It definitely works.......not every time but the more I practise the more often it does work.
But yeah I do think that alot of time peoples reactions to things are more subconscious and impulsive rather than concious but I do think if you recognise these things in yourself you can try to stop yourself and make more concious decisions.
Hope that post makes sense!

Yes I really do believe in it and like Niamh I always try to take a step back and analyse why something is making me feel uncomfortable...and if I manage to.I usually find it has been triggered by a subconcious memory. It's not always possible to do it because we can't just conjure up the subconsious at will..for me it's bit like following a trial..
..I was told that our subconsious remembers everything..photographically..so all information is stored there..and it effects most of our behaviour even though we may not realise it..because we will be drawn to situations with 'happy links'..and feel uncomfortable with ones with 'sad links'......
...I don't think that was a very good way to describe it lol
..I do personally agree with the article
