Anais NinAs you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Whatever you habitually think sinks into the subconscious.

Whatever you feel is true, your subconscious will accept and bring forth into experience.
