The subconscious mind communicates through feelings, emotions, and dreams. The subconscious mind is more than 90% while conscious mind is less than 10 % communicating through thoughts and perception. The messages from the subconscious mind may come in the form of insights, known as intuition, or our Higher Self. In a spiritual interpretation, through intense emotions, such as depression, the Spirit brings our attention to some areas of our life that require changes. The inner dialogue is needed if we want to understand depression at the level of our subconscious mind. By exploring the meaning of feelings and asking questions from the place of the heart, we are likely to understand the truth of a given situation. The answers come through practicing meditation, relaxation, journaling, faithful prayer, intention, trust, or intuition.
