So you're saying this isn't something we can just tackle on our own—that we actually need a specialized therapist? Who even handles this kind of work, and what's the damage to my wallet?
Murphy doesn't mention anything like that in the book... he focuses on solo work through affirmations and visualization. If I'm following you correctly, you're saying doing it alone is basically useless?

Exactly—which is why I'm asking: what does this actually involve? What's the actual process?

I mean, you can't really flip a bad belief into a good one; you just layer new ones on top of them.
The problem is you eventually just hit a wall because you're constantly swapping one idea for another, which wastes energy since you're still technically feeding those old patterns.
Honestly, I think techniques focused on clearing out harmful beliefs from your subconscious are way more interesting than just standard reprogramming.
The subconscious connects with the astral plane, pulling changes into your daily reality through manifestation—sort of like that "as above, so below" idea. Basically, if it isn't in your subconscious, it isn't happening. If it is in there, well, maybe it will happen.
Lately, it seems like putting God into your subconscious has become a bit of a trendy thing.
Alright, but how does one actually pull that off?
vividrider472 said:Working on the subconscious basically means becoming aware of the emotions tied to specific events or relationships—and then actually integrating them. You can do this through various methods, like what people often call "digging." This involves using a very specific set of questions to guide someone beneath their conscious mind—which, let’s face it, tends to just loop the same old patterns over and over. Ideally, you want to hit those lower alpha or even theta brainwave frequencies—that sweet spot right before you drift off to sleep—to let the answers float up from the subconscious. You can reach that state through certain breathing techniques—which anyone can do—or by how you approach meditation and energy work. The goal during these sessions is for the person to vocalize the emotions as they arise and link them back to specific situations, eventually tracing everything back to a core belief.
It's definitely easier with a therapist, though you can totally do it solo if you practice a bit.
Another great way to clear out the subconscious is through "shadow work"—directly tackling traits we dislike, reject, or feel ashamed of in ourselves (or in others). It makes the conversation much more straightforward, but you still have to ride through those emotional waves until things settle. This method is actually a bit easier to tackle alone, but you need grit—it can take hours if you're dealing with something heavy. Feel free to take breaks or just pick it up again the next day when you're feeling less drained. I'd suggest starting with something smaller and less painful just to get a feel for the process.
Affirmations can work too, but you really have to test them to see if they're actually doing anything. Other alternative techniques are helpful as well.
Once you've worked through something, you check your beliefs again to see how much has shifted. But honestly? The best way to tell is through your reality—how you actually show up for yourself and others afterward.
If anyone has questions, please ask—I don't want to write a novel for no reason! If you want to know how to apply this to your own life, I'm happy to walk you through it using your specific example, but let's stick to Skype or a phone call—I just don't have enough time to type it all out. So, yeah, I'm here.
Oh, and there's some good reading material out there if you're interested.🙂
I honestly don't get it—how exactly are you supposed to flip negative, limiting beliefs about yourself or life into something positive?
