Introduction: Why This Book Matters
Imagine having a hidden treasure chest buried deep inside you, waiting to be unlocked. That treasure is your subconscious mind—an infinite source of creativity, healing, and success.
In his timeless classic, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Joseph Murphy explains how this inner power can be harnessed to shape your reality. From healing ailments to achieving wealth, from overcoming fear to building unshakable confidence—Murphy shows us that our thoughts become our world.
This book is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or limited by external circumstances. Whether you’re an entrepreneur in search of breakthroughs, a student struggling with self-doubt, or a professional seeking balance, Murphy’s lessons are a practical roadmap to success and personal growth.
Chapter 1: The Treasure House Within You
Murphy begins with a powerful metaphor: your subconscious mind is a treasure house. Inside it lies magnetic attraction—a force that draws success, confidence, and opportunity. Conversely, when filled with fear and doubt, it creates lack of attraction, repelling growth and causing obstacles.
“My subconscious mind will make sure that I get it.”
By affirming positively and refusing to use negative words like “I cannot do this” or “I don’t have money for this”, you activate this treasure.
Real-Life Example
Consider Ramesh, a young marketing professional in Delhi. For years, he repeated, “I am not good with clients.” His subconscious absorbed this, creating self-sabotage. After reading Murphy’s book, he shifted his affirmations to: “I am a confident communicator. My ideas are valuable.” Within six months, he became his company’s top account manager.
Chapter 2: How Does Your Own Mind Work?
Murphy compares the mind to a constant companion:
-
The conscious mind acts as the gatekeeper.
-
The subconscious mind obeys whatever it’s told—good or bad.
Positive suggestions lead to positive outcomes. Negative ones plant seeds of failure.
That’s why autosuggestion (repeated affirmations) is powerful. Statements like:
-
“I am a confident speaker.”
-
“I am attracting financial abundance.”
-
“I am a good singer.”
When repeated daily, they bypass the conscious doubts and take root in the subconscious.
Real-Life Example
Priya, an aspiring singer from Bangalore, constantly told herself, “I’m not good enough.” Stage fright paralyzed her. After practicing daily affirmations—“I sing with confidence, my voice inspires”—she noticed shifts. Within a year, she performed live on stage at a city festival, her confidence radiating.
Chapter 3: The Miracle Working Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Murphy stresses that the subconscious is always active, always creating. Whether you feed it positive or negative thoughts, it manifests accordingly.
The key is expectation. If you expect success, the subconscious aligns circumstances to deliver it. If you expect failure, it delivers that too.
Don’t talk negatively about your life—your subconscious doesn’t filter sarcasm or self-deprecation.
Real-Life Example
Take Steve Jobs—while not a direct student of Murphy, Jobs embodied the principle. He constantly envisioned the future of personal computing, repeating his vision until it materialized. His subconscious mind drove creativity and resilience, leading to Apple’s revolution.
Chapter 4: Mental Healing in Ancient Times
Throughout history, belief has triggered healing. Murphy recounts stories like a woman who prayed daily to Buddha to restore her voice—and eventually, her faith gave it back.
The lesson? Belief is medicine. When you truly believe healing or success is possible, your subconscious begins to align your body and environment to support it.
Modern Reflection
We see this today in the placebo effect. Patients often recover simply because they believe they’re receiving medicine, proving the subconscious mind’s role in healing.
Chapter 5: Mental Healing in Modern Times
In the modern world, visualization amplifies healing. You must imagine what you desire and believe in it. Visualization creates emotional intensity that imprints deeply on the subconscious.
Real-Life Example
An Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps, famously visualized every stroke of his races before competing. By the time he entered the pool, he had already “swum” and “won” countless races in his mind. That mental rehearsal powered his victories.
Chapter 6: Practical Techniques in Mental Healing
Murphy provides practical exercises to shift thoughts from the conscious to the subconscious.
-
Repeat affirmations like:
“I am free from this habit.”
“I feel peace and harmony.” -
Practice before sleep when the subconscious is most receptive.
-
Use imagery: picture yourself already enjoying the result you want.
These practices gradually reprogram the subconscious mind to work in your favor.
