What is the difference between the subconscious mind and conscious mind?
Terms such as “conscious mind,” and “subconscious mind” are theoretical constructs. One way to think about the difference is this. Your conscious mind is your thinking, analyzing, logical mind. The subconscious mind has been characterized as the creative mind, the intuitive mind, the healing mind, and the “higher consciousness.” Whatever definition you prefer is fine. When a hypnotherapist speaks to or about your “subconscious” mind, she is referring to the aspect of the mind that can bypass conscious resistance and respond to hypnotic suggestions.
