Freud compared the human mind to an iceberg. He said that only about one-tenth of our mind is the tip of the iceberg, the conscious mind, the rest of our mind, 90%, is unconscious, and is submerged beneath the water.
This means that only a fragment of our ideas and feelings are conscious or known to us, while the vast bulk of our mental content is unconscious or "invisible .
Really understanding this is a very important starting point in your journey of becoming your own healer.
Bruce Lipton presented this iceberg model in this way :
By the age of 7 years old we have a programme in place, this programme comes about as a result of our childhood upbringing, socialisation, conditioning and trauma.
This programme is what is referred to above as the unconscious, it is the part below the iceberg , so the 90%.
It's the stuff we are not consciously aware of but is unknowingly running our lives and because of this programme we develop distorted beliefs, toxic thoughts and unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as unknown stress responses.
It houses deeply ingrained limiting beliefs and emotions that can manifest as physical symptoms.
The programme will run the show until it is reprogrammed, and this doesn't just happen from thoughts or knowledge alone. It takes time, commitment and tools.
We hope to walk you through this journey, so stay tuned.
Why you may be asking is this important information in relation to you helping yourself physically heal your body?
Our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can create physiological responses in the body, affecting our body chemistry, immune system, hormone levels, and overall well-being.
Unconscious (unknown) anxiety and hidden stress may present as physical and mental health symptoms that we don't notice.
Medical scientific research is showing that in the long run this causes illnesses, especially cancer, autoimmune, diabetes and heart disease. Beliefs are translated in chemistry that will not support our health and vitality.
The unconscious mind plays out on our body, as the body/mind believes that they're living in the same unhappy experience that was in the past and therefore keep producing cascades of stress responses in that same cycle.
We will be digging deeper into this and looking at specific diseases.
For now, just to say that, physical symptoms of unconscious anxiety include muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, sweating, gastrointestinal disruptions, or changes in sleep patterns.
These physical symptoms occur without a clear cause or trigger but will persist because of underlying unknown stress and over time can lead to some serious health issues such as cancer or diabetes.
We humans sadly have become so used the living like this and as such unfortunately do not pay attention to these symptoms or we medicate them away.
