Encountering the Subconscious

In this evening’s class we covered the first thing that a serious meditator will encounter as he begins his journey within and that is the subconscious mind. To put it very simply. One could look at the mind as layers. You have the conscious mind then above it the subconscious and above that the superconscious (intuitive mind). To go from the conscious mind, where most people predominantly function, to the superconscious mind one would have to go through the subconscious mind. And if your subconscious is cluttered with past unresolved emotional experiences then this will be a hinderance. So, we explored this area deeper and provided the students with tools on how to work with the subconscious as we begin on the meditative path.
