Conscious Mind
When people refer to the mental life of someone, they are speaking about the conscious mind.
Experience
Unconscious Mind
Everything that is happening in and around you that you are unaware of is handled by the unconscious mind. The purpose of the unconscious mind is to decide what becomes conscious by one of two methods : pushing it into the conscious mind, and by filtering out things from your conscious awareness.
When you've had a thought suddenly appear in your conscious mind, you have experienced the unconscious faculty of making you aware of something by "pushing" it into your conscious awareness.
Right now there are several things around you which you are unaware. Things like how you are sitting in your chair or the general temperature of the room. Things that would be redundant to constantly notice are filtered out of your conscious awareness so that your conscious mind can focus on more important things.
Subliminal
Subliminal refers to everything perceived below conscious awareness.
A subliminal is such a stimulus.
Mind and Body
NLP takes a holistic approach. Therefore the body and mind are not considered to be completely separate, but linked as two parts of the same system.
The mind can affect the body and vice versa.
