The ego mind is our conscious mind, the one that worry’s about anything that is materialistic, it’s concerns are based on fears and expectations. The ego mind blocks your awareness of who you really are, it draws your attention to your fears and wants.
                                                                     
The sub-conscious mind is your inner-self, when drawn forward through meditation, it will give you a sense of who you really are, it will guide you in what you really need.
For example, your wordily concerns may be focused on obtaining a car, so you work overtime, to achieve this goal, allowing yourself no free time.
The inner-self knows that it requires time out because the mental, emotional and physical stress placed on the body is excessive, so it will create a illness so that it will have to rest.

If this is the case, the ego mind will have a total reaction of fear for it had created a want of obtaining a car, and becoming ill has hindered this desire.

Meditation will bring about a balance between the ego-mind and the inner-self , it will help you gain more insight into your needs and wants..
