Healing Subconscious Patterns

Healing Subconscious Patterns

Podcast Summary

Healing subconscious patterns is a gradual and layered process that requires patience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to self-awareness. These patterns, formed through childhood experiences, trauma, or societal conditioning, influence how we respond to life’s challenges without us even realizing it. They keep us stuck in loops that no longer serve us, but healing begins when we bring them into conscious awareness.

In this episode, we discuss how practices like meditation, yoga, and therapy can help us recognize and release these patterns. Each practice offers something unique, addressing the different layers of mind, body, and spirit. Healing is not about perfection but about cultivating compassion and understanding as we peel back the layers of our conditioning.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have been on it for years, this episode provides practical insights on how to heal these subconscious patterns and create lasting change, leading to greater emotional freedom and inner peace.

Healing Subconscious Patterns

Our subconscious patterns are like deep grooves in the mind—formed through years of emotional conditioning and experiences that often go unnoticed. These patterns influence how we respond to relationships, stress, and emotions, shaping our lives in ways we may not fully understand. In this episode, we explore how healing these patterns starts with awareness.

Healing subconscious patterns isn’t about fixing ourselves but about bringing these automatic behaviors into our conscious awareness and gently unraveling them. Practices like meditation and yoga are essential tools for this process, as they help create the space for us to observe these patterns and understand their origins. Therapy, too, provides a way to explore and process the emotional wounds that underlie our behaviors, helping us see the root causes with more clarity.

The process of healing is layered—it’s not something that happens overnight. It requires patience and a deep commitment to self-awareness and self-compassion. Over time, as we bring more attention to these subconscious behaviors, we begin to shift our responses and create new, healthier patterns that align more fully with our true selves. This is where transformation begins—through the steady work of awareness and the willingness to let go of what no longer serves us.

The Role of Multiple Healing Practices

Healing subconscious patterns requires a holistic approach—no single practice can address all the dimensions of our mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, we discuss how multiple healing practices, such as yoga, meditation, therapy, and bodywork, each offer unique benefits that contribute to the overall healing process.

Therapy helps us verbalize and process emotions, while yoga connects us to the body, allowing us to release the stored tension and trauma that often accompany subconscious patterns. Meditation is a powerful tool for developing awareness, helping us observe the hidden thoughts and behaviors that shape our lives. And bodywork taps into the emotions held within the body, offering physical and emotional release that can’t always be accessed through talking alone.

By integrating these practices, we create a holistic approach that addresses all aspects of ourselves—mind, body, and spirit. Healing isn’t just about fixing the mind or relaxing the body—it’s about bringing all parts of ourselves into alignment. By using multiple tools, we give ourselves the best chance to fully uncover and release the subconscious patterns that keep us stuck, leading to lasting transformation and a deeper connection to our true selves.

Personal Journey of Recovery and Self-Discovery

In this episode, we share our journey through recovery and self-discovery, reflecting on how healing our subconscious patterns has been a gradual unfolding. Early on, our recovery was driven by fear—the fear of losing ourselves completely. But as we progressed in our healing journey, we began to shift from merely surviving to a place of curiosity and self-awareness.

Through practices like therapy, yoga, and meditation, we started to uncover the emotional wounds and conditioning that had driven many of our behaviors. Each layer revealed something new, and as we explored these patterns, we began to see ourselves more clearly. Healing became not just about letting go of harmful habits but about understanding the deeper patterns that had been shaping our lives.

This process wasn’t easy—it took time, patience, and a deep commitment to staying present with ourselves. But over time, we found that as we peeled back each layer, we became more aligned with our true selves. This journey of self-discovery has brought us more balance, peace, and emotional freedom, and it’s a path we continue to walk every day.

Conclusion

Healing subconscious patterns is a journey that requires patience, awareness, and a holistic approach. By incorporating multiple healing practices like therapy, yoga, meditation, and bodywork, we can address the layers of the mind and body, uncovering the conditioning that has shaped us for years. This journey is not about perfection—it’s about learning to be more present, compassionate, and aligned with our true selves. Healing takes time, but with each step, we come closer to emotional freedom and lasting transformation.

All spiritual masters teach us that love is an activity before it is a condition – and that love is all-encompassing.

It felt like I was coming off a race track and driving in a school zone. He knew, years before I did, that my speed was my way of suppressing my early childhood anxiety, and that only slowing down could heal it.

Why do you need to use all these words like God and spirituality? It is right here Abdi, all around you, all the time

one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

Ultimately it keeps grace out of our lives because we are using our will power to manipulate every event and person around us.

His lesson, which I had begun to learn for myself, is that outside circumstances do not define our internal experience if we can surrender into them. Painful or undesirable situations will always arise; true suffering comes from our ego’s desire to resist life as it is.

Note from Pernilla:
I met Abdi in the fall of 2014 and when I arrived in his office the first thing he said was, “It’s time that you stop carrying other people’s anxiety.” In the year that followed, my entrenched codependency patterns reared their ugly heads and I was confronted with a part of myself that I had never even known was there.

A few years later, Abdi said, “When are you going to start writing your book?”I looked at him in surprise. I was not a writer. My expertise was centered around creating crazy good Excel spreadsheets. However, I started writing and collecting notes about life issues and life experiences … and here we are a few years later.

Sally Kempton is a preeminent meditation teacher of our time.

She is an expert scholar in Hinduism and all Hindu texts especially in Kashmir Shaivisim. Formerly Swami Durgananda, she left monastic life in the 1980’s to teach publicly. She has written several books and is one of the most known and loved spiritual teachers in our time.

Note from Pernilla:

I met Sally at one of her workshops at City Yoga in LA in 2003. She had the most gentle and loving disposition, and I just wanted to always be around her. I was fortunate to have been part of her two year-long “Transformative journey” courses in 2006 and 2007 and many retreats ever since. She is the true representation of unconditional love and transmits intense shakti from her Guru Swami Muktananda.

Sally is the primary building block and foundation in my spiritual journey. Without her, I would have never found and stuck with meditation – the most transformative experience of my life. Without her, I would have been lost without a clue where to go next. Her wealth of knowledge of yogic philosophy and incredible understanding of the human condition is what makes her a force to be reckoned with.  She understands your depth and makes you feel seen, heard, validated, and deeply loved.
