very
long time. Since all autonomic functions of the
body like beating of heart, circulation of blood,
respiration, digestion of food, sleeping and
awakening, are controlled by this very secret
mind, whatever information is stored in it ,
decisively influences the functions of the body.
A spontaneous strong belief carried to the
secret mind can instantaneously kill or cure a
person. It is said that once a tiger leaped to
attack a hunter. Though the victim received
only superficial wounds in the encounter, the
very thought of certainty of being killed by
the ferocious animal so much frightened him,
that he died on the spot.
Experienced doctors too sometimes become
sick because of the psychological impact
created on their secret mind by prolonged
treatment of chronically ill patients for long
periods. One doctor is reported to have
become paralyzed after treating paralytic
patients for a long time. On hearing the verdict
of sentence of death itself, many convicts are
known to have died, much before the actual
execution of the capital punishment. The reason
in such cases is acceptance by the secret mind
of an event as inevitability. The body abides by
the decision of the secret mind and immediately
acts accordingly. In Prana therapy the therapist
endeavors to influence this very secret mind to
make it work for healing the patient.
Now let us examine how a piece of information
reaches the deep recesses of the secret mind.
The external faculties in the conscious mind
generally do not accept any information as fact
without examining its various aspects and
carrying out a lot of reasoning. Even after the
accuracy of some information is ascertained,
unless associated with deep faith and belief,
it does not filter down to the inner secret mind.
With gradual, repeated, persistent endeavors,
the external mind can be made to develop such
a degree of faith and conviction in anything.
(Addictions to drugs and habits and outcome of
“Brainwashing” illustrate this phenomenon.).
It is theoretically possible to condition the
secret mind to act for healing the body by
“brainwashing” the conscious mind. However,
while treating a patient, the therapist does not
have enough time and opportunity to use the
methodology of prolonged motivation for
transforming the mindset of the patient. For
treating a patient, the therapist requires such
therapy, which could produce miraculous
results in the shortest possible time. In such a
situation there remains no option but to bypass
the external mind and interact directly with
the secret mind of the patient. This is the
practice followed by the hypnotists. The
hypnotist sedates the external mind of the
subject by injecting personal Prana energy into
the subject and interacting directly with the
secret mind of the latter presents astonishing
demonstrations.
In the book titled “Par Kaya Pravesh” (Entering
into other’s body), this author (Pandit Shriram
Sharma, Acharya) has given details of simple
techniques, using which, the common man can
sedate the outer mind or interact with the
secret mind of some other person by other
methods. By practicing these techniques it is
possible to use one’s own Prana energy for
sedating the outer mind of some individual. In
the next episode, a simple yogic exercise will
be described for sedating the outer mind by
using affirmations. (In parlance of Yoga, this
exercise is called Shithilikaran.) With the help
of this method, even a therapist uninitiated in
techniques given in the above book can motivate
the secret mind to some extent.
