What is the difference between the conscious and the subconscious mind?
I don’t want to delve into the very technical definitions of the conscious and subconscious mind, but basically the subconscious is the part of the brain that functions in a more automatic way. I like this example Don Mottin, a very gifted hypnotherapist, gave: “Do this little exercise: First, say the alphabet out loud. Try it. Notice how fast it comes out. This is your subconscious mind at work. Now, I am going to make it easier for you. I am going to diminish your task by half. You only have to say every other letter!! Do it.
