Chart: “Will Power – Conscious Mind –> Body Movements –> Subconscious Mind –> Conscious Control of Our Responses to Threat Energy,” by Alice B. Clagett, 17 July 2023, CC BY-SA 4.0 International, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … COMMENTS: The subconscious mind normally is the mind that controls the nerves of the autonomic nervous system and the fight-or-flight response and the freeze-fawn-and-flop responses. But through our own strength of Will, we can use the bodily movements under our conscious control … those innervated by the somatic nervous system … to influence our subconscious mind. In that way we can consciously control our responses to threat energy. –Alice B. Clagett

The yoga techniques at our disposal are hand gestures, which are also known as mudras; sacred chants, which are sometimes termed mantras; breathing techniques called pranayama; body postures termed asanas; and yoga sets, sometimes called kriyas. These kriyas include various combinations of mudras, mantras, pranayama, and asanas. Among the simplest of these yogic techniques are the pranayama, which involve conscious control of our breathing patterns. –Alice B. Clagett
