Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast I explore what it really takes to create lasting change in the subconscious mind, and why willpower on its own is never enough.

I begin by looking at why surface level tools, like repeating affirmations, often do not work the way we hope. On the conscious level they can sound positive, but if your subconscious does not feel safe, or does not believe what you are saying, it will quietly hold on to the old pattern. I explain why real transformation has to reach the part of you where your beliefs and habits are actually stored.

From there, I introduce three core ingredients that the subconscious needs in order to change, safety, emotion and repetition. I talk about how safety opens the door to change, because your system will not let go of familiar patterns if it feels threatened. I then explore the role of emotion, how genuine emotional engagement gives new beliefs and experiences enough charge to register deep within you.

We also look at repetition, and why one powerful moment is rarely enough on its own. Your subconscious learns through what you come back to again and again, so we explore how consistent practice, over time, turns new ways of thinking and feeling into your new normal.

Throughout the episode, I connect this back to our earlier explorations of the conscious and subconscious mind, and the nervous system. You will see how safety in the body, emotional truth in the heart, and repeated practice in your daily life all work together to rewire your inner world.

By the end of this conversation, my intention is that you understand not just what needs to change, but how to work with your subconscious in a way that is kinder, deeper and much more effective.

Key takeaways

1. We have explored the difference between the conscious mind that thinks it is in charge and the subconscious mind where your patterns actually live.
2. Understanding the nervous system, especially the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, is essential for creating the safety needed for change.
3. Rewiring beliefs in the subconscious requires three things, a sense of safety, emotional engagement and consistent repetition.
4. Change is far more effective when your thoughts, emotions and physiology are aligned, rather than relying on mindset alone.
5. Practices that create safety in the body and genuine emotional resonance give new beliefs a chance to take root.
6. The journey of transformation rests on the three pillars of safety, emotion and repetition, which together support lasting subconscious change.

Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast, I explore the powerful link between your nervous system and your subconscious, and why that connection is often the reason change feels so hard.

I begin by breaking down the autonomic nervous system in simple terms, focusing on the two main branches that constantly shape how you experience the world. The sympathetic nervous system is your fight or flight response, the part that switches on when you feel under threat. When this is running the show, you are more likely to feel anxious, reactive and stuck in survival mode.

In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system is the part of you that supports rest, digestion and healing. It is the state in which your body feels safe, your mind opens, and you can access more creativity and clarity. I talk about how an overactive sympathetic system can make it almost impossible to think clearly, make grounded decisions or connect with your deeper inner wisdom.

From there, I share how your nervous system acts as a bridge between your mind, your body and your subconscious. When your body does not feel safe, your subconscious will do everything it can to keep you in familiar patterns, even if those patterns are painful. When you learn to bring your system back into states of safety, you create the conditions for real change.

I then guide you through practical tools, including resistance breathing, to help you shift out of stress and back into a more parasympathetic state. These practices are simple but powerful ways to calm your system, reconnect with yourself, and become more available to the deeper work of transformation.

Key takeaways

• Your nervous system is a living bridge between your mind, your body and your subconscious, and it quietly shapes how you experience each day.
• The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for fight or flight responses, and when it is overactive, it can fuel anxiety, reactivity and patterns of self-sabotage.
• The parasympathetic nervous system supports rest, safety, and recovery, which are essential for healing, digesting life, and accessing deeper insight.
• Real change becomes possible when you can move out of constant survival mode and into a calmer, more creative state.
• Resistance breathing is a powerful way to support the parasympathetic system, helping your body feel safe enough to relax and open.
• By recognising and regulating your physiological responses to stress, you create the inner conditions to work with your subconscious and invite meaningful change into your life.

Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast, I dive into the hidden world of the subconscious mind and how it quietly runs your life in the background. I explore the idea that around 95% of your daily thoughts, feelings and behaviours are directed by the subconscious, and what that really means for your growth, your relationships and your emotional wellbeing.

I talk about the difference between the conscious mind, the part of you that thinks it is in charge, and the subconscious, the part that is actually driving most of your responses. Using simple examples, like how a child learns what is safe and what is dangerous, I explain how your early experiences shape the patterns that still influence you today, often without you realising.

From there, I explore the power of working directly with the subconscious. I share why immersive meditation and deeper inner work can reach places that traditional talk-based approaches often cannot, and how real transformation happens when you shift the beliefs and stories that live underneath your habits and emotional reactions.

We also look at what is happening in your brain when you feel triggered or overwhelmed. I break down how areas like the amygdala and hippocampus process emotional stimuli, and how this links to modern fears such as social rejection and the pressure to belong in a very connected world.

The episode ends with a guided meditation designed to help you gently access your subconscious and begin forming a new relationship with it. You will leave this episode with a clearer understanding of how your inner world really works and a practical way to start working with your subconscious mind rather than fighting it.

Takeaways:

• The subconscious mind governs a staggering 95% of our actions and emotional responses daily.
• Understanding the differences between the conscious and the subconscious mind is crucial for personal development.
• Immersive meditation is a transformative technique that works directly with the subconscious to facilitate change.
• Accessing the subconscious occurs in specific brainwave states, particularly during deep meditation and hypnosis.
• The subconscious can retain negative habits and beliefs, making it essential to address issues at this deeper level.
• The process of clearing the subconscious is akin to tending to an overgrown garden, where one must first reveal the underlying truth.
