The Nature of the Subconscious

Arche International has provided training in spiritual growth and personal development since 1967. Founder Doctor Rosita Rodriguez conducted research on healing modalities of indigenous people in order to expand upon the education she received from medical school.
What she discovered helped her better understand our true nature and utilizing her scientific training, she was able to create a series of programs to share her knowledge.
Much of what she taught was considered radical at the time, but is now mainstream. Her pronouncements on the nature of the subconscious were viewed skeptically by the medical establishment forty years ago. She claimed that during operations, while the patient is sedated, their subconscious is awake and hears what is being said.
Furthermore, the subconscious has a subjectively young level of consciousness similar to a three year old child, and tends to believe what it hears.
Doctors were already aware of the placebo affect in which the health of a patient given a sugar pill often improved.They didn't have a rational explanation for it, but Rosita's research demonstrated how powerful belief is in healing.
As powerful authority figures, doctors have a great responsibility to do no harm to the patient. Verbalizing a negative prognosis during an operation could have dire consequences.
Rosita explained that the subconscious is responsible for the functioning of the physical body. Her own work with terminally ill patients taught her that counseling all levels was imperative if the patient was to survive. For although the subconscious operates the physical body, it needs guidance to maintain optimal health.
